Chapter 746 Nothing Found
"There is no real evidence now, so we can't make any conclusions casually." Xiao Chen said with a bitter smile. Without real evidence, even if Ren Qiu Shui did it, there is nothing they can do.
Qin Tianyue said: "Brother Xiao Chen, this Ren Qiushui is arrogant and unruly. He doesn't care about others at all. He ordered his men to take action. He must have a guilty conscience. It is rare for Miss Dantong to be slandered, so he naturally shirks all the responsibilities." To Miss Dantong.”
Feng Ming agreed: "What Commander Tianyue said is not unreasonable. Ren Qiushui must be suspicious."
"It's a pity that there is no conclusive evidence. Even if he does it and he doesn't admit it, we can't do anything, so it's better to find conclusive evidence." Xiao Chen said with a smile. Although he felt that Ren Qiushui was suspicious, he still had to rely on evidence.
Without any evidence, randomly naming Ren Qiu Shui as the thief would probably bring trouble to the Liuli Palace, and Xiao Chen would be in trouble by then. Xiao Chen didn't want to investigate the matter and bring trouble to the big forces.
Having said this, Xiao Chen asked again: "Where is this Gao Jianfeng?"
"Gao Jianfeng is the young master of Xueluo City. He was in the Ghost Queen period. He is gentle, humble and polite. He rarely interacted with him before. He got acquainted with the young city master three years ago and has a good relationship." Feng Ming explained that the last two people, Feng Ming Ming also told them one by one.
"Among these five people, except for Ren Qiushui, who is the most suspected, the others are not." Wu Hao frowned and said: "It seems that this matter must be related to Ren Qiushui."
Xiao Chen frowned and said: "Among these five people, there is suspicion, but there is no suspicion, or one of the followers is greedy."
"Both are suspected, but no one is suspected? Xiao Chen, what does this mean?" Yi Dantong asked confused, unable to understand.
Xiao Chen glanced at Yi Dantong and said with a smile: "Among these five people, each has a good background and has power. Although the fifth-grade pill is very tempting, it is not impossible for them to obtain it. Why steal it? But only They know where the young city master placed the elixirs, so I said that they are all suspected, but there is no suspicion at all."
"What about Ren Qiushui?" Qin Tianyue asked.
"Even if Ren Qiushui is arrogant, it is not necessarily him. He ordered his men to take action, perhaps to prove that Liuli Palace is powerful and is not afraid of other forces, but it cannot be ruled out." Xiao Chen said with a smile, from the five people's There is nothing suspicious about his character.
"Since we can't confirm it, how can we check it?" Wu Hao asked, not knowing where to start.
"First spread the word that we are investigating the theft of the elixir. This may lead to the thief. That's all for today.
We will check after the banquet. I have to keep these five people temporarily. I want to meet them one by one. Xiao Chen said with a smile, his face was not anxious at all, and he seemed to have thought of a way.
"Xiao Chen, are you saying that if the thief learns that you are investigating this matter, he will probably deal with you secretly?" Qin Tian also guessed and asked.
Xiao Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, only the dead can do it if you don't want to be found out by others and can protect the truth forever, so the thieves will definitely come to deal with me, and they also want to kill people to silence me."
"What? Kill people and silence them? Aren't we in danger?" Huo Yun's expression suddenly changed, and he was secretly worried.
"There is definitely a danger, but it must be found out, so let's lure the snake out of the hole and spread the word about the theft investigation first. After I meet the five young masters tomorrow, we will leave the Ghost Fire City." Xiao Chen said with a mysterious smile. .
Under Qin Tianyue's arrangement, Xiao Chen and the three of them went back to their rooms to rest, and Qin Tianyue also spread the news about Xiao Chen's investigation that day.
The wedding banquet ended on the same day, and the people who came to congratulate them dispersed. However, many people stayed to see who stole the elixir. At the invitation of Protector Feng Ming, Ren Qiushui and other five young men The master and his followers stayed in the Ghost Fire City.
In the room where Xiao Chen was, the little fox sent a message and asked: "Master, which one do you think it is?"
"Do I need to say it? Of course it was Ren Qiushui." Ancient White Tiger said, agreeing with Huo Yun that it was Ren Qiushui who did it.
Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Ren Qiushui is indeed the most suspicious, but we can't confirm that it was him. Everything depends on the evidence. After all, they have a lot of background. They can't slander others casually, otherwise they will be killed."
After a pause, Xiao Chen continued: "Protector Feng Ming's understanding of these five people is only superficial. Protector Feng Ming doesn't know their true faces. Maybe he will be able to see some clues tomorrow."
"Young City Master must be mad. It's a rare wedding day, but something like this happened, causing the wedding to be delayed, unable to go to the church to get married, and having to choose another auspicious day." The ancient white tiger said with a smile.
In another room, Ren Qiushui said to himself: "Who is this Xiao Chen? I have never seen him before, nor heard of him. I can't find out the depth of his cultivation today. He is really a mysterious guy. , where did you invite Protector Feng Ming from? Can he really find out?"
"Coming in to investigate the case at such a young age is really overestimating one's capabilities." In another room, Liu Yuesong said with a smile, not believing that Xiao Chen could find out the thief.
The young masters of other rooms were also guessing about Xiao Chen.
