Chapter 888 Investigation ([-])

The thoughts in Tangning's mind turned. Wang Suquan had already bought the pills for cultivation on May [-]th, so when he left the Langya Mountains for the last time on July [-]th, he told Zhang Xie that buying the pills was a lie up.

Moreover, there is no transaction record on the file that Wang Suquan came to Tingcheng at the end of July.

What did Wang Suquan do when he left the mountains on July [-]?
Why did he lie about buying the elixir?Obviously, there must be some dark secrets in it.

If this secret can be solved, the case of Wang Suquan's murder and death will be revealed.

It is now basically certain that the disappearance and murder of Wang Suquan was by no means an accident or a sudden incident.

This could be an elaborate murder.

Tangning couldn't help but think of Lu Fang's plan for her back then. If it was a murder, the murderer would most likely be a monk who was close to her.

When King Gein Su Quan left the Langya Mountains for the last time, he mentioned that Tingcheng bought pills, but Tingcheng did not have his transaction records. There is only one possibility. He made an appointment with the murderer to complete a secret matter together. , so he found an excuse to leave the Langya Mountain formation at that time.

This is enough to show that he and the murderer are acquainted.

According to the entry and exit information of Langya Mountain provided by Zhang Xie, Wang Suquan has been out five times this year.

They went out on the seventh day of January and returned on the eleventh.

I went out on February [-]th and returned on the [-]th.

I went out on March [-]th and returned on the [-]nd.

I went out on the ninth day of May and returned on May [-]nd.

And I went out on July [-] and haven't returned yet.

The first three trips were only for four or five days each time, and the two trips in January and March were with others, which should be normal entertainment.

But this trip on the ninth day of May was obviously a bit unusual, not to mention the long time transition, the thirteenth day of going out, the itinerary alone was very abnormal.

What is certain now is that he set off from Langya Mountain on May [-]th, arrived at Tingcheng on May [-]th, and bought ten bottles of Yuanyang Pill at Xianyuan Store.

With the escape speed of his middle-stage golden core cultivation base, it took less than two days to get from Langya Mountain to Tingcheng, and the timing coincided.

But after he purchased the elixir, where did he go for a full eleven days between the [-]th and the [-]nd?That's the key.

According to the normal itinerary, he should return to Langya Mountain after buying the pill, at most fourteen days before.

But he didn't return to Langya Mountain until the [-]nd day. During this period, some kind of accident must have occurred. Perhaps the cause of his disappearance and death was the eleven days he disappeared.

If he can figure out his specific itinerary for these eleven days, it should be of great help to crack the case and catch the murderer.Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he went to a certain attic or casino to play during this period.

Tangning roughly sorted out the timeline of the case and made a tentative idea.

When Wang Suquan went out on the ninth day of May, it was indeed to buy elixir for his practice, but he encountered an accident on the way back, maybe he met an acquaintance, and then set a trap for him to slip in.

For example, after discovering a secret treasure or something, the two agreed to gather somewhere at the end of July, and then killed him.After such an analysis, it is almost exactly the same as Lu Fang's plot to frame him.

Tang Ning didn't know if she was preconceived and brought the role into the plot between him and Lu Fang, or if it was just a coincidence.

At least for now, there is nothing wrong with this idea, and it is reasonable.

"Fellow Daoist Tang?" Seeing him dazed for a long time with the file in his hand, Jin Yuan couldn't help reminding him.

"Oh!" Tangning finally came to her senses, and handed the file back to the man in front of her, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jin, for your help."

"There's no need to say thank you for some small things. Since fellow daoist is here, if you're not in a hurry, just have a glass of wine in the humble house before leaving."

"Thank you, fellow daoist, for your kindness. Tang has a heavy responsibility in the headquarters, so he shouldn't stay for long. Next time I have a chance, I will definitely invite Brother Shi to accompany me. Please get drunk before you sleep," Tangning said, standing up.

"Since that's the case, I won't keep any more fellow Taoists. If you pass by this pavilion on the way down, please move on and let Jin do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord."

"Sure, take your leave." The two of them left the hall, and Tangning asked, "Which faction owns the Xianyuan shop in this pavilion?"

"The Xianyuan shop is the property of the Xianyuan sect of the Benting sect. Generally, we go to this shop to buy anything for cultivation."

"why?"

"Xianyuanzong has a business cooperation with the headquarters. It is relatively cheaper to buy items here. Xianyuanzong will give a moderate price, but it is only for the sect disciples stationed in this pavilion."

Tangning nodded and said nothing more.

"Uncle Tang, do you have any clues about Tingcheng's transaction records?" Zhang Xie asked proactively.

