Fuck! Zhang Yuanqing cursed in his heart.

At this moment, within the sea of ​​consciousness, a halo of light emitting soft warmth was slowly jumping.

This halo comes from the lie detector in his hand.

The principle of the lie detector is actually very simple. First, it observes you through your mental fluctuations, micro-expressions, breathing, pores, and even adrenaline secretion to see whether you are lying.

Second, control you through a higher level of power, forcing you to be unable to lie.

The former represents the ability of the scout.

The latter's representative ability is the tiger talisman that Zhang Yuanqing had come into contact with before.

The lie detector in front of you belongs to the first type, but unlike insight, it enters the sea of ​​consciousness and observes spirits.

Therefore, this situation cannot be transferred to Xiao Dou Bi, only the second type of mental control ability can be transferred.

Essentially, the halo is not doing anything to you, it is just observing you.

Zhang Yuanqing now has to face a problem. He has to avoid the dean's questions, but his flaws will be discovered by the insight technique.

If you lie, the little brown horns will identify you.

The consequence is that all (@82 Chinese website fastest update~) harvests must be handed over to the White Flower Society and the headquarters in exchange for rewards and merits.

Just as his mind was racing with thoughts, a cold voice came: "I was with him last night, we can testify for each other."

The speaking Zhao Chenghuang.

This second generation of Taiyi Sect's spiritual master had an extremely cold expression and tone. As everyone looked at him, he snatched the small horn from Zhang Yuanqing's hand and said:

"I didn't kill Xia Chaoxue. Her death has nothing to do with me."

The students and teachers immediately looked towards the little brown horn.

It is dark and simple, without any change.

It was neither Yuanshi Tianzun nor Zhao Chenghuang... Everyone present looked at Yuan Ting and the Star Observer, their eyes filled with ambiguous vigilance.

Zhao Chenghuang still held the small brown horn and said:

"Dean, Yuanshi Tianzun has already proven his innocence, why are you still asking him whether he was in the dormitory all night? Do you have any new clues?

"The students present here are all frontline workers. When it comes to the ability to solve cases and investigate crimes, the teachers in the academy are not as good as us. If you have any clues, please don't hide them and tell us."

He stared at the dean with cold and calm eyes.

Well done!!!

Zhang Yuanqing praised loudly in his heart.

He thought to himself that he was worthy of being the most handsome boy in Taiyi Sect. Although he liked to act cool and handsome, he was always reliable at critical moments.

Zhao Chenghuang not only resolved his crisis, but also turned the tables.

If the dean is a man in armor, he will definitely not be able to give a reason. And if he keeps asking questions that he can't give a reason, there must be a problem.

The official saints are not fools.

The dean frowned and shook his head.

"I got the same information as everyone else,"

Zhao Chenghuang nodded expressionlessly and handed the small brown horn to Yuan Ting beside him.

The students' eyes suddenly became sharp and they stared at him intently.

"I didn't kill Xia Chaoxue. Her death has nothing to do with me." Yuan Ting said loudly.

The little brown horn still didn't respond.

Yuan Ting breathed a sigh of relief and started to talk out of habit: "I don't know Xia Chaoxue at all, and there is no gossip about her. Well, I'm not saying that I like gossip, it's just...

The little brown horn in his hand suddenly emitted a bright and pure light.

Everyone who had just been disappointed, looked over at once with sharp eyes, as if they had seen an unforgivable criminal.

The dean shouted:

"Yuan Ting, stand still, stand still and don't move."

As he spoke, he summoned a three-foot-long sword.

The students and teachers quickly retreated, ready to meet the enemy.

Yuan Ting held the small brown horn, feeling a little helpless.

The dean shouted, "Did you kill Xia Chaoxue? Answer me!"

"no!"

Everyone looked at Xiao Jiao, and the dean shouted again: "Are you familiar with Xia Chaoxue?"

“Not familiar!”

Everyone looked at the little brown horn again, but there was still no reaction.

Hmm? The reason why the little horn glowed just now is...

In the crowd, Zhang Yuanqing asked unhappily, "Do you like gossip?"

"dislike."

The little brown horn emitted a dazzling light.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Yuan Ting was a little embarrassed.

Everyone was embarrassed.

The dean didn't expect this result and was stunned for a long time. He changed the subject without changing his expression and said, "Next."

Zhang Yuanqing said:

"Dean, please don't ask irrelevant questions. Students, please don't say irrelevant things."

Yuan Ting let out a long breath and threw the polygraph prop to the star explorer not far away.

