really!
After hearing this answer, the group of people present were not too surprised.
No matter from Ji Pingan's calm and calm response, the subsequent methodical handling, or as a bystander, looking at the whole thing.
This conflict has nothing to do with coincidence, but more like a premeditated arrangement.
Although a group of Sichen people may not want this to be the case.
"Planned?" Li Guofeng repeated the word.
"Yes," Ji Ping'an organized his words and said slowly:
"The matter started when we received the arrest mission from the government office. At that time, I realized that with our strength, if we wanted to catch the murderer first through divination and other methods, the chance of winning was extremely low.
"Mu Yaoyao and I are not very good at cultivation. Although Luo Huaizhu is with us, firstly she is not good at astrology, a spell that requires the use of the brain... Secondly, she is not Muyuan Sichen..."
Everyone nodded and agreed with this judgment.
However, they didn't know that Ji Ping'an's first paragraph was false.
Although his cultivation is not even a fraction of what he had in his previous life, his knowledge of astrology is enough to perform relatively accurate divination at a low level.
——The kind that involves one’s own safety.
Ji Ping'an said:
"So, I began to think about whether there was a shortcut. After looking through the files and learning that the murderer was suspected to be the demon clan's secret agent, I thought of Peng Yuan's assassination of me not long ago... If the demon clan had buried many secrets in the city of God, Spies, even if they don't know each other, there should be some connection. And this may be something that can be exploited."
Baichuan asked thoughtfully:
"So, do you think the other party will come for 'revenge' after learning that you are alone?"
Ji Pingan nodded:
"Almost, rather than saying 'revenge', it's better to say that you have strengthened your determination to eradicate me, especially when the time is so suitable.
"So, I'm thinking, instead of looking for the hidden murderer like a headless fly using unskilled astrology, it's better to put out enough bait to attract the other party. Even if it fails, the result will not be worse.
"So, I deliberately chose a suitable place and began to wait quietly. But I also thought that I had to let the other party know where I was and put myself out there, so I drew some paintings and gave them to the people in the teahouse. Guest. If the other party is interested, he will definitely notice it."
Painting... is it just to make some noise and attract attention...
Li Guofeng was stunned for a moment, his deep gray eyes lit up, and he solved the mystery in his heart.
I thought you were just bored to relieve your boredom... Mu Yaoyao's eyes widened, feeling like she was a fool.
Jianzhuang and Sichen praised inwardly, "Awesome", then smiled bitterly and thought that they had not expected it.
Ji Pingan continued:
"But the murderer didn't show up on the first day. After reviewing it, I think there are roughly four reasons:
"First, my guess was wrong, and the other party has no connection or interest in me; second, the other party has not noticed me yet; third, the other party is carefully observing; fourth, the Luohuaizhu next to me makes him jealous, and he cannot Dare to take action.
"So, the next day, I only went to drink tea with Mu Yaoyao. The reason why I didn't take her with me was because I wanted to go step by step. Don't appear too abrupt so that the other party would notice. During this process, some people in the prison were My criticism can also reduce the other party’s vigilance.”
this……
Are even the private criticisms and criticisms of the prison students included in your plan... Wang Xian and others fell silent.
Ji Pingan said:
"But the next day, the other party still didn't come out. So, I didn't even take Mu Yaoyao with me this time, and rushed to the teahouse alone. With the support of public opinion, this behavior was no longer abrupt, and everyone, including the murderer, would only think that we were The case has been abandoned.”
"etc."
Bai Chuan suddenly interrupted and asked: "Then how can you be sure that the other party will appear on the third day?"
Ji Ping'an shook his head and said:
"I admit that there is an element of gambling, but I think that if the other party is related to the Peng Yuan case, there must be channels to learn about the information in Qintian Prison. I understand that if we make no progress for three consecutive days, we will abandon this case. At that time, You will also miss the best opportunity to hunt me.
"The pursuit of other teams will also make them feel anxious and unable to conduct longer-term observations. Of course, until the moment before the incident, I could not be sure that the other party would come. Maybe all the plans were wishful thinking on my part."
After a brief pause, he smiled:
"Fortunately, it turned out that I was right in my bet."
That's it... After hearing this, the star officer present already understood the whole thing.
They couldn't help but look at each other in silence.
