Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

"Ok?"

As soon as Cao Geng said this, everyone's eyes turned to Zheng Xiao.

What was the meaning of Cao Geng's words? Did he suspect Zheng Xiao was the mastermind? This is hard to believe, right?

Zheng Xiao's reaction was exactly as everyone expected.

"Ok?"

Facing Cao Geng's questioning, Zheng Xiao was stunned: "Brother Geng, what do you mean?"

Cao Geng said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, why do you want to take their lives?"

"Ok?"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

How is it possible that Cao Geng really suspected Zheng Yi?

Zheng's heart was beating fast.

Life is like a play, and now is the time to show your acting skills.

If this play goes wrong, I might lose my life.

Zheng Xiao showed a look of astonishment.

He asked back: "Brother Geng, do you doubt me? You actually doubt me?"

This acting is first-rate!

Even Cao Geng was almost fooled. After all, Zheng Xiao's reaction was indeed extremely innocent.

Cao Geng said: "Zheng Xiao, I don't want to doubt you, but the facts force me to doubt you. I have carefully examined the injuries on the necks of the two victims.

Their cause of death was strangulation and stabbing in the neck, and the two knife wounds on the back were just a cover-up.

"In this world, apart from me, Duan Peng and Lu Zhaowu, only you can do this kind of cruel method. Duan Peng is always by my side, and Lu Zhaowu never leaves the brigade commander's side. Apart from you, who else can do this?"

Yes, in this place, except for the four of them, no one else has the ability to take someone's life in an instant.

Zheng Xiao pointed to his throat and said, "Brother Geng, based on this alone, you doubt me? I also have proof of my alibi. Cao Fu and the other three can testify for me."

Yup!

Everyone thought so.

Cao Geng retorted, "No, your alibi was forged by you. Cao Fu and the other three never wore the time magic device. You deliberately looked at it when you took them to drink and mentioned the time of half past ten.

They had no idea what time it was. Normally, no one would reveal the time without being asked...

So, this was carefully planned by you, and you were manipulating the flow of time. During this period of time that you manipulated, you did have the opportunity to carry out that mysterious action. Am I right?"

A grunt sounded...

Everyone was confused.

Is this kind of thing even possible?

Cao Geng, isn't he a simple spirit according to the legend? Could such a scheme really come from the hands of a simple person?

If he is a mere elf, then what are we?

This kind of reasoning is too cunning.

Zheng Xiao suddenly panicked and retorted loudly: "Just because of this? This is just your guess, the truth is far from that. Why do you doubt me? How could I kill them?"

That’s right, Zheng Xiao had no motive to kill!

Everyone looked at Cao Geng with confused eyes.

Zheng Yi could be said to be Cao Geng's most trusted partner. How could Cao Geng suspect him for no reason?

This is unreasonable!

Yes, why did Cao Geng suddenly suspect him?

The answer is actually simple, because Cao Geng is a time mage.

In his previous life, in order to protect the secrets of the kingdom, he cleverly concealed the identity of the murderer and used more complicated tricks.

It can be said that Zheng Yi's tricks at this moment had already been seen through by Cao Geng.

Cao Geng stared at Zheng Xiao with sharp eyes and said, "In fact, I also hope it's not you. But you have the time, the motive, and all the conditions to kill them. So, here, no one will do it except you."

Did Zheng Xiao have a motive to kill? How come we know nothing about it?

Everyone was confused again, including the brigade commander.

Zheng Xiao stiffened his neck and retorted: "Brother Geng, what are you talking about? I, Zheng Xiao, only hunt demons and never harm my own kind. Tell me, what reason do I have to kill them?"

"photo."

Cao Geng answered without hesitation: "Da Han and Cao Pang are both video recorders. You approached them, wasn't it to retrieve your video?

In the past, you would look for me even if I was not there for a moment. But today you said you were not feeling well and wanted to go back to rest. I promised to let you rest, but did you really rest?

After you came back, the people you met were all those who recorded the images. Is this a coincidence? Fortunately, Cao Pang had handed in the photos and no longer had them. Otherwise, you would have attacked them in order to get those photos back. Am I right? "

This Cao Geng is just like a wizard with the power of foresight. How can he know everything?

