Chapter 24: The Truth (Seeking Recommendations, Favorites)

  Remember in one second, wonderful internet for free!

  Ma Gun was now drenched in sweat, his face deathly pale, gritting his teeth to endure the intense pain in his chest.

  Yi Tian took a glance and didn't think much of it. He said to the black cow, "Black Cow, go make a phone call to report the police, I'll handle things here!"

  "Alright!"

  As the black cow was about to leave, Yi Tian turned his head around and took out a small glass bottle from his pocket. He dropped a drop of fresh blood from the hemp stem into it.

  He immediately sat down on the sofa and asked Ma Gang, who was lying on the ground: "I'll ask you a few questions, and you must answer honestly. Did you hear that?"

  "Hmph, you little brat want to know what? I won't say anything, even if the police come, it's self-defense. Zhang Lao San came to my house and attacked me, and he had a weapon in his bag. At most, I'll spend a few years in prison and then get out! Haha..." Ma Geng said loudly, enduring the pain.

  "Hahaha...…", Yi Tian laughed even more happily, "Alright, let's do it one by one! I'll ask you, did you kill Zhang Lao Wu?"

  Upon hearing this, Ma Gan's expression changed and he became flustered. He didn't say much, then turned his head to the side and assumed a "I'd rather die than tell" attitude.

  Yi Tian saw this and hummed in his heart, slowly saying: "Good, I'll ask you again, did you kill Liu Yinying?"

  Ma Gan turned his head in confusion and looked at Yi Tian, how did this kid know so much?

  "No!" Ma Gao replied firmly.

  Yi Tian shook his head with a smile and said: "I agree!"

  "What? Who saw me kill him?" Ma Gao roared.

  "I saw it!" Yi Tian took out the half-burned sweater from his pocket and said, "This is the sweater Liu Yinyin was wearing when she was killed. There's even her hair on it. I witnessed you killing her with my own eyes!"

  Framed by others, Ma's anger suddenly rose to the surface. Just as he was about to shout loudly, a sharp pain shot through his chest and he let out a stifled groan. When the pain had slightly subsided, he said: "You're talking nonsense! I didn't kill Liu Yinying, it was Zhang Lao San who killed her!"

  "Oh? Is that so? But why did I see that you killed Liu Yingying and buried her body in the north mountain valley? The place where she was buried also had a hundred-year-old pine tree and a one-meter square stone block!" Yi Tian said calmly.

  "You... how did you know the body was there?" Ma Gou's face showed extreme surprise, not expecting Yi Tian to know even this. He immediately retorted, "You... you're framing me! Liu Yinyin wasn't killed by me, it was Zhang Lao San who killed her and then I dug her up again and found a place to bury her! Liu Yinyin's death has nothing to do with me!"

  Yi Tian smiled and said, "Now that we have both human evidence and material evidence, Liu Yinying's head is still on Beishan. As for the time and location, I can describe them in great detail. When the police arrive later, do you think they will believe you or the evidence in my hands?"

  Ma Gan was suddenly flustered after hearing this, and it was indeed as Yi Tian said that if Yi Tian wanted to frame him, he wouldn't have any room for defense.

  The furious Miao Gun, unable to control his emotions, let out a loud roar: "Ah... I'm going to kill you!" As he spoke, he crawled forward, using his weak body to try and attack Yi Tian.

  Seeing this, Yi Tian also didn't show any courtesy and kicked him back with one foot. He immediately said: "If you don't want me to wrong you, that's fine too. I still have some evidence in my hands that can prove it was Zhang Lao San who did it. However, as a condition, you must confess honestly how you killed Zhang Lao Wu."

  At this time, Ma Geng's mind was a complete blank. The choice of either option would ultimately lead to a dead end. Seeing Yi Tian trying to get him to admit to killing Zhang Lao Wu, Ma Geng sneered: "Heh heh, I won't let you have your way. Anyway, it's all the same whether I die or not. You think I killed Liu Yingying, so what? Ah, are you after that 10,000 yuan reward? Hmph, I'll tell you, as long as I don't say anything, no one can prove that Zhang Lao Wu was killed by me! Haha..."

