Chapter 839: Chapter 73 Inverting Black and White (Subscribe for the Big Chapter)_4
Lu Qingshan continued, “To find out why Lord Ying Jun was murdered, the best thod is to identify those with a motive for murder.”
He looked around and suddenly shouted, “I want to ask Demon Lord Hong Lie, who benefits the most from Ying Jun’s death?”
Demon Lord Hong Lie was montarily stunned, frowning, he asked, “What do you an? Speak plainly, don’t beat around the bush.”
“My two elder brothers, Chi Pu and Diao Feng, have always been at odds with because our father, Ao Ren Demon Venerable, dotes on ,” Lu Qingshan began telling his own story instead of directly answering.
“But actually, they never took seriously because the position of Domain Lord can only be inherited by purebloods, and I’m just a mixed blood.
Their real enemies are each other; I am nothing more than a thorn in their side.”
“I’ve witnessed their open and covert battles, filled with tension, and they have beco almost like enemies.”
“It pained to see them like this, they are brothers!” Lu Qingshan said with deep sorrow.
Ying Mingyue couldn’t help but purse her lips at Lu Qingshan’s emotional performance.
As if you are the one who genuinely cares about brotherhood?
Clearly, you’re also eyeing the position of Domain Lord, yet you’re pretending to be a Bodhisattva here?
Shaless!
“Sotis I think, if only father had a single pureblood child.
Then there would be no controversy over the position of Domain Lord, and there would be no fratricide,” Lu Qingshan sighed and continued.
As his words fell.
Everyone in the hall began to change their expressions.
Lu Qingshan did not speak directly, but his implication was clear.
With Ying Jun dead, who would be happiest?
Demon Lord Hong Lie’s eldest son, Ying Jie!
The number of pureblood War Demons is extrely few, Demon Lord Hong Lie has only two pureblood offspring, Ying Jun and Ying Jie.
The position of Family Head can only be inherited by a pureblood.
With Ying Jun dead, Ying Jie becos the only heir.
Qing Ge’s implication is that the murderer—is Ying Jun’s older brother, Ying Jie!
“How could Jie’er commit such a fratricidal act?!” Demon Lord Hong Lie’s face turned grim, his voice low, and he shouted, “Qing Ge, you are speaking nonsense, such thoughts should be punished!”
Lu Qingshan said with a mock smile, “Did I say sothing?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“However, since the Demon Lord has said this himself, I will dare to say a few more words.
If Lord Ying Jie indeed did this, the most crucial thing would be to create various false appearances, divert suspicion, and mislead the possibility of the true murderer onto so seemingly plausible, but actually non-existent people.
This way, not only would it confuse the sight but also turn the event into an unresolved case.”
Like a bolt from the blue.
Lu Qingshan’s words struck Demon Lord Hong Lie’s heart like a thunderclap.
A Human Race Sword Cultivator!
Isn’t that the kind of seemingly plausible but actually non-existent person?
How could there be a human hidden in their Burning Moon Domain without being discovered?
But Chi Venerable had firmly stated that he sensed the residual Sword Qi of a Human Race Sword Cultivator on the warship wreckage.
“Moreover, there should be so seemingly conclusive clues left intentionally to mislead everyone,” Lu Qingshan continued.
Exactly.
Demon Lord Hong Lie’s heart sank again.
He had always wondered why the murderer didn’t clean up the aftermath properly, instead leaving such obvious warship wreckage at the cri scene?
Their previous guess was that the situation was urgent and the murderer couldn’t handle the aftermath.
This was actually a very flimsy reason.
Since the murderer could quietly and easily kill Ying Jun, it clearly showed their imnse strength.
What situation would prevent them from handling the aftermath?
Demon Lord Hong Lie couldn’t think that the reason was simply because the murderer was a sword.
And swords can’t handle the aftermath by themselves.
So, from his perspective, as Qing Ge said, the warship wreckage was likely left intentionally by the murderer.
Why would the murderer intentionally leave these warship wreckages… it definitely wouldn’t be to help them find themselves.
So, as Qing Ge said, it was to mislead them?
Demon Lord Hong Lie’s eyes flickered, his mind racing with thoughts.
…
On the other side, Shi Wu Demon Venerable’s eyes gradually darkened.
He was also well aware of the details surrounding Ying Jun’s murder.
So he understood that what Qing Ge said was hitting the nail on the head!
However, the discovery of the warship wreckage and the presence of Sword Qi from a Human Race Sword Cultivator within it were known to only a few people and had not been made public.
Which ant Qing Ge guessed most of these details correctly based on sheer speculation.
This certainly added more credibility to Lu Qingshan’s words.
There really were too many unreasonable aspects to Ying Jun’s murder.
The most important thing was that they still couldn’t find a suspect with a strong motive to kill.
Just as Demon Lord Hong Lie suspected Qing Ge, but he actually couldn’t find a compelling reason why Qing Ge would take such a huge risk to kill Ying Jun.
It seed that Ying Jie was indeed the only suspect with a strong motive for murder?
…
“Utter nonsense, utter nonsense, Jun’er and Jie’er have always been harmonious brothers, and you, an outsider, are trying to sow discord!” Demon Lord Hong Lie’s face suddenly turned livid as he roared.
“Enough, be careful with your words,” Shi Wu Demon Venerable noticed Lu Qingshan was about to say more, and suddenly spoke, his tone flat but firm.
Only then did Lu Qingshan suddenly wake up, silent for a mont, he slowly said, “I overstepped, my earlier words were foolish, please do not take them to heart.”
“Hmph!” Demon Lord Hong Lie was already sowhat enraged.
Everyone present gradually regained their composure, their expressions showing little sign of their inner thoughts, except for Ying Mingyue, whose eyes still held so shock.
“Is it true that Ying Jie murdered his own brother, Ying Jun?”
She was incredibly surprised, but the more she thought about it, the more likely it seed.
“It must be so, it must be so, Demon Lord Hong Lie’s reaction just proves Qing Ge was right!”
She was not foolish and saw many clues from an observer’s perspective.
Lu Qingshan, on the other hand, kept sneering inwardly.
Turning lies into truths and pinning the bla on Ying Jie was a spur-of-the-mont idea.
Yet it was this spur-of-the-mont idea that, like a stroke of genius, perfectly explained many suspicious aspects of the case.
