Chapter 73 - Follow-up

The spiritual artifact was bought by me. Chu Zheng nodded, then pointed at the thief with a calm expression, "But he stole this spiritual artifact."

The thief's expression changed dramatically and he shouted, "I didn't. She was just talking nonsense. It was she who killed Young Master Song."

"Is there any evidence that I killed you?"

"This spiritual artifact is the evidence!" The thief shouted loudly.

It was stolen by you.

"I didn't!" The thief retorted, glaring at Chu Zheng with resentment, "I didn't steal. She was lying. She's lying. She's the murderer!"

The Song family looked at Chu Zheng and then at the thief. Suddenly, they didn't know who to trust. Who on earth had killed their young master?

Chu Zheng insisted that her spiritual artifact had been stolen and that the death of Young Master Song had nothing to do with her.

She appeared calm and composed, showing no sign of the murderer's panic or tension at all.

Watching the thief shout and scream again makes it even more suspicious.

The Song family was a bit indecisive and finally decided to take both Chu Zheng and the thief back. No matter who it was, one of them was bound to be the murderer.

"Miss, I've offended you. Please come back to our mansion with us. If it wasn't your fault, we'll apologize to you." "

"Not available." Chu Zheng returned to her room, intending to close it.

The speaker frowned, stepped forward and propped himself up the door, saying, "Miss, if you want to clear your name, you'd better come back to the mansion with us."

Chu Zheng retorted expressionlessly, "You suspect me with just one sentence. Can I also say with just one sentence that you are the murderer and that you are Shouting 'Catch the thief'?"

That person: "..."

Before the man could decide on his words, Chu Zheng suddenly made a move and kicked him out with one foot.

The man flew out, broke the corridor railing and fell under the inn.

Chu Zheng looked at the other shocked Song family members and said coldly, "I told you, if it weren't me and you dared to come here again, I would kill you all."

Bang!

The door was closed and the leader of the Song family was kicked away. They didn't dare to step forward and went downstairs to look for the leader.

The leader was vomiting blood furiously at this moment, and everyone was even more shocked. How could the girl, who had just given a casual kick, vomit blood?

The leader, with a sullen face, ordered them, "Send someone to guard this place and take this man back first."

"It wasn't me. Why did you arrest me? It was her, that woman!" The thief struggled.

When they discovered Young Master Song, they happened to catch this sneaky man nearby. But then, he said he had seen the murder weapon, which belonged to a woman.

Only then did they come looking for it.

The death of the young master of the Song family was a major event. The next day, the news spread like wildfire and many people clapped their hands in approval.

Young Master Song is the bully of Shangning City. He forcibly robbed a decent girl and killed her in public, relying on the fact that the Song family has nothing he can't do.

There were no clues in the dungeon. They didn't even know why Young Master Song was there. They could only conclude that it was the murderer who took him there.

That afternoon, someone showed up and said they saw someone furtively following behind Young Master Song, and that person pointed directly at the thief.

The Song family found out that the thief urgently needed spirit stones to repay his gambling debts. He had a motive to commit the crime.

Some people also said that they saw Chu Zheng and Young Master Song communicating. However, after Chu Zheng and Young Master Song parted ways, they returned directly to the inn.

Both the innkeeper and the waiter can testify that she has never gone out.

Although the Song family felt that Chu Zheng was highly suspected, she had someone to testify to and still had the ability. So the Song family didn't dare to do anything rashly.

In the end, it was the thief who took the blame and became the murderer of Young Master Song.

The Song family.

"Head of the house, that woman is even more suspicious..."

The head of the Song family wore a stern expression, clutching the iron walnut with a clanging sound in his hand. "Song Li is in her hands."

What? The man was astonished: "Master Biao?" He... Isn't he dead?

He saw it with his own eyes back then! That half-human, half-demon monster...

The head of the Song family had no intention of saying why Li Tang was still alive: "That bastard is in her hands. If she exposes this matter, the Song family will have an affair with the demons, and we will become the target of everyone's criticism."

The man digested for a while and said, "Master of the house, are you overthinking it?" What she says may not be believed by anyone either.

Head of the Song family: "The Song family is so big that it attracts a lot of attention. Whether it's true or not, someone will always take the opportunity to make a fuss."

The man's expression changed obviously. Now, in Shangning City, it seemed that the Song family was leading the way, and there were countless people secretly trying to pull them down.

If they have an unclear connection with the demons, even if the Song family is innocent, they will be taken advantage of and fall into an irreversible situation.

"Head of the house, this matter..."

If she has any ulterior motives, she will surely contact us. The head of the Song family said, "Send someone to keep an eye on her first. If there's an opportunity..."

The head of the Song family gave him a look that he understood.

That person made a clear gesture of wiping his neck.

The head of the Song family instructed, "Do not act without complete certainty."

"Yes." The man responded, "By the way, Master of the house. In a few days, the eldest daughter should be back."

The expression on the head of the Song family softened a little. "The Ziyun Sect recruits new disciples every three years. This time, LAN 'er's return should be for this matter, so that the sons of the Song family can make good preparations."

"Yes."

-

Inn.

Li Tang leaned against the bedside and was drinking porridge by Chu Zheng's hand.

Do you think they believed it? It was the first time these days that Li Tang had taken the initiative to speak.

What?

It wasn't your fault to kill him.

If I say no, it's no. Chu Zheng held the spoon to his mouth, and Li Tang opened her mouth slightly.

The Song family doesn't talk about evidence.

They dare not lay a hand on me.

Why?

Chu Zheng had a serious expression on her face: "You can't beat me."

"..."

Li Tang watched Chu Zheng clear the plates. He opened his lips, about to say something but stopped.

Say whatever you want.

"..." Li Tang was exposed and simply spoke up, "Are you a demon?"

"Right?"

"..." Yes is yes, no is no, right? What does it mean? "The demons were sealed in the underground magic city. How did you get out?"

How your father got out, that's how I got out.

Li Tang frowned and her tone changed slightly: "Do you know my father?"

His mother seldom mentioned his father, but he knew that his mother loved him very much and she didn't regret it at all.

His mother also said that his father didn't abandon them on purpose and that he had his reasons.

If there is a chance...

"Don't know." Chu Zheng Dao.

Then why did you save me?

Chu Zheng slightly clenched his fists and solemnly swore, "When I see injustice on the road, I will draw my sword to help and be a good person." Be a good person, or else you'll be a loser... No, rewind. Rewind is not allowed! Definitely not!

"..." Is there anything wrong with this person?

If this were said by a human monk, he might believe it.

But she is a demon. How could she say she wants to be a good person? Have all the good people in this world died out?

The way she treated me before always made me feel like she was deliberately playing tricks on me. She didn't seem like a good person at all.

This woman is so strange...
