BXBX NOVEL Chapter 4775 Who Do You Think It Is?
"You can't judge a book by its cover. Sister Yu die and miss ning, I advise you to stay away from this despicable man. Otherwise, you won't even know when he'll kill you. You might even be sold by him and help him count the spiritual jades!" Ren Zhongyuan sneered.
"Vice Dean Liu, since you've already said so much, it's not appropriate for you to continue dragging things out. Could it be that you're really determined to protect this kid?" Yi Xiaotian seized the opportunity to force the issue. He and Ren Zhongyuan had obviously discussed this beforehand. One of them was responsible for targeting Lin Yi, while the other wouldn't give Liu Ziyu a chance to react. They would do both!
"Right! It doesn't matter if this brat is the real culprit behind the poisoning, we just need to capture him and use a soul-searching technique on him. Vice Dean Liu, do you really think that the lives of so many of us are less important than this brat?" The others echoed in unison.
Huo yudie and ning Xuefei panicked. Soul-searching techniques could cause irreparable damage to one's spirit. Even if one was in the nascent Soul Stage, one soul-searching technique could damage one's spirit and might take decades to recover. These people were obviously trying to destroy Lin Yi!
Liu Ziyu was caught in a dilemma. These people had been incited by Ren Zhongyuan and Yi Xiaotian. Even with her authority, it was difficult to suppress them. This matter was really tricky.
At this moment, Lin Yi finally stood up and looked at Ren Zhongyuan with a calm expression,""You're so sure that I'm the one who poisoned you. Other than your mind being filled with wild thoughts, do you have any substantial evidence? I remember that before boarding the ship, we have to check the contents of the ship, but now there's such a large scale poisoning. I want to ask, how did so much poison escape the notice of the kelp?"
His words left everyone speechless. Poison was required to poison, but it was an insult to everyone's intelligence to say that so many poisons could be brought up so casually.
This was a top-notch ancient warship. Anyone who boarded the ship not only had to be inspected by the crew, but also through a special inspection array. It was impossible to hide under such tight security.
"Hmph, you may be able to hide this from others, but you can't hide it from me!" Ren Zhongyuan, on the other hand, looked at Lin Yi with a cold smile and said,""You don't know yet, right? my father is not only a seventh-realm Alchemist, but also a famous top-notch medicine master in the East Province. Unfortunately, I just learned a little from him."
"Oh?" Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.
"Under normal circumstances, it's really difficult to bring poison up. However, I've just carefully studied everyone's symptoms and found that it matches a strange poison in the legend. This poison is called heart-piercing anemone! Ren Zhongyuan said confidently.
"Heart-piercing sea anemone? Is this a poisonous creature from the sea?" Liu Ziyu was shocked.
"Yes, this heart-piercing sea anemone is very common in the sea, but people rarely go into the sea, so they don't know much about it. Only a few medicinal books record it, and I just happened to see it in my father's study." Ren Zhongyuan smiled proudly and looked at Lin Yi,""Therefore, you don't need to carry the poison with you. You just need to catch some heart-piercing sea anemone, grind it into powder and put it in the food. It will dissolve in water. Additionally, it's colorless and odorless, so no one will find it!"
It sounded like a logical deduction, but he was basically exposing what he'd done in front of everyone, just putting a hat on Lin Yi's head.
The heart-piercing sea anemone was his unique method. If he didn't say it himself, not many people would know about this poison. After all, the sea was the territory of sea beasts. Even the best pharmacist would find it difficult to really come into contact with sea creatures, let alone study them carefully.
After listening to the story, everyone came to a realization and looked at Ren Zhongyuan with admiration. As for Lin Yi, his identity as the real murderer was confirmed. He was the only one who had the opportunity and conditions to poison Ren Zhongyuan. No matter what, he was the first suspect.
"That doesn't prove that Lin Yi was the one who poisoned it. You know so much about it, who knows if you were the one who caught the heart-piercing anemone to frame Lin Yi!" Ning Xuefei retorted without hesitation.
"That's right. You're the only one who said it from the beginning. We don't know about the heart-piercing sea anemone, and you're the only one who knows about it. Doesn't that mean that you're also a big suspect of poisoning the plant?" Huo yudie said coldly.
"Martial sister Yu die, don't be blinded by this villain. As the old saying goes, the onlooker sees more clearly. Between me and him, I believe that everyone here can see clearly who is more suspicious of poisoning!" Ren Zhongyuan looked as if he had been greatly wronged. He suddenly turned to the crowd and said,""Me and Lin Yi, who do you guys think it is?"
"Lin Yi! Of course it's Lin Yi!" More than half of the East province's disciples here had to follow his orders, so it was obvious what choice he would make.
Huo yudie and ning Xuefei were worried. If this went on, these people would force Lin Yi to use the soul-searching technique on him again. At this time, Liu Ziyu waved to the crowd and finally declared,"Lin Yi's a suspect, but I'll only keep him under surveillance until we find evidence. If the two of you attack the Fuma without permission, you can try."
Ren Zhongyuan and Yi Xiaotian, who had deliberately created this scene, were speechless at this moment. This old woman was too much of a hindrance!
However, although they were complaining, Liu Ziyu's absolute strength was there for all to see. If they dared to jump out at this time, they would only be cannon fodder. No one was a fool, so they could only choose to shut up resentfully.
"Very good. Since you all think that we can't act rashly, then you should think about what kind of antidote there is. As for the truth, we can talk about it after the investigation. If you don't have any decisive evidence and only rely on such wrangling, we might as well wait for death." Liu Ziyu's tone was unyielding.
Lin Yi looked at Liu Ziyu, a little surprised. He didn't have much contact with this Big Shot of the school before, especially after the incident where he forced Huo yudie to make a deal with Ren Zhongyuan. His impression of her wasn't very good, but now it had changed.
The big boss was a woman, but she was decisive. She followed the crowd's wishes and kept Lin Yi under surveillance. She didn't convict Lin Yi, but it calmed the crowd.
