At first, the inquiry did not go well. Because, Zhou Zheng's qualifications are too shallow, those few people look down on him in their hearts and don't cooperate at all.

Later, Liu Xu, who cared most about the master and wanted to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible, was the first to stand up and take the initiative to accept the questioning, which made the other people put aside their prejudices and actively cooperate.

It's a pity that the clues they provide are not of much value. Towards the end, Qian Hua's unintentional words attracted Zhou Zheng's great attention. Four or five years ago, Qingsong from Jiuhua Mountain once asked Zhang Hao if he would like to be his Taoist companion.

Liu Xu and Zhang Rui both have impressions of this matter. Moreover, Liu Xu recalled that at that time, Master Zhang Hagi was obviously moved, but later, for some reason, Zhang Hagi did not agree in the end.

Could it be that the man who cheated on Zhang Hagi was Qingsong?

If it was really Qing Song, he did have the ability to sneak into Zhang Hao's bedroom quietly. Moreover, with his cultivation, he is also fully capable of killing Zhang Hagi under a sneak attack.

However, why did Qing Song kill Zhang Hagi? In order to ascend to immortals? Although Jiuhua Mountain realized it later, it had also developed a substitute for Ascending Immortal San, so there was no need to let the dignified elders take such a big risk because of this!

In order to weaken Maisendai's strength?

This one is even more unlikely! With the strength of Jiuhua Mountain, if he really planned to deal with Wuxiantai by killing, he would be able to kill all the elders of Wuxiantai overnight. Even Miaose may not be able to escape the catastrophe.

Jiuhuashan's current approach is just to make Wuxiantai chaotic and self-weakening. It can be seen from Cao Xiu's willingness to sacrifice that such a sect will never leave any truth to be criticized by other sects. Therefore, it is very unlikely that Qingsong will kill people directly.

It can't be a green pine! And Zhang Hagi doesn't have a favorite man, so who killed her after having a skin-to-skin relationship with Zhang Hagi?

The biggest possibility is that Zhang Hagi knows who the murderer of those female disciples is, and that person is her closest person. Therefore, in the tryst between the two, the man committed murder in order to kill the mouth!

According to this line of thinking, the murderer must be someone inside Maisendai, and he has a close relationship with Zhang Hagi, and the scope has narrowed down a lot.

Zhou Zheng ordered Yiyi to dig up Zhang Hao's network.

As long as you have done it, there are traces! Zhou Zheng is not afraid that he will not be able to find out!

After sending Liu Xu and the others away, Zhou Zheng came to Shennong Hall alone again to check the bodies of Zhang Hao and Liu Xu's murdered female disciple.

If Zhang Hao's case is full of fog, then Liu Xu's female disciple has almost no clues.

That night, Liu Xu had important accounts to sort out, so her disciple helped her until late. After that, Liu Xu went back to Zhang Hagi to continue to reconcile. And that disciple also went back to the house to rest on his own, in Liu Xu's elder's mansion.

During this period, the disciples of the Peak Patrol did not find that anyone had entered or left the Elder's Mansion, nor did they hear any cries for help.

In other words, it is very likely that the murderer had sneaked in and hid when Liu Xu was still in the mansion, and he was still familiar with the female disciple.

can hide from Liu Xu's ears and eyes, and the murderer is at least a cultivator above the upper echelons of the Heavenly Rank. There are only a handful of such people in Maisendai. And people with such conditions, especially men, do not have the time to commit crimes.

Zhou Zheng once expanded the scope of investigation to all male disciples of the entire sect, but as a result, there was no one who met the conditions of the murderer.

Now, Zhou Zheng has a bold guess in his heart, and he needs to further verify it through the corpse.

Just after looking at the corpse, Liu Zi hurriedly looked for it, "Master, Pan Hong is dead." Yes, suicide! ”

It turned out that Liu Zi and Guan Ju led a team to search the residences of Pan Hong and Cao Xiu. Cao Xiu didn't find anything there, but he found a bottle of extremely hidden medicinal powder in Pan Hong's place, and he couldn't figure out the use for the time being.

Zhou Zheng knew that the bottle of medicinal powder was the substitute for Shengxian San that Cao Xiu gave to Zhou Zheng and was returned back.

I don't know how to leak the news, after Pan Hong knew about it, he blew up Yuan Shen before Liu Zi and the others came back to interrogate him.

"There is no proof of death, it seems that Cao Xiu is hanging!"

