Chapter 2001: Continue Investigating
Seeing this, Su Yunling led Gu Zhiqi to his private booth, "Let’s eat a bit more then."
While waiting for the dishes, Su Yunling looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Did you discover anything?"
Upon hearing this, a look of regret suddenly appeared on Gu Zhiqi’s face.
Seeing this, Su Yunling thought she hadn’t discovered anything and was about to comfort her when Gu Zhiqi said, "Initially, her level of suspicion was sixty percent, and now, it’s eighty percent."
Su Yunling naturally knew that the ’her’ Gu Zhiqi was referring to was Ling Muyan.
However, he didn’t quite understand why Gu Zhiqi would say this, so he asked curiously, "How did her level of suspicion increase?"
Gu Zhiqi did not directly answer Su Yunling’s question but instead asked, "Have you ever heard of the saying ’Proving one’s path by killing one’s wife’?"
As soon as Gu Zhiqi said this, Su Yunling was slightly stunned but then his expression changed immediately.

After leaving the Shadow Pavilion, Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling returned to the Law Enforcement Hall.
As soon as they got back to the Law Enforcement Hall, the two of them went to the surveillance room again.
Gu Zhiqi not only had Chubby Chiu check the surveillance of the Immortal Medical Alliance’s Scripture Pavilion but also checked the surveillance outside Ling Yilin’s courtyard and when the Great Elder went to see Xiao Yixue.
As soon as he entered the surveillance room, Chubby Chiu placed the retrieved image data on the computer.
After placing the data on the computer, Chubby Chiu said to Gu Zhiqi, "Through tracking, I’ve discovered that in all three actions, after that person’s tracks disappear, Ling Muyan always appears, so your suspicion should be correct."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi raised her eyebrows, opened the image data, and began to look at them one by one.
First was the surveillance from the day the Great Elder and the Third Elder were killed.
At eleven thirty, "Ling Zhiyu" exited the Scripture Pavilion and then went directly to the Great Elder’s courtyard.
At twelve, she arrived at the Great Elder’s courtyard.
At twelve fifteen, "Ling Zhiyu" left the Great Elder’s courtyard.
At twelve forty-five, the figure of "Ling Zhiyu" disappeared in a blind spot of the surveillance.
At one o’clock and three minutes, "Ling Yilin" left his own courtyard.
From the place where "Ling Zhiyu" disappeared to Ling Yilin’s courtyard, the journey takes about five to fifteen minutes.
An ancient martial artist using vital energy can do it in five minutes, a regular person would need fifteen minutes.
Therefore, the murderer had ample time to reach Ling Yilin’s courtyard from the surveillance blind spot.
At one twenty, "Ling Yilin" entered the Third Elder’s courtyard.
At two o’clock, "Ling Yilin" came out of the Third Elder’s courtyard.
At two thirty, "Ling Yilin" disappeared in the surveillance blind spot.
At three, Ling Muyan and Lin Ruoxue walked out of the Drifting Snow Tea House.
From where "Ling Yilin" disappeared to reaching the Drifting Snow Tea House, for an ancient martial artist, it would take at least twenty minutes, for a regular person, it would take forty minutes.
And Ling Muyan and Lin Ruoxue entered the tea house at ten in the morning.
Ling Muyan is an ancient martial artist and could completely, upon reaching the tea house, apply an invisibility talisman and return to the Immortal Medical Alliance to commit a crime.
As for Lin Ruoxue, Gu Zhiqi had asked, under hypnosis.
Even under hypnosis, Lin Ruoxue said that after entering the tea house, she and Ling Muyan were always together drinking tea.
However, upon closer questioning, it was discovered that Lin Ruoxue couldn’t describe many detailed aspects.
It seemed very much like she had been hypnotized in advance.
And the person who hypnotized Lin Ruoxue, Gu Zhiqi suspected, was Ling Muyan.
If Ling Muyan is indeed a hypnotist, then when Gu Zhiqi hypnotizes her to ask questions, Ling Muyan could easily hypnotize herself first.
Thus, in a state of being questioned under hypnosis, she would only speak the answers she had predetermined.