Zheng Xiao felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.

At this moment, he could only use his last trick - pretending to be crazy and stupid.

"Brother Geng, why do you doubt me? This is just your speculation. It can't prove that I am the murderer. I would kill them just for a photo?

Don't you think the motivation you gave is ridiculous? Ask yourself, ask them, who here, besides you, has hunted more demons than me?

What reason do you have to doubt me? What reason do you have to doubt that I would harm my compatriots? Just because of a photo? You are a stupid wizard, I misjudged you. Brigadier, I request to retire, I quit. What happened today makes me feel like a knife in my heart. "

As Zheng Xiao spoke, tears began to fall.

This acting is really superb...

Even Cao Geng began to question whether his insight was wrong.

Indeed, Zheng Yi had to deal with too many alien races, and Cao Geng could not even imagine that he might be a member of the enemy camp.

It is indeed hard to believe that he took the Image Rune Stone because he was afraid of soul absorption.

If Cao Geng dared to suspect that he was a foreigner, then all logic would make sense.

However, this person slaughtered hundreds or even thousands of aliens. Who would dare to suspect that he was from the enemy camp?

The soldiers looked at Zheng Xiao with sympathy.

Yes, Cao Geng’s judgments in the past were always accurate, but his behavior today was indeed a bit excessive.

No one can doubt Zheng Xiao! If he had not followed him wholeheartedly, with his achievements, he would not be too much of a battalion commander or even a corps commander.

He has risked his life to accompany her and served her wholeheartedly, but now he is being treated like this. It is really too much.

The brigade commander was mentioned and had to stand up and speak: "Comrade Zheng Xiao, Cao Geng's guess is just speculation and cannot prove that you are the culprit. You have been wronged. Don't mention retirement anymore.

After all, case analysis allows for reasoning and assumptions. You go back and rest first, and I will handle the rest. I will never let you be wronged while I am here."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yi snorted in indignation and turned away.

Yes, he was just talking. At least for now, he couldn't leave the resistance army on this continent.

It was creepy that Cao Geng could easily guess his thoughts and actions.

It was not easy for him to avoid suspicion by using cunning and cleverness.

Cao Geng also felt helpless, perhaps he did not want to deal with Zheng Yi.

Everyone has selfish motives, and he still couldn't bear to kill Zheng Xiao directly.

After Zheng Yi left, the brigade commander stared at Cao Geng, speechless for a moment.

"Look at what you did today, little brat? How could you say that in front of him? Well! I think you are born to be a battalion commander."

Cao Geng responded: "It's okay, Brigade Commander, I'll go dig for the secret treasure. We have found the entrance to the underground secret room. As long as we clean it up, we will find what we are looking for."

The brigade commander was so angry when he saw him change the subject that he yelled, "Get out of here, you little bastard."

Upon hearing this, Cao Geng hurriedly took his men and left.

The brigade commander smiled and shook his head: "What a jerk! If anyone dares to call him a fool next time, I won't be polite."

That’s right, the brigade commander also agreed that Cao Geng’s analysis made sense, and Zheng Yi was most likely the mysterious killer.

However, the brigade commander could not punish Zheng Yi for this reason, and he did not want to do so.

After all, without solid evidence, who would treat a brave warrior who killed foreigners out of suspicion?

"Well, has Zheng Xiao's psychology been affected? Could it be that killing too many enemies has caused psychological trauma?"

The brigade commander shook his head, muttered to himself, and then called out loudly: "Lu Zhaowu!"

Lu Zhaowu rushed over and asked, "Brigade Commander, what instructions do you have?"

The brigade commander ordered: "Investigate thoroughly to see if the deaths of the Hanyong brothers are related to the lurking evil spirits from another world. Make sure to find out."

"As ordered."

Lu Zhaowu immediately straightened up and responded loudly.

At the excavation site of the alien chamber of commerce.

Duan Peng asked in confusion: "Brother Shu, I also find it strange. Why do you doubt Zheng Xi? And why do you speak so bluntly in front of him?"

