The scorching air flow seemed to freeze, distorting the light. The tables and chairs in the living room were dry and dehydrated, presenting a state that could be ignited at any time.

,
Zhang Baili, the grandmaster, had an astonishing aura, but Meng Qi seemed completely unaware of it. Not only did he not react with anger, but he was like a spring breeze, with a deep aura. He smiled and said: Mr. Zhang, I am not doubting your Zhang family, but since Feng Zheng died here , where is the responsibility, you have to check it out.
Zhang Baili felt that the other party was nothing, and his own aura was hitting the void. He felt indescribably uncomfortable, and he suddenly understood in his heart that Crazy Sword was really a Grand Master level figure, and he was already on the same level as himself and other Grand Masters. difference.
His momentum was frustrated and he was not justified. Zhang Baili did not dare to forcefully expel Meng Qi, lest he become the target of other families, so he could only say with a straight face:
Then please ask Mr. Su to investigate the case as soon as possible and clear the name of the Zhang family in Longnan.
Upon seeing this, Liu Shengming exited the living room and summoned nearby spies, including some people lurking in the Zhang family. After this time, they would change their roles.
Meng Qi cast his gaze towards Zhang Yu: Bring Feng Zheng’s body and the senior Zhang family member you mentioned.
The panic on Zhang Yu's expression didn't seem to be fake, and he said solemnly: "The chief arrester will wait a moment."
After he exited the living room, Meng Qi put his hands behind his back and walked to the window, looking at the pond full of carp corpses with deep eyes, as if admiring the scenery, and never looked at Zhang Baili again.
Being sent by his family to serve as the Councilor of the Political Hall, Zhang Baili, although he looked as rough as a bear, was actually a very powerful person in the city. At this time, he restrained his anger, walked to Meng Qi's side, looked at the pond, and sighed. : Feng Zheng was involved in the death of the emperor
Without waiting for Meng Qi's answer, he thought to himself: There was no good place for him to die, but he died in our Zhang Mansion. The intention of setting the blame is self-evident.
The implication is. If Zhang from Longnan is the instigator behind the scenes, silencing an important witness at home is tantamount to actively exposing her.
Feng Zheng, who you took away first, should not be silenced because of the new clues he got. Moreover, in the chaos of the past few days, there were many opportunities for silence to be silenced without anyone noticing. Meng Qi still didn't look at Zhang Baili, quietly feeling his emotional changes.
A little panic and fear
Hearing this, Zhang Baili breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The chief police officer is smart and can see through at a glance that someone is blaming our Longnan Zhang family."
Unconsciously, he seemed to be a head shorter in front of Meng Qi.
Meng Qi turned around with his hands behind his back. Looking at him with a smile: "But there is something that I am very curious about. Why not just go to the palace to interrogate him instead of bringing him to Zhang's house?"
Zhang Baili sighed: It's our Zhang family's fault. Many of the children are used to being domineering. They don't pay attention to the Six Gates and the imperial court. They feel that there is no such thing as the Zhang family in Longnan coming to torture in person.
I apologize on behalf of the head of the family, and I will punish Zhang Yu as much as Mr. Su punishes him for arresting the head.
He admitted his mistake frankly and was extremely sincere, but Meng Qi was stunned. has a problem
Except for the relatively low-key top families like the Zhoujun Wang family and the Jiangdong Wang family, other major families who do not regard privileges as normal will reprimand their children for being domineering. They must use this as an excuse. cover up the real reason
Originally, Meng Qi felt that the Longnan Zhang family would not be stupid enough to silence him in his own family. He suspected that there was something fishy about Feng Zheng's death. The posture he had just adopted was to prevent the Zhang family from thinking too highly of themselves and pushing back and forth. It hindered the investigation, but now it seems that they really have a problem.
Thoughts are rolling in my mind. With no expression on his face, Meng Qi didn't answer. He walked around with his hands behind his back, as if he was the master of the Zhang Mansion. He had no aura and was able to steadily control the situation just by relying on his name and status as the chief catcher.
After a while, Zhang Yu and an old man with a maroon face returned together, holding Feng Zheng's body.
This is Mr. Zhang Benshao, a branch of our Zhang family, who has a relationship with Feng Zheng. Zhang Yu introduced.
Meng Qi took a look and saw that Zhang Benshao's breath was not weak, and there was a scorching sun in his eyes, which was probably the peak of the fourth and fifth heavens. His emotions were restrained without ripples, while Feng Zheng's heart and brain were shattered inch by inch, with no obsession left on his body. There are no other wounds or traces, and it seems to be suicide.
At this moment, Liu Shengming stepped into the living room with a strange man. This man was dressed as Zhang's servant. His eyes were lowered and his brows were furrowed. He was quite old.
As soon as he saw him, Zhang Baili's expression changed, and then he forcibly returned to normal. It might not have been noticed by anyone else, but in front of Meng Qi's Yuanxin Seal, his mood swings were as vivid as fireflies in the night. Such clarity.
Chief catcher, this spy has clues to report. Liu Shengming cupped his hands and said.
Zhang Baili's eyes narrowed, and he retracted his sleeve with his left hand. His fingers wriggled in strange postures. Finally, he flicked his fingers, and an invisible finger light penetrated through the robe and went straight to the servant of the Zhang family.
This dark light seemed to come from outside the universe. It was invisible and extremely difficult to detect. It looked like a curse on the middle finger.
