A tense atmosphere was created throughout Qingyang City.

Bai Siyuan led the monks of the Hakka Mansion to visit the various Hakka mansions one by one to make routine inquiries.

The city lord's palace dispatched 5,000 army troops and garrison troops to strengthen patrols in the city, and prepared a notice that from the next day, the people entering and leaving the city would be checked.

At least the superficial work is in place.

And Zhongfu, after learning the news of Shen Lanxin's fall, all the monks were in an uproar and talked about it.

Originally, I was envious that Zhong Yan leaned on the Changning Zhuji family, but it turned out to be a disaster, some people regretted it, and some people secretly gloated.

But for Zhong Fu to let everyone prove their innocence, no one objected, but they were very cooperative, and they were eager to clear up the relationship.

Individually questioned.

Below the sixth level of qi refining, it is difficult to have the ability to commit murder if you ask simply.

More than six layers of gas refining, multiple problems confirmed.

However, later monks such as Pang Baodu and Bai Siyuan almost all drank and communicated together, and there was no time to commit crimes.

Including Zhong Yan's suspected suspect target - Pei Nanjin!

During the incident, she had contact with Yan Sandao, Gongsun Nuannuan, Jiang Ping and others.

But Zhong Yan knew that she still had the time to commit the crime - the peak cultivation of the fourth layer of the foundation, and there was no need to use any speed-type talismans, and the time was more than enough.

Moreover, she once walked around the mansion because she was looking for Gongsun Nuannuan, understood the location of the buildings in the mansion, and had free access, so it was not difficult to find Shen Lanxin's residence.

However, when Liu Chengyang looked at her with suspicion and asked her about her cultivation, she completely identified herself.

"I am from the Seven Peaks of the Fire Cloud Sect, and I arrived in Qingyang before the people of your Shen family, and I have no intersection with the Shen family before, and I have no motive for committing the crime."

Pei Nanjin took out the identity token.

Can't hide it.

When she first arrived at Zhongfu, she reported her name in front of several monks, and her little sister Gongsun Nuannuan made another move of 'lifting the stone lion'.

As long as Liu Chengyang transmits the news back to Changning, Shen Nanfeng will be able to find out, and even he may know the name Pei Nanjin himself.

"The Seven Peaks of the Fire Cloud Sect?"

Liu Chengyang was surprised and frightened, and carefully looked at the token, although he had never seen it, he couldn't fake it.

After a little groaning, he returned the token to Pei Nanjin with both hands, and solemnly bowed his hand: "Junior Liu Chengyang has seen Pei senior!" I also ask the seniors to forgive their sins, and dare to ask the seniors what is the so-called matter of coming to Qingyang this time? ”

"Please forgive Uncle Zhong, I didn't say my identity before."

Pei Nanjin said a word to Zhong Yan, and then said frankly to Liu Chengyang:

"This matter is a misunderstanding, before the master left, he seriously instructed me and other disciples to take care of Uncle Zhong, and when I learned that someone was investigating Uncle Zhong in the sect, I thought it was in trouble, so I deliberately went on this trip."

Uncle Zhong...... Liu Chengyang's heart shook again, "The younger generation has offended a lot, and the murderer naturally can't be Senior Pei." ”

Pei Nanjin: "Please keep this matter secret, I will leave in a few days." ”

“……”

By the next day, all the monks in the Bell Mansion were able to find an alibi of three or more.

The matter is put on hold for the time being.

Liu Chengyang needs to ask Changning.

The selection of Zhongfu Keqing has been postponed, and the date is to be determined.

However, because Zhong Yan offended the Shen family, many monks found excuses to resign and leave, and no longer participated in the election, and a hundred people were neatly formed.

If it weren't for the spirit stones received in advance, even Wu Yang and the other seven 'fake guest qing' would have to withdraw, worried about being implicated.

Especially Chen Wanmiao, she regretted it to death.

When Zhong Yan explained her mission, she did not say the specific reason, and later learned that Shen Lanxin had fallen, and even guessed that it was Zhong Fu's secret mastermind.

Zhong Yan could understand the reaction of the monks, and temporarily stayed for three more days, waiting for Changning's reply.

A heavy courtyard side hall.

Several important figures of the Zhong Mansion were present.

Yu Qingyao said worriedly: "Husband, then Shen Nanfeng was a disciple of the Five Peaks of the Fire Cloud Sect, so he should be able to search for souls, what if Xiao Tao goes back and is searched for souls?" ”

Yan Sandao also said: "Even if she doesn't search for souls, she may tell the truth, then ......"

