Six hundred and sixty-five chapters Li Bingshen

Yan Xiaotian shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, call Li Bingshen over!"

Qian Shaorong shrank his neck and asked me timidly: "Then let's call him...whether of us three, will we return?"

I waved my hand: "You don't have to come back."

After hearing what I said, Qian Shaorong breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been amnesty, bowed to us, and then ran away with Ma Guang and Zou Chengwen.

The reason why he was so nervous was mainly because Mr. Zhang was also in the hall. Although Mr. Er did not show up, he did not deliberately put away the evil aura on his body.

I sat at the entrance of the hall and waited for nearly an hour before a thin young man came over from afar. The first impression this man gave me was terrifying. When he walked, he shrank his neck, his arms did not sway at all, and his eyes were always looking around timidly.

Among the three people just now, Ma Guang's figure was similar to his. He was also thin and thin, with short body and long limbs, but he didn't feel very good to me.

I felt at first sight...what to say, it was a bit gloomy under the thief's appearance, which made people feel uncomfortable all over.

He came to the door, his eyes passed by me, looked into the hall, and asked, "Zheng Sect, are you looking for me?"

Yan Xiaotian's somewhat impatient voice came from behind me: "You said, ask him what you have, but this child is a dull man, and he can't make a fuss."

Yan Xiaotian's impatientness was targeted at Li Bingshen.

I asked Li Bingchen: "Are you the first person to discover Senior Ye's body?"

"Ah?" Li Bingshen seemed to have not reacted and asked timidly. Then his eyes wandered away from Liang Houzai and me for a while. After a long time, he nodded: "Ah, yes."

His reaction also made me very impatient. I frowned and said to him: "Listen to Qian Shaorong, are you very brave?"

Lee Bingshen: “Yes.”

I asked: "Since I'm timid, why do you take the initiative to change shifts with Qian Shaorong and patrol the Treasure Pavilion for him?"

"Ah?" Li Bingshen was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he slowly said: "Oh, if you work in the Treasure Pavilion, you can serve late-night snacks at night."

I turned to look at Yan Xiaotian, and Yan Xiaotian closed his eyes: "It's true."

I thought about it and then asked Li Bingshen: "On the night when Senior Ye was killed, were you also patrolling the Treasure Pavilion?"

Li Bingshen responded for a long time: "Ah, um!"

Me: "What did you have in the midnight snack that night?"

Li Bingshen looked hard and thought hard. After a long time, he said: "There are canned beef, instant noodles, ham, mineral water, ah... there are pickles, I forgot what it tastes, it seems to be spicy."

Yan Xiaotian became more and more impatient and shouted behind me: "Zuo Youdao, don't waste time on him, this kid has a brain problem!"

I ignored Yan Xiaotian, leaned forward, staring at Li Bingshen's eyes. Li Bingshen's eyes were wandering, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

After a while, I leaned on the back of the chair and waved at Li Bingshen: "Forget it, you go."

Li Bingshen was stunned again, and after a minute he said "oh" and turned around and left.

It was not until he walked away that I got up and came to Yan Xiaotian, and whispered to him: "This guy has something wrong, please let someone stare at him."

Yan Xiaotian: "What can he have any problems? He is stupid all day long."

I said, "Don't forget that Master Zhang has not put away his evil spirit now. If he is really as timid as Qian Shaorong said, Master Er dares not open his mouth, but he is not only able to speak, but his mind is also very clear. He remembers everything about the midnight snack a few months ago."

When Yan Xiaotian heard my words, he seemed to wake up from a dream and stared at me with wide eyes: "Is it Li Bingshen?"

I understand what he means, he wants to say, is Li Bingshen the murderer? I shook my head at him: "It may not be him. You should have your own confidant in Baiwushan."

Yan Xiaotian nodded.

I said, "Let your confidant keep an eye on that Li Bingshen. Even if he has nothing to do with your master's wife's death, there will be a big problem with this person."

Liu Shangang came over and asked Yan Xiaotian: "Aren't you particularly accurate in judging people? Why are you cheated by Li Bingshen?"

Yan Xiaotian hummed in a dull voice and said, "There are not many good people in Baiwu Mountain, and Li Bingshen is not a good thing either. But I can see through their character, but I don't know which sentences they say are true and which sentences are false."

Liu Shangang: "You should have read it wrong. We have been investigating Liang Zi a while ago, and he has no problem at all. Besides, have you believed Zhao Dekai incorrectly before?"

I waved my hand at Liu Shangang: "Don't talk about those useless things. Let's deal with the things in front of me first. I now suspect that what happened in Baiwushan recently has something to do with the burial sect."

Yan Xiaotian rubbed his temples and exhaled helplessly: "Is it that ignorant burial sect again?"

I said, "Well, the person who killed your master's wife should be the one who made Zhao Dekai lose his heart. Do you still feel like you are being peeped at now?"

Yan Xiaotian shook his head: "It's gone since you came."

Liang Houzai said to me: "Yan Xiaotian must have been hit by someone else's technique. The performer had a thorough understanding of their situation. He probably knew that Brother Dao could tell the direction of the Qi field, and was afraid that he would expose his identity, so he interrupted the technique."