"I wasn't the one who killed Xia Chaoxue. Her death has nothing to do with me." The Star Explorer said calmly.

The little brown horn didn't react.

Seeing this, the crowd was in an uproar again.

The murderer is not a star official?

"If it's not a star official, then he used props to commit the crime." Lin Su, the cold and stern alchemy teacher, said:

"Everyone could be the murderer, including girls."

"How can a girl have sex with Xia Chaoxue?" a female student questioned.

Lin Su, who has a cool temperament, said:

"We didn't find any male body fluids in Xia Chaoxue, right?"

Everyone fell into deep thought.

If body fluids were found, my red dancing shoes would have directly locked onto the murderer, so there would be no need to go through so much trouble... Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

Next, everyone went through a polygraph test witnessed by the dean.

The same thing happened on the first day: the murderer could not be found.

Everyone passed polygraph and insight tests.

This means that the murderer has special hiding abilities and lie detection and insight tests are ineffective.

Such a result undoubtedly deepened the students' suspicion and panic, and there was a hint of vigilance and distrust in each other's eyes.

The old dean thought for a long time and said slowly:

"Everyone go to the library immediately and write down everything that happened from last night to this morning. From now on, work in pairs and eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom. You cannot leave three meters away from each other until the real culprit is found or the training period is over."

Today is the fourth day at Qinfeng College, and there are still three days until the end of the training.

"Wait!" Zhang Yuanqing's voice interrupted everyone's journey to the library.

He stared at the gray-haired old man and said, "Dean, you also need to take a polygraph test."

Without waiting for the old dean to respond, Zhang Yuanqing turned his head and looked at Guohezu and Ren Junzi, "You two are responsible for keeping an eye on the dean."

The pressure was immediately placed on the dean.

"Okay!" The dean nodded, raised the small brown horn in his hand, and said in a deep voice under the gaze of everyone:

"I didn't kill Xia Chaoxue. Her death has nothing to do with me."

The little brown horn was old and dull.

Ten thirty in the morning.

cafes.

Zhang Yuanqing picked up the coffee and took a sip, then looked out the window at the flower garden. The sun was shining, the flowers were gorgeous, colorful butterflies were dancing among the flowers, and the bees were working day after day.

He pressed the earphone in his ear and said, "From now on, any discussion must be done with earphones. Remember this."

Opposite him was the handsome Xiahou Aotian.

The table next to me on the left is Zhao Chenghuang and Sun Miaomiao, and the table next to me on the right is Tianxia Guihuo and Hongjige.

Six people, three groups.

Because of the dean's rule, they must work in groups of two. Zhang Yuanqing weighed the pros and cons and felt that if he had to have one more person, Brother Hongji would be the most reassuring.

"clear!"

Replies from the other four people came through the headphones.

"The situation is not optimistic. There is something fishy about Xia Chaoxue's death. I suspect the murderer was targeting us," said Zhang Yuanqing.

"The initial suspicion is that it was the dean." Zhao Chenghuang's voice sounded in the headset, "The question he asked Yuanshi Tianzun downstairs in the girls' dormitory has already exposed his identity."

"Are you trying to say that the dean is a man in armor?" Tianxia Guihuo hit the nail on the head.

Xia Chaoxue's death was untimely and unreasonable, and everyone felt it was unreasonable.

But after the dean asked that question, the underground palace team reacted.

They knew that the armored man was not Yuanshi Tianzun, and they also knew that the armored man was coveting the treasure behind the stone gate.

Zhao Chenghuang nodded silently.

"I don't think that's right."

The speaker was Xiahou Aotian, a Taoist priest with serious personality flaws. He stirred his coffee and came up with his own reasons. "First of all, how did the armored man know that the stone gate had been opened? He had been monitoring at the bottom of the lake? If so, then there was no need for him to kill Xia Chaoxue. He could just come directly at us.

"Secondly, it was unreasonable for the dean to kill Xia Chaoxue. He was appointed by the White Flower Society and when he found out that the stone door had been opened, he would have reported it directly to the headquarters.

"We are all respectable people with names and surnames. It won't be too easy for the headquarters to investigate us afterwards. Do we become wanted criminals because of this?"

Sun Miaomiao agreed with this. "The dean killed Xia Chaoxue and did all this just to find out who broke into the underground palace? This reason doesn't make sense."

Xia Chaoxue is an official saint and was arranged to be trained at Qinfeng College, which means that her branch intends to promote her to be a deacon.

