Chapter 858: The Domineering Chief Constable (Second Update)
The scorching air flow seemed to freeze, distorting the light. The tables and chairs in the living room were dry and dehydrated, presenting a state that could be ignited at any time.
Zhang Baili, the grand master, had an astonishing aura, but Meng Qi seemed completely unaware of it. Not only did he not react with anger, but he was like a spring breeze. This is where the responsibility lies, so we have to check it out, right?”
Zhang Baili only felt that the other party was nothing, and his own aura was hitting the empty space. He felt indescribably uncomfortable, and he suddenly understood in his heart that "Crazy Sword" was really a Grand Master level figure, and he had already become a master with himself and other masters. Differences in levels.
His momentum was frustrated and he was not justified. Zhang Baili did not dare to forcefully expel Meng Qi, lest he become the target of other families, so he could only say with a straight face:
"Then please ask Mr. Su to investigate the case as soon as possible and clear the name of the Zhang family in Longnan."
Upon seeing this, Liu Shengming exited the living room and summoned nearby spies, including some people lurking in the Zhang family. After this time, they would change their duties.
Meng Qi cast his gaze towards Zhang Yu: "Bring Feng Zheng's body and the senior Zhang family member you mentioned."
The panic on Zhang Yu's expression did not seem to be false, and he said solemnly: "The chief arrester will wait a moment."
After he exited the living room, Meng Qi put his hands behind his back and walked to the window, looking at the pond full of carp corpses with deep eyes, as if admiring the scenery, and never looked at Zhang Baili again.
Being sent by his family to serve as the Councilor of the Political Hall, Zhang Baili looked rough like a bear, but he himself was a very powerful person in the city. At this time, he calmed down his anger, walked to Meng Qi, looked at the pond, and sighed. : "Is Feng Zheng involved in the emperor's death?"
Without waiting for Meng Qi's answer, he thought to himself: "There is no good place for him to die, but he died in our Zhang Mansion. It is self-evident that he wanted to frame the blame."
The implication is that if Zhang from Longnan is the instigator behind the scenes, silencing important witnesses at home is tantamount to actively exposing him!
"Feng Zheng, who you took away first, is not the reason for the new clues that I just got, and it is not logical that he would be silenced because of it. Moreover, there were many opportunities for silence to be silenced in the chaos of the past few days." Meng Qi still didn't look at Zhang Baili, feeling it calmly. His mood changes.
A little panicked and scared!
Hearing this, Zhang Baili breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The chief arrester is smart and can see right away that someone is blaming our Longnan Zhang family."
Unconsciously, he seemed to be a head shorter than Meng Qi.
Meng Qi turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at him with a smile: "But there is something that I am very curious about. Why don't you just go to the palace for torture instead of bringing the person to the Zhang family?"
Zhang Baili sighed: "It's our Zhang family's fault. Many of the children are used to being domineering, and they don't take the Six Gates and the imperial court seriously. I don't think there is anything like the Zhang family in Longnan coming to torture in person?"
"I apologize on behalf of the head of the family. Mr. Su will punish Zhang Yu in the same way as Mr. Su."
He admitted his mistake frankly and was extremely sincere, but Meng Qi paused for a moment, something was wrong!
Except for the relatively low-key top families such as the Zhoujun Wang family and the Jiangdong Wang family, other major families who do not regard privileges as normal will reprimand their children for being domineering. They must use this as an excuse to cover up the real reason!
Originally, Meng Qi felt that the Longnan Zhang family would not be stupid enough to silence them in their own home, and suspected that there was something fishy about Feng Zheng's death. The posture he had just made was to prevent the Zhang family from thinking too highly of themselves, pushing back and obstructing the investigation, but now it seems that they really have question.
Thoughts were rolling in his mind, and his face showed no trace. Meng Qi did not answer, and walked around with his hands behind his back, as if he was the master of the Zhang Mansion. He had no aura, and just relied on his name and the identity of the chief catcher. Controlled the situation.
After a while, Zhang Yu and an old man with a maroon face returned together, holding Feng Zheng's body.
"This is Mr. Zhang Benshao, a branch of our Zhang family. He has a relationship with Feng Zheng." Zhang Yu introduced.
Meng Qi took a look and saw that Zhang Benshao's breath was not weak, and there was a scorching sun in his eyes, which was probably the peak of the fourth and fifth heavens. His emotions were restrained without ripples, while Feng Zheng's heart and brain were shattered inch by inch, with no obsession left on his body. There are no other wounds or traces, and it seems to be suicide.
At this moment, Liu Shengming stepped into the living room with a strange man. This man was dressed as Zhang's servant. His eyes were lowered and his brows were furrowed. He was quite old.
As soon as he saw him, Zhang Baili's expression changed, and then he forcibly returned to normal. It might not have been noticed by anyone else, but in front of Meng Qi's Yuanxin Seal, his mood swings were as vivid as fireflies in the night. Such clarity.
"The chief catcher, this secret agent has clues to report." Liu Shengming said with a hand.
Zhang Baili's eyes narrowed, and he retracted his sleeve with his left hand. His fingers wriggled in strange postures. Finally, he flicked his fingers, and an invisible finger light penetrated through the robe and went straight to the servant of the Zhang family.
This dark light seemed to come from the scorching sun outside the universe. It was invisible and extremely difficult to detect. It looked like a curse on the middle finger.
