"Is there any need to think about it? It must have been that kid who did it!"

"That kid is a bad guy. He has been unfilial since he was young. He only caused trouble for his family. He was even captured by the Qianyan Army and imprisoned for several years."

"I heard that the brat asked Master Lin for money, but Master Lin was unwilling to give it to him. In a rage, the brat set fire to the house and then ran away."

This is what Ye Luo and his group heard from the local residents about the seventh person.

It is generally recognized that the seventh person who escaped death was the youngest son of the businessman Mr. Lin. He was spoiled since childhood and developed many bad habits.

Not only was he arrogant and extravagant, he was also uneducated and wasteful, and he kept a bunch of bad friends outside. He was rarely seen, and when he came home he would always ask for money.

A few years ago, he was arrested by the Qianyan Army and imprisoned for several years for gang fighting, smashing shops, and intentionally injuring people.

After he was released, he could no longer contact his bad friends, he didn't understand the family business and found it difficult to take over, and he couldn't find a job.

He had no choice but to continue to rely on his parents. He even came back a few days ago just to ask for money. The residents nearby all heard the commotion in the Lin family's house.

When Ye Luo heard this, he asked, "When did you hear them quarreling? How long was it between that time and the fire?"

The locals thought about it and finally gave the closest answer.

"One day and one night." Ye Luo fell into deep thought.

Walnut asked hurriedly: "Any ideas?"

Ye Luo said: "I think that we should rely on evidence for everything. We can't conclude that the youngest son is the most likely suspect just because he is rumored to be the suspect."

"For example, one day and one night, why is this time this time?"

Hu Tao was very confused: "What kind of question is this? One day and one night is just one day and one night. Assuming that the youngest son is really the murderer, then after he quarreled with his father, he would have taken the time to prepare the means of arson. It would also take time."

Ye Luo said: "That's true, but you have also heard about the temper of the youngest son. Does he have the heart to control his temper, or does he have the brain to plot such a big thing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately began to reflect.

According to the local people, the merchant's youngest son is a useless piece of shit who can't do anything, doesn't leave any leftovers after eating, can't learn anything, and always kicks the quilt when he sleeps. He really doesn't look like someone who can plot such a big thing.

Ye Luo always felt that he couldn't trust just a few words, so he walked a long way and asked many local residents, piecing together the basic information about this person from them.

The result was a bit surprising. Everyone thought that the murderer must be the youngest son, and no one had any good feelings towards him.

The waiter Lao Meng said: "Young Master Ye Luo, we have asked enough people, and everyone's opinions are exactly the same, there is no difference, you see..."

Ye Luo sighed: "Yeah, looking at it this way, it seems that the conclusion has been made, there is no suspense."

"I don't mean to defend this person whom I have never met, but I always feel that things are not that simple and there is something fishy going on."

Hu Tao held Ye Luo's arm and said, "It's okay. I believe your guess. If you think this matter is not that simple, I will stay here and continue investigating with you."

"Anyway, we have come all the way to Wuwangpo. We can't just pretend we didn't see anything like this and leave without a clear conscience."

Looking at Hu Tao's cheerful smile, Ye Luo sighed helplessly: "Master Hu, thank you for your trust."

"What are you talking about? We are good brothers, why are you being so polite to me?"

"Then let's go back and investigate. Lao Meng, it looks like things here won't be over for a while, but the Wangsheng Hall can't be left unattended. I can only ask you to go back and look after the store."

"Well...Okay, Hall Master Hu, Mr. Zhongli, and everyone else, please be careful when you are away from home."

"Farewell!"

Ye Luo and his group said goodbye to Lao Meng respectfully. Lao Meng, alone, got on the carriage they came in and returned the same way.

At the same time, on the high slope north of "Wuwangpo".

A young man in a white robe, a bamboo hat, with a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, was looking at them from afar.

The boy had a Thunder Elemental God's Eye hanging around his waist and a piece of snapdragon in his mouth.

"Stolas, I never thought that you would meet me here again."

"Morax is here too. We have so many friends today."

After muttering a few words to himself, the boy turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared in an instant.

Ye Luo and his group arrived at the Qianyan Army’s base and met Zhang Cheng again.

Zhang Cheng specially sent someone to prepare a banquet to entertain them. The others were happy to relax, but Ye Luo was still feeling uneasy.

Zhongli saw his worry and pushed a cup of tea in front of him: "This tea is really good. The good thing is that the tea leaves are floating on the surface, but this cup of tea is still as calm as still water."

Ye Luo looked at Zhongli in astonishment: "Mr. Zhongli?"

Zhongli nodded: "Some unresolved matters, as long as you look more discerning, you will find that everything is not as calm as it seems. If you observe carefully, you can still see through it."

Ye Luo was obviously encouraged. He ate his meal in peace and asked Zhang Cheng at the table, "Where are the bodies now?"

Zhang Cheng replied: "They are all placed in a room specially designed for storing corpses. The air there is thin and the temperature is extremely low, which can well preserve the integrity of the corpses."

Ye Luo nodded: "I want to take another look later, is that ok?"

Zhang Cheng responded: "Of course, as long as Young Master Ye Luo needs it, we will definitely cooperate. But... Young Master Ye Luo cares so much about this matter, which makes me really confused."

Ye Luo said: "As a bystander, I just want to know the truth, nothing else."

Zhang Cheng did not ask any more questions: "I will send someone to prepare it now."

Ye Luo thanked him: "Then thank you Captain Zhang Cheng for your help."

Before Zhang Cheng could call people over, several Qianyan soldiers ran in and said in a panic, "Captain, a man just broke in and insisted on seeing Young Master Ye Luo."

Zhang Cheng stood up immediately: "Who? Didn't you say that Young Master Ye Luo was resting and not seeing anyone for the time being?"

The Qianyan soldiers said, "We did, but the man was not a local resident and had some skills, so our brothers couldn't stop him."

"It's just... he didn't do anything disruptive. He just stood at the door and waited, and didn't let us get close. He just said he wanted to see Young Master Ye Luo."

Ye Luo sighed lightly, stood up and left: "I'll go take a look..."
