Chapter 186: The Murderer Behind It
Hao Yun directly interrogated Zhao Zihao, the vice president who had never been able to meet, and he didn't expect that the first time they met was in the interrogation room of the inspection branch.
Zhao Zihao, as the senior vice president of the Southern Branch, is also one of the earliest founders, and also the person with the highest realm in the entire Southern Branch. In all respects, Zhao Zihao should be the president of the Southern Branch, rather than the vice president of the district.
Hao Yun looked at the white-bearded Zhao Zihao, and felt Zhao Zihao's grievances and anger, as long as he got out of the prison of the inspection branch, he would be sealed according to the regulations.
"President Zhao, I am offended, and I am Hao Yun from the Supervision Brigade below, please bear with me when we meet for the first time. "Hao Yun behaved very politely.
"I've heard of you, and President Di has recommended you a lot, and you are indeed a talent. "Zhao Zihao is also very good at talking, after all, he has been working in this vice president position for many years.
"The last time I came to the Southern Branch, I wanted to meet you, but unfortunately President Zhao was in retreat at that time, and I missed it all of a sudden. When I saw it this time, I realized that President Zhao was the backbone of the Southern Branch. Although Senior Brother Di is the president, his qualifications and experience are not enough to support such a large branch, and I believe that without the strong support of President Zhao, Senior Brother Di would not be able to study the earth fire wholeheartedly. "Hao Yun is very smart, although he raised the position of President Zhao in his words, but Hao Yun realized that Zhao Zihao, as a veteran of the Southern Branch, is stronger than Di Qing in terms of strength and ability, and Di Qing, as the president of the airborne, would not have been so smooth sailing if he had not received the support of the veteran.
Sure enough, Hao Yun's words made Zhao Zihao impressed, Zhao Zihao is indeed a person from Di Qing's lineage, and Di Qing was also selected by their line as a candidate for the next president of the Instrumentainist Federation;
"Lord Hao has good eyesight, worthy of being the top genius in the spirit world, you are probably in your twenties, I think that when I was so old as you, I was still in the foundation building period, I didn't expect that you have cultivated in just a few years, and you have become a cultivator in the infancy stage, the future is terrifying, President Di is already a genius in my eyes, compared to you, there is still a big gap!" Zhao Zihao looked at Hao Yun in his prime, and felt disheartened.
"Thank you President Zhao for the compliment, you can call me Xiao Hao, there are a few questions below, I would like to ask President Zhao to answer. Hao Yun narrowed the distance through language and began to ask formal questions.
"If you have any questions, just ask them, as long as I know, I will answer them truthfully. Zhao Zihao's mood was a little soothed, and Hao Yun's respect made him regain some self-confidence.
Hao Yun's first question was about Lao Yi, at that time Di Qing was suspicious of Lao Yi, so he asked Zhao Zihao to investigate, but unfortunately Di Qing is now unconscious, so this question can only be asked to Zhao Zihao. Zhao Zihao did not hide it, and directly said the answer, Vermilion Bird City has never had a Lao family, although Lao Yi is a local, in fact, the place where he used to live is far away from the current Southern Branch, that is to say, there is no evidence that Lao Yi and the Southern Branch have enmity;
Hao Yun was quite satisfied with this answer, because he had already been mentally prepared, if Lao Yi was a smiling goblin, his information must be flawless. Hao Yun's second question, what is Chairman Zhao's opinion on the sudden change in the intensity of the earth fire? Zhao Zihao has been out of the customs several times, all because he noticed that the earth fire has changed, and because Zhao Zihao assisted Di Qing, he usually pays great attention to the earth fire, and will report to Di Qing if there is any trouble. These two sudden changes in the strength and weakness of the earth fire are also situations that Zhao Zihao has rarely encountered for many years. Hao Yun's question made Zhao Zihao fall into contemplation, Zhao Zihao is in retreat all year round, and he is also quite familiar with the earth fire, unlike other flames, the earth fire will attract a large amount of fire spiritual power, and these spiritual powers are full of activity, when cultivators use these spiritual powers to cultivate, they can not only enhance their spiritual power value, but also use these activities to improve their divine consciousness, the higher the strength of the earth fire, the stronger the activity of the spiritual power.
Zhao Zihao thought for a long time before slowly answering Hao Yun's question, he thought that in the past, the earth fire had a normal cycle, but before the last time it suddenly became stronger, the earth fire had always maintained a weak situation, and there was no cycle like before. Zhao Zihao felt that the earth fire had fallen into a low ebb period, and the sudden increase in strength may have been a stimulus given by the outside world, which caused the earth fire to have an outbreak. And this sudden weakening should also be a stimulus from the outside world.