Zhong Yan frowned and pondered.

That's not the problem.

It's the murderer.

He speculated in his heart that Pei Nanjin was more likely to commit a crime.

There are hundreds of attics in the small courtyard in the Zhong Mansion and thousands of rooms, how could the so-called 'evil cultivators who infiltrated the mansion' find the Six-Fold Courtyard to kill Shen Lanxin alone?

Except for the concubine Dongcao and the four maids, no one knew where she lived, and many monks in the mansion would not rudely go into the courtyard without permission.

As for the other 'Zhen Rong' who was newly admitted to the mansion, he asked Yu Qingyao to kill him.

What he couldn't figure out was, if it was Pei Nanjin, what was the motive?

After a long time, Zhong Yan shook his head and said: "The Shen family doesn't have to worry, although Shen Lanxin died in the Zhong Mansion, as long as we are not the real murderer, we don't have much responsibility, the Shen family took the initiative to come to the door, the responsibility of guarding is not ours, and we don't have that ability." ”

"If the maid had told all the things, it would have proved that the matter had nothing to do with us."

"And if she doesn't say it, then the contradiction will be transferred to the evil cultivator and the guard, both of which can be combined."

Zhong Yan said, and added a sentence in his heart-how could he let her go back to Changning.

Everyone nodded suddenly.

Li Shangwen said: "Uncle, is the marriage letter still valid?" Are you still going to Changning? ”

Although he obeyed Zhong Yan's arrangement, he was still a little reluctant to leave him behind for everyone to go to Changning, and it was best to leave them all together.

"It's just a marriage letter, it's not married, everyone is dead, it's naturally invalid!"

Speaking of this, Zhong Yan was still a little annoyed in his heart, and he was fooled by Shen Lanxin.

Even if Shen Nanfeng finally agreed to provide the spiritual vein, he didn't know how long it would take.

Although the Shen family was sitting on a second-order high-grade spiritual vein, they could intercept a small section as a first-order spiritual vein, but doing so would cause great damage to the spiritual vein, and Shen Nanfeng would never do this.

You can only find it separately.

But the spiritual veins are so easy to get.

Yu Qingyao: "Then we can only wait for news from Changning now, husband, do you want to summon Senior Lin again and ask him to help talk?" ”

"No, you don't."

……

The other side.

The people of the Shen family got together to discuss.

Fifteen people came, and there were only ten left.

Shen Lanxin fell, a monk maid and two maids who lived in the 'Taihe Inn' also died, and Shen Lanxin's good concubine disappeared - naturally Zhong Yan arranged for Chen Wanmiao and Gu Baiyu to do it.

The killing of the maid and the maid is to die without proof, and to erase the possible alibi of the concubine.

One person asked, "Captain Liu, what should I do now?" It can't really be Ge Qing's doing, right? ”

One said: "I asked the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, and I didn't see the specific time when Ge Qing left the inn, but the time when the three of them died was similar to that of the young lady." ”

Another person said: "If he does that kind of thing, how can he let ordinary people see it, an invisibility charm can hide it, Taihe Inn is not far from here, and he can catch up in time, but Ge Qing can kill Miss?" Is there an accomplice? ”

You say a word to me, a burst of analysis.

Liu Chengyang looked at Xiao Tao and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Xiao Tao said: "If Miss doesn't pay attention, he can do it with the relationship, and he knows that Miss has a lot of resources in the storage bag, and in addition, Miss is determined to marry into the Zhong Mansion and completely sever the previous relationships in the future, and I have mentioned it to Ge Qing." ”

Someone said: "So, he felt that he would not be able to get benefits from Miss in the future, so he grabbed resources and completely left the Shen family and flew away?" ”

The other person looked at Xiao Tao with a flickering gaze: "Perhaps, it is more likely that Miss is worried about her mouth, so it is better to strike first!" ”

Xiao Tao looked at everyone's faces and said, "Miss didn't say it explicitly." ”

Explicit, unspoken, thoughts.

Xiao Tao said again: "By the way, Miss asked me to send a message to Xiao Li to come to Zhongfu tomorrow, and they also know where Miss lives, could it be that the evil cultivators in the city happened to kill Xiao Li and them, and then learned the news, took advantage of the Zhongfu party, disguised themselves to infiltrate, and decisively found them?" ”

"This ...... It's also possible. ”

Long.

Liu Chengyang said: "You go first, Xiao Tao stays, and we will report the situation to the ancestor to see how to deal with it." ”
