Chapter five hundred and forty-eight, Pan Zimo
Qi Wufei's first reaction was that Pan Zimo was coming.
But when I think about it, I feel that something is wrong. Even if Pan Zimo finds something through Dongyue, he should use Dongyue as bait to lure the real murderer, that is, he will take the bait himself, instead of killing all the things, even the pomegranate tree on the banks of Xiangsi Lake has been turned up.
And how could Pan Zimo know that Dongyue’s true body is a pomegranate tree?
Looking at the pits on the ground again, they don’t look like they were excavated by magic weapons.
If Pan Zimo had moved his hand, he would only need to use a flying sword to cut off the tree roots, kill the spiritual energy, or use magic to make the tree wither. Mortals would only think that these trees had been affected by pests and died suddenly, and would not look shocking like they are now, and obviously artificial.
He walked along the remains of the tree roots and saw an excavator beside the lake. There were two trees upside down and they were not carried away.
It seems that this is not the move of the practitioner, but more like the government is engaged in greening construction and transplanting trees.
But Acacia Lake is a cultural heritage. The pomegranate trees by the lake are thousands of years old and are protected. How could they be eradicated at once? Which government would issue such a confused order? And did Dongyue not have a trace of resistance? With her cultivation, it is easy to show miracles and scare these mortals.
Qi Wufei immediately called Lin Linshan: "Check why the pomegranate trees on the banks of Acacia Lake have been eradicated, which unit did it, who issued the order, and where did the trees be moved?"
Lin Linshan didn't understand why Qi Wufei was concerned about the life and death of several trees, and said, "Boss, it's all night now. People from government units are off work. Why don't you check it tomorrow?"
"No, I must check now. I need to know the result before midnight. If you can't find it, I have to tell me, and I will find another way." Qi Wufei said.
Lin Linshan had never heard Qi Wufei give such a harsh order, and could not tolerate any doubts, so he said, "Okay, I'll go check it right away."
Qi Wufei is not going to be difficult for Linlinshan. Dongyue’s life and death are uncertain. Whether this matter is related to him or not. He hopes to get news from his own people as soon as possible, rather than through Chenghuangsi and Duanmu family.
After walking around the banks of Xiangsi Lake, he returned to Xueqin Tower and flew onto the terrace on the third floor.
At this time, Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and there is a moon in the sky, half-round but not round, and clouds under the moon are like tulle, half-covered, the stars are dim, and the autumn wind is bleak.
Qi Wufei stood on the terrace, unaware of his advance and retreat.
It was here that he drank the Luoshen tea made by Dongyue for the first time, and enjoyed the graceful dance of Dongyue here. He remembered that day, it was raining, and Dongyue used his natal magic weapon to use green leaves to create a piece of green umbrella shade.
He walked slowly forward and came to the small door. Inside the door was Dongyue's room. He hoped that he could see Dongyue's smile like a flower when he opened the door. But he also knew that this was impossible. As his spiritual sense saw, there was no trace of anger in the entire building.
For some reason, Qi Wufei's heart was a little panicked.
He gently pushed the door open and walked into the room. It was pitch black.
There is a tea table in the middle of the house, with a set of Ru porcelain tea sets and two cups on it. There is a charcoal stove next to the tea table and an iron kettle is placed on it.
This is the utensil for making tea in Dongyue. She usually keeps it in her storage space, but now she is lying quietly in the house. But their owners don’t know where they have gone.
Qi Wufei remembered it very clearly that when he first came, Dongyue used this set of tea to make for Ru porcelain tea sets for him and Duanmuwei. It was one cup and three cups at that time, but now it was placed on the table, but now it was one cup and two cups.
There seemed to be some special meaning in this, and he seemed to understand, but he didn't.
He gently stroked the edge of the coffee table and felt the special wood texture, as if touching a person's skin.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the darkness:
"If I'm not mistaken, the owner here should be a woman."
Qi Wufei suddenly turned around and saw a person sitting on the cushion in the dark corner.
He was startled.
This person probably didn't just come in, obviously he was in the room long ago. But he didn't notice him just now. When his spiritual sense swept over, the entire building was not alive, and he thought it was empty. It was obvious that this person's cultivation was far above him.
"Who are you?" Qi Wufei asked.
"Who are you?" the man asked back.
Qi Wufei said: "What do you want to break into a woman's boudoir without others' permission?"
The man said, "Aren't you the same?"
Qi Wufei said, "I am the master's friend here."
The man said, "I can see that you have a close relationship with her. Since that's the case, I can't wait for her, so I'll ask you the same."
"Are you waiting for her?" Qi Wufei was not sure whether this person's words were true or false, and what was the real purpose.
"Yes. I've been waiting here for two days." said the person in the dark.
"Two days?"
