When Cao Yan said that he had lost 500,000 spirit stones, Zhang Chi knew that there was some moisture in it.
After all, it takes a lot of effort to move half a million spirit stones.
However, now that the matter has become a big deal, it no longer matters how much or how little is stolen. The Hezuo Alliance will pursue it at all costs, and maybe even borrow some powerful spiritual weapons.
After all, this is a world of cultivating immortals. If something is hidden, it will not be exposed. Whether it can be found depends on whether the price is high enough.
This is why Zhang Chi subconsciously thought of running away.
Run away early. Even if they know it, they won't be able to catch you if you get too far away.
But he never expected that these people would really dare!
How many spiritual stones can two sacks hold?
How many spiritual stones can he store under his bed?
Zhang Chi had previously wondered whether the second brother had secretly hidden the spirit stones in other places before causing such a big commotion, and secretly felt that he had suddenly become rich.
In this way, it doesn't matter if he takes the money and runs away. He has even planned how to escape safely and live in another place.
But why the hell do they dare to claim a loss of 500,000 even if two sacks can hold 500?
Crazy?
Only a thief can know how wronged a thief is.
At this moment, Zhang Chi had no intention of running away.
No matter how you run, if you dare to take my money, you will die!
Gu Youyou: "..."
Although these people are a bit outrageous, they are not greedy for your money, right?
This was the first time that Gu Youyou had seen Zhang Chi so angry, but the reason for his anger was also quite outrageous.
As a demon, Gu Youyou often feels that he cannot keep up with the thinking of these humans.
Cao Yan and Qing Hui have already explained the situation. The thieves stole half a million spiritual stones quietly, and no clues were found at the scene.
Tang Feng's heart moved and he said, "Could it be that because my daughter was rescued by Zhang Xiaoyou, the thief had a grudge and deliberately took revenge?"
Zhang Chi: "..."
If he hadn't known that Tang Feng was a bit naive, he would have even suspected that Tang Feng was on the same team as them.
From the thief's perspective, Zhang Chi could see more clearly.
There is no doubt that Cao Yan and Qing Hui must be participants in corruption, and the group of foundation-building monks who participated in the patrol of Lingshi Cave must also be participants in the interests.
Five hundred thousand spirit stones, what a huge amount of wealth it will be if you get it in your hands, it is very simple to win people's hearts.
What's more, with Cao Yan and Qing Hui colluding, those who disobey may not survive.
Zhang Chi knew this, but it was not easy to accuse them.
According to usual practice, Jiang Qingyun should ask him for his opinion, otherwise there would be no need to call him over.
Zhang Chi was already ready to show off, but Jiang Qingyun said: "Vice Hall Master Zhou, what do you think about this matter?"
Hall Master Zhou's name is Zhou You, he is Chongxu's son, Zhou Ran's father, and a late-stage foundation-building monk.
The White Tiger Hall is the combat department of the Hezuo League. It has two hall masters, who are from the Dan Hall and the Weapon Refining Pavilion, but they are only in name and under supervision.
The one who really does the work is Zhou You, the deputy hall master.
Zhou You was able to sit in this position, of course because of the support of the Great Elder, in order to restrain Jiang Qingyun's power.
As soon as Jiang Qingyun heard that the spiritual stones had been stolen and the amount was so large, she had no intention of letting Zhang Chi get involved.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Chi, a disciple of Qi Condensation, would not be qualified to participate in a major case such as the theft of spiritual stones.
But he had just rescued Tang Ruoling, and the person responsible for the theft of the spirit stone this time might be the same thief as before. With the great elder's recommendation, Jiang Qingyun had no choice but to let Zhang Chi attend this alliance meeting.
The Great Elder can ask Zhang Chi to participate, but the power of who will be responsible for the investigation still lies with Jiang Qingyun.
Jiang Qingyun also gave Zhang Chi a look while speaking.
Don't worry about this.
When Zhou You heard Jiang Qingyun's question, his mind was still confused. What did he think?
But Zhou You is also an old man. I don’t know how to do it myself, so I can let others do it!
"I heard that our sect has a genius in solving crimes, why not listen to his opinion first?"
Everyone's attention was successfully transferred to Zhang Chi, and Jiang Qingyun gave another warning look.
Disciple, the water here is too deep, you can’t control it!
Jiang Qingyun is not stupid. Small thieves are thieves. Those who steal so much are called big thieves. When this amount is reached, investigating them becomes a dangerous matter.
What should I do if Zhang Chi is retaliated during his Qi Condensation Period?
However, Zhang Chi didn't seem to understand her hint and took a step calmly. With this step, his aura was completely different from before, like a sharp sword unsheathed.
I am sworn in with sin!
I'm serious this time!
Seeing his righteous and awe-inspiring look, Jiang Qingyun had a hunch that he was done for.
Zhang Chi did not cause trouble as soon as he came out, but first saluted Zhou Xian and thanked him for his recognition.
Seeing this made Jiang Qingyun want to roll her eyes.
Are you stupid? He wants to harm you and you still thank him!
After Zhang Chi thanked Zhou You, he looked at Cao Yan and Qing Hui, bowed his hands and said, "I have a few questions, can I ask these two seniors?"
Cao Yan seemed nervous, which was reasonable. He had lost so many spiritual stones when he was the cave master, and he was going to suffer a lot this time.
Qing Hui is more calm.
An elder in the realm of the soul is a treasure to every sect. If there is no evidence, no one can do anything to him.
This is the reason why he dares to covet so much.
Zhang Chi's etiquette was in place, and it was difficult for them to refuse in public, lest it cause complications.
Seeing that they all agreed, Zhang Chi said to Cao Yan, "May I ask Master Cao Cao if yesterday's inventory of the warehouse was correct?"
The warehouse must be checked every day and recorded in a book. This is common sense. Of course, this common sense is only known by relevant personnel.
Zhang Chi has extensive knowledge and naturally knows this rule.
Cao Yan quickly said: "There was no problem during the inventory."
"When was the count completed?"
"About You hour."
"It was Yinshi when the theft was discovered. In other words, during this period, the thief stole 500,000 spiritual stones from the warehouse, right?"
Cao Yan thought for a while and realized that Zhang Chi was summarizing their statements and there was nothing wrong with them, so he nodded.
Zhang Chi looked at Qing Hui again and said, "Did Elder Qing Hui stay in the warehouse last night?"
Zhang Chi got to the key point by asking this question.
Think about it, is it too outrageous that half a million spiritual stones were stolen under the eyes of a powerful soul?
So Zhang Chi guessed that he would admit a small mistake and create evidence of his alibi.
Sure enough, Elder Qinghui hesitated for a moment before replying awkwardly: "I stayed at the Red Boat last night."
The employees of Red Boat, which is a high-end club, are all monks with low cultivation. They only have good appearance and serve people with sex. They are professionals.
Because the water transportation in this area of the Panlong River Basin is particularly developed, practitioners usually use waterways to sail ships to various places. In order to separate them from those transport ships, the appearance of this type of ship is painted red and festive, so
The famous red boat.
The elder stayed overnight on the red boat, which was not a big deal at first.
When it comes to cultivating immortals, isn’t there another question?
What's more, monks in the Soul Realm mainly train their mental state.
Asking questions can be regarded as a kind of state of mind practice.
After listening to this, Zhang Chi knew what Qing Hui had prepared, and it was estimated that the witnesses on the Red Ship side were already prepared.
Under normal circumstances, he might be able to fool him.
But Zhang Chi reversed the process with the answer. He skipped the suspicion stage and confirmed that Qing Hui was the thief. The more Qing Hui prepared, the more flaws he found...