Yan Xiaotian asked me: "What should I do next? I'll listen to you."

I said, "It's better to go to the treasure hall to take a look. I feel that Li Bingshen often works there, and it's not just about being robbed. He may have his own purpose."

While speaking, I looked at Liang Houzai, and Liang Houzai nodded: "I agree."

Yan Xiaotian did not hesitate at all and immediately called us to leave the hall. Before leaving the door, he asked the disciples guarding the door to keep a close eye on Li Bingshen.

It seems that these two gatekeepers should be Yan Xiaotian’s confidant.

We walked along the road leading to the main hall. When we were about to reach Bailian Hall, Old Man Wei ran out of a small road. He greeted us from a distance and shouted: "Zheng Sect, left sect, stay!"

Yan Xiaotian stopped and looked at Old Man Wei from afar.

Old Man Wei jogged to us all the way, saw Mr. Zhang Er, and immediately bowed and said, "Where is Mr. Zhang Er, too?"

Mr. Zhang didn't seem to like him very much and did not respond.

After that, Old Man Wei said to Yan Xiaotian again: "There is news from the corpse raising man, saying that he is asking people from our side to go there. There are very important things to discuss with us. I think they are very anxious. The sect, who will we send this time?"

Yan Xiaotian: "It's probably for the purpose of seducing souls. You go and deal with such things, you are better at it."

Old Man Wei first said "ah" and then looked at me and Yan Xiaotian, and asked, "I heard from Elder Cao that the sect plans to dilute the shares of the Presbyterian Council."

Yan Xiaotian nodded and said, "I plan to suppress their equity to less than 10%, your equity remains the same."

When Old Man Wei heard Yan Xiaotian's words, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly bowed and left.

I looked at the back of Old Man Wei who was about to disappear at the end of the path and said to Yan Xiaotian: "When Zhao Dekai made Baiwu Mountain uneasy, was Old Man Wei not his accomplice? Why do you seem to take special care of him now?"

Yan Xiaotian sighed helplessly and said, "It's true that Elder Wei is a fence-bearer. His character is definitely not good, but this person has a great advantage, which is to know the current affairs. When he first defected to Zhao Dekai, he originally wanted to get a share of the pie, but later Zhao Dekai's actions made him understand that he would have ended up in a bleak ending, and he might even lose his life. Now among all the elders, he is the only one who assists me wholeheartedly. Compared with the other elders, Lao Wei is a good person. Alas, I feel upset when talking about those elders. Let's go and go to the treasure pavilion."

We walked this section of the road for nearly an hour. When we arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, we saw several introductory disciples patrolling from afar. They should have seen Yan Xiaotian, but they did not come over to say hello, but chose to change the path and avoid us.

When I went upstairs, Yan Xiaotian said to me: "These people patrolling near the Treasure Pavilion usually just wander around from afar and only come here when they sign in. In recent years, strange things have always happened near the Treasure Pavilion, and they are also afraid."

I said, "The last time we came to Baiwu Mountain, did something strange started here?"

Yan Xiaotian shook his head: "It was after Zhao Dekai's case was resolved that the Treasure Pavilion became strange. That time, in order to investigate Zhao Dekai, the master invited the remaining souls of the ancestors from the ancestral tomb. My ancestors were suppressed by the rules and regulations when they were alive, but after they died, they became free and willful. They often ran out to scare the people on duty here, but with the second master here, they probably wouldn't want to show up."

Mr. Zhang whispered behind me, not sure what he wanted to express.

When I arrived at the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, I saw a very worn wooden table outside the building with a thick notebook on it and two neutral pens next to it.

I remember the last time I came to Treasure Pavilion, there was no such table.

Yan Xiaotian said that every time a disciple came to work, he had to sign the notebook first to prove that he was on time. This was the rule set by Zhao Dekai at the beginning. Yan Xiaotian thought it was not bad, so he kept it.

Liang Houzai walked to the table and looked through the name of the person on the notebook page by page.

A few of us arrived at the door, and Yan Xiaotian took out the key and opened the copper lock on the door.

"Show me the lock." Liu Shangang stretched out his hand at Yan Xiaotian and said, "Give me the key too."

Yan Xiaotian handed the copper lock and key to Liu Shangang at the same time, and said in confusion: "Is there any problem?"

Liu Shangang looked at the keyhole and the key carefully, then pointed to the two scratches near the keyhole and said to us: "This is an old lock. The key has been smoothed out. In theory, it is unlikely that such scratches will be left around the keyhole. Moreover, these two scratches are very thin, and they should have been scratched with very thin metal wire or needles - someone has pried the lock."

Mr. Zhang took the copper lock from Liu Shangang's hand, first rubbed the keyhole with his fingers, then put his nose up and smelled it. He nodded and said, "These two scratches, one left in September of the previous year, and the other left in early January last year. The scratches smelled different from those on the key, and someone had indeed pried the lock."

Yan Xiaotian frowned a few times, and he quickly crossed the threshold and patrolled the room full of cheap magic weapons.

He walked around the room several times, opened several cabinets one by one, carefully flipped through the things inside, and after a while he turned around and said to us, "Nothing is missing."
