1870: C1870 Caught

C1870 Caught

That afternoon, Liu Cen returned.

"The two of you, please consider carefully. Who can testify for you?" Liu Cen went straight to the point.

Xi Lin shook his head. After they returned to their room, they immediately entered into cultivation. It was impossible for anyone to have seen them before.

Hearing this, Liu Cen said, "I'm very sorry, but I can only take you two with me. The only surviving clansmen in the Upper Valley are the two of you."

"What?" Hua Xin was shocked.

Zhou Yi slowly opened his eyes, "Who is the one that survived the Upper Valley City?"

Liu Cen smiled. "You will know once you go with us."

Now that things had come to this, they had no other choice but to follow the other party.

However, on the road, Hua Xin still found it hard to believe that the people in the village had insisted that he was the one who had killed their people.

When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Nian Lin and his men attempted to intercept them.

"Don't go anywhere, just stay in the inn. We'll be fine." Zhou Yi said.

Nian Lin was stunned, and Hua Xin took the opportunity to say, "This is an order, step down."

When the others saw Zhou Yi and Hua Xin being taken away by Liu Cen, they started to discuss among themselves.

"It seems like the ones who killed them were them?" A person spoke up.

"They didn't kill anyone. This is all a false accusation." The people from the Windward Stronghold refuted.

"A false accusation? Why don't we believe it? Without concrete evidence, it's impossible for Liu Cen to come here to arrest us. " The other person spoke out as well.

"You all..." The clansmen of the Windward Stronghold could not hold back their anger, so they decided to make a move.

Zhou Yi stopped his steps, "Clear your mind, immediately go back to your room, don't worry about anything else."

Nian Bing did not dare to retort and could only lead his clansmen upstairs with a sullen face.

The people from the other tribes downstairs also sneered, "Those who are clear about it? I just heard from them that all the people in the upper valley stronghold haven't died yet. Only one is left.

"What?" "There's actually such a thing?"

"Yeah, I used to think that the people from the Wing Village could be considered not bad. Moreover, it's a large stronghold. How could they do such a thing?"

The people downstairs were talking nonstop, and the clansmen who had returned upstairs were also indignant.

"What right do they have to say that the chief and mister are the killers?" A young man kicked the bed angrily.

"Alright, please calm down. Since Mister wants us to wait here, then don't cause any more trouble for him." Nian Lin said.

His heart was also in a mess. If it wasn't for the words Zhou Yi said before he left, he would have already lost his mind.

When they heard Nian Bing speak, everyone immediately became quiet. However, they still felt stifled and could only use a beating to vent their anger.

On the other side …

Zhou Yi and Hua Xin had already been brought to a room by Liu Cen.

Other than a few strangers, there was another person sitting in the hall.

That person was none other than Xiong Er.

"Xiong Er, why is it you? Are you accusing me? " Hua Xin looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Only Zhou Yi couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw the opposite party.

No matter who did this, Xiong Er was definitely framing someone.

Maybe only Hua Xin himself didn't know the reason, but Zhou Yi knew it much better than Zhou Yi.

"Everyone, please sit down. Let's have a confrontation today and see if we can find out the truth." An old man who was over the age of ten said.

Hearing him say that, Xiong Er suddenly said with excitement, "Old mister Zuo Qiu, could it be that I'm seeing it with my own eyes? Why did you have to find them to fight? "

"No matter what you do, you can't believe your own words. This is something the Old Ancestor taught us. You said that he killed your clansmen, but he said that he didn't kill your clansmen at all."

"Who is telling the truth?"

"Our goal is to find out the truth, not to listen to your family and incriminate others."

Then, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Yi, "You two can sit down."

Zhou Yi had a good impression of Ye Zichen after hearing what Ye Zichen said.

So he pulled Hua Xin down and sat her down.

Although Xiong Er was indignant, in the end, he still sat down.

"You two, tell me first. Where did you go that night?" Seeing that the three of them had sat down, Zuo Qiu Shang spoke up.

Zhou Yi briefly told them what happened that night.

"You mean you smelled blood when you went upstairs, but you didn't know where it came from. Then you started cultivating in your room?" A middle-aged man spoke up.

Zhou Yi nodded, "That's right. I haven't heard any strange noises during this period of time."

"Why are you so sure?" The left-hand dealer asked.

Zhou Yi replied, "Because I train all year round, my hearing is better than others. If there was a sound, I would definitely be able to hear it."

The few people of the Zuo Qiu Merchant Group looked at each other, and it was the same person who spoke, "Like you said, if there was a murder, was it before you went back to your rooms?"

Zhou Yi didn't answer his question, instead, he asked, "I wonder if it's possible for me to go look at the corpse, and where it was found? Is it in the room? "

"Don't you know where the body is? Didn't you kill them one by one and then execute them all? " Xiong Er sneered and spoke up.

Zhou Yi shook his head, "I've said it before, I didn't do this, but I hope that you can trust me and I can help you find the real culprit."

The man thought for a moment, then said to Liu Cen, "Take them to see the corpses."

"Mr. Zuo Qiu, how could you do this? He's the murderer. " Xiong Er stood up anxiously and said.

The man shook his head. "Our goal is to find the murderer, not to wrongly accuse the good man."

"Do I not count what I have seen with my own eyes?" Xiong Er shouted.

The Zuo Qiu merchant slowly raised his head and stared at Xiong Er for a few seconds, "Then can Mr. Xiong tell me, how did you escape after Mr. Zhou killed so many of your clansmen?"

"What were you doing when he was killing?"

"I …"2

Xiong Er was scared stiff by Zuo Qiu's sharp words and stood rooted to the spot, unable to utter a single word.

Moments later, the man with the black beard lightly patted his shoulder, "Lad, as for why you lied, we will come back to investigate."

With that, he turned to the two men in black beside him and said, "Watch him carefully. When we come back, we'll have a chat with this Mr. Xiong."

The man in black hurriedly nodded.

Afterward, they left the room. Under Liu Cen's lead, they went to a cave not far from here.
