Chapter 557 Investigation
After the treatment of the Zihe Monument, Jin Ling's internal and external injuries recovered by 80% in just two hours.
Thinking it was almost done, he put away the purple therapy monument, changed into clean clothes, left the underground stone room, and slept peacefully in the inn for a night. The next day, he said goodbye to Langwu and others, and returned to Shanhai Sect.
Not long after leaving Shanhai City, they realized that there were activities of disciples of Shanhai Sect outside the city. They seemed to be searching for something. It seemed that the murder of Liu Yue and others had been sent back to the sect, and the sect had sent disciples down the mountain to search for the murderer.
The closer you get to the sect, the more disciples of Shanhai Sect are now searching for.
Jin Ling looked calm and did not avoid these people. Instead, he took the initiative to ask: "Senior brother, why are there so many disciples of the sects moving at the foot of the mountain?"
The disciples of Shanhai Sect did not doubt him, but said strangely: "Junior brother, you have never heard of such a big thing? This junior brother, you usually turn a blind eye to the things outside the window, but just practice. Since you have come down the mountain, you still don't know about this big thing that was born at the foot of the mountain today?"
Jin Ling looked confused: "I really don't know, please give me advice from my senior brother."
The disciples of Shanhai Sect were surprised, but they still explained to him: "The relatives of the elder Liu, the chief supervisor of the outer sect, Liu Yue, the clerk of the outer sect, and four other disciples of the outer sect, were seen dead outside Shanhai City today. Elder Liu was furious and sent fifteen teams of disciples down the mountain to arrest the murderers."
Jin Ling pretended to be shocked: "What? Liu Wenshu is dead? I am a disciple of Waigen District, and I still know him!" The news was sent back to the sect so quickly, and Liu Mufeng's actions were also very quick.
"That thief is so bold! In my Shanhai Sect's territory, we openly killed five disciples of the sect! This is unprecedented since the establishment of our sect!" The Shanhai Sect's disciple was very angry, "If we catch him, we must peel him off!"
Jin Ling's mind was a little dazed.
"You should go back to the sect quickly," the disciple reminded, "I don't know what the purpose is, whether it is specifically targeting my sect. Outer disciples like you are still a bit dangerous when they are outside."
"Thank you for your reminder, I'll go back to the sect now." Jin Ling said thank you briefly and continued to return to the sect.
After entering the mountain gate, the disciples in the outer gate area not only increased their vigilance, but also showed a different tension on everyone's face.
When we arrived at the mountain road near the outer gate area, we saw a long team in front of us carrying five stretchers and slowly moving forward. There were corpses on each stretcher. I glanced at it casually and saw that the deceased were Liu Yue and five others.
Jin Ling pretended to be calm and followed the team with some other disciples up the mountain. The disciples carrying stretchers did not realize that something was different.
"You guys, who did you do such a ruthless hand?" a disciple carrying a stretcher whispered.
Another said: "Liu Yue is greedy for money and lust, and has many grudges. The outer disciples are full of complaints. There are many who have been bullied by him. Over the years, some disciples have even been forced to death by him or ended up in an extremely miserable end. If you talk about enemies, there are many enemies."
"Although there are many enemies, everyone is concerned about Elder Liu Mufeng's power and dares not speak out. I wonder who is so bold?"
"It may not be the enemy within the sect. He went down the mountain, and there were many strong people in Shanhai City, and others were not from this sect, so he was not accustomed to these bad habits. Or he was killed by enemies outside the sect."
"It would be fine if you kill Liu Yue, after all, he is a guy who is extremely unpleasant from the outside world. But what kind of resentment do the other four people have?"
"Look, it's probably killing people to silence me."
......
The disciples were talking, and all these words fell into Jin Ling's ears.
After entering the outer door, these disciples carried the deceased to handle the funeral, while Jin Ling returned to the firewood team. As soon as he entered the residence, Qian Dong, a little fat man in the same room, hugged him, covered his mouth and dragged him to the inner room, and then carefully closed the door.
"What's wrong? Little fat?" Jin Ling asked.
"What's wrong? Don't you know what's wrong?" Qian Dong lowered his voice and said angrily, "You are too brave! Tell me, did you do this?"
The little fat man actually guessed that he did this? It seems that he is quite smart too.
"Okay, I understand." Seeing that Jin Ling was just looking at him and did not deny, the little fat man let go of his hand and looked worried, "I knew it was you. I went down the mountain, and saw Liu Yue and the other five following you. They had a grudge against you, but at that time they didn't expect that they would be unfavorable to you, so they were busy with their own efforts. Unexpectedly, they would have such a big deal, and they actually wanted to harm you."
They wanted to harm me, not a day or two, once or twice. Jin Ling thought to himself.
"Because you had a grudge against you, after the news of Liu Yue and the others' death came, Elder Liu also told me to ask me. But I said, with your strength, how could you kill Liu Yue who is stronger than you in one fell swoop? Besides, there are four other people on the side, which is impossible." Qian Dong said, "They thought about it and thought it was impossible, so they didn't put you in the doubtful object."
No wonder, since he entered the outer door, although someone looked at him twice, he did not interrogate the young man who had injured Liu Yue with one move.
It turned out that it was because of its strength that I had been ruled out.
It seems that sometimes it is useful to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger without showing your true strength.
The two were talking, and the team leader Lin Zheng knocked outside. After coming in, his expression was as nervous as Qian Dong at the beginning.
"I'm back? It's going well all the way." Lin Zheng asked.
"Don't worry, team leader, I'm fine." Jin Ling smiled, "It's just that because of Liu Yue Wenshu and the others' death, the disciples of the sect along the way were a little nervous."
"How can you not be nervous? This is the first time that the disciples of the sect have suffered such heavy losses in the foot of the mountain in recent years." Lin Zheng obviously did not put his suspicion on Jin Ling. "However, because you had a marriage with Liu Yue and had a fight, it is inevitable that someone will come to you to ask questions these days. You have to deal with it well and never make people suspicious. To be honest, Elder Liu Mufeng is a little bit sceptical."
As he said that, he couldn't help but suffer a little.
"Thank you for the reminder of the team leader, I will be careful." Jin Ling said.
On the afternoon of the afternoon when Jin Ling returned to the sect, it was true that someone rumored that he went to the Punishment Hall in Waigen District for questions. After arriving, all the supervisors of Waigen District were there, and Elder Liu Mufeng was also there, sitting in the middle of the lobby of the Punishment Hall.
Feng Ruohan and Wen Sheng were also there, and when Jin Ling first entered, he winked at him, meaning he had to deal with it carefully.
"Jin Ling." An elder with a long beard spoke, "I am Ma Ruihua, the elder of the Punishment Hall of Waigen District. Now I am ordered to investigate the murder of the five clerks of this district, Liu Yue and Zhong Zhixin, at the foot of the mountain. As one of the suspects, you are now going to be tried in public. Do you understand?"
Already thought that such a thing would happen, Jin Ling faced it calmly, and replied, "Disciple understand."
"Okay." Ma Ruihua cleared his throat, "Then, we'll start. Now, please tell everyone about the conflict with Liu Yue's documentary a few days ago."
Jin Ling told him about the conflict with Liu Yue that day, and naturally he chose what was beneficial to him.
There were two disciples from the sect who were on the side of the sect and recorded his words without missing a word.
"Please tell me all the things you have gone down the mountain yesterday to today." Ma Ruihua said again.