"The list of transaction records shows that Wang Suquan only bought ten bottles of Yuanyang Pill at the Xianyuan store in Tingcheng on May [-]th. Apart from that, there is no other transaction information." Tangning did not hide anything.

Zhang Xie wondered, "Oh? Then why did Junior Brother Wang lie about going to Tingcheng to buy the pill when he was out on July [-]th?"

"So now we have to go to the Xianyuan store to find out what's going on and see if there are any clues."

"Yes."

"Can you be sure that on July [-]th, when Wang Suquan went out, he said he was going to buy pills?"

"I'm sure, because on July [-]th, I just bought six bottles of Gubendan from Tingcheng, so I was very impressed."

"Then on May [-]th, what did he say when he went out?"

"This... the time span is too long, and the disciple can't remember it for a while." After a short walk, the two of them came to the Xianyuan shop. Inside the bright and spacious hall, there were many cabinets and pavilions.

"Senior, what can I do for you?" A woman came up to Jishou and saluted.

"Go and report to Fellow Daoist Chen, and say that Master Tang from our headquarters has an important visit." Zhang Xie said behind him.

"Yes, senior, please wait a moment." The woman responded and left. Soon, a middle-aged man with a thick back and a wolf waist came down from the attic. Seeing Tang Ning, he quickly walked up to him, and Jishou saluted, "Senior, come and see me." , If there is a loss, please forgive me, forgive me."

"Chen Daoyou, this is Uncle Tang Ning, who is directly under the Sixth Team of the headquarters. This time, he is here for an important matter. Uncle Tang, this is Daoist Chen Xuan, the owner of the store sent here by the Xianyuan Sect," Zhang Xie said. Introduced.

"I don't know what orders Senior Tang has?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Can we move on and talk?"

"Okay, please go to the cold room." Several people walked through the hall and came to a room in the back courtyard.

"Senior Tang, please take your seat." Chen Xuan gestured.

Tang Ning didn't refuse, and directly took the host seat, while Chen Xuan took the seat below, "Senior Tang is here, what is the matter?"

"Wang Suquan, a disciple of this department, and Chen Daoyou, do you know each other?"

"It's an old friend. The fellow Taoists of the noble sect stationed in this pavilion, the juniors all know each other. They often come to this shop to buy some things for cultivation."

"Wang Suquan, on May [-]th, did you buy the cultivation pill in your store?"

"This... this junior can't remember for a while, please wait a moment, senior, and this junior will check the transaction details file left behind."

Tangning nodded, "Then I will trouble you, Daoyou Chen."

Chen Xuan got up and went out. Not long after, he came back with a file in his hand: "Senior, this is the transaction file left by Daoyou Wang in our shop. Please check it."

Tang Ning took it and looked at it. It clearly recorded Wang Suquan's transaction information. It was the same as the bottom volume left by the chamber of commerce. He bought ten bottles of Yuanyang Pill and spent [-] million spirit stones. There was also Wang Suquan on this volume. signature.

"Apart from buying ten bottles of Yuanyang Pills this time, has Wang Suquan bought any other cultivation items from your store this year?"

"The younger generation has already checked. This year, Daoyou Wang has only visited the shop once."

"Who did Wang Suquan meet when he was buying pills in your store?"

"The junior really doesn't know."

"Did he meet you that time? What did he talk about?"

"This... It's been too long, the junior can't remember it for a while. The shop is full of people coming and going every day. I really can't remember clearly what happened a few months ago."

"Can you find the monk who was on duty that day and received Wang Suquan?"

"Senior, wait a moment, junior to check." After Chen Xuan said, he turned around and left, and about a quarter of an hour later, he led a woman in from the outside: "Senior Tang, she is the person who received Fellow Daoist Wang in our shop that day. "

"Junior Su Qing pays respects to senior." The woman saluted.

"Do you still remember who Wang Suquan met in your store that day? What did he say?"

"Senior, I'm sorry, but this junior really doesn't remember."

"How about this! If you think of something about Wang Suquan, please let us know." Seeing that they were all ignorant, Tangning had no choice but to say this.

"Okay." Chen Xuan replied: "Senior Tang, this junior has the courage to ask, what happened to Fellow Daoist Wang?"

"He was missing and killed, and his body was never seen. I was ordered by the headquarters to investigate the cause of his death. If you have any clues, please let us know. The headquarters will definitely reward you." Surprise flashed across Chen Xuan's eyes, and then he sighed. He breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that Wang Daoyou died so unexplainably. It's a pity. Don't worry, senior Tang. If we get any clues, we will definitely inform the noble family in time."

Tangning got up and walked out. The two left the shop and fled.

"Uncle Tang, where should we go now?"

"Go back to Langya Mountain."

"Langya Mountain?" Zhang Xie asked in surprise.

Tangning nodded, but said nothing.
