Chapter 24 Doubt
"I hope your plan is as perfect as you said." Xue Qingqing also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Chen family has no evidence, it cannot mean that Chen Song was killed by the Ye family.
Tonight, the Ye family is very peaceful, but the Chen family is different.
At this time, in the lobby of the Chen family, there was a coffin. Lying quietly in the coffin was the young master of the Chen family, Chen Song, who had just been shot in the head by Ye Xuan.
But around this coffin were senior figures from the Chen family.
"Master, this must have been done by the Ye family!" said a senior member of the Chen family standing nearby.
The Chen family is one of the four major families in Lianyung City. None of the children of the Chen family have been killed in the past. However, today, the nephew of the head of the Chen family died. It is not difficult to think that it was the Ye family who did it.
"I think so too, but there are many doubts about Chen Song's death."
Chen Xiang, the head of the Chen family, frowned. After a pause, he continued: "First, Chen Song was shot dead by a bow and arrow. Second, the murderer shot him from at least fifty meters away. Third, , the Ye family had no motive to kill Chen Song, was it just Chen Song who beat Ye Xuan, that maid?"
"What does the head of the family mean, is someone putting the blame on the Ye family?" the senior member of the Chen family asked again.
"It is possible, but the Ye family cannot be completely without suspicion. This may also be a method used by the Ye family to confuse us! In addition to the three doubts just now, there is another point. It seems that there are no high-level warriors who use bows and arrows in Lianyun City. To be able to kill Chen Song by condensing his spiritual power into arrows alone means he is at least a strong person at the sixth level of martial arts, or someone with fifth-level arrow martial arts." Chen Xiang still frowned.
Chen Song was his nephew and one of the four heroes of the Chen family. His death made him very sad.
Everyone nodded silently when they heard this.
Indeed, Lianyuncheng seemed to have never heard of masters who used bows and arrows.
"Master, even if the masters of other families practice bows and arrows, we don't know. Moreover, the murderer may come from other places, so what should we do?" someone asked.
"This matter needs to be considered in the long term, but if you dare to kill the children of my Chen family, I will never give up the reward. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, I will dig out the murderer."
As Chen Xiang spoke, he turned his head angrily and said, "You guys, send people to the major families to find out if there are any powerful people from outside."
"yes!"
A group of people retreated.
After they left, Chen Xiang did not leave. He sat on the chair and murmured: "Damn it, my second brother will be back tomorrow. If he knows that his son is dead, I don't know what will happen."
…
The next day, the news of Chen Song's death also spread directly to major families, as well as the Ye family.
After learning about this incident, Ye Zhang and the elders of the four major clans were shocked and hurried to Ye Xuan's house.
"Ye Xuan, was it you who caused Chen Song's death..."
As soon as Ye Zhang entered the door, he asked straight to the point.
At this time, Ye Xuan was sitting in the yard with Xue Qingqing and Liu Er, drinking morning tea. After Ye Xuan heard this, he pretended to be startled and said, "Chen Song is dead?"
"Ye Xuan, if my family doesn't tell secrets, was it you who killed me?" Ye Zhang asked.
Liu'er beside him was also shocked and turned to look at Ye Xuan.
"No!" Ye Xuan shook his head.
This answer disrupted Ye Zhang's thoughts. He frowned and said, "Last night, when Chen Song went out, he was shot through the head with a bow and arrow, killing him with one blow!"
"It's better to die, he deserves it!" Ye Xuan just replied lightly.
He killed the person with his own hands, but he thought it was better not to let Ye Zhang and others know.
"But why do I feel that you are the one who killed this person?"
Ye Zhang frowned and continued: "According to people at the scene, there were two guards behind Chen Song who were at the fourth level of martial arts, but Chen Song was shot to death with a bow and arrow dozens of meters away. Fa Chaoqun, even a martial artist present at the fifth level of martial arts did not react. So I speculate that the person who killed him was at least the sixth level of martial arts, and was proficient in archery, or had a fifth-level archery. Martial Arts…”
"Uncle, there must be a limit to suspicion. Firstly, I am not at the sixth level of martial arts. Secondly, I have never touched a bow and arrow. Thirdly, I do not have a fifth-level archery martial arts. Why do you doubt me?" Ye Xuan put down the teacup. , asked slowly.
Ye Zhang was also confused.
Indeed, Ye Xuan did not meet one condition, but why did he feel that it was Ye Xuan who killed him
"Except for you, I haven't heard of anyone wanting to kill Chen Song. Moreover, your performance is too calm." The first clan elder said.
"Great Elder, is it possible that Chen Song is dead, should I be afraid? I didn't kill him!" Ye Xuan still looked calm and calm.
"You really didn't kill him?" Ye Zhang still asked suspiciously.
"No!" Ye Xuan shook his head and refused to admit it even to death.
Although Ye Zhang and the elders of the four major clans felt that something was wrong with Ye Xuan, it turned out that Ye Xuan was indeed incapable of doing this, so they had no choice but to believe it.
After they left, before Xue Qingqing could say anything, Liu'er beside him whispered: "Master, thank you..."
"Silly girl." Ye Xuan just smiled and said nothing more.
Chen Song's death has spread throughout Lianyung City. The Chen family also sent people to the Ye family, but they returned without success.
Ye Xuan thought that this matter would just go away, but on the third day after Chen Song's death, a letter suddenly was delivered to him.
"Who sent this?" Ye Xuan looked at the Ye family guard with some surprise.
"I don't know very well. The person who delivered the letter was just an errand boy, but he said that this letter needs to be opened by you, young master!" The guard of the Ye family shook his head.
"Okay, then go down."
Ye Xuan nodded.
Ye Xuan felt that logically no one would write to him, and he was a little surprised that there was nothing written outside the letter in his hand.
He tore open the envelope and took out the letter. After he read the contents of the letter, a burst of spiritual power burst out, shattering the letter into countless pieces.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Liu'er, who was sitting on a stone chair sewing a pair for Ye Xuan, asked in surprise.
"Liu'er, how long has Qingqing been out?" Ye Xuan asked with squinted eyes.
"It's been more than two hours since Sister Qingqing went out. Master, could it be that something happened to Sister Qingqing?" Liu'er asked.
Ye Xuan forced a smile and said: "No, that girl wanted to buy something but didn't bring any money. She called me over. Liu'er, just stay at home. Master, I just want to go out and buy something."
"Um."
Liu'er nodded obediently and didn't think much about it.
