Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 187 Darkness Chen Cang
Hong Ming glanced at Meng Zong and the surrounding guards with a gloomy expression, and then looked at the warrior armor scattered on the ground. He couldn't argue for a while, "I have nothing to say!"

"Sir! You can identify yourself from the token on the armor. It is none other than Captain Oishi of the Guards!"

Several officers and soldiers gathered around the armor to inspect it, and the token they found was held by Captain Oishi of the Guards. As we all know, Oishi is Hongming's confidant. Now the evidence is conclusive and irrefutable. Hongming is undoubtedly the mastermind of the ghost case.

Hexin looked at the scene in front of him in silence. Everything was going too smoothly. The role of the Konoha ninjas and his team seemed to be to serve as witnesses, and they were clearly arranged.

He turned over and jumped down from the treetop. After greeting Meng Zong, he took out the plum blossom-shaped shuriken used by the daytime assassin. A weapon commonly used by your lordship's personal guard."

Then he walked up to Hongming and said, "Sir, you are the murderer!"

Hong Ming snorted coldly and turned his head away from looking at her.

"Even the Konoha ninja said this, so it must be conclusive, here comes someone! Take Hong Ming into custody and behead him in public three days later!" Meng Zong waved his hand, and the guards below immediately took action.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Heyin. I owe a lot to you for saving Lord Heron and his party during the day. You didn't invite the wrong person this time." Meng Zong's face glowed red and he was full of praise for the Konoha ninjas.

"Everywhere, Lord Meng Zong cares about the country and finally solved this ghost case."

Xin Xin hurriedly saluted as a modest gesture, but there was a trace of youthful complacency on his face, Meng Zong laughed out loud when he saw it.

After the matter came to an end, after returning to Meng Zong's mansion, he noticed that he came to his room, and Kakashi and others were there.

"I'm relieved now. This thing seems to be going too smoothly. We don't need to do anything?" Tiantian said doubtfully.

Neji took over and said: "To be precise, we witnessed the entire process of Hong Ming's crime."

"Did Kakashi-sensei find anything?" Heiwen asked.

Kakashi said thoughtfully: "No discovery is the biggest discovery. I didn't even notice any of the other party's armed forces in Meng Zong's mansion. It seems to have been carefully arranged."

Pay attention to Youyou said: "I'm afraid we are being used as a gun."

Then he glanced at everyone, "We will say goodbye to Meng Zong tomorrow. People always get carried away when they are proud. If someone wants to hide the truth, we will use a trick to trick Chen Cang."

Early the next morning, Hen Xin and his party said goodbye to Qiandao and Meng Zong. After a simple banquet, Meng Zong thanked everyone in Konoha profusely and ordered Qian Dao to take He Xin and others all the way to the gate of the capital.

"Pay attention, thank you! Mr. Lu, he can finally relax a little bit." Qiandao bowed at the gate and thanked him.

Qiandao naturally knows how to take care of others, but he may also be kept in the dark.

"Let's go." He Xin said and led everyone away.

As they walked quickly out of the border of the Bird Country, as expected, everyone noticed that someone was following them along the way. Although they kept a relatively long distance, how could they escape Hen's perception?This also confirmed that there must be something fishy about this matter, and everything is not over yet.

Hexin and the others pretended that nothing happened and remained unmoved by the people following them. It was not until they walked for a day and a night that everyone stopped. Neji snorted coldly, "The friends behind you can show up now."

In the woods, Kakashi's figure suddenly appeared on a huge rock a hundred meters away. He hit the rock with a thunder attack, and a tall voice suddenly emerged from the rock. "Have you noticed it a long time ago?"

Everyone did not answer. They were faced with countless hidden weapons that were shot every day. The tall man stood still, and the hidden weapons fell aside as if they hit an iron wall. Neji stepped in and used soft fists, but his acupuncture points could not be touched. "Your task has been completed, why bother with your own business?" said the tall man.

"You are indeed sent by Meng Zong." Kakashi said coldly.

"Meng Zong?" The tall man smiled disdainfully, "Hey, what is he?"

Kakashi was startled when he heard this, the matter became more and more confusing, and he had to make a prompt decision at the moment. Taking advantage of the moment when Tenten and Neji entangled the tall man, Kakashi opened his Sharingan, and sprinted away with the lightning in his hand like a sharp blade.

Killed with one blow, the tall man's body fell like a rock.

"Kakashi-sensei, what did he mean just now? Isn't it Meng Zong's fault?" Tiantian's little head can't hold these messy things.

"This person has the ambition to die, and he may be misleading us by speaking nonsense." Neji analyzed.

"It will take us a day and a night to get back now. I hope he can find out the suspicion as soon as possible." Kakashi said worriedly.

It turned out that not long after he set off, he had left halfway and returned to the country of birds.

He took advantage of the dark night and quietly came to the prison where Hong Ming was being held. The prison was naturally strictly guarded, but he used his escape to casually dig a tunnel that led directly to Hong Ming's cell.

Hong Ming was wearing a white prison uniform and was covered in wounds, showing that he had been tortured to extract a confession.

When he saw a head protruding from the ground, he almost scared his heart out, "What the hell are you!"

Hexin made a shushing gesture, emerged from the ground, and then rigorously used Translucent Escape.

"Lord Hongming, I told you when we first met that I came here for the truth. I don't believe you are the murderer."

Hongming felt a little awkward speaking to the air, but when he heard someone believed in his innocence, he burst into tears.Although he was not so gullible as to trust the person in front of him, he had already confessed his crime and had nothing to lose.

"What do you want to know?"

"Why did your lord go to the temple that night?" Xin Xin asked.

After thinking about it for a while, Hongming sighed and said: "The first time we met, the ghost warrior really ran out from my mansion, and I recognized him as Master Lu in disguise. There are tunnels leading to the palace, and Master Lu pretended to be a ghost warrior to see me for a reason, so I secretly went there alone later."

Hexin nodded when he heard the words. Hongming stopped himself from checking the temple, fearing that he was covering for Lord Lu. After all, it was really inappropriate for the ghost warrior to have anything to do with the daimyo.

"I just didn't expect Master Lu and Meng Zong to jointly frame me, but now that I think about it, it's just me who is being sentimental!"

The fate of a powerful minister like Hong Ming is indeed what the young Lord wants to see. It cannot be ruled out that Master Lu and Meng Zong jointly played a role.

"When the eldest daimyo passed away, I heard that you are also qualified to inherit the daimyo's position?" Xin Xin asked.

"The sun and the moon serve as a warning! If I, Hongming, were ambitious, how could it be Lord Lu's turn to be the daimyo now! I don't want to see the old daimyo's country stolen by Meng Zong, so I have been so strong. Who would have thought that Lord Lu would listen to the slander! "Hong Ming said heartbrokenly.
