I Have A Martial Arts Panel Chapter 64 – Investigate

Chapter 64: Investigate

Kangyun County.

Black Armored Guards Commander Room.

Inside Wei Changqing’s study, a Black Armored Guard entered and submitted an urgent report.

“A Magic Faction again!”

When Wei Changqing finished browsing the emergency report, a solemn expression appeared on his face, with a hint of helplessness.

He came to Kangyun County to avoid troubles, but in recent days, troubles kept happening one after another.

“We were not able to investigate the origin of the Magic Faction warrior that appeared previously, but now there is another case of a suspected Magic Faction warrior…”

Although he felt annoyed, Wei Changqing knew that this was a dangerous signal.

If this was not resolved, Kangyun County might slowly be infiltrated by a Magic Faction.

“Ask other guard stations to assist Maple Lane to conduct a joint search… Let’s lead the guards and send some people to the gate of the city, to monitor the exits and entries.”

Wei Changqing ordered his subordinate.

“Yes, Master Commander.”

…

Xu Ning and Tao Qingping had just reached Nie Xiaowei’s family house.

The shabby courtyard had been completely occupied by city guards.

Nie Xiaowei’s parents and younger brother were gathered together.

When they heard that Nie Xiaowei might be a Magic Faction martial artist, they began to tremble and lose strength in their legs.

Although generally speaking, killing a Magic Faction martial artist would not involve the martial artist’s family, but after seeing the terrifying aura of these city guards in front of them, they were afraid that they would never see the sun again once they were put in prison.

“Master Lieutenant!”

As soon as Xu Ning arrived, the city guard took the initiative to salute him.

Nie Xiaowei’s parents and younger brother were even more frightened.

“Have you found any useful clues?”

Xu Ning asked the leading city guard.

The city guard leader shook his head. “Sir, we have questioned Miss Nie’s family, but we couldn’t find any clues. They don’t know that Miss Nie is a Magic Faction warrior, nor did they know that Miss Nie had killed someone.”

“Furthermore, we also searched this place, but we didn’t find any evidence involving a Magic Faction.”

After hearing this, Xu Ning glanced at Nie Xiaowei’s family and asked, “Are you sure they haven’t lied?”

“Um…”

The city guard felt that there was nothing wrong, but he dared not say anything, so he said, “Master, I will take them back to the guard station for another interrogation to be sure.”

“No, sir, we really didn’t know that little bastard is a Magic Faction warrior. If we knew, we would have definitely reported it to you in advance!”

When the mother heard that she was going to be interrogated, she burst into tears and quickly explained.

Xu Ning and Tao Qingping frowned at the same time.

‘How can a mother speak about her daughter like this?’

“Master…”

The leading city guard leaned forward. “Miss Nie is not the biological daughter of the two. She is an adopted daughter.”

“Keep your mouth clean.”

Tao Qingping walked forward and pointed at the woman.

“Yes… yes, master…”

The lady went silent.

Tao Qingping was furious.

‘No wonder she let her daughter become a mistress of an old man, she’s not her biological daughter.’

Tao Qingping suspected that Nie Xiaowei was abused at home.

“Qingping.”

Xu Ning walked next to Tao Qingping and motioned for him to calm down.

After all, Nie Xiaowei was suspected to be a magic martial artist. With that in mind, Tao Qingping’s actions could be easily misunderstood.

Tao Qingping was also aware of this problem, so he turned his head away.

“Has Nie Xiaowei come back or contacted you since last night?”

Xu Ning looked at the three of them and asked.

“No, absolutely not!”

The three quickly explained.

“After she married Shopkeeper Yao, we never saw her again.”

The woman replied.

Xu Ning carefully observed the expressions of the three, but he found nothing unusual for the time being.

“Doesn’t Nie Xiaowei have a childhood sweetheart?”

Xu Ning asked.

The woman was taken aback. She didn’t expect Xu Ning to know this.

