Chapter 0046: Suspicion
Hearing Hong Bingzhong's question, Niu Yuanping couldn't help but be stunned.
Seriously, he really didn't expect that Hong Bingzhong would suddenly mention the matter of Tong Yizhen's killing of the monkey spirit demon, after all, the page has already been turned over.
If he didn't mention it, it is estimated that he would soon be forgotten.
However, since it was mentioned, he couldn't help but think about it.
That night, after killing all the monkey spirits and demons, Niu Yuanping did have doubts about one thing, and he couldn't figure it out.
He found out that Zhu Yushun actually lied.
For the total number of monkey spirits and demons killed, there is something to hide!
How many demons and demons have been killed, Niu Yuanping definitely knows in his heart.
That night, he killed a total of sixteen demon monkey spirits in the Changjie Street of Tongyi Town.
And when he entered the mansion, what he saw was ten human skins placed around Zhu Yushun in the house!
plus the three demons who pretended to be Yin Lu Qianshan of the Sucheng Mansion, Yacha Tian Dongchen and Guo Hongfeng.
The total number should be twenty-nine!
But Zhu Yushun said that there were 28 in total.
If he hadn't seen clearly that there were ten human skins scattered in the house, Zhu Yushun would have said that there were twenty-eight, and he would have believed it.
But with the blessing of the superbrain system, it is absolutely impossible for Niu Yuanping to count wrong!
As long as it is seen by his eyes, the superbrain system will definitely give back the correct information.
Ten human skins, indeed!
And so it goes.
It is true that the total number is twenty-nine, not twenty-eight.
But why did Zhu Yushun lie?
It's puzzling.
Niu Yuanping, who couldn't figure out the reason, once thought that Zhu Yushun had a problem, and suspected that he was also impersonated by the monkey spirit demon!
However, after repeated confirmation by the superbrain system, no possibility of this kind was found.
In the end, he couldn't figure out the real purpose of Zhu Yushun's lie.
So I thought to myself, it's none of my business, why do I want to take the initiative to wade into this troubled water?
With the idea that more is better than less, Niu Yuanping plans to turn a blind eye and that's it.
However, I didn't expect it.
Today, this Hong Bingzhong suddenly asked about this......
Do you want to tell the truth?
Niu Yuanping, who made it at this moment, began to have a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Soon, he felt that something was not quite right!
It's only been a few days since I joined the Demon Division, and I don't have any friendship with these guys.
Why did you think of asking him such a sensitive topic tonight?
According to common sense, shouldn't you ask Zhu Yushun first?
After all, whether it is from the distance or intimacy of the relationship, or from the logical analysis and consideration, Zhu Yushun is more suitable to answer this question.
Niu Yuanping suddenly realized that he had to be cautious!
Thereupon.
Under Hong Bingzhong's gaze, his face did not change, and there was no wave in his eyes, and he responded lightly, "How many have been killed, and the juniors have not counted them carefully, because Master Zhu Yushun quickly put the corpse of the monkey spirit demon into his demon collection pocket."
That's right.
Niu Yuanping didn't intend to answer his question honestly, and simply put the blame on Zhu Yushun.
Whatever information you know, you don't intend to tell the truth.
That doesn't seem like a good thing!
It's better not to get involved.
As for the demons in Tongyi Town, whether they have been killed or not, whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net, are not things he should care about.
Before you find out the truth, the first task is to stay alone and keep yourself safe.
At this time.
Hearing this, Hong Bingzhong nodded silently.
After a long time, he continued, "I heard Lao Zhu say that most of the monkey spirits and demons were killed by you. So, I thought you knew everything. ”
When Niu Yuanping heard this, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he secretly thought, "What? Is this to use me as a substitute for the dead? Or a scapegoat? ……”
He couldn't help but frown.
Somehow, he gradually figured out a little bit of suspicion......
This inquiry is indeed a bit unusual!
So, he continued to respond, "The younger generation was eager to make meritorious contributions at that time, and there were indeed a lot of monkey spirits killed. But that day, I only focused on slaying demons and making meritorious contributions...... I didn't pay much attention to the other things. ”
Anyway.
Niu Yuanping stared at Hong Bingzhong and asked tentatively, "Isn't the case in Tongyi Town already closed?" Why is it suddenly mentioned again? Was there something going on? ”
Hong Bingzhong sighed, frowned, and after a while, said in a deep voice: "I won't tell you, there was indeed an accident!" ……”
He stared at Niu Yuanping, "I have something to tell you, after you listen to it, don't talk nonsense everywhere."
Niu Yuanping hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, the junior has a very strict mouth."
Hong Bingzhong continued, "That day...... Your master Zhu Yushun collected a total of twenty-eight corpses of monkey spirits and demons, but there were twenty-nine human skins of the victims! ”
Niu Yuanping's eyes flashed, and he thought secretly, "I really didn't read it wrong!"
Although I already knew it in my heart.
But he deliberately made a surprised expression on his face, "Twenty-nine human skins?!" …… Wouldn't that run away from a demon? ”
"Hmmm! ......" Hong Bingzhong nodded, "There is indeed a possibility!"
While quietly observing Hong Bingzhong, Niu Yuanping asked tentatively, "My master...... When did you find out that a demon had escaped? ”
"Lao Zhu told us when he came back from Tongyi Town that night, saying that the corpse of a monkey spirit demon was missing, so in order not to cause panic, the news has been blocked from the outside world!"
When Niu Yuanping heard this, his heart moved.
I see!
On the night of the demon slaying, Zhu Yushun found an extra human skin...... But he insisted that he had only killed twenty-eight monkey spirits.
The blockade of the news is not only for fear of causing panic, but also because I don't trust the apprentices, including Niu Yuanping, so I deliberately conceal it......
Thinking of this, Niu Yuanping was relieved.
He once thought that the reason why Zhu Yushun lied and concealed the facts was because he might have something wrong or some other conspiracy.
Fortunately, there was a false alarm...... I finally solved the doubts that had been buried in my heart since that night until now.
This Zhu Yushun's city is quite deep.
Niu Yuanping couldn't help but sigh secretly, the routine is really deep.
When he was suspicious of others, they were actually suspicious of him.
However.
Thinking of this, Niu Yuanping's heart suddenly tightened again.
That's not right!
Doesn't that illustrate a problem?
I have always been the object of suspicion!
Maybe at this time, he has already been locked into a monkey spirit in human skin!
Thinking of this, Niu Yuanping's face was strange.
He stole a glance at Hong Bingzhong.
asked, "Since we know that there is a demon who has escaped, what should we do?" The seniors should have some eyebrows, right? ”
Hong Bingzhong nodded.
"It's a bit of an eyebrow!"
Niu Yuanping suddenly became interested when he heard this, "Oh? Have you already mastered the trail of the fleeing demon? ”
At this time, Hong Bingzhong's face had begun to be solemn.
"Yes! We doubt ...... Lao Zhu has a problem! ”
