Zhou Ziruo felt dazed, and when he heard the head, he reflexively remembered the scene of Feng Jing being beheaded, and hurriedly shook his head to get that scene out of his mind.
It is possible for a person to survive without his arms and legs, but he cannot live without his torso. So far, it has been completely confirmed that in this series of events, someone really died!
Liu Nanqin looked solemn: "Those bodies that were discovered...who belonged to them?"
Wei Heng said in a cold voice: "No one is missing except for the senior brother, but even if the deceased is not a disciple of Qingyang Mountain, he still has his life! The murderer took someone's life and exposed the dead body in such a way, it is really cruel Hateful! Third Junior Brother, can you see clearly who attacked you?"
Liu Nanqin frowned and shook his head, "The situation was chaotic at that time, the candles in the room were suddenly blown out by the wind, we relit the candlesticks, and someone attacked me in the darkness!"
"The person who attacked the third senior brother is the senior senior brother." Lu Lixiao interjected while holding the sword.
Both Wei Heng and Liu Nanqin were shocked, "Eldest brother?"
"Zi Ruo saw it with his own eyes." Lu Lixiao added.
Facing the gazes of Wei Heng and Liu Nanqin looking over, Zhou Ziruo said: "I'm sure that the person I saw in the third senior brother's room is the senior senior brother! But..."
"but?"
But then he saw Feng Jing beheaded again. If Zhou Zi didn't dare to talk nonsense about this point, he changed his words: "But when I chased him to the woods, he disappeared..."
"Last time, the junior brother also saw the senior brother inside the ancestral hall, so those arms really don't belong to the senior brother. These things... were all done by the senior brother?" Liu Nanqin thought.
The room fell silent, and no one made a sound. Half a moment later, Lu Lixiao told Liu Nanqin to take care of rest, and left.
Before leaving, Liu Nanqin stopped Lu Lixiao suddenly, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Fourth Junior Brother... these days, you should be more careful."
Every time a part of the human body appeared in this incident, one disciple would suffer, and the severity of the injuries varied. Wei Heng almost died that time! Although there were hundreds of disciples in Qingyang Mountain, those involved in the incident were all outstanding members of the sect, and one head did not appear. Compared with ordinary disciples, the possibility of Lu Lixiao being targeted seemed much higher.
Of course Lu Lixiao understood Liu Nanqin's meaning, and smiled lightly, "Thank you, Senior Brother San, for your concern."
It was late at night, two hours before dawn.
On the way back to the residence, Zhou Ziruo followed behind Lu Lixiao with a heavy heart, but he didn't notice that Lu Lixiao stopped suddenly in front of him, and directly bumped into Lu Lixiao's chest.
Zhou Ziruo took a step back, Lu Lixiao pressed his waist to prevent him from moving away, and asked him, "Do you need my help?"
Zhou Ziruo bit his lip and said in a low voice, "Actually... Actually, I saw senior brother..."
"Huh?" Lu Lixiao waited patiently for him.
After Zhou Ziruo struggled, he finished in one breath: "I saw senior brother beheaded by a man in a black cloak with a knife!"
There was obvious surprise on Lu Lixiao's face, Zhou Ziruo's first thought was that he really didn't believe it, but Lu Lixiao asked, "Why didn't you say it in Yunqing Palace?"
Zhou Ziruo said: "I thought it was a dream... that man in the black cloak is still trying to chop off my head, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Lixiao's hand on his waist suddenly came to the back of his neck, and from Zhou Ziruo's perspective, he could see that he frowned.
Lu Lixiao carefully confirmed that Zhou Ziruo's neck was not injured, and then said to him seriously: "Tell me in detail what happened tonight."
Zhou Ziruo narrated to Lu Lixiao in detail everything that happened after entering Liu Nanqin's room, especially witnessing Feng Jing's beheading in the woods.
After finishing speaking, Zhou Ziruo felt that he was much more relaxed. Whether Lu Lixiao believed it or not, he had a clear conscience anyway.
Lu Lixiao narrowed his eyes slightly, remained silent for a long time, and said again: "So the person who tied you up in the woods was actually the man in the black cloak?"
"Do you believe that what I see is not a dream?" Zhou Ziruo said.
Lu Lixiao curled his lower lip, "Do you think it's a dream?"
Although Zhou Ziruo didn't answer, he knew the answer was no. The difference between dreams and reality can be distinguished by normal people. How could the fear and the real touch of the butcher knife falling on the neck at that time be a dream? He was just deceiving himself before!
"Brother Xiao, what do you think the man in the cloak told me to see Eldest Brother being... killed? Isn't he with Eldest Brother? If he killed Eldest Brother quietly, no one would know that he was still there." If this person exists, everyone will think that the elder brother did these things alone! Isn't he contradicting himself?"
Lu Lixiao said, "Maybe that person doesn't care about these at all."
"Isn't he from Qingyang Mountain? Are there really outsiders hiding in the door?" Zhou Ziruo immediately looked around cautiously. After all, he was also the only common witness to the three incidents, and he also witnessed Feng Jing's murder and death. The man in the black cloak exists, and if that guy changes his mind, he will be the first to kill him.
