Volume 3: Evil Ghosts Eat People Chapter 190: The Gold-engraved Emei Thorn (Part 2)
"this……"
Xu Zun's bizarre behavior made Zhuang Jingcheng and others confused! They stared at each other in confusion.
They were going to kill Li Ronger anyway, so what was the point of Xu Zun suddenly kidnapping Li Ronger? Was he using Li Ronger to threaten everyone ?
"You..." Li Yuner and the others were even more confused. She asked loudly, "Are you crazy? Let my sister go!"
"Lord Xu...you..." Zhao Yu and others were also confused. They didn't know what Xu Zun wanted to do.
However, Zhao Yu and Huo Anu had followed Xu Zun for a long time after all, so they immediately followed closely and protected Xu Zun on both sides.
Xu Zun dragged Li Ronger back into Guanlan Hall and passed among the dead bodies at the door.
The dead bodies fell in a pool of blood, and the blood flowed everywhere, creating a bloody scene.
"Don't move!" Xu Zun shouted, "Don't you trust me? Well, open your eyes and let me solve the case for you. I'll show you what happened just now!"
At this moment, Li Ronger was seriously injured, but she still held the Water-Splitting Emei Spear in her hand, so it would be relatively easy for her to break free from Xu Zun.
However, Li Ronger clearly heard Xu Zun's words "trust me" and knew that Xu Zun was helping her, so she naturally would not resist.
Soon, Li Ronger was dragged to the incense burner by Xu Zun, but saw two corpses lying next to the incense burner, one was Jiao Chengtong and the other was Ma Xin.
Although these two have just taken office as acting leader and acting gang master, they are still the heads of the gang after all.
Seeing the two bodies, the disciples of Zishan Sect and Tan Gang couldn't help but feel sad, and their anger grew even more intense.
"Boss Li," Xu Zun asked Li Ronger loudly, "You said before that when you came in, you didn't see the bodies of these two people, right?"
"Yes," Li Ronger replied, "It was blocked by the incense burner."
"But," Xu Zun gestured at the scene, "it is now clearly visible. It is not blocked by the incense burner, right?"
"Ahem..." Li Ronger replied, "That's because when I was attacked, I bumped into the incense burner and it moved."
After Li Ronger said this, everyone immediately looked towards the incense burner, and saw that the incense burner, which was more than one meter tall, did show obvious signs of movement.
It was previously placed in the center of the hall, but now it has moved nearly half a meter away. Moreover, a large amount of incense ash has fallen near the incense burner, which further confirms that it has moved.
The fact that such a heavy incense burner was knocked so far away shows how severe the attack Li Ronger suffered at that time.
Xu Zun observed the environment and soon saw the body of another Zishan Sect disciple deep in the hall.
But the man was lying on the ground with his back facing the sky. A large amount of blood was oozing out from under his body, and there was a fishy smell in the air.
"This person tried to sneak attack me," Li Rong'er pointed at him and said, "but I killed him instead."
"Elder Zhuang," Xu Zun pointed at the corpse, "Come and identify it. Is this one of yours?"
Zhuang Jingcheng stood there without moving, but at his signal, one of his disciples came closer and turned over the body to identify it.
But the deceased's face was soaked in blood and could not be recognized. The disciple had to wipe the blood off his face with his clothes before he could recognize the man.
" This is Ling Feng, the disciple of Master Wanqi. How... could he..." After confirming the identity of the deceased, Zhuang Jingcheng frowned slightly, as if there was something hidden.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zun asked, "Elder Zhuang, is there something wrong?"
"Ling Feng entered the sect earlier," an elder at the back expressed his doubts, "Logically speaking, he shouldn't be the one to pass on messages and lead the way. This..."
"Let's not talk about this for now," Zhuang Jingcheng pointed his sword at Xu Zun and asked aggressively, "Xu Tixing, what exactly do you want to show us?"
"Don't be anxious," Xu Zun said, "Anyway, the people from the Sanhe Gang can't leave your Zishan Sect today, so why not take some time to find out the truth?
"Everyone," he said loudly, raising his voice, "I suspect that someone is deliberately provoking disputes among the three major gangs with ill intentions.
"Before I find out the truth, everyone present is a suspect. Whoever wants to stop Xu is the most suspicious!"
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other, and the elders looked embarrassed.
What Xu Zun said seemed reasonable, but also very unreasonable. It was obviously a verbal kidnapping, which meant that whoever insisted on taking action now was not a good person!
"Good, good, good!" Zhuang Jingcheng naturally didn't want to be criticized, so he said three good words, put away his sword and said, "Mr. Xu, since you said so, then we will wait and see what you can do!
"It would be fine if we can find out the truth today, but if we can't, no matter if you are an imperial envoy, I will make sure you never return!"
In the entire scene, only the elder from Zishan Sect, Zhuang Jingcheng, was the oldest in terms of seniority and age.
Now that he has put away his sword, others naturally cannot force their way forward.
Even though the Tan Gang disciples wanted to rush over and kill Li Ronger immediately, they had to endure it for the time being.
"Please rest assured," Xu Zun saw that the situation was gradually under control, then he slowly put down the dagger and said, "I have always handled cases impartially and will not be biased towards anyone!
"I'm not trying to excuse Li Ronger now. I just feel that this incident is too strange. We can't let everyone fall into the trap of this sinister villain!"
After saying that, Xu Zun approached Ling Feng's body, took a quick look and said, "I've seen this person before. He should be one of the people guarding the secluded room at that time, right?"
"Yes," Zhuang Jingcheng gave an affirmative answer, "He is the direct disciple of Master Wanqi, so naturally he will protect him."
"Look..." Xu Zun pointed at the corpse and said, "This person is bleeding a lot!"
"Well," Li Ronger nodded and said, "My Emei Spear has a bleeding groove. Once it is pulled out, it will bleed profusely, making the person lose the ability to fight..."
Wow...
Xu Zun looked at Li Ronger's Emei Spear, and then he realized that this Emei Spear was completely different from the Emei Spear he knew in his previous life.
Obviously, Li Ronger's Emei Spear is more lethal.
"Then..." Xu Zun came to the bodies of Jiao Chengtong and Ma Xin again and expressed his doubts, "Although these two also shed a lot of blood, it is obviously not as much as Ling Feng!"
Hearing Xu Zun's words, a man from the Tan Gang stood up and turned Ma Xin over to check his wounds. He saw that Ma Xin had multiple stab wounds on his body, and the wounds did look like those caused by the Emei Spear.
This man's name is Hua Xianyun, and he is the eldest son of the gang leader Hua Shi. However, because he is young, he has always been protected by the gang members.
He came out now to examine the wound, evidently to see if it was consistent.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu understood what Hua Xianyun meant, and he and Huo Anu immediately carried Ling Feng's body to the front, so that the three bodies could be compared.
"Ahem..." Li Ronger said while coughing, "You can see clearly that the elder and the leader of the Ma Gang were not killed by me!"
When everyone looked, it was clear at a glance that Jiao Chengtong and Ma Xin were indeed stabbed by the Emei Spear, but the wounds were just bloody holes, and neither of them were on the aorta.
But Ling Feng's wound was actually a torn bloody hole, and all of them pierced the vital artery, causing heavy bleeding.
Seeing this situation, everyone began to hesitate and suspected that Jiao Chengtong and Ma Xin were not killed by Li Ronger, but were framed by someone.
"No," Unexpectedly, no one else spoke, but Xu Zun shook his head and said, "A wound alone cannot prove anything. We have to restore the crime scene to find out what happened..."
