What happened at the scene was beyond the expectations of Liang Yiji and everyone else including Yan Liqiang.
Liang Yiji, who had originally had the upper hand and was sure of victory, suddenly changed his role. The arrow he shot at Xu Lang made him the target of public criticism.
Ordinary people follow others blindly. There were probably only a few people present who could really see the details and situation of the fight between Xu Lang and Liang Yiji on the stage. For most of the people standing outside the stage of life and death, many people were just watching the excitement. When they saw Xu Lang being shot by an arrow outside the stage of life and death, many people were driven by the atmosphere around them and immediately directed their spearheads at Liang Yiji.
Yan Liqiang was one of the people who was present and understood the whole process. At that time, Liang Yijie would be able to kill Xu Lang on the spot in just a few moments. Why would Liang Yijie let someone outside the life and death stage take action? Moreover, Liang Yijie was not that kind of person at all.
At this moment, only two words flashed through Yan Liqiang's mind - conspiracy! At this time, Xu Lang was shot by an arrow, and Liang Yijie had no way to defend himself.
"Get out of the way..." After taking a look at the direction from which the arrow came, Yan Liqiang was the first to react. He roared and rushed directly to the distance. At this time, the only way to prove Liang Yiji's innocence was to catch the archer. Others might not have figured out where the arrow came from, but Yan Liqiang had just keenly locked onto the source of the arrow.
The arrow was shot from the third-floor window of an inn in the distance. The inn was at the far intersection of the street, about 150 meters away from the Life and Death Stage.
The crowd near the life and death stage were instigated by someone and were clamoring loudly as they gathered towards Liang Yiji, blocking the road. Yan Liqiang roared and rushed towards the people who were crowding around him. With just a push, the two people in the front cried out, and all of a sudden, like a set of dominoes being pushed over, the seven or eight people behind them were knocked down and squeezed away at the same time. Yan Liqiang's power was simply beyond their ability to resist.
After pushing away a few people who were crowding over, Yan Liqiang took a step and leaped up into the air, spanning several feet in the air and jumping more than ten meters. When he was about to land, he stepped on the shoulder of one of the onlookers below with one foot, and his body movements of the Nine Palaces Wind Shadow Step and the Cloud Dragon Ten Changes were instantly transformed. Before the onlookers below could react, Yan Liqiang's figure flashed twice like lightning, and he had already passed the large group of noisy onlookers and landed on the street outside. Then, his figure was like a galloping horse, and he took a few feet in one step and rushed directly towards the inn.
Yan Liqiang's figure swept across the more than 100-meter-long street like a gust of wind, causing pedestrians on the street to exclaim in surprise.
In just a few breaths, Yan Liqiang rushed to the downstairs of the inn. He did not rush up from the inn, but rushed directly to the bottom of the room on the third floor, jumped up, and his whole body spun and leaped in the air, changing like a cloud dragon, and suddenly jumped to the window on the third floor of the inn facing the street, which was more than ten meters high. He punched the closed window, smashing the entire wooden window into pieces. Countless fragments shot into the room, and then Yan Liqiang's figure entered the room of the inn through the window with this punch.
The room was empty, the door was ajar, and there was only a longbow and two scattered arrows thrown on the ground.
Yan Liqiang rushed to the door, opened it, and rushed into the inn. When he turned a corner, he saw a waiter who heard the noise and was about to come to the room to check. Before the waiter could speak, Yan Liqiang grabbed the waiter and asked loudly, "The person living in this room just killed someone. Where is he?"
Yan Liqiang's appearance frightened the waiter, especially the strength in Yan Liqiang's arms, which made the waiter unable to move at all. If Yan Liqiang directly asked where the man who lived here was, the waiter might not tell him right away. But after hearing Yan Liqiang say that the man had killed someone, the waiter changed his expression and pointed downwards, "That... that guest just went downstairs and left through the back door of the inn..."
"What is that person wearing?"
"A short grey robe..."
Hearing this, Yan Liqiang put the waiter down, rushed downstairs, and rushed out from the back door of the inn.
Outside the back door of the inn, there was an alley several dozen meters deep. There was no one in the alley. Yan Liqiang rushed out of the alley, but outside was already a street. The street was crowded with people coming and going. Looking around, there was no one wearing a black robe nearby. That person had already fallen into the sea and disappeared...
A figure flashed by and Zhang Rui rushed out of the alley. "Did you find the person?"
Yan Liqiang glanced at Zhang Rui, shook his head, and said with some regret, "I didn't find him. He ran away!"
Just now when Yan Liqiang ran over from the life and death stage, he saw Zhang Rui's figure like a swimming fish, flashing out from a crowd of people and rushing over behind him. It is estimated that Zhang Rui also saw the situation in the guest room and knew what was going on.
The two quickly returned to the inn and asked the innkeeper and the boss. They learned that the man on the third floor had checked into the inn two days ago. As for the man's appearance, neither the innkeeper nor the boss could tell them. They only knew that the man had a full beard...
Hairy beard? Yan Liqiang shook his head secretly. This is the simplest and most deceptive disguise. It seems that the other party came prepared.
…
Less than three minutes passed. When Yan Liqiang and Zhang Rui returned to the stage, the entire area around the stage was filled with the shouting and cursing of onlookers. The crowd was outraged. Xu Lang seemed to have been injured and fainted. The explanations of Liang Yiji and others were completely drowned out at this time.
"Despicable..."
“Shameless!”
"I didn't expect Sun Bingchen's guard to be this kind of person..."
Yan Liqiang knew at a glance that there were many people in the crowd stirring up the emotions of the onlookers, but at this time, even if you could see it, there was nothing you could do.
Liang Yiji was talking to a detective with an unpleasant expression, but the detective was shaking his head and said firmly, "Guard Liang, please come with us to the government office, otherwise we will have a hard time explaining ourselves. This is the rule..."
"Yijie had the upper hand just now, why did he need to resort to such despicable means..." Yuan Beihong said loudly, extremely angry.
The detective shook his head and said, "I didn't say that this was done by Guard Liang. It's just that the people over there were ambushed on the life and death stage and were injured. Someone broke the rules. Guard Liang should also go back with us to be questioned..."
Yan Liqiang came to Liang Yiji's side and whispered to him what he had just told Liang Yiji about his discovery in the inn.
Liang Yijie patted Yan Liqiang on the shoulder, nodded, and then spoke loudly, "Brother Yuan, there is no need to say anything more. I, Liang Yijie, have never done such a shameful thing. A man of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow. It doesn't matter if I go to this government office!"
