Chapter 662: The Man Behind the Scenes
Because that village was in the territory under the jurisdiction of Lingyun Pavilion, so many lives were lost at once, and Lingyun Pavilion couldn't sit idly by. The person in charge of this matter in Lingyun Pavilion responded very happily, but asked Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling to go back to rest first, indicating that there was a situation and then notify them.
Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling didn't refuse, after all, this matter was related to Lingyun Pavilion's reign in the Xuan Realm, and they would definitely treat this matter cautiously, instead of being hastily perfunctory and prevaricating. In addition, after going through so much, he and Zhao Yunling were indeed tired, so the two of them went back to their shop first and had a good rest.
They thought it would be about two or three days before there was news, but they didn't expect it. Lingyun Pavilion attached great importance to this matter, and the next day, a disciple of Lingyun Pavilion came to their shop to look for them.
"Mr. Rong, Mrs. Rong, we have investigated some of the things you said earlier, but there are still some doubts that need to be asked of you, and I hope you can answer truthfully." The person who came was wearing a crescent moon white Lingyun Pavilion disciple uniform, and made a gesture towards Zhao Yunling and the others.
Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan naturally returned the salute, "If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, we will definitely answer them truthfully." ”
The person who came nodded and said, "I want to ask, how many people were in your group when you went, and were there any fewer later?" Is it the advanced village or the mountain that goes up first? ”
"When we went and when we came, there were four people, and we only went up the mountain from the advanced village. What's wrong? Zhao Yunling asked a little strangely, she didn't expect the other party to ask her these meaningless-sounding questions.
The man shook his head, "It's okay, just to confirm." Then I want to ask you if there were any strange things that happened to you at that time? Or have you noticed that someone around you has become particularly strange? ”
As soon as he talked about strange things, Zhao Yunling remembered the ghost hitting the wall that night. Zhao Yunling is a night vision ability. Very good people, plus during this time, there are so many spiritual grasses around them, and the night market ability has become even better. On weekdays, she relies on her own ability at night. It would be a problem to have the whole mountain come across, and it would never be such a strange situation.
The appearance of the ghost hitting the wall that night was so deliberate that even Qi Qi couldn't crack it, as if someone was deliberately trying to stop them.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yunling put himself. I woke up in the middle of the night and found that I had changed positions, and I encountered a ghost hitting the wall again, and then I met Qi Qi and told the truth one by one. By the way, he also talked about his feelings.
"Ma'am, these things happened by such a coincidence, didn't they? In fact, it is not a coincidence, but a game deliberately arranged by someone, and this person is likely to be one of your companions. This is what we investigated, and at first we were not sure, but now we have asked Madame again, and we dare to be sure. The man said firmly.
Zhao Yunling was a little incredulous.
In her eyes, Qi Qi and Qi Jiu are very good friends, but except for Rong Yan, she only has these two people to suspect, she can't believe that one of them can do such a cruel thing, and she can't imagine what they all say about this matter.
Just when Zhao Yunling was in a trance, Qi Jiu came.
"Sister Yun Ling, what's wrong with you?" Qi Jiu saw it. Zhao Yunling was a little wrong, and couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Yunling shook his head and said, "I'm fine, why are you here?" ”
Hearing this, Qi Jiu stretched out his head and poked outside the store, and only after seeing that there were no suspicious people did he return to Zhao Yunling's side.
"Sister Yun Ling, I came to you to ask. Those villagers' affairs, did Lingyun Pavilion send someone to take care of them? Qi Jiu looked at Zhao Yunling and asked.
Hearing Qi Jiu's question, Zhao Yunling looked at Qi Jiu with some hesitation.
Although Qi Jiu has always been a simple and lovely girl in Zhao Yunling's eyes, Lingyun Pavilion has no reason to lie to her, it is still a matter of so many lives.
Qi Jiu is also one of the suspects no matter what she says, she would rather believe it than believe it, she can't be innocent at this time, so she told Qi Jiu what Brother Lin's disciple said just now.
"What were you looking at when you just went out?" Zhao Yunling changed the subject.
Qi Jiu stuck out his tongue at Zhao Yunling, "Sister Yunling, in fact, I came to you secretly. My brother has not allowed me to get involved in this matter, but I have seen it all, how can I not remember, not think. I was just looking at my brother. Did you send someone to follow me secretly, it should be fine now. ”
Qi Jiu's expression. Sincere and sincere, so that Zhao Yunling had no way to continue to doubt her, so Zhao Yunling said, "Qi Jiu, can I trust you?" ”
"Absolutely. Sister Yun Ling, why are you so weird today? Qi Jiu asked a little strangely.
Zhao Yunling sighed deeply, "Okay then, I hope you don't lie to me." In fact, the disciple of Lingyun Pavilion had just come, and he told me that it was one of the four of us who went to kill those villagers, and the rest of us were all in his game. ”
Qi Jiu couldn't help but take a step back when he heard this, his eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, this action that looked so cute on weekdays was very obvious to Qi Jiu's horror at this time.