Cao Geng shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't want to doubt him, but I am sure that 90% of this matter was done by him."

"Ouch?"

Duan Peng was shocked, as he originally thought that Cao Geng could do nothing about Zheng Xi.

At this time, Duan Peng remembered that Cao Geng was good at predicting things. Since Cao Geng said so, there must be a reason.

Duan Peng questioned: "This is impossible, how could this happen?"

Cao Geng replied: "I also think it is impossible, but the facts are before our eyes. This is too strange! Why would he do this? I really can't figure it out."

Cao Geng had a headache, he couldn't figure out the situation no matter how hard he tried. He also didn't believe that Zheng Xi would fall because of a mysterious photo, it was too unbelievable.

Duan Peng jokingly said, "Is it true that Zheng Xi's soul was taken away by a mysterious force?"

Cao Geng was speechless and just said, "Stop talking nonsense and keep working."

Everyone worked together to clear the rubble and dust from the basement entrance.

There is strength in numbers.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a cave entrance that was only wide enough for one person to pass through finally appeared.

Cao Geng was so excited that he shouted loudly: "Stop digging for a while. Flashlight, flashlight, bring it over quickly..."

Immediately, a soldier handed a flashlight to Cao Geng and Duan Peng.

Cao Geng used a flashlight to knock on the unstable bricks and stones at the entrance of the cave to make sure they would not suddenly fall and injure anyone.

Then he carefully entered the cave, and Duan Peng followed closely behind.

There was a long staircase in front of him. Cao Geng used a flashlight to illuminate the front and slowly walked down.

My heartbeat seemed to speed up. Is there some trap hidden inside?

However, it turned out to be just an illusion.

They walked to the bottom of the several-meter-long staircase safely without encountering any traps.

At the end of the stairs was a heavy iron door, a huge iron door with a huge lock on it.

This is the most advanced and sturdy lock available in this era.

Seeing this scene, Cao Geng's heartbeat accelerated again.

There is no doubt that there must be extraordinary treasures hidden behind this iron door.

Smith is right.

This is indeed the secret place where the alien invaders store their gold.

Duan Peng looked at the big lock and his brows immediately frowned.

This lock was like an insurmountable obstacle to him.

"Damn it, Brother Rat, this lock is so big, how do we open it?"

"Look at me, hold the flashlight for me."

Cao Geng handed the flashlight to Duan Peng and took out a thin wire from his pocket.

"Help me light up..."

Cao Geng whispered and inserted the mysterious iron chain into the keyhole. After a strange tremor, the lock opened.

"My goodness, Mouse, you have a miraculous skill! Teach me someday, and when the aliens retreat, I will be able to protect myself."

"What's the point of learning this? Do you want to become a thief who roams the sky? Or do you aspire to become the legendary Daozhi of the century?"

Cao Geng said this as he cautiously opened the rusty door.

The two held up the magic light stones in their hands to illuminate the interior, and were almost blinded by the scene inside.

Gold mines, mountains of gold mines.

Bricks, groups of bricks.

The shiny golden fish are neatly stacked, and there are countless small golden fish next to them.

Oh my god!

This pile of gold is at least ten feet high, and its length and width are self-evident.

The two men roughly estimated that it probably weighed more than a thousand kilograms.

Duan Peng couldn't help but say, "No wonder those alien creatures are willing to protect this place at all costs. It turns out there are such treasures hidden here! Mouse, we have made a fortune."

Cao Geng's heart was also pounding. This treasure ignited his passion more than seeing countless gold coins.

Cao Geng looked around and found that this underground secret room was not very spacious, only the size of an ordinary house.

There is nothing else but gold.

"Come on, let's go up."

Cao Geng led Duan Peng out of the underground treasure house.

"Duan Peng, pass on my instructions and immediately make this place a key guarded area."

"As ordered."

Duan Peng responded excitedly and immediately went to convey the order.

Cao Geng shouted again: "Come quickly! Ask the brigade commander to come over and tell him that we have found treasure. Quick!"

"As ordered."

Two soldiers ran out, responded and rushed to the command post.

They knew that the treasure had appeared and the Eighth Route Army's good luck had arrived.
