Chapter 28 City Lord
“Stop! I have a clue!”
You Su shouted and stopped everyone’s movements.
“I have met Master Uncle He.”
A flash of surprise flashed in Wu Cheng’s eyes. He looked at You Su’s expression carefully and asked, “When have you met him?”
"August 12th."
Hearing this, Wu Cheng crossed his arms over his chest and began to think.
Today is August 17th.
Since Uncle He is often alone, it is normal for him to be invisible from time to time, so the exact time of his disappearance cannot be determined. But it can be roughly guessed that it was between the 10th and the 13th, because someone had seen him on the 9th. Can you Su Hu accurately say that it is within this range? Could it be that he really has a clue?
Contrary to what You Su guessed, although the Shouxiao Sect usually left Master He alone, the disappearance this time received great attention from the Shouxiao Sect’s leader, Master Wu Cheng, and the intensity of the investigation was not high. It's not big. Wu Cheng and others investigated for several days to no avail. They came here just for the sake of self-interest and pleasure, but they didn't expect to gain anything.
"I'm warning you, false testimony is a felony that is enough to land you in an immortal prison." Wu Cheng stared at You Su with his eyes wide open.
You Su ignored him. He turned to Ji Lingruo and said softly: "Junior sister, you go back to your room and rest first. I have something to say with them."
Ji Lingruo Just as he was about to say no, Yu Su grabbed Yu Su's hand and squeezed it gently. Yousu's hands were broad and strong, making her unable to help but want to believe him. She could only bite her lower lip and glance at You Su with concern and complaint, then glared at the group and retreated to her room.
Wu Ping looked at the girl's exquisite back and salivated.
After Ji Lingruo closed the door, You Su said: "At 12 o'clock in August, I went to the street to buy breakfast. When I came back, I met Uncle He on Xiliu Road."
< br>"How can a blind man be sure that it is Uncle He? Did the two of you talk?"
"No. But Master He has been stupid for many years and cannot take care of himself. His whole body is full of the stench of feces and urine, and there is a The medicinal smell of Xingshencao is unique to him."
"Is there any witness?"
"Everyone on the street can testify."
"I'm asking for witnesses who can prove that you met Uncle He!" Wu Cheng's voice was loud, as if he was interrogating the prisoner.
You Su glanced at Wu Cheng and said with an angry smile: "Wu Cheng, I think you should know better than me. The only people who will take that path are you, besides me."
You guys here , naturally speaking, it was the young monk who often surrounded Yousu on that inaccessible road.
“What do you mean!” Wu Cheng roared angrily, his hand already on the sword at his waist.
"I don't mean anything. If you doubt the authenticity of my words, you can ask the truth master from the sacred mountain to test me." You Su replied calmly.
Even if Shouxiao Sect could really invite those distinguished truth masters, You Su would not be afraid at all, because everything he said was true.
Wu Ping jumped to the side and said: "You Su, I think you are bluffing! If you really saw that fool on the 12th, then how come no one saw him on the 10th and 11th? He Before he disappeared, you were the only one who saw him in such a remote place. If you combine the two, aren't you the most suspicious person?"
Wu Cheng glanced at his brother approvingly, and Wu Ping noticed his brother's suspicion. His eyes and expression were also proud.
"Then Wu Ping, let me ask you, since even you know that I will be suspected if I admit that I met Master He, why should I admit it?"
"How do I know?"
“Okay, then tell me what Master Uncle He’s cultivation level is?”
"The Lingtai realm is perfect." "I just broke through to the Lingtai realm not long ago. Do you think I can defeat Master He who has reached the Lingtai realm?"
"How is that possible? Even if Uncle Master is stupid, you are not the one who can defeat him." Wu Ping rolled his eyes.
"Indeed, let me ask you again, is there anyone in this city who has enmity with Uncle He?"
"He is a fool, but he has a lot of cultivation, and everyone is afraid to avoid him. If not, who will become enemies with him? "
"In that case, who will harm him?"
"Who will harm him?" Wu Ping also. I was confused when I was asked, and I rubbed my head and asked myself, "Then why did Uncle He die?"
"Since no one in the city has any reason to harm him, it means that the murderer is someone else. If you don't go, Chengguan is investigating people who have come and gone recently. What are you searching for here?”
“Of course I’m here to make you sick!” Wu Ping answered very simply, feeling that every question asked by Yu Su was answered easily by him. , so awesome.
Wu Cheng saw that his younger brother looked stupid and was being led around by the nose. He felt that iron could not be made into steel, so he interrupted harshly:
"That's enough! You Su, if you really have a clear conscience, why did you stop us from searching your home again and again? You can tell us a thousand words, and we will have the answer when we finish the search!"
"Wu Cheng, Are you really going to get into such a situation?" You Su's voice was as cold as the sound of a cold sword.
You Su really didn't want to make the matter a big deal. His only thought was to get rid of these outsiders who were like dog-skin plasters. Otherwise, according to his character, he would never take the initiative to admit that he had met Master He.
As for the room of the junior sister and junior wife, it is an absolutely forbidden area. Even if he drags his sick body and fights to exhaustion, it is impossible for them to set foot in it. He is not afraid of the enemy in the world, he is just afraid that he is not capable of dealing with it at this time.
Wu Cheng sneered, completely ignoring the threat in You Su's tone. What he hated most was the arrogant look in You Su's eyes at this moment.
He is a young genius who has become famous in Izumo City. He is the future that the sect has high hopes for. In the near future, he will definitely set foot on the sacred mountain and leave his name there. Everyone has to look at him with admiration and envy, even if you are blind!
“Except for that woman’s room, search everything for me!”
Wu Cheng gave the order and everyone started to move again.
Water tanks, clothes hangers, and wooden tables were all overturned to the ground, making chaotic noises. They turned over everything at hand at will, like gangsters who broke into the village.
A fat monk touched the door of the main hall. He smiled obscenely and said: "I heard that this blind man has a wife who never leaves home. Today I have to see how beautiful she is. The beauty!”
He thought about the taste of those mature women in Chunxiang Building, and couldn't wait to push the door open.
The next moment, his two palms fell to the ground, as easily as fallen leaves blown by the wind. He was immediately frightened to death. He wanted to stop the blood spurting from his hands, but he had no palms to use.
Wu Cheng did not feel angry at the tragic situation of his men, but showed a smile of satisfaction.
Finally, I finally forced this blind man to take action!
He drew out his sword inlaid with gold and jade, licked the corner of his mouth, and rushed towards You Su at an alarming speed.
At this moment, the situation suddenly changed, and a strong coercion fell from the sky. Wu Ping and a group of outer monks even knelt down on the ground with painful expressions. Even You Su and Wu Cheng could only stop and use their Qi to resist.
“Stop it all!”
A rickety old man with gray hair and an angry face slowly walked in outside the dilapidated gate.
You Su remembered that this voice was none other than City Lord Liu, who had managed Izumo City for more than sixty years, and was also a good old man described by his master.
