Chapter 61: The Assassination of the Mentor
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Ling Chen wanted to fall asleep. But a strong smell of blood filled his nostrils, which lifted his spirits. The sensitivity to blood that he had cultivated in the Eternal Demon Forbidden, Ling Chen instantly sobered up.
Ling Chen quickly swept through the dormitory, and immediately locked the source on Lu Hongkai's right hand. At this time, Lu Hongkai's right hand had been wrapped in layers of gauze, but a red blood stain could still be seen.
"Why did you come back so late?" Wang Qingyun asked with concern. It stands to reason that Ling Chen should come back before Wang Qingyun, but now that a long time has passed, Ling Chen walked back with Shi Shiran.
Ling Chen didn't answer Wang Qingyun's words, but asked Lu Hongkai, "What's wrong with your hand?"
"It's cheap. Lu Hongkai didn't speak with a bitter face, but Wang Qingyun explained.
Ping Leyi brought a spirit sword, and Lu Hongkai said that he wanted to have long eyes, but he was handsome and almost didn't take off his arm. ”
Ling Chen looked at Ping Leyi when he heard this, and Ping Leyi sighed, obviously regretting it, after all, this accident also had something to do with him. That spirit sword was by Ping Leyi's side, and it was obviously the culprit.
"Originally, I brought this sword just in case, after all, the last time I heard from others, they used spiritual weapons. I'm also using it for self-defense. But who would have thought that Lu Hongkai wouldn't know how to use a sword..."
Ling Chen sighed: "You can't save snacks every day..."
After saying that, he didn't plan to wash up, and went straight to the bed.
"Have you eaten?" Seeing Ling Chen's appearance, Wang Qingyun was a little confused, thinking that there was something to worry about. But since he didn't say it, forget it.
"After eating, you don't have to worry about me, I'm asleep. After Ling Chen finished speaking, there was no sound.
"This kid...," Wang Qingyun scolded, "It's good that I ate his share in advance, otherwise it would have been wasted." ”
Maybe he was really tired, so Ling Chen fell asleep. In the end, Wang Qingyun helped him take off his shoes and put him on the bed smoothly.
Nothing was said all night.
On the second day, Ling Chen went to morning class as usual. However, what is a little surprising today is that Tutor Haoyuan has been waiting for everyone in the classroom early.
Generally speaking, it is rare for a tutor to come to the home so actively to urge the students to attend the morning class. But since the tutor is here, I obediently took out the books for so long to read and study hard.
In a short time, the students have already arrived, and the rest of the people who have not arrived are estimated to not be here today. However, Tutor Haoyuan didn't pursue anything, late arrival and early departure, there are often things, everyone comes from the students. But today is different, the tutor ordered the people in the same dormitory to bring people in, otherwise they will be expelled directly.
With the shock of this sentence, everyone believed that something must have happened, so they called people one after another. This is a pain for those who steal chickens and dogs, and I guess I don't know where they are at this time.
Finally, Mentor Haoyuan announced a shocking news: "Mentor Qian Guangtao has been assassinated. ”
This sentence was like a thunderous explosion, and the students were silent. The Mentor died, was assassinated, and this was unheard of at the Eastern Saint Academy. Who was so bold as to challenge the authority of the Academy?
What was left for the students was horror, and then Hao Haoyuan announced a few things:
"1. The academy and Linyang City have been completely blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will; 2. The city lord's mansion has set up a special task force to investigate, and no one must cooperate and must not obstruct law enforcement; 3. A curfew is imposed at night, from midnight to midnight, and no wandering around is allowed during this time; 4. All extracurricular activities are stopped, the martial arts arena is closed, and all students are not allowed to compete privately; 5. The course is as usual, and the students travel together as much as possible, and report to the supervision envoy immediately if they encounter suspicious persons; if the above behavior is violated, they will be expelled directly. ”
The ban was soon brought down, in response to the accident. Ling Chen was flustered in his heart, he was indeed flustered, because he had seen Mentor Qian Guangtao yesterday. But this was not the reason for the panic, but Wang Qingyun stole Tutor Qian Guangtao's Qiankun bag and then blamed Zhu Liyan! He saw all this.
At this time, he suddenly recalled the incident he was going to tell Wang Qingyun last night, but because of a series of problems, he forgot about it. But it should be too late now, I have to tell Wang Qingyun quickly, and let him think about whether he will find out if he will find out.