According to Zhao Zihao, after Hao Yun made a comparison, he already knew it in his heart, it seemed that after the murderer jumped under the forging table, the earth fire became weaker, according to Di Qing's judgment before, if the murderer was a normal cultivator, he should have a Yuan Ying or Jin Dan, which should stimulate the earth fire to become stronger, and this time it was the opposite, not only did it not become stronger, but it became weaker. Hao Yun had a bold guess that this murderer was an incarnation at all, and the reason why he became weak was also because the murder weapon used by the murderer contained a strange poison of sleepiness, and this strange poison of sleepiness also played an effect on the earthfire.
Hao Yun's last question was about the retreat place, what he wanted to ask was, when was this retreat place established, and who built it? Zhao Zihao's answer also made Hao Yun feel at ease, sure enough, this retreat place was not made by the Instrumentalists Federation, after they bought this land, when they were building the Southern Branch, they accidentally discovered that there was a passage underground, and after digging it, they found that they went all the way down to this retreat room.
Hao Yun could basically determine that this land fire still had a place of retreat, and it was very likely that it was part of the fairy ruins. It is likely that the Smiley Elf is monitoring the Southern Chapter in order to hide the elven ruins. Due to Di Qing's research progress, it may be possible for the secrets of the earth fire to be passed on, thus exposing the ruins. So the purpose of this series of events is to kill Di Qing, and the murderer behind the scenes, Hao Yun already has a candidate, but he can't figure out why he did it?
After sending Zhao Zihao away, Hao Yun asked for Lao Yi to be interrogated, and when Lao Yi came, Hao Yun didn't ask him any questions at all, and directly activated the magic power of the magic pill and entered Lao Yi's subconscious, and soon Hao Yun got the memory he needed, and sent Lao Yi back.
Hao Yun looked at the ragged back of the labor, and sighed in his heart: "He is also a poor person, who is used without knowing it." Hao Yun searched through the subconscious of Lao Yi, and found that this Lao Yi was also a hard-working man, and he was also a well-known instrument master in Vermilion Bird City back then, but at that time, Vermilion Bird City was still relatively small, and the Southern Branch was not established. Later, after the establishment of the Southern Branch, he also joined the Southern Branch for the first time, and in the early days, he was also valued by the Southern Branch, but due to limited talent, he finally fell to the margins. In this incident, he was completely one of the pawns, and he was full of joy that he could get the opportunity to learn from Di Qing through Mithril, so that his level of instrument master could be taken to the next level. This piece of Mithril is indeed his own, and it has nothing to do with the Feng family, which also proves that the conversation that Feng Zige heard was also deliberately set up by someone.
Hao Yun sighed: "Lao Yi, Feng Zige, Zheng surnamed Youshang, and the whole Feng family are all poor chess pieces, and all the purposes are to frame Di Qing. When Di Qing failed to frame him, the opponent continued to make a move, this time he was even more ruthless, he actually wanted to kill two birds with one stone, killing Di Qing and Zhao Zihao all, what did this Vice President Li Feng Li want to do? Isn't he afraid of being exposed?"
The reason why Hao Yun is very puzzled now is why Li Feng framed Zhao Zihao? This is a very big loophole, otherwise Hao Yun would not have thought that Li Feng had a problem. This is a very simple deduction, the Southern Branch has a total of one president, two vice presidents, if something happens to the president, the other president is a suspect, and the real beneficiary in the end is only the only remaining vice president, that is, Li Feng. Hao Yun still has a good impression of Li Feng, Li Feng has always shown great enthusiasm, and it can be said that he has always cooperated very well; even said that without Li Feng, Hao Yun would not have discovered the secret of Earth Fire, and of course there was no way to exonerate Di Qing. However, Li Feng showed his loyalty to Di Qing on the one hand, and assassinated Di Qing on the other hand, which was a very unreasonable behavior, if so, he had no need to help Di Qing get rid of his guilt.
If Hao Yun now identifies Li Feng, there is still a problem to solve, that is, how to prove that the assassin is the incarnation of Li Feng, since the assassin has been buried in the fire, all evidence has been destroyed. Without evidence and indiscriminate evidence, Li Fenggou can only jump off the wall in a hurry. Unless you can take it down directly and search for the soul, but when you think that Li Feng is very likely to be a smiling goblin, the soul search is likely to not get the desired result, and the most likely outcome is that Li Feng explodes himself.
When Hao Yun was still meditating in the interrogation room, Wu Kaiwen walked in and shouted at Hao Yun: "What is the result? You didn't come out of the interrogation room for half a day, and we were all in a hurry." ”
After Hao Yun saw Wu Kaiwen, he thought for a moment and decided to tell Wu Kaiwen about his troubles, how to take down Li Feng and let Li Feng explain what the conspiracy of the smiley goblin was?
When Wu Kaiwen heard the name Li Feng, his eyes lit up, he was surprised and delighted, and asked urgently: "Senior Brother Hao is really powerful, how did you determine the murderer? If Li Feng is really a smiling goblin, we have made a great contribution this time." ”
