Chapter 1546 The Prime Suspect

Ye Cangtian had already made up his mind.

Since the other party had set a trap for him, he decided to have a showdown with them and settle it directly.

"What is there to fear!"

Lei Ming sneered at Ye Cangtian and continued, "But if it's proven that you are the murderer, then you will take your own life here. Don't dirty our hands!"

"It's a deal!" Ye Cangtian sneered in agreement.

Everyone present, after hearing the words of both parties, couldn't help but look at Yao Bao'er, who was examining the body in the hall.

Now the victory or defeat, and even the fate of Yulong Mountain Villa, were in Yao Bao'er's hands, so everyone wanted to know the final result.

Time ticked by, and after an unknown amount of time.

Yao Bao'er exhaled, slowly put away her tools, and stood up.

Facing the questioning gazes of everyone, she walked directly to Ye Cangtian and said, "After examination, before Feng Jun's death, he had taken the Fengling Pill, and his fatal wound was the sword injury on his chest, which was stabbed from behind!"

After a pause, Yao Bao'er continued, "And judging from Feng Jun's muscle condition, before his death, he had already anticipated the killer's attack."

"Besides this, there are poison powders in Feng Jun's mouth and nose. Coupled with the fact that the potent poison had not penetrated into the bone marrow and heart meridians, it can be concluded that Feng Jun was forcibly fed poison when he was on the verge of death..."

Yao Bao'er's voice echoed intermittently.

Everyone fell into deep thought, only Lei Ming, who was in the main seat, and Shen Kuo beside him, had secretly broken out in a cold sweat.

No one had expected Yao Bao'er's medical skills to be so superb.

With just the autopsy, she had basically recreated everything from last night. This ability was truly terrifying.

The next moment, Lei Ming couldn't help but swallow, looked at Ye Cangtian, and said, "Death God, the autopsy is complete. Why don't you confess honestly!"

"Lei Ming, are you not awake yet!"

"Which part of this autopsy result points to me as the murderer!"

Ye Cangtian's gaze swept over Lei Ming, his eyes filled with disdain. Wasn't this Lei Ming too eager to convict him?

"Are your ears deaf!"

"Yao Bao'er herself said that Feng Jun was ultimately force-fed poison! Isn't that evidence?"

Lei Ming glared at Ye Cangtian and continued disdainfully, "If you have any doubts, you can ask everyone in the hall. Is there any poison in Yulong Mountain Villa?"

Ye Cangtian was stunned by Lei Ming's words.

No poison in Yulong Mountain Villa?

It seemed that Lei Ming had kept the matter of the Five Poisons Sect very well hidden!

Although he thought so in his heart, Ye Cangtian's gaze still swept over the others in the hall.

He believed that no secret was impenetrable. Lei Ming had cooperated with the Five Poisons Sect for so long, and surely someone had discovered some clues.

"Junior Brother Death God, there are indeed no poisonous substances in the villa!"

"Yes, we martial artists have always disliked those poisons, so the villa has a rule that no one is allowed to research poisons!"

"Death God, the current situation is very unfavorable to you. If you are truly the murderer, just confess honestly and strive for lenient treatment..."

As Ye Cangtian's gaze swept across them, the people around him started talking one after another.

Those who remained neutral were better off, but those who were Lei Ming's confidantes, each one either told Ye Cangtian to surrender or to commit suicide as atonement.

Facing everyone's words, Ye Cangtian smiled faintly.

He then opened his mouth and said, "You have probably forgotten one thing. Bao'er said that the deceased's fatal wound was a sword injury, and I happen to dislike using swords and am skilled with sabers!"

After a pause, Ye Cangtian raised another question, saying, "Besides, I would like to ask everyone, if I were the murderer, why would I still have someone force-feed poison to Feng Jun after inflicting the fatal blow?"

"Wouldn't that be handing the evidence right to you? Do I look that foolish?"

As he spoke, Ye Cangtian directly took out his weapons.

First, the Dragon Soul Saber; second, the Golden Great Ring Saber; third, the Death Scythe!

Looking at the weapons in Ye Cangtian's hands, coupled with what Ye Cangtian said, everyone fell into thought.

