Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Ji Xianchen glanced at the three clan leaders present and did not deny: "Qi Ce is indeed with me, but I am also investigating. Qi Ce is not the murderer. Someone else must have arrested those young men."

Song Guwei said on the surface: "What do you mean? He admitted it himself, how could he be wrong?"

In my heart: How dare you! You dare to question the boss's words! If the boss says it's Qi Ce, then it can't be false!

Ji Xianchen said calmly: "Given the situation at that time, it doesn't matter whether he admitted it or not. You have already determined that he is the murderer."

Song Guwei was speechless for a moment. Qi Man frowned slightly and said, "Master Xuan, you said that the murderer is someone else. Do you have any evidence?"

Qi Man certainly hopes that Qi Ce is not the murderer. If he is really wronged, she must clear his name.

Ji Xianchen: "No, I'm still investigating, but I found a suspicious point."

Qi Man: "You say."

Ji Xianchen: "The missing people are all between the ages of fifteen and twenty. If Qi Ce wanted to arrest people for poison testing, why did he only pick people in this age group?"

Qi Man nodded thoughtfully: "It is indeed suspicious."

Song Guwei retorted: "Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Li Qingchi's eyes flashed in a corner where no one was paying attention.

"Whether it's a coincidence or not, just ask him and you'll know." Ji Xianchen turned around and told the guard, "Please bring him over."

After a while, Qi Ce was brought over.

He first glared at the man who went back on his word, then looked at the three clan leaders and sneered, "Why, do you still want to kill me?"

Song Guwei said sternly: "You have killed so many people, it is not too much to die a hundred times!"

Qi Ce looked at Song Guwei and said coldly: "Don't put the extra people on me. I only recognize the one in the secret room."

"You!" Song Guwei pointed at Qi Ce with trembling fingers, his anger almost overflowing from his eyes.

Just as the atmosphere was tense, Qi Man said, "Master Xuan said you are not the murderer. What do you want to say?"

Qi Ce's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was calm: "I didn't catch that person, so he has nothing to do with me."

Song Guwei shouted, "You are still quibbling! If you didn't catch him, how could my people appear in your place?!"

Qi Ce: "I picked him up on the road. He was in very poor health at the time. Even if I didn't take him back to test for poison, he wouldn't have lived long."

Ji Xianchen glanced at Li Qingchi's expressionless face and asked Qi Ce, "Is he seriously injured?"

"No, he's not injured." Qi Ce recalled carefully, "He has obvious ischemia reaction, and there are needle holes on his body. It should be that his body is extremely weak due to long-term blood extraction."

Hearing this, Song Guwei sneered disapprovingly: "It's just nonsense, who would draw his blood?"

Ji Xianchen: "Patriarch Song, don't you understand? Those missing people were probably captured and had their blood drawn like him, but he was the only one who escaped. It was just unfortunate that he met Qi Ce."

Song Guwei said firmly: "I don't believe it, this must be a lie you two made up to deceive me!"

How could the boss lie to him? The murderer is Qi Ce!

Ji Xianchen turned to Qi Man and asked, "Chief Qi, what do you think?"

Qi Man's expression was solemn and she fell into deep thought.

After a while, she slowly spoke: "This matter is indeed full of doubts, and I can't easily draw conclusions."

"Where is Chief Li?" Ji Xianchen's gaze fell on Li Qingchi.

Li Qingchi said calmly: "If what Qi Ce said is true, then there are indeed many strange things about this matter. But everything is just speculation at the moment, we need more definite evidence."

It was rare for Song Guwei to stand on Li Qingchi's side. "That's right, there is no evidence. Everything you said is bullshit!"

Li Qingchi continued, "My Li family will investigate this matter thoroughly, so I won't bother Master Xuan anymore. Someone, take Qi Ce away."

When Song Guwei heard this, he quickly stopped him: "No!"

Li Qingchi frowned, "Do you have any other opinions?"

Song Guwei: "I can't leave Qi Ce to you. Who knows if you will do something secretly? Qi Ce must come with me."

Li Qingchi responded bluntly: "Whatever you can find out, give it to my Li family, so that we can find out the truth as quickly as possible."

His words hinted at the decline of the Song family.

Song Guwei got angry all of a sudden, and slammed his cane on the ground heavily, "Don't look down on my Song family. No matter how poor my Song family is, it's not your turn to say irresponsible things about it!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Qi Man hurriedly persuaded them: "Enough, stop arguing. I think we should let Qi Ce continue to stay in Xuan Palace, investigate together, and supervise each other. That should be fine, right?"

Li Qingchi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do as Chief Qi said."

Although Song Guwei was unwilling, he couldn't find a better reason to object at this time. He could only snort coldly and turn his head away.

Seeing that the two had calmed down, Qi Man said to Ji Xianchen, "Then I'll trouble you, Master Xuan. Before the facts are clarified, I'll ask you to take care of Qi Ce."

Ji Xianchen nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Patriarch Qi, I will ensure his safety in Xuan Palace."

This was exactly the result he wanted.

Qi Ce was somewhat stunned by this outcome.

She really got it right.

He was fine and was not taken away.

A few minutes ago, Qi Ce met Hua Chaochao.

Hua Chaochao told him not to resist, to answer whatever he was asked and tell the truth, and then he would be fine.

Qi Ce couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Who is she to be so predictable?
