Spirit Realm Walker

Chapter 438 Cunning Enemy

Fuck. Zhang Yuanqing cursed in his heart.

At this time, within the sea of ​​consciousness, a soft and warm halo of light danced slowly.

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

The principle of the lie detector tool is actually very simple. First, it observes you to see whether you are lying through mental fluctuations, micro-expressions, breathing, pores, and even adrenaline secretion.

Second, 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 representative ability of the latter is the Tiger Talisman that Zhang Yuanqing has come into contact with before.

The lie detection tool in front of me belongs to the first type, but it is different from the insight technique. It enters the sea of ​​consciousness and observes the spirit body.

Therefore, this situation cannot be passed on to Xiaodoubi. Only the second type of mental control ability can be passed on.

In essence, that halo of light is not doing anything to you, it is just observing you.

Zhang Yuanqing now had to face a problem. He avoided the dean's question, but his flaws would be revealed by the insight technique.

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

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

Just as thoughts were racing through his mind, a cold voice came:

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

Zhao Chenghuang spoke.

This second-generation soul of Taiyi Sect, with an extremely cold expression and tone, took the small horn from Zhang Yuanqing's hand and said:

"I didn't kill Xia Chaoxue, and her death had nothing to do with me."

The students and teachers immediately looked at the little brown corner.

It is dark and quaint, without any change.

It was not Yuanshi Tianzun, nor Zhao Chenghuang. Everyone present looked at Yuan Ting and the starry sky observer, their eyes full of unknown vigilance.

Zhao Chenghuang still held the little brown horn and said:

"Dean, Yuanshi Tianzun has proven his innocence, why do you still ask him if he was in the dormitory all night? Do you have any new clues?

"The students present are all front-line workers. In terms of their ability to solve and investigate cases, the teachers at the academy are not as good as us. If you have clues, please don't hide it and tell us."

He stared at the dean with cold and calm eyes.

Well done! ! !

Zhang Yuanqing praised in his heart.

He admits that he is indeed the most handsome boy in 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 generalized an army.

If the dean is a man in armor, he will definitely not be able to give a reason, and if he keeps asking questions repeatedly, there must be something wrong.

Official saints are not fools.

The dean frowned, shook his head and said:

"I got the same information as everyone else,"

Zhao Chenghuang nodded expressionlessly and handed the small brown horn to Yuan Ting beside him.

The students' eyes suddenly became sharp and they stared at him.

"I didn't kill Xia Chaoxue. Her death had 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 started to talk out of habit: "Xia Chaoxue and I are not familiar at all, and there is no gossip about her. Well, I'm not saying that I like gossip, it's just..."

The small brown horn in his hand suddenly glowed bright and pure.

Everyone who had been disappointed just now suddenly looked over, their eyes sharp, as if they were seeing a heinous criminal.

The dean shouted:

"Yuan Ting, stand where you are, stand where you are and don't move."

As he spoke, he summoned a three-foot-long sword.

The students and teachers quickly retreated and assumed a posture to meet the enemy.

Yuan Ting held the small brown horn and was a little at a loss.

The dean shouted:

"Did you kill Xia Chaoxue? Answer me!"

"no!"

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

"Not familiar!"

Everyone looked at the little brown horn again, but still had no reaction.

Um? The reason why the little corner glowed just now is

In the crowd, Zhang Yuanqing said angrily: "Do you like gossip?"

"dislike."

The small brown horn gave off a dazzling light.

The scene suddenly fell into silence.

Yuan Ting was a little embarrassed.

Everyone was also embarrassed.

The dean did not expect this result. He was stunned for a long time, then changed the subject without changing his expression and said: "Next."

Zhang Yuanqing took advantage of the situation and said:

"Dean, don't ask irrelevant questions, and fellow students, don't say irrelevant words."

Yuan Ting took a long breath and threw the lie detector tool to the starry sky observer not far away.

"I didn't kill Xia Chaoxue, and her death had nothing to do with me." The starry sky observer said calmly.

The little brown horn is unresponsive.

Seeing this, the crowd burst into uproar again.

Isn't the murderer Xingguan?

"If he is not a star official, he is using props to commit crimes." Lin Su, the alchemy teacher of the Qing Leng Forest Department, said:

"Everyone can be a murderer, including girls."

"How do girls have sex with Xia Chaoxue?" A female student asked.

Lin Su, who has a cool temperament, said:

"We didn't find male bodily fluids from Xia Chaoxue at all, right?"

Everyone fell into deep thought.

If bodily fluids are found, my red dancing shoes will directly identify the murderer, so why bother? Zhang Yuanqing said heartily.

Next, under the witness of the dean, everyone underwent a round of polygraph testing.

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

Everyone passed the lie detector and clairvoyance tests.

This means that the murderer has special hidden abilities, and lie detection and insight are ineffective.

Such a result undoubtedly deepened the suspicion and panic among the students, and there was quietly more vigilance and distrust in each other's eyes.

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

"Everyone immediately went to the library and wrote down everything they did from last night to this morning. From now on, they will work in pairs and cannot stay three meters away from each other when eating, sleeping, including going to the toilet, until the real murderer is found. , or the training period is over.”

Today is the fourth day of entering Qin Feng Academy, and there are still three days until the training ends.