After the morning class was over, Ling Chen hurriedly ran to Wang Qingyun's classroom. Along the way, he could see the voice of the Overseer at intervals. It seems that the death of the mentor did have a very bad effect.
Coming to the door of Wang Qingyun's classroom, Ling Chen took a few deep breaths to calm his anxious mood. Subsequently, he casually called Wang Qingyun out. At that time, Wang Qingyun was talking to a few students about something, and it seemed that it was relatively relaxed, and Ling Chen's heart was slightly lighter when he saw this.
"What's the matter?" Wang Qingyun was very curious, because many times it was Wang Qingyun who took the initiative to find Ling Chen, but Ling Chen rarely came to him.
"Let's go, go to the bathroom. Ling Chen couldn't help Wang Qingyun refuse, and pulled him to the toilet in the corner downstairs.
"Uh... I didn't pee..."Wang Qingyun was about to refuse, but found Ling Chen's extremely serious expression, and in a moment of slight hesitation, Wang Qingyun hugged Ling Chen's shoulder with his backhand, and followed with a smile.
When he came to the public toilet downstairs, Ling Chen quickly took a look around and found that no one was relieved. He pulled Wang Qingyun into the toilet and closed the door again.
"Why are you so cautious?" Wang Qingyun was also taken aback by Ling Chen's appearance, so he asked in a low voice.
Ling Chen was still not at ease, and released his spiritual power to form a cover, isolating the conversation between the two, and then he said, "Mentor Qian Guangtao is dead." ”
"I know. Wang Qingyun nodded, "It's really terrifying, there will be a tutor in the academy who will be killed." ”
"The Qiankun bag you stole yesterday is his. ”
"I see. Wang Qingyun nodded, with a feeling of sudden realization. But the next moment, he suddenly turned his head to stare at Ling Chen, his eyes as big as copper bells.
"Are you serious?" Wang Qingyun looked at Ling Chen in disbelief.
"Of course it's true! I was going to tell you last night, but I didn't expect that when I woke up in the morning, he would actually die!"
Wang Qingyun gasped, and at the same time desperately recalled the scenes at that time in his mind. Instead, he put his hands around Ling Chen's shoulders and said, "Chenzi, you must not tell anyone about this matter." Let me think about the countermeasures first, I believe that there is no handle to fall, so don't be afraid. The death of the guru has nothing to do with us, just remember that. After all, he is the mentor of the outer court, and he should not be able to find out from the inner court, and we will talk about the rest later. ”
"Wait!" Wang Qingyun, who was about to leave, suddenly thought of something again, "Do you know that Mentor Qian Guangtao?"
"I know, I was taken to Xing Lisi before, and he also came forward to bail me out. I saw him yesterday evening. Ling Chen replied truthfully.
Wang Qingyun nodded.
"Chenzi, I speculate that you may be interrogated, so be natural and just tell the truth. You'd better forget about the bag as if you didn't know anything. I'm afraid they'll connect these two things, so you should prepare in advance. But I trust you, the dust has always been very strong. Be flexible and don't make them suspicious. ”
"Don't worry, there won't be a problem. Ling Chen also nodded. When he was locked up in Xing Lisi before, Ling Chen didn't show timidity in the face of Xu Chengying alone, but now it's just a question looking for a needle in a haystack, so why be afraid.
Immediately, the two of them went back to class as if they had never seen each other.
Although the investigation is in full swing, most of the students are still the same as they used to be, what should they do. It's just that all of a sudden, a few more prohibitions have become a topic of conversation in everyone's leisure.
And some people began to pull out the personal privacy of this Qian Guangtao mentor, after all, there is no privacy for the dead. As a result, some filthy remarks that were not just rumors or came from somewhere began to circulate quietly in the academy.
"It is said that this tutor and so-and-so female student have broken shoes..."
"This Qian Guangtao, gambling addiction, ouch, foreign debts are even more numerous! Hehe, I have seen this mentor in the casino..."
It's really terrifying, and there are all kinds of versions that only you can't think of, and no one can't make them up.
But in any case, this needle-in-a-haystack investigation is finally making progress. A student from the outer courtyard held a warrant from Qian Guangtao's tutor to transfer tens of thousands of dollars, and was arrested in Huafang the next day. That person was Zhu Liyan.
