Chapter 546 Criminal Suspect
Lu Zhong pushed aside the people in front of him and walked in from the patrol. When he saw the scene in the courtyard, he was shocked and his expression quickly became serious. He asked, "What are you doing?"
Fan Hao turned his head and glanced at him, a sinister smile flashing across his ferocious face. "Lu Zhong, you've come just in time. Come and help us catch them."
Lu Zhong looked at the expressionless Yun Qimu standing inside, then at the aggressive and malicious Fan Hao, frowned and asked in surprise, "What did Miss Yun and the others do wrong? Why are they being arrested?"
“Humph, they killed Lin Hong’s family.”
"What—" Lu Zhong's eyes widened and his face turned ugly, but he rationally retorted the next second, "Impossible, how could Miss Yun kill Lin Hong? There is no reason for this. They just arrived here and there is no grudge between the two sides."
Fan Hao scoffed, "How could it be impossible? What grudges do the Han Dynasty spies need? Lin Hong is a small captain of our Wu Wang Army. Killing him would weaken our Wu Wang Army's combat effectiveness. That's their motive for killing."
Lu Zhong frowned and shook his head again in rebuttal, "No, with Miss Yiyun and her men's strength, they can easily kill even an SSS-level psychic. Killing Lin Hong wouldn't weaken their strength at all. At most, they would lose a small captain. If Miss Yun was really a spy, she could have just killed King Li who lives next door. That would have been a real blow to our rebel army."
Fan Hao's smile froze. When he heard that this kid Lu Zhong had actually killed King Li, he immediately became so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot.
King Li was his goddess, so how could Lu Zhong just pull her out and use her as an example to kill her?
He immediately stiffened his neck and said angrily, "Humph, Lu Zhong, I think you were mesmerized by the beauty of this spy. You actually spoke for her. If this little girl is a spy, then the SSSS-level psychics sent by the Han Dynasty to hunt you down must have let her go. Her strength may also be fake. Only in this way can they enter the Witch King's army as saviors. Look, haven't they successfully entered now?"
Lu Zhongxin spitted in his heart, thinking which prodigal son would use an SSSS-level mutant as a acting tool? The key point is that one of the "tools" is dead.
The two sides are deadlocked and neither is willing to give in.
Yun Qimu figured out something. This Fan Hao should be on King Li's side. He came to arrest them without any evidence, just based on speculation.
But she was still satisfied with Lu Zhong's attitude.
In the end, it was Yun Qimu who took the initiative to go with them, but not to be imprisoned, but to meet the Witch King.
The surprise that the Witch King mentioned has not come yet, and now Yun Qimu doesn’t believe that this is the surprise that the Witch King mentioned. Something must have happened.
Instead of forcing yourself to confront others, you might as well go and see for yourself.
So with Lu Zhong as the guarantor, Yun Qimu and his companions were not treated as prisoners. They were surrounded by a group of patrol guards and walked towards the central square of the town.
Yun Xiaoyu lay sleepily on her father's shoulder. Seeing that nothing serious was happening, she buried her head in her father's broad shoulder and rubbed it. When she couldn't hold on any longer, she lay back down and continued to sleep.
Fan Hao, who was gritting his teeth in the back, was furious again. Even a little brat was so arrogant. These people were indeed not easy to deal with. He would definitely expose their true colors.
Although the town is heavily guarded during the day, it still has a somewhat leisurely atmosphere. But now the town is full of patrols and a solemn atmosphere.
The closer you get to the square, the more guards there are and the more solemn the atmosphere becomes.
"Brother Lu, why are you here?"
Xing Ran was standing among the onlookers in the square. When he heard footsteps coming from behind, he immediately turned his head and saw Yun Qimu and others being escorted over like the moon surrounded by stars. He shouted in surprise.
"Why is Miss Yun here too?"
Hearing this, several people around also looked over and immediately saw three handsome-looking people surrounded in the middle. Those who were familiar with Xing Ran's eyes lit up and asked him who these three people were.
Xing Ran grinned and said with a hint of joy, "He's the lifesaver I told you about before."
Fan Hao's gloomy tiger eyes immediately glared at him and sneered, "What savior? You haven't even checked the person's background and you're calling him a savior. Maybe he's a spy sent by the Han Dynasty. Have you forgotten the other rebel armies that were disintegrated due to spies?"
Suddenly, everyone around them fell silent, looking at Yun Qimu and the other two with more defensive and evasive eyes. Only Xing Ran was furious, his face flushed red, and he jumped up and down, saying, "Don't talk nonsense! How could Miss Yun and the others be spies for the Han Dynasty?"
Fan Hao snorted coldly, "Those rebels never imagined that their good brothers were spies."
Xing Ran's face suddenly turned ugly. He stiffened his neck and confronted Fan Hao firmly, saying, "Impossible! Those people are those people. Miss Yun and the others are definitely not spies. I, I guarantee it with my head."
Among the people in the porridge shop, even Lu Zhong did not trust Yun Qimu and the others as much as Xing Ran did. Anyway, he was stubborn and believed that Yun Qimu and the other two could not be spies of the Han Dynasty.
For a moment, the people around him were also moved by his firm attitude and started talking about it.
Some believed Xing Ran's words, while others stood on Fan Hao's side, thinking that it was better to believe it than not to believe it, and that it would be better to be cautious.
"What happened over there?"
Wu Yaxi, who was standing in front of several corpses with a serious expression, rubbed her temples, looked in the direction where the crowds of people were and the noise was a little louder, frowned, and asked with a bad expression.
"It seems that Fan Hao has caught the suspect." Wan Wen on the side also looked in that direction and reported.
Wu Yaxi frowned, "Oh, the suspect? Bring him over here."
"yes."
After a while, Wan Wen came over with a group of people in tow. Fan Hao cast a smug look at Yun Qimu, then excitedly and respectfully pointed to Wu Yaxi and said, "Wu King, I suspect they are the murderers of Lin Hong's family."
"Oh, where is the evidence?" Wu Yaxi looked at the three people with calm expressions, as if they were watching a monkey show, and glanced at Fan Hao again without any expression on her face to show emotion.
Fan Hao confidently gave a eloquent analysis, "We haven't made any mistakes since we settled in Laidao Town, but Lin Hong's family died right after they arrived. They must have been afraid their identities would be discovered if they waited too long, so they couldn't wait to act tonight. As for their previous rescue of Lu Zhong and the others, it must have been to recruit them into our army. Otherwise, how could a young girl who fell at the slightest gust of wind possibly defeat an SSSS-level psychic? It must have been a conspiracy by the Han Dynasty to deceive Lu Zhong and the others."