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

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

Without waiting for the old dean to respond, Zhang Yuanqing turned to look at Crossing the River Soldier and Ren Junzi, "You two are responsible for keeping an eye on the dean."

The pressure immediately fell on the dean.

"Okay!" The dean nodded, raised the small brown horn in his hand, and said in a deep voice under the gaze of everyone:

"I didn't kill Xia Chaoxue, and her death had nothing to do with me."

The small brown corner is old and simple and does not shine.

Half past ten in the morning.

cafes.

Zhang Yuanqing took a sip of coffee and looked out the window at the flower garden. The sun was shining brightly, the flowers were beautiful, 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 remembers this."

Opposite him was Xia Hou Aotian with handsome features.

The next table on the left is Zhao Chenghuang and Sun Miaomiao, and the next table on the right is Tianxia Guihuo and Hong Ji Ge.

Six people, three groups.

Because of the dean's rule, two people must work in groups. Zhang Yuanqing weighed the pros and cons and felt that if there was one more person, Brother Red Rooster would be the most reassuring.

"clear!"

Replies from the other four people came through the earphones.

"The situation is not optimistic. There is something wrong with Xia Chaoxue's death. I suspect the murderer came for us." Zhang Yuanqing said.

"Initial suspicion is that it's the dean." Zhao Chenghuang's voice sounded in the earphones, "Downstairs in the girls' dormitory, the question he asked Yuanshi Tianzun has exposed his identity."

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

Xia Chaoxue'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 the stone gate.

Zhao Chenghuang nodded silently.

"I don't think it's right."

The speaker was Xiahou Aotian, a sorcerer with serious character flaws. He stirred the coffee and came up with his own reasons:

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

"Secondly, it is unreasonable for the dean to kill Xia Chaoxue. He is the dean appointed by Baihua Club. If he finds that the stone door has been opened, he will report it directly to the headquarters.

"We are all decent people with names. It would be easy for the headquarters to ask us to investigate afterwards. Is it possible that we are wanted criminals because of this?"

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

Xia Chaoxue is an official saint and was arranged to train at Qin Feng Academy, indicating that her branch intends to promote her to be a deacon.

Killing the butler would not work even if there was a huge 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 spoke up, and his thoughts flashed: "At first, I also thought that the dean was the armored person, but Miaomiao's words made me dispel my doubts. Her analysis is correct."

Sun Miaomiao smiled and proudly showed two small tiger teeth.

In fact, Zhang Yuanqing had thought of this a long time ago.

The reason why I say this is to take the opportunity to let Sun Miaomiao feel preference.

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

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

Tianxiaguihuo took a sip of coffee, looked around the empty cafe, paused briefly at the clerk working behind the counter, and looked back:

"There are three parties in the academy. One is the guardian of the hidden mission, one is the armored people, and the other is us. The armored people found out that the stone door was opened, so they killed people and caused trouble, hoping to find us.

"It is logically reasonable, but in this case, we have to face four doubts: First, why is Xia Chaoxue the one who died; second, why is the dean asking this question. Third, which force does the armored person belong to? Fourth: Armor How do people know that the stone door is opened?

"The last question is the most important. If I don't find out clearly, I won't feel at ease. I always feel like I'm being monitored at all times."

One thing is for sure, the armored man does not know who entered the stone gate, but this conflicts with his murder this morning, because our guessed motive for the murder was to create trouble and find the person who entered the stone gate.

Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a few seconds, then his heart moved, he stood up and said:

"I'm going to the bathroom."

He passed the coffee tables, entered the bathroom, 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, all kinds of meaningless noises roared in my ears, and broken and chaotic pictures flashed one by one.

This time, the chaotic state lasted for a long time, and it didn't stop until Zhang Yuanqing's nose was filled with blood and he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

The first thing that came to mind was the scene of him leaving the dormitory for the first time and sneaking into the Shark Lake.

He went directly back to four days ago.

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

"See" myself hidden under the protruding cliff.

Just like that night, the armored man swam under the Beast Island looking for it. Because the stone gate was very conspicuous, he found it quickly.

The armored man stopped in front of the stone door and stared at the round hole carved with a black bird pattern.

Zhang Yuanqing still remembers this scene.

The next step is to be discovered by the shark, he thought.

The next second, a group of sharks swung their fish tails and swam quickly towards them.

It was at this time that he saw the armored man reach out his hand and lightly touch the round hole, then turned around and looked at the shark.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing saw his palms slightly closed, as if he was holding something in his palms.

The next scene shows the armored man escaping from the shark's pursuit.

"hiss"

Zhang Yuanqing held his forehead and endured the severe pain that felt like his brain was splitting.

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

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

"So that's it. It should be a kind of material, invisible to the naked eye. He smeared it on the 'keyhole'. The armored man analyzed the traces of damage and found that the stone door had been opened.

"He didn't know who it was, so he killed Xia Chaoxue?"

"He sneaked into Sharman Lake that night not just to step in, he was a cunning enemy. But there is a problem. The armored man seems to know that someone can open the stone door. This is impossible.

"He discovered it right after we came out, which means he dives to the bottom of the lake every night to check for traces."

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

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

"Why have you been gone for so long?" When Sun Miaomiao saw him coming back, she complained, "Are you constipated?"
