Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Wu Qi naturally wouldn't refuse the other party's kindness. Besides, he had two Super Douluo behind him, so he wasn't afraid of the other party playing tricks.

However, He Niannian definitely cannot stay until the other party's identity is confirmed.

To ensure her safety, Wu Qi took her with him out of the city to search for new clues.

On the way, Chen Ping said, "Brother Wu, I feel like he should know us."

"Before we arrived, he spoke with great confidence in his conversation with the Golden Gong Soul Saint. After we arrived, his tone of voice became noticeably hesitant."

"They seemed surprised and taken aback that we came from the Spirit Hall."

Qian Gu Chang Kong's hand rested on his shoulder. "I say, Chen Ping, if Brother Wu hadn't seen this, how could he have so easily believed the other party's one-sided story?"

"You should really study more."

Wu Qi smiled and guessed, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be Wu Qinan, the head of the Wu family."

“I once saw ‘two’ Wu Qinan at the mansion; the other one was likely his double.”

"At this moment, the Wu Qinan who is in charge of the Wu family is most likely a stand-in, while the real Wu Qinan may have already come here to investigate intelligence."

Chen Ping couldn't help but ask, "A double certainly doesn't have the abilities of the original. Once they're exposed, wouldn't that make the Wu family's situation even more difficult?"

Wu Qi shrugged and said, "A Soul Master of the Soul Douluo level with agility-based attack can travel between the two places in five days."

“Wu Qinan has arranged a ten-day mission for his stand-in. As long as the timing is right, he won’t be exposed. Besides, he doesn’t come here every ten days. He also needs time to process new information.”

During the conversation, the group arrived at the location indicated by Wu Qinan.

There's nothing special here; everything is just a blanket of white.

But upon closer inspection, it does indeed seem a bit strange.

Qian Gu Chang Kong probed the snow with his martial spirit and immediately said, "Brother Wu, the ice beneath this snowfield is much thinner than in other places."

Snowflakes don't freeze into ice immediately; it takes time and temperature changes.

The varying thickness of the ice layer suggests that there is likely something underground.

Qian Gu Chang Kong swung his dragon-coiled staff, raising a cloud of snow dust that revealed the solid ice beneath. He continued to smash down with the staff, soon revealing several coffins.

"These coffins are new; they must have been used for burial recently. What did that guy do here for?"

Before Qian Gu Chang Kong could come up with a solution, Wu Qi urged him to open the coffin.

Throughout the entire Häagen-Dazs kingdom, summer lasts only a short time, and it snows for most of the year.

Because of the cold weather, the body would not decompose easily, so what was presented to everyone was a mummified corpse.

However, the coffin was new.

A mummified body wouldn't form in a short time, so it's clear that the body was buried a long time ago.

He Niannian exclaimed, "This is Lord Charles!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at her.

When He Niannian awakened her martial spirit, she was young, but because of her aspirations for the future, she remembered Charles's clothes that day.

Furthermore, Charles's clothing was quite distinctive, and even after many years, He Niannian could recognize him at a glance.

Wu Qi said, "It seems that Wu Qinan spent a long time finding Charles's body before reburying him."

Since the body had not turned to bones, the wounds on its body were still clearly visible.

Clearly, Charles fought back fiercely when attacked, but ultimately could not escape his fate of death.

"It's quite remarkable that Wu Qinan was able to locate the body."

Qian Gu Chang Kong couldn't help but speculate, "Brother Wu, is it possible that that guy isn't Wu Qinan, but someone from the Xinshan Sect?"

...The answer was soon revealed.

When Wu Qi and his companions returned to their base, the man in black was still there.

However, at this moment, he has removed his mask, revealing his true appearance.

Wu Qi's prediction was correct; he was indeed Wu Qinan.

According to his own account, ever since he learned that the Wu family had been framed, he had secretly come to the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom to investigate multiple times.

His first thought, of course, was to find Charles and find out what was going on.

But after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find any trace of the other person.

Finally, a month ago, he discovered the clues.

"The surrounding area was covered by heavy snow, but after a careful search, I still found the marks Charles left during his escape nearby, and in that area, I found his remains."

Under these circumstances, Wu Qinan naturally realized that he had been deceived.

But each letter Charles sent back had to pass through at least two people before reaching him.

The gatekeeper would receive all the letters, and the steward would personally screen them before presenting them to Wu Qinan's desk.

Of course, some family members helped screen the letters. But the main suspects were these two.

Chen Ping asked, "Charles' handwriting can't be imitated, can it?"

Wu Qinan sighed, “When Charles fought alongside me in my early years, he injured his spine. His hands would tremble uncontrollably, so his confidants would handle all the letters, leaving behind the mark that I had made with him.”

He Niannian can also corroborate this point.

Therefore, as long as the agreed-upon symbols are cracked by others, anyone can communicate with Wu Qinan in Charles's voice.

Wu Qinan understood perfectly well that he had been completely used as a shield by the Xinshan Sect.

He had given up hope of clearing his name and was now planning to perish together with the Xinshan Sect.

He Niannian was arrested in order to find out the situation of the mine.

In his plan, He Niannian would find out about the mine's situation and then rescue a group of miners as witnesses.

Then, by self-destructing, he completely engulfed the Xinshan Sect, and then, with the help of the Heaven Dou Empire, he killed them!

Even if he can't survive, at least he won't let the other person have an easy time!
"How did you know He Niannian?" Wu Qi asked.

Wu Qinan chuckled self-deprecatingly, “The soul tool on Charles was indeed taken by the murderer, but he would put important information in another small soul tool.”

Perhaps knowing he was doomed, Charles dropped the small soul tool at a nearby marker.

Among them is information about He Niannian's martial spirit awakening.

Fortunately, Wu Qinan discovered this soul tool.

At first, he really didn't know who He Niannian was.

But he was near the mine when He Niannian was attacked last night. He happened to hear He Niannian's identity from those Xinshan Sect disciples.

To avoid being exposed, he did not follow, believing that He Niannian had already been killed.

Unexpectedly, when I entered the city this morning, I saw He Niannian walking out of her room.

Wu Qi was worried that He Niannian would be exposed, so he specially arranged for people to protect her.

Unexpectedly, even the most meticulous plans can have a flaw.

On her way to her room to rest, He Niannian was discovered by Wu Qinan.

But this turned out to be a blessing in disguise; from Wu Qinan, they obtained the final piece of the truth. (End of Chapter)
