Volume Three: The Mystery in the Picture Chapter 181: The Murderer's Next Target
But Nangong Qi didn't know that although Hang Tianyi didn't like drinking, he was no longer afraid of wine. He only heard him calmly answer: "Definitely!"
Nangong Qi couldn't help but be stunned. He really couldn't figure out what Hang Tianyi was thinking.
Seeing how powerful Nangong Qi was, Hang Tianyi took Zhang Chenyu, Li Chunlai and the others back to Kyoto Prefecture.
"Boss, how do you think this person threw the painting over? The painting seemed to appear out of thin air!" Li Chunlai said.
Hang Tianyi has long known that the murderer's cultivation is very good, and it is not difficult to do this kind of thing.
At that time, everyone's attention was entirely on the painting, who would think about anything else? Even he didn't think about who threw the painting out.
"It's useless to think about it. What we need to think about now is who the murderer's next target will be!" Hang Tianyi said.
"The murderer's target, will he continue to kill people?" Zhang Chenyu said.
Hang Tianyi said: "Do you think he made such a big noise just for fun?"
"If he were to take action again, who would his target be?" Li Chunlai said.
Zhang Chenyu was unable to answer at this time.
Hang Tianyi thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "The murderer led everyone to Mingfeng Tower today, but threw out eight five-beautiful pictures. Seven of them must be fakes!"
"But none of us are treasure appraisers, and we don't know whether these paintings are authentic or fake. Moreover, when I look at each of the five beautiful paintings, they are almost the same. It's not a joke to confuse the fake with the real one!" Zhang Chenyu said.
"Yes, ordinary people will definitely not be able to tell, but what if they are treasure appraisers?" Hang Tianyi said.
"That's right. Anyone who gets the painting will definitely go to a treasure appraiser for appraisal. If this is the case, the murderer is likely to be a treasure appraiser. His next targets are Nangong Qi, Fan Dinghua, and Lian Bufan.
One of them!" Li Chunlai's heart was trembling violently.
Hang Tianyi nodded: "That should be the case!"
"But if that's the case, how did the murderer know that it was Nangong Qi, Fan Dinghua, and Lian Bufan who stole the painting?" Zhang Chenyu asked.
Hang Tianyi said: "He didn't know it was these three people, but these three people will definitely grab the painting, because their cultivation is absolutely top-notch, so the murderer's target is likely to be these three people."
It could be one of them, or both of them!"
Having said this, Hang Tianyi paused and continued: "Check, see who among the three of them has been to Shuzhou five years ago. Lian Bufan and Fan Dinghua will be left to you. I will go to Vientiane
Pavilion!"
Hang Tianyi gave the order and took action. Now he finally has some clues about this matter.
In addition, Hang Tianyi also hopes that Liu Ying can come back soon.
When he arrived at Wanxiang Pavilion, Nangong Qi personally greeted him. He did not expect that Hang Tianyi would come to Wanxiang Pavilion just after leaving Mingfeng Tower.
"Brother Hang, is there something important?" Nangong Qi asked.
Hang Tianyi did not go around and asked directly: "Brother Nangong, have you ever been to Shuzhou five years ago? What is your relationship with the Lin family in Shuzhou?"
"Going to Shuzhou? The Lin family?" Nangong Qi's eyes were filled with confusion.
In terms of cultivation, Hang Tianyi is far inferior to Nangong Qi, but in terms of observing words and expressions, Hang Tianyi is definitely not inferior to Nangong Qi. He can see that Nangong Qi is not lying.
In this way, Hang Tianyi finally let go of his hanging heart. He was really afraid that Nangong Qi would be involved in this murder case. After all, now he really regarded the domineering president as a friend.
"Brother Hang, are you suspecting something?" Nangong Qi asked.
Hang Tianyi didn't hide anything at Nangongqi's place and told his speculation.
Nangong Qi frowned. In this case, the killer's target was not him, but Lian Bufan, Fan Dinghua, or both of them.
"What on earth did this murderer want to do? None of the people he killed were simple!" Nangong Qi said.
Hang Tianyi sighed: "Today is not simple, but they have been simple before. In order to achieve today, everything they have done will eventually have to pay a price!"
Nangong Qi couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. It's no wonder that Hang Tianyi didn't talk about the Lin family in Shuzhou, but simply talked about today's speculation.
"Brother Hang, I think no matter what you do, you must have your own bottom line. The sky is full of reincarnation. Only when you are upright can you not be afraid of slanted shadows!" Nangong Qi said.
"If everyone was like Brother Nangong, there would be a lot less grudges and grudges in this world. Unfortunately, people's hearts have always been like this!" Hang Tianyi said.
Nangong Qi nodded: "I'll tell them to prepare food and drinks. How about having a few drinks?"
Hang Tianyi waved his hand: "Let's wait another day. We really don't have time for all these messy things right now!"
Nangong Qi had a look of regret in his eyes, but he didn't force Hang Tianyi to stay.
Not long after returning from Wanxiang Pavilion, Zhang Chenyu and Li Chunlai also came back.
"How is it?" Hang Tianyi asked.
Li Chunlai said: "I'm checking on Mr. Lian Bufan. He not only went to Shuzhou five years ago, but also visited it several times. In fact, for business, Mr. Lian spent a lot of time running away!"
"Shopkeeper Fan also went to Shuzhou five years ago!" Zhang Chenyu said.
Even Bufan and Fan Dinghua are not ordinary people. To find out these things, Li Chunlai and Zhang Chenyu will naturally need some means.
Hang Tianyi ignored the process, all he wanted was the result.
Once, Hang Tianyi excluded Lian Bufan as the murderer, but now, he has become the target of the murderer. Such changes made Hang Tianyi sigh.
Lian Bufan had contacts with Ye Zhenzhen, Zhou Kui, and Wu Qiming. According to the information found by Li Chunlai, Wu Qiming went to Shuzhou to escort Lian Bufan.
In this way, Fan Dinghua became less suspicious.
Could it be that the murderer's next target is Lian Bufan?
However, Lian Bufan had a very good relationship with Gu Yuanci. If he really needed to identify the treasure, he would have been looking for Gu Yuanci. The murderer had no chance at all.
Could it be that his inference was wrong? But if not, what was the murderer’s intention?
For a moment, Hang Tianyi fell into deep thought. Obviously, it is not easy to understand these questions.
This clue, reaching this point, has been temporarily tied into a knot, and there is no way to untie it.
Another clue is to wait for Liu Ying to return from Shuzhou.
At this time, the days of waiting are undoubtedly the most painful, because Hang Tianyi has no idea whether the murderer's target is Fan Dinghua or Lian Bufan, and he doesn't know when he will take action.
"No, the more it is at this time, the more important it is to keep calm!" Hang Tianyi said softly in his heart.
At this time, he continued to sort out all the clues and determined that the murderer's targets were Lian Bufan and Fan Dinghua.
After a trip to Lianfu, maybe everything will become clear.
