Chapter 20: Suspicion Rises

The newcomer was Elder Karl, and he saw Liam looking aggressive from a distance, so he began to taunt Liam loudly before he could get close to Li Ye and the others.

"Carl, what nonsense are you talking about!" Liam had already planned to tear up Carl by name when he saw Karl openly wooing Dick in the castle earlier, so at this time he unceremoniously called Karl by his name.

"Nonsense! What nonsense did I say! I see that you are clearly pretending to be so excited, maybe you killed Dick. Carl had already walked over by this time, and at the same time shouted loudly.

I don't know if he was confused by Liam's disrespectful arrogance, or if he really thought so in his heart.

Then, without waiting for Liam to speak, Karl preemptively said: "I see that you just know that Dick is ready to agree to join my side, and you have a grudge and want to weaken my strength, so you killed Dick." ”

Liam saw that Li Ye and Ye Mengying listened to Carl's words, and they both cast suspicious glances at him, and immediately his eyes turned red, and he roared at Carl: "Old fellow, you are spewing blood!"

Immediately after that, Liam's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Carl, and he punched Karl in the heart.

In the face of Liam's sudden attack, Karl smiled coldly, he knew that if he said this, the grumpy Liam would definitely not be able to help but attack him, so he had already taken precautions and also swung his fist at Liam.

Bang, the two fists collided, the strong wind overflowed, Liam and Carl, one was young and strong, the other was profound, the two of them were on par with each other, and they took a step back at the same time.

Liam and Carl looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of jealousy in each other's gazes, because they both thought that their strength was higher than that of the other party, but they didn't expect it to be half a catty.

Two strange screams like night owls rang out in the empty street at the same time, and the figures of Liam and Carl collided again, their fists and kicks constantly clashing, and neither of them had any intention of dodging.

The battle between the bloodlines is a competition of speed and strength, because unless they can completely defeat the opponent in speed and strength, with the strong recovery ability of the bloodline, ordinary minor injuries will not be able to affect them at all.

Seeing that the fight between Liam and Carl is getting more and more intense, and it is very likely that the complete fall of one side will be the final end, Lee cannot sit idly by.

But Li Ye was just about to make a move to stop him, but Ye Mengying, who was standing next to him, flew out one step ahead of him.

I didn't see how fast Ye Mengying's pace was, but I saw Ye Mengying taking light steps step by step, but in an instant, he had already appeared next to Liam and Carl.

The clear light flashed, Ye Mengying twitched from his waist, and a three-foot Qingfeng appeared in his hand, and Li Ye realized that Ye Mengying's belt around his jeans turned out to be a soft sword.

I saw Ye Mengying's wrist tremble, and a soft sword immediately turned into countless sword shadows, slashing towards Liam and Carl in the fierce battle.

Although Liam and Carl fought inextricably, their keen perception still grasped all the movements around them clearly, so as soon as Ye Mengying came to them, they were already alert.

At this time, seeing Ye Mengying attacking them, Liam and Carl put away their attacks on each other almost at the same time, and instead punched Ye Mengying together.

With two clanging sounds, Liam and Carl first blocked Ye Mengying's soft sword with their claws with their claws, and then kicked Ye Mengying's heart with their feet very tacitly, and hit Ye Mengying's face with their fists.

Ye Mengying didn't expect that Liam and Carl still looked like they were going to kill each other just now, but as soon as she made a move, the two didn't need any communication, so they didn't hesitate to choose to be unanimous.

However, in the face of the pincer attack, Ye Mengying was not afraid at all, because although she did not have much experience in actual combat against the enemy, after all, she was a master and her swordsmanship was superb.

The sword moved with his heart, and his body followed the sword, Ye Mengying unfolded the long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword immediately turned into a little star, and for a while, Liam and Carl were all enveloped in her sword momentum.

