The guard on duty in the Sword Hall was accused of premeditated murder.

And then you have to interrogate yourself in public.

When such a thing spread, the entire Tianhang City was boiling, and many people came to the Sword Hall to see the excitement, blocking the gate of the entire Sword Hall.

"You said you saw Zhu Renzhao walk into the Sword Hall the night before yesterday? And then when I see him the next day, he's already a corpse, right? Lu Haocun took a deep breath, he knew that things had reached such a point, and there was no way to calm things down, he looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked.

"Yes." Chu Qingxiao said.

"But I was in the Sword Hall the night before yesterday, why have I never seen it?" Lu Haocun asked rhetorically.

"Because you lied." Chu Qingxiao said calmly.

When Lu Haocun heard this, he secretly felt funny: "Young man, you don't think that you can be convicted by relying on your sentence that I lied, right?" If you want to prove this, you have to have either human evidence or physical evidence. ”

"There is indeed no physical evidence, but the human evidence is in the Sword Hall!" Chu Qingxiao said.

"If Lord Lu has a clear conscience, then let all the disciples in the Sword Holding Hall come out, let me inquire one by one, someone must have seen Zhu Renzhao."

Lu Haocun sneered in his heart, the Sword Hall is rotated every month, and at the same time, the disciples who work under the door will also rotate, and he will be on duty this month, so they are all disciples of Ganquanfeng who come to assist him in doing things, he has already had a relationship, and these disciples will never betray themselves for an outsider.

Originally, when he saw Chu Qingxiao coming menacingly, he thought that this young man had some evidence in his hand, so he was cautious, but after several interrogations, except for his own repeated claims that he had seen Zhu Renzhao come to the Sword Execution Hall, he could no longer produce any other evidence, which made Lu Hao settle down, and regarded Chu Qingxiao as the kind of stunned young man who did not understand the world.

"The Sword Hall is responsible for the affairs of the entire Tianhang City, and it will affect the operation of the Tianhang City, young man, you are now supported by Lu Zhen, I have to rely on you, but you have to think clearly, if you can't find out anything by then, Tianhang Mountain will blame it, and Lu Zhenshou will have a little uncle to protect you, and you will have no one to protect you!"

"Out of kindness, I advise you to stop now, otherwise you will ruin your future when the time comes, and there will be others who will hold grudges against you and find you trouble."

Lu Haocun whispered, his words full of threat.

When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he just smiled faintly: "Lord Lu, human life is at stake, let's do it." ”

"Obsessed!!" Lu Haocun snorted coldly, and immediately looked behind him, and the disciples behind him hurried to the Sword Holding Hall at this time, and within a moment, more than 100 disciples in the mansion came to the front of the mansion at this time.

"All the disciples in my Sword Hall are here, little brother, do you want to ask them one by one, or do you want everyone to ask together!" Lu Haocun looked at Chu Qingxiao and said, his tone was dry and arrogant and mocking.

Chu Qingxiao didn't pay attention to the ridicule in Lu Haocun's words, but turned his head to look at those disciples, his eyes swept over them one by one.

"I thought about it, Lord Lu is right, there is no need to work so hard in this matter, so let's just choose a few senior brothers to inquire, and the rest should go back to the mansion first, and it is important to do the right thing." Chu Qingxiao said with a smile.

These words made Lu Haocun stunned.

Although this Chu Qingxiao is stupid in his opinion, the strength he showed before to tear his face with him is still a little jealous.

Lu Haocun has seen a lot of such people, although most of them ended up miserable, but I have to say that being targeted by such a person is not a very good experience for the parties involved.

At this moment, Chu Qingxiao suddenly changed his tone, which made Lu Haocun a little unexpected.

But after thinking about it for a moment, I took it for granted, probably because Chu Qingxiao also realized that he had no evidence that could threaten Lu Haocun at all.

Thinking of Lu Haocun here, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart: "I reminded you before, but you insisted on letting the disciples of the Sword Holding Hall come out, and now you feel that it is inappropriate, little brother, there are not so many regret pills in this world." ”

"Then since you have lost your way, you can find a few you want to inquire about."

He sneered like this, and in his heart, he could probably foresee the scene of Chu Qingxiao kneeling in front of him and crying bitterly and begging for his forgiveness in the near future.

But Chu Qingxiao still didn't pay attention to his sarcasm, but after hearing the words, he nodded, and then looked at the disciple of the Sword Holding Hall in front of him.

He casually stretched out his hand and nodded towards the crowd: "You, you, and the two of you, just the four of you, you come out, and the rest of the people go back, what should you do." Chu Qingxiao said.

This seemingly casual move made Lu Haocun, who was still complacent, suddenly change his face, and the four disciples who were pointed out by Chu Qingxiao also showed strange expressions, looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were a little hesitant.

There is no other reason.

Chu Qingxiao seemed to be just pointing at random, and the four people he pointed out were the four disciples who tortured Zhu Renzhao the night before yesterday under the instruction of Lu Haocun.

They participated in the whole process of killing Zhu Renzhao and throwing his body.

Lu Haocun thought about it carefully, and no one saw the whole process of their crime......

But if all this is just a coincidence, more than a hundred disciples, Chu Qingxiao happened to choose the four people involved in this matter, what is the probability of this?

"Why don't you come out? Could it be that the four of you happen to be the accomplices who killed Zhu Renzhao? Chu Qingxiao saw that everyone hesitated, and asked with a smile at this time.

The hearts of the people who heard this jumped, and their faces became even more ugly.

"Didn't you hear what this little brother said?? The body is not afraid of the shadow oblique, come out, the rest of the people go back, what should I do!! Lu Hao said at this time.

