Sun Jian paced back and forth in the study, thinking carefully about this matter.

"According to what you said, they have no evidence to prove that you are the murderer, but your suspicion is not small. In this way, it is not ruled out that Yang Ting, a thief, will cause mischief in the future."

In a situation like this, Sun Jue will inevitably be asked for questioning.

Even if there is no evidence, it is normal to deliberately make things difficult. After all, Yang Ting has always been eyeing them.

"It's just that we can't leave now. Once we leave, we will give them a handle and we will easily be labeled as absconding in fear of crime."

"The crime of killing an imperial official is serious enough to be sentenced to execution. Even if we escape now, we will still be wanted nationwide."

Sun Jian had already returned to his usual calmness at this time.

If you were an ordinary person, you would still be afraid of being beaten into submission.

But for Sun Jue, ordinary torture is just scratching an itch.

Besides, the Sun family is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others.

Now, the news that the Sun family joined the Beggar Gang has been quickly spread through the mouths of many beggars.

In the absence of conclusive evidence, even if Yang Ting is the county governor, he still needs to be cautious.

This is not only true for Yang Ting, but also for the people of Zixia Sect.

"So we're going to stay now?"

Sun Jue confirmed to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian nodded slightly: "That's right, stay here first, wait until the situation stabilizes, and then make plans."

"Then it's up to you."

Sun Jue has no other opinions. For him, it doesn't matter where he is.

As long as it's not a remote area and there's no problem with food, drink and housing, everything else will be fine.

Sun Jian warned: "You'd better keep a low profile these days. Someone will definitely come looking for you soon."

In this regard, Sun Jue had a different opinion: "Father, there is actually no need. If I deliberately keep a low profile, wouldn't it make it more obvious that there is something wrong with me? Just keep it as usual."

"Even at this time, the more high-profile the better, and I have another idea."

"What's the idea?"

Sun Jian was a little curious.

Although Sun Jue has changed a lot these days, even his personality has changed, but his views on some things are still a bit shallow.

"Actually, it feels a little immoral to say it."

Sun Jue was a little embarrassed, "On the surface, our relationship with the Cui family and the father and son is still the same as before. Except for a few people, no one else knows that we have fallen out."

"So, we might as well take care of their funerals in the name of sworn brothers, and at the same time try to catch the murderer."

To put it bluntly, the thief shouts to catch the thief.

Even those who know the inside story may not be suspicious after seeing the reactions of the Sun family and his son.

After all, even if they break up, the relationship from the past is still there, and death is a big deal.

Coupled with Sun Jian's reputation for valuing friendship, it is normal to have such a reaction.

The benefit of doing this is very obvious. It moves yourself from the position of a suspect to the position of chasing the murderer.

Not only can it eliminate some suspicions, but it can also better deal with the subsequent attacks from the Zixia Sect and the County Sheriff's Mansion.

Sun Jian's eyes lit up and he looked at Sun Jue with admiration: "I didn't expect you to come up with such an idea. Yes, we will leave for Cui Mansion immediately."

"good!"

The two of them left the study and hurried to Cui Mansion. The expressions on their faces automatically adjusted to solemnity, plus a little bit of sadness.

Considering the current relationship and status of both parties, it is not appropriate to cry hypocritically now.

"Mr. Sun, you are here, he was killed..."

As soon as I entered the door, a steward greeted me.

Cui Mingxin respected this manager Zhou quite a lot.

But it was obvious that Cui Ming did not tell him some secret things.

Sun Jian nodded, the sadness in his eyes getting stronger: "Take me to see him."

"You come with me."

The steward wiped his eyes with his wide sleeves and led the way.

He took the two of them directly to the small courtyard where several members of the Zixia Sect lived.

At this time, not only are the three people from the Zixia Sect here, but Wang Lei is also here with some detectives to protect the scene.

Seeing Manager Zhou bringing Sun Jian and his son over, Wang Lei was stunned for a moment and began to doubt his previous judgment.

Ruan Yu and the other three, on the other hand, had never seen Sun Jian and Sun Jue, so they asked the servants next to them.

"Who are these two people? Why did Manager Zhou bring them here?"

As far as Ruan Yu knows, Cui Ming and Cui Jin, father and son, have no other relatives here.

Cui Ming took root here because he became the county magistrate of Moyang City, and his family is in another state.

The servant answered truthfully: "Of these two, the older one is named Sun Jian, who is the master's close friend for eight times, and the younger one is his son Sun Jue."

Ruan Yu's eyes narrowed. He did not expect that before they could find Sun Jue, Sun Jue would come to the door himself.

On the other side, Sun Jian raised his hand to Wang Leigong and said, "Would you please Wang Captou to make it easier for me to see my elder brother for the last time?"

Looking at Sun Jian's faint expression of sadness, Wang Lei's mind was spinning, but on the surface he remained calm: "Master Sun, you're welcome, please."

His eyes fell on Sun Jue's face, but he didn't see much sadness.

[Also, the relationship between Sun Jue and Cui Ming and his son has never been very good. If he bursts into tears, there will be a real problem. 】

Sun Jue followed Sun Jian step by step.

Sun Jian entered the small courtyard, uncovered the white cloth, looked at Cui Ming's headless body, and swayed.

Sun Jue quickly supported him and asked with some worry: "Father, are you okay?"

Sun Jian didn't speak, just shook his head, but his eyes gradually became bloodshot and became more crystal clear.

He walked to Cui Jin's body again, uncovered the white cloth, looked at the same headless corpse, couldn't help but close his eyes, and two lines of hot tears fell silently.

There is an element of acting in it, but a third of it comes from his sincerity.

Therefore, whether it is Wang Lei, who has met countless people, or Ruan Yu, who has good cultivation skills.

Not only did he not see any flaws, but he was infected by this sad emotion.

Sun Jian stood blankly for a while, then wiped away his tears with his hands. When he opened his eyes again, he seemed to be no longer sad.

He turned around, looked at Wang Lei, and asked calmly: "Who did it?"

It was a sentence with no ups and downs in tone, but everyone seemed to feel the turbulence in Sun Jian's heart.

"There is no evidence yet, but the biggest suspects are the people who lived in this courtyard at that time. They are disciples of the Zixia Sect and are from the same sect as Cui Jin."

Wang Lei didn't know if Sun Jian was acting.

But he understood that if Sun Jian was really acting, then this person would be really terrible.

Although exposed venomous snakes still pose a threat, they are much less of a threat.

Once the hidden poisonous snake attacks, it will be fatal.

"The servants also witnessed Master Cui and his son, and finally entered this courtyard, and no one else came to this courtyard except them."