"In the past, there was a beautiful woman Gongsun, who danced with a sword and moved in all directions. The spectators are depressed like mountains, and the heavens and the earth are low for a long time. ”

Looking at Ye Mengying in the moonlight, he was one against two, but he was still graceful, like a dancing elf, Li Ye's mind couldn't help but think of the verses in "Sword Weapon Xing".

Could this be the Yue Nu Sword?

Li Ye's eyes flashed from time to time, he thought that Liu Yongqiang had thrown him a big trouble, but now he found that he had found a treasure.

Whether it is from the perspective of criminal investigation or her own strength, Ye Mengying is very good, the only thing she lacks is experience.

Li Ye watched for a while, and he saw that although Ye Mengying's swordsmanship was exquisite, she was a girl after all, and her strength was not long enough, and if she continued to fight, she would inevitably suffer.

So Li also said loudly: "A few people are almost done, you can stop!"

However, Ye Mengying and Liam Carl were fighting at this time, not only Liam and Carl, but even Ye Mengying was deaf to Li Ye's words.

Li Ye saw that no one was paying attention to him, he couldn't help frowning, he glanced around, and found that there was a street sign inserted there near the left, so he walked over.

When he came to the street sign, Li Ye grabbed the iron rod under the street sign, the red light in his eyes suddenly appeared, and with a slight effort of his arms, the street sign that was originally firmly embedded in the bluestone slab was pulled up by Li Ye effortlessly.

Then Li also shook his hand and threw the street sign out.

With a bang, the street sign fell less than half a meter away from the feet of Ye Mengying and the three of them in the fierce battle, and it was even inserted diagonally into the ground.

This time, Li also showed amazing strength, and finally had a very good deterrent effect.

Ye Mengying needless to say, she saw that Li Ye seemed to be angry, and hurriedly tightened her sword, forcing Liam and Carl to take a step back, and then immediately retreated.

And Liam and Carl were also intimidated by Li Ye, and after Ye Mengying jumped out of the battle circle, they did not chase after each other, and they no longer fought with each other.

However, although Liam did not dare to act rashly because of Li Ye's prestige, he was still very angry with Carl's "frame" just now, so after stopping, he also poured dirty water on Carl.

"Carl, you said I killed Dick, I also want to say that you killed my father! You have been peeping at my father's lordship for so many years, not to mention the people in our clan, even many outsiders know that you are a vile and dirty fellow, and you know that you are not my father's opponent, so you have been making small moves in private. I think you just can't wait, that's why you murdered my father by such a dirty means as poisoning. ”

"Liam, you are a blatant slander!" Karl pointed at Liam's nose with a red face, and this time it was his turn to be anxious.

"Slander, you old thing! Didn't you just talk about it. Liam immediately sneered when he saw Karl's angry look.

"Stinky boy, what do you call me!" Carl couldn't help but feel angry and blushing like a pig's liver when he heard Liam actually call himself an old thing.

"Call you something, call you old thing!"

"You kind of shout again. ”

"Old thing, I'll just call it, what can you do with me!"

Seeing that although Liam and Carl are no longer fists and kicks, the verbal fight is getting more and more fierce, and it is very likely that the conflict will break out again.

But Li Ye was indifferent to this, because Liam's words just now suddenly made an amazing thought suddenly appear in his mind, and as soon as this amazing thought was generated, it could not be shaken down, and his face couldn't help but become more and more solemn.

Ye Mengying, who tied the soft sword back to her waist, retreated to Li Ye's side, she saw that Li Ye's face had become iron blue for some reason, so she asked, "Team leader, what are you thinking?"

"Ahh

"Liar!" Li Ye was perfunctory when he heard this, Ye Mengying couldn't help puffing out his cheeks, and muttered dissatisfiedly.

However, after getting along with Li Ye in the past few days, Ye Mengying also knew that Li was also a person who had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but would not confide in him easily, so he didn't ask questions.