Qi Wufei's thoughts were like lightning. Could it be that Dongyue had been missing for more than two days? It happened to be the time when he went to Flame Mountain. What happened to be here?
"What are you asking for her?" he asked.
"My junior brother is missing. He has been here before his death, so I'll ask. But unfortunately, the owner here also looks missing. Do you know where she went?"
Qi Wufei had vaguely guessed the identity of this person before, but when it was confirmed that he was Pan Zimo, he was still a little surprised. He was on guard and stared at Pan Zimo in the corner.
Pan Zimo sat on the cushion, calm and composed.
Qi Wufei had to admit that this man is indeed a master, and his cultivation is much higher than his. He did not use any special invisibility spells. He just sat there and restrained his spirit. He could actually integrate with the surrounding environment and avoid his spiritual exploration. This is the realm of unity between man and nature!
Faced with such a master, Qi Wufei dared not relax at all. His spiritual sense had already locked the Tiansi Ling Carp armor in his left hand, and his right hand held the hilt of Xiao Lian's sword in his right hand. He did not hold the Chengying Sword, because he felt that in this dark night, the power of Xiao Lian's sword might be greater, while the Chengying Sword could use its invisible characteristics of its sword energy to launch a surprise attack at critical moments.
Of course, he didn't think he could hurt the other party, so he was even more prepared to escape at any time. The spell of Qianlong's not to use was already pressed on his throat and could pop out at any time.
"You seem to be very nervous." Pan Zimo said, "Is it because my junior brother's disappearance related to you?" :(/
"Who is your junior brother? Who are you?" Qi Wufei asked deliberately.
"My name is Pan Zimo, and my junior brother is Fu Hongsheng."
Pan Zimo said it frankly without hiding it. This also revealed his confidence. From his tone and eyes, he thought Qi Wufei could not escape at all. In the face of absolute poor strength, any trick is unnecessary.
"So they are the Seven Masters of Miyun!" Qi Wufei avoided Fu Hongsheng's topic and said with his eyes on his left and right, "The leader of the Seven Masters of Miyun actually broke into a woman's boudoir. Are you afraid of laughing when you tell me?"
Pan Zimo was indifferent to his aggressive words, without any fluctuation in his spirit, and he asked calmly: "Where has Miss Dongyue here gone?"
Qi Wufei said, "How do I know? I came to find her too."
Pan Zimo asked, "I see that you have a close relationship with her, why don't you know where she is?"
Qi Wufei said, "I still want to ask you! I suspect she has been killed and you are hiding here sneakily. Could it be that you did it?"
Pan Zimo said: "I never sneak in my murder, nor do I kill innocent people. I just came to investigate the truth about my junior brother's disappearance. If it had nothing to do with Miss Dongyue, I would naturally not hurt him."
Qi Wufei sneered: "It sounds nice. If you are so open-minded, why are you hiding in the corner?"
Pan Zimo said: "If you are not at ease, we can talk to the terrace outside."
Qi Wufei wanted exactly this sentence. What he was worried about was that in a small room, once the other party launched an attack, even if he was invisible, as long as he blocked it with his magic power, he would easily be blocked in the house and could not escape. On the terrace outside, it would be much easier to escape.
"Okay, then let's go to the terrace and say something open."
After saying that, Qi Wufei hurriedly went out to the terrace. When he turned around, he found that Pan Zimo had followed him and stood behind him, less than three meters away from him.
Damn, Qi Wufei cursed in his heart, this guy is like a ghost, elusive, and it is not easy to get rid of it.
However, if Dongyue disappeared was not because of him, why was that? Who eradicated the trees by the lake?
"If you want to ask, ask quickly." He said.
Pan Zimo said: "My junior brother came to Xueqinlou some time ago and praised the owner of this place for Miss Dongyue as the most beautiful in the world. After that, Xueqinlou closed the door. Later, my junior brother disappeared and Xueqinlou opened again. I want to know why this is?"
Qi Wufei thinks that you should be careful when lying in front of this person. Such a master is the most conceited and feels good about himself. If you lie to him and be noticed by him, you might anger him. Instead of lying, it is better to tell the truth selectively and guide the other party to think from a different perspective.
He thought about it and said, "Your junior brother Fu Hongsheng, I know that you are not a good person. On the surface, you are hypocritical and commit crimes behind your back. When you see a beautiful woman, you want to take advantage of it. The girl Dongyue in Xueqinlou closed the door because she is good-looking and was harassed by him. But they are in business. Do you know how much rent this house costs a year, and how much money will be lost if you keep them in one day? Do you pay for it? Just because of your junior brother, that bastard, you don't let others open it? As soon as they open it, you say that your junior brother disappeared because of him. But now the door is closed again and there are no one. I also say that they are missing because of you!"
