Lin Yu knew that the shadow man now had no more power to resist, so he leaned down and took off the black veil wrapped around his face with his own hands.
That face was finally revealed in front of everyone without concealment.
Just as Lin Yu thought, this shadow man was indeed the master of Ning'an Mansion, Duan Zhongshi!
"Master Duan! Stay safe!" Lin Yu mocked coldly.
Duan Zhongshi's face was dark and he was panting frequently. He knew that it was difficult for him to explain now.
The rest of the people were still more or less surprised when they saw the face under the black veil.
Wan Qiuchi also stepped forward: "Old Duan, are you really treating me like a monkey?"
Duan Zhongshi stood up slowly, still trying to argue: "I just want to see your warehouse, why are you doing this?"
Seeing Duan Zhongshi like this, Fang Yukuo's eyes were full of disappointment, so he lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Wan Qiuchi continued: "Old Duan, you really have a good plan."
Wan Qiuchi stared at Duan Zhongshi viciously and sneered.
Duan Zhongshi continued: "Wan Qiuchi! You haven't given me an explanation yet! You did something like this again today. You want to get that jade tripod!"
"You are still so stubborn until now!" Chen Qingsong couldn't stand it anymore and shouted directly.
"That's right, the master of this palace is really shameless!" Su Wanci said with added jealousy.
"Palace Master Duan, today's game is just for you. You'd better return that thing to Palace Master as soon as possible." Bai Jingguang said.
Du Zifeng patted Fang Yukuo on the shoulder, comforting him not to be too disappointed.
Hailan also stood there, looking at everyone quietly, not daring to make a sound...
Duan Zhongshi smiled and said: "What do you mean? I don't understand!"
Wan Qiuchi gave Lin Yu a look, and Lin Yu understood instantly.
"Then let me tell Palace Master Duan the whole story," Lin Yu said.
"If the kid's guess is correct, the original purpose of Palace Master Duan's coming this time was Palace Master Wan's warehouse, right? Although I don't know how you know that there is such a place in this palace, I guess you are the only one who knows this. I know. Under the guise of a competition, Palace Master Duan used the Shocking Jade Cauldron to lure our Palace Master into taking the bait. In fact, at the very beginning, I felt very strange why these six competitions were held within six days. Isn’t this a waste of time? Time and effort? Later I figured it out, Palace Master Duan needs a lot of time to find the exact location of this warehouse!" Lin Yu analyzed it unhurriedly, and everyone listened in fascination.
"You mean he doesn't know the exact location of the warehouse?" Chen Qingsong asked.
"It should be like this. He just knew that there was a secret in this mansion, but he didn't know its specific location. Therefore, he took advantage of those spare times to secretly search for the specific location of the warehouse. In the afternoon alone, it was not enough, there were also late at night time. According to Hailan, since the first day of the competition, she has often heard noises at night. I guess that is the sound of Palace Master Duan's actions!"
Hailan didn't dare to look at Duan Zhongshi, still standing nearby with his hands folded.
When Su Wanci saw Hai Lan, he said warmly: "Don't be afraid! I don't think he would dare to do anything!"
Hai Lan was very pleased and said: "Yes!"
"So, the competition went on normally during the day, while in the afternoon and even at night, Palace Master Duan kept looking for the warehouse. The night before Miss Ye's competition, Palace Master Duan must have been to one of the restaurants where Miss Ye and I ate together. , Miss Ye didn't pay attention at the time and accidentally dropped her handkerchief, but you unexpectedly took it from behind. So you had an idea, why not use that thing to frame the fault? But at that time, you didn't I don’t know the specific location of the warehouse, so I have to keep it temporarily. Later, Miss Ye naturally couldn’t find it when she went to look for it.”
"What do you mean? Xiao Xuan'er was randomly selected?" Su Wanci shouted.
"Exactly! If it was your thing that he got at that time, then maybe you were the one who was wronged." Lin Yu said.
"But, is it too much of a coincidence? What if he doesn't get anyone's things?" Du Zifeng was a little confused.
"In that case, I guess Palace Master Duan will sneak into someone's room secretly, and with his strength, he can steal someone's things quietly. Wouldn't it be easy?" Lin Yu said with a smile.
Faced with Lin Yu's analysis, Duan Zhongshi inevitably felt guilty and remained silent.
"After getting the handkerchief, I think it was during Miss Ye's competition. After Palace Master Duan saw the Twelve Bright Moon Styles performed by Miss Ye, you were a little shocked when he saw the mark." Lin Yu stared at Duan Zhongshi and said.
"When Miss Ye competed with Song Yanxi that day, she left a crescent moon mark between her neck, and that mark was exactly the same as the mark made by Palace Master Duan's Bright Moon Palm move. I Are you right, Palace Master Duan?" Lin Yu said.
"You..., how did you know?" Duan Zhongshi's eyes widened, but he did not expect that his reaction was tantamount to confirming his behavior.
"Thanks to Brother Fang for this, he once told me that I saw you use that trick in the dark in your house!" Lin Yu smiled at Fang Yukuo.
"So, the mark on Fu Si Mian's neck was originally made by the master of this palace!" Chen Qingsong suddenly realized.
