NABC Chapter 118 The scapegoat
Chapter 118 The scapegoat
The three old men of the Jin family also frowned! Who wanted to deal with them? Who was the real murderer behind the scenes? What was their real purpose? Now that Jin Youli was dead, there was no evidence!
Investigate! We must find out the real culprit behind this! Otherwise, they will hide in the dark and bring danger to the Jin family at any time! The entire Jin family will be in constant fear!
"Quick! Youdao, send someone to notify Youguang!"
The second master finally couldn't help but shout.
"Uncle! I sent someone to look for him a few days ago, but I heard that he was not in the sect because of something. He hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid he hasn't come back yet?"
Jin Youdao said with a bitter face.
"This...what should we do? Where is...that Xiangling? Bring her here quickly, maybe she knows something!"
The second master said anxiously.
"Alas! Second Uncle! Xiangling has committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"
Jin Youdao sighed.
For a moment, everyone in the Jin family looked at each other with worried brows!
Li Yu had been covering the entire Jin Mansion with his divine consciousness, especially the place where the assassin disappeared, and searched carefully, hoping to find that person. Although this was none of his business, after all, he was the one who cured Jin Youdao of the poison, so he was afraid that he had been regarded as an enemy by the other party, right?
The place where the man disappeared was exactly where the servants lived - the front yard! Therefore, Li Yu concluded that the man was hiding among the servants.
There were about a hundred servants in the entire Jin Mansion. If you wanted to find one person among these hundred people, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack! But fortunately, when the incident happened, most of the servants were scattered around the Jin Mansion. When Jin San shouted, there were only eleven servants rushing out from the front yard!
Li Yu believed that the assassin was among these people. Because his mind had never left the front yard! And at this time, the entire front yard was empty!
It was not easy to identify the assassin among these eleven people, because most of them had similar figures and the same clothes, and the only difference was their faces! But he only saw the other person's back, and didn't see his face at all!
Although he didn't see the assassin's face, he remembered the faces of these eleven people! This was also a stupid method he had no choice but to use. Next time he met them, he would hide away to avoid becoming a confused ghost!
But he still didn't give up, and wanted to know which one of them was the assassin! So he split his mind and followed the eleven of them.
At first, those people did not behave unusually, and everyone searched everywhere. But Li Yu found that one of them seemed a little sneaky, and kept moving closer to the gate of Jin Mansion!
This man's abnormal behavior immediately caught his attention! As soon as he approached the gate, he heard someone shouting:
"Wu Qiang, why don't you search carefully? What the hell do you want to do?"
When the man heard this, he rushed out and tried to escape! But he saw a man blocking his way. Wu Qiang couldn't stop in time and bumped into the man!
Wu Qiang hurriedly whispered:
"Qi Lianshan! Get out of my way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Lianshan not only did not move aside, but instead shouted at the top of his voice:
"Someone come quickly! The assassin is here! Someone come quickly!"
Wu Qiang was panicked upon hearing this! He immediately chopped at Qi Lianshan with his sword! Qi Lianshan immediately raised his sword to block, shouting:
"Someone come quickly! The assassin is trying to escape!"
"Wu Qiang! So the assassin is you! I am so fucking blind! Put down the knife now!"
With a roar, Jin San came over with a large group of servants and surrounded him!
Wu Qiang's face was grim! After a little thought, he wanted to throw down his sword. But at this moment, he saw a flash of sword! Everyone was shocked to find that Qi Lianshan had stabbed Wu Qiang's heart!
Wu Qiang looked at Qi Lianshan in astonishment, a mouthful of blood gushed out! His body slowly collapsed to the ground, still mumbling to himself.
Qi Lianshan seemed to be frightened as well, staring blankly with his sword in hand!
Jin San and the others were also stunned! Then they quickly ran to Wu Qiang's side, only to find that Wu Qiang had already died, with only a pair of eyes wide open, as if he had died with his eyes open!
Li Yu saw the whole process! He couldn't help but take a deep look at the distraught Qi Lianshan! He was sure that Wu Qiang was not the assassin, but Qi Lianshan! Because the moment Qi Lianshan dodged to block Wu Qiang, his identity was exposed!
But he didn't want to reveal his identity, because he didn't know if there was someone else behind Qi Lianshan! If he revealed his identity, he would truly become their enemy!
The Jin family is not a good family to begin with. Life or death has nothing to do with him. He must ensure the safety of himself and Li Ya!
After a while, Jin San rushed in with the news that the assassin had been killed!
When the Jin family heard that they failed to capture the assassin alive, although they felt a little regretful, they were greatly relieved as the crisis had been resolved!
The three elders of the Jin family and Jin Youdao praised Qi Lianshan for killing Wu Qiang! And gave him a reward of 100 taels of silver. Qi Lianshan, who seemed to be frightened out of his wits, suddenly came to his senses and knelt on the ground in gratitude! He just glanced at Li Yu inadvertently when he got up, which made him shudder and his back went cold!
After a while, Jin San, who had led people to search Wu Qiang's residence, returned to the hall and handed a package to Jin Youdao, saying:
"My Lord! This Wu Qiang is indeed not a good person. A large amount of property belonging to the Jin family was found in his residence! Please take a look, my Lord!"
The package was opened immediately, and Li Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded! The gold jewelry, gold and silver jewelry filled the whole package! At this time, Li Yu understood why he ran away! This is because he was afraid that his theft from the Jin Mansion would be exposed! He didn't want to be someone else's scapegoat!
When Jin Youdao saw this, he was so angry that his whole body was shaking! He couldn't help but curse:
"Asshole! I was wondering why I kept losing things during this period of time. Turns out this bastard was responsible!"
Among the pile of items, there was an inconspicuous wooden box that caught Jin Youdao's attention. He said to Jin San:
"What's with the wooden box?"
Jin San picked up the small wooden box and looked at it again and again, but he still couldn't figure it out. Suddenly he slapped his head and shouted:
"Master! This wooden box should be used by him to store the poison!"
"Oh? Show it to Mr. Li!"
Jin Youdao hurriedly said to Jin San.
Li Yu knew what the thing was for without even looking at it, because if Wu Qiang was an assassin, then the wooden box containing the poisonous insects would definitely be found among Wu Qiang's belongings! But he still looked at it again and again, smelled it again and again, and finally nodded to Jin Youdao in the affirmative!
During the whole process, Li Yu discovered that Qi Lianshan was staring at him intentionally or unintentionally, with a panicked and vicious look in his eyes!