One night passed in the blink of an eye, and the next morning, Xiao Chen woke up from his practice and said with a faint smile: "With the power of chaos, I can absorb the aura power of the ghost world. After transformation, it can also provide me with immortal energy to practice. It's not bad." .”
Having said this, Xiao Chen stood up slowly, stretched out, his whole body crackled, and said with a smile: "It's so comfortable! Hey, it's time to meet these big shots! Let's start with Ren Qiushui."
Among the five, Gao Jianfeng, Liu Yuesong, Kong Chengtian, and Zhao Taiyu were relatively low-key. Only Ren Qiushui was the most arrogant and the most suspicious, so Xiao Chen naturally started with him first.
Xiao Chen came to the door of Ren Qiushui's room alone, knocked on the door, and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, I have something to ask the young hall master for advice."
"Xiao Chen?" Inside the house, Ren Qiushui was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, and then said arrogantly: "Come in yourself."
"Crunch!"
Xiao Chen slowly pushed the door open with a creak and then entered the room. Ren Qiu Shui woke up from her practice and stood up slowly without even looking at Xiao Chen. She did not take Xiao Chen seriously at all.
Ren Qiushui sat down, poured a cup of tea, and said impatiently: "What do you want from me? Tell me, no need to beat around the bush, no nonsense."
"Young Palace Master is really happy." Xiao Chen said with a smile: "I wonder what Young Palace Master thinks about the theft of the elixir? Where was the Young Palace Master when the elixir was stolen yesterday?"
Hearing this, Ren Qiushui just picked up the tea cup and wanted to take a sip, then put it down and sneered: "Xiao Chen, it turns out you suspected that I was the one who stole it."
"It's strange that there is no elixir aura on Ren Qiu Shui. Could it be that he hid it on purpose?" Xiao Chen wondered in his heart, but he smiled slightly and said: "This is just an investigation. I hope you don't mind, young palace master." .”
"Xiao Chen, yesterday I was always by Yun Fan's side and never left even half a step away. My subordinates have also been following me. Many people can testify. Just ask anyone and you will know. Let me tell you the truth. As long as you can find evidence to prove that I stole it, I will let you do whatever you want, but if you dare to slander me, you will know the consequences yourself." Ren Qiushui sneered, not afraid of Xiao Chen investigating him.
"Xiao Chen, this guy is really arrogant!" The ancient white tiger said in a message.
"Haha, if it is found that you stole it, I won't be polite to you." Xiao Chen smiled and said, not afraid of Ren Qiushui. His cultivation level is only the middle stage of Ghost Emperor, which is the same as Xiao Chen's cultivation level.
With the same cultivation level, Xiao Chen has never been afraid of anyone, and he has never been defeated by an enemy with the same cultivation level.
Hearing this, Ren Qiushui found Xiao Chen more and more interesting. He sneered and said, "Xiao Chen, I'm very curious about your cultivation level. If you dare to challenge me, you should know that I am the Young Master of Liuli Palace."
"So what? Don't forget that it was your order that injured Dantong. The Lord of Rakshasa Palace said that Liuli Palace will not let this matter go until he gives him an explanation. If the person who stole it is really you, you Do you think Liuli Palace is the rival of Rakshasa Palace and Ghost Fire City?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, his face was calm and there was no emotion at all.
Ren Qiushui sneered and said: "It turns out that you and the Rakshasa Palace are in the same group, but you have done nothing wrong. You are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. I won't worry about the affairs of the Rakshasa Palace. If you insist on getting in, you can't do anything wrong." Don’t blame me for being rude to you.”
"Xiao Chen, this guy is very calm. I don't see anything wrong with him." The ancient white tiger said in a message. He originally wanted to find some clues from Ren Qiushui's conversation, but to his disappointment, he found nothing.
"That depends on your ability. The conversation ends here. I will continue the investigation. I will say goodbye." Xiao Chen smiled lightly, turned around and left. Xiao Chen was not at all concerned about Qiu Shui's threats.
Seeing Xiao Chen leave, Ren Qiu Shui's face turned gloomy instantly, and he said angrily: "Xiao Chen, you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
Xiao Chen returned to the main city hall, and the city lord Yun Qinghong quickly asked: "Brother Xiao Chen, have you discovered anything?"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "No, although Ren Qiushui is arrogant, from the conversation with him, we can't see anything he deliberately avoided."
"The biggest suspect is him, but we didn't notice it. Could it be that he wasn't the one who stole it?" Qin Tianyue frowned, feeling secretly disappointed.
Feng Ming said solemnly: "If it wasn't Ren Qiushui, then who would it be?"
"The five of them have good friendships with me. Who would treat me like this?" Yun Fan said angrily, not believing that it was one of the five of them.
"Young City Master, don't worry. There are still four people. I will question them one by one." Xiao Chen smiled and guessed in his mind who of the remaining four people was the most suspicious.
"Xiao Chen, who are you going to find next?" Wu Hao asked.
"Zhao Taiyu, I heard from Protector Feng Ming that Zhao Taiyu had some minor conflicts with the young city lord and even had a big fight. This can also be concluded that Zhao Taiyu may have stolen the elixir to retaliate against the young city lord." Xiao Chen smiled and started from all the suspicious places. Check it, you can definitely find it out.
