Chapter 34 The Truth
"You're not dead?" Gongsun couldn't help but ask Hou Qingling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hou Qingling nodded, then looked at Chen Yutian on the side, and asked, "How did you think it was me?"
Chen Yutian smiled slightly: "This is not difficult to say. The murderer in this case is obviously the survivors of Liu Chong's Western Expedition thirty years ago, so it is easy to judge that the murderer should be the one who experienced the events of that year. I'm right, right?"
"Yes, but there were 100,000 people who experienced this back then, how could you think of me?" asked Hou Qingling suspiciously.
"Huh...... Although it is indeed a bit strange to think of a dead person, but the person who experienced the incident thirty years ago, and the person whose martial arts can reach the level of separation from the body, is the only one who was the highest martial arts among all back then, that is, Hou Qingling, the general of Zhonglang. Chen Yutian smiled slightly.
"But the fact that you are dead makes this inference almost impossible to realize. At this moment, I remembered what you said to Mullin when you were in Kobayashi Village. Mullin once said to you that you really didn't die, right?"
Hou Qingling nodded.
Chen Yutian continued: "His words show that the person standing in front of him at that time was a person who had died in his memory, and such a person, coupled with the characteristic of high martial arts, was the only one who was you. So, I began to speculate that you might not be dead. ”
"After figuring this out, all the mysteries are solved. Thirty years ago, you somehow didn't die, crawled out of the grave, and witnessed everything that happened next, and since then, you may have written the names of the seven of them into your revenge list. But for some unknown reason, instead of doing it immediately, you hibernated, and waited until thirty years later to begin your revenge. ”
Hearing this, Hou Qingling sighed softly, nodded and said: "You are right, I did not die back then, but as for why I did not die, I myself do not understand until now, at that time, I was obviously pierced through the heart by Liu Yi's dog thief, but I actually survived, and what is even stranger is that after I came back to life, the internal force in my body disappeared out of thin air all of a sudden." ”
"The internal force disappeared out of thin air?" Huo Yuanji exclaimed.
"Yes, at that time, my internal strength had reached the peak of the world, and I was only half a step away from stepping into the Gang Qi Separation Body, but when I came back to life, my internal strength completely disappeared, and there was nothing left. As Hou Qingling spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, "It is precisely because of this that I did not take revenge back then, but chose to hide it and restore my martial arts first." Unexpectedly, this wait is thirty years. ”
Hou Qingling's words fell, and Chen Yutian was about to speak, but he heard a voice suddenly come from outside the inn room: "That's really the case!"
Hearing this voice, Xue Tianhan subconsciously looked at the door.
That voice was all too familiar to him, because it was the voice of his master, the Ice King.
The others also followed the sound and looked at the door, and saw the Ice King and Yan Zun standing at the door, looking at Hou Qingling in the room with a clear face.
Hou Qingling was looked at with a blank expression.
Seeing that, the Ice King ignored the others, and came directly to Hou Qingling with Yan Zun, and asked, "Little guy, your internal force is the internal force of life and death?"
Hou Qingling didn't know what to do, and nodded subconsciously: "Exactly." ”
The Ice King and Yan Zun nodded at the same time: "That's right, it's really someone from that clan." ”
Everyone listened in a fog, desperately resisting the urge not to ask what that clan was, and trying not to deviate from the topic. But Ling Miaoyin couldn't help but ask: "What is this internal force of life and death? Why is there no record of it in the world's internal force list?"
Hearing this, the two old men smiled incomprehensibly. Apparently there is no explanation!
Everyone had to temporarily retract their hearts and continue to listen to Hou Qingling's story.
Chen Yutian said: "Thirty years later, your strength has recovered, and your primary target for revenge is Liu Chong." ”
Hou Qingling nodded: "Yes, I have really lived in seclusion for thirty years, the time is too long, thirty years, enough to change a lot of things, I don't know if the seven of them are still alive in the past thirty years, let alone where they are, fortunately, Liu Chong was named Ling Yuanhou, this matter was effortlessly inquired by me." ”
"So you went to the Marquis Lingyuan's mansion and prepared to tie Liu Chong out?" asked Chen Gong.
