"There is no real evidence now, so we can't jump to conclusions." Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. Without real evidence, even if it was really Ren Qiushui, they couldn't do anything about it.
Qin Tianyue said, "Brother Xiao Chen, this Ren Qiushui is arrogant and unruly. He doesn't put others in his eyes at all. He probably has a guilty conscience. It's rare for Miss Dantong to be slandered, so he naturally pushed all the blame to Miss Dantong."
Feng Ming agreed, "Commander Tianyue's words are not without reason. Ren Qiushui must be suspicious."
"Unfortunately, there is no conclusive evidence. Even if he did it, we can't do anything if he doesn't admit it. So it's still useful to find conclusive evidence." Xiao Chen smiled. Although he felt that Ren Qiushui was suspicious, he still needed evidence.
In the absence of evidence, if they arbitrarily accused Ren Qiushui of being the thief, they might provoke the Colored Glaze Palace. At that time, Xiao Chen would be in trouble. Xiao Chen didn't want to investigate something and provoke a big force.
Speaking of this, Xiao Chen asked again, "What about this Gao Jianfeng?"
"Gao Jianfeng is the Young Lord of Blood Net City. He is a late Ghost Emperor. He is gentle and polite. He rarely interacted with the Young City Lord three years ago. Their relationship is also good." Feng Ming explained. The last two people, Feng Ming also narrated one by one.
"Among these five people, except for Ren Qiushui, the others are the most suspicious." Wu Hao frowned and said, "It seems that this matter must be related to Ren Qiushui."
Xiao Chen frowned and said, "Among these five people, they are all suspicious and none of them are suspicious. Maybe one of the followers was greedy."
"They are all suspicious and none of them are suspicious? Xiao Chen, what do you mean? "Yi Dantong asked doubtfully. She couldn't understand.
Xiao Chen glanced at Yi Dantong and said with a smile, "Among these five people, their backgrounds are not small. Although the fifth-grade pill is very tempting, it is not impossible for them to obtain it. Why would they steal it? But only they know where the Young City Lord placed the pill, so I said they are all suspicious and none of them are suspicious. "
"What about Ren Qiushui?" Qin Tianyue asked.
"Even if Ren Qiushui is arrogant and conceited, it might not be him. Maybe he ordered his subordinates to act to prove that the Colored Glaze Palace is strong and not afraid of other forces, but we can't rule it out." Xiao Chen smiled and said. He didn't see anything suspicious from the characters of these five people.
"Since we can't confirm it, how do we investigate?" Wu Hao asked. He didn't know where to start investigating.
"First, spread the news that we are investigating the theft of the medicinal pills. This may lead to the culprit. Let's stop here for today and investigate after the banquet. Also, keep these five people here for the time being. I want to meet them one by one," Xiao Chen said with a smile. There was no trace of anxiety on his face. It seemed he had already thought of a solution.
"Xiao Chen, you're saying that the thief knows that you're investigating this matter and might secretly deal with you?" Qin Tian also guessed.
Xiao Chen nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. Only a dead person can protect the truth and not be found out by others. Therefore, the thieves will definitely come to deal with me and even want to silence me."
"What? Silence me? Then wouldn't we be in danger? "Huo Yun's expression changed greatly. He was secretly worried.
"There's definitely danger, but we still have to investigate. Therefore, we'll lure the snake out of its hole. First, spread the news of the theft investigation. Tomorrow, after I meet the five young masters, we'll leave Wildfire City." Xiao Chen said with a mysterious smile.
Under Qin Tianyue's arrangement, Xiao Chen and the other two returned to their respective rooms to rest. On the same day, Qin Tianyue also spread the news of Xiao Chen's investigation.
The wedding banquet ended on the same day, and the people that came to congratulate them dispersed one after another. However, there were still many people that stayed behind, wanting to see exactly who had stolen the medicinal pills. Under the invitation of Protector Feng Ming, Ren Qiushui and the other four young masters and their attendants stayed behind in Wildfire City.
In Xiao Chen's room, the little fox asked, "Master, who do you think it is?"
"Is there still a need to say? Of course it's Ren Qiushui. "Ancient White Tiger said. He had the same opinion as Huo Yun and believed that it was Ren Qiushui who did it.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Ren Qiushui is indeed the most suspicious, but we can't confirm that it was him. Everything depends on the evidence. After all, their background is not small. We can't casually slander others. Otherwise, it will lead to a fatal disaster."
After pausing for a moment, Xiao Chen continued, "With the Dharma Protector's understanding of these five people, it's only on the surface. The Dharma Protector doesn't know their true faces. Perhaps he will be able to see some clues tomorrow."
"The Young City Lord must have gone mad from anger. It's such a rare occasion for a big wedding, but such a thing actually happened, causing the wedding to be delayed. He couldn't even perform the ceremony and had to choose another auspicious day." The Ancient White Tiger laughed.
In another room, Ren Qiushui muttered to herself, "Who is this Xiao Chen? I've never seen or heard of him before. Today, I can't see the depth of his cultivation. What a mysterious guy. Where did the Dharma Protector find him? Can he really find out? "
"Investigating a case at such a young age, he's really overestimating himself." In another room, Liu Yuesong laughed. He didn't think that Xiao Chen could find the thief.