Death God was right. Since it could be confirmed that Feng Jun had suffered a fatal blow, why would there be a need to administer poison?

Was he afraid of being suspected even more?

On the other side, Lei Ming, seated in the main seat, his face turned grim again upon hearing Ye Cangtian's defense.

This wave of defense truly made it difficult for him to refute.

After holding back for a long time, Lei Ming finally spoke, "Perhaps you did it deliberately, precisely to use reverse psychology to shirk all responsibility!"

"As for whether you used a saber or not, that's not the key. Do none of the people around you use swords?"

After a pause, Lei Ming continued, "There's also one point that is very suspicious. The fact that Yao Bao'er confirmed so much information from the autopsy, I really cannot agree with! I think she was at the scene beforehand, which is why she could explain everything so clearly!"

Lei Ming's voice continued to resound, and everyone present was like wall grass.

Just now, they had expressed support for what Ye Cangtian said, but now they were once again lost in thought.

In their opinion, what Lei Ming said was not unreasonable.

"Heh heh."

Ye Cangtian let out a cold laugh and said, "Lei Ming, don't you think what you're saying is contradictory..."

Ye Cangtian stated that if he had done it, he could have simply not used poison.

That way, no one would suspect him. Why would he then need to use everyone's reverse psychology to escape blame?

As for whether Yao Bao'er's words were true or false, other physicians could be invited to examine the body, and then the truth could be ascertained.

As he spoke, Ye Cangtian's gaze glanced at Lan Yue again, and then he said, "Senior Sister, please show me your weapon."

Clang!

As Ye Cangtian's voice fell, Lan Yue had already drawn her long sword.

Upon seeing the long sword, Lei Ming burst into laughter and pointed at the sword, saying, "Haha, so it was your senior sister Xiao Yue who took care of Feng Jun!"

"I knew you would say that!"

Facing Lei Ming's questioning, Ye Cangtian did not panic at all. He smiled slightly, then reached out and took Lan Yue's long sword.

"Everyone, please take a good look. This is a long sword for ladies. The sword is relatively light, slender, and does not match Feng Jun's wound!" Ye Cangtian said.

The people in the hall nodded one after another.

Although they were at a distance, their cultivation levels were not low. Upon closer inspection, it was not as Ye Cangtian had said.

This sword was simply not the murder weapon that killed Feng Jun.

Seeing everyone nod, Ye Cangtian said again, "There is another point of suspicion. Please pay attention. The autopsy results stated that Feng Jun had taken the Fengling Pill before his death! Then I would like to ask everyone present, who could have made Feng Jun willingly take the Fengling Pill?"

With this single sentence, everyone's gaze instantly shifted to Lei Ming.

This was indeed a very big point of suspicion.

One had to know that the effect of the Fengling Pill was to seal the spiritual energy within the body. Once there was no spiritual energy, one would be equivalent to a cripple, at the mercy of others.

If it were not someone Feng Jun trusted, how could Feng Jun have willingly taken the Fengling Pill?

From this point of view, Death God clearly did not have such a condition and should not be the murderer.

Instead, Lei Ming, who had been trying to frame Death God, became the prime suspect!

"This..."

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Lei Ming's heart suddenly panicked, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

He truly did not know how to answer this question.

Before, he thought his plan was foolproof and that Ye Cangtian would be speechless, so he hadn't prepared for every eventuality.

After a long struggle, Lei Ming finally coughed lightly and slowly said, "It seems that this matter has nothing to do with Junior Brother Death God. There must be another culprit."

As he spoke, Lei Ming slowly stood up from his seat and bowed deeply to Ye Cangtian.

Only then did he look up and say, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother Death God. Senior Brother was also blinded by the death of Feng Jun. Here, Senior Brother apologizes to you!"

Saying these words, Lei Ming almost gritted his teeth.

He was truly unwilling to let go of Death God, but he had no choice. If he did not let this matter go, then someone would surely suspect him.

By then, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, he had to apologize while gritting his teeth, hoping to end this matter.

"I do not accept your apology until the matter is clarified!"

Ye Cangtian looked at Lei Ming with contempt, then casually turned his gaze to Shen Kuo and said, "Shen Kuo, who was the first to discover the body, and where was it found?"
