Chapter 438 The Cunning Enemy

Fuck. Zhang Yuanqing swears in his heart.

At this time, within the Sea of ​​Consciousness, a soft and warm halo danced slowly.

This halo came from the lie detector tool in his hand.

The principle of polygraph tools is actually very simple. First, observe you, and observe whether you are lying through mental fluctuations, micro-expressions, breathing, pores, and even adrenaline secretion.

Two, to control you, and force you to be unable to lie through a higher level of power.

The representative ability of the former is the scout's insight technique.

The latter's representative ability is the Tiger Talisman that Zhang Yuanqing has come into contact with before.

The polygraph tool in front of me belongs to the first type, but it is different from the insight technique, it is to enter the sea of ​​consciousness and observe the spirit body.

Therefore, this situation cannot be passed on to Xiao Doubi, only the second mental control ability can be passed on.

Essentially, that halo didn't do anything to you, it was just observing you.

Zhang Yuanqing had to face a problem now, avoiding the dean's question, but he would be seen by the insight technique.

If you lie, you will be identified by the small brown horns.

The consequence is that all harvests have to be handed over to the Hundred Flowers Club and the headquarters in exchange for rewards and meritorious service.

Just as the thoughts in his mind were changing rapidly, a cold voice came:

"I was with him last night and we can testify to each other."

Talking Zhao Chenghuang.

The second generation of the Taiyi Sect, with an extremely cold expression and tone, grabbed the small horn from Zhang Yuanqing's hand in the eyes of everyone who heard the sound, and said:
"I didn't kill Xia Zhaoxue, her death has nothing to do with me."

Students and teachers immediately looked at the little brown horn.

It is dark and quaint, without any changes.

It wasn't Yuanshi Tianzun, nor Zhao Chenghuang. Everyone present looked at Yuan Ting and the starry sky observer, their eyes full of unexplained vigilance.

Zhao Chenghuang still held the small brown horn, and said:
"Dean, Yuanshi Tianzun has proved his innocence, why do you still ask him if he stayed in the dormitory all night, do you have any new clues.

"The students present are all front-line workers. In terms of the ability to solve and investigate cases, the teachers of the academy are inferior to us. If you have any clues, please don't hide them and tell us."

He stared at the dean coldly and calmly.

Well done! ! !

Zhang Yuanqing gave a big praise in his heart.

He said in his heart that he is indeed the most beautiful cub of the Taiyi Sect. Although he likes to act cool and handsome, he is reliable at critical moments.

Zhao Chenghuang not only resolved his crisis, but also reversed his army.

If the dean is an armored person, he will definitely not be able to give a reason, and if he can't give a reason, if he keeps asking repeatedly, there must be a problem.

Official saints are not fools.

The dean frowned, shook his head and said:

"I got the same message as everyone else,"

Zhao Chenghuang nodded without expression, and handed the small brown horn to Yuan Ting beside him.

All the students stared sharply at him for an instant.

"I didn't kill Xia Zhaoxue, her death has nothing to do with me." Yuan Ting said loudly.

The little brown horn still didn't respond.

Yuan Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and began to chatter habitually: "I'm not familiar with Xia Zhaoxue at all, and she doesn't have any gossip. Well, I'm not saying I like gossip, just."

The small brown horn in his hand suddenly emitted a bright and pure light.

Everyone who was disappointed just now looked over at once, with sharp eyes, as if seeing a heinous criminal.

The dean shouted loudly:
"Yuan Ting, stand where you are, don't move."

While speaking, he summoned a three-foot-long sword.

The students and teachers retreated quickly, posing to meet the enemy.

Yuan Ting held the small brown horn, feeling a little at a loss.

The dean shouted:

"Did you kill Xia Zhaoxue? Answer me!"

"no!"

Everyone glanced at Xiaojiao, and the dean shouted again: "Are you familiar with Xia Chaoxue?"

"Unfamiliar!"

Everyone looked at the little brown horn again, but there was still no response.

Um?The reason why the little horn glowed just now is
In the crowd, Zhang Yuanqing said angrily, "Do you like gossip?"

"do not like."

The little brown horn shone brightly.

The scene suddenly fell into silence.

Yuan Ting was a little embarrassed.

Everyone is also very embarrassed.

The dean didn't expect this to be the result. He was stunned for a long time, then changed the subject without changing his face, and said, "Next."

Zhang Yuanqing followed the trend and said:
"Dean, don't ask irrelevant questions, and students, don't say irrelevant things."

