Chapter 289: The Ship Is Coming
Seeing the long-bearded elder and the green bamboo Weng and others walking towards the place of the incident, everyone nearby also followed curiously.
When Ye Xianglun and the others followed the crowd to the other side of the hill, the body of the "victim" had been carried to the bottom of the hillside, and everyone on the island was okay before they saw the Nanjiang Medical Immortal.
"Which colleague did it? Wu is here at the moment, what's the matter, why don't you come directly at me!" Standing in the middle of the crowd, the long-bearded elder had a blue face, looking around at the onlookers one by one.
"Sect Master Wu, what you said is not right, could it be that you are suspecting that everyone is doing it?" a gray-bearded man with a cane in the crowd shouted in a strange voice with squinting his eyes at the top of his throat.
"The island is full of rivers within a radius of a hundred miles, could it be anyone else besides the people on the island?" Sect Master Wu seemed to have some gap with Hua Bai Hu, and when he heard Hua Bai Hu's question, he directly pointed at Hua Bai Hu with his right halberd.
"So, Sect Master Wu thinks that it was my Xue Cripple who did it? Okay! Then I, Xue Cripple, will settle the old accounts and new accounts together in front of everyone!" After speaking, the white-bearded crutch was turned upside down, and then his right hand pulled out a thin log from the side of the crutch and put it on the crutch, Ye Xianglun took a closer look, it turned out that this crutch turned out to be a musical instrument similar to the erhu.
"Sect Master Wu is slow!" On the other side of the crowd, a well-dressed middle-aged elder saw Sect Master Wu's turquoise notes making a guqin, and immediately stepped forward to persuade him, "Everyone has come to Xiandao to seek medical treatment, and for more than ten years, they have been leaving behind their personal grievances, how could something go wrong here? This must be something else hidden, I hope that Sect Master Wu will not be used by others!"
"That's right! Everyone has become like this, since they have come to the island, who still has the heart to think about the small profits of the three mountains and five mountains? Ahem......" Another elder in the crowd took a step forward with the support of his peers, and Ye Xianglun saw that the person's face was pale, as if he had been seriously ill for many years.
"It's still an old man with insight, a hypocrite like the surname Wu, it's really phew!" the white beard spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, then retracted his instrument, turned back into a cane, and rested it under his shoulder.
Sect Master Wu saw that the other party had withdrawn the instrument, and the turquoise notes that had overflowed from his body were also slowly withdrawn into his thoughts.
"I think everyone understands Sect Master Wu's feelings, the matter has come to this point, I think everyone should think long-term and work together to find out the murderer!" The well-dressed middle-aged man from before took the opportunity to ease up when he saw this.
"That's right, when I was in the cave, I saw that the blood stains in the cave were dry, and I thought that the death of the disciple was not a moment, it should have happened yesterday!" another elder in the crowd jumped out to help analyze.
"Nonsense, the two senior brothers have been with me yesterday, how could it be what happened yesterday?" Hearing the other party's analysis, Wu Hua jumped out unconvinced and argued.
"Tongue-in-cheek, adults talk, how can you interject!" Hearing Wu Hua interject, his gray beard immediately coaxed.
"Daddy!"
Wu Hua turned around and saw that his father was silent, so he had to retreat behind his father in a deflated manner.
"Since it's not daytime, it's probably night!, can any of you have some medical skills, help us see when the deceased died?" suggested the well-dressed middle-aged man again.
"I ......"
After Miss Mu heard the other party's inquiry, she immediately wanted to step forward to test, but unexpectedly, she was privately stopped by Ye Xianglun.
"Please also ask Mr. Luzhu to help with the trial!" Sect Master Wu heard the proposal, and hurriedly bowed down to ask the Luzhu Weng beside him for instructions, and Miss Mu realized that her medical skills were really not worth mentioning in front of Luzhu Weng.
"Humph!"
Lu Zhu Weng's own disciple died in battle, and his mood was somewhat unhappy, seeing Sect Master Wu so deflated in front of the public, he thought that he was a little unhappy, but he just snorted coldly and stepped forward by himself.
"If the old man expected, the time of the death of the three deceased was probably last night!" After some investigation, Lu Zhu Weng got up leisurely and said slowly with a blank face.
"Last night?"
There was a sound of confusion in the crowd, and Miss Mu suddenly noticed that Ye Xianglun had returned to the tent last night, could it be ......
Thinking of this, Miss Mu reflexively held Ye Xianglun's big hand.
"My two disciples are above the two-star three-lu cultivation, and they can quietly kill two two-star three-lu qin masters in the place where all the qin masters live, and their strength is at least three stars or more, let me ask, in addition to you, how many three-star qin masters are there in Dashu?"
In the face of Sect Master Wu's questioning, everyone present was speechless, and the originally soothing atmosphere became tense again.
