After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 26: Solving the Case Incidentally

The story splits into two parts. After Zhang Chi and Tang Feng separated, they met up with the members of the White Tiger Hall and boarded the phoenix carriage.

The so-called phoenix carriage is a combination of a flying Spirit Beast and a carriage. The carriage is also an artifact refining product that can float lightly.

The speed of the phoenix carriage mainly depends on the Spirit Beast. Even the weakest flying Spirit Beast has a speed that is not weaker than a Divine Soul realm cultivator.

The flying Spirit Beast of the Sword Sect, for example, is a giant eagle. The distance from the Ling Shi Cave to the Sword Sect is over 800 miles, and it only took half an hour to fly there.

If Zhang Chi were to fly himself, it would take him two hours.

After calculating the speed and time, Zhang Chi discovered something incredible.

He had only been unconscious for four hours last night, and the round trip would take four hours. This meant that his second personality had been flying at maximum speed the entire time, and the process of stealing was as easy as clocking in and out.

Does this make sense?

Even if the stealing part is removed, Zhang Chi doesn't think he could do it himself.

His True Qi is not enough to allow him to fly for such a long time continuously.

It seems that his second personality is not only powerful in terms of Divine Soul, but also in terms of speed.

Truly worthy of me!

But is it really necessary to go so far just to steal five hundred spirit stones?

When Gu Youyou heard Zhang Chi's complaints, she finally felt relieved.

At least he didn't suspect her.

The reason she ran so far was because Zhang Chi had previously said that rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, so she ran a little further, thinking it would be harder for people to find her. After all, she was fast.

But she didn't expect to leave such a big loophole.

Fortunately, Zhang Chi calculated everything and suspected others, but not himself. If he knew that she had only taken an hour for the round trip, it wouldn't be good.

But her luck was really bad. Last night, she did steal the spirit stones, but at that time, she didn't think she had taken much.

Who knew that the Ling Shi Cave would report such a big theft today.

And according to Zhang Chi's calculations, whether she took action yesterday or not, there would still be a theft today.

Isn't she unlucky?

Otherwise, how could Zhang Chi know where she stole the spirit stones from?

Gu Youyou secretly made up her mind.

Qing Hui and Cao Yan, right? If Zhang Chi can't find the spirit stones this time, I'll kill both of you when I get back!

No wonder they say witches are naive. She never thought that Zhang Chi already knew that his thoughts could be heard by his second personality. He had been criticized when he was thinking about things before.

But if he had a strong desire to hide his thoughts, the second personality wouldn't be able to detect them.

Otherwise, his careful plan of not sleeping yesterday wouldn't be hidden.

Now, Zhang Chi has a new understanding of the strength of his second personality.

Being able to knock out Tang Ruoling with the power of Divine Soul means that she is at least at the Foundation Building stage in terms of Divine Soul strength.

And in terms of speed, she may not be weaker than the Divine Soul realm.

With so much True Qi in his body, he needs at least three hours of hard cultivation.

In other words, his second personality can only act for one hour.

This speed is even faster than the bird under his crotch.

Is he still the second personality?

Could it be that some old monster has possessed him?

Zhang Chi was panicked, but he forcibly suppressed his thoughts.

It's best not to appear too clever when you don't have the ability to change your current situation.

Suppressing all these thoughts, Gu Youyou didn't notice anything unusual.

After arriving at the Ling Shi Cave, everyone got off the phoenix carriage.

There were a total of sixty-two people on this trip, except for Zhang Chi and Elder Chong Ling, all the others were Foundation Building stage cultivators, including the beastmasters who controlled the giant eagle, all of them were Foundation Building stage cultivators.

Elder Chong Ling originally came to take care of Zhang Chi, but he brought so many Foundation Building stage disciples with him to maintain order.

"Vice Hall Master Zhou, you are the main person in charge this time. Have you thought about where to start the investigation?"

Zhou You's face stiffened. He usually just held the title of Vice Hall Master to take credit. This was the first time he led a team and he didn't have any ideas.

But he learned a trick from Elder Chong Xu.

When in doubt, ask Zhang Chi.

Before leaving, Elder Chong Xu had given him some instructions.

Zhang Chi is a person with many ideas. If you can use him well, it can bring you great benefits.