Yuan Ting let out a long breath, and threw the polygraph tool to the star observer not far away.

"I didn't kill Xia Zhaoxue, her death has nothing to do with me." The starry sky observer said indifferently.

The little brown horn did not respond.

Seeing this, the crowd went into an uproar again.

Isn't the murderer a star official?

"If it's not a star official, then it's using props to commit crimes." Lin Su, the alchemy teacher of the Qing Leng Forest Department, said:
"Anyone can be a murderer, including girls."

"How do girls have sex with Xia Zhaoxue?" A female student questioned.

Lin Su with a cool demeanor said:
"We didn't find male body fluids from Xia Chaoxue's body at all, did we?"

The crowd fell into contemplation.

If bodily fluids are found, my red dancing shoes will directly lock the murderer, so there is no need for such trouble. Zhang Yuanqing said heartily.

Next, under the witness of the dean, all went through a round of lie detection.

The situation of the first day happened again-the murderer could not be found.

Everyone passed the polygraph and clairvoyance tests.

This means that the murderer has a special ability to hide, and lie detection and insight are invalid.

Such a result undoubtedly deepened the suspicion and panic of the students, and they looked at each other with vigilance and distrust quietly.

The old dean thought for a long time, and slowly said:

"Everyone immediately went to the library and wrote down their entire process from last night to this morning. From now on, two people should not leave each other three meters away from each other when eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom until the real culprit is found. , or the training period ends.”

Today is the fourth day of entering Qinfeng Academy, and there are three days before the end of the training.

"Wait!" Zhang Yuanqing's voice interrupted everyone from going to the library.

He stared at the gray-haired old man, "Dean, you also need to take a polygraph test."

Without waiting for the old dean to respond, Zhang Yuanqing turned his head to look at Guohe Zuo and Ren Junzi, "You two are responsible for keeping an eye on the dean."

The pressure immediately fell on the dean.

"Yes!" The dean nodded, raised the small brown horn in his hand, and under the gaze of everyone, said solemnly:

"I didn't kill Xia Zhaoxue, her death has nothing to do with me."

The small brown horn is old and simple, not shining.

10:30am.

coffee shop.

Zhang Yuanqing took a sip of coffee and looked out the window at the flower garden. The sun was shining brightly, the flowers were delicate and beautiful, colorful butterflies were dancing among the flowers, and bees were working day after day.

He pressed the earphones in his ears, "From now on, any discussion must use earphones, everyone remember."

Opposite him is the handsome Xiahou Aotian.

The next table on the left is Zhao Chenghuang and Sun Miaomiao, and the next table on the right is Tianxiaguihuo and Hongjige.

Six people, three groups.

Because of the dean's rule, two people must be in a team. Zhang Yuanqing weighed the pros and cons, and felt that if there must be one more person, Brother Hongji is the most reassuring.

"understand!"

Replies from the other four people came from the earphones.

"The situation is not very optimistic. There is something wrong with Xia Zhaoxue's death. I suspect that the murderer is after us." Zhang Yuanqing said.

"Preliminary suspicion, it's the dean." Zhao Chenghuang's voice sounded through the earphones, "Downstairs in the girls' dormitory, the question he asked Yuanshi Tianzun has already revealed his identity."

"You mean to say that the dean is a man in armor?" Tianxia Guihuo hit the nail on the head.

Xia Zhaoxue's death was untimely and unreasonable, and everyone felt it was unreasonable.

But after the dean asked that question, the underground palace team reacted.

They knew that the armored man was not Yuanshi Tianzun, and they also knew that the armored man was coveting the treasure behind Shimen.

Zhao Chenghuang nodded silently.

"I don't think so."

It was Xiahou Aotian who spoke, this alchemist with serious personality flaws, stirred the coffee, and came up with his own reasons:

"First of all, how did the armored man know that the stone gate was opened? He has been watching at the bottom of the lake? If so, then there is no need for him to kill Xia Chaoxue, he can just come directly to us.

"Secondly, it is unreasonable for the dean to kill Xia Zhaoxue. He is the dean appointed by Hundred Flowers Society. If he finds out that the stone gate has been opened, he should directly report it to the headquarters.

"We are all decent people with names and surnames. It shouldn't be too easy for the headquarters to ask us to investigate afterwards. Could it be that we are wanted criminals because of this?"

Sun Miaomiao agreed, "The dean killed Xia Zhaoxue, just to find out who broke into the underground palace? This reason cannot be justified."

Xia Zhaoxue is an official sage, and was arranged to train at Qinfeng Academy, which shows that the branch intends to promote her to be a deacon.

