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

Chapter 367 The Chief Appears
Was it her father Zhuo Tianlang who killed Zhuo Qing?

Meng Ningjian's eyes showed an expression of disbelief.

Tiger poison doesn’t even eat seeds!
As Zhuo Qing's father, he brutally killed his daughter?

"You are talking nonsense! She is my daughter, why should I harm her!" Zhuo Tianlang's face was full of anger, and his growling voice did not seem to be fake.

Could it be that Cao An made a mistake? Meng Ningjian looked at him and hesitated to speak.

In his opinion, Zhuo Jining, who wanted to plead guilty, seemed more suspicious than the father of his beloved daughter.

Not only was he yelling to leave, there was something obviously wrong with his look and tone.

"When there is a problem, it appears that there is no problem. This is not a murder of passion, but a poisonous plan that has been prepared in advance. It can make you see the flaws on your face. Isn't that looking for death?"

The murderer's plan was successful. If it weren't for Cao An's [Please leave a last word] ability, which determined that Zhuo Qing would die first, this layout would really look like the scene of an immoral night party.

But since such a conspiracy can be designed, then the subsequent escape route, the answer to the confession, and the cover-up of the evidence will all be planned in advance, so how can the flaws be revealed in front of others?
What's more, if Zhuo Jining is really the murderer, he can simply disappear in the name of investigation and leave this place more calmly, without dragging his family with him.

Cao An's eyes were cold. The third difficulty that could not be found in this case was also the most outrageous one: the motive for the murder.

Cao An chuckled softly, with mockery in his eyes: "Since I believe you are the murderer, I naturally know where your confidence comes from."

At this moment, Zhuo Tianming was so confident that he didn't believe that Cao An could produce any evidence.

"Congratulations on the success of [Select One of Three Suspects]. Among the three named, there is a criminal."

But sometimes, no evidence is needed to close the case. As long as the other party's psychological defense is broken, the murderer will naturally confess.

"Is your contact person Elder Cang Yan? Or the Human Emperor?"

Such rhetoric put Meng Ningjian into a dilemma.

"I have locked up your soul. Even if the Human Emperor comes, I can't save you. I said so!"

It just so happened that Cao An knew just such a person.

Regardless of family ties or interests, there is no reason to kill Zhuo Qing.

"You're talking nonsense! That's my daughter, why should I kill her?" Zhuo Tianlang still retorted in this way.

Zhuo Jining felt guilty, so he looked hesitant when Cao An questioned him for not protecting his sister.

No matter where you go, there are always people who want to live forever.

Marrying into the Immortal Alliance is equivalent to having a super strong backer in the future, and the entire Dongzhou will go sideways.

This person even saw the Human Emperor appear with his own eyes and witnessed the power to reverse life and death, and then became a devout believer.

In three days, Zhuo Tianlang had already used the excuse of mourning to re-process the scene of the first crime.

"What a pity! Your third poison master thought so too, but in the end even the human emperor's soul was sealed by us.

But if you want to plot against Zhuo Qing quietly, only the closest father and son can do it. Neither the father nor the brother have any motive to kill Zhuo Qing.

It was Zhuo Tianlang, the biological father, who plotted to kill his daughter. Zhuo Jining was so speechless that he even wanted to take the blame on his father's behalf today.

To be the head of the Chongshui Sect, this person is really good at acting! He had already reasoned out the process, but this one still insisted on insisting on it.

That sentence made Zhuo Tianlang's expression change slightly, but he quickly calmed down and became solemn. He slammed the table and stood up to see off the guests.

No blood stains could be found in the room where Zhuo Qing was killed. Even if the crime was slightly revealed, as a close relative, it would be easy to excuse it.

What if the inference is wrong?
Wouldn’t that mean he really became a great villain? After intimidating the Zhuo family, he couldn't even explain to his dead lover!

Unfortunately, it was useless. Cao An had already authenticated it one step ahead just in case.

There are many talented people in the Immortal Alliance, and not everyone suspects that the crime was committed within the Zhuo family.

The orthodox underworld token aura made the few strands of reincarnation power in Zhuo Tianlang's body tremble slightly.

The reason for this hesitation was that the murderer he saw was none other than the father of the two brothers and sisters.

Cao An looked at the furious Zhuo Tianlang in front of him and felt a little admired in his heart.

"You will not enter reincarnation and live forever. You have taken refuge in [Ten Eyes], right?"
"If you want to seize the Immortal Alliance, it is naturally unprofitable to marry a girl.

"Sorry, this reason can make sense to you elsewhere, but it doesn't make sense to me. Because I happen to know a reason that allows you to kill your daughter."

Emperor Wan Jing of Daxing was like this, and so was Zhuo Tianlang in front of him.

Cao An took out the token of the underworld, and a breath from Jiuyou overflowed. Beside him, the ghost generals exhaled from the ghost book were looming, holding chain crying sticks.

