When the apocalypse comes, salted fish will only make bubbles

In fact, it was not difficult to find out the real murderer. On the way there, Pei Chonglin and Li Ying analyzed the matter carefully again.

And they soon found a breakthrough.

Finally, Pei Chonglin took the lead in giving his own conclusion: "The administrator said he saw someone raising the water flow, which obviously meant someone deliberately created an illusion to attract his attention."

Li Ying nodded in agreement: "So, this water flow is the key to solving the case."

Pei Chonglin once again clarified his inference: "That's right, at least we can identify the perpetrator, he is undoubtedly a water-based mutant."

This is actually very easy to understand. As long as the water-based psychic has good abilities, he only needs to hide in the dark and use his water abilities to achieve his goal.

While releasing a stream of water to attract the administrator's attention, he used his water ability to poison the water source.

In addition, the administrator was not vigilant enough and did not discover the abnormality in time, which allowed him to succeed.

When drinking water was distributed again, the water people received had already dissolved some toxins, and they would naturally experience symptoms of poisoning after drinking it.

According to Zhu Daneng's account, many people had attacks on the spot after drinking the water directly after receiving it.

This shows that the poison thrown into the water source was highly toxic and the man's intentions were sinister enough.

Li Ying couldn't help but sigh and smacked his lips after hearing this: "Tsk tsk! Success or failure depends on the flow of water. What was he thinking when he took action? Wasn't he afraid of exposing his identity?"

Hearing this, Pei Chonglin smiled silently:

"After staying in the desert for a long time, many people will inevitably have some hallucinations. Some people even reported seeing mirages. I think this person probably wanted to use this psychology to erase his suspicion, but his cleverness backfired, and it was this that made him easily reveal his flaws."

Li Ying felt much more relaxed: "Now that we have identified the identities of all the water-type ability users, it will be much easier to investigate."

Pei Chonglin also thought so, and he had already thought of the next step:

"Indeed, there aren't many water-type psychics. I'll have someone ask Zhang Jicun for a list to check. All the water-type psychics in my team are registered, so it's convenient to call them together."

When Li Ying heard that Master Pei wanted to selflessly investigate his own people, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Forget about your people!"

Li Ying knew the prestige of the Pei family, and was even more aware of Ma Biao's fear and respect for the eldest son of the Pei family in the imperial capital. Moreover, the people under their command were basically all soldiers who had followed them all the way to the present, and their character had all stood the test of time.

He believed that no one would dare to have any bad intentions in his own territory.

On the contrary, they knew very little about the survivors inside and outside Fancheng, and they probably could only get a general idea of ​​the situation by asking Zhang Jicun for help.

Pei Chonglin couldn't help feeling proud when he heard that Li Ying wanted to give his people the green light. Those who believed in him showed their trust and recognition of him!

However, he still expressed a different opinion: "I trust my people, but we have to investigate what needs to be investigated, otherwise others will criticize us and we can't treat everyone equally."

After thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "The current situation is not good. People's hearts will always change due to changes in the environment. It's better to find an opportunity to investigate at the right time. If there is nothing wrong, just treat it as a warning."

Seeing that he had his own considerations, Li Ying didn't say anything else. Anyway, the investigation was to be carried out by Pei Chonglin. Once the brain scanner was used, all the monsters would be exposed immediately!

Then he clapped his hands happily: "Okay, then let's take a good look and see who is so vicious. Poisoning is one thing, but the key is that he wants to frame me. I'll kill him myself if I find out."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Pei Chonglin immediately became serious: "Xiaoying!"

"Ok?"

"You can see that his target is you."

As soon as there was a problem with the water source, everyone pointed the finger at Li Ying. That person was not only malicious, but he must have deliberately targeted Li Ying.

Otherwise, destroying the water source will not benefit anyone.

Upon hearing this, Li Ying shrugged helplessly:

"No matter if his target is me or not, if something happens to the water source, I will definitely not be able to escape responsibility. What if someone dies... Wait!"

As he was talking, Li Ying suddenly realized that he had overlooked something. In fact, destroying the water source was not the point, but that person wanted to use it to destroy him.

In order to confirm this inference, Li Ying looked at Pei Chonglin again and asked him: "Pei Chonglin, what you meant just now is that this person did this to retaliate against me?"

"I can only say it's possible, so you can think about whether you have had any grudges with anyone before, or someone with water abilities."

Pei Chonglin had already found such a person from his memory after he finished speaking, so he asked him back:

"If I remember correctly, there seems to be such a person. What do you think?"

"..."

Since the person had a grudge against him and was also a water-related mutant, Li Ying thought of the real person without any hesitation.

Oh! Pei Yang!

Although he felt that the hatred between them was not so deep that it would even drag tens of thousands of people to be buried with them.

But he couldn't think of anyone else except this person.

What? Tang Shisen has already given it to him, but he is still not satisfied?

Oh! Maybe after his fake identity was exposed, Tang Shisen no longer treated him as a treasure, so he transferred his anger to himself!

However, even if he harbored resentment towards me, he shouldn't have used the water source as a tool for revenge!

Bah! Scum!

Regardless of whether this is true or not, Pei Yang inevitably becomes their primary target of suspicion.

"I don't think there's any need to mobilize a large force to investigate."

When Li Ying spoke again, his face was rarely cold: "Pei Chonglin, you really reminded me, if there is anyone who would wish me bad luck and hate me to the core, it would be your fake stand-in!"

"Now that I think about it, there doesn't seem to be any other suspicious candidates besides him."

Pei Chonglin couldn't help but empathize with him. Just imagine that the man was so shameless as to use his identity to cheat and defraud people. What else would he not dare to do?

Come to think of it, Pei Yang had also suffered at his hands. Rather than saying that he hated Li Ying, it would be better to say that he hated the two of them.

The fact that Li Ying is his partner has been made public. If anything happens to Li Ying, how can he remain unscathed?

This is an attempt to drag them all into the water!

From this perspective, Pei Yang is the kind of dark and sinister person who can't stand others doing well even though he himself is not doing well.

Based on this point, the first person to be investigated is Pei Yang.

"Okay, let's check him first. If he can get rid of suspicion, we can check others in time."

Last time he didn't argue with him and the guy named Tang and let them go. It was really a good deal for them.

And the guy with the surname Tang, if this matter has anything to do with him, he promises to take both of them to the Tiankeng for sacrifice!

He should not continue to live while being protected by Li Ying and still plotting against her...
