Chapter 404: The Truth Comes Out
Under the eaves, the atmosphere is not harmonious.
The two injured patients sat in the room with only moonlight, and Long Jianquan and Bai Yu looked at each other silently.
Bai Yu's eyes were very sure.
He also knew that after he said the three words 'Ao Xuanyue', there was no room for any change in this conversation.
That's why he had to name it.
Because only now is the most suitable.
Long Jianquan frowned, and he said lightly: "Are you sleepy?" There is no information about Ao Xuanyue's disappearance, I don't know at all. ”
Bai Yu said: "You and I know this clearly, why do you need to go around in any circle? ”
Long Jianquan denied: "I don't need to hide anything from you. ”
Bai Yu sighed: "Do you have to pretend to be the end?" ”
"Well, I know what kind of character you are, you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin."
"So, let me talk about my opinion, it's about Ao Xuanyue's past."
Long Jianquan stared at Bai Yu calmly, waiting for his next step.
"You also know that the purpose of our coming to the Dragon Land from the beginning was to find Ao Xuanyue, and in order to learn the truth about the collective disappearance of the Thousand Dust Society three years ago, we need this only surviving person to provide us with enough useful information - but she also disappeared from the water walking ritual three years ago."
Bai Yu started from the beginning.
"Ao Xuanyue is not the Dragon Emperor's lineage, although her surname is Ao, she is a side branch, so she is not qualified to hold a ceremony."
But she was able to answer some of the points about the ceremony, and the Council of Elders passed a resolution to enforce the ritual of walking the water.
"From the standpoint of the elders, you can give it a try, and it won't waste much time anyway."
"I personally believe that this water walking ceremony held three years ago is a hoax at all."
Hearing this, Long Jianquan frowned and said, "Do you have any evidence to prove this?" ”
Bai Yu said flatly: "I have no direct evidence, but I have indirect witnesses. ”
"Who?"
"Dead Ao Shuang."
"A dead man can't testify to you."
"No, dead people can." Bai Yu had already sorted out the chain of evidence, and calmly retorted: "Ao Shuang is a high-level demon, the target is the ghost king, and if she devours the ghost king, she can be promoted to the ancestral demon, so she can't wait to join the water walking ceremony, and hopes that it can really awaken the ghost king." ”
"In fact, Ao Shuang really participated in this water walking ceremony, and she probably thought that this ceremony could be successful."
"But the result was that the water walking ceremony failed, Ao Xuanyue disappeared, Ao Shuang found nothing, and had to wait for another three years."
"But whether it will succeed or not, Ao Xuanyue herself will definitely be able to know, and it can't be true if it's fake, unless she even deceives herself."
"Ao Xuanyue knows very well that she is a fake, so the question is, why did she do this?"
"Wait a minute." Long Jianquan interrupted: "Haven't you considered the possibility that Ao Xuanyue herself was deceived? In case she was only instructed by someone, or if someone deceived her, there was every reason to perform the water walking ceremony. ”
"It's also impossible." Bai Yu tried to shake his head, but his neck was tied, so he could only shake his head on behalf of the cat: "As for why it is impossible, I will list and prove it later." ”
Long Jianquan groaned: "Then follow your assumptions: why did she do this?" ”
"There are three possibilities." White Elm makes the cat erect two front paws and a tail.
"The first one is caused by coincidence, Ao Xuanyue just had an accidental vanity attack, or some other reason, which led to her decision to hold a water walking ceremony - but considering the importance that the dragon clan attaches to this ceremony, I think this possibility is very low, and her confirmation has been seriously prepared for a long time."
The cat hangs down its left front paw.
"The second is caused by external forces, who is forcing Ao Xuanyue to hold a water walking ceremony, for example...... It's not impossible to get caught by Ao Shuang and threaten 'you don't want to ...... either' or something like that, but I don't think it's very high. ”
"The most anxious thing about the water walking ceremony is the elders' meeting, not Ao Shuang, she is smart enough to understand the benefits of lurking."
"Besides, the layout of the Dragon Hometown was left by the overlord himself, besides, did Ao Shuang really have the ability to devour a ghost king three years ago?"
The cat hangs down its right front paw.
"The third is that she took the initiative to do it herself, no one forced her, but she needed to do it."
"I think this one is the most likely, she needs to complete a long-planned ...... through the water walking ritual"
"Missing."
The cat wagged its tail.