"That's right!" Hou Qingling said, "As for the method of killing the seven of them, I had already thought about it thirty years ago, since those brothers thirty years ago were buried alive, then I would let the seven of them die in the same way." It's a pity that in the end, Liu Chong and Liu Yi still escaped ......"
"When you went to the Marquis Lingyuan's Mansion to investigate, you accidentally found that Liu Yi was in charge of the mansion, so you changed your plan and put Liu Chong, who was originally the first to kill, to be killed last, and you yourself took the opportunity to imprison Liu Yi, changed his appearance into his appearance, and entered the Hou Mansion, right?
Chen Gong glanced at Hou Qingling and said slowly.
A hint of surprise flashed in Hou Qingling's eyes, and he nodded slowly: "That's not bad at all, but how do you know these things?"
On the side, Chen Yutian smiled lightly.
"This incident is also accidental. In the battle of Xiaolin Village, you appeared in front of all of us with Liu Yi's face, and, that afternoon, Liu Yi and Liu Chong disappeared, naturally our eyes attracted him, and even, we thought that Liu Yi was the culprit who kidnapped Liu Chong and created this whole case, but at this time, one of your negligences made us have different ideas. ”
"Oh, negligence?" Hou Qingling asked rhetorically.
Gongsun said: "It's the body that Liu Yi was left at the scene of the crime by you." Although the corpse did die not long ago, some traces of being tied with rope were found in the limbs of Liu Yi's body, and those traces were very new, apparently because they were still tied not long before his death. ”
Hearing this, Hou Qingling's eyes changed suddenly!
"When I heard Gongsun talk about this, I immediately thought that the Liu Yi I saw in Xiaolin Village might not be the real Liu Yi, but the real murderer. It just so happened that we listened to you and Mu Lin in Xiaolin Village, and knew that you had very good disguise skills, so we can conclude from this. In addition, Liu Yinai is a steward and does not know martial arts at all, but the person we saw in Xiaolin Village has the skill of being out of the body. ”
"In addition, Liu Yi was originally a left-hander, but the maid in the Hou Mansion said that he had seen Liu Yi write with his right hand, and this series of things was determined by me that Liu Yi in the Hou Mansion and the Liu Yi we saw in Xiaolin Village were not him, but the murderer Yi was disguised. ”
Chen Yutian looked at Hou Qingling and said slowly.
After hearing this, Hou Qingling involuntarily clapped his hands twice and said with a smile: "Accurate judgment! Reasonable reasoning is really powerful!"
Chen Yutian waved his hand and smiled: "Don't dare to be,"
After that, he continued to ask: "You pretended to be Liu Yi, approached Liu Chong, used the relationship of the Hou Mansion to find out the current location of several other people, and then killed them, right?"
Hou Qingling nodded: "Not bad." Wang Yan, Lin Zhisheng, and Li Qi all learned about the current situation from Liu Chong, and then they were killed, but in addition to the three of them, Tan Wentong and Mu Lin have long ceased to be officials, and they have also cut off contact with Liu Chong, and they can't find them at all, which makes me a little helpless for a while. But fortunately, God helped me, and I met Tan Wentong by chance......"
"So you killed him, and you disguised yourself as him, and you walked the streets, and you met a thief, right?" asked Tatsu Yutian.
"Yes, I originally changed my appearance to Tan Wentong because I heard him say that Mu Lin would enter the city to look for him the next day, but I didn't expect that I met a thief on the way to find him, and then I ran into your ......."
Hou Qingling shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Tatsu Yutian also smiled.
"Speaking of which, it was the first time we met. After that, you meet Mullin and follow him, finding his address. At this point, you know the whereabouts of all the targets, so you kidnapped Liu Chong......"
Speaking of this, Hou Qingling suddenly smiled.
He looked at Chen Yutian and shook his head slightly: "No." ”
Chen Yutian stopped, he looked at Hou Qingling, strange, "No?"
I only heard Hou Qingling smile and said: "Although your reasoning is indeed accurate, but in this matter, you are wrong." ”
Hearing this, Chen Yutian also smiled.
"Oh, yes, I wonder what I'm doing wrong?"
Hou Qingling shook his head: "Liu Chong, I didn't kidnap him, he kidnapped himself by himself, to put it simply, he actually made a golden cicada out of his shell." ”
