Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 186 It was him
"Um, I would like to ask, does anyone know Mr. Lu's itinerary today?" You Xin took the liberty to interject and asked.

"No comment!" The tone behind the curtain was still cold.

"Oh? Don't you, Mr. Heron, want to know who killed your father? There should even be a hidden reason for your twin sister's death. Don't you, Mr. Heron, want to take revenge?"

After paying attention, through the hazy curtain, you can see the trembling body of Lord Heron in the sedan chair. It seems that these words have made Lord Heron's mood fluctuate.

"Before leaving the palace, I told Master Meng Zong and Master Hong Ming, what advice do you have?" Master Lu asked after calming down.

"Could you tell me the details? What are they doing afterwards?" Carefully asked again.

Master Lu was silent for a while and said: "Master Hongming has left the palace, while Master Meng Zong remains in the temple in the palace to pray for all people."

He rubbed his lips with his index finger and said carefully: "Although we were invited by Lord Meng Zong, we are always on the side of Brother Qiandao. Lord Lu should know his thoughts, right?"

"Huh! It's just that I don't know anything." Lord Lu said angrily.

"Get off! Go back to the palace!" Lord Lu gave the order, and the guards turned the bull's head and drove away slowly.

Qiandao looked at the oxcart in the distance with a lonely expression. He didn't know when it happened that the friends he once talked to about everything were now so distant. He vowed in his heart that he would help Mr. Lu solve the problem.

"Pay attention, do you know something? Is the boss really killed by a traitor?" Qiandao said closer.

Hexin smiled slightly and said, "Go back and see what Neji has to say."

The two returned to Meng Zong's mansion in the evening, Qiandao went to Meng Zong's study, and waited for him to tell him about the assassination of Master Lu after he came back from the palace.

When he returned to his room, Neji and Tiantian also rushed back at this time.

Neji opened his eyes and scanned the surrounding yard, and then said mysteriously: "I went to the tomb of the boss today. Although the body has been there for more than a year, you can still see signs of venom remaining in his abdomen. He is indeed He was poisoned."

Tiantian whispered: "Master Hongming entered the palace today, so I sneaked into the temple and found a secret passage under the floor in the southwest corner of the temple. I didn't dare to act rashly, so I came back to report it first."

Kakashi said: "Meng Zong has been in the palace all day today, and I didn't follow him. Pay attention to what's going on over there?"

Hexin Weiwei talked about what happened today, and Tiantian said after hearing this: "Only Master Mengzong and Master Hongming know the whereabouts of Master Lu, and Master Mengzong has been in the palace all day, and he should not have time to plan such a thing. Could it be that Hongming grown ups?"

Hexin gritted his teeth and analyzed: "The current ghost case can be said to have been triggered by the murder of the boss. So what is the purpose of the ghost's appearance? Who is good for it?"

"The death of the old Daimyo is related to the position of Daimyo. Who has the greatest benefit is naturally Lord Hongming. However, with the support of Lord Meng Zong, Lord Lu finally succeeded to the position of Daimyo. Perhaps he wanted to use the ghost warrior to kill Lord Lu. ?" Neji said.

"There are many ways to kill Lord Heron. Why use the rumors of ghost warriors to involve the old name of the boss? On this point, I don't think Hong Ming is so stupid." Liu Xin replied.

"Perhaps he wants to use this matter to bring down Master Meng Zong, who has been opposing him?" Tiantian said tentatively.

"Framing?" Kakashi touched his chin and asked.

"But have you noticed that everything seems to be pointing at Hongming now? Whether it's the ghost warrior who ran away from Hongming's mansion yesterday or the assassination of Lord Heron today, it has nothing to do with him."

Hexin said, "It seems like he did it all, and we just happened to find it all."

"Is this just like this, we just think too much?" Tiantian's mind was in a mess. "Too smooth is itself suspicious, and as a ninja, you should be aware of the details." Kakashi said.

He Xin deeply agreed. If Hong Ming was really up to something, there was no need to rush. He chose to frantically expose so many doubts to himself when Meng Zong asked Konoha ninjas to investigate the case.

"We should remain unchanged to cope with the ever-changing situation. If someone is planning all this, we should not alert the enemy and just wait and see what happens."

Heed concluded, then suggested.

"Tonight Neji, Tenten, I, and I are going to take a look at the underground passages of the temple. Kakashi-sensei is still looking at the mansion."

Kakashi nodded knowingly. Ever since he arrived in the Bird Country, Liu Zong had been advising him to monitor Meng Zong. With his understanding of Liu Zong, he would definitely not be untargeted. I'm afraid there is something wrong with Meng Zong.

He did what he said, and he, Neji, and Tenten immediately left and came to the vicinity of the mysterious temple.

Unexpectedly, I met Hongming in the dark night. I saw him holding a lone lantern and secretly arriving in front of the temple. After looking around for a while, he walked to the temple and gently pushed open the two doors.

"It's really him?" Tian Tian, ​​who was hiding in the dark of the treetops, asked in surprise.

Anyone who sees Hong Ming acting so sneaky can't help but become suspicious.

Before Hong Ming could push the door open, the door opened from the inside, and a tall figure stood on the edge of the door, holding a spear in white armor.

"Why did you call me here?" Hong Ming raised his head and showed no fear on his face.

"Lord Hong Ming, our failure in today's mission is unforgivable, but your will will definitely come true."

The ghost warrior made a thick voice from his thick armor.

"What! What are you talking about!" Hong Ming asked angrily, loudly.

The ghost warrior did not respond, and then his body collapsed, and the armor he wore fell into pieces, and green ink flowed out of the pieces of armor.

"What's going on?" Tiantian asked confused.

"It can be seen that the one just now was a human. It seemed that strong acid was used to melt his body." Neji replied.

Hearing the sudden feeling, melting one's body with strong acid sounds more than a hundred times more terrifying than a ghost.

Hong Ming felt incredible at the scene in front of him. He hurriedly raised his head and looked around, only to see clusters of fire rising far away from the courtyard wall, and then became brighter and brighter. "The Ghost Warrior is there!"

In the darkness, a group of guards surrounded Master Meng Zong and came looking for him. The firelight illuminated the courtyard of the temple. The scene in front of him caught Hongming off guard, and he secretly thought that he was careless after all.

"Hongming, what are you doing!" Meng Zong pointed at the ghost warrior's armor on the ground and asked sharply.

Hongming sighed and looked at the guards under Meng Zong. They were armed forces that only Master Lu could mobilize besides himself. "Master Heron asked you to come?"

Meng Zongdayi said solemnly: "Hongming, Lord Lu has long been aware of your evil intentions. You have been coveting the position of Daimyo for a long time since the death of the boss Mingxian. You even sent out ghost warriors to assassinate Lord Lu, causing the country to be in turmoil and the people to live in ruins. What else can you say now that everyone has stolen goods?"
