"Grandblaze Devil Master, if there are no other questions, Qing Ge will take his leave."
Lu Qingshan surveyed his surroundings. "Although your residence is luxurious, I have a problem. I only like my own home. Whenever I'm in someone else's home, I feel like coughing."
He was mocking them, and his words were not polite at all.
The two great figures did not show much of an expression. However, Ying Mingyue could not help but smile.
She felt that Lu Qingshan's witty words were very interesting.
Grandblaze Devil Master's expression had returned to normal, but his eyes were extremely dark.
At this point, he understood that it was unlikely for him to cause trouble for Qing Ge now.
He nodded, and said calmly, "I've disturbed you today because of Jun 'er's matter. I hope you won't blame me as your brother-in-law."
"Everyone is protective of their children." Lu Qingshan smiled faintly, and said, "I understand."
With that, he cupped his hands and bowed, and left.
"Mingyue, send him off. I have some things to say to your elder brother," Shi Wu Devil Master suddenly said.
Ying Mingyue was stunned. She regained her senses, and hurriedly replied, "Alright."
After "Qing Ge" and Ying Mingyue left.
"Father, do you have anything else to say?" Grandblaze Devil Master asked carefully.
Shi Wu Devil Master closed his eyes. After a long silence, he opened his eyes and said, "I don't want to meddle too much in your affairs. I don't have the intention to."
"However, you'd better not have any devious thoughts about Mingyue and Qing Ge in the future."
"You can't even manage your own family's affairs, and you're still having devious thoughts?" Shi Wu Devil Master's face twitched slightly, and he said angrily, "There's a limit to my patience!"
This was already a very serious reprimand.
"I …" Grandblaze Devil Master was speechless.
Shi Wu Devil Master did not wait for his reply. His figure flashed, and he disappeared.
.....
After Lu Qingshan and Ying Mingyue left Grandblaze Devil Master's residence, they did not speak to each other. The atmosphere was a little strange.
"Thank you, Miss Mingyue.
If you hadn't called for Shi Wu Devil Master to stand up for me in time, Grandblaze Devil Master might have targeted me and accused me of many crimes. "
Lu Qingshan was the first to break the silence and took the initiative to express his gratitude.
He was referring to the matter of Ying Mingyue inviting Shi Wu Demon Venerable.
"When your subordinates told me that you were summoned to the Great Blaze Demon Master's residence for questioning, I knew that something was amiss. I quickly went to seek help from my father.
Fortunately, I made it in time. I saw that the Great Blaze Demon Master was already prepared to suppress you. "Ying Mingyue patted her ample chest and said with lingering fear.
"This is too much!" Thinking of what she saw when she arrived, Ying Mingyue waved her fist angrily.
Lu Qingshan glanced at Ying Mingyue. He felt that her mood today was a bit too agitated.
However, he didn't look into it.
The two of them chatted along the way and soon arrived at Lu Qingshan's residence.
"Is what you said to Demon Master Honglie true?"
Just as Lu Qingshan cupped his hands and bid farewell to her and was about to return to his residence, Ying Mingyue suddenly called out to him and asked.
What I just said to Great Flame Demon Master?
Lu Qingshan was confused.
He said so many words just now, who knew which one Ying Mingyue was referring to?
"Are you referring to the matter of Ying Jie being the culprit behind Ying Jun's death?
That's just my guess. Whether it's true or not, it's up to them to judge. "
"However, whether it's true or not, they will only treat it as false." Lu Qingshan asserted.
"That's not what I'm asking!" Ying Mingyue didn't think carefully about the deeper meaning of Lu Qingshan's words. She couldn't help but stomp her feet.
That wasn't what she was concerned about. When she arrived, she happened to hear Lu Qingshan's first sentence.
"Then what are you referring to?" Lu Qingshan was puzzled.
Ying Mingyue opened her mouth and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she couldn't say anything.
She could only angrily wave her hand, snort, and give up. "It's fine. Just pretend that I didn't ask this question."
After saying that, Ying Mingyue turned and left.
Lu Qingshan was still a little confused.
