Chapter 1040 He is Hua Mingxi

Someone fell.

Just under the noses of Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan, the two people ran over and recognized the man at a glance. It was Qingqing, the old bustard of Mingyue Tower.

Pei Zhan pushed aside the crowd and walked over to check. Tao Zhen raised his head and looked upstairs.

The inn has three floors in total. Ke Qingqing fell from the third floor. Pei Zhan shook his head at her. Ke Qingqing was already dead.

There was chaos downstairs, crowds gathered, curious people gathered around to take a look, but Tao Zhen hurried upstairs.

There was a person standing in the stairwell on the third floor. His figure looked very familiar.

"Master Zeng!" Tao Zhen looked at Zeng Yan with squinted eyes: "Why are you here?"

Before Zeng Yan could say anything, the officials arrived.

Pei Zhan was familiar with several officials from Dali Temple. He briefly explained what happened, and the officials went upstairs.

"Master Zeng, why are you here?" The people from Dali Temple knew this Living King of Hell, and they felt a little regretful after asking. Why else are you here, drinking flower wine or investigating a case, or...

There was a hint of suspicion in the officer's eyes. Ke Qingqing fell from the third floor, and Zeng Yan was on the third floor. Maybe he was the murderer, but without substantial evidence, the officer did not dare to say anything.

Zeng Yan said: "Drink."

Tao Zhen spoke, looking at Zeng Yan with cold eyes and said, "I just went upstairs and saw Master Zeng alone here. Ke Qingqing fell from the third floor. Don't Master Zeng give me an explanation?"

She didn't care how powerful Zeng Yan was, she would never let go of Ji Xiang's murderer.

Mrs. Zeng glanced at everyone with an indifferent expression and said coldly: "I don't know, I didn't see anything."

Without evidence, no one could do anything to him. The people from Dali Temple only asked a few questions and released him.

When Zeng Yan was going downstairs, Tao Zhen stopped him: "Master Zeng is really just here for a drink?"

Zeng Yan glanced at her and went out without saying a word.

Pei Zhan came over and asked, "What did you find?"

Tao Zhen shook his head: "Not yet. I suspected he was Zeng Qing at first, but his legs and feet are fine." Tao Zhen asked again: "What did you find?"

Pei Zhan shook his head.

Tao Zhen said solemnly: "There must be something wrong with Mingyue Tower."

...

The officials investigated everyone present and found something suspicious.

A girl from Minglou said: "Someone came to see Sister Qingqing in the afternoon. Sister Qingqing looked very happy and dressed up specially. After that, Sister Qingqing went up to the third floor and told everyone not to go upstairs no matter what noise they heard. "

The girl's eyes were slightly red, she frowned and said, "That person must have killed Sister Qingqing."

Tao Zhen asked: "Which of you has seen that person?"

Everyone shook their heads.

The man avoided people and no one saw him. He and Ke Qingqing stayed on the third floor for a while, and then Ke Qingqing fell. She might have jumped by herself, but Tao Zhen felt that it was most likely the murderer who pushed her.

She suspected it was Zeng Yan. Maybe he knew something to kill people and silence them?
Mingyue Tower was closed, and Hua Mingxi didn't even have a shadow. Tao Zhen looked at the gloomy sky, feeling bad.

"Master's wife, we lost you." As soon as Zeng Yan left that day, Pei Zhan asked Yu Shu and Xiao Luo to keep an eye on him. Unfortunately, he disappeared not long after he went out.

"Did you go to Zeng's house to see it?" Tao Zhen asked.

Yu Shu nodded: "Zeng Yan went to Cuiping Mountain that day and came back very late."

Tao Zhen was stunned and suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?" Pei Zhan looked at her suspiciously.

Tao Zhen said: "Zeng Yan just returned to the city. The one we saw at Mingyue Tower was not Zeng Qing, so he is..."

Tao Zhen gritted his teeth: "Hua Mingxi!"