"How...... How so? "Qi Jiu and Zhao Yunling are the same, unbelievable." They must have made a mistake. How could anyone among us possibly do such a thing? ”
Zhao Yunling shook his head, "I don't know, but I really can't think of a reason for Lingyun Pavilion to lie to me." ”
"Forget it, don't talk about this, Lingyun Pavilion and they will definitely deal with it. It occurred to me that I still had homework to do. If I go back late and my brother finds out, he will definitely come and ask me. Sister Yun Ling, then I'll go first. Qi Jiu said, waved his hand at Zhao Yunling casually, and left in a hurry.
Although Zhao Yunling was a little strange, he didn't delve into it. 49 eBooks
Speaking of which, Qi Jiu's reaction to him when he heard the news was extremely similar, and there was no possibility of deceiving her. Moreover, out of selfishness, Zhao Yunling was still willing to believe Qi Jiu.
Qi Jiu hurriedly ran back to the Qi Mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the study where Qi Qi was.
"Didn't I tell you that you had to knock on the door when you entered the study?" Qi Qi heard the "bang" of the door being suddenly opened, and couldn't help frowning, looking at Qi Jiu who made this move, but saw Qi Jiu's face of despair.
"Ah Jiu, what's wrong with you?" Qi Qi's tone softened a little and asked.
Qi Jiu ran directly to his desk, ignoring the ink on the table, grabbed Qi Qi's clothes and asked, "Brother, you tell me the truth, is the killing of those villagers related to you?" ”
"What are you asking about this all of a sudden?" Qi Qi asked Qi Jiu rhetorically, the expression on his face was as usual, without a trace of panic.
"Brother, I just want you to answer me, does it have anything to do with you? Isn't it! Qi Jiu continued to ask unwillingly.
Qi Qi saw that Qi Jiu would not be willing to ask the answer, so he said, "So what?" ”
"Brother, how can you do such a thing? Did the villagers do something wrong? Qi Jiu's tears flowed all over his face, and he fell to the ground in disbelief.
"Didn't you ask me when you already knew?" Qi Qi still had a cold face.
Qi Jiu would just keep shaking his head, "No, I'm not, I just can't believe it, I want to hear a negative answer from my brother's mouth, but I didn't think ......"
"Ah Jiu, brother didn't do anything wrong, you also have to remember that you are my sister, you know?" Qi Qi looked at Qi Jiu and said.
Qi Jiu ran out of the study as if fleeing and returned to his room.
A few days later, the disciples of Lingyun Pavilion came to the door again and wanted to ask Rong Yan about what he had encountered on the mountain at that time.
At that time, although Rong Yan was the first Qi Jiu he met, Zhao Yunling was gone at that time, and his heart was hanging on Zhao Yunling's body, so how could he remember what happened at that time.
Qi Jiu happened to be in the store at this time, and Rong Yan asked Zhao Yunling to call her out and ask her about the situation at that time.
Qi Jiu was fine, but when he saw the disciples of Lingyun Pavilion, his whole body began to tremble slightly, and he held back for a long time, and finally only said, "I don't remember either." ”
"Think again." Zhao Yunling said softly.
Qi Jiu trembled even more, and unconsciously bit his lip, "I...... I really can't remember. ”
Zhao Yunling saw Qi Jiu's strange appearance, so he didn't ask any more questions, and took Qi Jiu to a room where no one was.
Qi Jiu didn't react for a while because she was hiding things in her heart, but when she just reacted and wanted to run, she was stopped by Zhao Yunling.
"Ah Jiu, why did you tremble so much before, was there something uncomfortable?" Zhao Yunling said, pouring a cup of hot tea into Qi Jiu's hand.
Qi Jiu took it, but he only held the quilt and didn't dare to drink tea for a long time, "I'm fine, I may be too tired to do this." ”
"Ah Jiu, you're lying. Do you remember the events of that day clearly, what happened? Why are you reluctant to tell the truth? Zhao Yunling looked at Qi Jiu steadily.
Qi Jiu couldn't bear Zhao Yunling's gaze, and actually cried out at once, "Sister Yunling, I'll tell you, don't ask again, okay?" ”
Zhao Yunling was a little surprised by Qi Jiu's reaction, and even more at a loss, so he had to pat him on the back comfortingly, "Say it, I won't force you."
"When I came back from your shop that day, I asked my brother, and he admitted that he had killed all the villagers. I can't accept it, but he's my brother after all,......" Qi Jiu said, but he couldn't cry anymore.
When Zhao Yunling heard this, he said, "Ah Jiu, is it because he is your brother that you want to let him do such a thing?" ”
"I don't want to, but ......" Qi Jiu stopped talking.
Zhao Yunling got up, "Ah Jiu, I want to see your brother." ”
Qi Jiu looked at Zhao Yunling for a long time, but he was still a little hesitant.