The young masters in the other rooms were also speculating about Xiao Chen.
The night passed in the blink of an eye. The next morning, Xiao Chen woke up from his cultivation and smiled faintly, "The Chaotic Force absorbs the spiritual energy of the Ghost Realm. After conversion, it can also provide me with Celestial Core Power for cultivation. Not bad."
Speaking of this, Xiao Chen slowly stood up and stretched. His whole body crackled and he laughed, "It's so comfortable! Hehe, it's time to meet these big shots! Let's start with Ren Qiushui. "
Among the five, Gao Jianfeng, Liu Yuesong, Kong Chengtian, and Zhao Taiyu were relatively low-key. Only Ren Qiushui was the most arrogant and the most suspicious. Naturally, Xiao Chen started with him.
Xiao Chen came to Ren Qiushui's room alone and knocked on the door. He smiled and said, "I'm Xiao Chen. I have something to ask Young Master."
"Xiao Chen?" In the room, Ren Qiushui was stunned and a little surprised. She then said arrogantly, "Come in."
"Creak!"
Xiao Chen slowly pushed the door open and entered the room. Ren Qiushui woke up from her cultivation and slowly stood up. She didn't even look at Xiao Chen. She didn't put Xiao Chen in her eyes at all.
Ren Qiushui sat down and poured a cup of tea. She said impatiently, "What's the matter? Just say it. Don't beat around the bush and don't talk nonsense. "
"Young Master is indeed straightforward." Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I wonder what Young Master thinks about the theft of the elixirs? Where was Young Master when the elixirs were stolen yesterday? "
Hearing this, Ren Qiushui raised the teacup and wanted to take a sip. She then put it down and sneered, "Xiao Chen, so the person you suspect is me."
"Strange, Ren Qiushui doesn't have the aura of the elixirs. Could it be that he deliberately hid it?" Xiao Chen was puzzled. However, he smiled and said, "This is just an investigation. I hope Young Master doesn't mind."
"Xiao Chen, I was by Yun Fan's side yesterday and never left. My subordinates were also following me. Many people can testify. You can ask anyone. I'll tell you the truth. As long as you can find evidence to prove that I stole the elixirs, you can do whatever you want with me. However, if you dare to slander me, you know the consequences." Ren Qiushui sneered. She wasn't afraid of Xiao Chen investigating her.
"Xiao Chen, this guy is really arrogant!" Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said.
"Hehe, if I find out that you stole it, I won't be polite to you." Xiao Chen smiled and said. He wasn't afraid of Ren Qiushui. His cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Ghost Emperor, the same as Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen had never been afraid of anyone in the same cultivation. Moreover, he had never been defeated by an enemy of the same cultivation.
Ren Qiushui heard this and felt that Xiao Chen was interesting. She sneered and said, "Xiao Chen, I'm very curious about your cultivation. You dare to challenge me. You should know that I'm the Young Master of the Colored Glaze Palace."
"So what? Don't forget that it was your order to injure Dantong. The Luo Sha Palace Master said that if the Colored Glaze Palace didn't give him an explanation, he wouldn't let this matter go. If the thief is really you, do you think the Colored Glaze Palace is a match for the Luo Sha Palace and the Ghost Fire City? "Xiao Chen smiled and said calmly.
Ren Qiushui sneered and said, "So you're in cahoots with the Luo Sha Palace. However, if you didn't do anything wrong, you shouldn't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. You don't have to worry about the Luo Sha Palace. If you insist on interfering, don't blame me for being rude to you."
"Xiao Chen, this guy is very calm. I can't see anything wrong with him." Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said. Originally, he wanted to find some clues from Ren Qiushui's conversation. However, he was disappointed that he didn't find anything.
"That will depend on your ability. Let's end our conversation here. I still have to continue my investigation. Goodbye." Xiao Chen smiled faintly and turned to leave. Xiao Chen didn't care about Ren Qiushui's threat at all.
Seeing Xiao Chen leave, Ren Qiushui's face instantly became gloomy. She said angrily, "Xiao Chen, you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
When Xiao Chen returned to the main city hall, City Lord Yun Qinghong quickly asked, "Brother Xiao Chen, did you find anything?"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "No. Although this Ren Qiushui is arrogant, from the conversation with him, I didn't find anything that he deliberately avoided."
"The biggest suspect is him. He actually didn't find anything. Could it be that the thief isn't him?" Qin Tianyue frowned and said, secretly disappointed in her heart.
Feng Ming said solemnly, "If it isn't Ren Qiushui, then who else could it be?"
"The five of them have a good relationship with me. Who would treat me like this?" Yun Fan said angrily. He didn't believe that it would be one of the five of them.
"Young City Lord, don't worry. There are still four people. I will ask them one by one." Xiao Chen said with a smile. He was also guessing in his heart who was the most suspicious of the remaining four people.
"Xiao Chen, who are you going to look for next?" Wu Hao asked.
"Zhao Taiyu. I heard from Feng Ming's Dharma Protector that Zhao Taiyu once had a small conflict with the Young City Lord. They even fought. From this point, we can conclude that Zhao Taiyu might have stolen the elixir to take revenge on the Young City Lord." Xiao Chen said with a smile. If he started investigating from all suspicious places, he would definitely be able to find out.
