Volume 3: Evil Ghosts Eat People Chapter 192: The Mystery of Bones (Part 1)
"Is this... so serious?"
When Li Yuner heard what Xu Zun said, she felt confused and looked at Xu Zun in surprise.
Although Li Ronger's suspicion is getting smaller and smaller, in everyone's opinion, even if Li Ronger is not the murderer who killed Jiao Chengtong and Ma Xin, the murderer's purpose is just to provoke a fight among the three gangs.
No one could have imagined what Xu Zun was thinking, not even Zhao Yu and Huo Anu.
Only then did Xu Zun realize that he had spoken out of turn and quickly stopped speculating.
"No!" At this moment, Zhuang Jingcheng stood up again and said, "Xu Tixing, I admit that what you said does make sense. Li Ronger's killing of our elder is indeed suspicious.
"But even so, we can't completely rule out her suspicion, right?
"Your government is focused on finding out the truth and arresting the murderer," Zhuang Jingcheng said, "If you can't give us an explanation today, then even if I, Zhuang, am willing to let the Sanhe Gang go, my disciples from the Zishan Sect will not let them go!"
"Yes, yes..." The elders of Zishan Sect expressed their agreement.
The martial artists of the Tan Gang also nodded frequently, which meant that they would not let it go unless Xu Zun found the real murderer.
"You are really awesome!" Li Yuner said angrily, "Xu Tixing has already said that my sister can't possibly be the murderer, but you still want to embarrass us. I think you are just the thief crying "Catch the thief!"
"This incident might have been caused by your Zishan Sect, humph!"
"You!?" Zhuang Jingcheng frowned, "Little girl, it's not your turn to act wild here!"
"What? You won't even let me speak?" Li Yun'er insisted, saying in front of everyone, "Everyone can see that these elders of Zishan Sect all want to fight for the position of the leader. Now we can get rid of the acting leader and push the position onto our Sanhe Gang. It's really killing two birds with one stone!
"Everyone, open your eyes. The real culprit might be among these elders!"
"Yoona, shut up!" Li Ronger shouted, but she started coughing violently because of her injury.
"What an unruly little girl," Zhuang Jingcheng said angrily, drawing his sword, "If I don't teach you a lesson today, do you still think that our Zishan Sect is easy to bully?"
After saying that, he stabbed Li Yoona with his sword!
Li Yuner had fought with Zhuang Jingcheng before, and was no match for Zhuang Jingcheng at all. If this sword hit her, Li Yuner's life would be over.
Swish…
Fortunately, Huo Anu arrived in time, opened his iron umbrella, and blocked Zhuang Jingcheng's sword.
As the saying goes, when masters fight, the outcome can be seen with just one move.
After blocking the long sword, Huo Anu felt the iron umbrella vibrate and his knuckles tremble, which was enough to show that Zhuang Jingong was very powerful and he was obviously inferior to him.
This is probably because Zhuang Jingcheng did not try his best. If he had tried his best, he would have had a hard time being his opponent.
"Elder Zhuang," Xu Zun frowned and shouted, "I don't understand, now that you already know the murderer's purpose, why are you still thinking about killing each other?
"You keep saying that she is just a little girl, but you are so fussy about even a little girl. How can you be called a leader of a faction?"
"You..." Zhuang Jingcheng's face turned red from holding it in.
"Could it be that the little girl is right?" Xu Zun continued to persuade her, "Let me ask you, where were you when the bloody incident happened in Guanlan Palace?"
Xu Zun asked this question so suddenly because he actually wanted to change the subject quickly and prevent any more conflicts between the three gangs.
"I am discussing with other elders in the Purple Gold Hall," Zhuang Jingcheng was fooled and pointed behind him, saying, "All the elders can testify for me!"
"Yes, yes..." The elders nodded in unison.
In fact, Zhuang Jingcheng was not really fooled, but just took advantage of the situation. He also felt that if he continued to argue with Li Yuner, it would indeed arouse suspicion from others.
