Chapter 947 Three Suspects
Lan Ting came to the guest room to deliver clothes. Although he didn't need the clothes, he couldn't just let Lan Ting leave. It was rude.
"Junior Sister Lan, come in and sit down?"
"Okay." Lan Ting walked in and found a half-eaten spiritual fruit at the door.
"I didn't hold it firmly just now and accidentally dropped it on the ground." Lu Yang took the spirit fruit and said sheepishly, wiped it clean and started eating.
Both of them jumped onto the chairs with great effort, and Lu Yang took the initiative to talk about shrinking.
"Have you found out who killed Laurel?"
This kind of culprit caused him to shrink, and Lu Yang vowed to bring him to justice after catching him!
"Not yet. According to the investigation, it was found that a total of thirty-six laurel trees have been drugged. They have become larger or smaller, and there are trees of various ages. The ones you cut down to make moon cake fillings and senior brother are two of them. ”
Lu Yang helplessly held his forehead. There were laurel trees all over the mountains and plains of the Immortal Palace. He randomly picked one that was growing vigorously, but he didn't expect that it had been drugged.
What luck.
Immortal Palace also knew that this was a matter of luck and had nothing to do with Lu Yang.
If this matter had something to do with Lu Yang, then Lu Yang would probably have to live next door to Xue Shilou for a while, but the two of them just happened to be exchanging kendo experiences, so it wasn't necessarily a disaster.
"Also, when the inventory of the alchemy room was checked, dozens of precious medicinal materials were missing, and some medicinal stains were found on the laurel trees that had been drugged."
"The alchemy room counts the inventory every two months, and then goes down the mountain to purchase daily necessities. That's why no medicinal materials were found missing."
"Is it really the work of someone inside the Immortal Palace?"
The place where the medicinal materials are stored must be protected by multiple formations. The medicinal materials can be stolen through multiple layers of formations, either by immortals or people inside the Immortal Palace.
"Master is investigating the suspects one by one. There is nothing gained so far."
"And Master can't figure out why the thief wanted to experiment with laurel trees and what his purpose was."
Although Lanting wanted to help Master solve his problems, it was a pity that she was only a child now and could not help.
"How many suspects are there now?" Although Lu Yang's body has become smaller and all his magic power has been lost, he thinks that his brain is still good, and maybe he can find some clues from it.
Lan Ting felt that it was nothing to explain this kind of thing to Senior Brother Lu Yang in detail, and counted on his fingers: "There are three in total, namely Elder Miao who was in charge of the alchemy room before, Elder Mei who is now in charge of the alchemy room, and Elder Mei's Senior disciple, Senior Sister Bai.”
"Only the three of them know how to open the formation and can enter and exit the alchemy room's medicine storehouse at will."
"Actually, Master Qu Lingshi's uncle, as the previous generation sect master, also knows how to activate the formation, but she is currently imprisoned in the Sinner's Palace and cannot escape. It must not be her."
"Although it is not certain who stole the precious medicinal materials, the time can be determined."
"How to say?"
"Every time the formation is opened and entered into the medicine warehouse, it is recorded. At what time, who opened the formation, and what medicinal materials were taken away."
"According to statistics, during the past two months, a total of sixteen formations were opened, eight of which were opened by Senior Sister Bai, six by Elder Mei, and two by Elder Miao."
"The thief must have started it this time!"
"Master investigated in detail what the three of them did that day."
Lan Ting struggled to pull out two spiritual fruits from the fruit plate in the middle of the table, one red and one blue, to represent the suspects. Lu Yang knowingly handed the half-eaten spiritual fruit to Lan Ting, so that she did not have to work hard to pull out the third spiritual fruit. fruit.
Lanting lined up two complete spiritual fruits and half a spiritual fruit.
She pushed the red spirit fruit forward: "Elder Miao is good at the art of clones. The art of clones is so good that others at the same level cannot detect the authenticity."
"Originally, she traveled around after retirement, looking for opportunities to break through, but she happened to return to the sect one and a half months ago. It is said that she came back to borrow money because she owed a huge debt. But how many spiritual stones did she owe and whether she borrowed any It’s hard to tell if it’s enough.”
"On the day of the incident, Elder Miao was reminiscing with another retired elder and never left the cave."
Lan Ting pushed the blue spiritual fruit forward: "As the current manager of the alchemy room, Elder Mei has always been very busy, and the day of the crime was no exception. She said that she had been staying in the room thinking about the new elixir recipe and thinking about this year. What is the shape of the mooncake? She only left the room twice, saying she was going outside to find inspiration, but no one saw her outside the alchemy room. "
The remaining half of the spirit fruit naturally represents Senior Sister Bai: "Senior Sister Bai was refining alchemy that day. When three junior sisters passed by the alchemy room, they saw Senior Sister Bai refining alchemy through the window paper."
"The elixir refined by Senior Sister Bai is called the Nine-Hearted Lotus Seed Pill. It takes a whole day to refine. You must not be distracted during this period. It is impossible to leave the elixir furnace."
"The Nine-Hearted Lotus Seed Pill is a very difficult pill to refine. Even Senior Sister Bai only has a 10% chance of refining it successfully. Senior Sister Bai was in good condition that day and she made it. She even showed off to several senior sisters afterwards."
"During the investigation, another thing was discovered. A week before the disappearance of the medicinal materials, Senior Sister Bai and Elder Mei had a big argument. Senior Sister Bai applied to Elder Mei for three precious medicinal materials to refine the elixir and improve the level of alchemy. However, Elder Mei thinks that Senior Sister Bai is not good enough and the refining will definitely fail, so Senior Sister Bai’s application was not approved.”
"Coincidentally, these three precious medicinal materials are on the list of stolen elixirs."
After Lu Yang listened, he looked thoughtful and thought carefully that none of the three people had alibi.
Elder Miao is good at the art of clones, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. He may use another elder as an alibi.
Elder Mei claimed to have left the room and went out in search of inspiration, but there were no witnesses.
Senior Sister Bai must not be distracted while refining the elixir, but the three witnesses, Junior Sister, all saw it through the window paper, and the figure they saw was not necessarily Senior Sister Bai.
And there is a motive for the crime.
Lu Yang lowered his head and curled up an intriguing smile.
This is the so-called dark bar under the lamp.
"Senior brother, what have you thought of?" Lan Ting must have discovered some clues when he saw Lu Yang acting like this!
"Xiaolan, I know who stole it."
"These three people seem to be suspicious, but in fact they are not. Since the three of them have records of going to the medicine warehouse to take away medicinal materials, they can take advantage of the opportunity to enter the medicine warehouse and take the medicines they want. There is no need for a second time. Entering the formation seventeen times to leave traces!"
"The only explanation is that it wasn't these three people who did it!"
"Junior sister Lan, you just said that Qu Ling, as the former palace master, knows how to unlock the medicine storehouse formation. Does that mean that the current palace master also knows how to unlock the formation?"
Lu Yang showed a painful expression. Although the answer was very bad for Junior Sister Lanting, this is the truth, and it is the cruel truth that Junior Sister Lanting must face!
"In this case, the answer is obvious. The person who committed the crime is Luo..."
Before Lu Yang finished speaking, he heard the immortal fairy in the spiritual space using his immortal consciousness to see a surprising scene: "Hey, why is that little girl Bai Ye drugging the laurel tree?"(End of this chapter)
