Chapter 156: Unexpected Development



Zhu Mingxu raised his head and glanced at the students below, seeing pairs of eyes filled with hostility and disgust.

The anger he suppressed for a long time finally erupted, "What is there to say? Headquarters will investigate whether I killed anyone or not. It has nothing to do with you. You guys who have retreated to the second line, what qualifications do you have to kidnap me...

Before he could finish his words, the fire demon slapped him to the ground and kicked him in the abdomen.

Zhu Mingxu curled up like a shrimp in pain and vomited bitter water.

The physique of musicians and scholars is the lowest among the spiritual realm practitioners. Although the Red Luan Star Officials at the Saint stage are stronger than ordinary people, they are only a few. Luo Lesheng shouted angrily: "Speak or not?"

Zhu Mingxu finished vomiting his bitterness and gasped for breath. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

He panted for a long time until the pain eased and he could breathe freely. Then he was picked up by Luo Lesheng again. The rude fire demon pointed at the students below and said, "Look at them and talk."

The star observer took the opportunity to stuff the polygraph test tool into Zhu Mingxu's hands.

Under the gazes, Zhu Mingxu gritted his teeth and said:

"Last night, I left the cafeteria and did go to look for Xia Chaoxue, but I didn't kill her. The polygraph can prove it for me. I don't have the ability to block the polygraph, otherwise... I wouldn't be standing here now."

The little brown horn didn't react.

"Why did you go to find Xia Chaoxue?" Xiahou Aotian asked.

As the squad leader, he felt that he had the obligation and responsibility to ask questions.

Zhu Mingxu hesitated for a long time, "Going to the girls' dormitory in the middle of the night, what else could it be..."

"So, you are Xia Chaoxue's lover? She had sex with you before she died... No, you were only gone for ten minutes, the time doesn't match." Xiahou Aotian nodded suddenly, then questioned.

"That night I had a few drinks and planned to look for her, but when I got to the girls' dormitory, I found she wasn't there, so I went back to the cafeteria," Zhu Mingxu said.

Later, after the dinner, I went back to the dormitory to rest. The next day I found out that she was dead, and the little brown horn was still unresponsive.

This does make sense. Xia Chaoxue was not there. Where did she go? Zhang Yuanqing asked:

"Why didn't you report this in the morning?"

Zhu Mingxu was silent.

Luo Lesheng raised his hand and slapped him, threateningly saying, "Do you need my help?"

... Zhu Mingxu instinctively shrank his head. He knew that in front of the violent fire demon, his identity and family background could not protect him. He stammered:

"I don't want to be involved in a murder case. This matter has nothing to do with me." The little brown horn glowed brightly.

"You dare to lie." Luo Lesheng slapped him.

Bang!

Zhu Mingxu staggered after being hit, his cheeks quickly became red and swollen, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

He then reluctantly confessed: "My story with Xia Chaoxue was not glorious enough, I used the love thread prop...

Love thread prop? It took Zhang Yuanqing more than ten seconds to understand the meaning. The Red Luan Star Officer has a skill called Love Thread. As the name suggests, the function of this skill is to tie a red thread for yourself and for others.

Tie a red string to your target, and he or she will fall madly in love with you.

——It is timely.

However, Love Thread is a skill that can only be learned at level 5, and Zhu Mingxu is at level 4, so it is said that props were used.

Shit, what's the difference between this and drugging? Zhang Yuanqing didn't come into contact with many musicians, and the only one who was a Red Luan star official or above was the Palace Master of Stop Killing. And the Palace Master had never used this skill on him before, so he didn't react just now. Zhu Rong and Father Xie, who had only met once, didn't count.

"nausea!"

Despicable, I'm going to castrate you."

The female students below were in an uproar and kept cursing.

The male students also looked disdainful and contemptuous, and Mrs. Sanyang Kai angrily joined in the insults.

At this time, Song Manmei on the podium said:

"Since you went to the girls' dormitory, why didn't the animals and plants find you?"

Zhu Mingzhao said:

"Love has a time limit. After Xia Chaoxue returned to normal, she reacted very strongly.

I promised to compensate her after I got out and let her enjoy the resources and wealth of the Zhu family. It took me a lot of effort to appease her.

"But she had a request that our relationship not be known to others, because she had a boyfriend outside, who was in the same branch as her. So every time I went to meet her, I would wear night travel props,"

Although the props of the Night Wandering God are rare, it is not difficult for the sons of the Spirit Realm family to exchange one from the family. Moreover, "Night Wandering" is an excellent escape skill, and Spirit Realm travelers with sufficient financial resources will try to get one.

