In the dark room of Haimang Mountain, Nether Sea Branch, a man pushed the door open and entered, saluted Xue Jing and handed him a stack of files in his hand.

Xue Jing looked through the files and asked, "How is it? Is there any new progress?"

The man said: "It has been confirmed that before Ma Shouyang disappeared, he was conducting a secret investigation about Qianjia Sect's supplies. He sent many people out to carry out this task. We initially suspected that he might have found the Qianjia Sect's hiding place.

The location of the supplies, and then fled with the Qianjia Sect supplies."

"In the past few days, we have integrated the clues at hand and basically determined that the direction known from the clues is in the Yueming Lake area. We went to Yueming Lake. There was a large array below, which only contained some scattered low-level pills, spiritual energy and spiritual practices.

The materials are not of high value.”

Xue Jing glanced at him: "When you arrived, was the formation intact?"

"no."

"That means that Ma Shouyang went to Yueming Lake, took away the valuable things inside, and then fled."

"Originally we thought so too."

"original?"

"After a large number of information forums, we visited and questioned many monks. Three monks said that when they passed Yueming Lake on August 16th, they saw a torn space left in the air. It was very long, about a hundred feet long.

"

Gu Yuanya led Gao Yuan and Chen Xiaofan in from the outside, her eyes a little dodgeful, she timidly raised her head and glanced at him, and called out softly: "Master, Senior Brother Chen and Junior Brother Gao have something to see you."

"Don't you think this is a bit unusual?"

"Disciple pays homage to Master." The two of them bowed and saluted and said in unison.

Xue Jingdao: "Not necessarily when arresting, but may be notified in advance. The supervision team came to Xuantang City to investigate the corruption case. It may have been discovered by a senior executive of the Yuanxian County branch in advance, so they sent someone to notify Ma Shouyang and waited for Ma Shouyang to pick up.

By the time the information arrived, Peng Yuanzhi had already been arrested, so he decisively killed Wei Ting who was related to him."

"I looked for connections everywhere, and finally Guan Pingchao came forward to settle the matter. The Luo family dropped the charges and he was acquitted."

"Second, who killed Ma Shouyang and why? As the head of the branch in this city, Ma Shouyang, no matter how much everyone respects him, could kill him just because they disagreed with each other."

"I would like to ask you, don't you know anything about what Yan Qing did?"

"You guys get along day and night, are you really not aware of it at all? Yan Qing actually hates me very much in his heart. He has always wanted to take revenge on me. He was incited to rebel and joined the Netherworld Sea Organization just to deal with me."

The man nodded and said: "This possibility is not impossible, but why would Ma Shouyang go out with the central formation disk?"

The man said: "There are three doubts. First, there seems to be no need for the Qianjia Sect to hide the supplies elsewhere. The Chamber of Commerce is neutral and easy to access, so why would they hide it in Yueming Lake instead of being close?"

"I dare to ask my uncle, how did Junior Brother Yan die?"

Xue Jingdao: "We are still in the inference stage, so we might as well be bold. Let's assume that Ma Shouyang is really the mastermind behind the Xuantang City corruption case. Then who could be the person who killed Ma Shouyang?"

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were really shocked. Even Chen Xiaofan, who had always been steady and scheming, was stunned.

…

"Yan Qing is dead." Tang Ning told them straightforwardly without beating around the bush. Yuan Ya's expression clearly could not be concealed from the two people who had known each other day and night. If she continued to be secretive, it would only arouse more doubts and uneasiness among them.

"I don't know, I just think things are a little weird."

"Thank you, Uncle Master." The two of them took their seats as instructed, while Gu Yuanya silently walked to Tang Ning, bowing her head and saying nothing.

"Killed by someone else."

"Signing up favor with rice and fighting against rice with hatred is nothing more than this."

Gao Yuan said in disbelief: "Junior Brother Yan had an affair with the Netherworld Sea Organization. Who said this? How is this possible?"

The man pondered: "If Ma Shouyang is really the person behind the corruption case in Xuantang City, he may indeed be killed and silenced, just like Wei Ting. According to this inference, there is another big fish behind Ma Shouyang?"

"Obviously, someone is fighting here, and it is very likely that Ma Shouyang has died. A huge space crack a hundred feet long is not a magical power that a monk at the level of a god can display. If Ma Shouyang meets this person, it will probably be very bad.

"

"Perhaps the materials stored by the Qianjia Sect are simply a trap, a well-designed scheme. The people behind the scenes want us to think that Ma Shouyang is afraid of trouble, so he steals the materials of the Qianjia Sect and escapes. So be it! Let's divide our forces.

Two routes, you can continue to investigate the corruption matter further. I will go back to Yuanxian County to report the matter and check whether any senior officials of the Yuanxian County branch have left the station during this period."

Xue Jing raised his head and glanced at him: "August 16th, isn't it the day Ma Shouyang disappeared? What do you think?"

Instead of going to great lengths to weave lies and conceal it, it is better to tell the truth. Yan Qing's death can be concealed for a while, but it cannot be concealed for a lifetime.

"Xu Yunsheng was tortured to death later, and Yan Qing put the blame on me."

The two looked at each other, and Gao Yuan said: "Uncle, Junior Brother Yan has been missing for two months. We were worried that something had happened, so we went to Senior Sister Gu to inquire about the news. It was Senior Sister Gu who said, let's go directly

Come to see you."

