Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 397: Chapter 206: I Am the Murderer! Don’t Be So Cowardly! (Ask for Monthly Tickets)

Is there a third person involved with Shenmu?

Yuchi explained:

”First, we need to clarify one point, which is that Ling Huzhong himself was investigating the missing persons case.”

”And if the missing persons case was indeed linked to the Demon-slaying Bureau, is it possible that Ling Huzhong was entirely unaware?”

”Is Star-gazing Platform really that foolish?”

Yuchi glanced at Song Yinghan, uncertain.

Song Yinghan decisively shook his head: ”All of us at Star-gazing Platform are smart!”

Yuchi nodded, a bit of worry in his eyes, but Song Yinghan still said embarrassedly: ”If he was investigating the missing persons case and the ultimate result pointed to the Demon-slaying Bureau, he should know something about it.”

Laughing and nodding, Yuchi continued following Song Yinghan’s line of thought:

”So knowing some details, he wouldn’t completely trust the Demon-slaying Bureau. Therefore, if we force an explanation saying Ling Huzhong obviously had evidence of the Demon-slaying Bureau’s crimes but was unaware, leading to him being deceived by the big shots of the Demon-slaying Bureau and taken away to be killed... that seems rather far-fetched.”

”So possibly, the culprit behind the missing persons case is not someone from the Demon-slaying Bureau, but another person entirely, whose prowess compelled the Demon-slaying Bureau to kill Ling Huzhong.”

Song Yinghan stared at Yuchi in shock, nearly frightened out of her wits.

Yuchi rubbed his eyes, ensuring the mark was still there, then spoke lightly with slight seriousness:

”Breaking it down, three things cannot be forgotten.”

”First, the protagonist Ling Huzhong cannot be forgotten.”

”Second, the big shot from the Demon-slaying Bureau cannot be forgotten.”

”Third, the numerous missing persons cases in Canglan City cannot be forgotten.”

The first two points represent two people.

Could the missing persons case itself lure out a third person?

Learning some missing persons case clues unbeknownst and the main culprit of the missing persons case gets wind of this, fearing exposure, then frames Ling Huzhong, managing to divert Demon-slaying Bureau to target Ling Huzhong, allowing him to escape unscathed.

Even if revealed, the Demon-slaying Bureau would take the fall, ensuring his safety.

Many things begin with conjecture, then verification.

It’s like conducting an experiment, always guessing what might happen first, probing with doubts to confirm one’s thoughts, rather than simply staring blankly, stifling curiosity.

Song Yinghan:

”0v0”

Beautiful woman, what expression is that... Yuchi couldn’t help but laugh.

Unhurriedly, he still said:

”Finally, an example, similar rules with slight differences. This time, I’m still Ling Huzhong, you’re still with the Demon-slaying Bureau, and it... it is the person linked to the massive Canglan City missing persons case.”

Yuchi took the chestnut in his hand, considering it ”it,” treating it as the third person, and clenched it in his palm.

Then slowly spoke:

”If there’s a third person, what situation would it present?”

”Firstly, I’m still investigating the missing persons case normally, repeatedly tossing back and forth through luck or other factors, having found substantial clues regarding the Canglan City missing persons case.”

”At this moment, it appeared, this chestnut learned of this news silently, like a startled bird, fearing.

”Would it choose to stand out, using its own hand to kill me? Certainly not. The death of a Star-gazing Platform disciple is no small matter. Someone daring to harbor murderous intent against me must be powerful, and surely aware Star-gazing Platform would investigate.”

”Therefore, it wouldn’t act from its own volition. If I were it, coincidentally having Demon-slaying Bureau under control, I’d seek out Demon-slaying Bureau.”

”There, it might have you Song Yinghan’s weakness, much like Xun Yu at the time, controlling you Song Yinghan, forcing you to approach me, thus killing me, while I remain oblivious to past grievances between us, naturally trusting you, ultimately allowing it to use the Demon-slaying Bureau to kill me.”

Song Yinghan understood!

She truly grasped Yuchi’s intention.

No regulation limits a murder case to just two-party relationships, implicating potential framing, but Yuchi’s bold hypothesis at this moment is genuinely impressive.