  Just as Ma Gao burst out laughing, Yi Tian said: "You look very happy, but you made me a bit unhappy!" Then he shook the transparent glass bottle containing Ma Gao's blood. "What's inside is your blood! Do you know what I'm going to use it for?"

  He didn't respond when he saw Ma Gang, so Yi Tian adjusted his collar and sat up straight, saying: "Right, I forgot to introduce myself. I am one of the candidates for the position of leader of the Wudang Sect. I know the heavens, the earth, ghosts, and gods. I understand human life and death. All kinds of martial arts are gathered in my body. My divination skills are unparalleled. From the moment I saw you, I suspected that Zhang Lao Wu's death had a great deal to do with you. So I've been paying attention to you, and finally discovered your motive for murder!

  "Since you don't want to admit it, I won't persuade you anymore. However, if you offend me, you'd better think about where your soul will go after death. I'm most skilled in the art of controlling ghosts, and with this drop of blood, I can summon your soul to my side at any time. As for what kind of treatment you'll receive then... I dare not guarantee it!"

  Ma Gan was a little afraid in his heart. He might know more about the dangers of mysticism and divination than ordinary people. "How can you prove that what you said is true?"

  "Hmph, why should I prove it to you? If you don't believe me, try it yourself!" Yi Tian's eyes narrowed into a hook-like shape as he stared at his opponent, exuding an overwhelming aura.

  At this time, Ma Gong was really helpless. As long as Yi Tian framed him, the crime of killing Liu Yinying would be pinned on his head. However, according to Yi Tian's words, in exchange for letting him reveal the fact that he killed Zhang Lao Wu, it was still a dead end.

  Now it's fine, if you don't admit it, another blood will be shed, according to Yitian's meaning, who knows what kind of persecution we will suffer in the future.

  He let out a long sigh and didn't want to keep arguing with Yi Tian either. Whether he admitted it or not, it was all the same. Why would he still put his own soul into unpredictable danger?

  "Alright...... I'll say it!" Mashiro said with a lack of energy.

  Yitian was speechless at this moment, with an expression that seemed to say "whether I speak or not is up to me".

  Ma Gan continued: "I... I was born with a physical defect, this matter except my family knows, no one else knows, once I got drunk and accidentally told Zhang Lao Wu."

  "Afterwards, I also told him not to tell others, and he agreed, because he is my good friend, so I was quite at ease. But when drinking with Zhang Lao San, I found out that he still told others, and even let several people hear it, at that time, I had the heart to kill!"

  "One day, I sent him a message saying there was an emergency and lured him over. I put a hypnotic drug in the tea he drank, then killed him and dismembered his body into two parts."

  "Just as I was about to leave the dump, I unexpectedly saw Zhang Lao San carrying a sack in a sneaky manner. At that time, seeing him alone, I really thought of killing him too, but feeling that what he was carrying was very strange, somewhat like a human shape, and then seeing his flustered expression, only then did I confirm that there was a person inside!"

  "After he left, I dug out the sack and opened it, only to find that it was Liu Yingying!"

  "What happened afterwards, I think you should know!"

  Yi Tian nodded slightly and asked: "Was it also you who made Zhang Lao Wu's body appear in the garbage dump again?"

  "That's right, this way it will be easier for people to discover, so that Zhang Lao Wu can rebury again, and then let Zhang Lao San see Liu Yingying's body in the coffin. This is my last warning to him, so he'll hurry up and give me 300,000!"

  As things have developed to this point today, all the cases and mysteries have been solved.

  But Yitian still had one thing that was very puzzling, "How did you scatter Zhang Laowu's soul?"

  "It's using the Soul-Scattering Charm!" Ma Geng said as he took out the Soul-Scattering Charm from his bosom and handed it to Yi Tian.

  The person who can create such a talisman is absolutely extraordinary. After carefully examining it for a few moments, Yi Tian asked: "Where did you get this talisman from?"

  "It was I who encountered a master in the county and bought it back at a great price!"

  "What's his name?" Yi Tian frowned and asked.

  "He said he was from Maiyimen... and his name is Hong Tao!"
