Facing Zhou Tianmin's angry abuse, Jiang Huaiyi just looked at him calmly, "Your father committed suicide out of fear of crime."
"I don't believe it!" Zhou Tianmin said angrily, "My father has been honest and upright all his life, and he is so soft-hearted that he would not trample an ant to death. How could he possibly harm others? You framed him!"
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact." Jiang Huaiyi said to him, "If you want to refute me, then provide evidence."
For a moment, Zhou Tianmin was speechless.
"I will find the evidence!" He said angrily to Jiang Huaiyi in front of him, "Just wait for me!"
After that, he turned around and left angrily.
After Zhou Tianmin left, Ye Zhizhi raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Huaiyi, who looked calm and almost indifferent in front of him. He hesitated and comforted him and said, "Elder brother, you don't need to take those false and slanderous words to heart."
Jiang Huaiyi looked up at her and suddenly said, "What if that's not slander?"
Ye Zhizhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a firm expression: "Then there must be a hidden secret in this, I believe senior brother!"
Her voice was resounding, "Eldest brother must have a reason for doing this!"
Jiang Huaiyi looked at her for a long time. After a long time, he lowered his eyes and said, "I'm not as good as you think. I'm not worthy of your trust."
"I believe in my own vision, and I will never see the wrong person!" Ye Zhizhi insisted on his opinion, "The senior brother is the best senior brother in the world."
After hearing this, Jiang Huaiyi said nothing for a long time.
On the other side, Zhou Tianmin left Tianwenzong angrily. After calming down, he looked at the vast green mountains around him, but he felt confused and lonely as he didn't know where to go. The world was huge but there was no place for him.
His father is dead, and he still died with such a crime. His home is gone, and he can't go back.
And he escaped from the Kunlun Sect this time, and he could never go back.
At this moment, Zhou Tianmin found that he had nowhere to go.
As a last resort, he could only wander around the town at the foot of Tianwen Sect Mountain, feeling at a loss.
*******
The next day, Qingfengguan.
Ye Zhizhi was giving rain to the flowers and plants in the courtyard. She made a spring breeze and turned into rain, and the rain fell from the sky.
"May I ask this junior sister, is Senior Brother Jiang here?" A voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Ye Zhizhi turned around and saw a dusty young man standing there, looking at her and asking.
"Who are you?" Ye Zhizhi looked at him and asked.
"Feng Yuan, I have something to ask Senior Brother Jiang," the young man said.
Ye Zhizhi immediately said: "It's Senior Brother Feng. Senior Brother is in the study. You come with me."
Feng Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. This unfamiliar junior sister called Senior Brother Jiang his senior brother. Could it be...
"Senior Brother Feng, you haven't returned to the sect for a long time, haven't you? My surname is Ye and my name is Zhizhi. Not long ago, senior brother accepted a disciple on behalf of his master and took me into Qingfeng Temple." Ye Zhizhi cleared up his doubts in a few words. Tianwen Sect disciple There are thousands of people, so naturally not everyone knows each other. It is common for monks to go out for experience and adventure for several years, more than ten years, or even decades or hundreds of years without returning. It is normal for the news to lag behind.
This senior brother named Feng Yuan, at first glance, seemed to have not returned to heaven for many years.
After hearing this, Feng Yuan immediately understood the situation and said to Ye Zhizhi: "It turns out to be Junior Sister Ye. Please lead the way."
"Follow me this way." Ye Zhizhi said.
The two went to the study to find Jiang Huaiyi.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Feng wants to see you for something!" Ye Zhizhi knocked on the door of the study room, then pushed the door open and entered.
Jiang Huaiyi in the room looked up and looked at Feng Yuan beside him, with a puzzled look on his face: "Junior Brother Feng, when did you come back, and what do you want from me?"
Feng Yuan didn't waste any time and said directly: "I just returned to the sect today, and I have something to ask Senior Brother Jiang to clarify. In the case of the disappearance of a woman born in the lunar calendar year in Chicheng, the culprits were really the Lord of Chicheng, Zhou Xiong, and his eldest disciple Wei Fu? Is it possible that other people involved in the case escaped?"
Hearing this, the expression on Jiang Huaiyi's face suddenly darkened. He stared at Feng Yuan in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Feng Yuan did not hide anything from him, and said directly: "In Yinchuan City, a similar case occurred. Women born in the lunar calendar year in the city continued to disappear inexplicably. My friends and I investigated the matter, but all my friends died, leaving only I’m the only one who survived.”
Speaking of this, the expression on Feng Yuan's face suddenly darkened, "I remembered that Senior Brother Jiang had investigated the same case in Chicheng, so I wanted to get some useful information from him. Are all the prisoners involved in the case in Chicheng dead?"
"..."
Jiang Huaiyi was silent when he heard this and said nothing.
After a long time, he said to Feng Yuan in front of him, "Tomorrow, I will go to Yinchuan City with you."
Hearing this, Feng Yuan was stunned, "Senior Brother Jiang, what do you mean..."
"I will get to the bottom of this matter. Those who committed these unforgivable crimes will be brought to justice and get the retribution they deserve!" Jiang Huaiyi said firmly.
After hearing this, Feng Yuan immediately realized that there was something wrong. He was keenly aware of Jiang Huaiyi's intense emotions at this moment. He looked at Jiang Huaiyi with a cold expression and firm eyes in front of him and said, "I understand. I will wait for Senior Brother Jiang in front of the mountain gate tomorrow. ."
After Feng Yuan left.
Ye Zhizhi asked Jiang Huaiyi, "Zhou Xiong is Zhou Tianmin's father, right?"
Jiang Huaiyi did not hide it from her, "Yes, many years ago I was ordered to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a woman in Chicheng. At that time, the lord of Chicheng was Zhou Xiong. Those missing women were all born in the lunar calendar of the lunar year. After investigation, I found these Women were kidnapped and used to practice evil arts, and the person who committed the crime was Zhou Xiong’s eldest disciple Wei Fu.”
At this point, he paused, and then continued expressionlessly: "I arrested Wei Fu and put him in the prison of the city lord's palace, hoping to interrogate him to find out who was behind the scenes, but... that night, Wei Fu died. Yes, the person who killed him was his master and the lord of Chi City, Zhou Xiong."
"After Zhou Xiong killed Wei Fu, he admitted that he did all this. He was the instigator behind the scenes. He killed Wei Fu to silence others."
Ye Zhizhi looked at Jiang Huaiyi and asked, "So you killed Zhou Xiong to do justice for heaven?"
"No."
Jiang Huaiyi said, "Zhou Xiong committed suicide. He committed suicide out of fear of crime."
This was the last case Jiang Huaiyi handled, and it was during the pursuit of this incident that his heart was broken.
This happened fifty years ago.
Fifty years later, in Yinchuan City, a remote town close to the yellow sand and desert, the same inexplicable disappearance of a woman born in the lunar calendar year happened in Chicheng.
Ye Zhizhi looked at Jiang Huaiyi in front of him and said, "I want to go."
Jiang Huaiyi raised his eyes and looked at her.
"Tomorrow, I will go to Yinchuan City with Senior Brother!" Ye Zhizhi looked at him firmly, his voice full of determination, "This time, Senior Brother will never get rid of me!"
