"You must be the acting Family Head of the Xiao Family, right?"
Qin Yi did not panic in the slightest as he stared at the middle-aged man and asked calmly.
The middle-aged man frowned, obviously displeased that Qin Yi did not recognize him. "I am Xiao Cheng, the current Family Head of the Xiao Family! You must be Qin Yi, right? I heard that you are now the beloved disciple of Elder Di Ruolin of the Yin-Yang Academy. What, could it be that you also want to meddle in this matter? Or did the Guo Family and Gu Family know that they are in the wrong, so they specially pulled you over to be their backer? "
Xiao Cheng's words could be said to be rude.
Obviously, after Xiao Luo's death, he, as the new Family Head, was anxious to establish his authority, so he had specially changed his attitude to be so tough.
However, compared to the dead Xiao Luo, this Xiao Cheng really did not seem like a big deal.
First of all, his strength had actually just reached the Virūpākṣa Rank, which was really nothing compared to the other Family Heads.
Secondly, it was his bearing. Although he appeared to be quite tough, in fact, it was because the other three people were standing by his side to support him.
If he was alone, it would be impossible for him to display such a heroic spirit.
"Oh, it is Family Head Xiao! Sorry for my disrespect! "
Qin Yi cupped his fists and said indifferently, "Family Head Xiao, you keep saying that we are in the wrong. Qin Mo, Family Head Guo, and Family Head Tao did not come to cause trouble on purpose. If you insist that they are the murderers, why don't you let us go in and examine the scene and Family Head Xiao's body? "
"No way!"
Unexpectedly, when Qin Yi proposed to inspect the scene and examine the body, Xiao Cheng did not even think about it and directly rejected his request. "My brother has unfortunately died, and the murderers are still at large. This is already a great humiliation to the Xiao Family! Now, I want you to visit the so-called scene again and examine my brother's body. What about the dignity of the Xiao Family? "
"Hehe."
Qin Yi smiled faintly. He wasn't angry at all. Instead, he said, "From your tone, you seem to think that we are the murderers. We only went in to admire our achievements. Since you're so certain, then you should have sufficient evidence, right? Take out the evidence. Today, if you can take out the evidence to prove that we are the murderers, I will kill you. We will definitely give you an explanation. Even if you ask me to give my life to you, I will not complain! "
"This …"
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Cheng's aura seemed to have been extinguished by water, and he immediately started to stutter.
But soon, he took a deep breath, puffed out his chest and said, "Although I don't have any evidence for now, I believe that I will find it in the future! At that time, I will definitely seek justice for my brother! Although our Xiao Family is no longer at its peak, we definitely won't let anyone bully and humiliate us! At that time, even if we have to use the entire clan's strength, we will make the murderer pay the price! "
Pa pa pa!
Just as Xiao Cheng finished speaking, Tao Nianyan suddenly clapped her hands. Then, she narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "Family Head Xiao's temperament is indeed extraordinary. Even I felt my blood boil after hearing this speech. However, I heard that the younger brother of the previous Xiao Family Head, Xiao Luo, is an ignorant and incompetent good-for-nothing who can't even speak properly. Family Head Xiao Cheng, you must have prepared those words for more than one night, right? "
Xiao Cheng's expression immediately turned ugly. "Family Head Tao, you … are also a family head. I … I, Xiao Cheng, am also a family head. What right do you have to call me a good-for-nothing in front of my Xiao Family?"
The corners of Tao Nianyan's mouth curled up slightly, and the smile on her face grew even wider.
Xiao Cheng's words were originally meant to be used as a counterattack. Unfortunately, these simple words further exposed the fact that he was a good-for-nothing!
Most importantly, although Xiao Cheng didn't understand Tao Nianyan's words, it didn't mean that others didn't understand.
At this moment, there were already many people looking at Xiao Cheng with a trace of suspicion in their eyes.
It was only at this moment that Xiao Cheng finally understood Tao Nianyan's sinister intentions. He immediately retorted loudly, "Tao Nianyan, I respect you as a person of character! I didn't expect … I didn't expect you to slander me like this in front of others! Those words just now were all my words … from the bottom of my heart. What do you mean by preparing for a long time? It's all fake! Xiao Luo's death has nothing to do with me! "
"Where's the evidence?"
At this moment, Guo Yingzhuo also took a step forward and asked, "Since you keep saying that you're not the murderer! Then please take out the evidence! As long as you can take out the evidence, Family Head Tao and I will immediately apologize to you without any hesitation! "
"Evidence …"
At this moment, a trace of sweat had already seeped out of Xiao Cheng's forehead. It could be seen that compared to Tao Nianyan and Guo Yingzhuo, these two people who had been in this muddy water for so many years, Xiao Cheng was still a little too inexperienced.
At this moment, even if he really didn't kill Xiao Luo, his current performance made people doubt him a little more!
As for evidence, of course there was no evidence! Otherwise, Xiao Cheng wouldn't be so flustered. If there really was evidence, he would have taken it out with confidence long ago. Why would he be so talkative here?
"Family Head Tao, Family Head Guo, are the two of you here to cause trouble or for something else?"
At this moment, it was Xiong Yu, the Xiong Family's Family Head, who took the lead and asked, "Although Brother Xiao Cheng is a little stupid, he definitely wouldn't kill his brother to seize the position! Even if there is no evidence, I can guarantee it with my character! "
"Haha!"
At this moment, Tao Nianyan pursed her lips and said, "Family Head Xiong seems to have a good relationship with the new Family Head of the Xiao Family! However, since you guarantee him with your character, can we also suspect that you colluded with the Family Head of the Xiao Family to kill Brother Xiao? "
"You!"
A cold light flashed in Xiong Yu's eyes and he cursed in his heart, What a vicious woman!
He obviously didn't expect that he would be splashed with a basin of dirty water by Tao Nianyan when he originally wanted to exonerate Xiao Cheng! In the end, Xiao Cheng's suspicions weren't cleared. Instead, he became a suspect again!
