"No! It's not me!" Elder Qin suddenly woke up after hearing this and shouted anxiously, "You can go and check, I... I have never been to the dungeon, and I am not qualified to enter the dungeon, how could I kill these two people?"
Falsely accusing someone of cheating and killing them to silence them are two different things. Even if it is proven that he falsely accused Xi Yue of cheating and disrupting the examination of the Shenyi School, he would at most be expelled from the school.
But if it is proven that he has committed murder, he will definitely be cruelly punished by the Divine Medical School. By then, not only will his cultivation level possibly regress, he may not even be able to survive.
Thinking of this, Elder Qin's voice became more urgent, "I have been refining the elixir in the room these days. Ah Qing and my other disciples can testify that I definitely did not kill them!"
Zeng Shouyue and Li Chengqun confirmed from Ah Qing and others that Elder Qin had indeed never left the room or gone to the dungeon.
It is impossible that he killed the person.
But, it definitely couldn't be Xi Yue, right
Zeng Shouyue said firmly: "Xi Yue never did those things, so the reason for killing to silence them is naturally invalid. Moreover, if Xi Yue wanted to kill them, wouldn't it be more reasonable and less suspicious if she accidentally killed them during the competition?"
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
After all that has happened, even a fool can see that Xiyue is a victim.
Elder Ji, who was in charge of punishment, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Since it wasn't done by Elder Qin, then check them one by one. Who has entered the dungeon during this period of time, and who has suspicious whereabouts before and after Feng Yunqing and Chen Jiancheng were poisoned, check them all. I don't believe that we can't find the real murderer!"
As he said this, Elder Ji snorted coldly, his eyes sharp, “You dare to commit a crime in my Divine Medical Academy, you are simply impatient to live!”
Cai Yu's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at Lu Zhixi, his eyes full of worry.
But to his surprise, this time Lu Zhixi did not look at him, but had an indifferent expression, as if it had nothing to do with her, and even had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Just as Cai Yu was surprised, a short man with a shifty look suddenly walked out from behind Lu Zhixi.
Cai Yu recognized him as Jiang Zhongcheng, the new secretary of the Academic Affairs Council who had just joined the organization last year.
Jiang Zhongcheng's name contains the word "loyalty", but his personality is smooth and cunning, and he is good at changing his attitude according to the situation. He has nothing to do with loyalty. Cai Yu dislikes this person very much, but in the past six months, Jiang Zhongcheng has been inexplicably valued by Lu Zhixi.
Although Cai Yu was surprised, he would not raise any objection to such a trivial matter.
So what was Jiang Zhongcheng doing at this time
Jiang Zhongcheng bowed to several deans and elders, then frowned and said in confusion, "There is something I don't know whether I should tell you about it. Is it about the death of Feng Yunqing and Chen Jiancheng?"
Elder Ji immediately said, "Hurry up and tell me!"
Jiang Zhongcheng glanced at Cai Yu, gritted his teeth and pretended to be unable to bear it, then said, "The night before Feng Yunqing and Chen Jiancheng died, I saw Vice President Cai go to the dungeon."
"What?! Are you serious about what you said?"
Jiang Zhongcheng looked at Cai Yu guiltily, "Vice President Cai, please don't blame me. Just like Zhang Chong, I don't want to hurt you, but I really can't get past my conscience, so I can only speak out about this."
Elder Ji's eyes were like lightning, and he glared at Cai Yu fiercely, "Did you really kill Feng Yunqing and Chen Jiancheng to silence them?"
Cai Yu blurted out: "Of course not, I definitely didn't kill anyone!" (To be continued)
