Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

The man kept crying, some people around were talking noisily, the Qianyan Army had solemn expressions, the General Affairs Department staff were talking heatedly, and the relatively quiet Su Ping and Xu Xun stood together.

Su Ping was in a heavy mood after thinking about it. He looked around. Everything needed to be changed in his eyes. However, the more he looked, the more powerless he felt, because he was just a small snack stand owner whose property was far from enough to support this idea.

The thoughts in my mind fell and disappeared temporarily. All that was left was a sigh and noticing a few faces that were not familiar but that I had definitely seen before.

That was the family members of the other two victims in the last murder case. Even they came here and stood within the cordon, which made the whole incident more gloomy and clear.

The sun had already set, darkness enveloped the earth, and the winter evening breeze blew by, driving many children half a man's height and a few elderly people back home, without any mood to stay and watch the fun.

The remaining young and strong people, as long as there were still people at home, turned around and left. After all, the hustle and bustle was more important than home.

As a result, the scene was much more empty, but judging from the discussions among several staff members, it could be said that there was no clue to the case.

"What was the motive for the murder?"

"The money and valuables in the house have not been touched. Besides, there is no need to commit murder in a burglary. Doesn't this strengthen our vigilance?"

"But if he didn't commit suicide and happened to die there, would it be possible for us to receive a report?"

"That's right, then let's first sentence it as unprovoked murder?"

Everyone agreed, and then they began to speculate why the old man committed suicide.

"It's impossible that when he was fleeing from his crime, he thought that his fate would be ..."

Before he could finish his words, everyone else denied his idea and gave him a look of contempt. He didn't say anything more in disappointment.

Then, someone else slowly said, “The old man who committed suicide may not have known that his brother would not report the case after the woman died.”

"Well, but there are not many elderly people left in South Village. There are no people of the same age as the suicide victim. What should we do?"

Different ages will lead to different cognitions. This is because they have no other choice but not to ask people of different age groups as to what the deceased has done in his life, mainly because they may not know.

It seemed that this had led to another difficult problem, and someone chose to start with the murder weapon.

"That knife was of ordinary workmanship and style, the kind that every villager would have in their kitchen. Village kitchens are mostly outside of houses. It was late at night, so he could have just picked up a knife from anywhere... At most, we can guess the route he took before coming here.

After the old man killed the man, he threw the knife into a field by the roadside. It was later found by our people. The location of the knife and the place where the old man committed suicide were exactly in the middle of the two places. It was a convenient field path.

That’s why their deaths are so close, but this doesn’t seem to help!”

One of them nodded. "The most urgent task is to find out the reasons and motives for the murder and suicide, otherwise we can only close the case hastily."

"Yes!" The others echoed, obviously not wanting the case to be buried in obscurity.

Not far away, Su Ping calmed down, still in deep thought, but not as heavy-hearted anymore.

Xu Xun then asked: "So, Su Ping, what do you think of the old man who committed suicide?"

Su Ping spread his hands and said, "I didn't think he was a good person before, but now it seems even more so!"

There was a lot of resentment in his words, as if the old man owed him 1.8 million Mora. However, dying in someone else's water tank and having done such a thing, it seemed that he deserved to be hated.

Xu Xun remained silent, and Su Ping also stopped talking, and they waited quietly again.

The silence on their side and the conversation on the other staff's side all stopped after a long time, when it was time for the children to go to bed.

They did not leave, and their numbers did not decrease but increased. A few more people came, including Chen Baiwang, who closed the textile factory and was still a wealthy man in the village, and Doctor Zhang, who owned a two-story building. They were followed by several strong servants.

Xu Xun had seen some portraits of famous people in the village from the information and recognized the identities of the two leaders, but he did not let the Qianyan Army lower their guard.

Chen Baiwang, who was blocked, didn't know whether he had no idea or didn't dare to do it. He didn't show any impatience on his face. He smiled and said, "Sir, I'm here to send a witness. He said he can prove why the old man committed suicide there!"

Doctor Zhang's eyes flickered, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "I know, I know why that person committed suicide, and why he committed suicide in that place. Please... allow us to go!"

Xu Xun touched his chin, glanced at his colleagues over there, and asked Qianyan Army to lower their guard and let those people in.

Chen Baiwang, who got what he wanted, did not look at Su Ping at first, but tried to show concern for Xu Xun. Unfortunately, the other party was unmoved, so he gave up in disappointment and turned to look at the little prodigy in the village.

"The little prodigy is here too, haha, you must be so busy." Chen Baiwang gave an ambiguous smile, which made people think deeply.

