Chapter 530 King Sha [asking for a monthly ticket! ]
The corpses and the scene had been swept away to who knows where by the sudden storm, leaving only a few people here talking nonsense. Liang Yue was not a real god and did not have the ability to see the past or the future.
It seems like this is going to become an unsolved case.
but……
He thought carefully about what the three people had just said. These three people formed their own factions and would not collude with each other. So what the other two people said could be confirmed.
So Liang Yue pointed at the old man and said, "It seems that you are not very good to your daughter. It must be false to say that you cherish her."
Because in the descriptions of the traveling merchant and the young man, both mentioned that the old man treated his daughter very badly.
The old man's face changed twice before he smiled and said, "Farmers don't raise children so meticulously. It's inevitable to teach them a lesson occasionally... But I, an old man, am definitely doing this for the good of the child..."
Liang Yue ignored his argument and pointed at the merchant, "From what they said, the girl would not take the initiative to go with you. Could it be that you really kidnapped her or even abducted her?"
If the girl had really agreed to elope with her lover, why would she run away with a traveling merchant in the middle of the night?
"God's conscience!" The merchant immediately shouted, "Master Immortal Official, I am an honest businessman. Even if they are real human traffickers, they kidnapped people and sold them in the mountains of Liangzhou. How can they kidnap people and sell them in Zhongzhou?"
Liang Yue looked at the scarred young man again, "When you saw the girl's body, was there no one else around?"
The young man said, "After I found the body, I was standing by and searching around. Then a storm came and the horses were frightened and ran away. I just happened to see them running over there. If there were any suspicious people, they must be the two of them."
"Wait a minute." Liang Yue suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "When they showed up, your horses were gone?"
The young man recalled and confirmed: "Yes, our horse died a long time ago."
Liang Yue fixed his gaze on the old man again. "You just said they were a group of horse thieves who were out to rob, but they had no horses and did not attack you. How did you determine that they were horse thieves?"
"This..." The old man panicked for a moment and said defensively, "They look alike."
"Nonsense," the merchant sneered, "Can you tell with your naked eyes who has a horse or not?"
The old man retorted: "I have a very sharp eye. They can see the horse at a glance, but you can see there is no horse at a glance."
"Is it possible that you were at the scene earlier and left only after seeing them coming..." Liang Yue stared at him and pressed him, "And you said they also wanted to rob money, who else did they want to rob? Besides, do you have any money on you?"
"Horse thieves are rampant in Liangzhou. They rob those with money and kill those without money. Naturally, I am afraid of them." The old man explained in an increasingly panicked manner, "He is so ferocious that I feel like I am being robbed just by looking at him."
"If it was a traveling merchant who killed someone, he only needed to leave. There was really no need for him to return to Huanfengling. And if it was a horse thief who killed someone, he could just turn around and leave. There was no need to stay where he was." Liang Yue continued to lock his eyes on the old man. "If there must be a murderer among you, then it is most likely you, old man."
"Master Immortal Official, please don't talk nonsense. Why would I kill my own daughter?" The old man waved his hands repeatedly, "Besides...if it's like you said, I can just kill someone and leave. Why would I come back?"
"No, you are different from them." Liang Yue shook his head decisively and said, "Your home is here. If you don't show up, the merchant will chase you home to ask for money and property. But you are chasing him here to ask for people, so you can drive him away with a clear conscience..." Then he looked at the merchant again, "You know the direction of his home, right? Show me the way."
"It's just below the Huanfeng Ridge ahead..." The merchant raised his hand and pointed in the direction, then he felt himself floating and was swept away by a gust of strong wind.
Liang Yue's true energy surged, and in a blink of an eye, he swept everyone present and flew directly to the village under Huanfeng Ridge.
"Go in and search!" He pointed at the old man's door. Several traveling merchants and the scarred young man's men immediately rushed in, shouting and searching the place.
Soon they found a bloody bundle under the eaves. The merchant opened it and shouted, "This is mine! Look, there's a document from the government on it."
Seeing the stolen goods seized, the old man stopped quibbling and sat down on the ground, saying sadly: "I didn't do it on purpose, I just missed it... The girl took the money and wanted to run away, and I accidentally pushed her down..."
It turned out that their family often did this kind of business here. They would first let their daughter pick up a passing merchant, and then bring back the money and property after the merchant left, or they would set up a trap to catch an adulterer.
However, recently his daughter didn't want to help him anymore. Instead, she took the money and wanted to escape on her own, which is why she was killed by the old man.
"Thank you, Sir!" the merchant thanked him. "If it weren't for your keen observation, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find my property!"
The way they look at Liang Yue now is as if they are looking at a god.
Not only did he have supernatural powers, but he also thoroughly investigated such a chaotic case with just a few words. How is he different from a real god?
"Be careful when you go out in the future." Liang Yue smiled and just gave a warning, "Just take this old man to the government, and don't let anything happen on the way. I have to go to Huanfeng Ridge to do some things, and then I will go to the city to check the situation."
"Master Immortal Official, are you going to Huanfeng Ridge?" The scarred young man, who was originally a little lost, was suddenly shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "The ridge is now the territory of King Sand, and the wind and sand are raging everywhere. He is using it to practice. If Master Immortal Official goes there, be careful not to anger King Sand."
"Is it a very powerful monster?" Liang Yue asked.
"I don't know your specific cultivation level. In my eyes, both of you have boundless magical powers. I only know that this Sand King is the sworn brother of Lord Black Mountain of White Tiger City. He must be one of the best in the world. He came here on purpose to practice the Great Dao with the help of the wind and sand of Huanfeng Ridge. He hates being disturbed, and he recruited us subordinates to help him drive out those who enter Huanfeng Ridge."
"Using the wind and sand here to practice?" Liang Yue chuckled, "It doesn't matter if we disturb him or not. Anyway, he won't be able to practice here in the future."
After saying that, he leaped up and turned into a stream of light and disappeared directly into the mountain ahead.
He might feel a little guilty in a battle in the immortal realm, but below the immortal realm, he simply doesn't bother to care about the opponent's cultivation.
Anyway, no matter how high its cultivation is.
It’s definitely not as tall as me.
boom!
As the golden light disappeared into the mountains, the sandstorm that was swirling like a canopy over the mountains suddenly exploded into a huge black hole.
