When he first heard this, Niu Yuanping was shocked!
You know, he had already lifted his doubts about Zhu Yushun.
No matter whether it was the previous detection of the ultra-brain system or the subsequent secret observation of him, no evidence was found to prove that there was something wrong with Zhu Yushun.
But I didn't expect it.
The person who had been cleared of suspicion by himself has become the focus of Hong Bingzhong's attention...
I can't help but wonder, what evidence is there to say that he has a problem?
So he couldn't help but ask, "How did the senior know that Master Zhu had a problem?"
After pondering for a moment, Hong Bingzhong responded, "No evidence has been found yet... I just have a feeling that there is something unusual about Lao Zhu!... This time he suddenly took leave and returned to his hometown, which seems very strange..."
When Niu Yuanping heard this, he called out in his heart what a good fellow!
Isn't it a bit childish to just casually make suspicions without evidence?
I can't help but feel a little sympathy for Zhu Yushun.
He couldn't help but speak for him and said, "Didn't Master Zhu take leave because there was a sudden emergency in his hometown? Isn't this so strange?"
Unexpectedly, Hong Bingzhong shook his head.
"We demon slayers have many tasks every day... everyone is very busy. Therefore, even if we have to ask for leave, it will not take too long! Otherwise, it will increase the burden of other demon slayers... No one will take three jobs at once.
Months!... This is the tacit understanding between us demon-slayers."
After saying this, his eyes flickered, thoughtfully.
He continued, "If it is true that Tongyizhen escaped from the evil spirit, Lao Zhu must bear the main responsibility! But he didn't pay much attention to how to make up for his mistakes! He even suddenly took leave and returned to his hometown... this time
When asking for leave, he not only took the initiative to break the tacit understanding between us demon-slayers, but also did not mention a word about the specific reasons for the emergency in his hometown, and was very vague!... It makes people have to doubt it!"
Hearing this, Niu Yuanping also fell into deep thought.
Although this reason sounds far-fetched, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
only……
Before there is any conclusive evidence, he would jump to conclusions so hastily, and yet he would speak so clearly to a newcomer like him...
I thought about it carefully, but I always felt that there was something fishy...
While he was thinking about it, Hong Bingzhong's question came to his ears again: "Have brothers Yuanping noticed any unusual behavior in Lao Zhu recently?"
Niu Yuanping immediately came to his senses.
He thought for a while and finally shook his head, "I haven't known Master Zhu for long, and I don't know him well... So, I really can't detect anything unusual about Master Zhu compared to before.
"
"That night, when you followed Lao Zhu to kill the evil spirits, did anything special happen?"
It seems that Hong Bingzhong still doesn't give up.
It seemed as if he was sure he could learn something from Niu Yuanping's mouth.
However, he was disappointed.
Niu Yuanping shook his head again.
"Junior didn't pay attention..."
Seeing that nothing could be found, Hong Bingzhong had no choice but to exhale and said, "Okay... we can only look for other clues."
Then he raised his face and looked at Niu Yuanping, and warned, "If you remember anything in the future, you can tell me at any time!"
"Well... junior knows."
Seeing that Niu Yuanping became less active and more evasive in his words.
He seems to be very wary.
Or maybe he was frightened.
So Hong Bingzhong sighed, then smiled and said comfortingly, "You don't have to be too nervous and scared. It's just speculation at the moment. Maybe there is no evil spirit that has escaped."
Niu Yuanping also smiled slightly, but said nothing.
Hong Bingzhong raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying, "I wasted a lot of your time tonight... If you have nothing else to do, just go back and rest."
Hearing this, Niu Yuanping stood up.
Finally finished asking
To be honest, from the beginning, he felt that staying here was like sitting on pins and needles.
This atmosphere is really weird...
"Then... I will take my leave now, junior."
"Well, go ahead." Hong Bingzhong said with a smile.
Niu Yuanping turned around and walked towards the outside of the meeting hall.
"Brother Yuanping!"
Unexpectedly, just after taking a few steps, I heard Hong Bingzhong calling from behind.
I had no choice but to turn around and ask, "Senior, do you have any other instructions?"
Hong Bingzhong stared at him and said in a deep voice, "Brother Yuan Ping!... You must remember to keep the conversation tonight confidential."
Niu Yuanping's eyes flashed, he grinned, and responded, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing his back disappearing into the darkness, Hong Bingzhong was thoughtful.
Then he closed the Demon Slaying Account Book, put it away, and sat there waiting.
I don't know what I'm waiting for.
After about a moment of burning incense, Hong Bingzhong suddenly stood up and walked quickly outside.
After entering the courtyard, he jumped over the wall and flew out of the guard's mansion.
But he didn't choose to go through the main door, and secretly left like a thief!
Jumping into the long street, Hong Bingzhong walked quickly, his body turned into an afterimage, and his speed was very fast.
After about a mile or two, he turned into an alley.
After turning left and right three times in the alley, I came to the door of a house. After turning around and looking around, I quietly opened the door and went in.
The lights are on in the house.
Hong Bingzhong strode into the house.
There is a person in the room who has been waiting for a long time.
Hong Bingzhong glanced at the man and sighed.
He poured himself a cup of tea, sat down, took a sip, and asked, "Lao Zhu...is this really necessary?"
It turns out that this person is in the house.
It turned out to be Zhu Yushun!
Zhu Yushun did not respond to him, but asked, "How are things going?"
After swallowing the tea, Hong Bingzhong said in a deep voice, "According to your plan, I have announced to the outside world that you will take leave and return to your hometown! And I also revealed the evil escape to Sun Lan, Hu Dafeng, Kan Xingming, and Niu Yuanping respectively. Among them,
I have already revealed my suspicion about you to Niu Yuanping."
Zhu Yushun nodded, "Very good!"
Then he asked, "What were the reactions of those people?"
"They all expressed surprise at the fact that the evil spirit escaped! Moreover, consistent with your analysis, Lao Zhu, Sun Lan, Hu Dafeng, and Kan Xingming were all suspicious of Niu Yuanping! They all said that if there was an evil spirit pretending to be a human being,
, that person must be Niu Yuanping!"
Zhu Yushun hummed softly, "That's true!... Niu Yuanping is so unusual! As long as something unusual happens, he will be the first to be suspected!"
Then, he asked, "What kind of performance did Niu Yuanping perform?"
"This person is indeed more cautious! He didn't say much about everything that happened in Tongyi Town that night. However, when I set the target of suspicion on you, Lao Zhu, he did not go along with the flow and still behaved
Very cautious."
Zhu Yushun just listened and looked thoughtful.
At this time, Hong Bingzhong asked again, "Is it really necessary to do this?... If the monkey spirit Yaoxie really pretends to be a demon slayer and sneaks in, it would be too arrogant... Could it be that you are too worried?
?..."
Zhu Yushun's face was gloomy.
"You can't be careless! Because there is indeed one missing monkey spirit corpse, but there is an extra human skin!... I have been secretly tracking down these days, but there are still no clues!..."
Then, he continued to Hong Bingzhong, "Spread the news that you suspect that I am an evil spirit as soon as possible! The sooner the better! Only in this way can the real evil spirit relax its vigilance and show its flaws!"
Hong Bingzhong's face was solemn.
"At this point, there is no other way but to wrong you, Lao Zhu..."
"If I can find the escaped evil spirits and ghosts quickly, what does it mean if I feel a little wronged?"
…
By the light of candles, the two drank tea and talked in low voices.
