Chapter 141: The East Window Incident (Part II)
Ren Baichuan stepped forward and saluted Yin Meiru: "The old man greets the Holy Maiden." ”
Yin Meiru hurriedly got up, walked down the steps, greeted him and helped him up, and said, "Uncle Ren, how can you give me such a big gift, isn't this to torment the juniors?"
"You can't say that, the Sect Master once said, Holy Maiden, your status is respected, above the top ten elders, the old man doesn't dare to forget the Sect Master's teachings. ”
Yin Meiru shouted at the maidservant on the side: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you move a chair for Uncle Ren quickly." ”
The maidservants hurriedly moved a Taishi chair from the side and sat on Ren Baichuan.
Yin Meiru asked knowingly: "Uncle Ren, you came to me today, but what happened?"
Ren Baichuan didn't answer her directly, but looked at Bi Sheng on the side and scolded: "Hmph! Bi Sheng, who gave you such the courage to lead someone to trespass into the Holy Maiden's Palace?"
"Returning to the Great Elder, I am here to arrest the criminals......"
"Bold, why don't you make amends to the Holy Maiden?"
"Yes!" Although Bi Sheng had grievances in his heart, he didn't dare not listen to the words of this top boss.
He immediately saluted Yin Meiru and made amends: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, please forgive the villain's rude sin!"
Yin Meiru didn't want to embarrass him anymore, so she had to say: "Bi Sheng, I will forgive you for your rudeness, but you have to remember, don't take it as an example!"
At this time, Ren Baichuan smiled at Yin Meiru and said: "Holy Maiden, in fact, the old man came today, it is actually a case of the robbery of Yuanshi in the palace, I want to see Wang En, Zhan Chen, Zhou Yongshun, and Li Guihua." ”
Yin Meiru saw that the Great Elder had spoken in person, and it was not easy to refuse, so she replied: "Okay then, but you can ask in this hall, and this palace is also interested in this." ”
Then, she turned her head and said to the maids next to her, "You go and call Zhou Yongshun, Wang En, and Li Guihua to come over." ”
"Yes!"
"Zhan Chen, you can come out too!"
"Yes!" Zhan Chen replied on the side, but his heart had already jumped to his throat, but he had always been unhappy and angry, so he couldn't see it on the surface.
At this time, he saw Yin Meiru passing him a look of encouragement and support, his heart calmed down a little, and he had made up his mind: "With this woman to protect me, there shouldn't be much of a problem, whatever you ask me later, I just need to pretend to be stupid." ”
Zhan Chen silently walked to the center of the main hall and stood with his head bowed, he could feel the scrutinizing gaze from Ren Baichuan and Bi Sheng and an invisible coercion.
He resisted the pressure, stood firmly, and even raised his head, pretending to have a clear conscience.
After a while, the other three also came, Zhan Chen and Li Guihua glanced at each other, everything was silent.
Seeing that the four of them had already arrived, Ren Baichuan walked up to them and first glanced at them with a sharp gaze. The people who made eye contact with him subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
"The old man is Ren Baichuan, the great elder of the Criminal Department, and I came here today to ask you a few questions. Of course, you all have to answer truthfully, and you must not hide it, because we have sufficient evidence and now we just want to verify it. ”
All four replied, "But by the Great Elder." ”
"Okay, you are all those who experienced the robbery of the Holy Maiden Peak Yuanshi in the previous period. ”
The four of them looked at each other, and their hearts began to feel uneasy, and they all nodded.
"But do you know? Just a few days ago, another big incident happened, that is, our Criminal Department carried out a big sweep of Yinque City, and caught many remnants of the Righteous Path Alliance, among them, some people confessed the whole story of the robbery of this Yuan Stone, saying that someone in our Demon Luo Sect assisted in planning this conspiracy!"
Speaking of this, Ren Baichuan's words came to an abrupt end, and he stared at the four of them tightly.
At this moment, Zhan Chen's mind was in a hurry, what kind of expression should he show? Is he calm? No, being too calm will cause suspicion, and the real right thing should be to show some surprise and fear, so that it will be easier to get by!
Thinking of this, Zhan Chen's face immediately changed, revealing a trace of shock and panic.
Sure enough, Ren Baichuan's gaze left his body, and finally fell on Li Guihua in the crowd, pointing at him and asking, "You, what's your name?"
"Back to the Great Elder, my name is Li Guihua. ”
"You don't seem to be from our demonic path?"
"That's right, because I haven't been able to find my favorite demon path exercises, it's not a demon cultivator for the time being. ”
"Do you know? The remnants of the Righteous Path Alliance have one of the most prominent characteristics, that is, they are not demon cultivators!"
"Hehe, Great Elder, there are also many disciples in our Demon Luo Sect who don't cultivate demons, and I just haven't found a suitable exercise. ”
"Then can you recount the events of the day Yuanshi was robbed?"
