Chapter 365: Suspected
Naturally, no one saw it.
You look at me, and I look at you, but you can't find a strong witness. Keling City has a rule that prohibits martial arts in the city, and fights outside of martial arts training are not allowed. There have been no fights in the city for nearly 100 years. But as soon as Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan came, there were people in the city. The one who died was still a golden warrior who could be called a strong man. Comparing the cultivation of the two, it is really very consistent with the murderer's conditions.
"What other witnesses do you need, you must have done it! Either you don't have an accident sooner or later, something will happen as soon as you come, my poor grandson, oh, he has no father and mother at a few years old, how can he live in the future!" Xie Fang cried and fell to the ground as he spoke, covering his chest with one hand and criing with the other hand. 120,000 points of sympathy for her.
"Old man, I am very sympathetic to your plight. But it would be too hasty for you to say that we did it. Aren't you afraid that you will wronged good people and let the real murderer go unpunished?"
Xie Fang stopped crying when he heard this, and glared at Gu Lingzhi with red and swollen eyes, "It's not wrong, you did it, my son was killed by the means of a spirit martial artist, who else has such a high level of cultivation besides you, can you use spiritual power to kill a golden martial artist?"
"You said that your son was killed by someone using the means of a spirit warrior?" Gu Lingzhi frowned, if this was the case, it would be a bit troublesome.
The golden martial artist of the martial artist is equivalent to the spirit martial artist of the Spirit Monarch Realm in the outside world, and it is affected by the environment of the lost land. The powerhouse of the Spirit Monarch Realm is already the highest cultivation that can be achieved. According to what the two of them knew yesterday, there were only three people in the entire Spirit City who had reached the Spirit Monarch Realm cultivation at present. They are Lin Zhongyuan, Chu Jiang and Cui Hao.
Needless to say, Lin Zhongyuan and Chu Jiang had no motive to commit the crime at all. And that Cui Hao is still on a mission outside the Spirit City, he is not in the city at all, let alone a murderer, so the remaining murderers are naturally Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan. Not to mention that if you want to kill the Golden Martial Artist quietly, in a place like the Lost Land, it is still a little difficult to cultivate with the Spirit Monarch Realm.
"What's the matter? There's nothing to say, right? Why don't you go with us to the city lord to confess your guilt?" Yang Pengyu seized the opportunity and immediately shouted angrily. When the people around heard this, they roared in unison.
Just when the crowd gathered outside the courtyard was excited and wanted to use a strong method to get the two of them to the City Lord's Mansion, Wei Lingshu's voice came from outside the crowd, "What are you doing here?"
Hearing this voice, a group of people who were so excited that they suddenly found the backbone of the main body, made a way for Wei Lingshu to come in from the middle, and said gossipingly: "Lord Wei Helm, you came just in time, quickly catch these two murderers and avenge Xinyu!"
"Revenge?" Wei Lingshu grabbed the keyword, "What revenge? The two elders only arrived in Lingcheng yesterday, how could they kill someone?"
After listening to Wei Lingshu's words, Xie Fang, with the support of Yang Pengyu, told the story of what he found this morning with a handful of snot and tears.
It turned out that the old man lived with his two sons and daughter-in-law. Yang Pengyu is her eldest son, and it was her youngest son Yang Xinyu's family who had an accident. Just this morning, when the family was about to have breakfast, the youngest son's family had not woken up, so Yang Pengyu, as the elder brother, knocked on his brother's door, but received no response. There was a faint smell of blood wafting from the room.
Yang Pengyu, who sensed that something was wrong, immediately used brute force to smash the door, but what caught his eye was the tragic death of his younger brother's family.
I saw a big hole in the chest of my younger brother, who was a golden warrior, and the scarlet blood flowed all over the ground, but all the internal organs in the abdomen were gone. The top of his head was also brutally knocked open. A few dots of red and white * paste on the face. Not far away, his wife and six-year-old son were also eviscerated and fell to the ground in the same way, with terrified expressions on their faces. The whole picture is brutal. Xie Fang, who had been waiting for less than two sons to come over for a long time, screamed and fainted when he saw this.
Yang Pengyu, who was too stimulated, reacted and hurriedly woke up Xie Fang. After Xie Fang woke up, the mother and son hugged their heads and cried for a while, and then targeted the suspicion on Gu Lingzhi and the others who came back with Wei Lingshu and the others.
"So, you didn't see that the perpetrators were two elders?" Wei Lingshu said with a sigh of relief.
To be honest, when the courtyard was fenced off, he noticed the situation here. I also guessed the general situation of the matter from the shouting and scolding of these people. Although I don't believe that the two of them will do it. But in the face of so many people's condemnation, he is also a little unsure. Now that they know that they didn't see the two of them murder with their own eyes, everything is just their speculation, and they are really relieved. Along the way, he had long regarded Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan as friends, and if they really did it, he would have been quite devastated.
