"..."
Zhao Ritian was speechless, why did it explode again?
"No, Wu Qingming is dead."
"What? Wu Qingming is dead?"
Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei were both surprised when they heard Zhao Ritian's words.
Although Wu Qingming was seriously injured, he couldn't die, right?
How come people died in just one day?
"Kill him?"
Xiao Chen looked more serious and asked.
"Um."
Zhao Ritian nodded.
"When he was found, he was already dead."
"Where's the soul?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"With Wu Qingming's strength, the soul is not weak."
"I didn't find it, maybe my soul is gone."
After Zhao Ritian sat down, he took a sip of tea.
"Now the city lord's palace is in chaos...Wu Qingming's death is a big deal."
"Wu Qingming died in the City Lord's Mansion. Even if it has nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion, he cannot absolve himself of the blame."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"Yes, the most important thing is... people in the city lord's mansion were killed quietly in broad daylight."
Zhao Ritian nodded.
"The people from Qingyun Tower have already gone to the City Lord's Mansion and want an explanation."
"When did it happen?"
Wang Pingbei asked hurriedly.
When he went to inquire about the news in the afternoon, there was no movement at Qingyun Tower.
"Just now... I was just thinking about coming to you and delivering a storage device to Brother Chen, but this happened."
Zhao Ritian said, took out two storage devices and handed them to Xiao Chen.
"See how it goes."
"very good."
Xiao Chen looked at it briefly and put it away.
"Wu Qingming's death must be closely related to Gongsun Zhen..."
"Gongsun Zhen? But even if he wants to kill Wu Qingming, he can't go to the city lord's mansion and do it quietly, right?"
Zhao Ritian frowned. In terms of suspicion, Gongsun Zhen was indeed the biggest suspect.
"It's hard to say what method to use, but it definitely has something to do with Gongsun Zhen."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Besides him, there is also the Shengtian Sect, maybe the Great Venerable Fierce Snake? He knew that Wu Qingming had been arrested, and he was afraid that some secrets would be revealed, so he killed him and silenced him?"
Zhao Ritian said.
"I think his suspicion is also very high."
"..."
Wang Pingbei couldn't help but glance at the bone ring on Xiao Chen's left hand. The Great Venerable Snake was very suspicious?
Big yarn!
This old guy's head is still inside the ring!
Only if he turns into a ghost can he kill Wu Qingming.
No, he couldn't become a ghost even if he wanted to... Xiao Chen sacrificed the Xuanyuan Sword, which caused the great Venerable Lie Snake to fly away.
"It shouldn't be the Shengtian Sect. Doing this would be even more risky for them."
Xiao Chen couldn't directly say that Lord Lie Snake was dead, so he said slowly.
"Even we all know that Wu Qingming will definitely not admit it, so it is impossible to tell the secret, so there is no need to kill... Even if he wants to kill, there is no need to kill him so early. We can look for opportunities later."
"Yes, when you say so, Gongsun Zhen is indeed the biggest suspect."
Zhao Ritian nodded.
"With their conflict and hatred, it is not impossible to secretly assassinate him."
"It's not just conflict and hatred. If Wu Qingming dies, the situation of Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang will be much better."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"After all, the dead will not defend themselves. As soon as Wu Qingming dies, his identity as a demon sect will be nailed... Yesterday, Gongsun Zhen had been planning to kill Wu Qingming, and this was his plan."
After listening to Xiao Chen's words, Zhao Ritian thought for a while, thoughtfully, and it seemed that this was really the case.
"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion together."
Xiao Chen got up.
"Perhaps I can help City Lord Zhao come up with some ideas."
"Yeah, let's go."
Zhao Ritian nodded. Others are not qualified to participate, but Xiao Chen is definitely qualified.
The three of them left the inn and came to the city lord's mansion.
There is obviously a lot of martial law here.
A burst of noise came from the depths of the city lord's mansion.
They are the strong men of Qingyun Tower. Wu Qingming died in the city lord's palace. They must have an explanation.
Not only the people from Qingyun Tower, but also Gongsun Zhen, Ji Wuji, Huai Tianlei and others arrived.
"Zhao Cangqiong, man, we left it to you, and now he's dead, what should I say?"
That 'Elder Qian' looked at Zhao Cangqiong and said coldly.
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give an explanation to Qingyun Tower."
Zhao Cangqiong said in a deep voice.
As the city lord and one of the leaders, he cannot escape his responsibility.
This is what he must face.
Not only him, but also Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei.
On this matter, the three of them had the same opinion, and some decisions were made together.
After all, Gongsun Zhen is involved here.
"Brother Chen."
Zhao Yuanji noticed Xiao Chen and came over quickly.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Why is he here?"
Gongsun Zhen looked at Xiao Chen with a cold expression.
To be continued...
