Chapter 351 Conspiracy Revealed

Zhao Ci took out a backpack and placed the documents one by one in front of me, "I checked Sun Qing's call records. He's been in frequent contact with Chang Jiuzhen recently. The longest call lasted two hours."

I gently tapped the documents. "During this time, Sun Qing only contacted Chang Jiuzhen?"

"No!" Zhao Ci shook his head. "Sun Qing's phone had contact with many people, but the calls were short. Sometimes only a few seconds."

"I suspect Sun Qing is contacting the same person, but I can't track the other party's location."

Zhao Ci pointed to the documents on the table and said, "I investigated Sun Qing's family background. It's flawless. You could say that for three generations, his family has had no contact with the arts."

"Moreover, I found something very interesting. The Sun family is extremely repulsed by anything related to the arts. They even go so far as not to visit graves during festivals. What do you think is the reason for this?"

"Trying to cover something up?" Zhao Yuezhu answered subconsciously, "Are they trying to hide their identity as a family of术士 (shushi, practitioners of esoteric arts)?"

I shook my head. "I don't think so."

I immediately added, "But, I can't quite put my finger on what the problem is."

I asked back, "Do you have the information on the missing people?"

"It's all here!" Zhao Ci took the documents over.

I looked through them one by one, and Zhao Ci explained, "There are two groups of missing people in total. Both groups have common characteristics."

"The first characteristic is that they are all related to art. Some are painters, some can mix dyes, and some are professors of art. These are all people Sun Qing visited."

"The second group are all students. They seem to have no connection, but in reality, their common ground is even more obvious. Regardless of gender, their skin is very good. And, their height and build are similar."

I turned to look at Zhao Yuezhu. Zhao Yuezhu's skin was very fair, and the skin on her face was so tender it looked like you could pinch water out of it. Plus her height of about 1.7 meters, she was very similar to the missing people.

Zhao Yuezhu's face paled. "That Sun Qing wouldn't be..."

"No!" I shook my head again. "You were with him for several days. If he wanted to kill you, you would already be dead."

I pushed the documents in front of Zhao Ci. "Mr. Zhao, I'll say it again. What is so special about Zhao丫头 (丫头, ya tou, girl)?"

Zhao Ci's face darkened slightly. "I've told you everything you need to know. Why do you keep harping on Yuezhu?"

My face also darkened unconsciously. "Because Zhao丫头 (ya tou, girl) is in danger!"

Before he could speak, I explained, "Your deductions are all based on the premise that the Yin Si (underworld) secret order was leaked. But, have you considered that the Yin Si (underworld) secret order was not leaked at all?"

I pointed to the documents. "According to the timeline in your information, Sun Qing started planning the murders three months ago. Would the Yin Si (underworld) secret order be leaked three months in advance? That reason is not logical."

"This..." As a Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren, Zhao Ci also knew that the Yin Si (underworld) secret order was highly random, especially the shorter the time the earth soul was lost, the stronger the randomness.

Moreover, there were hundreds of Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren. The Yin Si (underworld)'s issuance of secret orders might not fall directly into my hands.

I continued, "The second point is more important. My Liangjie Hall is a place to do business. If Sun Qing wanted to drag me into the water, wouldn't he come directly to me? Why did he have to bring Zhao Yuezhu along?"

"Also, if someone is targeting me this time, wouldn't it be better for Sun Qing to stay by my side and continue to create a smokescreen than for him to leave in a huff?"

I paused. "Moreover, the reason Sun Qing left is also very strange! The reason he gave me was that he had no money. Would an evil术士 (shushi, practitioner of esoteric arts) really be short of money if he wanted to get it?"

True术士 (shushi, practitioners of esoteric arts) are people who walk between black and white. We ignore certain rules of the world, but we dare not violate the iron laws of Heaven.

术士 (shushi, practitioners of esoteric arts) can only make money through business is one of the iron laws. Otherwise, it would be too easy for术士 (shushi, practitioners of esoteric arts) to get money. Not to mention others, just me. If I walked around a bank with my Ghost Eye Art, the bank's money would be mine.

术士 (shushi, practitioners of esoteric arts) don't have the saying that "starving to death is a small matter, losing integrity is a big matter." Without the restrictions of the iron laws of Heaven, everyone could become a billionaire.

However, no matter how strict the law is, there are always people who dare to take the risk. Evil术士 (shushi, practitioners of esoteric arts) are a group of people who dare to risk their lives. They want to enjoy themselves in time, and they don't care whether Heaven will punish them or not? They just want to have enough fun before they die.

If the missing people are all related to Sun Qing, then that's enough to prove that he is an evil术士 (shushi, practitioner of esoteric arts).

Looking at it this way, the reason for Sun Qing's departure is too far-fetched.

I stared at Zhao Ci without blinking. "Do you still think that Sun Qing's search for Zhao丫头 (ya tou, girl) was because of me?"

Zhao Ci shook his head again. "I still don't quite believe your statement."

I hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then I'll give you another reason that's enough to convince you. But, I hope you can keep this reason to yourself."
