Chapter 36 The Murderer Behind the Scenes

"Are you the person who was in charge of patrolling in that area at that time?" Wei Lan's eyes fell on Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi gave a tribute and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Next Zhou Yi, I have met Deacon Wei."

Wei Lan nodded, stared at Zhou Yi without saying a word.

Li Suze said: "You didn't escape or commit suicide, you're a little responsible."

Tian Biansheng was more concerned about another question: "Junior Brother Zhou, how about it? Has the ghost who committed the murderer found?"

Zhou Yi shook his head slightly and told the truth: "Not found."

Upon hearing this, Tian Biansheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Lu Xuanxuan looked worried.

"I boasted about the murderer in front of me last night, but now I can't catch the murderer." Li Su was not surprised at all. "I should have controlled you directly last night, but it's okay, even if I control you, it's just to avoid you from escaping, prevent you from committing suicide, and reduce risks. Since you are honest, there is no difference."

"No, there is a difference." Zhou Yi couldn't help but retort.

"Hmm?" Li Su frowned.

Wei Lan did not want to hear those meaningless disputes, and raised her hand and said, "Since I haven't found it, there is nothing to say. You and I go back to Nanzhou Prefecture City, and others continue to search for the murderous ghosts. If anything like that, it is not to punish one person's crime, but to be held accountable for your entire Luming City branch."

"etc!"

Zhou Yi hurriedly said, "Deacon Wei, although I couldn't find the ghost who committed the murder, I already understood what was going on and who the murderer behind the scenes was."

"The murderer behind the scenes?" The people present were stunned.

"That's right, you may think this is just a simple ghost murder, but that's not the case. This is a carefully planned murder case." Zhou Yi said slowly.

“Murder?”

"Murder the officials from the state capital?"

"How is that possible!"

"Who is so brave?"

Everyone expressed their disbelief.

“It’s a murder indeed.”

Zhou Yi explained, "I couldn't figure out why ghosts first appeared in our private room, and then ran to the fifth floor of Zuiyue Tower. No one was killed, but they just killed officials from the prefecture. If this was a coincidence, it would be a bit too coincidental."

"Also, the fifth floor of Zuiyue Tower seems to be in the open air, but in fact there is a barrier. Even if it is a ghost, you don't want to easily escape through the barrier. As a result, I searched in Zuiyue Tower for a long time, but I still couldn't find the ghost. This is very wrong."

"The only reasonable explanation is that before I arrived at the fifth floor, someone used a ghost bag to pretend to be a ghost to put away the murderer. At that time, everyone was just thinking about finding the murderer, and they thought that the ghost had escaped or hid somewhere in the Zuiyue Tower. They never thought about the possibility of being put away by someone."

"No one searched the people present at that time, so naturally no one could find the murderer."

"Since someone put away the murderer at that time, it was undoubtedly a carefully planned murder."

"At the beginning, the murderer behind the scenes wanted to kill Lord Wu from the State Prefecture, but he could not use normal means to kill him, so he thought of using the power of the ghost."

"But Lord Wu came from the state prefecture after all, and he was not from the Zhengdao League. He was just an ordinary state prefecture official. There was no reason for ghosts to kill him, otherwise it would be easy for people to suspect him. So when he learned that a few members of the Zhengdao League were having dinner on the fourth floor, the murderer behind the scenes asked the ghost to go to the private room where we were on the fourth floor."

"In this way, everyone will think that the ghost was just for the people from our righteous alliance, but he couldn't beat us. When he was chased, he fled to the fifth floor. He coincidentally killed Lord Wu from the state prefecture, and then found a place to hide or escape."

After explaining it in one breath, he concluded: "The murderer behind the killing of Lord Wu was among the people present at that time."

Everyone didn't believe it at first, but after this analysis, they found that there was something else.

"I remember that except for the magistrate Wang County and others, the rest were all entourages from the prefecture." Tian Biansheng thought, "But I arrived at Zuiyue Tower later. No one should have slipped away before I arrived, right?"

"No." Zhou Yi was very sure.

"In other words, the murderer was either one of the magistrates of Wang County, or a entourage from the prefecture?" Tian Biansheng asked.

"It's the magistrate of Wang County." Zhou Yi directly announced the murderer behind the scenes.

"Mr. Wang County?"

"Why did he kill Lord Wu?"

"How did he hook up with ghosts?"

"Are you sure he is the murderer behind the scenes?"

Everyone was very confused.

"Confirm." Zhou Yi nodded, "There is no one else except him."

"This is just your guess? Even if your explanation just now only seems reasonable, not without loopholes, it does not mean that it is the truth." Wei Lan said.

Of course, Zhou Yi dared not say that there were no loopholes. After all, he had never learned criminal investigation reasoning, but the problem was not big.

He looked at Wei Lan and said confidently: "If Deacon Wei doesn't believe it, you might as well invite the magistrate Wang over. As long as you confront him, the truth will be revealed soon."

Wei Lan glanced at Li Su and signaled with his eyes.

Li Su knew it and immediately asked someone to go to Wang County Magistrate.

A moment later, County Magistrate Wang was brought to everyone.

"Have you met Deacon Wei."

County Magistrate Wang seemed very calm.

He didn't know that he had been accused by Zhou Yi, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously, and there was no evidence.

The ghost who committed the murder had already been killed by him, and the ghost bag used to pretend to be a ghost had long been destroyed by him. As for the disciples of the Ghost Sect who knew his situation, it was impossible for the people of the Zhengdao Alliance to identify him.

Everything seemed foolproof to him.

If you want to say something that made him feel uneasy, it was probably because he had a nightmare last night. After waking up, he was disheartened several times.

No matter what, in this kind of moment or occasion, he doesn't think he will lose his links.

Of course, Wei Lan didn't think that County Magistrate Wang would confess obediently, but he still said: "County Magistrate Wang, Zhou Yi said you are the murderer behind the killing of Lord Wu, is there any such incident?"

County Magistrate Wang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhou Yi, and soon shook his head, "Yes, I am the murderer behind the scenes."

"Hmm?" Everyone was a little confused.

He shook his head and admitted, what's going on?

Even the magistrate Wang County himself was confused at this time.

He clearly wanted to deny it, but wanted to say that Zhou Yi was simply slander, so how did he say it turned into an admission?

At this moment, he even had a little doubt whether he was possessed, otherwise how could he say that?