"My iron old man leans on the old man to say a word that he doesn't like to listen to, more than ten years ago, everyone has already set the rules, although there are many rising stars during the period, but in the past ten years, no matter what grievances everyone has before, at least on this island, has always been working together. When this happened today, I, the old man Tie, was the first to tolerate it!" Under this situation, the elder surnamed Tie was the first to stand up and speak.
"I can't tolerate it, find out the murderer!"
"I can't tolerate it, find out the murderer!"
Under Tie Lao's call, everyone present shouted at the same time.
"Since there is Tie Lao in charge of justice, there are only a limited number of people on the island, so you might as well tell us what you were doing last night, or if you have clues to provide, you can say it at the same time! Then I will come first!" the well-dressed middle-aged man proposed first.
"When I was walking by the river with my disciples last night, because I have always had the habit of going to bed early, I had already fallen asleep before the morning! Sect Master Qian and his disciples who were traveling with me can testify!"
"Last night, the disciples were grilling fish by the river, and when they saw that I was not sleeping, they sent one to me, and after eating the grilled fish, it was about a good time, and I fell asleep before I got out of the tent, and there were still fish bones in the account to prove it!"
“......”
"Last night, my old illness recurred, my chest was suffocated, and I have been silently reciting the Heart Sutra given by the medical immortal in the tent, and I have never had the kung fu to pay attention to other things!"
“......”
“......”
"By the way, when I got up last night, I seemed to see three figures walking towards the top of the mountain, could it be these three deceased?"
"This clue will be shelved first, and it will be explained in detail later, and then it will be reported by Master Jiang Duo!" said the well-dressed middle-aged man presiding over the situation.
"Jiang's daughter was in a bad mood last night, and she didn't return until the end of the day, Jiang waited in the tent until her daughter returned before she slept peacefully, and Mr. Ye and others who wanted to come with him can testify!"
"Next ......"
The well-dressed middle-aged man hesitated a little when he saw that the deceased's master, Sect Master Wu and others were on the side of Lord Jiang Helm.
"Mr. Ye and I have never been out of the account, their deaths are none of our business!" Since Miss Mu was sandwiched between Master Jiang and Sect Master Wu, Miss Mu had been in a state of tension since everyone began to report, and at this moment, she thought that the other party was asking herself, so she hurriedly explained.
"This young lady is a little unfamiliar, I don't know which sect master the girl is coming with?" Seeing Miss Mu's nervous face, the middle-aged man asked more.
"I ...... I came here with Miss Jiang Liu Liujiang, if you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Jiang!" Miss Mu was not good at lying, and after being asked, she became even more nervous.
"I don't know what the girl is doing here in Xiandao?" The middle-aged man saw that the other party's expression was different, so he asked.
"I ......"
"Haha, shouldn't this gentleman be suspicious of me waiting?" Ye Xianglun saw that Miss Mu was questioned again, and it was inevitable that he would leak his mouth, so he interjected, "You know, the highest cultivation in our line is only a two-star qinist, presumably most people on the island also saw that Ye Mou came by a note disc!"
The green space of musical notes is the standard configuration of three-star pianists, and Ye Xianglun deliberately emphasized the musical note disc, which is also deliberately excluding himself as a figure outside the object of suspicion of the other party.
"Don't bother this gentleman to speak, I'm asking this young lady?" Hearing Ye Xianglun's answer, the middle-aged man's expression was obviously displeased.
"We are here to seek medical treatment in Xiandao, this friend of mine has been picked off his muscles and bones, and this trip is to heal him!" Miss Mu immediately regained her composure after feeling the temperature of Ye Xianglun's palm, although she was not good at lying, but when it was about Ye Xianglun's life and death, she knew how to behave.
As she spoke, Miss Mu helped Ye Chen to take a few steps forward, and everyone's eyes were focused, and Ye Chen was indeed crippled.
"Oh, why did the girl just look flustered, did she see some useful clues, or did she ......?"
"Mr. Xu, don't bully other little girls!" Seeing the middle-aged man asking repeatedly, he said with a white beard.
"I didn't see anything, I and Miss Jiang Liuliu were together last night, Miss Jiang can testify!" Miss Mu was no longer nervous, and became confident.
"———— Toot
The middle-aged man was about to ask questions again, but he heard the sound of a horn coming from the river in the distance.
"The ship is coming!"
"It's finally here, everyone hurry up and prepare gifts!"
After speaking, the gathered crowd dispersed in an instant, and even Sect Master Wu and Luzhu Weng also dispersed with the crowd.
After the crowd left, only Ye Xianglun and others were left in the gathering place just now.
When a boat came, he didn't even care about his own disciples! Could it be that the Nanjiang Medical Immortal was on the boat? Ye Xianglun was puzzled in his heart.