His words gave a few people a little confidence, and the four of them stepped out and walked to Chu Qingxiao, while the rest of the people retreated according to Lu Haocun's instructions.

"Little brother, you can judge it, I want to see how you reversed black and white." Lu Hao said at this time.

Although he was a little uneasy in his heart, he couldn't find out where his flaws were after thinking about it, so he decided to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and said so at that time.

Hearing this, Chu Qingxiao turned his head to look at the four of them and asked, "Did the four of you ever see Zhu Renzhao in the Sword Hall the night before yesterday?" ”

It could be seen that the four of them were a little nervous, and when they heard this, one of them said, "No!!" We...... We don't know who Zhu Renzhao is! ”

Seeing this, the other three also echoed it.

Probably because Chu Qingxiao pointed out the four of them, these people were a little nervous and didn't dare to say more.

And getting such an answer was also something Chu Qingxiao expected, he was not impatient, and then asked: "Then where are you all after the time, and what are you doing?" ”

One of them hurriedly said: "We are all in our own rooms, practicing and resting, and we have not been out of the room, and we don't know who has come to the Sword Hall. ”

The rest of the people also continued to echo: "Yes, yes, Senior Brother Li is right, we are all in our own rooms. ”

It can be seen that among all the people, only the man surnamed Li has the most resolute heart, and he is the only one who can still answer Chu Qingxiao's questions in an orderly manner at this stall, and does not show any flaws, while the other three are extremely nervous, their words flickering, and they can only echo one by one.

This was a non-problematic answer, but Chu Qingxiao, who heard this, frowned, and simply looked at the man surnamed Li and asked, "This senior brother, you just stay in your own room and practice, how do you know that the three of them are also in the house?" ”

With that, he looked at the other three and asked, "How do you know what the other three are doing that night?" ”

When the man surnamed Li heard this, his face changed slightly, and he looked at his companions around him, who also had ugly faces and became more and more flustered.

The man surnamed Li, who also knew that he had said the wrong thing, hurriedly remedied: "At that time, it was because of ...... Because we live in one house. ”

When these words came out, the three people around them seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, we live together!" ”

"The wing room in the sword hall is tight, so three or four people live in the same room......

"The four of us happened to have nothing else to do the day before yesterday, so we stayed in the house and didn't go anywhere."

Everyone sang and harmonized, and finally found a reasonable explanation.

thought that this could be confused, but Chu Qingxiao, who heard this, was still not the slightest bit annoyed.

"Oh? And how big is the house you live in? Chu Qingxiao asked again.

This is a question that doesn't seem to be related to the previous topic.

But based on the pressure brought by Chu Qingxiao's previous point out of the four of them, the four of them were a little nervous.

"It's just an ordinary house, not too big." One of them replied carefully.

"Then don't you sleep on the bunk?" Chu Qingxiao asked again.

"Poor...... Pretty much. The man answered.

And Chu Qingxiao, who got such an answer, suddenly had a smile on his face.

He glanced back behind him, and at this time, Chu Zhaozhao, Song Qingqing, and the four brothers and sisters of the Meng family suddenly walked out of the crowd, and they all held the pen and ink that had been prepared for a long time, and walked to the four people.

"Trouble the four of you to stand apart!" Chu Qingxiao said.

Lu Haocun, who had been watching from the side, felt faintly uneasy in his heart when he saw this.

And the four disciples also felt a little frightened, and they all looked at him as if asking for help at this time.

Lu Haocun frowned: "What are you going to do?" This is the Sword Hall! ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward.

But before he took a step, Lu Sandao, who was also looking at the scene in front of him, said: "I think, you'd better do it, otherwise you will interfere with the collection of evidence, and this town guard will be blocked by you in fear of crime!" ”

The woman said, her hands still pressed on the two blades of the knife at her waist.

That posture made Lu Haocun's heart froze, and he didn't dare to stop it after all.

And when the four people saw Lu Haocun like this, they didn't dare to disobey, and at Chu Qingxiao's request, they stood up one after another, and then the two people on the left and right faced west, one facing east, and the two in the middle, one facing north and one facing south.

None of the four could see each other at the moment.

And Song Qingqing and the others also handed over the brush that was already stained with ink in their hands, and at the same time handed the wooden plate where the rice paper was placed to the other party.

"Since all four of you said that you lived together the day before yesterday and stayed in the house until dawn, then I would like to ask you to write down the order in which you lay down in bed that night."

Chu Qingxiao's voice sounded at this moment.

"Of course, the first person to sleep probably won't know the following order, but it doesn't matter, you just write it before you go to bed, and you know the order in which a few companions fall asleep."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four people suddenly turned ugly.

That night, they tortured Zhu Renzhao as best they could under the instruction of Lu Haocun all night, why did they stay in their own room all the time, that was what they made up, this Chu Qingxiao asked them to write out that they knew the order of falling asleep, even if the four of them had a tacit understanding, it was impossible to make the answers they gave match without discussion.

Chu Qingxiao saw them like this, and the smile on his face was even worse, and then said: "Everyone, hurry up and write, think about what happened, by the way, I forgot to remind a few people, if you really don't know how to lie and make up a proper order, you can write that you fell asleep together at the same hour." ”

These words made the eyes of the four people with cold hearts light up, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.

But Chu Qingxiao lowered his voice at this time, stared at the four of them coldly, and said quietly: "But if it's really such a coincidence, then bother you to write the time when you fell asleep after it, to be accurate, if there is also a deviation, it is someone lying." ”

"In this kind of case involving the death of a disciple of the Taoist lineage, if you deliberately conceal the news, or even lie to exonerate the culprit, you should know what the price is, right?"
