Ultimate Devouring System novel - chapter 24 Suspect

chapter 24 Suspect

“I hope your plan is as perfect as you say it is.” Xue Qingqing also heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Chen Family did not have any evidence, that did not mean that Chen Song was killed by the Ye Family.

Tonight, the Ye Family was peaceful, but not the same.

At this time, in the great hall of Chen Family, there was a coffin lying quietly inside. The one who was shot in the head by Ye Xuan was Chen Family Chen Song.

Around the coffin sat the higher ups of the Chen Family.

“Patriarch, this must be the doing of the Ye Family!” One of the Chen Family’s higher ups said.

Chen Family was one of the Four Large Families, and for all these years, none of the disciples of Chen Family were killed. But today, the nephew of the Chen Family’s Patriarch actually died, which made people think that it was the Ye Family who killed him.

“I think so too, but Chen Song’s death has many suspicious points.”

The patriarch of Chen Family, Chen Xiang frowned. After a pause, he continued, “One, Chen Song was killed by the arrow qi. Two, the killer shot him from at least fifty meters away. Third, the Ye Family did not have the motive to kill Chen Song, could it be that the only person Chen Song killed was Ye Xuan, the maid?

“Then Patriarch’s meaning is that someone wants to blame Ye Family?” The higher ups of the Chen Family said.

“There is such a possibility, but the Ye Family cannot not be completely unsuspecting either. This could also be a method the Ye Family used to confuse us! Other than the three doubtful points just now, there is another point. My Lianyun City doesn’t seem to have a high level Warrior who use bows and arrows, we just relied on our spirit energy to condense and shoot Chen Song to death. This is at least the sixth stage of Martial Dao, or perhaps even a fifth stage Arrow-type Martial Arts. ” Chen Xiang was still frowning.

Chen Song was his nephew and also one of the four prodigies of Chen Family.

When everyone heard this, they silently nodded their heads.

Indeed, the Lianyun City had never heard of any experts who used bows and arrows.

“Patriarch, even if the experts from the other clans practice archery, we don’t know.” “Besides, this killer could have come from somewhere else. What should we do?” someone asked.

However, since you dared to kill the disciples of my Chen Family, I will definitely not let you go so easily.

As Chen Xiang spoke, he angrily turned his head and said, “You all send people to the various great families to investigate and see if there are any external Strongman s.”

“Yes sir!”

The group of people all left.

After they left, Chen Xiang didn’t leave. He sat on the chair and muttered, “Dammit. Second brother will be back tomorrow. I wonder what will happen if he finds out that his son died.”

On the second day, the news of Chen Song’s death had also directly spread, spreading to the various great families and Ye Family.

After finding out about this, Ye Zhang and the four clan elders were shocked as they hurried back into Ye Xuan’s house.

“Ye Xuan, Chen Song’s death, was it you?”

Once Ye Zhang entered, he went straight to the point.

At this time, Ye Xuan, Xue Qingqing and Liu’er were sitting in the courtyard drinking their morning tea. When Ye Xuan heard this, he was also stunned, and asked: “Chen Song died?”

“Ye Xuan, our family did not say anything, did you kill him?” Ye Zhang asked.

Liu’er, who was at the side, was also shocked as she turned to look at Ye Xuan.

“No!” Ye Xuan shook his head.

This answer also disrupted Ye Zhang’s thoughts. He frowned: “Last night, when Chen Song was going out, he was shot through the head with an arrow and died in one shot!”

“It’s good that he’s dead. He deserves to die!” Ye Xuan replied indifferently.

He was the one who killed them personally, but he felt that it was better not to let Ye Zhang and the others know.

“But why do I feel like you’re the one who killed them?”

Ye Zhang’s brows tightly knitted, and continued to speak: “According to what the people at the scene said, at that time, there were still two Fourth Peak Level guards behind Chen Song, but he was actually shot and killed by a bow and arrow tens of meters away. His archery skills were outstanding, and even a Warrior at the peak of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao was unable to react to react to it. “Thus, I speculate that the person who killed him is at least at the sixth stage of Martial Dao, and that he is proficient in archery or possesses fifth rank Martial Arts.”

“Uncle, there is a limit to my suspicions. Firstly, I am not at the sixth stage of the Martial Dao, secondly, I have never touched a bow or arrow, and thirdly, I don’t have a fifth rank Archer’s Martial Arts. Why would you suspect me?” Ye Xuan put down the teacup and asked slowly.

Ye Zhang was also stunned.

Indeed, Ye Xuan did not fulfill a condition, but why did he feel that Ye Xuan killed him?

“Other than you, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone else wanting to kill Chen Song. Furthermore, your performance is too calm. ” The First Presbyter of Family said.

“Great Elder, is it that Chen Song is dead and I should be scared? It’s not like I was the one who killed them! ” Ye Xuan remained calm and collected.

“You really didn’t kill him?” Ye Zhang asked suspiciously.

“No!” Ye Xuan shook his head, refusing to admit it even if he was beaten to death.

Although Ye Zhang and the four clan elders felt that something was amiss with Ye Xuan, it turned out that Ye Xuan did not have the ability to accomplish this, so they could only choose to believe it.

After they left, before Xue Qingqing could even open her mouth, Liu’er quietly whispered, “Young Master, thank you!”

“Silly girl.” Ye Xuan only laughed, and did not say much.

Chen Song’s death had already spread throughout the entire Lianyun City, and Chen Family had sent people there, but to no avail.

Ye Xuan originally thought that this matter would end like this, but on the third day after Chen Song’s death, a letter suddenly arrived in his hands.

“Who sent this?” Ye Xuan looked at this Ye Family guard in shock.

“This humble one is also not very clear. The person who delivered the letter was only a errand runner, but he said that this letter was going to be opened by you personally, Young Master!” The Ye Family guard shook his head.

“Alright, you may leave.”

Ye Xuan nodded.

Ye Xuan felt that there shouldn’t be anyone who would write to him, and furthermore, the letter in his hand did not write anything, which made him surprised.

He opened the envelope and took out the letter. After he finished reading the contents of the letter, a surge of spiritual power gushed out and forcibly shattered the letter.

“Young Master, what’s wrong?”

Liu’er who was sewing a set for Ye Xuan while sitting on a stone chair asked in surprise.

“Liu Er, how long has Qing Qing been gone for?” Ye Xuan squinted his eyes and asked.

“Sister Qingqing has already been gone for more than four hours. Young Master, could it be that something happened to Sister Qingqing?” Liu’er asked.

Ye Xuan forced out a smile and said: “No, that girl wants to buy things but didn’t bring money. She called me over, Liu’er, you stay at home, I was just about to go out and buy things for Young Master.”

“Yes.”

Liu’er nodded obediently and didn’t think too much about it.