This woman? Hmm?
She was strange.
.....
In the study.
"Father." Grandblaze Demon Master's eldest son, Ying Jie, walked in.
"How's the situation?" Grandblaze Demon Master put down the black jade in his hand. He didn't see anything unusual and asked calmly.
"Nothing." Ying Jie frowned and reported helplessly, "Father, the culprit who killed Second Brother didn't leave behind any clues other than the wreckage of the battleship."
"We've investigated the surrounding situation in detail and didn't find any suspicious person during this period.
Then, I investigated Second Brother's relationship and didn't find any mortal enemies. Their hatred was so great that they would take such a big risk to kill him. "
Ying Jie was really at his wit's end.
He had a feeling that Ying Jun's death didn't seem to be a well-planned assassination that had been planned for a long time.
It was more like Ying Jun was unlucky and met some vicious person on the way. He was killed on the spot.
The most complicated and difficult to solve cases in the world were precisely these last-minute murders.
Under such circumstances, one couldn't investigate the victim's interpersonal relationships. Under such circumstances, one couldn't trace the culprit based on cause and effect.
Anyone could be the culprit.
It was even possible that the culprit didn't even know Ying Jun.
"Is it because you can't find out, or you're unwilling to, or you don't dare to?" Grandblaze Demon Master's eyes glinted coldly. He suddenly asked, "After all, if you investigate seriously, what if you find out that you're the culprit?"
Ying Jie was stunned. Then, he quickly understood Grandblaze Demon Master's meaning. He shuddered and said in fear, "Ying Jie doesn't know what you mean, father!"
"Don't know what I mean?"
Grandblaze Demon Master sneered. He was instantly enraged and released his anger.
A powerful aura instantly filled the entire study. The aura was like a wave of air. It even caused the air to distort and fluctuate.
His cold brows furrowed slightly. There was anger in his voice. "Tell me the truth. For the sake of the position of the successor of our Shizu bloodline, have you secretly schemed against Jun 'er?"
Ying Jie immediately knelt on the ground. His face was ashen. He said dejectedly, "Father, I've done these things before. However, isn't this human nature?
Didn't you do the same in the past? "
For the sake of the position of the family head, Ying Lie had indeed suppressed and schemed against his brothers.
However, in Grandblaze Demon Master's heart, he could do it himself, but he was absolutely unwilling. He would not allow his son to do so, and he would not allow Ying Jie to speak out.
Only the officials were allowed to set fires, but the common people were not allowed to light lamps.
This was Grandblaze Demon Master's mentality.
Hence, he was slightly stunned. Then, he flew into a rage. A powerful aura erupted and hit Ying Jie directly.
Ying Jie, who was caught off guard, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew out heavily and crashed into the wall.
"Father …" Ying Jie got up with difficulty and said in pain.
"Unfilial son, unfilial son. How dare you speak to me like this. You're not worthy of being my son!" Grandblaze Demon Master pointed at him and scolded angrily.
Ying Jie knelt on the ground and hid his face in the shadows. He said in a hoarse voice, "Father, please forgive me … Father, please forgive me. It was a slip of the tongue.
However, Father, you've wronged me!
No matter how audacious I am, I'd never dare to kill my own brother. Father, please understand! "
There was a moment of silence.
When Ying Jie saw that his father did not speak, he did not dare to raise his head. He trembled all over.
After a long time.
"That'd better be the case." Grandblaze Demon Master's entire body radiated terrifying anger. He finally spoke again. "You'll have to give me an explanation for this. Find the culprit. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."
When he finished speaking, Grandblaze Demon Master's gaze turned extremely cold.
"Yes, Father," Ying Jie replied dejectedly. He got up and walked out of the study with careful steps.
When Grandblaze Demon Master saw Ying Jie stumbling away, he looked at his back. His gaze was distant, and his emotions were extremely complicated.
When he said this, it meant that he no longer cared about this matter. He believed that Ying Jie had no intention of killing his brother.
After all, he only wanted Ying Jie to give him an explanation and find the culprit.
However, only the heavens would know if the "culprit" Ying Jie handed over was the real culprit.
