Chapter 23: The Thief Grievance
When Cao Yan said that he had lost 500,000 spirit stones, Zhang Chi knew that there was a little bit of water in it.
After all, 500,000 spirit stones, it takes a lot of effort to carry them.
However, since the matter is getting bigger, it doesn't matter how much you steal or how little you steal, and the Hezuo League will do whatever it takes to investigate, and maybe you can borrow some powerful spiritual weapons.
After all, this is a world of cultivating immortals, and if something is hidden, it will not be exposed, whether it can be found or not depends on whether the price is big enough.
This is also the reason why Zhang Chi subconsciously thought of running away.
Run early, run far away, even if they know, they won't be able to catch up.
But he never expected that these people would really dare!
How many spirit stones can be held in two sacks?
How many spirit stones can he put under his bed?
Zhang Chi was still thinking about making such a big move before, could it be that the second child secretly hid the spirit stone somewhere else, and secretly felt that he had become rich.
In this way, it doesn't matter if the money runs away. He had even planned how to get out of it and live in a different place.
But why can two sacks hold 500, and they dare to report a loss of 500,000?
Crazy, right?
Only the thief can know how wronged the thief is.
At this moment, Zhang Chi didn't plan to run.
Whatever you run, if you dare to be greedy for Lao Tzu's money, you will have to die!
Bone Shadow: "......"
Although these people are a bit outrageous, they are not greedy for your money, right?
This is the first time Gu Youyou has seen Zhang Chi so angry, but the reason for being angry is also very outrageous.
As a demon, Gu Youyou often feels that he can't keep up with the train of thought of this group of human races.
Cao Yan and Qinghui had already explained the situation, and the thieves quietly stole 500,000 spirit stones, and no clues were found at the scene.
Tang Feng's heart moved, and he said: "Could it be that the little girl was rescued by Zhang Xiaoyou, and the thief held a grudge and deliberately retaliated?" β
Zhang Chi: "......"
If he didn't know that Tang Feng was a bit naΓ―ve, he would even suspect that Tang Feng was in league with them.
From the perspective of the thief, Zhang Chi saw it more clearly.
There is no doubt that Cao Yan and Qinghui must be participants in corruption, and the group of foundation building monks who participated in the patrol of Lingshi Cave must also be participants in interests.
500,000 spirit stones, what a lot of wealth to share in your hands, buying people's hearts, it is very simple.
What's more, with the collusion between Cao Yan and Qinghui, it is estimated that the disobedient will not survive.
Zhang Chi knew it in his heart, but it was not easy to accuse them.
According to the usual practice, Jiang Qingyun should have asked him for his opinion, otherwise there was no need to call him over.
Zhang Chi was ready to perform, however, Jiang Qingyun said, "Deputy Hall Master Zhou, what do you think of this matter?" β
The name of the master of Zhou Hall is Zhou You, who is Chongxu's son, Zhou Ran's father, and a monk in the later stage of foundation building.
The White Tiger Hall is the combat department of the Hezuo Alliance, and there are two hall masters, who are the people of the Dan Hall and the Refining Pavilion, but they are only in name and supervision.
The real thing to do is the deputy hall master of Zhou You.
Zhou You was able to sit in this position, of course, because of the Great Elder supported him, in order to restrain Jiang Qingyun's forces.
As soon as Jiang Qingyun heard that the spirit stone was stolen, and the amount was still so large, he didn't plan to let Zhang Chi get involved.
Under normal circumstances, in such a big case as the theft of spirit stones, a disciple of Zhang Chi was not qualified to participate.
But he had just saved Tang Ruoling, and the perpetrator of the theft of the spirit stone this time might be the same as the previous thief, plus the Great Elder's strong recommendation, Jiang Qingyun had to let Zhang Chi come to participate in this alliance.
The Great Elder can let Zhang Chi participate, but the power over who will be in charge of the investigation is still in Jiang Qingyun's hands.