Liu Zi didn't understand, "If it is found that the bottle of medicinal powder is consistent with the medicine left on the deceased's body, doesn't it just prove Cao Xiu's innocence?" ”

"Innocence? What if this medicine was secretly planted for him by Cao Xiu in Pan Hong's house? Pan Hong is alive, no matter how much he quibbles, there will always be loopholes that we will discover. Now that he is dead, you can say that he committed suicide in fear of sin, but it is also possible that Pan Hong proved his innocence by dying. There is no proof of death! His previous accusations against Cao Xiu have become true even if they are not true. Moreover, Cao Xiu will also become the biggest suspect in murder! ”

"Master, in this way, Pan Hong's scheming is deep enough! He died like this, which made the whole thing even more muddy. ”

"Nope! It's clearer! I was only suspicious before, but when Pan Hong died like this, I can be sure that he must be a spy! ”

Liu Zi suddenly realized, "That's right! Only a spy would want to muddy the waters as much as possible! ”

"Let's go, follow me to meet the master!"

Tianyin Palace, Miaose, Wang Peng, Bai Yue, Liu Xu, Nie Shan, and the elders who can come from Wuxiantai all gathered together. Zhou Zheng asked Liu Zi to give everyone a detailed report on the whole case.

"The head, the elders, the murderer is Pan Hong. The tool he used was the bottle of powder I had just presented. There is an ingredient of silver snake grass in it, which can make the female disciples who practice the Spring Silkworm Gong take the initiative to dedicate themselves to becoming a furnace. ”

After the case, Miaose did not continue to hide it, but told several elders about her plan. Liu Zi, as the organizer of the case, with Miaose's consent, Zhou Zheng also told her the truth.

"However, now that Pan Hong committed suicide in fear of sin, we have no way of knowing many details. We speculate that Xia Huan, the first deceased, the reason why Pan Hong would personally commit the murder is most likely to verify the efficacy of the drug.

After the drug was successful, Pan Hong took advantage of Gao Jin and Cao Xiu's lustful personalities to drug the other four female disciples respectively, causing them to die at the hands of Gao Jin and Cao Xiu unknowingly. He did this, mainly to disrupt the audio-visual. Moreover, as the most beautiful man in Maisendai, he has the conditions to easily drug these female disciples without being suspected by them.

In addition, we suspect that Pan Hong and Elder Zhang Hagi have an extremely close relationship, and it is very likely that Pan Hong learned about the Silver Snake Grass and Spring Silkworm Gong from Elder Zhang Hagi. Therefore, after Pan Hong's murder, Elder Zhang Hao immediately guessed that it was him. It is estimated that Elder Zhang Hao wanted to persuade him to stop in time, but Pan Hong suddenly made a move and killed people. ”

"Pan Hong only has a mid-level Heavenly Rank cultivator, how could he kill Zhang Hao?" Wang Peng asked.

Liu Zi's face flushed, "We deduce that it should be the two of them, when they were passionate, when Elder Zhang Hagi was unprepared, Pan Hong's killer." My master conducted another examination of Elder Zhang's body, and found that Elder Zhang's fatal wounds were earlier than the other wounds on her body. In other words, Pan Hong stabbed Elder Zhang Hagi first, and before she died, and when she didn't have the strength to fight back, he deliberately left the scars of the fight on her body. The purpose is still to confuse the public. ”

"Yes," Zhou Zheng nodded, "the wounds are almost all at the same time, and it is difficult to distinguish the order." However, several disciples of Shennongtang were highly skilled, and they still found out the difference between several wounds. ”

"As for the last deceased, that is, Elder Liu Xu's disciple, we speculate that it was also Pan Hong's own hand. We have investigated, and the female disciple has also admired Pan Hong for a long time, and is a person who is willing to sacrifice herself for Pan Hong. ”

"But, why did Pan Hong kill her?" Liu Xu was very concerned.

"We judged that maybe that disciple found out about Pan Hong's murder and used it to threaten him, so he was killed by Pan Hong."

"Then how did he enter Elder Liu Xu's mansion? And Elder Zhangh? Wang Peng was extremely puzzled and most worried about this matter.

"This, because Pan Hong is dead, has not been found out."

Zhou Zheng stood up in time at this time, "There should be someone to help, and there may be more than one person." I suspect that this was an organized and premeditated sabotage campaign by other sects against our Maisendai. ”

As soon as Zhou Zheng's words came out, several elders changed color one after another.

"From the time Pan Hong's residence searched for the silver snake herbal powder to his suicide, it was less than two quarters of an hour in between, and the matter was extremely confidential. How did Pan Hong get the news? Therefore, I conducted an internal audit of the torture hall in time, but found that a person named Chen Po was missing. The disciples of the mountain gate confirmed that this person had already run away, and the time was at the same time as Pan Hong's suicide. I've sent men to hunt me down, but there's little hope of catching them.

In the whole case, if Pan Hong was to improve his own cultivation, he would not have to do it so intensively, let alone borrow the hands of others. Therefore, his purpose was to kill these female disciples who practiced Spring Silkworm Gong. Why kill these people? It goes without saying that in order to sabotage the plan for the rise of Maisendai.

