Hotel Bright.
Room 8001.
This was a presidential suite.
Ye Qiu swept a glance and found that the inside of this room was neat and very clean.
“Brother Zhao, are you sure that the Nine Thousand Years was assassinated here last night?”Ye Qiu was a bit sceptical, this place didn’t look like an assassination scene at all.
“I’m sure.”Zhao Yun said, “I checked, the Nine Thousand Years old stayed here last night, and he didn’t leave his room the entire night.”
Ye Qiu asked again, “Then why is the room so clean and tidy? Did the hotel’s cleaners clean it?”
“I asked and the hotel did not send anyone to clean it.”
Ye Qiu’s brows furrowed as he looked at the Dragon King and said, “Do you think this looks like an assassination scene?”
“Not like it.”
“I don’t think it looks like it either.”Ye Qiu said, “If the Nine Thousand Years old really suffered an assassination inside this room last night and a few guards died, then there must be traces of a fight inside the room, but right now there’s nothing here, it’s as if no one has ever lived here.”
“Could it be that the Nine Thousand Years did live here last night, but the scene of the assassination wasn’t here?”As soon as the Dragon King’s words left his mouth, he was met with Zhao Yun’s rebuttal.
Zhao Yun said, “I’ve carefully looked at the CCTV, and after the Nine Thousand Years entered this room last night, he didn’t leave the room until this morning. And his few dead guards were also carried out of this room this morning, I’m certain that this is the scene of the assassination.”
“Then why can’t we find any traces?”The Dragon King frowned and said.
“Could it be that the Nine Thousand Years sent someone to clean this place up?”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu and the Dragon King froze.
Zhao Yun followed and added, “If it was really done by the Nine Thousand Years, then why would he do that? What good would it do him to clean up the scene so cleanly?”
“You’re such an idiot, don’t you understand such a shallow reasoning?”The Dragon King said without a trace of anger, “The Nine Thousand Years Old is testing Ye Qiu.”
“Test?”Zhao Yun was even more puzzled.
The Dragon King explained, “The Nine Thousand Years letting Ye Qiu search for the murderer was already a test, and now by erasing all traces of it, he’s making the test more difficult. If Ye Qiu passes the test and finds the murderer, then we’re all fine with each other, if Ye Qiu doesn’t find the murderer, then the Nine Thousand Years will take my life and one of Ye Qiu’s arms as promised.”
“This dog, how sinister.”
After Zhao Yun cursed, he hastily covered his mouth with his hand and looked around, realising that there was no one else, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
The Dragon King reprimanded Zhao Yun with a sullen face, saying, “As the saying goes, illness enters by the mouth, and trouble comes out of the mouth. Watch what you say in the future, don’t ever say anything like what you just said in the future, otherwise if the Dragon Sect’s people hear you, your time to die will be up.”
“Well, I’ll pay attention in the future.”Zhao Yun also knew that he had slipped up and sincerely accepted the Dragon King’s criticism.
“Little Ye, what now?”Dragon King asked.
“Find the murderer.”Ye Qiu said.
“How to find it?”
“As long as the murderer has come to this room, he will definitely leave traces, no matter how cleanly the Nine Thousand Years erased it, it’s impossible to erase all the traces.”Ye Qiu said, “Let’s first look inside the room and see if we can find traces of the murderer.”
“Good!”
At that moment, the three searched inside the room.
This presidential suite was very large and besides the living room, there were four rooms and two bathrooms.
Ye Qiu and the three of them searched very carefully, and after spending almost an hour turning the room over, they couldn’t find any traces.
“I’m now certain that it was definitely the Nine Thousand Years who sent someone to erase the traces, because it’s impossible for an ordinary person to erase the traces so thoroughly.”Dragon King sighed, “No wonder Dragon Sect is expanding so fast, there are quite a few capable people under Nine Thousand Years!”
“Brother Zhao, where is the hotel surveillance room? You take me to take a look.”Ye Qiu said.
Without finding clues inside the room, he could only pin his hopes on the surveillance video.
Zhao Yun said, “I’ve already seen the surveillance video and didn’t find anything valuable.”
“But I still want to take a look.”
Seeing Ye Qiu’s insistence, the Dragon King also said, “Zhao Yun, hurry up and lead the way, I want to go and take a look too.”
“Alright then.”
Zhao Yun led Ye Qiu and Dragon King to the hotel monitoring room.
The three of them sat in the surveillance room and watched all of the hotel’s surveillance videos from last night to this morning.
Just as Zhao Yun had said earlier, after the Nine Thousand Years and his guards had entered the room, they hadn’t come out for the entire night, and even, they hadn’t even opened the door of the room for the entire night.
Only this morning did the door to the room open, and several bodies were carried out from inside, followed by the Nine Thousand Year Old leaving.
After watching the video, Ye Qiu said, “The surveillance video was tampered with.”
“Little Ye, what did you find out?”The Dragon King was busy asking.
Zhao Yun also looked at Ye Qiu curiously.
Ye Qiu said, “In the surveillance video, the Nine Thousand Years Old and a few of his guards didn’t come out for the whole night after entering the room, and they didn’t even open the door, so may I ask, how did the murderer enter the room?”
“Could it be through the window?”The Dragon King said.
“I’ve checked all the windows in the room and there are no signs of damage. Although Nine Thousand Years erased the traces inside the room, I don’t believe that he even replaced the windows. Then there’s only one possibility, the murderer entered through the front door. But from beginning to end, we didn’t see the murderer in the video.”Ye Qiu continued, “And the most crucial point, I didn’t find Han Long.”
“Han Long? Who is it?”Zhao Yun asked.
“Han Long is Nine Thousand Years old’s righteous son, he was sent to Jiangzhou Hospital early this morning, at that time, he had dozens of gunshot wounds and knife wounds on his body, his life was hanging by a thread.”Ye Qiu said, “Han Long was also seriously injured because he was protecting the Nine Thousand Years Old, which means that Han Long was by the Nine Thousand Years Old’s side when the Nine Thousand Years Old was assassinated.”
“And Han Long is not seen in this video.”
“Summing up the above two points, I conclude that this video has been tampered with, and if I’m not wrong, this is also something that the Nine Thousand Years sent someone to do.”
“Dog ……” Zhao Yun wanted to start cursing again, and just as a word came out of his mouth, he saw the Dragon King glaring at him and hastily closed his mouth.
Unbeknownst to him, at this time Ye Qiu was also cursing Nine Thousand Years in his heart.
This dog Yinbi, erasing the traces so cleanly, how can he find the murderer?
Zhao Yun said, “I’ll get someone to fix the video right away.”
“Good, I’ll leave this matter to you to arrange, Brother Zhao, I’ll go to the room again.”Ye Qiu finished speaking and went back to the room with the Dragon King.
The search continued.
Half an hour later, there was still nothing.
Zhao Yun also returned, stating that the video couldn’t be repaired.
“It seems that we can only use the Maoshan talisman.”
Ye Qiu took advantage of the Dragon King and Zhao Yun’s inattention, crossed his arms and made a quick seal in front of his chest, then whispered an incantation, and soon, a wisp of black gas appeared out of thin air and floated in front of Ye Qiu’s eyes.
