Longevity: Starting From Getting Down The Mountain And Marrying A Wife

Chapter 129: Prove Your Identity Motive

Tensions build throughout Azure Sun City.

Bai Siyuan led the monks of the guest houses to visit each guest house one by one for routine inquiries.

The City Lord's Mansion dispatched 5,000 government troops and city guards to strengthen patrols in the city, and prepared to announce that starting from the next day, people entering and leaving the city will conduct interrogation.

At least the superficial work is in place.

As for Zhongfu, after hearing the news of Shen Lanxin's fall, all the monks were in an uproar and discussed a lot.

At first, I envied Zhong Yan for joining the Changning Foundation Building family, but it turned out to be a disaster. Some people regretted it, and some secretly gloated.

But for the Zhongfu to let everyone prove their innocence, no one objected, on the contrary they were very cooperative, and they were all eager to get rid of the relationship.

Ask each one individually.

Qi Refining below the sixth floor, simple inquiry, difficult to have the ability to commit crimes.

Qi Refining has more than six layers, and multiple questions are confirmed.

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

Including the suspected target of Zhong Yan's suspicion - 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 time to commit the crime—the foundation building had a peak cultivation of the fourth floor, and there was no need to use any speed-type talismans, so there was more than enough time.

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

However, when Liu Chengyang looked at her suspiciously and asked about her cultivation, she completely revealed her identity.

"I come from the Seventh Peak of Fire Cloud Sect. I came to Qingyang before your Shen family. I have no intersection with the Shen family before, and I have no motive for committing the crime."

Pei Nanjin took out his identity token.

Can't hide it.

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

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

"Fire Cloud Sect Seven Peaks?"

Surprised and frightened, Liu Chengyang examined the meeting token carefully. Although he had never seen it before, he could not fake it.

After pondering for a while, he returned the token to Pei Nanjin with both hands, and solemnly bowed his hands: "Young Liu Chengyang has seen Senior Pei! Please forgive me, senior. Dare to ask senior what is the reason for coming to Qingyang this time?"

"Uncle Zhong, please forgive me, I didn't reveal my identity earlier."

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

"This matter was a misunderstanding. Before the Master left, he had earnestly asked my disciples to take care of Uncle Zhong. When I learned that someone was investigating Uncle Zhong in the sect, I thought it was trouble, so I made this trip on purpose."

Uncle Zhong... Liu Chengyang was shocked again, "This junior has offended me so much, the murderer can't be Senior Pei."

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

"..."

It lasted until the next day, when all the monks in Zhongfu could find more than three alibi.

Things are on hold for now.

Liu Chengyang needs to ask Changning for instructions.

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 leave and no longer participate in the election, a hundred of them neatly.

If the Lingshi hadn't been collected in advance, even Wu Yang and the other seven 'fake guests' would have withdrawn, fearing that they would be implicated.

Especially Chen Wanmiao, regretting it to death.

When Zhong Yan explained her mission, she didn't specify the specific reason. Later, when she learned of Shen Lanxin's fall, she even guessed that it was the secret hand of Zhong Fu.

Zhong Yan could understand the reactions of the monks, and temporarily asked them to stay for three more days, waiting for Changning's reply.

The side hall of the first courtyard.

Several important figures from Zhongfu were present.

Yu Qingyao worried: "Husband, Shen Nanfeng was a disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect Five Peaks, so he should know how to search for souls. What if Xiaotao goes back and is searched for souls?"

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

Zhong Yan frowned in thought.

This is not what I thought about.

but the murderer.

He guessed in his heart that the possibility of Pei Nanjin committing the crime was more than 70%.

There are hundreds of attics and thousands of rooms in the small courtyard of Zhongfu. How could the so-called 'Demonic Cultivator who sneaked into the mansion' find the sixth 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 be rude to enter the inner compound without permission.

As for the other newcomer 'Zhen Rong', he asked Yu Qingyao to kill him.

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

After a long time, Zhong Yan shook his head and said: "There is no need to worry about the Shen family. Although Shen Lanxin died in the Zhong Mansion, as long as we are not the real murderer, there is no big responsibility. ability."

"If the maid tells everything, it will prove that this matter has nothing to do with us."

"And if she doesn't say it, then the conflict will be transferred to the Demonic Cultivator and the guard, either way."

As Zhong Yan said, he added in his heart - how could she be allowed to return to Changning.

Everyone suddenly nodded.

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

Although he obeyed Zhong Yan's arrangement, he was still a little reluctant to keep him when everyone went to Changning. If they want to go together, it is best to stay.

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

Speaking of this, Zhong Yan was still a little annoyed that he was fooled by Shen Lanxin.

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

Although the Shen family possessed a second-level high-grade spiritual vein, they could cut out a small piece of it as a first-level spiritual vein, but doing so would cause great damage to the spiritual vein, and Shen Nanfeng would never do this.

Can only find another.

But the spirit vein is so easy to get.

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

"Need not."

...

the other side.

The members of the Shen family gathered together to discuss.

A group of fifteen people came, and now there are only ten left.

Shen Lanxin fell, a monk maid and two maids who lived in the "Taihe Inn" also died, and Shen Lanxin's best friend disappeared—of course Zhong Yan arranged for Chen Wanmiao and Gu Baiyu to do it.

The purpose of killing maids and servant girls is to wipe out the possible alibi of the concubine.

One person asked: "Captain Liu, what should we do now? Could it be that Ge Qing did it?"

One person said: "I asked the shopkeeper and the waiter, but I didn't see the exact time when Ge Qing left the inn, but the time when the three of them died was similar to Miss."

Another person said: "How can ordinary people see him doing that kind of thing? He can hide it with an invisibility talisman. Taihe Inn is not far from here, and it is in time, but can Ge Qing kill Miss? Could it be? Any accomplices?"

You speak and I speak, and analyze for a while.

Liu Chengyang looked at Xiaotao and asked, "What do you think?"

Xiaotao said: "If Miss is not paying attention, he can do it based on the relationship between them, and he knows that Miss's storage bag has a lot of resources. In addition, Miss is determined to marry into the Zhong family, and in the future completely sever those previous relationships. I mentioned it to Ge Qing by subpoena."

Someone said: "So, he felt that he would not be able to benefit from the lady in the future, so he robbed the resources and completely left the Shen family and flew away?"

The other person looked at Xiaotao with flickering eyes: "Perhaps, it is more likely to worry about the young lady's silence, and it is better to act first!"

Xiaotao looked at everyone's faces and said, "Miss didn't say so clearly."

Express words, implication, thought.

Xiaotao said again: "By the way, Miss asked me to send a message to Xiaoli to come to Zhongfu tomorrow, and they also know where Missy lives. Could it be that the Demonic Cultivator in the city happened to kill Xiaoli and the others, and after learning of the news, they took advantage of the Zhongfu Gathering, sneaking in in disguise, decisively looking for it?"

"This... is also possible."

a long time.

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