Chapter 1997 Doubt

   After asking Ling Zhiyu and Ling Yilin what they had said, Gu Zhiqi found that the clues he had so far were very similar to the last time.

  Seeing that Gu Zhiqi fell into silence, Ling Yilin asked, "Master Gu, can we find the murderer with these?"

  Gu Zhiqi: "..."

  Looking up at Ling Yilin, "Can you?"

  Ling Yilin shook his head.

   "You can't, but I can?" Gu Zhiqi said a little speechlessly.

  Ling Yilin heard it, and immediately said: "Xu Changqing has been dead for so many years, and you can find the murderer who killed him. What does this mean? It means that Master Gu is amazing."

   "I believe that Master Gu will definitely find the murderer who killed the First Elder and the Third Elder, and return my junior sister and me to be innocent!"

  Gu Zhiqi: "..."

  Su Yunling stretched out her hand and pushed Ling Yilin aside, "The abacus is very loud, she has no obligation to return your innocence, get out of here."

  After that, Gu Zhiqi asked Ling Yilin and Ling Zhiyu some questions.

   is about Ling Muyan.

  Ling Yilin and Ling Zhiyu were a little surprised when Gu Zhixi asked about Ling Muyan.

  Ling Yilin couldn't hold back, and asked directly, "Is Master Gu suspicious of Junior Sister Mu Yan?"

   Before Gu Zhiqi could say anything, Ling Yilin added, "It can't be Junior Sister Mu Yan."

   "Let's not talk about Junior Sister Mu Yan's character, just her relationship with the third elder..."

   "Let's put it this way, the third elder regards Junior Sister Mu Yan as her own daughter, and Junior Sister Mu Yan also regards the Third Elder as her biological father, so she is very filial to the Third Elder."

   "So, it is absolutely impossible for Junior Sister Mu Yan to take action against the third elder."

  Although Ling Zhiyu didn't speak, she agreed with Ling Yilin's words very much.

  Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi slightly raised his eyebrows, and said in a casual tone, "It's just a suspicion, and I didn't say she was the murderer."

  Ling Yilin heard it, and immediately explained to Gu Zhiqi: "I don't mean anything else, I just don't think Junior Sister Mu Yan is the murderer, but why does Master Gu doubt Junior Sister Mu Yan?"

  Gu Zhiqi didn't want to explain too much, so he made an excuse at random, "Probably because she and Xiao Yixue have a good relationship."

  Ling Yilin:?

  What does this have to do with Xiao Yixue?

  Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any further questions, he just nodded to Gu Zhiqi, "Indeed, Junior Sister Mu Yan and Xiao Yixue are sisters."

   Speaking of this, Ling Yilin continued to say with some emotion: "Junior Sister Mu Yan is practicing the ruthless way, and she is destined not to have too many fetters. Therefore, although she is easy-going, she will not get too close to others."

   "It is also doomed that she will not have good friends."

   "The third elder and Xiao Yixue are the closest people to her. I never thought that both of them... oh~"

   "Once the Third Elder and Xiao Yixue die, there will be no one she cares about in this world."

   Because of emotion, Ling Yilin said a long series of words.

   Originally, Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling were both annoyed by his non-stop chattering, but after hearing what he said, Gu Zhiqi's expression suddenly changed.

   "What did you just say?" Gu Zhiqi looked at Ling Yilin and asked.

  Ling Yilin:?

   Trying to think back, Ling Yilin himself couldn't remember what he said just now, so he roughly repeated, "The third elder and Xiao Yixue are both dead?"

   Gu Zhiqi shook his head, "Not this sentence."

  Ling Yilin: "Junior Sister Mu Yan doesn't have many close friends?"

   "Not this one either."

  Ling Yilin tried hard to remember, and said tentatively again, "In this world, there is no one she cares about anymore?"

   After listening, Gu Zhiqi didn't speak again, but fell into a long silence.
