Riding the Pheonix Chapter 531: Fire

The light is dim.

Mingwei held the lantern and slowly returned to the top of the Merit Tower.

"The connection between Xuanfei and I was very weak. There were only two such times, but they happened to be at the same place." She hung up the lantern, stood by the stairs, and looked at the small space on the top floor, " So I think this must be an unusual place. If Xuan Fei has any secret, it’s probably here."

Yang Shu reacted very quickly: "You mean, agency?"

"Or mezzanine or something like that."

Yang Shu smiled and said, "I'm good at this."

After that, he walked to the wall, rolled up his sleeves, and swept all the tablets on it into the corners.

Fortunately, the people at Xuandu Temple couldn't see it, otherwise they wouldn't have beaten him to death if they saw him treating the patriarch's memorial tablet like this.

Yang Shu didn't care. He rolled all the tablets together and looked at them one by one. After reading it, I looked at the table where the memorial tablet was placed, the surrounding walls, the beams above my head, and finally the offering table.

"Hey!" He suddenly let out a sound, reached under the altar table, and gently opened it, only to hear a slight "click" sound.

"Found something?"

Yang Shu's expression became very strange, and when he stretched out his hand, there was a dagger.

A **** dagger.

Seeing the style of the sword, Jiang Wenfeng immediately said: "Bring it to me and see!"

Yang Shu handed it over.

Jiang Wenfeng compared it carefully and finally said: "This should be Yuyang's weapon and the murder weapon that killed him."

Then he murmured: "Strange, why is the murder weapon there? What's the point of hiding it?"

Mingwei walked to the altar table, stretched out his hand to fumble around the hidden compartment, and said, "Is there something else placed here?"

Yang Shu said: "This hidden grid is very delicate. If I see something wrong with the crack, I can't find it at all."

Mingwei knocked on the altar table and said, "I have a hypothesis."

The two looked over at her.

"The treasure they were talking about may be hidden here. Yuyang knew this, so he secretly entered the Merit Tower. And he suddenly took action against Xuanfei, maybe even he discovered Xuanfei and knew about it. As for where this thing went, I tend to think that a third person took it away, and the murder weapon was put in by him when he took the thing."

Jiang Wenfeng said: "It sounds reasonable, but this conjecture lacks evidence."

Yang Shu said: "I thought the other party did it on purpose."

"How to say?"

"The murder weapon is missing, so this case cannot be closed easily, and it will be difficult for Xuan Fei to be convicted." He paused, "The other party seems to be delaying time."

"Why delay?" Jiang Wenfeng asked, "Assuming what you guessed is true, he has already got the treasure, why delay?"

"This..." Yang Shu couldn't answer.

"Let's make another assumption." Mingwei continued, "If what Xuan Fei said was not a lie, then why did he refuse to tell it? It was Yuyang who acted first. He was in self-defense, even if he really killed Yuyang, the reason is quite legitimate, isn’t it?”

"Yes, Xuanfei really doesn't care about many things." Yang Shu touched his chin, "He values ​​Xuandu Guan and has great feelings for his master. Other than that?"

"Can we understand that he didn't say anything just to delay time?" Mingwei continued to guess.

The three of them couldn't guess it.

There was a bang outside, it was midnight.

Jiang Wenfeng said: "It's getting late, let's go back and rest first. Our thinking has reached a dead end now, maybe there will be new clues tomorrow."

"Okay..."

Go back, wash up, and have a rest.

Not long after sleeping, Mingwei was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door: "Oh no, there's a fire! There's a fire!"

As soon as she put on her clothes, Yang Shu opened the door and came in, his face extremely ugly: "The Tower of Merit is on fire."

"What?" Mingwei was shocked, "What about Xuanfei and Yuyang?"

"The fire started from the top floor, there were no casualties, and Yuyang's body was carried out."

Mingwei **** her clothes and said, "Let's go take a look."

The merit tower is made of wood and stone and burns quickly.

As soon as they came out of the yard, they saw a bright fire.

When they arrived at the platform, they saw the entire merit tower shrouded in fire.

Jiang Wenfeng is organizing people to put out the fire.

Mingwei's eyes swept over them one by one, and it was incredible: "Aren't they confronting each other on the podium? With so many experts watching, how did it catch fire?"

Yang Shu said nothing.

This fire burned until dawn.

The upper three floors were burned away, leaving only half of the tower black and smoking.

People who put out fires in the middle of the night collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

Mingwei found Xuanfei in the crowd.

She picked up Xuanfei in a rough manner and dragged him outside.

Someone came to stop: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Yang Shu stood in front of them and shouted: "I have been asked to answer a question, what do you want to do? Do you want to resist the order?"

Many people knew him well and did not dare to make any mistakes, so he was forcibly suppressed.

Mingwei dragged Xuanfei, kicked open a palace door and threw him to the ground.

"You still refuse to say it? The merit tower was burned down. The other party may not want your life, but what he wants is to destroy the foundation of Xuandu Temple! Don't you think that you have inherited the master's legacy? Just watch it like this. Are you trying to destroy Xuandu Temple?"

Xuan Fei moved his lips ~IndoMTL.com~ and said nothing.

Mingwei continued to sneer: "What are you delaying? We have rehearsed according to the traces on the scene. It was you and Yuyang who made the move at that time. You said you didn't kill it, couldn't it be possible that the ghost was possessed at that time?"

After she finished speaking, Xuan Fei's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Mingwei found out and asked: "Is it true? You were controlled by others at that time?"

Xuanfei didn't answer and lowered his head again.

Mingwei was so angry that she wanted to kick him, but she finally held back.

"What are you waiting for? As soon as this fire is lit, we all know that there is a third person. Are you helping him delay time?"

Xuan Fei still kept his mouth shut.

Mingwei has nothing to say.

Standing there for a long time, she decided to give it one last try.

"Do you still remember why we reached a consensus?" She knelt down in front of Xuanfei and looked directly into his eyes, "For the country of Qi, for the people, for your master's legacy, and to prevent the world from falling into In the flames of war. Have you forgotten now? Xuanfei, look into my eyes and say, have you forgotten? Will you eventually go on the road of betrayal and become that demon star? Why do you think I let you go? ? Because I trust my own judgment and believe that you are not that kind of person in nature. Now are you going to betray my trust and betray your master’s instructions?"

Listening to her heavy breathing, Xuanfei slowly raised his head.

He always felt that this woman was more dangerous than him, and she might be the one who turned bad one day.

But now, there is only purity and enthusiasm in her eyes.

The one who turned bad was indeed him!

"I...damn it." He finally said these three words.