"Yes, that day, the five of us were led by a small martial artist to a building in the jungle, Wang En and Zhou Yongshun were stopped outside the house, and I, Huang Youshu and Zhan Chen, were invited to go upstairs to trade, but as soon as we went upstairs, they had bad intentions after seeing Yuan Shi, and surrounded the three of us. ”
What Li Guihua said was basically the same as what the Criminal Department had learned before, Ren Baichuan nodded, and asked again: "Who is Zhan Chen?"
Zhan Chen stepped forward and replied, "I've seen the Great Elder below. ”
"You're not from my demon path either?"
"Back to the Great Elder, the little one originally worshiped under the powerful ghost sect in the Eastern Rakshasa Country, but fortunately he was appreciated by the Holy Maiden, and brought the little one to the Demon Luo Sect, but it has only been more than a year, and he has not been given the supreme practice of this sect. ”
"Yes, Zhan Chen was brought back by me personally!" Yin Meiru also hurriedly said at this time.
Bi Sheng on the side looked at Zhan Chen, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but in view of his cultivation being too low, and his appearance was not as good as his own, he didn't think much about it.
Ren Baichuan groaned: "So that's the case, the possibility that Zhan Chen is an undercover agent of the Righteous Dao Alliance is very small. ”
He then asked, "Then Zhan Chen, tell me, is there anything to hide what Li Guihua said just now?"
"Back to the Great Elder, what Li Guihua said is true. ”
"I already basically know the situation, come on! Temporarily detain Li Guihua and Zhan Chen!
The hearts of both of them were shocked, and they didn't know which link went wrong.
Yin Meiru's eyes flashed with anxiety, and she called, "Uncle Ren, what's wrong?"
Ren Baichuan smiled and said: "Holy Maiden, don't panic, these two people are not from my demon path, I just took them back to search and interrogate them in detail, there are still quite a lot of suspicious points here, which need to be verified, if it turns out that these two people are indeed innocent, I will naturally put them back as they were." ”
This time it was Yin Meiru's turn to be embarrassed, Ren Baichuan's status was no better than Bi Sheng, even his father had to sell him three points of thin noodles.
Seeing that Yin Mei was silent, Zhan Chen's heart became anxious, I don't know what situation will happen when I go to the Criminal Department, if I show my feet, it will be a big deal!
Yin Meiru saw Zhan Chen's embarrassed appearance, gritted her silver teeth and said: "If you want to take it, you can only take Li Guihua alone, Zhan Chen is a cronie I personally selected, and Qu Lao can also testify, there will be no problem, I can't let you take him away!"
Seeing her stubborn appearance, Ren Baichuan also had a headache, and was about to persuade again, but heard a burst of wild laughter.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the laughter, but they found that the person who was laughing was Li Guihua.
Ren Baichuan's expression changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Li Guihua, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at the stupidity and incompetence of your Demon Luo Sect, after investigating for so long, you haven't found out the real traitor. ”
"You mean, you're the mole. ”
"That's right! Now, the result is the same whether I say it or not, anyway, if you enter the criminal department, don't think about coming out again!"
"And you can still laugh?"
"Laugh, of course I have to laugh, my mission has been accomplished, robbed the Yuanshi, and passed on the news that you are going to attack our branch. ”
A trace of confusion flashed in Ren Baichuan's eyes, and he said, "I don't know something, how did you know that we were going to attack Yinque City by surprise?"
"Because, you also have our people in the Criminal Department!" Li Guihua said confidently.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a surprise to those present.
Ren Baichuan further asked, "Oh, who is it?"
"Hahaha, I'll never tell you, including how we got in touch. ”
Yin Mei shouted in front of her at this time: "Li Guihua, then the robbery of our Holy Maiden Peak Yuanshi was also planned by you?"
"Yes, I just took advantage of the contradiction between Huang Youshu and Zhan Chen to set up this game, and all of you are being played with by me, hahaha!" Li Guihua deliberately pointed at Zhan Chen, Wang En, and Zhou Yongshun with his hand and laughed.
"Li Guihua, I really misjudged you, and I trusted you so much!" Yin Meiru reprimanded loudly.
"Hmph! Death is unrepentant! Bi Sheng, escort him back to the Criminal Department for me, and I will use our 108 tortures to pry his mouth open!" Ren Baichuan said in a cold voice.
"Yes!" After Bi Sheng received the order, he stepped forward with a few entourages, subdued Li Guihua on the spot, and twisted him down.
At this time, Zhan Chen's eyes were a little moist, Li Guihua didn't have to be exposed so quickly, he did everything to be able to better protect himself.
Suddenly, he saw Li Guihua trying his best to turn around and glanced at him, and that glance was full of anticipation.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Chen couldn't help but be silent, he knew what the other party wanted to say to him, but could he afford such a task?
