Thinking of this, Su Qiqi asked Yan Ruoyu to go to Qin Chuan's room, and the three of them discussed the many doubts surrounding Wang Yuanwu's death.
Late at night, most people in the inn had gone to sleep, and there were only a few dim lights, casting strange shadows in the courtyard.
Scar Li hummed a tune and wandered towards the room where he slept. When he walked to the door and was about to reach out and push it open, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
Scar Li was startled, and he had sobered up a little. He instinctively wanted to retreat, but he tripped and fell solidly to the ground in front of the door. He tried to open his eyes wide and struggled to get up. But before he moved a little, he was pinched by two young men who jumped out from the door, one on the left and the other on the right, and they were quickly pulled into the room.
There were no lights in the room and it was pitch black. Under the dim moonlight, Scar Li looked blankly at the two young men holding him hostage, and then at another young man standing by the window. Their faces were all covered with black scarves, and he couldn't tell what they looked like.
He looked at the three people in front of him nervously, his lips moved a few times, but not a single word came out. After a while, one of the young men shouted in a low voice: "Scar Li, tell me honestly how you and Shopkeeper Luo framed Luo Xiaoshi!"
Scar Li glanced at the masked man in front of him, grinned calmly, and sneered: "Who are you? I don't know anything about what you are talking about!"
Yan Ruoyu was furious when she saw Scar Li's attitude of not being afraid of boiling water. She sneered and shouted, "Are you going to tell me or not?"
Scar Li rolled his eyes at Yan Ruoyu contemptuously, snorted coldly, and looked away.
Yan Ruoyu's face turned red with anger, and suddenly she smiled slyly, took out something from her sleeve, held it between her fingers, walked up to Scar Li in a few steps, and shook the thing in front of Scar Li.
Scar Li's face suddenly turned pale, and he instinctively wanted to move his body, but was tightly held by Qin Chuan, unable to move, and could only glare at Yan Ruoyu and Qin Chuan angrily.
Seeing this, Su Qiqi took out a banknote from his waist, unfolded it, and placed it in front of Scar Li. When Scar Li saw the banknote, he felt guilty instantly. His eyes were erratic and he did not dare to look directly at Su Qiqi. He lowered his head and looked at his feet, trying to avoid the questioning of Su Qiqi and others.
Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, and Yan Ruoyu looked at each other, cleared their throats, and said, "Why did you secretly put the banknotes under Wang Yuanwu's pillow?"
Scar Li's body trembled when he heard this, and then he stuttered: "This...I...no...this is all what Shopkeeper Luo asked me to do, and it's none of my business..." After that, he said in a panic He was tugging at the corners of his clothes, as if trying to hide his inner fear.
Su Qiqi continued to ask: "How did you and Shopkeeper Luo meet? Where is he now?"
Scar Li frowned and thought for a while, then muttered: "I, I don't know where he went... We met in a gambling shop outside the city. He lent me dozens of taels of silver to help me out and asked me to help him. Put the banknote in Wang Yuanwu's room..."
"Oh, was he the one who asked you to kill Wang Yuanwu?" Su Qiqi looked directly into his eyes and said calmly.
Scar Li was taken aback and replied in a panic: "Yes, he ordered me to kill people. I, I can't help it..."
"Haha, how can Shopkeeper Luo force you?" Qin Chuan looked at Scar Li with amusement and said jokingly.
"I lost a little more money that day, so I went to shopkeeper Luo to borrow money. He asked me to do one more thing, and he would give me one hundred taels after it was completed... I was obsessed with money, so I agreed..." Scar Li's expression He looked around complicatedly and whispered.
"Tsk, tsk, you were used as a weapon and you didn't even know it! You were the one who framed the murder. As long as Shopkeeper Na Luo doesn't let go, you will be the one who loses his head..." Yan Ruoyu rolled her eyes. , half-smiling but not smiling.
Scar Li seemed to be still struggling. After a long while, he made up his mind and told Su Qiqi and others about the murder he had conspired with Shopkeeper Luo. He also told Shopkeeper Luo's criminal record - poisoning Luo to death. Things about Xiaoshi's parents also came out.
Su Qiqi and others took a breath of air after hearing this, thinking that there are such wolf-hearted people in this world who would even kill their own brothers and family. Such a vicious person must be brought to justice and justice be given to the innocent dead.
Thinking of this, Su Qiqi asked Qin Chuan to send Scar Li to the county government overnight, and then she, Yan Ruoyu, and Zheng Miao immediately packed up and set off to Qilian Mountain to hunt down Shopkeeper Luo.
While Su Qiqi and others were struggling to investigate the truth of the case, shopkeeper Luo was rushing towards Qilian Mountain non-stop. He walked day and night along the way, and finally came to a secret contact point of the Yeyou Alliance at the foot of Qilian Mountain.
Shopkeeper Luo handed the name card and credit to the steward at the contact point, then went out to find a tea stall, ordered a pot of tea and several plates of snacks, and drank alone.
As dusk approached, he slowly walked back to the contact point. As agreed with the manager in advance, he sat at the second table by the window in the hall and placed a handful of red dates on the table.
Not long after he sat down, a bearded man came over, grabbed a few red dates on the table, leaned close to his face and whispered: "Your Majesty is waiting for you in the practice room on the second floor!" After that, the bearded man Then he walked straight away,
Shopkeeper Luo didn't say anything, and silently went up to the second floor, found the practice room the bearded man mentioned, and knocked gently on the ajar door.
"Come in!" A deep male voice came from inside the house, making Shopkeeper Luo's eardrums hurt.
He was shocked. The people in the room were very skilled, so he still had to be careful. Thinking of this, he crossed the threshold with some anxiety and walked up to the man in black who was called the Venerable by the bearded man. Before he could speak, he felt a cold light flash past his cheek.
His heart tightened, and he pushed out a palm with all his strength, then turned over and jumped a few steps away. Then he gasped and stood up, looking at the Venerable with a sullen expression.
The Venerable didn't seem to be moved and just said coldly: "I'm offended!" Then he quickly struck out his palm again and hit Shopkeeper Luo on the chest.
Shopkeeper Luo was prepared this time and raised one hand in time to block the opponent's attack. Then he took out a medicine bottle with his other hand, quickly opened the bottle cap with his thumb, and threw it towards the Venerable.
A burst of green smoke rose into the sky and quickly filled the room. The Venerable didn't seem to expect that he would be like this. His vision was temporarily blurred by the smoke, he coughed a few times, and retreated to the window. Shopkeeper Luo took the opportunity to rush to the door, fluttered his palms, blew open the door, and ran away.
By the time the black-clothed guard guarding the door reacted, he had already escaped from the contact point's gate and was about to run towards the woods near the contact point. Suddenly, several black shadows flew over and blocked his way.
Shopkeeper Luo secretly complained, it seemed that the people from Yeyou League wanted to put him to death. With this in mind, he steeled himself, used all his strength, and used fierce moves to try to force back the man in black who was blocking his way.
However, the opponent seemed to be well prepared. He calmly set up his position and started fighting with him unhurriedly.
After a cup of tea, shopkeeper Luo gradually became exhausted. His heart became violent and he resorted to a deadly move.
Seeing him like this, the man in black felt a little scrupulous. He seemed to be afraid that he would push him to the edge and fight to the death with him.
Shopkeeper Luo saw that the opponent's offensive had relaxed a little, so he took the opportunity to throw a few hidden weapons to force the opponent back, and took advantage of the chaos to fly towards the dense forest ahead.
