Chapter 306: Secret Investigation
Qin Ding seemed to have suddenly thought of something and guessed, "His horse suddenly lost control at that time. Could it be Zhang Ji's fault?"
"Now that you mention it, I think it's possible!"
"Does Zhang Ji want to harm those two people?"
"What if he not only wants to harm them, but is lurking among us according to the tribe leader's will? Wouldn't that be worse?"
"Yes! What if he is set up here by the clan leader to test us? Wouldn't our whereabouts be exposed?"
Tie Jinjue's men talked at once.
"I always thought that the men I sent out were extremely reliable. I never expected something like this to happen this time." Tie Jinjue felt that the matter was a bit serious and asked, "In his previous actions, he has never been as suspicious as this time?"
"That's true!" one of the men said, "Could it be that he was just placed here by the clan leader?"
"That is to say, the clan leader has begun to doubt us?"
"No wonder the clan leader wanted to check on us today. This has never happened before!"
"The clan leader checked on you today because he heard from others that the man in black looked like one of you." Tie Jinjue said.
Qin Ding said: "Isn't this just an excuse?"
“I don’t know…” Tie Jinjue thought for a moment and said, “At the moment, we can’t tell whether the clan leader has any suspicions about us. You must be more careful in the future!”
"Yes, Elder Tie, please rest assured, we know!"
"To avoid arousing suspicion, you must not leave Tiecang Court tonight. Tomorrow...tomorrow we still have to secretly investigate the situation of those two people...if they have passed away...then bury them quietly to avoid their bodies being insulted. But, you must be extra careful!" Tie Jinjue thought of the kindness Fei Cunyi had shown him, and felt a little sad. "Elder Tie, will you take Zhang Ji with you on tomorrow's operation?" Qin Ding asked.
Tie Jinjue thought for a moment and said, "Take him with you! If he is not an undercover agent, it is fine for him to go. If he really has ulterior motives towards us, then he already knows that we helped the two escape. So we can just take him with us tomorrow to check on the two and see how he reacts."
"We understand!"
"From today on, you must make sure that there is always one of our people around Zhang Ji. Don't let him go out alone to do anything. It's best at the same time to make sure he doesn't feel uncomfortable, so that he doesn't take any measures to deal with it." Tie Jinjue said.
The next day, which was the day Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan passed away, shortly after the sun came out, Tie Jinjue's men secretly began to look for Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan, and Zhang Ji was among them.
They searched the ruins of the cave collapse, but did not find any bodies. The other exit of the cave was large and was not completely damaged when the cave collapsed. Tie Jinjue's men judged that they might have escaped from the other exit of the cave. They knew that even if Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan could escape the cave, Fei Cunyi had been poisoned by the flying cone and it would be difficult for him to survive.
"Do you want to continue looking?" Zhang Ji asked.
"What's your opinion?" Qin Ding asked deliberately.
"Oh...I'll listen to you...I'm just asking." Zhang Ji said.
"Do you think we should continue searching?" Qin Ding asked the other subordinates of Tie Jinjue.
"Look! Go up the mountain and try."