But she didn’t dare to delve deeper into this, so she could only answer truthfully, “She does… and that person is named Yang Yicheng. He lives in the house opposite to us…”

“Qingping, let’s go and take a look.”

Xu Ning walked across the street. Tao Qingping and two city guards followed suit.

“Open the door!”

A city guard slammed the door hard.

The door opened, and behind the door was a middle-aged woman with a haggard face.

After seeing the city guard, she looked nervous, but not surprised.

She had witnessed the scene of city guards entering the house across the street.

“Is Yang Yicheng here?”

Xu Ning asked her.

“He is…”

The middle-aged woman answered timidly.

“Tell him to come outside.”

Xu Ning and others walked into the courtyard, but did not enter the house.

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, but she eventually agreed.

After a while, a pale and frail young man came out.

The young man looked scrawny and nerdy.

When he saw the black armor uniform on Xu Ning and Tao Qingping, his expression obviously changed.

Xu Ning noticed this change.

“Are you familiar with Nie Xiaowei?”

Xu Ning went straight to the point.

“Unfamiliar.”

Yang Yicheng answered simply, “How can I be familiar with another man’s… mistress?”

Xu Ning’s eyes narrowed. “Answer truthfully, I don’t have the time to play games.”

Yang Yicheng looked like he was angry about Nie Xiaowei’s status as a mistress, but Xu Ning also sensed a hint of resentment.

“We were childhood friends…”

Yang Yicheng explained, “Later on, when we grew up, we were compatible, but her parents felt that I was not worthy, so we broke contact…”

“Broke contact?”

Xu Ning suddenly smiled. He then stared at Yang Yicheng. “One more lie, and I will kill you like you’re part of a Magic Faction.”

Yang Yicheng was taken aback for a moment. He couldn’t react for a while.

“Kid, be honest in front of Master Lieutenant!”

The city guard who followed him took a step forward. “Miss Nie is involved with a Magic Faction we are investigating. If you don’t cooperate, we can only treat you as an accomplice of the Magic Faction!”

When the middle-aged woman next to him heard this, she panicked. “Yicheng, cooperate with these gentlemen!”

“One more time, when was the last time you saw Nie Xiaowei?”

Xu Ning asked.

Yang Yicheng was under Xu Ning’s towering pressure. He seemed to be hesitant.

“Two months ago… because of physical reasons, I rarely went out. The last time I saw her was two months ago.”

A drop of sweat appeared on Yang Yicheng’s forehead.

Xu Ning sneered when he heard this. He then reached out his finger and pressed it into Yang Yicheng’s shoulder.

“Ah!”

Yang Yicheng suddenly felt a sting near his shoulder, like a needle had pierced his skin. He nearly fainted.

Xu Ning had just activated his force.

“Take him away, this person is an accomplice of the Magic Faction, and he will be taken to the station to be executed!”

After that, Xu Ning turned around and left.

The two city guards looked at each other. Both of them were confused.

They did not see what was wrong with Yang Yicheng’s explanation.

‘Could it be that Master Lieutenant couldn’t find Nie Xiaowei, so he wanted to find a scapegoat to appease the higher-ups?’

But despite the doubts in their hearts, they still obeyed the orders.

Tao Qingping also looked puzzled.

He walked next to Xu Ning.

“Master, you are mistaken!”

The middle-aged woman knelt down and begged for mercy.

But the two city guards ignored her and escorted Yang Yicheng away.

Yang Yicheng, who was held firmly by the two city guards, said nothing. He had a look of determination in his eyes.

“Xu Ning, what are you…”

Tao Qingping obviously disagreed with Xu Ning’s approach.

“What, you don’t understand?”

Xu Ning asked Tao Qingping.

“I don’t understand.” Tao Qingping shook his head, “Is he really an accomplice of the Magic Faction?”

“Nope.”

Xu Ning replied: “But he lied.”

“Lied?”

Tao Qingping raised an eyebrow.

“The last time he saw Nie Xiaowei was definitely not two months ago.”

Xu Ning’s tone was confident.