Tapping and tapping, a chaotic sound of footsteps sounded, and at this time, Qin Xuexin, accompanied by Oliver's butler and the manservant Colin, also came to the scene of the crime.

may not want to lose face in front of his subordinates, so as soon as Qin Xuexin and the others approached, Liam and Carl stopped arguing.

Seeing this, Li Ye's heart was slightly relieved, he was still thinking about how to persuade the two, but now he saved his tongue.

Silently looking at Dick's bloodstained corpse, the corners of Qin Xuexin's mouth trembled slightly, and a trace of sadness appeared on her gorgeous face.

Liam on the side saw Qin Xuexin's appearance, and immediately couldn't help but snort coldly, and sneered: "Hmph! When my father died, you didn't even shed a tear, and now that Dick is dead, you are quite sad, could it be that you have a leg with Dick!"

"Master Liam!" Hearing Liam's foul words, Oliver, the butler, hurriedly tried to stop him from continuing.

But Liam ignored it, and then said, "Am I not right? ”

"Liam, keep your mouth clean!" Qin Xuexin knew that Liam had always been hostile to herself because he had taken his mother's place, but at this time, Liam's words still completely angered her.

"Your father is dead, and of course I don't grieve, because he deserves to die. But Dick is the only good man in all of you who still has a good conscience, and you are not dead, but he is dead, and you think I should not be sad about it?"

Qin Xuexin's words were tantamount to listing everyone except Dick as a "bad guy", but although everyone including Liam was not angry, they were dumbfounded, because they knew why.

When Edward frantically tortured Qin Xuexin because of his perverted hobby, making Qin Xuexin feel that life was worse than death, only Dick in the castle risked being severely punished by Edward, and stood up and repeatedly dissuaded him.

Although Dick failed to succeed in the end, Qin Xuexin has always been very supportive of Dick's affection.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry for Master Dick's death, but I want to know if Master Dick has any enemies as far as you know?"

Qin Xuexin's words made Liam and the others fall silent, but Li Ye's question quickly broke the silence.

"Dick rarely goes out, so he doesn't even have friends, let alone enemies. It was Qin Xuexin who answered Li Ye, and her tone was full of sadness, because she, like Dick, couldn't find any close friends.

However, the difference is that Dick does not like to go out and does not want to socialize, while she is locked in the castle by Count Edward all the year round, and can only become a "canary" that belongs to Count Edward alone. ”

"Then do you know why Young Master Dick went out today?"

"Master Dick seemed to have received a phone call, and hurried out. Oliver, the butler, spoke.

"Who called?" Ye Mengying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked first.

"I don't know! Young Master Dick answered the call on his cellphone, and when he saw me nearby, he deliberately avoided me. Oliver, the butler, replied with a shake of his head.

"Do you have Master Dick's cell phone number?" asked Lee.

When he was investigating the scene just now, he groped for Dick's body, but he didn't find Dick's mobile phone, so it seems that he should have been taken away by the murderer.

"Of course. ”

"Okay, you can copy me the number. ”

Before Li finished speaking, Ye Mengying had already prepared the pen and paper very cleverly and handed it to the housekeeper Oliver.

While the butler Oliver was transcribing the phone number, Li also asked, "Do you know when Master Dick left the castle?"

"It was about six o'clock in the evening! I went downstairs to dinner, and I saw Dick go out. Liam thought for a moment and replied.

"Less than six o'clock in the evening?" Li Ye muttered, and began to quickly calculate the time in his heart.

The street where the crime scene is located is located in the northern suburbs of Jiangcheng, and Count Edward's castle is in the forest in the southern suburbs of Jiangcheng.

So if Dick had been killed as soon as he arrived here, the time of death would have been around half past seven, which is ......

Li Ye suddenly thought of something, he quickly took out his mobile phone, and when he saw that the time displayed on the mobile phone was 10:49, his heart sank suddenly.

Is it really the same as I just guessed? Or is it a coincidence?