Jiang Qingyun also gave Zhang Chi a look when he spoke.
You don't have to worry about it.
Zhou You heard Jiang Qingyun's question, his mind was still a mess, what did he think?
But Zhou You is also an old oilman, I can't do it myself, I can let others come!
"I heard that there is a prodigy in my sect who solves crimes, why don't you listen to his opinion first?"
Everyone's eyes successfully shifted to Zhang Chi's body, and Jiang Qingyun gave a warning again.
Disciple, the water is too deep for you to grasp!
Jiang Qingyun is not stupid, petty thieves are thieves, those who steal so much are called big thieves, and when they reach this amount, it will become a dangerous thing to investigate them.
Zhang Chicai is in the condensation period, what should he do if he is retaliated?
However, Zhang Chi didn't seem to understand her hints, and calmly took a step, and at this step, his momentum was completely different from before, like a sharp sword out of its sheath.
I don't share sin with sin!
This time it's serious!
Seeing his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Jiang Qingyun had a premonition that he was finished.
Zhang Chi didn't make trouble as soon as he came out, but first saluted Zhou and thanked him for his recognition.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingyun couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Are you stupid? He wants to hurt you, and you thank him!
After Zhang Chi thanked Zhou You, he looked at Cao Yan and Qinghui again, and bowed: "I have a few questions, can you ask the two seniors?" β
Cao Yan seemed to be very nervous, which was very reasonable, he lost so many spirit stones when he was the cave master, he was going to suffer an old sin this time.
Qinghui is more calm.
The elders of the Divine Soul Realm are treasures to every sect. If there is no evidence, no one can do anything to him.
This is the confidence that he dares to be so greedy.
Zhang Chi has done a good job, and in front of the public, it is not easy for them to refuse, so as not to cause extraneous complications.
Seeing that they all agreed, Zhang Chicai said to Cao Yan: "Dare to ask Master Caodong, is yesterday's warehouse count correct?" β
It is common sense that the treasury should be counted and recorded every day, and of course, this common sense is only known to the relevant personnel.
Zhang Chi has a wide range of knowledge, so he naturally knows this rule.
Cao Yan hurriedly said: "There is no problem when counting. β
"When was the inventory done?"
"About unitary time."
"When the theft was discovered, it was Yinshi, that is, during this period of time, the thief stole 500,000 spirit stones from the treasury, right?"
Cao Yan thought about it, Zhang Chi was a summary of what they said, and there was no problem, so he nodded.
Zhang Chi looked at Qinghui again and said, "Has Elder Qinghui been stationed in the treasury all the time last night?" β
Zhang Chi's question got to the point.
Think about it, isn't it too outrageous for 500,000 spirit stones to be stolen under the nose of a divine soul powerhouse?
So Zhang Chi guessed that he should admit a small mistake and create evidence of his alibi.
Sure enough, Elder Qinghui hesitated for a moment before replying with some embarrassment, "I stayed on the Red Boat last night. β
The Red Boat, that is, the high-end club, is practiced by some lowly monks, who only practice a good skin and serve people, and they are professional.
Because the water transport in this area of the Panlong River basin is particularly developed, so the practitioners usually take the waterway, can drive the boat to various places, in order to separate from those transport ships, this kind of ship appearance is painted red and festive, hence the name red boat.
The elder stayed overnight on the red boat, which was not a big deal in the first place.
Xiu Xian asked, isn't there another question?
What's more, the monks of the Divine Soul Realm mainly exercise their state of mind.
Asking questions can also be regarded as a kind of state of mind practice.
After Zhang Chi listened, he also knew what Qinghui had prepared, and it was estimated that the witnesses on the red boat side were ready.
Under normal circumstances, he might be able to fool the past.
But Zhang Chi was in reverse with the answer, he directly skipped the suspicion stage and confirmed that Qinghui was a thief, and the more Qinghui prepared, the more flaws there were......
