Chapter 266: Chapter 229: This is the Truth_2
In fact, he had a headache too. Without Yue Qianqian, he, Peng Fulai, would have to do all the assistant work.
Xue Yunrou looked at Li Xuan’s somewhat sunken eye sockets and couldn’t help feeling heartbroken: "Xuan, why don’t we put these documents aside and take a break at Xuanwu Lake?"
She really wished he would stop being Fumo Duyu altogether. It was taxing and dangerous.
Luo Yan, who was far away, had no sympathy at all: "If you’re tired, why not just release Xiaowei Jiang? We already know who the murderer is, why are you still holding him?"
"Did Li Xuan identify the murderer? When did this happen?"
It was the first time Peng Fulai heard about it. He was first excited, and then confused: "Yeah, why is he still waiting? Li Xuan, didn’t you see how arrogant the people in the inner hall have been these days? I heard last night that they were almost certain about the murderer’s identity. If you know, there’s no need to watch as others receive the bounty set by Zongguan. It’s thirty meritorious services, even more than the Winged Devil.
"Naive! Without undeniable evidence, how could Shi Xin easily release him?"
Li Xuan chuckled, then sighed, picked up the two documents Peng Fulai had placed in front of him: "Let’s wait a bit longer. I’ve collected almost enough evidence, but there are still some flaws. However, Qianqian should be making progress soon. If all else fails, we’ll go to Zhuque House this afternoon."
In fact, at this stage of the investigation, there’s no need to find more evidence. This era does not adhere to the presumption of innocence.
With the information he held, he could easily convict the person.
However, Li Xuan still harbored a little bit of uncertainty in his heart. What if his deduction was wrong?
Although he had identified the true murderer, he could not believe his judgment up to this moment.
In recent days, he had been seeking further evidence, hoping to prove his judgment wrong.
However, just as Li Xuan was speaking, a bell suddenly rang from outside.
Alarm bells were coming from Zhuque Hall, and the voice of Fumo Zongguan echoed through the whole Zhuque Hall.
"Within two quarters of an hour, all those above the rank of Duyu in the hall and all those associated with the Zhenyao Tower explosion case should gather in the main hall on the first level of Zhenyao Tower immediately, without delay!"
When these words fell, the faces of the people in the room immediately looked at each other.
Peng Fulai exclaimed in surprise: "Jianchashi Shi? What is going to the Demon Tower for? Could it be that they have solved the case?"
Li Xuan frowned, then threw all the documents in front of him aside: "Let’s go see!"
Just as everyone was rushing to their feet, Yue Qianqian also came running back, hurriedly holding a stack of documents.
Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn’t help but become alert: "How’s it going, Qianqian? Do we have results?"
"The results of the two things you asked me to check are all here." Yue Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief and shoved the scrolls in her hand into Li Xuan’s.
She looked at Li Xuan with astonishment: "Could it be this person? But how could it be."
Li Xuan did not answer. He took the documents and looked through them carefully. His eyes gradually showed a touch of heaviness and sorrow: "Although I don’t know the reason, it should be this person."
Now there was one good news and one bad news. The good news was that he no longer had to work for Jiang Hanyun for free. With this document from Yue Qianqian, even the last doubt has been removed.
And the bad news also came from Yue Qianqian’s document.
Peng Fulai on the side was puzzled. He was wondering, who could the insider be?

A quarter of an hour later, Li Xuan arrived at Zhenyao Tower with his people. The place already surrounded by a crowd. Almost everyone from Zhuque Hall was gathered here, peering into the spacious hall inside the gate.
As they pushed through the crowd and entered the gate, they found that many Duyus and Xiaoweis had gathered here. Xiaowei Jiang and the others who were under custody were also present.
Perhaps due to the tedious days in Zhenyao Tower, Jiang Hanyun looked a bit under the weather.
But upon seeing Li Xuan and others arrive, Jiang Hanyun’s eyes lit up: "Li Xuan, come over here!"
Li Xuan obliged and came over, only to hear Jiang Hanyun impatiently asking, "Have you been investigating the case these past few days? Don’t let Shi Xin get ahead! I heard you’ve been dealing with documents most of the time these past few days. Can’t you prioritize?"
"I’ve solved the case, but if Jianchashi Shi steps in first, there’s nothing I can do."
Li Xuan thought to himself that if it weren’t for the accumulation of documents affecting the normal operation of Mingyou City, he wouldn’t bother with them. Wasn’t it a delight to lie in Xue Yunrou’s arms eating grapes?
"But I can guarantee that no matter the outcome today, you can all leave Zhenyao Tower."
His words caught the attention of some of the Xiaoweis, even Qiu Qianqiu glanced at him.
Li Xuan noticed that Lei Yun’s eyes had become dark as if he had been punched, and his cheeks were swollen as if he had two buns stuffed in his mouth, reminiscent of a puffed-up dog that had been stung by a wasp.
He immediately understood that Zhonglang Wang must have been here, then he bowed his fist to Lei Yun, expressing his admiration.
Zhonglang Wang was truly generous. He didn’t even kill him - he would keep his promise and invite Lei Yun for a drink another time.