Fortunately, several of the wardens were involved in the Peng Yuan case, so they had some understanding of Ji Ping'an's planning abilities.
Although the other party's plan kept him and others in the dark, especially Li Guofeng...it felt like he was slapped in the face from a distance.
But if you think about it, he was already beaten during the first monthly exam.
Well... I'm used to it.
The ones who were really moved were the dozen Si Chens headed by Wang Xian.
If they were still a little unwilling before, they suspected that it was luck.
But after hearing all this, I can only sigh.
"We did not lose unjustly."
Jian Zhuang laughed to himself and felt ashamed when he remembered the scene where they competed with each other in front of the dining hall.
Wang Xian, who considers himself "No. 2 on the Heavenly Ranking", also expressed admiration for this great disciple of Mu Yuan: "Amazing."
Lin Qin's eyes softened and she became more and more curious about it.
Emperor Shi Hao was silent for a moment and sighed deeply: "Tuyuan is convinced."
Only Zhao Xinghuo slowed down for a moment and was still thinking, and then he suddenly realized:
"So that's how it is, I just figured it out."
Everyone:...
Stupid Fire Academy Star Officer!
"Not bad," Li Guofeng also gave a rare compliment, and then his eyes deepened:
"There is one last question left. How did you defeat the assassin?"
After these words were thrown out, the relaxed spirits of the group of people tightened again, remembering this key point.
Based on the destructive power at the scene, it is estimated that the demon assassin is no weaker than the original Baidi Boatman. Although he has not reached Pojiu, he should not be defeated by Ji Ping'an.
Li Guofeng said: "It is said that you controlled the vines to resist the opponent..."
beside.
The beautiful Jianhou Xu suddenly spoke:
"Ji Ping'an is born with the sign of wood, and he has mastered the technique very quickly. He was able to control plants and trees in the first lesson on the same day he was admitted to the hospital."
This is an endorsement...explaining his ability to control vines.
Wang Xian recalled it and added:
"When we rushed there, although we were not able to witness the whole process, we also saw that the vine shield was broken by the monster's punch, which shows that Ji Sichen's spiritual power is not as good as the opponent. If it is a normal battle, I am afraid that it will not last long, but the assassin Seeing us arriving, he became a little anxious, as if he had activated some kind of magic, and jumped directly in front of him."
Li Guofeng nodded and approved this explanation:
"In other words, you were supposed to be invincible and just trying to hold on. But the result was just the opposite."
Ji Ping'an met the gazes one after another, nodded gently, and admitted:
"I know what you are curious about. The answer is actually very simple. The reason why I was able to kill the other party was largely coincidental, and it relied more on a magic weapon. Well, this is why I dared to fish out the other party by using myself as a suspect. The confidence.”
Magic weapon?
Wang Xian and others looked as if this was indeed the case.
At that time, they caught a glimpse of something that looked like some kind of "weapon", but they couldn't see it clearly.
The others were interested and couldn't hide their curiosity.
In the field of practice, a powerful magic weapon can indeed greatly enhance combat power. This is why Hei Fengsha took the risk and intercepted Gou Hanyi.
However, magic weapons also have limitations, such as the scarcity of high quality and limitations on the user's cultivation.
Not long after Ji Ping'an first started practicing Buddhism, where did he get the magic weapon?
The biggest possibility still stems from Xu Xiurong.
Considering the safety of the eldest disciple, giving or lending magic weapons for self-defense... This is a reasonable explanation.
Someone immediately looked at him and saw that the female warden had the same curiosity on her face, just like them.
"Magical weapon?"
From the beginning to the end, Luo Huaizhu, who was sitting blankly, tilted his head and thought about the three breaths, and seemed to understand something.
The next second, Ji Pingan raised his right hand, took out an ancient ruler from his sleeve, and placed it on the table.
Its shape is simple, its body is dark green, and its handle is almost black. I don’t know what kind of wood it is made of, or it may have been rubbed for too many years, and the surface is covered with a layer of patina.
"Well, that's it." Ji Pingan smiled and said:
"I've looked through the manual of hundreds of weapons, and it seems to be the ruler used by the Imperial Master back then."
A gust of spring breeze passed through the hall, and everyone stared at the thick black stick.
The air suddenly became eerily quiet.