Xu Xun saw all of this, then looked at Doctor Zhang and said, "Go ahead."

Doctor Zhang quickly said yes, and then said: "Regarding the reason why the man died behind Su Ping's house, it is possible that on the day of the Moon-Chu Festival, he was...sent to my clinic to treat his injuries."

Xu Xun looked calm and asked, "And then?"

"The person who sent him to my clinic was Su Ping!" Doctor Zhang gritted his teeth and uttered the last three words, as if he was gritting his teeth.

"I know this. It was the Treasure Thieves who did it, and then Su Ping did a good deed and sent the old man to the clinic. The villagers in South Village all said this. Do you want to say it's not true?"

Xu Xun glanced at the boy beside him, who looked calmer than before, frowned slightly, and continued, "Falsely accusing others, especially during this special period, is very serious!"

Chen Baiwang showed no fear. He waved his skinny hand and said firmly, "It's absolutely correct. Doctor Zhang is the most trustworthy and prestigious person in the village. You can go around the village and ask. They will definitely believe what Doctor Zhang says just like me!"

"I can judge this, no need for you to remind me." Xu Xun's eyes focused.

Chen Baiwang quickly said yes, and then he didn't dare to do it again. He turned around and felt sorry for Doctor Zhang, and advised: "Go ahead, Doctor Zhang, tell me everything you know, and tell the adults!"

His words were ordinary, but they were harsh in Doctor Zhang's ears. In Su Ping's ears, they sounded like a dog barking, trying to cause trouble for him.

However, Su Ping was not afraid of this dirty water. After all, it was already a done deal and it was unlikely to be dug up again. Besides, it was too far-fetched to link this old account with murder.

"Speak, Doctor Zhang!" Chen Baiwang's face, which only Doctor Zhang could see, was slightly gloomy, like a cunning fox threatening weak poultry.

Doctor Zhang's pupils trembled slightly, as if he was struggling in an unknown way, and then he finally spoke.

"When I examined him that day, I found that his injuries were a bit strange..."

Chen Baiwang's mouth corners slightly raised, as if his plan was about to succeed. No one knew where he got the confidence from, thinking that this would be enough to bring Su Ping down.

If Su Ping knew that he was laughing secretly at this moment, he would probably laugh too, a mocking laugh.

Doctor Zhang glanced at Su Ping out of the corner of his eye. His eyes showed the integrity, vigor and vitality of a young man. In a flash, it seemed that he was determined in his heart and no longer hesitated.

"Generally speaking, not many people died when being robbed by the treasure-stealing group, but it's impossible that they only had wounds from fists and feet and no swords or knives!"

Su Ping's heart was moved, but his face was very calm. He quietly thought about what Doctor Zhang said, and why Xu Xun didn't doubt him? Or was it because he didn't see it?

Xu Xun nodded slightly and explained, "I see. To put it simply, it's probably because the group of treasure-stealing gangs that were captured were also in dire straits. When they were captured, some of them were so hungry that they were just skin and bones. They didn't even have a piece of metal, let alone swords, bows and crossbows!"

"This, this..." Chen Baiwang was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect it, he really didn't expect it.

"It's really incredible, but that's the fact." After Xu Xun finished speaking, he looked at Doctor Zhang and said slowly: "Do you have any other testimony?"

"Yes! I think the old man chose to commit suicide behind Su Ping's house. It is possible that he killed someone and was confused. He remembered the benefactor who helped him, so he did such a thing in a fit of anger! He almost turned a benefactor into a traitor!"

Doctor Zhang said something that sounded very strange and bizarre, but when you think about it carefully, an elderly man with no relatives and a vicissitudes of life had someone who once helped him, and perhaps that was the only pure land in his heart.

Whether this is true or not, it is like this according to Doctor Zhang’s explanation.

Xu Xun touched his chin, his eyes thoughtful, and it was unclear whether he was thinking about this possibility or savoring the interpersonal relationships involved.

During this period, Chen Baiwang looked gloomy. Doctor Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.

Su Ping was the most relaxed among the four, because he finally solved two of the doubts in his heart.

One is that God helped, and a group of treasure thieves happened to be caught, so no matter whether the original story was true or not, it would become true.

Another thing is that these three cases are indeed related to Chen Baiwang, otherwise why would the other party come here specially and make such a fuss as if to identify him?

However, after the doubts were solved, some doubts arose. The old man Su Ping clearly only hit once, so why did Doctor Zhang say that he was beaten all over his body?

Is it fake, or is it true?