Lu Lixiao saw through his thoughts, "That man spared your life, so he is not afraid of you telling what you saw in the Yunqing Palace. Don't be too nervous."
Zhou Ziruo breathed a sigh of relief, "Should we go to the head of the house and tell him about it?"
Lu Lixiao thought for a while, but said, "No need for now." If Zhou Zi didn't understand, he simply explained, "That person may just want to convey some information through your mouth to achieve a certain purpose, but unexpectedly you didn't If he wants, it may prompt him to take unplanned actions, so there will be clues coming out."
I see. Zhou Ziruo nodded, and returned to the case itself, "The timeline of this matter started from the disappearance of the eldest brother. He killed an unidentified person, dismembered the person, and released a part of the body every time he attacked a doorman. In the end, he himself was killed by someone. Oh, and at first he seemed to want to avoid suspicion, so he disguised the man's arms as his own!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Lixiao, who said, "Is that so?"
"Is there something wrong?" Zhou Ziruo felt that he made it very clear.
Lu Lixiao was silent for a while, "Perhaps that's the case."
Zhou Ziruo continued: "The strange thing is that apart from the fact that senior brother attacked third senior brother tonight, the reason why he attacked second senior brother and Leng senior brother was unexpected. How did he know that second senior brother would go to the ancestral hall at that time? How did he know that Leng senior brother Then go to his courtyard to find him?"
"Second Senior Brother's incident is really strange. As for Junior Brother Leng...maybe, you can ask him personally. In addition, although Senior Brother is usually a bit arrogant, he is not so mad. He disappeared suddenly and got involved in these incidents. I tend to think that he was threatened or controlled by someone." Lu Lixiao said.
Zhou Ziruo thought it was very possible, the man in the black cloak killed Feng Jing just to kill people!
"If Eldest Brother is kidnapped, the man behind the scenes is the man in black cloak, but there is no one missing in Qingyang Mountain, and the deceased is not from Qingyang Mountain, so why would the man in black cloak kill someone who has nothing to do with Qingyang Mountain? And then exposing the corpse to Qingyang Mountain to stir up these turmoil?"
Lu Lixiao shook his head, "The head of the deceased did not appear, so we don't know his identity, so we can't find out about it for now."
"Head," Zhou Ziruo shuddered suddenly, at this moment he was sure that Lu Lixiao thought of the same place as him, "It's... big brother?"
The man in the black cloak chopped off Feng Jing's head, so the next head that appears is very likely to be Feng Jing! So whoever he's going to hit—
Zhou Ziruo looked at Lu Lixiao nervously, Lu Lixiao obviously knew better than him, raised his hand and rubbed the top of his head nonchalantly, "I will be careful."
"But, second senior brother is so powerful, he almost..."
"It'll be fine." Lu Lixiao cut off Zhou Ziruo's words with a faint smile.
The worry in Zhou Ziruo's heart became even stronger. Wei Heng, who was covered in blood in the ancestral hall that day, appeared in his mind. If Wei Heng was replaced by Lu Lixiao...
He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Lu Lixiao had already stepped forward, he caught up with the hand that was holding him from behind, and when Lu Lixiao looked back, he asked him in a low voice: "You... are you very good?"
"Yes. I'm very good." Lu Lixiao answered him calmly.
Zhou Ziruo opened his mouth, but he didn't know what he wanted to say.
Lu Lixiao looked at him for a while, then suddenly said: "About the fact that you saw the scene where senior brother was beheaded but there was no blood..."
"What?" Zhou Ziruo didn't know how he jumped to this question.
"I thought of a possibility."
"What's possible?"
Lu Lixiao said: "When I brought people to find you, you were indeed tied to a tree trunk. However, that is not necessarily the place where you witnessed the elder brother being killed."
"Oh!!" Zhou Ziruo suddenly realized, "I was transferred by that guy after I fainted!! That is not the scene of the crime at all, so there is no blood!!"
"That's what it means." Lu Lixiao tapped his forehead lightly.
Zhou Ziruo was gearing up, "I'll go look in the woods at dawn tomorrow, and I must find the place where the crime happened to prove that what I saw is true!"
"Tomorrow? Are you not coming to watch the final?"
Zhou Ziruo suddenly remembered that tomorrow is the final of the competition.
This is troublesome, if you go late, the clues might really be cleaned up!
"It doesn't matter, I don't have much suspense in the battle with Junior Brother Leng, you can go to the place where Senior Brother was killed. But remember to call a few people, just in case." Lu Lixiao said again when Zhou Ziruo was struggling.
"Your injury hasn't healed yet. Is it really okay to compete with Senior Brother Leng?" Leng Mo was the man who kicked him off the stage after he had modified his force value (wrongly). , that strength is leveraged.
Lu Lixiao lazily raised the corners of his lower lips, and didn't say anything, it seemed that he was confident.
The author has something to say: The key to this case has already been discussed in this chapter, Xiaogong and Xiaoshou, but I can’t point it out, because if you point it out, you’ll be able to guess it, and maybe someone else has already guessed it Already~(≧▽≦)/~
That's the trick. As for the murderer, the clues haven't surfaced so far, guess it's catching shrimp~