Did he really believe Ying Jie's words?
At most, he half believed it.
Why would Ying Jie not kill his own brother for the sake of the position of the family head?
However, he could only choose to believe it on the surface.
This was because regardless of whether Ying Jun was killed by Ying Jie or not, the outcome would not change.
Ying Jun was dead, and his only pure-blooded son was Ying Jie.
Ying Jie had become the only heir of the Shizu bloodline.
If Ying Jun had really died at Ying Jie's hands, what would he do?
Kill his only pure-blooded heir and bury him with Ying Jun?
Naturally, that was impossible.
Then, spare Ying Jie?
If the crime of killing his own brother was easily spared, the Ying Family would be in chaos in the future.
Hence, the only thing he could do now was to believe it even if he did not want to.
He had no other choice.
Grandblaze Demon Master rubbed his forehead. His expression was complicated. "What a sin …"
After leaving the study, Ying Jie stopped in his tracks. He raised his head and looked at the blood sun in the sky. A hint of madness flashed past his eyes.
"Although I don't know who killed Ying Jun, I have to admit that they've done me a great favor …"
When he heard about Ying Jun's death, his first reaction was shock. Then, he was overjoyed.
Just as he had told Grandblaze Demon Master, his relationship with Ying Jun had never been harmonious. They had even been at odds with each other in private.
After all, in the face of a huge conflict of interest, what was brotherly love?
He could not be happier that someone had helped him get rid of Ying Jun.
"But, it's impossible for me to take the blame for you!" Ying Jie muttered to himself sternly.
He decided that he would find out the truth behind Ying Jun's death.
"Second Brother, don't say that I'm not good to you in the future.
Now that things have come to this, it seems that I'm the only one who cares about how you died, "he said sinisterly.
'Now, I have to find out why Father suddenly changed his mind and started suspecting me,' Ying Jie thought to himself.
His father had not suspected him at all. Why had his father's attitude taken a 180-degree turn in the blink of an eye? It was as if he was certain that he was the murderer.
'When did Father change his mind?' He recalled the details of this incident.
'It was after meeting with Qing Ge …
So, the problem should lie there. '
'Did Qing Ge say something that made Father change his mind?'
Ying Jie quickly figured this out.
His expression became serious.
At this moment, he had just returned to his own courtyard.
He frowned and ordered the servant beside him, "Go and call Butler Ying."
After a short while, Butler Ying of Grandblaze Demon Master's residence hurried over. "Your Highness, is there something you need me to do?"
"Today, when Father met with Qing Ge, did anything special happen?"
Butler Ying thought for a moment and reported, "I don't know why, but when Grandblaze Demon Master and Qing Ge were talking, Shi Wu Demon Venerable actually came with Miss Mingyue."
This was all he knew.
As a servant, he naturally had no right to listen in on the details of the conversation.
Ying Jie nodded, seemingly thinking about something.
"Okay, I understand."
This conversation was indeed not simple.
But if he wanted to know what Qing Ge said, it was definitely not appropriate to ask his father. It was even more impossible to ask Shi Wu Demon Venerable. It would be difficult for Qing Ge to explain it himself.
Therefore, he could only use Ying Mingyue as a breakthrough to probe the situation.
He thought of his nominal young "aunt" and quickly came up with a plan.
She was just a little girl, so wouldn't it be easy for her to get information out of her?
.....
Mingyue Residence.
Ying Mingyue, who rarely changed into a plain white dress, had a strange look in her cool eyes.
"Ying Jie came to visit?" She whispered to herself, "It's the first time I've seen it. It's probably nothing good …
But I want to see what he's planning. "
She immediately raised her head and ordered, "Invite him in. Just bring him to the hall."
Soon, Ying Jie came in with two servants.
The attendants consciously stood outside the hall and watched His Highness walk in.
"Hey, isn't this Nephew Gu? Why are you looking for my aunt? "Ying Mingyue said sarcastically.
"Can't I come to visit Aunt if I have nothing to do?" Ying Jie said with a smile.
It was this kind of behavior that made Ying Mingyue more careful.
