Chapter 30: The Truth
Seeing Situ Hao's trance, Zhong Hou didn't know where the mood came from, so he actually comforted him and said: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, if you can't even accept a small failure, how will you gain a foothold in Situ in the future, let alone the vast world outside." ”
This sentence was like an initiation, which made Situ Hao's mood open up at once, and his feelings of entanglement and depression were swept away.
It was accompanied by Situ Hao's loud shout, and a rolling torrent rushed up in his body. Not only did the previous minor injuries completely heal, but they also broke through.
At the age of eighteen, he reached the fourth layer of the day after tomorrow, one year before the first day of their Situ family's history.
Situ Hao let out a long smile: "Hahaha... Hahaha... It's four floors... It's four floors... I am the first day of the history of the Situ family. . . Hahaha... ”
Seeing Situ Hao, who looked like a mad demon, Zhong Hou was also speechless for a while. I didn't expect that my unintentional words would let the other party break through like this.
After the breakthrough, Situ Hao rekindled his fighting spirit.
"Come again. ”
After that, Situ Hao didn't stupidly let Zhong Hou strike first, but exerted his strength and speed to the extreme, hoping to take the lead before Zhong Hou made a move.
Situ Hao's current speed and strength have made a qualitative leap, and the gap between him and Zhong Hou is not big, and Zhong Hou has to deal with it carefully.
It's just that the other party has just broken through, and his cultivation has not yet stabilized, so Zhong Hou is still very easy to deal with.
Zhong Hou had the heart to hone his combat power and was not in a hurry to win. As a result, the two sides went back and forth and exchanged thousands of moves, regardless of victory or defeat, and the onlookers applauded again and again.
This kind of battle scene is not often seen, and the battle at this level is the best opportunity for them to learn, how could they miss it.
However, there will be a time when the battle will come to an end.
When Situ Hao's strength was about to run out, he was finally knocked down by Zhong Hou with another punch.
Situ Hao, who stood up again, did not continue to attack, but arched his hand to Zhong Hou and said, "Thank you." ”
Then he seemed to see through everything and sighed: "You are right... Talented... It's just a false name... ”
In today's battle, Zhong Hou not only helped him break through, but also helped him stabilize his cultivation, and Situ Hao's heart was full of gratitude. Moreover, today's battle made him understand the truth that there are people outside the sky, and for him, a breakthrough in his state of mind is more important than a breakthrough in cultivation.
"It's your own business, and it has nothing to do with me. Zhong Hou waved his hand and said politely.
Zhong Hou didn't want to continue this topic, and said, "The war is also fighting, how about the things you promised me." ”
"Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as there's news. ”
"Okay, I'll leave beforehand, and you'll find me again if you have news. By the way, you should know where to find me, with your status, it shouldn't be difficult to find me. With that, Zhong Hou ignored everyone's reactions, turned around and left.
In the battle just now, he gained a lot, and he needs to go back and summarize it well. The most important thing is to think about how to leave Situ's house and go out to practice.
But at this moment, the person who had just received Situ Hao's order to go out to investigate came back.
As a child of the Situ family, the efficiency is high.
But he was not the only one who came back with him, there was another Situ detective who Zhong Hou was extremely familiar with.
The disciple of the Situ family who was sent out to investigate was very regretful at this time, regretting why he had to follow Situ Hao's order to leave, causing him to miss such a wonderful battle.
Seeing this, everyone could only cast a sympathetic look at him.
Regret is regret, and what should be done still has to be done.
So he quickly told the results of the investigation.
Of course, the next speaker is not him, but Detective Situ.
The process was not complicated, and soon after the kid left, he inquired about some news, and then found Situ Zheng.
From Situ Zheng's mouth, this disciple knew that Zhong Hou had an experience of being wronged and humiliated, and only then did he understand why Zhong Hou wanted to track down the person who spread rumors.
Thanks to his good luck, in the process of contact with Situ Zheng, he knew that Situ Detective was such a number one person, and then as soon as the two of them talked about it, Detective Situ immediately exerted his power as a detective.
Detective Situ has never given up the investigation of the person behind Sister Hong, and with all kinds of clues, he has already locked on the suspect target.
In the preliminary round of the selection competition on the same day, Situ Jianren was responsible for coordinating the overall situation, and the goal was very obvious.
I don't know if I don't check, but after a check, I actually found that Sister Hong would 'report work' to Situ Jianren every once in a while.
Although there is no evidence that they have anything to look at, it is already very suspicious.
Just by virtue of this suspicion, it does not prove that Situ Jianren was involved in the case of framing Zhong Hou.
Moreover, after Sister Hong's 'suicide in fear of crime', all the staff in charge of guarding that day were all killed, and the clues to the investigation were all cut off. The only result that can be deduced is that Sister Hong did not commit suicide but killed him.
It's a pity that there is no real evidence, and Detective Situ can't just arrest people and ask them for crimes.
It wasn't until the appearance of this Situ family disciple that Detective Situ had a new direction of investigation.
During the time when Zhong Hou and Situ Hao were fighting, Detective Situ found a crucial person.
This time, Detective Situ did not focus on Situ Jianren, but adopted a roundabout strategy and actually found Situ Jianren's wife.
As soon as I asked, the truth immediately emerged.
The source of the rumors is indeed Situ Jianren.
He married the Situ family, a side line, as his wife, completely to make it easier to ascend to a high position, and the only person he really loved in his heart was Sister Hong.
On that day, in order to protect himself, he killed the person he loved the most, and faked the illusion of committing suicide in fear of crime. But he never thought he was a murderer, but instead put all the fault on Zhong Hou, so he wanted to avenge Sister Hong.
In the process of the selection competition, Zhong Hou has become the focus, plus Detective Situ is tracking down the backer behind Sister Hong, if Situ Jianren makes any small moves at that time, the risk of exposure is very large.
So his revenge was chosen after the tryouts.
On a dark and windy night, Situ Jianren 'inadvertently' mentioned Zhong Hou in front of his wife, and said the very hateful words in a very flat tone.
So, as a member of the Situ family, as an adult and boring woman, she gave full play to her gossip skills.
Rumors slowly spread.
As long as the contradiction between Zhong Hou and the young children of the Situ family is provoked, in the end, no matter who on both sides is taught a lesson, Zhong Hou is the unlucky party.
After that, Situ Jianren operated again, drove Zhong Hou out of Situ's house, and then he could use his acquired fifth-layer strength to find a remote and uninhabited place to kill Zhong Hou and avenge Sister Hong.
However, even if the plan goes well, he is only the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow, and in the face of Zhong Hou, who has the strength of the fourth layer of the day after tomorrow, it is really unknown who will kill the deer.
Of course, Situ Jianren didn't know that Zhong Hou's realm had improved significantly again in a short period of time, and he thought that the other party was still the second layer of the day after tomorrow, otherwise he would not be so confident.
Although the results of the investigation can prove that the rumors came from Situ Jianren's mouth, this alone still cannot prove that he is related to the case that designed to frame Zhong Hou, let alone that there is no evidence that Sister Hong's death is related to him.
If you really want to ask about it, Situ Jianren can say that he did it unintentionally. After all, it was just gossip at the time, and there was nothing wrong with expressing his opinion, and what he said was also the truth.
However, there is no need for evidence, because Situ Jianren's house is full of golden drums at this time.
In the process of questioning, Detective Situ 'inadvertently' told Sister Hong and Situ Jianren's suspicious 'relationship', and after Situ Jianren's wife found out, what reason did she have not to stage the War of the Seven Kingdoms at home.