As soon as the fingerlight came out of the robe, Zhang Baili saw Meng Qi's clasped hands parting. With a casual wave of his right sleeve, the fingerlight disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace of fireworks.
Back to the chief arrester, someone just came out of Zhang Yu's yard and left in a carriage at the back door. The Zhang family servant glanced at Zhang Baili fearfully, but still answered honestly and described the characteristics and appearance of the carriage in detail.
The reason why I was riding in the carriage just now was because I was afraid that my senses would envelope the surrounding area and I would be able to detect the slightest error. Meng Qi nodded slightly and understood the reason.
At times like this, normal people’s travels can hide the truth.
Looking back at Zhang Baili, Meng Qi saw that his face was turning green and red, and he was extremely embarrassed.
Is the one who left the one who really wanted to see Feng Zheng? Meng Qi asked in a positive tone, then his face straightened, and he also asked everyone in your house to stay here for the time being and not to go out.
He turned sideways and ordered Liu Shengming: Hold a certain token, recruit the arresters, seal off the area, and no one can enter or leave.
Suddenly, Zhang Baili laughed and his expression returned to normal: Mr. Su is here to arrest Feng Zheng. Feng Zheng did commit suicide. The person who left was just a guest of my Zhang family in Longnan. He happened to have something to do. When he comes back, the truth will be revealed. , if you want to block it, block it.
He seemed to have nothing to fear. As long as he was out of Meng Qi's sensing range, with the prosperity of the city, the people in the car could blend into the crowd without anyone noticing, making it difficult to find them.
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant of the Zhang family said: Chief arrester, Zhang Yu mentioned that Feng Zheng's return home was unusual. His subordinates had suspicions before, so when they saw the mysterious man covered with a cloak coming out, they were suspicious. Pass the message and ask nearby spies to pay attention to the whereabouts of the carriage and identify all those who get off.
Zhang Baili narrowed his eyes and said nothing, which made Meng Qi confirm one thing. The mysterious man was very powerful and could be tracked and targeted by non-secret agents.
good. He praised the Zhang family's servant, you can relinquish this position and go back to the headquarters to wait for promotion. If something happens to you and your family in the future, someone will ask the Longnan Zhang family to avenge you. If one person dies in your family, his family will Death scene.
You were just thinking about how to get revenge on the traitor Zhang Baili blurted out and glared at Meng Qi.
Meng Qi looked into his eyes with a smile and said calmly: "I am too lazy to investigate who is the real murderer. Therefore, if something happens to their family, I will come to you, the Longnan Zhang family. You'd better pray that his family is safe." Or send someone to protect you.
Words like domineering, rampant, and arrogant popped up in Zhang Baili's mind one after another, making his right hand tremble slightly with anger, but so many years of experience have long established a golden sign for Meng Qi. Old Man Jucian and others have proven this with their own lives, and judging from himself, Zhang Baili never expected that his family would completely fall out with Kuang Dao over such a trivial matter.
Sure enough, under the same conditions, if a domineering person takes advantage, others will unconsciously give in or compromise.
Silence, or could only remain silent. After watching Meng Qi and others leave, Zhang Baili grabbed a vase and threw it to the ground, smashing it into pieces: "Yellow-haired boy, you are really hateful."
Chief Inspector, do you want to wait for information and pursue the carriage? Yagyu Shengming asked.
Meng Qi smiled and raised his hands again: Of course, with the speed of the carriage, it has not left the certain sensing range at this time. As long as it looks like it and has the aura of the Zhang family, it is not difficult to find it.
This is okay. Liu Shengming was stunned. He didn't lock the carriage immediately. There were people coming and going in Shendu. How could he find it
This is also where Zhang Baili’s confidence lies.
Meng Qi didn't say anything. He printed the skin with his hand and explored with his right hand, searching for a connection.
I can do it if others can't
After a while, Meng Qi took a step and flashed in the air, and Liu Shengming hurriedly followed.
Within a few steps, a carriage appeared in Liu Shengming's sight, exactly as Zhang's servant described.
It was Liu Shengming who heard Meng Qi's slightly confused voice.
Who was it? His spirit disappeared immediately as soon as he entered the carriage.
As soon as the two people landed in front of the carriage, a soft voice came from it: Nephew Su Xian is blocking the road ahead, can you see me if you have anything
It was him, Liu Shengming, whose pupils shrank violently, who turned out to be Cui Qingyu, the current head of the Cui family and the master of Zhige Sword.
I don’t know why the head of the Cui family got into the current state in the Longnan Zhang family’s carriage. Even when facing Cui Qingyu, Meng Qi didn’t have the slightest fear and asked calmly.
Cui Qingyu opened the curtain and walked out. There was no one inside: I came back from being a guest at the Zhang family's house, why couldn't I take their carriage
Meng Qi's face changed slightly, looking a little ugly. He suddenly turned around and left without asking anything.
The chief arrester, Cui Qingyu, who tortured Feng Zheng, and Liu Shengming followed up and asked doubtfully.
No, but with Cui Qingyu's help, the man had escaped. At this time, Meng Qi's demeanor was relaxed, completely different from his previous performance. Don't worry, there is still a chance, we are just waiting.
His tone was confident and his posture was calm, and he seemed to have grasped the key point.
Liu Shengming didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only say: Chief Catcher, where are we going now
Find Concubine Hua. Meng Qi said calmly. . .
