After the immortal disappeared

"General Chongwu?" Liu Wu raised his head and glanced at him, "General Chongwu was also there that day?"

"Yes, he just arrived that day. He originally grabbed a box with us, but later he just sat down and drank together."

"Have you been drinking all night?"

"No, no, we drank until evening, when the Mustard Mountain Inn was attacked by thieves. Several teams were stolen. Two, no, three boxes of tribute gifts escorted by General Chongwu were also stolen. He was not in the mood to drink anymore. We went to chase the thief." He Lingchuan replied truthfully, "After he left, we drank for half an hour and then went back to the house to rest until dawn."

"You slept all night and never left the guest room?"

Fan Shuang shook his head, and He Lingchuan smiled and said, "I slept soundly with the sound of wind and rain outside."

After drinking a lot of wine on a rainy day, what else can you do if you don't sleep?

This is a normal reaction from normal people. If Liu Wu cares about this, at least thousands of people in Mangzhou and Zhuo'an did the same thing that night. How can he care about it one by one?

So he didn't hold on tightly, and turned around and asked again: "Where is General Chongwu? When did you return to the inn?"

"At least after dawn, right? The sun has already risen." He Lingchuan thought for a while, "I got up later than usual after drinking, but I also had breakfast with General Chongwu."

Liu Wu nodded: "Has his tribute been recovered?"

"We have recovered them, and the other teams have also been recovered." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Otherwise, how could General Chongwu have the time to have breakfast with me?"

"Who stole it?"

"Two little thieves. I heard that they stole things into a shabby village on the outskirts of Zhuo'an, but General Chongwu followed the clues and found them." General Chongwu's ability to track his prey is quite good.

Liu Wu's eyes flashed: "Have you seen these two thieves?"

"No, General Chongwu did not escort these two thieves back to the inn."

"So, General Chongwu said it all himself?"

"Yes, but General Chongwu also said this was weird when he was having breakfast. How could two thieves steal so many valuables? He asked me to do some analysis."

"Oh? What did you say?"

"I said, if there is someone else who stole the property, maybe it is to confuse the audience so that we can attack the real target in the inn." He Lingchuan picked up the leftover tea on the table to moisten his throat, "Then General Chongwu finished his breakfast. Leading the team on the road."

Liu Wu thought for a while and asked again: "Is he riding a divine horse?"

"Yes, it's a beast called 'Mo Bai'. It has a black body, white tail, and blood-red eyes. It's a rare horse!"

Liu Wu nodded: "Congratulations, Island Master, do you have any history with General Xue and Master Qi?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan answered very naturally. Even King Yao knew the conflict between him and Xue Zongwu very clearly. "My two branches in Yao State were in trouble, and I was in a state of distress. Fortunately, someone gave me some advice, and I went to General Xue to give him gifts and be accommodating, and things were settled quickly." Trouble."

Liu Wu smiled: "Master He is understating it, but I heard that many people died in Yangshan's Xiancheng branch."

He Lingchuan made no bones about it: "Yes, fire and water are ruthless, and the person who set the fire is even more ruthless, and he is able to kill so many innocent people."

"Although this matter has calmed down, Island Master He still feels resentful, right?"

"It's impossible to say that I'm not angry." He Lingchuan said lightly, "But I'm not the only one who is resentful? I bet there were quite a few people in Mangzhou that night who had issues with General Xue, right? "

Liu Wu agreed with this statement. If we were to rank them in terms of hatred, the He Island Master in front of him wouldn't even be in the top twenty.

"Did you meet General Xue during your trip eastward?"

"I've seen it." He Lingchuan would not hide the details that the other party could verify. "After crossing the Baili River, General Xue saw Commander Zhao and came over to say hello and also met with me. Brother Fan was also there at the time. "

Fan Shuang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I'm here too."

Knowing that Liu Wu wanted to get to the bottom of it, He Lingchuan told everything about his conversation with Xue Zongwu, and then asked Fan Shuang: "Brother Fan, did I miss anything?"

"Very detailed." More detailed than he remembered.

It's just a few strange words and cannot be used as a suspicion of murder. After all, the clay statue still has a certain amount of anger. Liu Wu put away the pen and paper: "Okay, I'm just doing this on a routine basis, please forgive me."

"We must cooperate and cooperate seriously."

There are still many people Liu Wu wants to interrogate, and there are two of them in the posthouse at these three stations. He left He Lingchuan's guest room, turned around and knocked on someone else's door.

After he and several guards disappeared, Fan Shuang lowered his voice: "Brother He, could it be that he suspected..."

He Lingchuan put his thumb in front of his lips and said softly "Shh".

Fan Shuang was stunned and quickly shut up. Why did these words come out directly without thinking?

Mostly because he was too relaxed in front of He Xiao.

He Lingchuan said softly: "That is a matter between Commander Liu and Your Majesty. We don't need to speculate."

Fan Shuang nodded. Xue Zongwu's death is such a big event, and he must not get involved in it.

But now that I think about it, General Chongwu benefited the most from the death of General Xue. Could it be that the murderer was really a heavy-handed general?

Ah, this, this!

Looking at his expression, He Lingchuan knew that he had fallen into reverie, so he patted his shoulder:

"We've been delayed a little, let's go to Maochun Restaurant quickly."

While driving, Soul Mirror couldn't help but ask: "Did you expect that this case would still be found on you?"

He Lingchuan supported his head and rubbed his temples.

Fan Shuang was beside him, so he couldn't speak, but this action represented an affirmative answer:

Yes!

Under his control, the death of Xue Zongwu was destined to find no real suspect. After searching in Mangzhou to no avail, the investigators could only expand the search range, and it was very likely that they would find He Lingchuan.

Then what he had to do was to make himself look innocent and come up with a convincing alibi.

That was why he didn't stay in Mangzhou, but took great pains to choose Zhuowei. In order to further prove his innocence, he also arranged an alibi and arranged witnesses.

Mirror asked again: "Have you been wanting to put the blame on General Chongwu for a long time?!"

He Lingchuan rubbed his temple again:

Nonsense!

"Based on just a few doubts, General Chongwu will be fine."

Fan Shuang: "Ah? Brother He, are you talking to me?"

He Lingchuan shook his head: "Nothing."

When he saw General Chongwu show up that night, he prepared this back-up plan.

General Chongwu was extraordinary in martial arts, and he brought all the main confidants in the army with him.

He was riding a good horse. A purebred beast could see at night. It was not too much to travel 800 miles at night, right?

If Yao Country could find He Lingchuan, they could also find General Chongwu. No matter how you look at it, General Chongwu was much more suspicious than Island Master He.
