Chapter 108: Searching for the Murderer
"have!"
Under Master Chen's expectant gaze, Chen Xue nodded, "We have tillers and seed drills, everything..."
"However, no matter which one, it will cost hundreds of thousands of contribution points..."
"this……"
Lord Chen was speechless. They had been struggling for so long, but they had only collected more than 100,000 contribution points!
"Forget it, forget it, I might as well do it myself, it can be considered a form of exercise."
He actually thought there were some small props like smoke bombs, but who knew they were so expensive...
"Let's go, take me out to find Xu Tian and see what he wants."
"Just go out like this"
Chen's mother handed over a mirror.
Lord Chen saw that his face in the mirror was covered in mud, and his clothes were naturally covered in mud as well. Fortunately, they were old clothes.
He immediately went behind the screen to change his clothes. After changing, he said, "If we find any bamboo on the way, we can cut some and even plant some."
"This house still needs to be built."
After the house is built, they can also have a good rest in the space.
After following Chen Xue outside, Lord Chen found Xu Tian first, and Chen Xue followed him curiously.
Xu Tian told Master Chen what he had encountered without hesitation, and added, "Master Chen, I always feel weird."
Before Master Chen could speak, Chen Xue couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Even an idiot wouldn't understand what the problem is. It's obvious that the man's death was closely related to that person named Zhou Ping."
"But there is no evidence!" Xu Tian sighed. It was impossible to arrest someone just because he suspected him.
"That's easy..." Chen Xue shrugged. "Anyone can just find a reason, an excuse, say he's the murderer, arrest him, scare him, and he'll confess!"
Xu Tian smiled bitterly when he heard this. He simply could not do such a thing, so he came to ask Lord Chen for advice.
“Let’s do this!”
Mr. Chen quickly came up with an idea, "You spread the word, as long as someone knows the clues, you can get ten taels of silver."
"Is anyone willing?" Xu Tian was a little curious. He asked at that time, but no one said anything.
"You'll know if you try." Lord Chen shrugged. "There are other ways, but they're not good for you!"
"Okay, let's try it."
"Oh, right, send someone to keep an eye on them. Maybe they'll reveal their true identity and then find someone else to pretend to be a snitch on you!"
Before Xu Tian nodded, he heard Master Chen say, "Forget it, I'll send a guard to help you keep an eye on them. I'm afraid your people don't know how to hide themselves."
Xu Tian was speechless, as he could hear the disgust in Lord Chen's tone.
"Also..." Lord Chen's expression suddenly turned serious, "What should we do if we catch the murderer?"
"I……"
Although killing someone means paying with one's life is a matter of course, Xu Tian really can't do it. But if he doesn't do it, that person's death will be in vain.
Besides, who knows if he would kill a second person after killing one...
Seeing Xu Tian silent and not answering immediately, Lord Chen shook his head subconsciously, knowing that if he did not overcome this character, he would not go far.
But he didn't say much. Personality is something that is innate. It is difficult to change it, and it cannot be changed in a short time.
…………
Sure enough, that very night after the news was released.
The guard who was staring at Zhou Ping discovered that Zhou Ping was secretly gathering with a group of people.
Afterwards, no one knew what they said, but they quickly left and headed towards where Xu Tian was.
However, they did not get too close, but dispersed, always paying attention to Xu Tian's location.
At this time, someone approached Xu Tian stealthily. When Zhou Ping saw this scene, his face suddenly became very ugly.
"Captain Xu!"
When Zhou Ping saw that the man was about to talk to Xu Tian, he became even more anxious and rushed out to interrupt the man.
The man covered his face, and it was dark, so it was difficult to see clearly. When he saw Zhou Ping, he immediately turned around and ran away.
"What?"
Xu Tian frowned, seeming a little unhappy.
"Captain Xu, we've already buried him. I forgot to tell you."
"knew."
After Xu Tian finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked them to leave. Zhou Ping naturally did not stay any longer and left quickly, chasing in the direction the man left.
Fortunately, Zhou Ping had already arranged people to keep an eye on the area, and the man was followed as soon as he escaped.
And I don’t know whether it was accidental or intentional, but the man actually ran into the woods.
Zhou Ping was naturally very happy. Once he entered the woods, the man would be dead.
The people around had no idea what was happening in the woods, which was a perfect opportunity for them to take action.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but quicken his pace and entered the woods, where he saw a man surrounded by his companions.
"What do you want to do?"
The man still covered his face and his voice sounded a little strange, but he was curled up in a ball and seemed very scared.
Zhou Ping walked over and sneered, "Let me ask you what you want to do. I think I told you before, don't think we can catch you..."
"I don't know what you're talking about!" The man shook his head, as if he didn't understand.
"I don't understand!" Zhou Ping rushed forward and kicked the man to the ground. "I've already warned you, if you dare to tell on me, I'll be the first to kill you!"
The man curled up in a ball, but he was very tough. "I'm just telling the truth. If you didn't kill anyone, why are you so scared?"
"What did you say?" Zhou Ping grabbed the man's clothes and lifted him up from the ground. "What did you see?"
The man snorted coldly, "I saw you beat that man to death!"
"Shut up!"
Zhou Ping suddenly became angry and threw the man to the ground. His mind was full of panic. He never thought that someone actually saw what they did.
In that case...
"If that's the case, then he can't stay!"
The person next to him said anxiously, "If he sees what we did, once it's exposed, we're dead."
"What should we do then?"
"What else can I do?"
"Just kill him and silence him!"
Everyone was talking at once. It was obvious that after killing Yu Biao, they had become bolder. Now, faced with this situation, their first thought was to kill the person to silence him.
"You have already killed someone, so surrender quickly, otherwise..." The man lying on the ground suddenly began to persuade everyone.
Zhou Ping burst into laughter. "Turning yourself in is a joke. How could we possibly turn ourselves in?"
As he spoke, a murderous look flashed across his face. "Since you know our secret, we can't let you stay. Once you're down there, don't blame us. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not keeping your mouth shut."
"Did you really kill that person?" The man was not afraid, but continued to ask.
"That's right." Zhou Ping sneered, "You're already dead, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. Yu Biao was killed by us, and soon you'll be like him."
"Yeah?"
When the man lying on the ground heard this, he got up, calmly brushed off the dust on his body, and then took off the veil on his head.
When Zhou Ping and others saw this scene, they were startled and had an ominous premonition.