In addition, he blamed Gao Jin, this understanding. However, why did he pull Cao Xiu into the water again and not kill him? Just to confuse the public? Looking for a scapegoat? I don't think so. Pan Hong, or the forces behind Pan Hong, their purpose is to be in charge. Cao Xiu is the master's beloved disciple, and mixing him into it will definitely affect the master's state of mind, so that the head of the sect will not be able to smoothly retreat and impact the immortal level! ”

"Master, I suggest that the disciples of Maisentai be comprehensively examined and those spies dug out!" Wang Peng was the first to stand up.

"Good!" Miaose's face turned blue, "I want to see who is so vicious against us!" However, it must be done in secret, don't startle the snake! ”

"Understood!"

"Elder Bai Yue, you assist Elder Wang Peng in investigating this matter!"

"Yes, sir!"

"At the same time, tomorrow I will declare a retreat to give them the illusion that they will strike again. Elder Zhou Zheng and Elder Liu Xu, you are secretly keeping an eye on it, and if you find out who it is, you will not be soft! ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Nie Shan, you go to Elder Zheng Yuan to protect him. We have lost one of our elders, and no one else can afford to lose! ”

"Yes, boss!"

"Everybody, step aside. Elder Zhou Zheng stayed. ”

When everyone left the Tianyin Palace, Miaose couldn't wait to ask, "Is all this really done by Pan Hong?" ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head, "The drug residues in the bodies of the first four deceased are inconsistent with the content of this bottle of medicinal powder. Therefore, Pan Hong is just an imitator who fuels the trouble. ”

"Is he a spy?"

"He must be!"

"Which sect?"

"I guess, Wangtian Pavilion is the most likely."

"Wangtian Pavilion?" Miaose understood it when she thought about it. Now, the strength of himself and Wuhuan is comparable, and the two sects are not bad. If his plan for spring silkworm gong is successful, the existing balance will be broken all of a sudden. Wangtian Pavilion is bound to be suppressed by Maisendai, and there is even a danger of being carved up.

Wuhuan naturally won't sit still!

"Okay, I'll tell Wang Peng to dig deep in this direction."

Miao Se looked at Zhou Zheng suspiciously, "How could Wangtian Pavilion know about this plan?" Also, why didn't you say this result in front of everyone? Why did Liu Zi put all the charges on Pan Hong? Do you doubt the people in the middle? "Miaose is quite smart.

"Not bad. Spring Silkworm Gong and Ascension Immortal Powder are the secrets of the sect. Elder Wang Peng only knew the exercises but didn't know the existence of Ascension Immortal San, so this secret wouldn't have been leaked from him. Elder Zhang Hagi knew both, and she was also dead, which was enough to prove that it was Elder Zhang Hagi who leaked the secret.

Elder Zhang Hagi was loyal to the sect, and it was impossible for him to leak secrets because of coercion and inducement. With such a secret, Elder Zhang Hagi would not say it to her disciples casually, no matter how close it was! However, there is a possibility, Elder Zhang Hagi would say. That is, her close disciples will be in danger of their lives, and she will remind her disciples to take precautions. ”

"You mean..."

"Liu Xu is the disciple that Elder Zhang Hagi cares about the most, and she is the only one among Elder Zhang Hagi's close disciples who cultivates the Spring Silkworm Gong, and moreover, Liu Xu is about to enter the peak of the Heavenly Rank and become a furnace ding."

"What do you mean, in order to protect Liu Xu's life, Zhang Hagi reminded her to guard against ascending to immortals?"

"It's not impossible!"

However, Liu Xu was voluntary. Moreover, she is a woman! ”

"It's just because she's a woman that she uses the hands of male disciples to carry out the killing."

"However, her disciples, as well as Zhang Hagi, have all done the same thing."

"Speaking of her disciples, that's the second reason why I doubt her. Is it possible that she has already started cultivating the lower part of the Spring Silkworm Gong? ”

"The lower part? When you say this, I think that female disciple really seems to have died by violently grabbing the yin element by the technique of collecting yin and supplementing yang. However, the lower part I kept was modified by me. Could it be that she practiced the original version? But is she a woman? ”

Zhou Zheng smiled, "The reason why I suspect Liu Xu is because the time of the case is too coincidental, and the first disciple died shortly after she came back from Qingying Peak. What happened to Qing Ying Peak, I think the head should know, right? ”

Miaose's face was angry, "Tongzhen, that bastard, I don't know if it's because of eating the Daoxu Ren Dan, but he also became horny!" On that day, I sent Liu Xu over to discuss economic cooperation between the two factions. He actually made a move on Liu Xu. Fortunately, Liu Xu struggled to resist and escaped from his clutches! When my cultivation is promoted to the immortal level, the first one will not let go of Tongzhen! ”

After saying that, Miaose suddenly came to her senses, "You mean, what kind of agreement did she reach with Tongzhen that Tongzhen let her go?" ”

"This, I don't know."

"But," Musele thought to herself, "she's a woman, how could she..."

"To verify the right body, you still need to take action from the head of the house."

Miaose glared at him angrily.
