Volume 3: Evil Ghosts Eat People Chapter 191: Evil Intentions
The Guanlan Hall was packed with people, but there was no noise. Instead, everyone was looking at Xu Zun who was in the center of the hall.
The people in the back row stood on tiptoe for fear of not being able to see what was going on inside.
At this moment, after carefully examining the bodies of Jiao Chengtong and Ma Xin, Xu Zun said to everyone:
"The elder had four wounds on his body, the most fatal of which was a stab to his heart, killing him instantly! The leader of the Ma Gang had three wounds on his body, the fatal one being in his throat."
After saying that, Xu Zun stood up and analyzed: "From the surface, there are no signs of struggle between the two. Therefore, there are only two possibilities for their murder!"
"Which two?" someone in the crowd asked.
"One possibility is that the murderer is an extremely skilled martial artist and his moves were extremely fast!" Zhuang Jingcheng seemed to have realized something and took over Xu Zun's words, saying on the spot, "The other possibility is that the murderer is someone they know, and the two of them were completely unprepared, so they were assassinated on the spot! But..."
Zhuang Jingcheng knew Jiao Chengtong's abilities very well and had seen Li Ronger in action before. He had a vague feeling that unless Li Ronger's martial arts skills improved further, even if she succeeded in a sneak attack on Jiao Chengtong, there would be no way she could leave Jiao Chengtong without even a chance to fight back.
Zhuang Jingcheng could understand it, but others did not. Immediately, other elders pointed at Li Ronger and said:
"Isn't it the same? Our Great Elder didn't know Li Rong'er would kill him, so he was caught off guard and was ambushed by her!"
"Okay," Xu Zun said, "Since everyone has suspicions, let's just reconstruct the scene. If Li Rong'er lied, then shouldn't the scene be like this?"
As he spoke, Xu Zun motioned Zhao Yu and others to come closer and demonstrate with him.
"First of all," Xu Zun said, "the elder and Ma Gang leader are discussing something with Li Ronger. Since they are discussing something, they should naturally talk face to face."
While speaking, Zhao Yu and Huo Anu consciously stood in front of Xu Zun, pretending to be Jiao Chengtong and Ma Xin.
Xu Zun is playing the role of Li Ronger.
"At this time, Li Ronger suddenly got angry."
Xu Zun pretended to draw out the Emei Spear and stabbed Zhao Yu and the other two respectively. Zhao Yu and the other two then cooperated in the act and pretended to be stabbed by Xu Zun.
"As a result, the elder and the leader of the Ma Gang were assassinated. The elder endured the severe pain and slapped Li Ronger, causing her to knock the incense burner away and get injured."
"It's not a palm..." Li Ronger corrected, "It's a fist!"
"Okay, Li Ronger was hit by a punch," Xu Zun continued to demonstrate, "but the elder was seriously injured and collapsed to the ground.
"At this time, Ling Feng, who had brought Li Rong'er in, saw this and had no choice but to fight with his sword, but was killed by Li Rong'er.
"Immediately afterwards, Li Ronger wanted to flee the scene, but she didn't expect a few more disciples of the Purple Mountain Sect to come in from outside the door, so she simply killed them all.
“Finally he was seen by other disciples, who surrounded him and that’s when the following events happened.
"What do you think?" Xu Zun asked the crowd, "Is the truth I told you reasonable?"
When hearing Xu Zun's question, no one nodded or shook their heads.
Obviously, although everyone felt that Xu Zun was right, they just felt that something was wrong.
"First of all," Xu Zun pointed at the corpse of the Zishan Sect disciple, "this Ling Feng brought Li Ronger into the hall, which means he was also present at the time.
"Then why didn't Li Ronger wait until he left before taking action? What if Ling Feng didn't come up to help, but ran out to call for help?
"Secondly," Xu Zun said, "the elder has a sword hanging from his waist. After being attacked, shouldn't he draw the sword?
"Also, even if the elder didn't have time to draw his sword and punched Li Ronger, then..." Xu Zun pointed at the scene, "Shouldn't his body be placed closer to the incense burner?