Bai Yu stared at Long Jianquan's eyes, his gaze was as sharp as a knife: "Actually, you know best, don't you?" As the person in charge of delivering meals back then. ”
Long Jianquan turned a deaf ear, he still denied it: "It's just your speculation, even if the water walking ceremony is fake, Ao Xuanyue's disappearance may not have been planned by herself." ”
"At the end of the day, your inference lacks a fundamental chain of evidence."
"Especially the most important thing you can't solve."
"—How the hell did she disappear from the Longyuan Palace!"
Yes, if Ao Xuanyue really wants to make herself disappear or disappear, she will inevitably need to hide from Ao Shuang and Ao Qinglian, but the road to the Longyuan Hall is all passable by one side, there is no other exit, and there is no other exit.
Even the overlord also walked out the same way, which shows that even if he is a fifth-order saint, if he doesn't directly break through the mountain wall, he can't go straight to the deepest part through the outer wall of Long Yuan.
"Ao Shuang is a demon, she must expect this water walking ceremony to be successful, so she must be on the side of the Elders."
"If Ao Shuang saw the failure of the ceremony and killed Ao Xuanyue in a fit of rage, it would be more reasonable."
Long Jianquan reasoned.
Bai Yu didn't deny it: "Your inference is the same as my original, after revealing Ao Shuang's identity, I also think so, she must be the culprit who killed Ao Xuanyue, but I noticed something strange later......"
"The abnormality is located on Ao Qinglian's body."
"Why did you kill Ao Xuanyue, but let Ao Qinglian go, she can control one Ao Qingyue, why can't she control one more Ao Xuanyue?"
"During the conversation between me and Ao Shuang, although she was very malicious, in fact, the killing intent was not strong, on the contrary, she kept persuading me to accept the demon seed, and this was true for me, for Ao Xuanyue, who is also a dragon, she really had no reason to kill her."
"And after I recalled it carefully, she didn't admit that she killed Ao Xuanyue."
"Perhaps, Ao Xuanyue's disappearance has nothing to do with her at all!"
"Ao Shuang, as a high-level demon, is too deceptive, so she carries a black cauldron that she doesn't know about."
Long Jianquan still shook his head: "It's still pure speculation, don't you have any substantial evidence?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the window was opened, and the guardian cat was startled, jumped to the side of the bed, and made a threatening explosion sound outside the window.
A dark shadow swooped in, and the black cloak unfurled.
Earth Tribulation Star spat out a mouthful of white mist: "When I received the news, I came directly." ”
"You can't go through the front door?" Bai Yu rolled his eyes.
"I'm sorry, it's a professional habit."
"It's here, I don't know what you want this for." Earth Tribulation Star pulled out a food box from his back: "I haven't washed it before, and it's still stained with coagulated blood." ”
"Just put it on the ground." Bai Yu's eyes turned to the other side: "This is the evidence you want." ”
Long Jianquan stared at the food box, he looked away, and said with a somewhat uncomfortable expression: "What kind of evidence is this?" ”
"You're not trying to escape, I've told you." Bai Yu said flatly: "This food box is the way to leave from Long Yuan. ”
Long Jianquan didn't speak, but the Earth Tribulation Star spoke first: "Although this box is not small, it can only fit a head and a half at most." ”
"That's enough." Bai Yu smiled and said, "It's enough to take a person out." ”
Earth Tribulation Star smiled: "Where is enough to take out, so even if you take it out, it will only be cut into pieces and given to ......"
The more he spoke, the slower he spoke, his gaze becoming more solemn and terrifying, as if he realized something.
Bai Yu said in a deep voice: "I don't seem to have said it from the beginning...... This man has to get out alive, right? ”
Earth Tribulation Star took a breath: "Split the corpse and reload? ”
Being a black bow made him feel too perverted, and the corners of his eyes twitched: "You can't be serious, right?" ”
Bai Yu said calmly: "A total of three days, three meals a day, nine times...... Enough to take a corpse out. ”
Long Jianquan's gaze suddenly deepened, like a bottomless well, he stared at the food box, came back to his senses after a long time, and asked: "This is not right with what you said, if Ao Xuanyue is pursuing death, why should she go to great lengths to create her disappearance?" ”
Bai Yu agreed with this statement: "Yes, as you said, if it was for death in the first place, then there is no need to disappear, so her disappearance is not to die, but to make people think she is dead." ”
Long Jianquan's breathing was faint and inaudible: "So what? ”
Bai Yu's words changed abruptly: "So she is not missing." ”
Long Jianquan asked, "If she didn't go missing, where was she?" ”
"Right now, right now, right here."
Bai Yu's eyes fell on the young man sitting in the shadows like a torch, as if he could see through his disguise and penetrate deep into his soul: "Hello, Ao Xuanyue." ”
