It's no wonder she's so suspicious. Their men had already investigated the black pool several times before, and aside from being a bit cold and deep, there was nothing wrong with it. Yet this Gold Medal Eleven came and immediately started suspecting her. After going into the water once, he came out claiming that the Seventh Master's body had been dumped there by a woman…
If you're going to lie, at least make it believable. These things can be found underwater, right?
Not to mention her, even Xiao Jianren was a little suspicious. Was the boss testing him? But he didn't seem to be lying.
Zuan said calmly, "Don't worry about how I got this information. I have my own methods. You'd better find a way to prove your innocence, and then investigate whether the Seventh Master has any dealings with any women."
He couldn't publicize the turtle spirit's story, so he could only say it like this.
"Eleventh Lord's statement is far too absurd. There is neither physical evidence nor witnesses. He just made a casual remark and expects us to investigate in this direction?" Zhang Zitong said with some dissatisfaction.
Zuan frowned slightly: "I'm not discussing this with you, this is an order!"
Zhang Zitong's expression changed slightly, but she could only helplessly lower her head and say, "Yes!"
But anyone could sense the resentment in her tone.
At this moment, Xiao Jianren said, "Miss Zhang, our master never lies. He must have his reasons for saying this."
Zuan nodded secretly. This old guy hadn't been completely blinded by beauty yet. If he were to speak up for this woman now, he would really be out of his mind.
A strange light flashed in Zhang Zitong's eyes, but she didn't say anything more.
"The woman who disposed of the body may not be the murderer, but I can't figure out what her purpose was in doing so." Zu'an frowned and pondered.
"What do you mean by that, sir?" Xiao Jianren asked curiously.
“If that woman really wanted to dispose of the body without being discovered, she could have tied stones to the Seventh Master and let him sink to the bottom of the water. That way, no one would find out for a while,” Zuan said in a deep voice. “Besides, if she really wanted to destroy the evidence, there are many ways. There’s no need to go through the trouble of throwing the body into the Blackwater Pool.”
This is a world of cultivation, where many people possess supernatural abilities. Unlike ordinary people in my previous life who had to deal with corpses in a complicated way, here there are too many ways to make a corpse vanish into nothingness, eliminating the need for multiple attempts.
The turtle spirit mentioned that the woman said something like, "It would have been better if we had been discovered sooner." Could it be that she did this on purpose so that the body of the seventh-ranked gold medalist would be discovered?
But if that were the case, his body could have been dumped in front of the government office or in a busy area, where it would have been easier to find. After all, Blackwater Pool is relatively remote.
Too many possibilities popped into my mind, but none of them had enough information to support my conclusions.
Xiao Jianren was full of admiration: "Sir, you are indeed very perceptive. Your analysis is indeed very thorough."
Zhang Zitong, standing to the side, opened her mouth wide. She didn't look down on Xiao Jianren's sycophancy, because she felt the same way.
This person realized something was unusual so quickly; he truly deserves to be called a gold medalist.
But I just don't know where he got this information from...
She naturally didn't believe that the other party had collected the information just after going into the water; instead, she guessed that the other party had obtained the information from other channels long ago and had just revealed it.
Zu An looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he told Xiao Jianren to investigate in the direction he had just mentioned, while also being careful of the woman with the high ponytail. He also asked Xiao Jianren to investigate whether any of the cases investigated by the Seventh Gold Medalist before his death involved any women.
Xiao Jianren sensed the parting in his words and asked curiously, "Isn't Lord Eleven coming back to the city with us?"
Zu An said, "I have other things to investigate, so I won't be with you."
Xiao Jianren nodded. This official was always a loner and his whereabouts were mysterious, but most of the gold medal embroiderers were like that, so he had no doubts.
After parting ways with the two, Zuan immediately summoned his Wind and Fire Wheels and rushed back. He had already wasted enough time, and he dared not waste a single moment now.
On the way, Zuan pondered that the case of the Seventh Gold Medalist was full of strangeness. In fact, if he asked Zhu Xie Chixin, he would probably know what had happened. After all, the Seventh Gold Medalist had mentioned to Zhu Xie Chixin about the investigation before his death.
However, Zhu Xie Chixin is also elusive these days, and hasn't returned to the capital for so long. Zhao Hao is also very secretive about his whereabouts, and no one knows what the two of them are doing.
...
When he returned to the military camp, it was just dawn, and many people had already begun to move around.
Fortunately, he had told Wang Bolin and Zhang Zijiang not to disturb him yesterday, so no one else woke him up.
However, he soon noticed a figure loitering near the tent, and his heart skipped a beat, thinking that there was someone with ill intentions.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other person's figure clearly: "What is Sister Daoyun doing?"
"Huh?" The beautiful figure was startled and turned around to see him. She looked extremely embarrassed. "Grand...Grand Brother, what are you doing outside?"
She drank the Feather Mountain Spirit Spring yesterday, and with a good night's sleep, her mental strength recovered a lot. The first thing she did after waking up today was to realize that she had behaved too out of line in front of Zu An yesterday. She wanted to come over and thank him, and also try to salvage her image.
But this seems a bit too deliberate, and coming to a man's bedroom so early in the morning might lead to misunderstandings.
Just as he was struggling with his decision, Zu An called out to him from behind, which naturally startled him. "I just went out for a walk," Zu An said with a smile.
