Chapter 22 Murder
Although the search was going on, Chen Yuan's mind was always on the arrest of Huang Xing, wondering why he stopped him from checking the Liu family's ancestral grave.
Is it because he is overthinking it, Huang Xing just thinks that doing so is of no use, or maybe Huang Xing has some plans that he doesn’t want him to know about...
Chen Yuan exuded his own thoughts and kept thinking. Such was his character that he had to think over and over again about every little thing.
Cautious, suspicious, shady...
We are all adults, who is still so simple-minded?
The city of Ping'an County is still noisy. Most people currently don't know that the Wu Sheng Cult demons are causing trouble in the city again, so there is not much panic.
On the other hand, the county government's police officers were all holding long knives and staring fiercely at the passers-by on the road. Once they noticed a stranger, they would come forward to question them.
As for those who encounter lameness, there is no need to say anything, just arrest them first.
Chen Yuan opened his Heavenly Eyes Technique and observed whether there was anyone who caught his eye.
It's a pity that Chen Yuan completely overthought it. How could a small Ping'an County town have so many lucky people?
However, Chen Yuan himself didn't have much hope, it was just a daily routine.
After the day's search, Chen Yuan returned home. Today, the county magistrate Wu Qingfeng and the county lieutenant Li Mingqi were very angry when they found out that the demons of Wu Sheng Cult were causing trouble again.
The head catcher Huang Xing was severely reprimanded.
And Huang Xing did not take all the blame. He turned around and began to reprimand all the government officials and white servants, which made people hate him!
The most important thing is that Chen Yuan himself doesn't understand why Huang Xing's attitude towards him suddenly dropped. He was clearly appreciative of him before.
But when Chen Yuan was being scolded today, he found that Huang Xing seemed to be a little disgusted with him.
Although it was not obvious, Chen Yuan, who had been paying attention to Huang Xing, still noticed it.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Yuan could only attribute the reason to what happened today, including judging that one of the dozen or so members of the Liu family who was killed was lame.
The county government arrested no fewer than ten lame people today, but after interrogation, no one had any problems. Several old government officials also had some rumors.
It was said that after Chen Yuan killed a demon from the Wu Sheng Cult, he no longer knew his surname, so he thought he was a divine hunter?
A young police officer who has only been on the job for just over a year dares to speak wildly.
After waiting at home until late at night, Chen Yuan left Ping'an County alone. He wanted to see if there was anything strange in the Liu family's ancestral tomb.
Why is head catcher Huang Xing so unhappy?
And when Chen Yuan left the city that day.
In the Huang family's study room.
Huang Shengnian, the head of the Huang family, and Huang Xing, the head catcher, were also talking about Chen Yuan.
Huang Xing looked gloomy and whispered:
"One of my yamen servants has noticed something."
"Yamen?" Huang Shengnian frowned.
On ordinary days, a small government official would not be able to catch his eye.
"He judged that the person who did it was a lame man. Fortunately, Lao Qi never showed up. Otherwise, my Huang family would have been in danger..." There was a murderous intent in Huang Xing's eyes.
"Just kill him if you can find a way to kill a small government official..." Hearing Huang Xing say this, Huang Shengnian's expression tightened. If people noticed that the Huang family had colluded with Wusheng Cult.
Then the Huang family is in danger, and no one can protect it.
"More than that, the yamen officer also wanted to investigate the Liu family's ancestral grave, but I stopped him at the time..." Huang Xing continued.
Huang Shengnian stood up instantly:
"Wouldn't your stopping him make him suspicious of us?"
"Brother, don't worry. Today I ordered people to restore the Liu family's ancestral grave to the original condition just for him to see. No matter what, the Huang family cannot have the slightest chance of being exposed."
"This yamen officer knows too much. Even if he doesn't associate it with my Huang family, he can't stay!" Huang Shengnian slapped the table in front of him with a sharp look.
The Huang family has been working for the Wusheng Cult for many years, and the reason why nothing happened is because of their caution.
It's like the Liu family wanted to move the grave. After the Huang family learned about it, they immediately sent people to kill the entire Liu family, just not wanting to be exposed.
Unexpectedly, a government officer was asked to judge some situations.
The only thing he regrets now is that he sent that guy Lao Qi to come forward and actually dared to use Wusheng Cult's secret technique to refine blood essence in the county town, which made the county captain and magistrate furious.
"Brother, don't worry. When this matter subsides, this kid will die!" Huang Xing said in a low voice.
Countless county government officials had died in his hands, and a small government official who was only in the skin-refining realm was not taken seriously by him at all.
"Let the people from the Sihai Gang take action. The Huang family can't do it. The higher-ups have already sent word that the experts from the Tianxian Division in Fucheng are ready to explore the entire territory."
"We must not expose the Huang family..."
Huang Shengchang let out a sigh of relief.
"good..."
...
...
Liu's ancestral grave.
Chen Yuan frowned and explored it, even dug out the coffin inside, opened it and looked at it, but found nothing unusual at all.
Chen Yuan thought, could it be that he was thinking too much?
Doesn't the Liu family's extermination have anything to do with moving the tomb?
It shouldn't be. You must know that murder cases are usually related to each other. The only major event for the Liu family recently is the relocation of the grave.
Could it be that a few Wu Sheng Cult monsters suddenly got interested and went on a killing spree in the county, wiping out the Liu family?
impossible,
There can be no such coincidence.
As soon as the Wu Sheng Sect's demon thing calmed down, they couldn't wait to come out to cause trouble. If they were so brainless, the Wu Sheng Sect wouldn't have caused such a headache to the court!
However, no matter how Chen Yuan probed, he did not find anything strange. However, Chen Yuan did not feel that his trip was in vain. He had some hunch in his heart that the Huang family was not that simple...
After a search, Chen Yuan restored the tomb to its original state and quietly returned to the county town. What he didn't know was that his visit to the Liu family's ancestral grave had been watched by someone.
After telling Huang Xing that Chen Yuan left the city late at night to go to the Liu family's ancestral grave, Huang Xing could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his eyes, and Chen Yuan went to investigate in person.
Coupled with the instructions of the family leader, Huang Xing has already had murderous intentions towards Chen Yuan, but it is not appropriate to take action now. It will take at least two days to calm down. Who knows if Chen Yuan has any backup plans?
His death so soon would definitely arouse suspicion.
Huang Xing thought about Chen Yuan and felt that he had underestimated him before, but he didn't expect that he was so thoughtful.
This child cannot be kept!
This is what Huang Xing is thinking at the moment. No matter how much he thinks about a small government servant, he can't stir up any trouble. As long as he is killed, everything can return to peace!