"Teacher Chen is right, but I think Palace Master Duan didn't have such a plan at that time. To be precise, Fu Simian's death was also an accident. If you guessed it right, after Miss Ye's competition that day, in the afternoon of Duan Palace The master finally found the location of the warehouse, so he prepared to take action at night. After arriving at the warehouse at night, what he didn't expect was that Fu Simian was following him all the way." Lin Yu continued to analyze.
"Palace Master Duan is so powerful, how did Fu Silmian not be discovered?" Bai Jingguang also raised a question.
"Ha..., if my prediction is correct! It was because he was so excited knowing the location of this warehouse that he forgot to take care of the tail behind him that day! This is also human nature, and it is indeed easy to be ignored."
"We once found out that Fu Simian is a greedy person. Seeing such a treasure in the warehouse, he must have evil intentions. He probably proposed the idea of dividing it up with the Duan Palace Master. If the Duan Palace Master refuses, it is possible. Blackmail him and make the matter public. Of course, these are just my conjectures."
Duan Zhongshi tried his best to use the Origin Qi, but Wan Qiuchi stood next to him and said: "Brother Duan, don't try too hard. If you are affected by my evil miasma, don't try to use the Origin Qi in a short time." Got it!"
Duan Zhongshi snorted viciously!
"In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, I thought that I could use the Bright Moon Palm to kill Fu Si Mian, and at the same time use the mark to blame him on Miss Ye. This is killing two birds with one stone for you. After you killed Fu Si Mian, After that, in order to further guide the crowd, he accidentally threw the veil in the dark, and used unknown methods to further spread the agarwood on the veil, and then stole two ancient scrolls and spirit gathering liquid from it. ." Lin Yu thought in his mind, why not take this opportunity to blame him for the matter of gathering the spiritual liquid.
Duan Zhongshi was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Yu's words.
"With this, the crime of stealing secret treasures and killing disciples was perfectly placed on Miss Ye. After that, Lord Wan discovered all kinds of evidence about Miss Ye. Under such conditions, even if Miss Ye You have a smart mouth, but you can't escape the connection! Moreover, you also specially called Song Yanxi in the inner palace, and used his disgust for Ye Yuxuan to further add to it, so that Lord Wan Palace had to put it in his hands. The clue is pointing to Miss Ye." Lin Yu became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.
"Later, Miss Ye was banned from the forbidden room by the palace master. You guessed that no matter what, Wan Palace Master would not be able to find out the real person behind it. In addition, you have verbally threatened the palace master many times. In this way, over time After a while, even if Miss Ye is not the real murderer, she will be identified as the murderer. Besides, the palace master likes the jade tripod so much and is so stimulated by your words, he will finally hand Miss Ye over to Palace Master Duan! When the time comes, You don’t have to worry, just do whatever you want.”
"But what you didn't expect is that the few of us never gave up the investigation. During the days when Palace Master Wan asked, we visited the city many times and found out some information more or less. And you were snooping in secret, Seeing that we are gradually discovering key information makes you feel uneasy, so you have a poisonous plan in your mind. Why not kill Ye Yuxuan in one fell swoop, so as to make her guilty and punish herself. In that case, everything will be It will end with the death of Miss Ye, and naturally you will not be traced. But it is too risky to do this openly, and the two personal guards are also powerful people, so you secretly He put drug into his food, then jumped into the forbidden room at night and put down the fire!" Lin Yu said so vividly that no one asked any more questions.
"After that, when you saw in the dark that the fire had reached an irreversible state, you left with peace of mind. But what you didn't know was that someone accidentally saw you when you left! "
As soon as this sentence came out, Duan Zhongshi was shocked again. It was indeed something he had not noticed.
"Thanks to Miss Lu, I saved Miss Ye when I saw the fire when passing by the mansion." Lin Yu's eyes were a little wandering.
"Lu Yibai?" Bai Jingguang couldn't help shouting.
Lin Yu nodded, "Then I guessed that Palace Master Duan would not give up if he didn't succeed, so I went to Palace Master Duan with Miss Ye and informed him of the matter, so that Miss Ye could get excellent protection for the time being."
"Later, after constant analysis and sorting out, I informed the Palace Master of the whole story. Because you were too cautious and did not leave any evidence behind, I and others set up a clever trap using the Supreme Secret Treasure as bait to lure You take the bait.”
Lin Yu remembered the conversation he had just finished with Fang Yukuo that day, and who came to him later.
"Brother Lin, did you discover something? What you said today is not quite right!" Fang Yukuo originally saw through what was wrong with Lin Yu.
"...Since you've noticed it, there's no harm in telling you! In fact, we already know who the murderer is, but we just don't have any evidence..."
"..., how can I help you!"
"Brother Fang, you just need to tell your other disciples what I just said. Remember to make it look like a secret language!"
"..., please invite me to join you when the time comes." Fang Yukuo was thoughtful, as if he had guessed something.
Later, Lin Yu took Fang Yukuo and everyone to the warehouse to wait.
"No matter how you take the bait now, you can't escape the blame." Lin Yu finally finished his analysis of the whole thing.
"Every step of the design is extremely delicate and interconnected! Old Duan, you are really amazing!" Wan Qiuchi snorted coldly.
"Lin Yu, you are so scary!" Su Wanci whispered, frightened by Lin Yu's extremely meticulous thoughts.
Lin Yu smiled bitterly...