Killing the deacon, even if there is a big reason.

Zhao Chenghuang and Tianxia Guihuo frowned, and the incident became more and more confusing.

"Yuanshi, what do you think?" Sun Miaomiao looked at her with big watery eyes.

Zhang Yuanqing changed his words, and his thoughts flickered: "At first, I also thought that the dean was a man in armor, but Miaomiao's words dispelled my doubts, and her analysis was correct."

Sun Miaomiao chuckled, showing two small canine teeth proudly.

In fact, Zhang Yuan thought of this early on.

The reason why he said this was to take the opportunity to let Sun Miaomiao feel his preference.

"I've seen an armored person. He (she) is probably a student. That night I watched him clumsily search the stone gate. It didn't look like he stepped on it. If the dean is an armored person, he has been in the academy for so many years. , have you stepped on it?"

Zhang Yuanqing's voice rang in everyone's ears, "Before the action last night, I said that the mermaids, the teachers of the academy, and the giant tigers on the island are all guardians of hidden missions. How could the dean not know the location of Shimen?" .”

Tianxia Guihuo took a sip of coffee, looked around the empty cafe, stopped for a while at the clerk behind the counter, and looked away:

"There are three forces in the academy. One is the guardian of the hidden mission, one is the armored man, and the other is us. The armored man discovered that the stone gate was opened, so he killed people and caused trouble, hoping to find us.

"It is logically reasonable, but in this way, we have to face four doubts: [-]. Why is Xia Zhaoxue the one who died; [-]. Why did the dean ask this question? [-]. Which power is the armored man? [-]. The armored person How do people know that the stone gate was opened.

"The last question is the most important. If I don't check it out, I won't feel at ease. I always feel that I am being monitored at all times."

One thing is for sure, the armored man doesn't know who entered the stone gate, but this contradicts his killing behavior this morning, because we guess the motive of killing is to create trouble and find the person who entered the stone gate.
Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a few seconds, then got up and said:
"I'm going to the bathroom."

He passed coffee tables one by one, entered the toilet, locked the door, closed the toilet seat, sat down, closed his eyes, and visualized his father's appearance in his mind.

After a while, my brain was boiling, various meaningless noises roared in my ears, and broken and chaotic images flashed one by one.

This time, the chaotic state lasted for a long, long time, and it didn't stop until Zhang Yuanqing had blood dripping from his nose and broke out in cold sweat from the pain.

The first thing that came to mind was the image of him leaving the dormitory for the first time and diving into the Yuren Lake.

He went straight back to four days ago.

The pictures flashed one by one, and soon, he saw the armored man who appeared that night.

"Seeing" myself hidden under the protruding cliff.

Just like that night, the armored man wandered around the bottom of Hundred Beasts Island looking for it. Because the stone gate is very conspicuous, he found it quickly.

The armored man stopped in front of the stone gate, staring at the round hole carved with the black bird pattern.

Zhang Yuanqing still remembers this scene.

Next, he thought to himself when he was discovered by the merman.

In the next second, a group of mermen swung their fish tails and quickly approached.

At this time, he saw the armored man reach out his hand, wipe lightly on the round hole, and then turned around to look at the shark.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing saw his palms slightly closed through the flowing images frame by frame, and there seemed to be something between them.

In the next scene, the armored man escaped from the mermen's pursuit.

"hiss"

Zhang Yuanqing pressed his forehead, bearing severe pain like a split brain.

He sat on the toilet seat with his head down, blood dripping from his nose.

After a long time, the headache subsided, and he, who was sweating profusely, wiped the blood from his nose casually, and leaned against the toilet as if collapsed.

"It turned out to be like this. It should be a material invisible to the naked eye. He wiped it on the 'keyhole'. The armored man analyzed that the stone door was opened through the damage of the traces.
"He didn't know who it was, so he killed Xia Zhaoxue?"

"He sneaked into the Yuren Lake that night, not just to step on the spot, he is a cunning enemy. But there is a problem. The armored man seems to know that someone can open the stone gate, which is impossible.

"He discovered it as soon as we came out, which means that he would dive into the bottom of the lake every night to check for traces."

Zhang Yuanqing took out the roll of paper, wiped off the blood on the ground, and flushed them into the sewer.

Pushing open the door of the cubicle, washed his face, walked out of the bathroom, and returned to the coffee table.

"Why have you been here for so long?" Seeing him coming back, Sun Miaomiao complained, "Are you constipated?"
