I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 356 The considerate murderer

bang-

The sound of shattering arose in the minds of many monks around.

This was not the sound of smashing porcelain, but the sound of their hearts breaking.

The Lord of Miaoqing Valley was famous for his cold and arrogant temperament, and Dongzhou's admirers were accustomed to it.

But you are so cold to everyone, but you are so gentle to Cao An? This is hard for them to accept!

She has a graceful temperament, is cold and arrogant in front of others, and has a profound realm. As the only female leader among the five sects, it is not an exaggeration to call her "unparalleled in splendor".

Obtaining Miaoqing's favor is equivalent to acquiring the entire Ziyun Valley. How come such a beautiful thing with both wealth and wealth was taken over by a foreign kid from Cao An?

What was even more outrageous was that Cao An pretended to be innocent in front of his god-sister.

But he turned his head and raised his eyebrows provocatively towards the Jishihui camp, as if to say: We have my godmother protecting me, how dare you touch me?
Seeing this, everyone in the Jishi Association became angry. Although they didn't want to be enemies of Ziyun Valley, you were really bullying others!
"Master Miaoqing Valley, you are also the leader of a well-known and upright family. Are you going to condone your brother's misbehavior today?"

The elders of the Jishihui asked questions, which was exactly what they wanted.

After receiving Cao An's message, Miao Qing smiled slightly and looked back with disdain.

"What? What happened to your sect's [Tianpeng Forest]? Is it my brother's fault?"

"Cao An is suspected of committing a major crime, we just want to keep him for questioning!"

"Really? When did the clues appear?"

"About half an hour ago!"

"Where was the pavilion master of your sect half an hour ago?"

"Where is the Pavilion Master?"

A group of elders were arguing with Miao Qing, and the topic suddenly turned to their pavilion master.

Is this issue critical?
The elders looked back and found that their pavilion master also looked ugly at this moment.

It took a long time before I managed to choke out a sentence: "Half an hour ago, Judge Cao and I met in the study."

Jishihui:? ? ?

Regardless of his expression, tone, provocation, posture, motivation... Cao An is the most suitable candidate for the murderer.

Cao An had spilled the beans just a second ago, and he was full of suspicion and was about to detain him.

Why did their pavilion master jump out in the next second and become Cao An's time witness?

Which part went wrong?

"Don't think about it, it must be Cao An's alibi deliberately created." An elder reminded a little, and everyone suddenly realized.

Indeed, Cao An is a famous detective. If he is going to commit a crime, he will definitely find ways to excuse himself.

But Jishihui is not stupid either!

As an organization that specializes in making money, they are by no means ordinary people.

According to the investigation feedback, there were indeed five men in black running towards the [Cantpeng Forest] in the early hours of this morning.

Calculating the time, it coincides with Cao An's disappearance last night.

It must be Cao An who came to kill someone last night and rushed back to create a witness after he succeeded. No wonder he was wandering around the square this morning. I see!
"But how did he do it? He committed a crime early in the morning and the formation reaction was only triggered today?" an elder asked.

They discovered that something happened in the [Canopy Forest]. It was the ten-directional formation that caused the turmoil. Look at the turbid black air billowing in the sky. It was caused by the collapse of the protective formation in the mountain of corpses.

The time between these two does not match up!

Pavilion Master Peng narrowed his eyes: "Although I don't know who his accomplice is, this situation is not uncommon. He must have used secret techniques to suppress the formation, delaying the collapse of the formation."

Cao An's deliberate reminders, coupled with the analysis of a group of veteran liars, finally made the case close to ten.

The current situation is of course a small means to delay the collapse of the formation.

I have to say that the existence of the Pan family brothers and sisters is really a powerful nemesis of the Taoist formation.

The older brother broke the formation with one strike, and the younger sister even took away control of the formation, maintaining a steady state and not letting go. After Cao An left, he delayed detonating the formation and formed the current alibi.

Of course, these arrangements were left deliberately by Cao An, and they were all quite low-end techniques.

Even because he was worried that these idiots would not be able to find out the truth, Cao An deliberately provoked him, pretending that he had spilled the beans, and turned into the most considerate murderer in history.

Seeing that everything was on track, Cao An, as the murderer, finally felt relieved.

On the other hand, Pavilion Master Peng, who figured out Cao An's method of committing the crime, felt that the case had a great chance of winning, so he gritted his teeth and decided to turn his back.

He took a step forward and said loudly: "Master Miaoqing Valley, today a worshiper died in our [Canopy Forest]. This matter is not trivial. Your brother Cao An is the biggest suspect and must stay to cooperate with the investigation!"

"What! Really dead?"

"Isn't this [Canopy Forest] known as the safest place? What else is there for the Ten Directions Formation? Even the worshipers died unexpectedly?"

"From what they said, it was Judge Cao who did it?"

"..."

There were a lot of discussions around, which was undoubtedly a major blow to the reputation of Jishihui.

But Pavilion Master Peng couldn't help it.

Cao An had just told the story of the dead person in person, and it was already difficult to deny it and continue to conceal it.

If it were to be exposed later, the blow to their reputation would be even greater.

Besides, Cao An is very suspicious, and if he is allowed to go unpunished at this moment, wouldn't this [Tianpeng Forest] become a place where he can come and kill whenever he wants?

Unless this threat is addressed, Jishi will never have peace.

Although his reputation is now damaged, as long as he can find out the murderer Cao An, he will definitely be able to save his face.

The elders of Jishihui took a deep breath and prepared to follow their pavilion master to attack Cao An and Miaoqing.

As everyone knows, this is exactly what Cao An wants to see.

He walked forward calmly and slowly, and replied without fear: "Since Pavilion Master Peng said there was a murder, it is appropriate for me to cooperate with the investigation. However, I have a request."

"Request?" Pavilion Master Peng stroked his white beard. Is Cao An still thinking about presiding over the case? As a suspect, how could he let him...

"I ask all the monks present to participate in a public trial of this case."

Just asking for a public trial?

Well, when there is no trust in each other, a public trial is indeed the best way.

And in this way, Miao Qing of Ziyun Valley can no longer favor Cao An, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Pavilion Master Peng had no doubt that he was there, nodded, and asked someone to bring some evidence.

"I heard that Judge Cao wandered around for two days before entering our sect. I'm afraid he didn't come here to set up a crime scene last night, right?"

"Is it wrong to travel around the world? Then everyone present is suspected?"

"But in the early hours of this morning, an outer disciple saw five suspicious people heading towards [Tianpeng Mountain]. It just so happens that Judge Cao also stayed up all night, don't you want to give me an explanation?"

"Explanation? Why do you need to explain? You already said there are five suspects, and I am the only one. It must have nothing to do with me."

Cao An's answer sounded extremely simple, but he couldn't find too many faults.

Even though his behavior seemed so uncoordinated, it was just speculation with no real evidence.

"Hmph! Who said we don't have real evidence?"

Pavilion Master Peng decided to turn against him because he got the afterimage of [Streaming Light] given to him by his subordinate.

This thing records the entire process of the crime and is a solid piece of ironclad evidence.

Pavilion Master Peng looked at Cao An, hoping to see panic in his eyes.

But why does Cao An's smile become more and more happy?