You need to broaden your horizons and make use of talents, not suppress them.

In Elder Chong Xu's eyes, Zhang Chi is not a threat. He is far from being at the level where he needs to be eliminated.

He taught Zhou You like this, of course, to teach him how to take advantage of Zhang Chi's credit.

Anyway, Zhou You is the team leader, no matter what credit, it is impossible to leave Zhou You behind.

Chong Xu also specifically reminded Zhou You not to act on his own and act recklessly.

Zhou Ran is a lesson from the past.

Regarding this, Zhou You said, "As a father, I am much smarter than my son!"

When Chong Ling asked, he replied, "First control those disciples on patrol. Zhang Chi, do you have anything to add?"

The first method taught by Chong Xu, listen to Zhang Chi.

He just needs to follow Zhang Chi, observe his every move.

Zhou You also likes this kind of operation, no need to use his brain.

Zhang Chi is also very cooperative, saying, "There is no need to rush the interrogation. After we check the account book, we can talk to them separately.

There are so many spirit stones missing from the warehouse, but there is no clue about the thief. There must be a problem among these people."

"Well, Zhang Chi makes sense. I also think so."

Zhou You openly stole Zhang Chi's wisdom, completely unaware of how despised he was by others.

The eyes of the masses are sharp.

Of course, no one will say it out loud.

Disciples who have reached the Foundation Building stage have a certain amount of experience, less hot-bloodedness, and more calmness.

They will not go out of their way to seek justice for Zhang Chi, but they will secretly guard against Zhou You.

This guy is not a good person, be careful of him taking credit for himself.

As for Zhang Chi...

He is indeed smart, but too young and inexperienced.

Chong Ling knows more about Zhang Chi, knowing that this child is not ignorant, but he seems to never care about fame and fortune.

Such innocence is indeed rare, no wonder the Sect Master cares so much about him.

Chong Ling certainly won't let Zhang Chi suffer for nothing. She ordered, "Since you have the same opinion, let's split up.

Zhou You, you lead the team to catch people, Zhang Chi, you go check the account book."

Chong Ling's method is to separate them, so Zhou You can't take advantage.

Naturally, Zhou You is also anxious. When catching people, he does it hastily and then leaves them aside. He hurriedly goes to find Zhang Chi, afraid that he will find clues that Zhou You doesn't know about.

When he found Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi was calmly looking at the account book. Seeing Zhou You, he politely said, "Master Zhou, why are you here?"

Just removing one honorific, Zhou You felt much more comfortable.

This little junior is so obedient!

"Uh, I thought I didn't have anything to do, so I came to help you."

"Master Zhou is indeed a kind-hearted person. Then please trouble Master to look at the account book with me!"

Zhou You: "..."

He gets a headache when he sees these numbers, and Zhang Chi asks him to carefully calculate whether there is a discrepancy between the daily inflow and outflow, and then calculate the average amount of spirit stones deposited every ten days.

Zhou Ran's scalp was numb, but he couldn't refuse.

And Zhang Chi is even more ruthless. He doesn't rest, so Zhou You can't rest either.

They kept calculating until sunset.

Zhou You finally couldn't hold on.

His head was spinning, so he suggested, "Those people have been detained for a day. Shouldn't we interrogate them?"

Interrogating prisoners is much more interesting than looking at account books.

Zhang Chi regretfully said, "Then Master can go and interrogate. I still want to finish calculating the account books here tonight. If Master is busy with other things, please go first!"

Zhou You's face turned black.

Those account books that are over a meter high, not only from this year, but also from last year, the year before, and even the year before that, were all dug out.

Fortunately, he slipped away quickly, otherwise he would have been dizzy from all the calculations.

"Then I'll go first. Take care of yourself and don't overwork."

"Thank you, Master Zhou, for your concern. If I'm tired, I will go back to rest."

Zhou You decided not to calculate with Zhang Chi anymore and just wait for the results.

After watching Zhou You leave, Zhang Chi threw the account book in his hand.

In fact, he had been fooling around all day. These accounts full of loopholes, what's the point of calculating them?

He kept calculating just to tease Zhou You.

Only after fooling Zhou You did he start his own actions.

It was also getting dark, Tang Ruoling should have arrived...
