C15 Find the Murderer

The death of Zhang Lin had greatly stimulated Wu Di. In the past, Zhang Lin treated him like a brother, leaving everything good to him. Now that Zhang Lin had died mysteriously, how could Wu Di remain calm?

After he put Zhang Lin down, he said coldly, "Don't think that I won't be able to find the murderer if you hide. Zhang Lin is my good brother. I won't let this matter rest if he dies."

Wu Di had three days to investigate the cause of Zhang Lin's death. In these three days, he must find the murderer and use the murderer's life to pay tribute to the deceased Zhang Lin.

Manager Chen sighed and said, "This Zhang Lin usually does his work in silence. He has never offended anyone. How could he suddenly..."

"I know." Wu Di said coldly.

"Do you know who the murderer is?" Manager Chen asked in surprise.

Wu Di glanced at Manager Chen and his assistant. In the entire Spirit Medicine Garden, other than him, only Manager Chen and his assistant, Ah Chen, were in the Refinement Stage.

Zhang Lin had always been very loyal to his duty. Why didn't he die sooner or later? When he came back to find Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin died. This could only prove one thing. Yesterday, when he was talking to Zhang Lin, someone was eavesdropping outside.

When Wu Di went to the waterfall, he secretly hid the low grade spirit stone in Zhang Lin's basket backpack, which was used to store tools. He knew that Zhang Lin wouldn't want it, but he didn't want to disappoint him. That was why he used this method.

He believed that someone was coveting that low-grade spirit stone. That was why they wanted to sneak into the house to search for spirit stones when he went to the waterfall to cultivate. Perhaps it was due to Zhang Lin's misfortune that he was discovered and killed in a hurry.

Wu Di walked to Zhang Lin's small basket backpack and searched inside. Finally, he took out the small bag containing spirit stones.

He deliberately took out the spirit stones in front of everyone. Those who hadn't seen it all craned their necks to look. Wu Di's eyes were still on Manager Chen and Ah Chen.

Manager Chen was indeed envious when he saw the spirit stone, but he was only envious for a moment. Very quickly, he returned to normal. Only Ah Chen's eyes were staring at the spirit stone with a deep desire. This was simply insane.

Wu Di already knew what was going on. He quickly walked up to Ah Chen and grabbed his wrist. Ah Chen cried out in pain, "Wu Di, what are you doing?"

"I should have asked you that. Ah Chen, you came here last night, didn't you?" Wu Di asked with a gloomy face.

When Manager Chen heard this, he immediately reacted. He asked uncertainly, "Wu Di, is there a misunderstanding? Ah Chen can't possibly..."

"That's right. How could I come here? You are clearly slandering me." Ah Chen saw that Manager Chen was excusing him, so he immediately refuted.

Wu Di said, "Did I say you are the murderer of Zhang Lin? You are in such a hurry, is it because there is no money in this place?"

Ah Chen was speechless. At this time, everyone looked at him suspiciously.

In this situation, of course, Ah Chen would not deny anything. He immediately said, "Manager Chen, I am innocent. How could I kill Ah Chen? I don't have such a reason."

"Of course I did. It was this low grade spirit stone that brought Zhang Lin a fatal disaster. If I had known that it was a crime to have a treasure, I wouldn't have done such a thing now."

"Wu Di, don't think that you can malign someone just because you have become an inner sect disciple. You said that I killed Zhang Lin, so I have to give you some evidence."

"Evidence? Of course I have. I was just not sure about it before, but after I have confirmed the murderer, is it still difficult to find evidence?" Wu Di grabbed Ah Chen as he spoke. "Do you dare to take off your shoes?"

Ah Chen was naturally unwilling. However, Manager Chen was not a vegetarian. He had to give everyone an explanation.

Under Manager Chen's orders, two servants came in and stopped Ah Chen. Then, they took off his shoes and said to everyone. Spirit Medicine Garden is usually foggy at night, so the soil here is softer than usual. Everyone can look around the thatched cottage. See if there are footprints. "Check if the size of the shoes matches the soil. We'll know if Ah Chen came here last night."