Killing the deacon is not an option even if there is a good reason.

Zhao Chenghuang and Tianxia Guihuo frowned as the incident became more and more confusing.

"Yuanshi, what do you think?" Sun Miaomiao looked at him with her big, watery eyes.

Zhang Yuanqing chose his words, and his thoughts flashed: "At first, I also thought that the dean was the armored man, but Miaomiao's words dispelled my doubts. Her analysis was correct."

Sun Miaomiao chuckled, showing her two little fangs proudly.

In fact, Zhang Yuanqing had thought of this a long time ago.

The reason I said this was to take the opportunity to let Sun Miaomiao feel favored.

"I have seen the armored man. He (she) is most likely a student. That night I saw him clumsily searching the stone gate. It didn't look like he had stepped on it before. If the dean is the armored man, he has been in the academy for so many years, how could he not have stepped on it before?"

Zhang Yuanqing's voice rang in everyone's ears, "Before the operation last night, I said that the mermaids, the teachers of the academy, and the giant tiger on the island are all guardians of the hidden mission. How could the dean not know the location of the stone gate?"

Tianxia Guihuo took a sip of coffee, looked around the empty coffee shop, paused for a moment at the clerk working behind the counter, then looked away:

"There are three forces in the academy. One is the guardian of the hidden mission, one is the armored man, and the other is us. The armored man discovered that the stone door was opened, so he killed people and created trouble in order to find us.

"It's logically reasonable, but in this case (@82 Chinese website fastest update~), we have to face three doubts: First, why was Xia Chaoxue the one who died? Second, why did the dean ask this question? Third, which force does the armored man belong to? Fourth: How did the armored man know that the stone door was opened.

"The last question is the most important. If I don't find out the truth, I will feel uneasy and I will always feel like I am being monitored at all times."

One thing is certain, the armored man didn't know he had entered the stone gate, but this contradicts his murder this morning, because our guess is that the motive for the murder was to create trouble and find the person who entered the stone gate...

Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a few seconds, then stood up and said, "I'm going to the toilet."

He passed the coffee tables, entered the bathroom, locked the door, closed the toilet lid, sat down, closed his eyes, and visualized his father's face in his mind.

Soon, my brain was boiling, all kinds of meaningless noises were roaring in my ears, and broken and chaotic pictures flashed by one by one.

This time, the state of confusion lasted for a very long time, until blood oozed from Zhang Yuanqing's nose and he broke out in cold sweats due to the pain. Only then did the state stop.

The first thing that came to his mind was the scene of him leaving the dormitory for the first time and diving into the Mermaid Lake.

He went straight back four days.

The scenes flashed one by one, and soon he saw the armored man who appeared that night.

I saw myself hiding under a protruding rock.

The armored man swam around and searched under the White Beast Island just like he did that night, and he found the stone gate quickly because it was very conspicuous.

The armored man stopped in front of the stone gate and stared at the round hole with a black bird pattern carved on it.

Zhang Yuanqing still remembers this scene.

Next, he would be discovered by the mermaid... he thought.

The next second, a group of mermaids swam closer with their tails swinging.

It was at this moment that he saw the armored man stretch out his hand, gently touch the round hole, and take advantage of the momentum to turn around and look at the mermaid.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing saw through the flowing images that his palms were slightly closed, and there seemed to be something clamped in his palms.

The next scene is the armored man escaping from the mermaid's pursuit.

"hiss

Zhang Yuanqing held his forehead, enduring the excruciating pain as if his brain was splitting apart.

He sat on the toilet lid with his head down, blood dripping from his nose.

After a long time, the headache eased and he, sweating profusely, wiped the blood from his nose and leaned on the toilet like exhausted.

"So that's how it is. It should be a material that is invisible to the naked eye. He smeared it on the 'keyhole'. The armored man analyzed the traces of damage and concluded that the stone door had been opened..."

"He didn't know who it was, so he killed Xia Chaoxue?"

"He sneaked into the Mermaid Lake that night not just to scout the area, he was a cunning enemy... There is a problem, the armored man seemed to know someone who could open the stone door, this is impossible."

"He discovered it just as we came out, which means he dives to the bottom of the lake every night to check for traces."

Zhang Yuanqing took out a roll of toilet paper, wiped the blood off the ground, and flushed it down the drain.

He opened the cubicle door, washed his face, walked out of the bathroom, and returned to the coffee table.

"Why did you take so long?" Sun Miaomiao saw him coming back and complained, "Are you constipated?"