Of course, the props' night-wandering ability cannot be compared with that of the genuine night-wandering god.

"Who else knows about your relationship?" asked the dean.

According to the autopsy, Xia Chaoxue was raped before her death. Yes, it is now certain that she was raped.

Obviously, the perpetrator knew the relationship between Zhu Mingxu and Xia Chaoxue, so he violated her deliberately to create the illusion that the crime was committed by an "acquaintance".

"No, I didn't tell anyone." Zhu Mingzhao shook his head vigorously, and the little brown horn didn't respond.

Dean Li Yanqi hesitated for a few seconds, "Did Xia Chaoxue behave in an unusual way yesterday?"

Zhu Mingxu shook his head: "No, after I found out she was killed this morning, I have been wondering who the murderer is. I originally thought it was Yuanshi Tianzun."

"Oh? Why do you think so?" Dean Li Yanqi narrowed his eyes.

"To be able to sneak into the girls' dormitory silently, he must have the ability of a night wandering god. Yuanshi Tianzun also has a nickname outside, called Rogue Tianzun. Isn't it normal for him to act like a hooligan?" Zhu Mingxu snorted coldly.

You are really prejudiced... Zhang Yuanqing wants to go on stage and touch people

The dean shook his head in disappointment.

He also thought that Zhu Mingbao could provide valuable clues.

After asking a few more questions and seeing that he had gained nothing, Li Yanqi said:

"I will report Zhu Mingxu's behavior against Xia Chaoxue to the headquarters truthfully. From now on, he will be under the care of Mr. Luo Lesheng. Tianxia Guihuo, who was three tables away from her, denied her statement, "It's not one out of twenty-two, it's one out of seven.

Before Sun Senmiao could react, he heard Yuanshi Tianzun's voice coming from the headset:

"Yes, the armored man is most likely a female student.

"Zhu Mingxu's confession gave us two clues. First, the girls' dormitory might not be the scene of the first crime. Second, the armored man knew the relationship between Zhu Mingbao and Xia Chaoxue.

"Zhu Mingxu did not reveal their relationship to anyone. This has been verified by a polygraph. So, is it possible that Xia Chaoxue revealed it?"

Sun Miaomiao nodded suddenly:

"Yuan Shi is right. Xia Chaoxue would not tell male students about this kind of thing. She is more likely to confide in female students. After killing Xia Chaoxue, the armored man deliberately "violated her" in order to make us focus our suspicion on male students. "Well, it is precisely because the murderer is a woman that Xia Chaoxue has no male body fluids." Hearing this, Zhao Chenghuang expressed his opinion: "In this case, the scope is narrowed down. Which female students is Xia Chaoxue close to?"

Sun Miaomiao tilted her head, recalled, and said: "Cicada and Little Moon Rabbit were very close to her." There were eight female students in total. Tianxia Guihuo said gloomily:

"Find an opportunity to invite them to the Beast Island, and use the Tiger King to test them. When facing a level 6 spirit beast, they will either die or use the Night Tour props to save their lives.

"Whoever has the night travel props and armor is a member of the Dark Night Rose."

Hey, brother, your thoughts are very dangerous... Zhang Yuanqing bared his teeth.

"What if we guess wrong? Wouldn't that kill them?" Sun Miaosen frowned cutely.

I rubbed the little dude's sparse hair.

The world is back to fire.

"If you have too high a moral bottom line, you will often suffer losses. Compared to the benefits we gain, killing two people is nothing. Of course, this is when there is no other way.

"We have other ways to force them to show their cards. It's very simple. Just give them enough danger. We can use Yuanshi Tianzun's red hat to capture them.

"Again

Put on my Wanrenju and enter the hat space to hunt the two people. Sun Miaomiao will do this. I suggest you act at night. "Sun Miaomiao's eyes lit up: "This method is feasible."

Lead them to the Island of Beasts, and the initiative lies with the Tiger King, who cannot control it.

As for the second plan, she has the initiative.

Seeing that no one objected to his proposal, Tianxia Guihuo continued:

"We must be prepared for possible mistakes in our reasoning, so we must investigate the doubts about the dean and not delay. While we are looking for the armored man, he is also looking for us. We know too little about this enemy.

Xiahou Aotian remained silent, sitting alone in the distance, his chin raised proudly.

Zhang Yuanqing understood and transmitted his thoughts:

"Awesome, Brother Aotian is worthy of being the protagonist. I, the supporting actors, can only sigh in admiration."