It should be known that Ying Jie and Ying Jun were never willing to admit her identity as their aunt.
She knew the characters of these two brothers like the back of her hand.
Seeing Ying Jie's attitude, she knew that Ying Jie's purpose was either evil or hiding something.
"If you have something to say, just say it. I can't listen to your hypocritical words …" Ying Mingyue snorted coldly.
She seemed to think of something, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She added, "I have a problem. Whenever I hear hypocritical words, I want to cough!"
"In fact, there is something I want to ask you. The matter of Ying Jun's death has been very big recently. You should know about it, right?" Ying Jie was very mentally strong. He didn't mind Ying Mingyue's words and asked.
"So what? What does it have to do with me?" Ying Mingyue replied coldly, "Your family's matter is your family's matter. Why do you come to me?"
"Because," Ying Jie sneered and suddenly shouted, "Father suspected that your future husband, Qing Ge, was the one who framed Ying Jun."
"Impossible. He doesn't have the ability to deal with Ying Jun. He has already been ruled out as a suspect." Although Ying Mingyue was shocked, she was still very calm.
"Why is it impossible? He doesn't have the ability, but he can ask someone to help. For example … ask his future wife to help!" Ying Jie said gloomily.
Ying Mingyue's expression changed. "What do you mean?"
"Aunt, you have been in King City for so many years. Don't you have some connections in private? Qing Ge has just arrived here and is weak, but he has your help. "
Ying Jie said sarcastically, "Father also agrees with me, so I specially came to remind you. It's best if you don't let me catch you.
Otherwise, when the evidence is conclusive, even if Shi Wu Demon Venerable wants to protect you, father will definitely not let you off easily for killing my second brother. "
Ying Mingyue suppressed her anger at Ying Jie's aggressive words. She gnashed her teeth and said, "You are a thief crying thief. You are clearly the one who killed my brother. Now you want to put the blame on me and Qing Ge."
Sure enough!
A sharp light flashed in Ying Jie's eyes, but he hid it very well. He continued, "A thief crying thief? Even if I am a thief, do you have any evidence to prove that I am a thief? "
He put on a fearless attitude, as if he was really the murderer. He just wanted to continue infuriating Ying Mingyue.
The young Ying Mingyue was obviously not as scheming as Ying Jie. She also didn't realize Ying Jie's purpose.
She quickly followed up with a cold voice.
"Do you really think you did it flawlessly? Qing Ge has already seen through your despicable methods. He hit the nail on the head. "
Speaking of this, Ying Mingyue became more confident. "You are too smart. You think that by deliberately leaving the wreckage of the battleship with misleading information, you can turn the clues of the murderer to someone else and wash away your suspicion.
But you forgot that the real murderer would not leave material evidence that might reveal his identity at the scene.
If the murderer is really so stupid, why can't we find him until now? "
"Isn't this self-contradictory?" Ying Mingyue said disdainfully.
So that's how it is, so that's how it is. So Qing Ge used these reasons to turn the topic to me.
Ying Jie knew the answer. He hid the excitement in his heart and said again,
"Just because of these, you can conclude that I killed Qing Ge? Ridiculous! "
"These are not enough," Ying Mingyue said immediately. "But after Ying Jun died, you became the only successor of the Shidu branch. You benefited the most and had the biggest motive. If I don't suspect you, who do I suspect?"
Seeing Ying Jie's face suddenly become gloomy, Ying Mingyue couldn't help but feel happy. However, she didn't want to chat with Ying Jie anymore. "Aunt is a little tired today. Forgive me for not being able to accompany you for long. Jiao 'er, see the guest out!"
Soon, the maid with horns on her head called Jiao 'er walked up and said with difficulty, "Lord Ying Jie, what do you think?"
Ying Jie flung his sleeve, very dissatisfied. However, he didn't stay and left in the end.
.....
After leaving Mingyue Mansion and returning to his own mansion.
Ying Jie began to organize the information and intelligence in his hands.
"The remains of the battleship were found at the place where Ying Jun was killed. Chi Zun also found the remains of sword qi on the remains of the battleship.
