Chapter 209: Our Son Is a Genius (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Rong Yi and Yin Jinye came into the hall, only seeing a young man as fat as a pig waiting for them in the center of the hall.
On seeing them, that man immediately saluted to Yin Jinye, “I’m the leader of Haishan Town Guang Kunshan. My greetings, Lord Yin.”
Having transmigrated in here, this was the first time Rong Yi saw the leader of Haishan Town. Judging from his expression, he should know Yin Jinye’s real identity.Yin Jinye only opened his mouth after taking a seat, “What is it?”
“You know, recently a lot of cultivators got killed in our town and other towns nearby. They either got their souls sucked out, or their spiritual power absorbed. Using very vicious means! I guess only ghost cultivators, evil cultivators or beast cultivators would use such cruel arts. Other town leaders and I have sent people to get the case investigated, but got no clue. Until this morning some cultivators from different sects came to report the case to us, saying that it is Yan Qiushuang who killed those cultivators. She is from Mating Sect, and also the leader of Liyu Town. Now all those cultivators are demanding to take revenge for their fellow disciples.”
When Yin Jinye heard that only ghost cultivators, evil cultivators and beast cultivators would use such vicious arts, he slightly narrowed his eyes and asked blandly, “So you are here because you also think it’s Yan Qiushuang?”
“Well…I didn’t think it that way actually. But since so many people said they saw it was her, so…”
Rong Yi then asked, “How did they know it was Yan Qiushuang?”
“Some of them have ever seen her before.”
Rong Yi murmured to himself and then asked, “Where are those people?”Guang Kunshan hurriedly said, “They are right outside.”
Rong Yi then turned to Wen Chuan, “Let them in.”
“Yes.”
After thinking for a bit, Rong Yi added, “Let them in one by one.”
“Yes.” After leaving the hall for a moment, Wen Chuan brought in a female cultivator wearing a robe in purple and white.
Once the female cultivator entered into the yard, she immediately felt the pure spiritual qi here. While feeling amazed, she secretly sized up the layout of the whole place.
“Here we are.” Wen Chuan said to the young woman.
When she saw the three people in the hall, she felt a bit frightened.
Rong Yi then asked her, “So you are the one who saw that Yan Qiushuang killed people with your eyes?”
On thinking her dead fellow disciples, the female cultivator felt both angry and sad, “Yes.”
“Did you really see clearly who killed them?”
The female cultivator sulked, “I saw it clearly with my own eyes. She is the leader of Liyu Town!”
Rong Yi then asked, “So did you even see that little mole on her face?”
This question was to test whether she really saw it.
“The one who killed my peers doesn’t have a mole on her face, instead, she looks very pretty. She had a head of little plaits, wore a pink robe and used a whip as her magic weapon.”
It was really Yan Qiushuang judging from her description.
Rong Yi narrowed his eyes and asked, “Since you were there and saw her face, why didn’t she kill you?”
“I am not her. How would I know why she didn’t kill me?”
Rong Yi turned to Yin Jinye and asked, “Do you have any other questions to ask?”
Yin Jinye said, “No.”
Rong Yi then asked Wen Chuan, “Uncle Wen, bring him out. Next.”
“Yes.”
Then they let in six of them in in turns and their answers were more or less the same.
After letting them out, Rong Yi asked Yin Jinye, “So, what is your opinion on this?”
Yin Jinye took a sip of his tea and said, “If you mother didn’t kill anyone, while they really saw your mother kill people, I guess they might have gotten enchanted.”
Rong Yi nodded, “Hmm, but it doesn’t exclude the possibility that they are lying. Though they could clearly describe what my mother looks like, the might have already seen her before somewhere.”
Actually they could use Soul-searching arts to check whether they were lying or not. But if they didn’t agree, they shouldn’t force them. And hypnotism might not be an option. Though it could let them tell the truth, people would think it was cheating. Besides, since they all pointed out that his mother killed people, they should have made preparations for this before they came. So Soul-searching arts or hypnotism might not be able to help them get to the truth.
Yin Jinye then said, “What about let them see your mother first?”
Rong Yi then let Wen Chuan invite all the seven people in and call Yan Qiushuang out.
Once Yan Qiushuang entered into the hall, those seven cultivators immediately pointed at her, “It’s her! It is she who killed my fellow disciples!”
Yan Qiushuang got confused, “Yi’er, who are those people? Why do they all say I killed their people?”
Rong Yi said, “Recently a lot of cultivators got killed, and they all said that they saw it was you who did it.”
Yan Qiushuang was stoned, shouting, “I have been staying in here all the time! How is it possible it was me? Besides, if you were there when I killed them, do you think I would keep you alive and give you the opportunity to identify me?”