Xiahou Aotian then put away his proud chin and said: We can give the dean drugs to make him mentally damaged, and then use hypnotic props to hypnotize him, and everything will be fine. "

Tianxia Guihuo held it in for a long time before finally saying, "First you need medicine."

"Among the materials in the underground palace, there is a medicinal herb called Senluo Wanxiang Grass, which is a master-level material for the illusionist profession. I can refine it into hallucinogenic smoke, which is colorless and odorless. People who inhale the smoke will have hallucinations and become confused and easily controlled. As for auxiliary medicinal materials, Lingzhi Island has them. Lingzhi Island has thousands of medicinal materials."

The alchemist is best at refining elixirs and medicines. Xiahou Aotian is reliable and everyone was pleasantly surprised when they heard what he said.

Zhang Yuanqing said:

"That's a good idea. Hmm, is there any medicine that can kill all the plants and animals in the academy? Teacher Song Man's skills are so annoying. There are obviously no surveillance cameras in the academy, but there are surveillance cameras everywhere.

"Both sides have been elusive. After a long time, even a fool knows that everyone can travel at night and communicate with the stars. Killing these plants and animals can not only eliminate hidden dangers, but also spread smoke bombs."

Xiahou Aotian thought about it and said, "No problem."

After lunch, the Underground Palace team returned to the cafe and completed the prop transaction in the toilet. Zhang Yuanqing and Tianxia Guihuo handed over "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Ten Thousand People Slaughter" to Sun Miaomiao.

He himself obtained Zhao Chenghuang's hypnotic pocket watch.

Xiahou Aotian also received the night tour props given by Sun Miaomiao, and the Wind Warrior gloves from Zhang Yuanqing.

The combination of these two items allows him to fly directly to Lingzhi Island to collect herbs.

8:30pm.

The afternoon was calm and nothing happened.

In room 404, Brother Hongji, who had finished playing cards, followed Zhang Yuanqing back to his room to rest.

The lighting was soft, and a melon-seed beauty with an internet celebrity face stood by the table:

Sitting on the chair was a graceful and dignified woman with a charming and beautiful appearance.

They are like the top puppets.

"Your two corpses are so damn beautiful, Yuanshi Tianzun, do you have any fetishes?" Brother Hongji walked to the table, his eyes wandering between the delicate bodies of Blood Rose and Princess Yin Yao. They were both beauties, which was very strange.

He was somewhat suspicious of Yuanshi Tianzun's P. One beautiful corpse was understandable, but two corpses were both stunningly beautiful.

"Last time in the Yashan dungeon, you didn't have this corpse." Brother Hongji stared at Princess Yinyao for a moment and said with emotion:

He pretended to go to the toilet. After comforting the princess, Zhang Yuanqing went to bed. Time passed by minute by minute. At 10:30 at night, he closed the bathroom door, took out the Eight Thoughts Mirror, and looked at himself.

The next second, a stream of light was projected from the mirror, transforming into another Zhang Yuanqing

Zhang Yuanqing opened the bathroom door as usual, returned to the bedroom and got into bed.

The real Zhang Yuanqing has already used the Star Escape Technique to leave the boys' dormitory.

Outside the boys' dormitory, under a tree somewhere, a hazy and dreamy starlight rose.

Zhang Yuanqing looked around. The night was dark and silent. The full moon hung high in the sky. The cold glow of the wine was bitter.

The green plants and colorful flowers, bathed in the bright moonlight, seem a little listless.

In the evening, Xiahou Aotian made a poison called "Hundred Flowers Killer". A small handful of poison powder could make the whole

All the plants in the flowerbed died within six hours.

Animals that smell this colorless and odorless poison powder will not survive more than eight hours.

The underground palace team secretly searched all the places where plants grew in the academy.

Zhang Yuanqing took out a wax pill and a pocket watch from his inventory. The former was the hallucinogenic poisonous smoke, and the latter was the hypnosis prop given by Zhao Chenghuang.

He stuffed the two items into his pocket, then took out the perfect human skin and covered his face. The skin, as thin as a cicada's wing, melted quickly and attached to his body. In a moment, he turned into the cold and intellectual female teacher Lin Su.

His plan was to disguise himself as teacher Lin Su, visit the principal, then use smoke to attack, and then use Zhao Chenghuang's props to hypnotize him. The reason why he chose Lin Su was the result of Xiahou Aotian's divination.

