Chapter 416: A Heinous Crime [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

What's all this?

Liang Yue even wanted to laugh for a moment. This evening, he first encountered arson, then a rebel escaped from prison, and now he ran into a murder scene.

It feels strangely familiar that people are dying everywhere.

Before he could take a closer look at the scene, he heard hurried footsteps coming from outside. "There was a scream from the prisoner's cell just now. It seemed to be Qi Boqing!"

"Isn't he imprisoned alone?"

"I don't know, go check it out!"

"..."

As he was speaking, a whole team of jailers rushed towards the outside of the cell.

"Not good." Pangolin's face changed. "It seems that we arrived just after the person died. The soldiers came so quickly!"

“Brother Chuan, you go first.” Liang Yue said calmly: “This place is only separated from the outside of the prison by a wall. With your magical powers, if you don’t take us with you, you will soon be…”

He was halfway through his words when he turned his head and saw two small hills piled up behind him, with dust still rising rapidly from underneath.

The pangolin's figure has disappeared underground.

Oops.

Dig quickly.

"Speak slower, Brother Chuan has already arrived in Liangzhou." Chen Ju said.

At this time, a faint shout floated out from underground, "Don't worry, we, the heroes of Bashan, will never abandon our brothers. I will go back and gather all the people to break into the prison and save you!"

Several people just treated his words as nonsense.

If Bashan could easily break into the prison, would you be so anxious to dig the ground and escape?
In just a few words, a large group of jailers surrounded the entire cell, with strong bows and crossbows aimed at everyone. The leading jailer shouted, "Who are you?"

When he looked at the body lying over there again, his eyes suddenly became more ferocious, "Did you kill Qi Boqing? Come here, take down these murderers! If anyone resists, kill them without mercy!"

"Everyone, don't be nervous!" Chen Ju stepped forward and tried to negotiate, "We didn't kill this man. We just accidentally dug the wrong place when we were escaping the prison and happened to see the body."

"You still want to escape from prison?" The prison boss' eyes widened, "We must catch you!"

"We didn't want to escape from prison!" Chen Ju argued loudly, "It was a leader of Bashan named Pangolin who insisted that we escape from prison with him. He has already escaped."

"You are colluding with the Bashan bandits? You covered the Pangolin's escape?" The jailer looked a little shocked. "Wait a minute, this gang of thugs is really powerful. Let's ask the Qi Refiner to set up a formation before we can take them down!"

"How come you don't understand what I'm saying?" Chen Ju was a little angry at him. "Good fellow, you can convict me with just a few words. Even our nine clans are not enough to punish you."

Naturally, there are martial arts masters and Qi cultivators stationed in the prison. At the command, several powerful auras descend in a blink of an eye, and formations are activated, with the Qi locking everyone firmly.

Hu Delu snorted coldly and glanced at them lightly, causing these strong men to feel inexplicably trembling. However, he did not even reveal his aura, which made it even more difficult for them to figure out his depth, and they were just extremely wary.

"You don't have to do anything. We will cooperate with the investigation. Just do whatever you need to do." Old Hu said solemnly, "But before the evidence is solid, if you want to be unreasonable, don't blame me for not agreeing."

Seeing that he was so tough and wanted to show off his authority, the jailer asked the strong men in the prison to give him some tough treatment first.

But soon, someone must have said something to him. The jailer's expression changed. He looked up at Hu Delu and said, "Then please ask these people to come out and move them to another cell. We in Qingdu Prison Department will definitely investigate the matter. We will not wrongly accuse the good people, and we will never let the evil people go!"

Hu Delu said calmly: "It's better for you to do this."...

After a while, several people were taken to another cell.

It hasn't been long since we arrived at the prison, and this is already the fourth cell that everyone has been transferred to. It has been quite a bumpy ride.

The environment of this cell was much better than the previous one. Although it was not as luxurious and comfortable as Qi Boqing's cell, it was dry and clean, had a place to sit, and had no strange smells.

After I sat down, the people from the Criminal Justice Department didn't come over yet. I guess they wanted to find a strong man who could control the situation before they dared to come over for interrogation.

However, Hu Delu was not worried. It was hard to find a strong man who could match him in Yunlu City, not to mention that Zhao Mengyu was there in secret.

After a while, a noisy sound of footsteps was heard, and the jailer was seen respectfully leading two middle-aged men to the outside of the prison gate.

"Mr. Qi, Master, it's them." The jailer pointed at Liang Yue and the others inside and said to them.

The middle-aged man standing in the front was dressed in white brocade clothes, had a noble demeanor, a tall hat and cloud-like hair. He looked unpredictable, with the temperament of a superior. He was called "Mr. Qi" by the prison boss.

If nothing unexpected happens, this person should be the head of the Qingdu Qi family, Qi Delong.

The Qingdu family is different from the Shendu family, because the official positions in Yunlu City are not important, the highest is a third-rank official, it doesn't matter whether you hold the position or not. Moreover, the family has great power in the local area, if they hold important official positions, the court will be even more worried.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Therefore, it is not popular for the aristocratic families in Qingdu to become officials, unlike the several major aristocratic families in Shendu. If there are no high-ranking civil and military officials in the court, this generation will not be able to stand up straight.

Although Qi Delong was a commoner, even the highest official in Yunlu City had to address him respectfully as Mr. Qi.

The person standing half a step behind him should be the chief official in charge of prison affairs. Now that Zhao Faxian is missing and the new prison officer has not been appointed yet, the Qingdu Prison Department is leaderless and everyone is responsible for their own affairs.

As expected, he stepped forward and said, "I am the head of the Criminal Justice Department, Lu Dongqiang. You and your group are involved in several major cases. I am now going to interrogate you. I hope you can answer truthfully and don't resist."

Behind Qi Delong, there were two old men with deep auras. They should be masters worshipped by the Qi family, who came specifically to confront Hu Delu.

But after the two men arrived, the energy was locked onto Hu Delu, and he still felt it was unfathomable.

Obviously, the cultivation level of the first-class worshiper in the imperial city was not something that the two of them could match. However, they were also considered strong men in the Grandmaster realm, and their momentum was not weak. With the combined efforts of the two, they were able to compete with Hu Delu.

Liang Yue said: "Master Lu can ask any questions you want, and we will answer them truthfully."

"Okay." Lu Dongqiang nodded, and then said to Qi Delong: "Mr. Qi, please be patient. I will ask about the eldest son of the Qi family later."

After that, he turned to the people in the cell and asked, "You were arrested because you were at the scene of the Yungong Mountain fire. Do you have anything to do with this fire?"

"Not at all." Liang Yue shook his head. "If you want to find out who set the fire, I can provide some clues later."

"You were completely unaware of the more than 200 bodies dug out from the fire scene?" Lu Dongqiang continued to ask.

Hearing this, Liang Yue was surprised.

There were more than 200 bodies in the Yungong Mountain fire?
They definitely were not burned to death because they were on the mountain from the beginning until the end of the fire and did not see anyone killed.

In other words, these people had already died on the mountain!
This is not just a forest fire, it has led to such a big case.

In such a short period of time, our group of people have been suspected of committing so many serious crimes.

It’s not easy either.
