Chapter 586: Chapter 502: Xiu Sect_3
In the end, there was Qu Muzhi. This guy had always been trying to figure out his identity, and he was a notoriously crazy man. It wasn’t entirely impossible for him, in a moment of desperation, to design a test to probe, especially when a few insignificant lives were at stake, which to those like him as an Angel Envoy, truly didn’t matter.
After compiling all the information, Yang Xiao felt the likelihood of the Resentment Sect being behind all this was 60 percent, Mo Daidai 35 percent, and the remaining last five percent went to Qu Muzhi.
Waiting was torturous. He had waited for a whole day, and it wasn’t until the night of the next day that someone came to see him in his room.
The visitor was none other than Qu Muzhi. This man was not one for courtesies. Sitting down, he went straight to the point, "Captain Yang, I checked your file. Before you joined us, you accidentally triggered a paranormal incident in a chain hotel. Do you remember?"
"Yes, it was a Ghost Dream. All the guests on that floor, including myself, were trapped in the Ghost Dream. I think if the Patrol Defense Office hadn’t intervened in time, there might have been significant casualties, and those who would have died probably looked similar to Boss Wu’s family." Knowing what Qu Muzhi wanted to ask, Yang Xiao simply came out with it.
"We questioned people linked to last night, including the drama store owner and Chen Long, who was detained by Captain Wu. Overall, the clues are highly unfavorable to you. We have grounds to suspect that you, angered by the losses in your drama store franchise, intentionally sought revenge, leading to the victims’ untimely deaths."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao suddenly laughed, "Captain Qu, do you believe that?"
"No," Qu Muzhi said, "but the evidence points that way, so... I’m afraid we’ll need Captain Yang’s cooperation."
"How should I cooperate?" asked Yang Xiao.
After a pause, Qu Muzhi’s voice grew grave, his eyes fixed on Yang Xiao’s reaction, "How many Resentful Eyes are on Captain Yang’s person?"
"Two," Yang Xiao answered.
Upon hearing this, Qu Muzhi shook his head, "I think not just two. As far as I know, the two Resentful Eyes you’ve registered, one being clothing and one a lantern, are assistive magic artifacts. That you could directly confront and kill an Evil Cultivator Venerable with just assistive artifacts seems insufficient. Do you have another offensive magic artifact on you that you can show me?"
With that statement, Yang Xiao understood what this guy was aiming at. He still suspected he was the mysterious person who previously abducted Tong Han. Forcing him to reveal his magic artifacts was to verify his suspicions.
Upon hearing this, a displeased look crossed Yang Xiao’s face, "Captain Qu, this is irrelevant to the case, isn’t it?"
"We won’t know if it’s related or not until we investigate. Please cooperate with us, Captain Yang. It’s for the best for all of us." Qu Muzhi didn’t give in, even the slight panic in Yang Xiao’s eyes made him more confident in his intuition.
In terms of methods, Yang Xiao might not be his match, but as for acting, Yang Xiao could tie up three generations of Qu Muzhi’s family and beat them single-handedly. What Qu Muzhi thought was the flaw he caught was intentionally revealed by Yang Xiao; complying right away would only raise suspicion.
"Captain Yang, please cooperate with my work. I have great respect for you, and I hope no unpleasantness occurs between us." Qu Muzhi slowly stood up, almost convinced that Yang Xiao was indeed the high-ranking officer of the Resentment Sect, Emperor Ye Xiao, and he vividly remembered the day of the prison break’s enmity.
"Okay then, but it can only be shown to you, and you must keep it confidential!" As tensions escalated, Yang Xiao was the first to retreat.
"Of course!" Qu Muzhi promised solemnly.
Yang Xiao reached into the backpack by his bed, his fingers brushed over the Drama Robe, and he felt the handle of the cleaver, pulling out the rusty cleaver.
At the sight of the cleaver, Qu Muzhi was stunned. He could feel the spiritual power emanating from the cleaver, which indicated that Yang Xiao was indeed its owner.
But... how could that be possible?
If the mysterious figure was indeed Yang Xiao, then, including this cleaver, he must have at least five magic artifacts!
No, not right, it’s six! That mysterious person had also gathered his strength for a powerful final strike, preparing for a direct confrontation, and the terrifying aura flowing toward him proved that the mysterious person held yet another most powerful offensive high-level magic device. The cleaver was not sufficient.
Seeing Qu Muzhi intently staring at the cleaver and not speaking for a long time, Yang Xiao figured this guy’s brain must have crashed. It’s not that he was inexperienced; it was just that his dear sister was too incredible.
Having six Resentful Eyes on his person, still lively and kicking, mentally sound, and enjoying meals – this was absolutely unimaginable for anyone else.
"Huh—" Qu Muzhi slowly exhaled, and his gaze towards Yang Xiao became much more sincere, "Captain Yang, it’s my duty, so please be more understanding."
"Can I put it away now?" Yang Xiao asked discontentedly.
"Of course, of course you can." Qu Muzhi nodded.
After confirming that Yang Xiao was not a mole planted inside their Patrol Defense Office by the Resentment Sect, Qu Muzhi explained the real situation, "Captain Yang, to be honest, I had doubted your identity before, but now, I must apologize for my rash actions."
"What on earth happened?" Yang Xiao pressed.
"Don’t worry, we’ve now discovered that there has been an Evil Cultivator organization behind this, and you were framed, just as you said. It’s a conspiracy aimed personally at you," Qu Muzhi explained, "This group of Evil Cultivators has been extremely malicious. Every step was meticulously planned, including my leading of the team that caught you at the crime scene."
"How did you know I was there?" This question had always troubled Yang Xiao, and he couldn’t stay silent about it.