Now, although Cao An's inference sounds reasonable, it is just speculation and has no evidence at all.

"No! No, you can't hold my soul, the Emperor will not let you go!" A horrified cry blurted out from Zhuo Tianlang's mouth, and even his son Zhuo Jining beside him closed his eyes in despair eyes.

"Let me introduce myself. Cao An, the judge of the underworld, was entrusted by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to exterminate the remnants of the [Ten Eyes].

His fiancée was a murderer in the Immortal League. He felt guilty towards the Zhuo family and always wanted to compensate the Zhuo family.

"I don't know what you are talking about! If the Immortal Alliance doesn't want to take responsibility, it can just put the blame on me!"

"You're not afraid of death, are you?
"I think that in the future when the Human Emperor rules the underworld, you will be the heroes and enjoy eternal life, so even if you kill your own daughter, you think it is for her own good.

If everyone really dares to arrest him for interrogation, the Immortal Alliance will definitely end up with the reputation of being beaten and killing other people's daughters without wanting to take responsibility.

[Choose one of three suspects] Open: Cao An, Ying Huorong, Zhuo Tianlang.

"In my opinion, Zhuo Jining was not the murderer. On the contrary, he saw the murderer in action, so he persuaded the murderer to leave."

Zhuo Tianlang knew that as long as he left his eight-character destiny to [Ten Eyes], his family would be able to come back to life after the Emperor took control of the underworld.

For this reason, when he needed to sacrifice his daughter's life, he did not hesitate. It was just a brief separation. In the future, his daughter would understand his difficulties.

But now, Cao An has destroyed his belief and directly rejected the soul, not giving [Ten Eyes] a chance to use his power to return Yang.

The original confidence that he was not afraid of death collapsed in an instant, and he started crying and begging for mercy.

"It's really you who killed Xiao Qing!" Meng Ningjian's murderous aura rose, and the sharp sword in his hand pointed directly at Zhuo Tianlang.

Zhuo Tianlang panicked and turned back to Cao An: "No, I didn't kill my daughter. She will be resurrected in the future. It's Cao An! It's him who is preventing [Ten Eyes] from achieving hegemony. If you kill him, Xiao Qing can Resurrected!"

What a ridiculous concept.

"Since you [Ten Eyes] are so powerful and can escape reincarnation and live forever, how could you be stopped by a little mortal like me?
"Your Human Emperor is so strong, then let him save you."

Cao An's words were like a dagger piercing Zhuo Tianlang's heart, and his pale face of fear could no longer be concealed.

With a bang, he knelt on the ground and kept mumbling.

"Why is this happening? Master Wise said you have nothing to fear. He has already arranged everything. Why is this happening!"

"Oh? The wise master is here too! That's just right. I've almost taken care of the other seats in [Ten Eyes]. It's just the right time to finish."

Cao An's tone made Zhuo Tianlang even more frightened.

He knew that the masters of [Ten Eyes] had been killed one after another recently, but he did not expect that Cao An was actually connected to the underworld.

"Our background is very tough. If I didn't have this connection with the underworld, do you really think I could rescue Taoist Chiyin?"

"What about the person who framed Chiyin? Do you know about it too?" Meng Ningjian asked with a strange look on his face.

"Of course I know. He is his junior brother. His name is Taoist Cangyan." "Why didn't you tell me if I knew it? Elder Chiyin blocks our door every day and scolds us."

"If I said it on the spot, would you believe it? Can I attract these clowns?"

"..."

Although Cao An's plan sounded very powerful, Meng Ningjian felt very aggrieved when the Immortal Alliance was brought into such chaos.

Of course, he felt even more fortunate now.

The deaths of Grandpa and Xiao Qing are indeed regrettable.

But fortunately, this trick of luring the snake out of its hole has uncovered Zhuo Tianlang, the culprit.

In addition, there is an even more terrifying list of traitors.

"Judge Cao, I will tell you the name of the traitor from the Immortal Alliance. Can you let me go? Please, Ningjian! For Xiao Qing's sake, spare me."

Zhuo Tianlang was afraid of death, so he took refuge in [Ten Eyes].

Similarly, after the failure of [Ten Eyes]'s plan, his courage also collapsed.

Cao An snorted coldly: "Whether I can spare your life depends on your value. First tell me the name of the traitor."

"Yes, yes, there is the Literary Manager of Sutra Pavilion, Deacon Lu of Shanxiu Hall, the eldest disciple of Beijian Hall, Elder Gao of Qiwu Pavilion..."

Cao An:......

Meng Ningjian:...

What does it mean to be riddled with holes? This is it.

"The best sect in the world? That's it?" Cao An looked at Meng Ningjian and felt that this man was quite unreliable.

