Chapter 2028: Find the Murderer

Therefore, Yin s.h.i.+yi immediately stood up and walked to the next table. “Excuse me, can I see the news?” he said.

People sitting around the table didn’t know what he wanted to do, but one of them still gave Yin s.h.i.+yi his phone and let him read the news.

Dongfang Jinghong was confused about Yin s.h.i.+yi’s behavior, but he just watched.

Yin s.h.i.+yi took the phone and saw the picture of the piece of Hotan jade carved with a dragon on the screen. After a glance, he was very sure that it was Yin s.h.i.+xun’s jade pendant. In an instant, he looked panicked.

Was Yin s.h.i.+xun really dead?

He couldn’t believe it.

Yin s.h.i.+yi refused to believe it because Yin s.h.i.+xun was a cultivator. It was impossible for mortals to hurt him.

He didn’t think Yin s.h.i.+xun was killed by another cultivator because there was a rule that cultivators couldn’t kill each other. If there was any conflict, they should report it to Tiandaozong. Tiandaozong would deal with it and wouldn’t hesitate to kill if it was necessary. However, if any cultivator dared to do that secretly, he or she would be punished once it was exposed.

Tiandaozong was the authority in the cultivation world, so no cultivators dared to act against it.

If Yin s.h.i.+xun wasn’t killed by another cultivator from the cultivation world, then it must be a member of the Evil Practice or a high level monster.

Yin s.h.i.+yi slid a finger up the screen to see whether there was a picture of the body to make sure of it.

He actually had a faint hope that it might not be Yin s.h.i.+xun, but he was heavily hit the moment he saw a picture of the body. His face went pale in an instant and he could barely stand steadily.

The body was really Yin s.h.i.+xun. To his astonishment, Yin s.h.i.+xun was killed.

Seeing Yin s.h.i.+yi’s reaction, Dongfang Jinghong squinted. It was obvious that Yin s.h.i.+yi knew the dead person.

Thinking of the question Yin s.h.i.+yi just asked him, he thought the dead person could be Yin s.h.i.+xun.

Dongfang Jinghong was scared and couldn’t believe it either.

Yin s.h.i.+yi was at a high level, so he actually didn’t have many matches in the cultivation world, let alone in the mortals’ world.

If the dead person was really Yin s.h.i.+yi, then who killed him?

“Do you know this dead man?” asked the person who gave Yin s.h.i.+yi his phone.

Hearing that, Yin s.h.i.+yi came back to his senses and returned the phone to the person. He didn’t answer the person’s question and only thanked him before turning around and walking away.

The person didn’t continue to ask him, because the answer couldn’t be more obvious given his reaction. He must know the dead man.

Yin s.h.i.+yi lost his appet.i.te. He had to take Yin s.h.i.+xun’s body, then go back to the cultivation world and talk about it with the Yin family.

After Yin s.h.i.+yi went back to the table, he said, “Nephew Jinghong, I’m sorry, something came up. I have to go. Enjoy it! I’ll go to settle the bill.”

“Please allow me to do that. You can go now if you need to deal with something. Don’t waste time here,” said Dongfang Jinghong. He was very considerate. It wasn’t a big deal that he bought a meal for Yin s.h.i.+yi. Yin s.h.i.+yi didn’t eat much anyway.

As for what had just happened, Dongfang Jinghong didn’t ask about it. He would know once he read the news on the Internet by himself.

“Thanks, Nephew Jinghong.” Since Dongfang Jinghong said that, Yin s.h.i.+yi didn’t insist.

“You’re welcome,” said Dongfang Jinghong, then Yin s.h.i.+yi left in a hurry.

Once Yin s.h.i.+yi was gone, Dongfang Jinghong took out his phone to search for the news.

Within seconds, he found it. After a glance at the dead body, he recognized it was Yin s.h.i.+xun.

Although he already had that guess, he was still amazed after making sure of it.

Without delay, Yin s.h.i.+yi left for the Public Security Bureau to confirm the body’s ident.i.ty.

After confirmation, Yin s.h.i.+yi successfully took Yin s.h.i.+xun’s body back, then he quickly left to the cultivation world.

The moment Yin s.h.i.+yi saw Yin s.h.i.+xun’s body, he figured out how Yin s.h.i.+xun died. He died because someone exploded his energy center.

It seemed that Yin s.h.i.+xun had encountered a strong match.

Yin s.h.i.+yi brought Yin s.h.i.+xun’s body back to the Yin family in the cultivation world. When the Yin family saw his body, none of them could believe it. Yin s.h.i.+xun’s parents almost fainted from grief, so did his wife and daughter.

“What happened?” The Yin family’s patriarch asked Yin s.h.i.+yi.

The Yin family’s patriarch was its eldest son, and he cared a lot about Yin s.h.i.+xun who was his nephew because Yin s.h.i.+xun was outstanding among the young generation.

“He died because his energy center exploded, and he’s been dead for a while. I coincidentally heard the news about a dead man during a meal today. Then I found out it was s.h.i.+xun.” Yin s.h.i.+yi said, “It must be another cultivator who was able to make s.h.i.+xun’s energy center explode, but I don’t know whether the cultivator is in the cultivation world or the Evil Practice. It can be a monster as well.”

He and Yin s.h.i.+xun weren’t very close, but they got along well with each other, so he felt sad when Yin s.h.i.+xun was dead.

“Find the murderer!” The Yin family’s patriarch gave an order in anger because it was a humiliation to the Yin family.

The Yin family’s patriarch was suspicious of other powerful families at first, but didn’t think it was very likely. In that case, the murderer was likely to be a member of the Evil Practice or a monster at a high level.

No matter what, they needed evidence now. After that, the Yin family sent out people to investigate it.

Although the police found nothing yet, it didn’t mean they weren’t capable.

Early the next morning, the Yin family’s patriarch went to Tiandaozong and reported to it. Tiandaozong undoubtedly would help the Yin family with it.

Right after the Yin family went to Tiandaozong, the news that Yin s.h.i.+xun was killed went abroad. All the powerful families learned the news and discussed who did it.

They knew that the Yin family might be suspicious of them, but they didn’t do it, so they weren’t worried about the investigation.

Jing Jining, however, felt nervous and anxious because Yin s.h.i.+xun’s death had something to do with him.

He knew Tiandaozong’s abilities very well. They certainly would find out about his involvement in Yin s.h.i.+xun’s death, but he and Gu Ning were in a remote mountain when they killed Yin s.h.i.+xun. Therefore, they had no evidence to prove that he was the murderer even if they discovered that he had contacted Yin s.h.i.+xun.

After all, he wasn’t as skilled as Yin s.h.i.+xun, which was generally known to everyone.

Nevertheless, he was afraid that they might find out about Jing Yunyao through him, so he left the cultivation world as soon as he heard the news and called Jing Yunyao.

He knew that Jing Yunyao went to Kunlun Mountain, but he still tried to get through to her. Perhaps they were already back!

After he failed to get through to her, Jing Jining sent Jing Yunyao a message telling her that the cultivation world found out about Yin s.h.i.+xun’s death and Tiandaozong was carrying out an investigation. Once Jing Yunyao’s phone could receive signals, she would be able to read the message. For now, he could only do his best to ruin the surveillance videos of his meetings with Jing Yunyao.