It doesn't matter if others suspect him, what he fears most are the disciples and elders of his own sect.
Now that the great elder Jiao Chengtong is dead, I, as the second elder, am undoubtedly the best candidate for the head of the sect. I should be more cautious.
"Okay..." Xu Zun turned around and asked the Tan Gang martial artist, "What about you guys?"
"They are all in the front hall!" the leading martial artist replied, "Don't doubt us. We abide by the rules of the Zishan Sect and none of us has ever left the front yard."
"Let me ask you something," Xu Zun turned to Hua Xianyun and asked, "Apart from the leader of the Hua Shi Gang, are there any other powerful masters in your gang?"
"Yes!" Unexpectedly, Hua Xianyun, who was also young, answered without hesitation, "My brother's martial arts skills are better than my father's!"
"Young Gang Leader..." The martial artists realized something was wrong, but it was too late to stop it.
"..." Xu Zun was speechless for two seconds, then asked, "Your brother ? How old are you this year?"
"I'm seventeen," Hua Xianyun replied, "My brother is also seventeen, we are twins!"
"Master Xu, everyone, I'm sorry," the leading martial artist hurriedly explained, "We've strayed off topic! The second son of my Flower Corpse Clan leader is studying martial arts at the Bihai Palace in Shuzhou, and he's not in Yonghui at all."
After saying that, he quickly pulled Hua Xianyun behind him.
ah……
However, when everyone heard the three words "Bi Hai Palace", they all exclaimed in unison.
Someone in the back was whispering, "Really? Did I hear it right? Bi Hai Gong, could it be that he is a disciple of Bi Hai Zhenren…"
call……
Xu Zun frowned. He could guess without asking that this "Bi Hai Palace" must be another name similar to "Yue Jinglei", right?
Unexpectedly, as my horizons broadened, I gradually discovered that this "great mystery" is indeed a bit "mysterious".
"Okay, okay!" Xu Zun stood in the middle of the crowd, waved his hands and said, "In this case, I won't waste any more time. Let's solve this case quickly so that we can go home!"
"What!?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Even Zhao Yu and others looked at him in surprise.
"Ahem..." Li Ronger coughed several times and asked doubtfully, "Master Xu, do you really know who the murderer is?"
"I didn't know it just now, but now I almost understand it!" Xu Zun turned to Zhuang Jingcheng and said, "Elder Zhuang, as the saying goes, no matter how things change, they still remain based on the truth. The deaths of the elder and the leader of the Ma Gang are nothing more than related to the evil ghost case!"
Evil ghost...
Zhuang Jingcheng frowned and asked, "You mean this murderer is also the murderer of the evil ghost case, but... the evil ghost case..."
"Why..." Xu Zun smiled slightly, "You don't want to say that the evil ghost case was really done by an evil ghost, right?"
"This..." Zhuang Jingcheng was even more confused and asked, "Isn't it?"
"Yes," an elder said from the back, "We saw with our own eyes that the gang leader entered the secret room to practice. The secret room had no exit, so it could only be opened from the inside, and in the end he broke through the stone door to get in!
"But after we went in, we saw the corpse of the Sect Leader, and no one else. If this wasn't done by a ghost, could it be done by a human?"
"Also," said another elder, "we also saw with our own eyes that a disciple picked up a scale and his finger was devoured into bones in an instant. This... could this be man-made?"
"Haha... yes," Xu Zun smiled and nodded, "What you said is indeed very right. From every detail, it is inexplicable. It feels like this white bone case was definitely not caused by human hands.
"But if you put all these details together, it's a different story!"
"Then..." Zhuang Jingcheng asked anxiously, "Did you find anything? What exactly happened? Your investigation...isn't it not yet completed?"
"It doesn't matter," Xu Zun put away his smile and said seriously, "The reason why I insisted on holding this Purple Mountain Alliance in Yongxing Fort is because I know that among all the evil ghost murders, only the bone mystery case of your leader Wanqi is the easiest to solve..."