Sensing that Wei Lingshu seemed to be intent on exculpating the two of them, Yang Pengyu immediately became alert, "Although we haven't seen them commit murder with our own eyes, who in the entire Spirit City can kill a golden martial artist with spiritual power, and still quietly? The murderers must be them!"
Rong Yuan sneered when he heard this: "If we did it, would we use such an easy way to expose our identities?"
Yang Pengyu was speechless for a while. Yes, is it necessary for Rong Yuan and the others to kill people in such a way that they can see through at a glance? and it was on the first day of arriving in Lingcheng.
After a moment of silence, one of the people in the crowd questioned: "Perhaps, you chose to kill people in this way by taking advantage of everyone's psychology." ”
"Yes, yes, that's it!" Yang Pengyu, who was shaken by Rong Yuan's words for a moment, hurriedly echoed, "Who knows if you did this on purpose?"
"Oh?" Rong Yuan glanced coldly at the man who spoke, and after the man shrank back half a step, he asked rhetorically, "Then what about the purpose of our killing?"
"This ...... Who knows?" Yang Pengyu was frightened by the momentum that suddenly emanated from Rong Yuan's body, and his attitude was no longer as tough as before.
"Anyway, only the two of you in the city have the strength to do such a thing, isn't it who you are?"
Rong Yuan sneered: "In this way, isn't the Wei Duo Lord beside you also suspicious?"
"No way, my brother was ......"
"Is it right to kill with spiritual power?" Rong Yuan interrupted him and said coldly: "Just because there is escaping spiritual power in the house, it doesn't prove that your brother is the one who was killed by someone with spiritual power, and it is also possible that he was killed by force, and then made the illusion of attacking with spiritual power." As long as it is a martial artist with spiritual power above gold cultivated in the city, it can do it. ”
"Don't listen to his quibbles!" Xie Fang said sadly: "Whether you did it or not, the city lord will find out." Or are you afraid to go, so you do everything you can to shirk here?"
Rong Yuan didn't want to entangle with this group of people anymore, anyway, he was going to the City Lord's Mansion anyway, so he simply responded: "Then let's go." "I hope that cold-faced and strict city lord won't be as arbitrary as this group of people.
Hearing Rong Yuan's promise, the emotions of a group of people were finally not as excited as before, and the faces of several of them even showed expressions such as revenge and relief.
Seeing this, Wei Lingshu came to Rong Yuan's side and comforted him, "Don't worry, the city lord is wise and wise, and he will never wronged you." ”
Rong Yuan: "......" Does he still want to say thank you and return my innocence?
A group of people came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion in a majestic manner, making the people who had come here in advance to participate in the spiritual ceremony look sideways. Well-informed, he has already exchanged heads and ears with people he knows next to him, pointing at this side. Rong Yuan and Gu Lingzhi did not squint, and under the eyes of a group of people who were either suspicious or hateful, they calmly entered the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The little guy guarding the door had already heard the movement of the courtyard next door, and he didn't even report it, so he let him go directly. The group made their way to the open space in front of the hall unimpeded. Lin Xiao waited there with a solemn face, and greeted a few people: "The city lord let the two elders and the family members of the deceased go in, and the others just wait outside." ”
Rong Yuan was clear, it seemed that Lin Zhongyuan had also heard the movement over there.
Entering the hall, Lin Zhongyuan was still sitting on the main seat as he saw yesterday, with a solemn and rigorous face. It was Chu Jiang who greeted them. Politely asked how the two of them had rested last night, and then turned the conversation to what happened in the morning. Facing Yang Pengyu and Xie Fang, who were full of sadness, he said, "Your situation, I and the city lord have already learned about it. But without seeing the murderer, he suspected that the guests of our Spirit City were not good. Later, I will send someone and the two elders to your house to investigate the situation, and strive to find the real culprit as soon as possible, I wonder what the two elders think?"
This last sentence was asked to Gu Lingzhi and the others. Chu Jiang was able to say such a decision, obviously he did not doubt their intentions, and of course the two of them had no objection. Immediately, the group went to the place where the incident occurred - Yang Pengyu's home.
When he saw the three corpses lying on the ground, with a terrible and miserable appearance, Gu Ling's displeasure against Yang Pengyu's family's suspicion of them dissipated. To put it another way, if this happened to her family, she didn't seem to react much. Gu Rong's family of three had already exhausted the little longing for family affection in her heart. Even when she saw them strewn across the streets, she wouldn't feel too much of a touch.
Sensing that he had some cold thoughts, Gu Lingzhi smiled self-deprecatingly, but found that Rong Yuan was in front of her at some point, starry eyes looked at her worriedly, his hands were also pressed on the other party's big hands, and a gentle voice sounded in his ears, "Don't look at it, just leave it to me." ”
Gu Lingzhi looked at the other party's distressed appearance and suddenly smiled.
What if you don't get family affection? She still has him. He will be the most important family member in her life.