Of course, Qi Wufei took risks when speaking like this. This is also because he has a magic weapon and invisibility technique, otherwise he would never dare to take such a risk.
Pan Zimo frowned and said, "I know very well what kind of person my junior brother is, you don't need to say anything. I'm just here to investigate and didn't say who is the murderer."
Qi Wufei said, "I can see that you are better than your junior brother, at least more righteous than him. Okay, after asking, I have helped you prove that your junior brother's disappearance has nothing to do with Miss Dongyue. I also believe that Miss Dongyue's disappearance has nothing to do with you. Since this is the case, let's break up."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Suddenly, Pan Zimo asked, "What's your name?"
Qi Wufei knew that this question must be answered. If he retreated without saying a word, Pan Zimo would definitely catch up. Although he could escape invisibly, he was considered a murderer from then on, which would eventually be a troublesome thing.
He decided to tell the truth and turned around and said, "My name is Qi Wufei."
"Qi Wufei..." Pan Zimo laughed, "It's really a place to search for it without any effort. It turns out that you are Qi Wufei, and the first person I'm looking for is you, but you were not here a few days ago, and I thought you were hiding. I didn't expect you to come to your door by yourself. You already know who I am, why do you still reveal your identity? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Qi Wufei said, "Why should I hide? I didn't kidnap your wife and didn't bully your sister. Why am I afraid of you? Why do you kill me? You won't want to put your junior brother's missing account on me again, right?"
Pan Zimo said: "The last thing my junior brother did before he disappeared was to kill you, but now you are alive, he is gone. Do you think this matter has nothing to do with you?"
Qi Wufei said, "He wants to kill me? That means he is the murderer! Hey, are you mistaken? Your junior brother wants to kill me, I am the victim. Although I am not dead, why is he an attempted murder? I am a civil servant of the City God Division. According to the laws of the Heavenly Court, he has failed to murder civil servants. He has to be sentenced to life. Now the victim is standing in front of you. Instead of condemning the murderer, you said that I, the victim, caused the murderer to disappear and then wanted to kill me. Are all you Miyun Sect so unreasonable?"
"Clever talk!" Pan Zimo said, "Now you are alive and my junior brother is missing, it's all true."
"Then you can't say I killed him, right?" Qi Wufei said.
Pan Zimo looked at him and said, "With your strength, I can't kill him. I will investigate this matter. Anyway, my junior brother has not found it, or the real murderer has not been found, you are the most suspicious. But even if you are not the murderer, I will kill you."
"Why?"
"Have you forgotten what happened in Si'anli? Did you kill Zhao Chun? Did you kill Jiu Ye?"
"What does they have to do with you?" Qi Wufei asked pretending to be unaware of it.
Pan Zimo said: "You don't have to worry about what their relationship with me. I will only ask you, are you killing Zhao Chun and Jiu Ye?"
When Pan Zimo said this, Qi Wufei was not very worried.
Jiu Ye has now been characterized as a demon by the Heavenly Court and has become a typical demonic figure. Miyun Sect will never admit that Jiu Ye is an insider of the sect.
If Pan Zimo was determined to kill Qi Wufei, there was no need to keep it secret at this time. Either he didn't say a word and just started to take action. Or he made the matter clear and let the opponent die clearly. He avoided talking and did not take action directly, which means that his intention to kill was not serious.
Qi Wufei said: "I don't know what you have to do with them. You can avenge them, but I must explain it clearly. You may not know what Jiu Ye did. I tell you that he raised demon mosquitoes in Si'anli, used a large number of poor people gathered in the slums and sucked human blood. I don't know how many people have been killed in these years! Now more than 200,000 people in Si'anli are homeless, and the government is mobilizing the whole city to demolish and resettlement, all thanks to Jiu Ye. The Heavenly Court has issued a notice that he is a big devil. This time he was strangled by many immortal sect masters in Nalan City, Immortal Shield Detective. I dare not take credit. As for Zhao Chun, he insisted on killing me, and I killed him belongs to self-defense. Do you know what self-defense is?"
Pan Zimo said: "Even if they are wrong, it is true that you kill them. If you have any last words, please tell me quickly. Because you are honest and have no intention of making money and killing people, I can promise not to hurt your soul and let you reincarnate. What unfulfilled wishes do you have? It depends on my mood that may help you."
When Qi Wufei heard this, he felt that Pan Zimo was indeed a good person. He was completely different from Fu Hongsheng and Tulawen and was not the same type of person. But this did not change his view of the Miyun Sect. It was no coincidence that there were so many scums in a sect, Fu Hongsheng, Tulawen and Jiuye. On the contrary, Pan Zimo might be an alien among them.
He decided to take the risk and said, "I think you are also an open and honest person. Otherwise, let's make a bet and make an agreement?"
