34, dead

The visitor was a disciple of the Discipline Hall, and he showed his token as soon as he saw Sang Mo.

"A disciple died in Huaishu Ridge last night. Someone reported that you had an affair with the deceased and threatened to spread the undressed picture of the deceased throughout Changli Mountain."

It was the female disciple who drew the picture of Shen Yanqing taking off her clothes, named Gillian.

she died? !

Sang Mo was a little surprised, but nodded cooperatively.

"Please come to the Discipline Hall for questioning." The disciple of the Discipline Hall said.

Sang Mo looked back at the inner room and shouted to Shen Yanqing: "Master, I'll follow you and I'll be back soon."

Shen Yanqing did not reply for a long time. Just when everyone thought that Shen Yanqing would not answer and were about to leave, Shen Yanqing's cold voice suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

Everyone turned around and saw that Shen Yanqing was neatly dressed in a dark green elder's uniform. His black hair was neatly tied with a silver crown. He was also holding his natal magic weapon Yuehua Sword in his hand.He acts like he wants to support his apprentice.

The leading disciple of the Discipline Hall secretly sweated, and he whispered: "Qi Qi reports to Elder Jiangxiao, the Discipline Hall is just a routine question."

Shen Yanqing walked forward, "I'm just a regular observer."

The disciples had no choice but to bend down and bow, then silently lead the way.
.
As soon as he entered the Discipline Hall, Sang Mo saw the corpses placed on the ground.Covered with white cloth, the wound could not be seen.

Sang Mo walked over and knelt down respectfully in the hall, while Shen Yanqing sat next to the headmaster of the Discipline Hall.

After the two elders exchanged greetings, they all looked at Sang Mo down the hall.

"I heard that you had a quarrel with the deceased?" The headmaster was a bad old man with gray hair and beard. When he said this, a pair of slender, shining eyes looked at Sang Mo furtively.

Sang Mo replied: "Yes, but I have never hurt her. On the day of the incident, there were many witnesses present. If the master doesn't believe it, he can call for questioning."

"Where were you yesterday? Who were you with? When did you leave? Have you ever been to Huaishuling?"

Sang Mo replied: "Yesterday I prepared for the martial arts competition with Bai Mucheng of Xuanwu Peak. We parted ways at the same time, and then I returned to Qingya Peak."

Bai Mucheng had already received the news and had been waiting outside the Discipline Hall early in the morning. After hearing what Sang Mo said, she immediately shouted through the door: "Disciple can testify!"

Also with him was Chi Shuihuang, who followed Bai Mucheng and shouted, "I'm the one who sent Senior Sister back."

The headmaster's face turned cold when he saw this, "What does it look like! Why don't you come in quickly and answer the question."

The two of them walked forward and knelt down together with Sang Mo.

The headmaster looked at Chi Shuihuang, "Where did you separate?"

Chishuihuang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Over Huaishu Ridge, but I did watch Senior Sister walking towards Qingya Peak."

The headmaster said: "This does not prove that Su Jinyi did not return again."

With this attitude, he obviously wanted to put the blame on Sang Mo's head.

Except for the two newcomers Sang Mo and Chishuihuang, everyone else looked at the headmaster intriguingly.

Is this considered a public revenge?Who doesn't know that the headmaster hates Shen Yanqing the most in his life.

Every year he would lose to Shen Yanqing in the competition among the elders. Every time he would feel indignant, flinging his sleeves and going home to smash things.

This is no longer news in Changli Mountain.

Sang Mo said righteously: "I wonder if the precepts hall will do an autopsy? When did the person die and what were the injuries? Why are they not explained clearly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man wearing a coarse cloth jacket and an apron stepped forward and lifted off the white cloth from the body.

There was only one wound on the body, on the left chest.

"Preliminary judgment is that the time of death was at Haishi. The murder weapon used by the murderer was a sword, and the wound was one inch wide." Sang Mo did not speak, but just moved over to inspect the body.

The corpse was neatly dressed, with a peaceful expression, and except for the fatal wound, there were no traces of bruises or scratches.

She turned the body over and saw only the punctured hole in the upper left corner of the body's back, with only a faint trace of blood.

"Looking at the wound, which is larger in the front and smaller in the back, it was obviously stabbed from the front. Besides this fatal wound, there are no scratches or bruises on the body, indicating that she did not struggle or resist before she died."

"Senior Sister Gillian can practice in Changli Mountain, so it's impossible that she doesn't have the slightest ability to fight back."

"There are two possibilities. First, the murderer and the senior sister know each other and have a good relationship. Second, the murderer is very powerful and can defeat the enemy with one move."

Sang Mo said and looked at everyone, "Which one do you think I meet?"

Everyone looked at each other and felt that what Sang Mo said was reasonable, but no one dared to tell the truth, and they all silently turned their attention to the headmaster.

The headmaster snorted coldly, "That doesn't clear your suspicion."

Suddenly, the cup in Shen Yanqing's hand suddenly fell hard on the table with a "pop" sound, which shocked everyone.

"If the headmaster suspects that my apprentice killed someone, please provide evidence. What do you mean by holding someone here with empty words? You want to use the tricks of corrupt officials in the world and ask me to use money and magic weapons to redeem her. No?" Although Shen Yanqing's tone was cold and gentle, without harsh words, he still had the majesty that he should have. This frightened everyone so much that even the headmaster was stunned for a moment.

His face turned blue and purple frequently.

After about 2 minutes of touching, he saw that no one came to smooth things over, so he told Sang Mo to step back in a firm tone, and sent a disciple to monitor Sang Mo's every move.

Sang Mo stood up and thanked the headmaster, and Shen Yanqing also picked up the tea cup again.

The headmaster couldn't bear to lose face, so he had to glare at his disciple, blaming him for not stepping forward to smooth things over.

The disciple who was stared at lowered his head with an aggrieved look.

Although Shen Yan's eyes were light and airy as he swept through everyone just now, his threatening intention was obvious, which was to make the headmaster unable to step down.

Whoever steps forward to smooth things over is going against Shen Yanqing.

To be honest, even if he was given ten courages, he would not dare to step forward and make Shen Yanqing unhappy.

Although this man usually does not participate in matters in the mountains, it cannot be said that he has no real power.

Moreover, Shen Yanqing ranks first in the elder evaluation every year, and the head of the family does not have a son or a half, a direct disciple, or anything like that.Shen Yanqing is not sure who the next leader will be.

The headmaster didn't dare to break up with Shen Yanqing, let alone a little bastard with no family background.

The matter of judgment is settled.

Sang Mo was returned to Qingya Peak, and at the same time, he was accompanied by a female disciple from the Discipline Hall as a supervisor.

When returning to the peak, Shen Yanqing walked alone in front, with Sang Mo and the female disciple following behind.

"What's your senior sister's name?" Sang Mo chatted enthusiastically with the female disciple.

The female disciple nodded slightly and said, "Lin Yi."

Sang Mo said, "Senior Sister Lin Yi, what do you think Senior Sister Gillian did when she went to Huaishuling in the middle of the night? That place is so dark."

Lin Yi shook his head, "I don't know either, but I heard from the senior brother who investigated the room that the deceased got a book explaining the curse from somewhere a few days ago, but he can't find it now."

"Curse?" Sang Mo shouted in surprise, and then said: "She doesn't want to curse me, right?"

Lin Yi whispered: "Not necessarily, but the Discipline Hall is still looking for the book. Maybe there will be clues if we find the book."