The hexagram shows that among all the teachers, only the one who disguises himself as Lin Su and gets close to the dean will be the most auspicious.

"Dong Dong!"

The dean, who was sitting at his desk thinking about a murder case, heard a knock on the door.

He stood up from the table, opened the door, and saw the intellectual and cold Lin Su standing at the door.

"Teacher Lin Su?" The old dean asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Lin Su was clearly wearing a student uniform, but he felt it was extremely natural, as if that was how she should dress.

Dean, I have always felt uneasy." Zhang Yuanqing said something that he could not help but say.

Then, he saw Dean Li Yanqi sigh, hold his waist, and bring him into the house. What's going on? Zhang Yuanqing was worried.

Teacher Song Man was indeed sent to the academy because of her chaotic private life... Hey, old dean, I didn't expect you to be such a dean. What's the difference between you and those professors in Songhai University who sleep with female students and female teachers... Zhang Yuanqing complained crazily in his heart. The dean smiled with a masculine face in his vicissitudes:

"Life in the academy is boring. She and I just comfort each other. There's no need for you to be jealous. She hasn't come to see me these past few days. I guess she's hooking up with some student.

"It's getting late, let's take a rest."

You take a rest! Zhang Yuanqing silently crushed the wax pill. The colorless and odorless gas spread instantly.

Zhang Yuanqing held his breath the moment he crushed the wax ball.

As the gas spread, Lao Yuanzi's clear eyes suddenly became extremely confused. His eyeballs sometimes rolled up, sometimes fell down, and sometimes stared at a certain place.

He began to mumble nonsense.

Zhang Yuanqing took two steps back, broke free from the Dean's arms, tore off his perfect skin, took out his pocket watch from his pocket, and hung it in front of the Dean's eyes. The pocket watch swung like a pendulum: "Answer my question, answer my question."

It took him two full minutes to see the chaos in Dean Tong Kong disappear, replaced by emptiness.

This means that the hypnosis was successful.

Zhang Yuanqing got straight to the point: "In the morning, why did you ask Yuanshi Tianzun whether he had left the dormitory last night?"

The dean murmured, "I just want to find out where the students were last night."

"Why do we need to find out the whereabouts of the students? Haven't they been cleared of suspicion?"

The dean murmured, "I just want to find out where the students were last night."

Zhang Yuanqing's brows gradually furrowed. Was he just trying to find out the whereabouts of the students?

This reason did not convince him.

He had proven his innocence in every possible way. Whether he was in the dormitory or not had nothing to do with the case. Instead, it was the armored man who knew that the stone door had been opened who was most concerned about this issue.

The Dean's question at that critical moment aroused too much suspicion: but hypnosis will not lie, and the Dean's answer must be the truth from his heart.

Is it just a coincidence? Am I overthinking it?

"Who do you suspect is the murderer?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

There are no props, nor the armor that Yuanshi mentioned. "Sun Miaomiao's face was full of regret:

"In order to save them, I wasted half of my life source fluid. They are still unconscious. When they wake up, they will definitely report to the teacher that they were attacked, but she didn't see me. I was wearing armor."

"Remember to return Wanrenju to me later."

Tianxia Guihuo, who was across from him, said, "Yuanshi Tianzun, what about you?"

Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head to drink his porridge. "The dean's reply was: he just wanted to know the students' whereabouts last night."

"That's all?" Xiahou Aotian couldn't accept it. "What a coincidence you asked?"

"I don't believe it's a coincidence, but it seems to be like this." Zhang Yuanqing sighed.

He did not elaborate on what happened last night, nor did he reveal that Teacher Lin Su and the dean were lovers. He was not Yuan Ting.

Now that I think about it, life in college is boring. We are all adults, so we naturally have needs. It’s consensual, so there’s nothing to blame.

"In this case, the investigation will be stuck, and we will be in a passive position in the next two days," Zhao Chenghuang's cold voice sounded in the headset.

"Maybe our thinking is wrong." Xiahou Aotian murmured.

At this moment, the dean's stern and sad voice rang out from the cafeteria's loudspeaker, "Everyone, gather in the library immediately." Did you reveal any flaws last night?

"I definitely didn't reveal any flaws yesterday." Zhang Yuanqing looked confused. He quietly tensed his nerves, put down the tachyon, and walked out of the cafeteria and into the library with the equally confused students.

Students entering the library.

On the podium, the dean's eyes were slightly red, with hidden pain in them. His expression was stern and murderous. He stared coldly at everyone's faces and said word by word, "Teacher Lin Su was murdered last night."