"According to this list, your Immortal Alliance is about to be turned into a hornet's nest, right?"

"Well, there is some trouble, but with you here, it will be no problem!" Meng Ningjian wiped his sweat and looked at Cao An with admiration.

If it weren't for Cao An's plan to lure the snake out of the cave and catch a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death, so many spies would never have found the one who was born in the year of the monkey.

"Now that I have this list, I can roughly deduce who the [Sage] you mentioned is."

"Oh? Who?"

"The Supreme Elder I sent: the Supreme Celestial Master."

"Shangxian? There is also the word 'xian' in your name, and you don't hide it at all?"

"Well, the main reason is that the people on this list are all members of the lineage of the Supreme Celestial Master, including the Cangyan Taoist you mentioned, who has already joined his service."

The Immortal Alliance is the largest sect in East Continent, and the biggest reason is that this place is open to all rivers.

The gathering of many Taoist traditions has made the Immortal Alliance extremely prosperous, which also represents the division of camps among the Taoist traditions.

The people shown on the list at this moment are from the lineage of the Supreme Xian Celestial Master.

It is said that the master who lost to Meng Qingfeng in the competition for the head of the previous generation retreated behind the scenes and has not been seen for a long time.

Now it seems that he is evil-minded!
"It seems that he is right. Don't publish this list for the time being. You can show it to Head Meng first, and then I will collect some evidence and hit it with one blow."

"Ok!"

Meng Ningjian took the order, arranged for the Zhuo family to be temporarily placed under house arrest, and began to mobilize forces to prepare for the rebellion of the lineage of the Shangxian Celestial Master.

Cao An continued to investigate and tried to get more evidence, so as to encourage the Immortal Alliance to unanimously report to the outside world.

Of course, the more important thing is to verify the authenticity of this list of confessions.

Cao An glanced back at Zhuo Tianlang. At this moment, he still had some questions in his mind.

A high-end conspiracy cannot be ruled out, that is, Zhuo Tianlang threw himself into the trap, and then provided a false list in a begging tone to provoke infighting among the Immortal Alliance.

After all, in Cao An's opinion, this list is too complete.

[Ten Eyes] After planning for so long, you didn’t even take precautions? Let this deacon elder single-handedly sacrifice nearly thirty Immortal Alliance members?
Is it a little too simple? It’s completely inconsistent with [Ten Eyes]’s past plans!
But looking at Zhuo Tianlang's already somewhat confused aura, it didn't feel like he was acting.

Forget it, let’s prove it ourselves! Hope this list is useful!

……

After leaving the Meng family, everyone still looked as usual.

In order not to alarm others, Meng Ningjian suppressed his excitement and left.

On the other hand, Cao An is very laid-back. He has seen many such cases solved, and there are no fluctuations at all.

Just look at Ying Huorong. She and Wen Fufu, who didn't understand at all, formed a duo of noisy sisters. They teased Xiao Heihei and planned where to go for a picnic. They looked very happy.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed across the distance, and Cao An was startled.

"chief?"

"Chief? Where is the chief?" Ying Huorong reacted conditionedly and immediately entered a state of alert.

Now that she heard the word 'xi', she immediately entered a fighting state, and the sequelae of [Ten Eyes] were very obvious.

Although it was just a flash, with Cao An's current strength, it was still easy to see clearly the other party's appearance.

He was not tall and wore a Taoist robe. He seemed to be just a boy from the Immortal Alliance.

But Cao An had seen this person, the seven-year-old son of Gong Shilang in Huazhi's hut in Shangjiang City: Gong Ding.

It was this person who caused a chaos in Cao An at that time.

Obviously this person existed, but in the end, everyone including Zhu Xian and Hua Zhi was forgotten.

It wasn’t until Master Yu’s explanation later that I realized the special nature of the Tenth Generation Canghui Sutra.

Through continuous reincarnation and accumulating skills for the next life, this little boy is exactly the body designated by the Human Emperor.

So, if we could catch up and chop this naughty kid with a knife, would that solve the problem of the Human Emperor returning to Yang?
Or maybe capture this child and use it to force them to surrender to the emperor and risk their lives?
Cao An instantly formed several ways to bully children in his mind. Of course, the premise was to catch the person first.

"Then why don't you take action?" Ying Huorong asked strangely.

"It's probably a trap." Cao An replied calmly.

The hasty glance just now seemed to be a deliberate move in front of him, and now it was heading towards the back mountain, obviously to lure him there.

"A trap? What should I do?"

"What should I do? The Tsing Yi Department is working, just go up and do it!"

Cao An touched the saber on his waist: "The chief has appeared. So what if it's a trap. Kill him first."

This is the territory of the Immortal Alliance. Even if it encounters a strong enemy, it is expected that it will be able to hold on to the source of additional troops.

It’s rare to see that person, so don’t miss this opportunity.
