Chapter 24

Suspicious Guilt

In fact, he was already tempted when Ye Jiang first mentioned it. Techniques were indeed his shortcoming. When the will of all living beings was sufficient, he could create some special sword moves to make up for this problem.

Therefore, he pretended to reject him on purpose. If Ye Jiang didn’t fall for his tricks and continued to stick to him, he could only split the profits 50 – 50. Based on his performance today, he probably wouldn’t leave angrily.

Ye Jiang looked at Su Yang resentfully. However, he quickly restrained his emotions. He did not care too much about these things. As long as the direction was correct, even if the first half of the loot was only 30%, the first half of the loot would definitely surpass everyone else.

“Brother Su, what are you going to do now? Any new clues?” Ye Jiang immediately changed his expression and asked Su Yang excitedly.

Since he had already joined hands with this guy, Su Yang also told him his clue.

“Then what should we do next?” Ye Jiang was a little excited.

It could be seen that this fellow was very interested in such things.

“Capture him directly and interrogate him.”

“So direct?”

“What else do you have in mind?”

“No, your idea is not bad. Let’s go!”

“Wait a minute…”

Ye Jiang excitedly urged Su Yang to move faster. He was a little puzzled when he heard Su Yang’s rejection, “What’s wrong? Are you not ready?”

“I’ll call Li Mingyuan.”

“You don’t know the way, do you?” Ye Jiang asked.”

This guy was right. Su Yang couldn’t see through Ye Jiang. On the surface, he was stubborn, but in fact, he was not. Ye Jiang had his own plans. But Su Yang did not care about this. As long as he did not cheat him, did not harm his interests, and could help him, Su Yang would not care too much.

If there was really a problem, he would naturally kill him with a sword.

Su Yang didn’t care about what Ye Jiang thought. It was better to say that Su Yang believed in the sword in his hand.

After a while, Li Mingyuan followed Su Yang out. When he saw Ye Jiang standing at the door, Li Mingyuan also understood why Su Yang had returned.

“Greetings Lord Ye.”

“Quickly lead the way.” Ye Jiang didn’t mind and waved his hand. Right now, he just wanted to catch someone.

The three of them walked forward. After about ten minutes, the three of them arrived at Li Hongyun’s house.

“Let’s go in and arrest them.”

“Alright!” Ye Jiang responded enthusiastically. He went up and gave the door a kick, wanting to kick it open.

At this moment, the door opened automatically.

Ye Jiang’s kick missed, and his body couldn’t help but lean forward. Just as he was about to make a fool of himself, Ye Jiang pulled his foot back in an extremely strange state.

“Brother Su… You tricked me again.”

“You’re wrong. I’m just opening the door.”

Just as Ye Jiang was about to kick the door open, Su Yang used his sword intent to open the door bolt and push it open. This caused the door to open automatically.

“Hurry up and catch him.”

“I’ll go then.”

Ye Jiang mumbled to himself before rushing inside.

This was because there was not much movement when he opened the door, Li Hongyun was still sleeping soundly in the room when Ye Jiang casually brought him up.

“Who…What, what are you doing!”

Li Hongyun struggled in panic, but he was carried out like a little chick.

Su Yang took out the token from the Martial Suppression Division and showed it to Li Hongyun, Li Hongyun, who was still struggling, suddenly quieted down.

“Sir…I wonder why?”

“I heard that your mother has recovered.”

Su Yang’s words made Li Hongyun pause. He understood that the matter had been exposed, but he still refused to give up and said stubbornly, “Sir, this is also a coincidence…”

“Is that so? Tell me the process?” Su Yang said indifferently.

Li Hongyun’s face was full of distress. After thinking for a while, he finally spoke, “Sir, the recent bird beast incident was indeed my doing, but I was also forced to do so. I can’t just watch my mother die in front of me.”

“And…I’m just following his instructions and moving the banknotes. This isn’t a big crime, right?”

The Martial Suppression Division had already investigated him. If he could not come up with a reasonable explanation and continued to quibble, he would only die a miserable death.

“What crime it is will naturally be decided by the person who judges you. Now, you just need to tell me what you know.”

“I don’t know much either.” Li Hongyun said as if he had accepted his fate, “He was the one who took the initiative to contact me. I didn’t even see what he looked like when he was wearing a black robe. I only took the silver notes that the villagers sold according to his instructions and placed them at the location he specified.”

“To be more specific, where did you put it?”

“On the biggest peach tree in the peach forest outside the city.”

“Is that all?” Su Yang’s gaze was deep, calm, and oppressive.

This little clue was useless. The matter had already happened for so long. There would not be any clues at all from just the trading location.

Without waiting for Li Hongyun to speak, Su Yang continued, “Because you’re involved in this matter, you have to come with us.”

“Lock him in the cell until the case is solved.”

“Even if your crime is a small one, if this case can’t be solved for a long time, you’ll have to pay for it. Of course, if you can provide clues and let us solve the case as soon as possible… A small crime can be forgiven.”

Li Hongyun fell silent. After a moment, he finally spoke, “I only have one useful clue. Everyone only knows that my Emerald Yellow Bird can recognize things and obey orders.”

“Actually, that’s because I’ve mastered a technique. I can add my vision to the Emerald Yellow Bird’s body and construct a divine soul connection to perfectly control the Emerald Yellow Bird. Thus, I found some clues.”

“The other party has made a deal with the Big River Gang. I’m not too sure about the exact deal, but the Third Young Master of the Big River Gang was born paralyzed. After the deal, he can move freely.”

Li Hongyun told him everything he knew. The man in black didn’t know about these things. If he told them now, the man in black wouldn’t know that he was the one who told them.

Then, Su Yang continued to ask for a while. After confirming that Li Hongyun only knew this information, Su Yang asked Li Mingyuan to lock this person in the cell first.

Without a doubt, this was a very important clue. As long as it was confirmed, they would be one step closer to the truth.

Ye Jiang was a little excited, “Shall we go to Big River Gang right now and capture someone?”

“Yes, let’s go now to avoid any more trouble.”

Su Yang had the same idea. Since he already had conclusive evidence, he would go straight to the door. Sometimes, in the face of absolute strength, some processes and some obstacles would turn into nothingness.

If they were only in fifth grade, they would not dare to rush to the door. However, they were in fourth grade and above. Some of the more difficult things would become extremely easy.

This was a world where the strong were respected.

“Li Mingyuan, send someone to investigate Li Chang’s problem.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s go to the Big River Gang.”

The three of them changed their direction and rushed toward the Big River Gang.