What's more, on the day Yan Qing disappeared, she clearly went out with Yuan Ya. This matter would be known after an investigation at the Guard Hall.

Looking at her appearance, Tang Ning roughly guessed that Yan Qing had been missing for more than two months.

"I dare to ask, uncle, why is this? What did Junior Brother Yan commit?" Chen Xiaofan came back to his senses, rolled his throat, and asked.

Xue Dingding nodded: "This matter is a bit strange. I always feel that something is not right. There may be some key points that we have missed. Do you think there is such a possibility that Ma Shouyang was invited to Yueming Lake by someone else, and then

Being killed and silenced?"

"But deep down in his heart, he was not grateful to me. Instead, he hated me for this matter. Because I did not rescue Xu Yunsheng from the clutches of the Luo family, and failed to allow them to stay and fly together freely."

After hearing this, Gao Yuan had no reaction and still had a look of shock and disbelief on his face, but something strange flashed in Chen Xiaofan's eyes.

He had a clear conscience about this matter and thought that he had done his best to be benevolent and there was no need to hide it.

"After the supervisory team secretly arrested Peng Zhiyuan, Wei Ting, who was related to Peng Zhiyuan, was immediately silenced. It was obvious that the person behind the scenes got the news. Why did Ma Shouyang get the news so quickly? There are two possibilities. First, the supervisory team did not ventilate him

The person who reported the information, secondly, the person who reported the information to him was a senior executive of the Yuanxian County branch."

"I wonder what Uncle Master is referring to?"

"Tell me! What are you doing here?"

"sit down!"

"good."

"Third, Ma Shouyang knows that we are here to investigate corruption matters. He dares to go out privately at this time and collect treasures secretly. He is too courageous. As far as I know, he is a relatively mature and cautious person. This is not true.

It’s in line with his usual style.”

"Later, he contacted the Netherworld Sea organization and continued to provide them with information about me. The purpose was to use the power of the Netherworld Sea to take revenge on me."

The man pondered: "There are no traces of fighting around Yueming Lake, and according to eyewitnesses, there is a torn space of 100 feet in the mid-air of Yueming Lake. From this, we can infer that the person who killed him should be a Void Refining monk."

He opened his eyes from trance, waved his hand, spiritual power shot out, and the stone door opened without any wind.

Chen Xiaofan and Gao Yuan must have found her to ask about the situation, but she couldn't hide it. She didn't know how to deal with it, so she had to bring them over.

"It doesn't matter who he is, he deserves to die. If others don't kill him, I will kill him with my own hands."

"Tell me."

"You mean, the whole thing is actually a trap for Ma Shouyang?"

"Who did it?"

The man said: "Two days after the supervision team secretly arrested Peng Yuanzhi, Wei Ting disappeared. At that time, the supervision team was still on its way to Yuanxian County, and the senior officials of the Yuanxian County branch did not know this information."

"How is this possible? Uncle Master, there must be some misunderstanding here." Gao Yuan said with shock and disbelief.

Tangning turned her head and glanced at Gu Yuanya next to her. Sensing his gaze, her head dropped even lower, almost shrinking into her neck.

Tang Ning kept staring at them, and he saw the subtle expressions of the two of them. He continued to talk to himself: "In 1214, you all must still remember the incident when Yan Qing was arrested by the Luo family. At that time, he

He injured two disciples of the Luo family, and the Luo family will hand him over to the alliance, and he will be sentenced to two hundred years in prison."

"Okay, let's talk about it today! Do you really know anything about Yan Qing's affair with the Netherworld Sea Organization?"

"Yes, we have deduced this too, but now everything is just speculation. Whether Ma Shouyang is alive or dead, we have to check his soul stone before making a conclusion. A file of Ma Shouyang's disappearance has been sent to Yuanxian County urgently. Should we wait?

Answer over there!”

"It's impossible. Even Taixuanzong has many insiders from the Netherworld Sea Organization, let alone him. But when I say that he deserves to die, I don't mean that he had an affair with the Netherworld Sea Organization, but that he wanted to harm Yuan Ya and me.

To death."

"What?" After hearing this, the two looked at each other again. Shock flashed across Chen Xiaofan's face, but Gao Yuan was very shocked.

In the Tianniu Mountains, in a majestic cave, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the room, practicing with her eyes closed, when there was a knock on the door outside.

"As we came to Xuantang City and continued to investigate the corruption case, the people behind Ma Shouyang were worried that he would be discovered and implicate themselves, so they devised a plan to kill Ma Shouyang and silence him."

"A little bit indeed."

"Hmm." Xue Jing muttered: "Ma Shouyang learned about the place where Qianjia Sect's treasure was hidden, so he quietly left Haimang Mountain, hoping to take away the treasure without anyone noticing before others discovered it, but...

But for some unknown reason, he got into a fight with others and ended up being killed. Everything seemed to go well."

"This time, a monk in the Nether Sea organization who had a personal enmity with me wanted to deal with me. They set up a trap. Yan Qing falsely passed on my news and deceived Yuan Ya out, causing Yuan Ya to be kidnapped."

"They originally wanted to threaten me with Yuan Ya, but fortunately I saw through their plan and solved Yuan Ya."

"The person who planned this plot was afraid that Yan Qing would fall into my hands and confess what he planned. He took witnesses to find him within the Nether Sea organization to settle the score, so he killed Yan Qing and died without any evidence."

It was impossible for Tang Ning to tell them about being forced to kill Ma Shouyang, so she just lied.
Chapter completed!
