After seeing the person's face clearly, I took a deep breath, and even my spine broke out in a cold sweat.
It's hard to guard against a thief in the family!
I was a little hesitant, but in order to figure out the whole thing, I knocked on Dai Nanzhou's door.
"Zhou Yi?
Weren't you summoning the spirit? Are you done already? "Dai Nanzhou was surprised when he opened the door and saw me. He let me in as he spoke.
"Are you the only one in the room?"
After entering the door, I glanced around and asked Dai Nanzhou.
After getting an affirmative answer from him, I used my Daoist energy to seal the entire room so that outsiders couldn't hear any sounds in the room.
"Zhou Yi, what's wrong with you?
Why are you being so mysterious? "
Dai Nanzhou was a little surprised by my strange behavior, and his tone became solemn.
I sat down in the living room of the suite and lit a cigarette. I said seriously, "Tell me about this Wu Dengke."
"This person is a veteran of the company. He followed my uncle to build the company more than ten years ago. My uncle has always relied on him. This person is also very popular in the company …"
Dai Nanzhou seemed to have noticed something from my solemn expression. He changed the topic and said, "Zhou Yi, what do you mean?
Are you suspecting Wu Dengke?
How is that possible? "
I smiled and said, "Why can't it be him?"
Dai Nanzhou looked confident. "Wu Dengke is a veteran of the company, and he is my uncle's right-hand man. He spared no effort to help me with the development of the real estate. Before you came, he stayed in the hospital for more than a week because of overwork. His feelings for the company are obvious to everyone in the company!
He would never do such a thing! "
Dai Nanzhou was a smart person. At this moment, he had already understood the meaning in my voice.
I took another puff of the cigarette. "This world is full of deception. The person you trust the most may also be your biggest enemy!"
"Zhou Yi!" Dai Nanzhou raised his voice and shook his head. "I don't believe it!
Wu Dengke is definitely not the one who lured that evil thing here. Not to mention that Wu Dengke is a senior member of the company and has a close relationship with my uncle and me, he doesn't even know any Daoist magic. How could he use such an insidious method? "
After getting along with me for so many years, Dai Nanzhou had never doubted me. His words today also proved that he really trusted Wu Dengke.
However, the truth was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it.
In the kid's memory, the man in the suit who buried the small bottle on the construction site was Wu Dengke!
"Nanzhou, do I really need evidence before you'll believe me?"
I could see that Dai Nanzhou respected Wu Dengke a lot. That's why I didn't care about his suspicion towards me. I just stared into his eyes and said.
"Seeing is believing!
Unless you can produce evidence, unless Wu Dengke personally admits it, I don't believe that Wu Dengke would harm me and the company even if you beat me to death! "Dai Nanzhou was silent for a moment, but he still firmly shook his head.
"If that's the case, I'll show you the evidence," I said. "Do you know about the Soul Searching Seal?"
Dai Nanzhou wasn't a cultivator, but he was a Feng Shui enthusiast. When he was in university, he served as the vice president of the Metaphysics Society, so he had heard about many of these spells and the like.
"I know. It's a method to forcibly search the memory from the soul," Dai Nanzhou said.
"And I've heard people say that the memory of the soul can only be erased, but it can't be changed!
So, Zhou Yi, as long as you can show me that the kid was indeed buried by Wu Dengke on the construction site, I will believe you! "
Dai Nanzhou's tone was a little shaky at the end. I could feel that even now, he still couldn't accept the fact that Wu Dengke was the murderer who harmed him!
I used the Daoist energy in my body and touched Dai Nanzhou's forehead. An undetectable pale golden air instantly drilled into Dai Nanzhou's head.
To put it bluntly, the Soul Searching Seal was to search the memory of the soul from the spirit. This thing was no longer useful to me, so I just put the kid's memory into Dai Nanzhou's head.
Dai Nanzhou was very surprised by the use of this spell, but soon, his face changed from surprise to shock, and then to disbelief and sadness.
Just as Dai Nanzhou had said, no one could fake the memory of the spirit. Now, the fact was in front of us: it was Wu Dengke who had invited the kid!
Dai Nanzhou's face was full of shock. He sat in a daze for a few minutes before he said with a trace of sadness, "How could it be him?
During this period of time, he has been helping me deal with the company's affairs. Without his contribution, this building would never have been completed. Why would he do this? "
I patted Dai Nanzhou's shoulder. The feeling of being betrayed by a brother was very uncomfortable. "Nanzhou, think about it. Everything will pass.
It's hard to draw a tiger's skin, but it's hard to draw its bones.
Let's go and find Wu Dengke. "
According to all the clues, Wu Dengke was just an ordinary man. Perhaps there was something else behind this kid. If we didn't investigate it thoroughly, we would have to face endless troubles.