Only a few people know about this for now, and Qing Ge is definitely not one of them. "
"But he was able to predict everything." He had a deep smile on his face, but his tone was very cold.
"It can be said that he guessed correctly and saw through all the thoughts of the murderer. In addition, I did indeed benefit the most from Ying Jun's death.
If I were someone else, I would also believe what he said and think that I, Ying Jie, was the murderer. "
"However, I am the 'murderer' that he mentioned. I also know that Ying Jun's death has nothing to do with me."
"So, this is worth thinking about."
He emitted an extremely terrifying and gloomy aura. "Because, for someone to be able to predict everything, other than being able to predict everything, there is another possibility …"
"He is the murderer!"
The murderer naturally knew the details of the murder.
This was only one of the possibilities.
However, Ying Jie's intuition told him that this was most likely the truth!
"But why would Qing Ge want to kill Ying Jun?"
Ying Jie started to analyze. "He shouldn't have had too many conflicts with Ying Jun.
After all, only a life and death grudge would make him dare to kill a pure-blooded Soldier Devil … "
"If it's not a huge grudge, then it should be for benefits …"
Killing someone for revenge, sex, or wealth.
Let's eliminate the possibility of revenge for now.
Sex … Yes, we can eliminate that too.
All that's left is to seek wealth. "
"Wealth …?" Ying Jie frowned. "Although Qing Ge is only a mixed-blood, he's still the son of a Demon Lord. He doesn't lack normal wealth."
"Unless Ying Jun has something that even a Demon Lord wouldn't easily give away …"
He started to think.
Soon, an answer popped up.
"Blood … Spirit … Crystal!" Ying Jie's eyes flashed with excitement.
Yes, Blood Spirit Crystal.
Blood Spirit Crystal that even Demon Lord Blade couldn't easily give away.
Only the Shi Wu bloodline had such a large amount of Blood Spirit Crystal at their disposal because of special circumstances.
Shi Wu Demon Lord risked entering the Waste Region for the sake of King City and was heavily injured.
Naturally, King City couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Hence, they gave him a lot of compensation, including Blood Spirit Crystals.
These Blood Spirit Crystals belonged to Shi Wu Demon Lord. He exchanged them with his life.
Hence, no matter how Shi Wu Demon Lord distributed these Blood Spirit Crystals, the subordinates of the Shi Wu bloodline could not object.
If he remembered correctly, his father had sent Ying Jun to discuss cooperation with Qing Ge. Blood Spirit Crystals were one of the most important conditions.
Ying Jun had brought many Blood Spirit Crystals with him.
Others might not know this, but Qing Ge definitely knew.
For a mixed-blood like Qing Ge, Blood Spirit Crystals were definitely a very tempting resource. He couldn't ignore them.
In order to obtain these Blood Spirit Crystals, Qing Ge had decided to kill Ying Jun.
It was a very reasonable guess.
The truth was slowly coming to light. It was almost the same as the truth.
"Then there's only one question left." Ying Jie's eyes grew colder. "How did Qing Ge kill Ying Jun?!"
This was the question he couldn't figure out. It was also why Lu Qingshan was able to clear his name so quickly.
It was impossible for him to do it alone.
He had to rely on the help of others.
However, Qing Ge's subordinates were indeed in the mansion at that time. This was the information he had obtained from his investigation.
Ying Jie closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
What the hell was going on?
Was he really tricked and Ying Mingyue had something to do with this?
However, judging from Ying Mingyue's behavior, it didn't seem like he was right at all.
After a moment.
He opened his eyes abruptly and mumbled, "Either he used some kind of trick, or he had help from someone else in Royal City. In any case, there are only two possibilities …"
Ying Jie thought for a while and found that he couldn't get an accurate answer based on his own guesses.
He hesitated for a moment.
"Then I can only continue to investigate."
Their Shi Wu bloodline was one of the few big families in Jianluo Kingdom. They had a wide network and great influence.
He didn't believe that a bastard from a King Realm who had just arrived would be able to deceive the entire Ying Family!