As soon as the fingerlight came out of the robe, Zhang Baili saw Meng Qi's clasped hands parting. With a casual wave of his right sleeve, the fingerlight disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace of fireworks.
"Back to the boss, someone just came out of Zhang Yu's yard and left in a carriage at the back door." The Zhang family servant glanced at Zhang Baili fearfully, but still answered honestly, and described the characteristics and appearance of the carriage in detail. .
Just now? Take a horse-drawn carriage? Is this because he's afraid that his senses will surround the area and he'll be able to detect anything slightly wrong? Meng Qi nodded slightly and understood the reason.
At times like this, normal people’s travels can hide the truth!
Looking back at Zhang Baili, Meng Qi saw that his face was turning green and red, and he was extremely embarrassed.
"The one who left is the one who really wants to see Feng Zheng, right?" Meng Qi asked in a positive tone, and then his face straightened, "I also ask everyone in your house to stay here for the time being and not to go out."
He turned sideways and ordered Liu Shengming: "Take a certain token, recruit the arresters, seal off the area, and no one can enter or leave."
Suddenly, Zhang Baili laughed, and his expression returned to normal: "Mr. Su, Feng Zheng did commit suicide. The person who left was just a guest of my Zhang family in Longnan. He happened to have something to do. When he comes back, the truth will be revealed." If you want to block it, just block it.”
He seemed to have no fear. As long as he was out of Meng Qi's sensing range, with the prosperity of the divine city, the people in the car could blend into the crowd without being noticed, making it difficult to find them!
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant of the Zhang family said: "Commander, Zhang Yu mentioned that Feng Zheng's return home was unusual. My subordinates had been suspicious before, so when they saw the mysterious man covered by a cloak coming out, they A message was sent to nearby spies to pay attention to the whereabouts of the carriage and identify all those who got off. "
Zhang Baili narrowed his eyes and said nothing, which made Meng Qi confirm one thing. The mysterious man was very powerful and could be tracked and targeted by non-secret agents.
"Not bad." He praised the Zhang family's servant, "You can relinquish this position and return to the headquarters to wait for promotion. If something happens to you and your family in the future, someone will ask the Longnan Zhang family to avenge you. Your family If one person dies, one of his family members dies.”
"You!" Zhang Baili, who was thinking about how to take revenge on the traitor, blurted out and glared at Meng Qi.
Meng Qi looked into his eyes with a smile and said calmly: "I am too lazy to investigate who is the real murderer, so if something happens to their family, I will come to you, Longnan Zhang Family. You'd better pray that his family is safe." , or send someone to protect you.”
Domineering, arrogant, arrogant! Similar words popped up in Zhang Baili's heart one after another, and his right hand was shaking slightly with anger, but so many years of experience have long established a golden sign for Meng Qi. He must do what he says, and retaliate when he takes revenge, such as Luo Ju, Crying Old Man, etc. He has proven this with his own life, and judging from himself, Zhang Baili could not have imagined that his family would completely fall out with Kuangdao over such a trivial matter.
Sure enough, under the same conditions, if a domineering person takes advantage, others will unconsciously give in or compromise.
Silent, or could only remain silent. After watching Meng Qi and others leave, Zhang Baili grabbed a vase and threw it to the ground, smashing it into pieces: "Yellow-haired boy, you are really hateful!"
"Captain Chief, do you want to wait for information and pursue the carriage?" Yagyu Shengming asked.
Meng Qi smiled and raised his hands again: "Of course, with the speed of the carriage, it has not left the certain sensing range at this time. As long as it looks like it and has the aura of the Zhang family, it is not difficult to find it."
"Is this okay?" Liu Shengming was stunned. He didn't lock the carriage immediately. There were people coming and going in Shendu, so how could he have noticed it?
This is also where Zhang Baili’s confidence lies.
Meng Qi didn't say anything. He printed the skin with his hand and explored with his right hand, searching for a connection.
I can do it if others can’t!
After a while, Meng Qi took a step and flashed in the air, and Liu Shengming hurriedly followed.
In a few steps, a carriage appeared in Liu Shengming's sight, exactly as Zhang's servant described.
"Is it him?" Meng Qi's slightly confused voice came from Liu Shengming's ears.
who is it? His energy disappeared as soon as he entered the carriage.
As soon as the two of them landed in front of the carriage, a soft voice came from it: "Nephew Su Xian is blocking the road ahead, can you see me if you have anything to do?"
It's him! Liu Shengming's pupils shrank violently. It turned out to be Cui Qingyu, the current head of the Cui family and the master of Zhi Ge Sword!
"I wonder why the Cui family leader got on the Longnan Zhang family's carriage?" At the current state, even facing Cui Qingyu, Meng Qi didn't have the slightest fear and asked calmly.
Cui Qingyu opened the curtain and walked out. No one was inside: "I came back from being a guest at the Zhang family's house. Why can't I take their carriage?"
Meng Qi's face changed slightly, looking a little ugly. He suddenly turned around and left without asking anything.
"The chief arrester, is it Cui Qingyu who tortured Feng Zheng?" Liu Shengming followed and asked in confusion.
"No, but with Cui Qingyu's help, the man has escaped." At this time, Meng Qi's expression was relaxed, completely different from his previous performance, "Don't worry, there is still a chance, we are just waiting."
His tone was confident and his posture was calm, and he seemed to have grasped the key point.
Liu Shengming didn't dare to ask anymore, so he could only say: "Captain Chief, where are we going now?"
"Looking for Concubine Hua," Meng Qi said calmly.