Dai Nanzhou was shocked. His body slumped on the chair like a pile of mud. It took him a long time to pull himself together. However, his face was still pained. "I've always treated him well. Why would he do this to me?
Why would he treat the company that way? "
After I consoled him for a long time, Dai Nanzhou's emotions gradually calmed down. After all these years of experience, Dai Nanzhou already had the bearing of a great general. However, it was probably because this matter had dealt a huge blow to him that he was still dispirited even when he was about to leave.
The two of us went to Wu Dengke's room and knocked on the door.
Wu Dengke seemed to be talking to someone on the phone. When he saw us, his pupils shrank. Then, he smiled and greeted us warmly. "It's late. What's up? Do you need something from me?
Come in and sit. "
We entered the room. Dai Nanzhou wore a quiet face. However, when Wu Dengke handed us a cup of tea, he suddenly burst out. "Why?
I've always treated you well. Why would you want to harm me? "
Wu Dengke panicked for a moment. However, he immediately reacted and smiled awkwardly. "Nanzhou, what's wrong?
Are you sick? "
Dai Nanzhou pushed away Wu Dengke's hand that was about to cover his head. "Tell me, this isn't true, right?
You didn't put that glass bottle on the construction site, right? "
"Nanzhou, what are you talking about!
Why would I raise a little ghost on the construction site? "Wu Dengke smiled.
I sneered in my heart. This Wu Dengke was really experienced. Even now, he was still playing dumb!
I asked, "How did you know that the small bottle contained a little ghost?"
"Uh … Didn't you say that?
I-I don't know about these things. It's all hearsay. "Wu Dengke dodged my gaze.
The reason why Dai Nanzhou wasn't doing well recently was because of the construction site. Looking at his dark red Fate Palace, there were other reasons for his bad luck.
Otherwise, why would Dai Nanzhou be taken away by the police and say that he violated the law when he signed the contract?
I sneered. "You still won't admit it?"
"Admit … Admit what?"
Wu Dengke wasn't as nervous as before. He probably knew that I was tricking him. His expression returned to his usual shrewd and capable look. "I didn't do anything. What do I admit?
Zhou Yi, I know it's not easy for you to earn money, but if you use this method, it's a bit despicable! "
The meaning of Wu Dengke's words was obvious. He said that I slandered him in order to complete the task and compared me to a swindler.
If it was a normal day, Dai Nanzhou would go crazy after hearing this and would immediately jump out to defend me. However, he was in pain right now. He rubbed his head. Perhaps emotionally, he still couldn't accept the fact that Wu Dengke was the murderer!
I smiled. "Do you really want me to take out the evidence?"
I looked at Dai Nanzhou with pity. It wasn't that I didn't want to expose Wu Dengke, but I felt that if that happened, Dai Nanzhou's heart would hurt even more.
"Hmph, I think you're making something out of nothing!"
Wu Dengke looked like a wronged little wife. "I think you're using me as a scapegoat because you can't find the murderer!
However, I'm telling you, I, Wu Dengke, am not easy to bully! "
"Alright, since you want me to tear off all pretense of cordiality, then I have nothing to say," I said helplessly.
Originally, I planned to persuade Dai Nanzhou to find a reason to send Wu Dengke back to Shenzhen if he admitted it. After all, we were working together, so there was no need to make us enemies.
However, from the looks of it, I was too naive.
Some people wouldn't cry until they saw the coffin!
"The evidence is under your pillow. Wu Dengke, do you dare to lift your pillow and show us?" I pointed at Wu Dengke's pillow and said word by word.
Dai Nanzhou opened his eyes wide and looked at me in shock. Perhaps he didn't believe that I had other evidence to prove that Wu Dengke was the murderer.
Although Little Gui's memory was real and no one could fabricate it, it could only exist in a person's mind after all. It couldn't be presented as irrefutable evidence.
I patted Dai Nanzhou's shoulder and signaled him to calm down.
If Little Gui's memory was a blow to Dai Nanzhou's head, then the evidence under the pillow was a knife that pierced Dai Nanzhou's heart!
Wu Dengke suddenly slumped there. He didn't have the imposing manner he had just now. After being stunned for a long time, his eyes slowly regained their vigor. He looked at me with resentment. "Zhou Yi, when did you start suspecting me?"
Dai Nanzhou's heart skipped a beat. Wu Dengke had already admitted what he had done.
This was a huge blow to Dai Nanzhou.
"I searched the soul of Little Gui at the construction site and found out that you were the one who buried Little Gui!
And when I walked into the room, I faintly felt the aura of witchcraft, "I said.
"As the old saying goes, God is watching what people do. If you don't want people to know, then don't do it!"
Wu Dengke smiled miserably. "I spent a lot of money to invite an expert to do this, but I didn't expect you to see through it in the end!"