"But the fact is that not only was the body of the elder located inside the hall, but he was also lying prone. Think about it, if he really punched Li Ronger, would he have to retreat and lie on the ground and die?
"And the most important thing is," Xu Zun said, "the elder and the leader of the Ma Gang have both been stabbed by the Emei Spear. If the elder could really hit Li Ronger with one more punch, shouldn't there be a mess of blood on the ground?"
After listening to Xu Zun's analysis, the scene fell into silence. There were indeed many suspicious points in this murder scene.
Xu Zun was very good at controlling people's hearts. He deliberately paused for a long time to let everyone calm down and think carefully.
When he had thought it through, he continued:
"Let's think about it from another perspective. The fact that there are no messy bloodstains proves one thing even more," he pointed at the corpse and said, "The elder and leader Ma Xin were killed in one blow!
"Someone used the Emei Spear to accurately and quickly pierce the heart of the elder of the sect, and the throat of the leader of the horse gang!"
"Ah?" Hua Xianyun, the young leader of the Tan Gang, asked, "If he was killed in one blow, why are there so many wounds?"
"What do you think?" Xu Zun asked in an enlightening way.
"The murderer...did it do it on purpose!?" Hua Xianyun said in surprise, "He did this to make the death look more exaggerated, more like it was done by Boss Li!?"
Hua Xianyun was still a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old, but his immature words were more authoritative, causing everyone to immediately change their previous views.
"This... is impossible?" Zhuang Jingcheng said in disbelief. "The elder's martial arts skills are second only to that of Wanqi Gang Leader. Although he is old, who can kill him with one blow?"
"Yes," an elder echoed from behind, "Not to mention it was a double kill, with Gang Leader Ma Xin as well!"
"Yes," Hua Xianyun said in a trembling voice, "Although my uncle Ma's martial arts skills are not as good as my father's, he is also one of the best masters in the gang! Who can kill them so easily?"
"Well, you finally got the point!" Xu Zun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just as we guessed before, judging from the positions where the two died, they were indeed attacked suddenly at close range.
"So," he said, looking at everyone, "this killer must be someone that both the elder and Ma Xin are familiar with, and someone who will not arouse any suspicion from the two."
"Hmm..." Zhuang Jingcheng's body trembled slightly, fear in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Moreover, this person's martial arts skills are extremely high! Who could this person be?"
Seeing the fear in Zhuang Jingcheng's eyes, Xu Zun immediately thought of a name in his mind - Yue Jinglei!
Because Li Ronger had just said it clearly, she was injured by someone's fist, and Yue Jinglei was known as the Hundred-Step Divine Fist.
The so-called Hundred-Step Divine Fist means that you can use your fist to hurt people from a hundred steps away.
Although this sounds quite exaggerated and ridiculous, it is indeed scary enough.
Oh my goodness!
No, could it really be Yue Jinglei, one of the top ten masters of Daxuan, who has come?
"Boss Li," Xu Zun quickly asked Li Ronger, "Did you see clearly who punched you?"
"Too fast!" Li Ronger shook her head, "I only saw a figure, and then I was hit by a fist!"
Depend on……
Xu Zun's heart was beating fast. Why did it seem more and more like Li Ronger's description?
"This man..." Xu Zun murmured, "He was able to kill the elder and Gang Leader Ma with one blow, and then punched Gang Leader Li so hard that Gang Leader Li couldn't even see his true appearance..."
"Yes," an elder asked, "Since this man's martial arts skills are so high, why not just kill Boss Li as well?"
"He did it on purpose," Xu Zun said, "The punch he gave to Boss Li was perfect, not only injuring Boss Li, but also killing the Purple Mountain Sect disciples who rushed in afterwards.
"This way, we can prove that Li Ronger went on a killing spree in Zishan Sect, thus causing a vicious gang fight.
"This person has sinister intentions. He is not only going to deal with your gangs, but probably the entire Yonghui City, and even... my Great Xuan Dynasty!!!"
