Ascension starts from family cultivation

When Zhang Zhiyuan's words came out, not only Meng Haoran was shocked, but even Meng Bohai and Meng Xuanhai behind him were slightly taken aback.

The three of them understood the meaning of Zhang Zhiyuan's words.

Regardless of whether Guo Haidong's death had anything to do with Meng Haoran and the three of them, as long as the murderer was not found, Meng Haoran and the three of them would not be able to escape any connection!

And today, the three of Meng Haoran had an argument with Guo Haidong during the daytime, and even fought at one point!

In the eyes of those behind Zhang Zhiyuan, the three of them are very consistent in terms of the motive and the conditions for committing the crime!

The motive for committing the crime was that Guo Haidong first had a dispute with Meng Haoran and the other three during the daytime, and even fought for justice.

The condition for committing the crime was that Guo Haidong was not the opponent of Meng Haoran and the other three, and the latter took the risk and beheaded Guo Haidong in the third-class guest room on the lower floor of the "floating boat" in order to solve the subsequent troubles!

Swish!

Suddenly a person came out from behind Zhang Zhiyuan, and he held his head high and held his chest up, and said righteously: "My name is Baili Hongfei, and this floating boat belongs to the Baili family, a sixth-rank cultivator family in Qinghe County. , our Baili family has the first right to know about everything that happened on this floating boat, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, I ask you three to cooperate with our investigation as much as possible!"

Hearing this, Meng Haoran had nothing to say, after all, people had to bow their heads under the eaves.

Meng Bohai and Meng Xuanhai also walked out of the room slowly.

At this time, Baili Hongfei waved his hand, and immediately a person came out from behind, strode past Meng Haoran and the others, and walked into the room behind them.

After a while, the man walked out of the room without finding anything, and said in a low voice, "Brother Hongfei, nothing suspicious happened in the room!"

Baili Hongfei frowned and asked, "Have you checked carefully?"

The man nodded and replied: "I checked it up and down, and there is really no doubt."

Baili Hongfei looked at Meng Haoran and the others again, and asked again: "Did the three of you not leave this room all night?"

Meng Haoran replied: "Except before going to bed, after we had dinner in front, we stayed in this guest room all the time."

"Lie! You're lying!"

Baili Hongfei suddenly said sharply: "I understand all the process of the dispute between the three of you and Guo Haidong during the day today. Guo Haidong's cultivation level is not as good as the three of you, and before they left, they left a cruel sentence, They said they wanted the three of you to wait for him, but the three of you were worried that Ye Chang would have more dreams, so you sneaked into Guo Haidong's room at night and killed him secretly!"

"Nonsense! You are talking nonsense!"

Not to be outdone, Meng Haoran retorted: "Everyone has different living habits. When we go out, we will inevitably have some stumbling disputes. If we commit the serious crime of murder just because of such small disputes, Then, in the future, as long as there is a homicide in a place where the three of us are, don't investigate, just arrest the three of us and bring them to justice!"

"Boy, you are making too much sense!"

Baili Hongfei took a step forward, and behind him a looming "Taoist Foundation" was constantly releasing its coercion.

"Boy, you are not a few years older than me!"

Meng Haoran pointed to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, and said in a cold voice: "The laws of the Yu Dynasty are above, and the investigation methods are below. Your Baili family does not use both, and you are going to convict the three of us with just a few words. What are you doing?" Despise the Dayu Immortal Dynasty, is your Baili family really that capable?"

Baili Hongfei was speechless immediately, how could he have thought that this Meng Haoran could be so eloquent?

Originally, he wanted to use those words to blackmail Meng Haoran, to see if he could find any clues from the expressions of the three of them, but he never expected that this Meng Haoran would be so tough, and he would not give him any favors in front of his clansmen. Any face!

At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded.

"Hehe, I really amazed the old man, Hongfei, this is the first time you have been asked in such an embarrassing situation, isn't it?"

When Baili Hongfei heard this old voice, he quickly turned his head to look, and said, "Junior Hongfei has seen Elder Shouxi!"

Meng Haoran and the others also looked along the source of the sound, only to see an old man with gray beard and hair who had come to their side at some point.

I saw the old man cupped his hands with a smile, and said: "I am guarding the stream in Xiabaili, today I have a destiny, and I have met three fellow Taoists!"

Seeing that the old man was so polite, Meng Haoran and the others returned their salute slightly, saying, "I've seen Elder Shouxi."

"After tomorrow, we will arrive at the next site. If Guo Haidong's accidental death is not handled properly, we may not be able to leave after landing. Therefore, Hongfei is so impatient and used the wrong interrogation method. Please The three friends forgive me."

Baili Shouxi continued: "This old man is not only Hong Fei's elder, but also the helmsman of this floating boat. So, for safety's sake, I invite three fellow Taoists to this old man's room. Let's talk in detail, how about it?"

At this time, Meng Bohai came out, clasped his fists and said: "Since Elder Shouxi gave us three face like this, we can't make excuses anymore, we will follow what Elder Shouxi said."

Just when Meng Haoran and others were about to walk to the control room of the "floating boat" with Baili Shouxi's group, there was another rush of footsteps at the end of the corridor.

"Elder Shouxi, it's not good, something serious happened!"

Baili Shouxi looked calm and asked, "What's wrong?"

The man replied: "Another murder happened, it's at the end of the second-class guest room!"

At this time, Baili Shouxi could no longer maintain his composure. In just one night, two murders occurred in a row in their small "floating boat". If this matter is investigated clearly, it is very likely that not only this "floating boat" will not be able to move forward, but even the subsequent "floating boats" of their Baili family will be closed for rectification!

Baili Shouxi forcibly suppressed the surprise in his heart, and asked again: "Have you ever found any trace of the murderer?"

The man shook his head lightly, and replied: "I never found out, after we received the news, the four monks in the room all died on the spot."

Baili Shouxi nodded and asked, "Are there any other clues?"

The man continued to reply: "After interrogation, the four monks who died in the second-class guest room were seen, and they talked for a while behind the floating boat."

Hearing this, Baili Shouxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, nodded and said: "I see, you go first, and increase the patrol frequency on the floating boat!"

Then, Baili Shouxi turned his head to look at the three of Meng Haoran, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, fellow Taoists, another murder case occurred among the second-class customers, which means that Guo Haidong's death has nothing to do with the three of you. , I’m really sorry, it’s our Baili family that did something wrong this time, in order to express our apology, I will help you to waive all the expenses for taking our Baili family’s float next time!”

Meng Haoran and the others clasped their fists again and again to express their thanks when they heard the words.

Rumble!

At this moment, an earth-shattering spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly came from a very far away place!