After listening to Wu Di's words, Manager Chen brought his men outside to check. After a while, they found a row of shallow footprints. They took Ah Chen's shoes to verify. Not only did the footprints match, but the dirt marks on them were also the same.

"Ah Chen, why did you kill Zhang Lin?" Manager Chen asked with a gloomy face.

Ah Chen immediately shouted, "Manager Chen, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. I was sleeping in the house last night. How could I kill Zhang Lin? It must be Wu Di who framed me. He lives with Zhang Lin. Who knows if this man was killed by Wu Di?"

In an instant, the spearhead was pointed at Wu Di. Wu Di said calmly, "I spent the whole night practicing at the waterfall. I just came back. If you don't believe me, you can look at the wound on my body that was washed by the waterfall. How long will it take to create this wound? I think anyone who knows a little bit of medical skills can tell. "

In order to get rid of the suspicion, Wu Di pulled out the clothes on his upper body. His body was covered in purple and purple. Manager Chen went forward to check and confirmed that this was indeed a wound that had been repeatedly washed by the huge impact. It was impossible to create such an injury in such a short period of time.

Wu Di walked up to Ah Chen with his bare arms. He said with a cold smile, "Do you think I am the only one? Is that the only clue? In fact, Zhang Lin had already left a clue for me before he died."

Ah Chen looked at Wu Di in shock. He didn't believe what Wu Di said in his heart, but it seemed like he was right and right, as if he really had evidence. He couldn't help but panic.

At this moment, Wu Di walked to Zhang Lin's side and grabbed his left hand. When Zhang Lin died, he clenched his fists tightly. No one had touched his body even after he was found dead.

Although Wu Di was very sad about Zhang Lin's death, he still forcefully pried open Zhang Lin's hand. In his hand, there was a small piece of cloth.

When Ah Chen saw the cloth, he subconsciously injured the two people who were suppressing him and ran outside.

Wu Di was even faster. Not long after he ran out, he blocked Ah Chen's way. "Do you really think you can leave so easily after killing Zhang Lin?"

"Wu Di, what do you think you are? Even if you are an outer circle disciple now, you were nothing compared to a fart in Spirit Medicine Garden." Ah Chen roared angrily.

Anyone could tell what he was talking about. How sour is that? Compared to Wu Di, Ah Chen had already entered the intermediate stage of Qi Refining, but because he was over fifteen years old, he had lost the right to participate in the selection.

The path of cultivation was merciless. Whether one had the resources to pass the time or not, they could not break through the bottleneck. All of these contributed to the regret of countless cultivators.

Wu Di remained silent. It was all thanks to Lee Hong that he was able to participate in the selection this time. Although he had ulterior motives, he had given him such a precious opportunity in the end. However, Ah Chen should not blame the heavens for not having a chance. He should not even covet something that did not belong to him. It would be a waste of his life.

He didn't waste any more time. He attacked Ah Chen directly, using his own strength to defeat Ah Chen, who had already entered the Mid Qi Refinement realm, and escorted him back to Manager Chen.

Of course, Manager Chen dealt with this matter seriously. However, because Ah Chen had followed him for many years, he didn't kill Ah Chen in the end. Instead, he chased him out of the Seven Star Sect, and let him go to the secular world to fend for himself.

"Wu Di, I'm also responsible for this matter. If I had known earlier, such a tragedy wouldn't have happened." Manager Chen didn't want to be Wu Di's enemy, so he could only use these words to comfort Wu Di.

Wu Di shook his head and said, "It is all because of me. If I hadn't brought back the spirit stones, perhaps Zhang Lin wouldn't have been killed. In short, I owe him my whole life."

This favor couldn't be repaid, which meant that he would become Wu Di's inner demon in the future. Of course, this was only a matter of time. Wu Di did not ask anyone to help him. He buried Zhang Lin with his own hands and swore in front of Zhang Lin's grave that he would keep his promise.

"You are really a strange person to promise fame and fortune to a dead man." Just as Wu Di was feeling sad, a voice sounded behind him.
