C1593 The Beginning and the End
It did not make sense that after Gou Su was killed, the person behind this would not be able to discover the Jade Plate.
From this, it could be inferred that the Jade Plate must have been kept by Gou Su through all sorts of means. Perhaps Gou Su also knew about the Devil Spirit.
Looking at the artificial traces of the Jade Plate, Lee Yifann even suspected that the Devil Spirit fur in the Jade Plate was also left behind by Gou Su. It was estimated that there was nothing in the Jade Plate.
All these guesses needed to be investigated and verified one by one.
When they arrived at the foot of the Back Hill, a fence had already been erected at the foot of the mountain, forbidding students from going up the mountain.
"They are all surrounding the fence. It seems like someone must have found something."
Lee Yifann observed the surroundings of the fence and found that there seemed to be some people who looked like security guards nearby.
"There are still people watching. It seems like we cannot rush in recklessly."
If they wanted to rush in, they would definitely be discovered and stopped as if they had ulterior motives.
Zhu Zhiwei had already warned him that he couldn't easily go to the Back Hill. Even if he did, he had to be careful and bypass the surveillance. Otherwise, it would be a small matter if he did not investigate the matter clearly, and he would get himself into trouble.
This warning was still fresh in Lee Yifann's memory.
"Hehe, can you defeat me with just some surveillance? You underestimate me too much."
The corner of Lee Yifann's mouth curled up into a smile, then he disappeared from where he stood.
With his current Spiritual Master strength, he could easily sneak into the mountain without being discovered by anyone.
Unless there was at least a Divinity Stage Soul Master, only then would he be able to detect his existence.
Lee Yifann bypassed the layers of surveillance and arrived at the small hill.
Back Hill was not tall. It was a man-made mountain, but it was only seventy to eighty meters high. There were many trees and many strange rocks, making it look rugged.
Lee Yifann knew that this was just a method to conceal the secrets underneath the layers of rocks. It was estimated that someone had already discovered the secrets of this place when the Shanghai University was first established.
It would take at least a hundred years for this era to come to an end.
Standing on the hill, Lee Yifann released the Spiritual Sense to investigate his surroundings. Then, he finally found a few scattered footsteps in a patch of forest.
"It should be Gou Su who left it behind." Lee Yifann walked over to take a look, then followed the footsteps and walked up.
After walking for a while, he suddenly found that his footsteps had disappeared.
"Is this the end?" Lee Yifann turned his head and looked around. By right, Gou Su should have found the Devil Spirit here.
However...
Lee Yifann observed for a moment but did not find anything strange, not to mention the aura of the Devil Spirit.
"Could it be that you are wrong?"
Lee Yifann frowned and lowered his head to observe the footprints on the ground. He began to analyze and analyze in his mind.
"If Gou Su found the Devil Spirit here, or the traces and aura related to the Devil Spirit, then... Then I should be curious to keep going. Whether or not he knew about the Devil Spirit before this, he should have gone up. However, his footsteps had reached this point. He was now at the highest point of the hill. About ten meters away... "
" On the other hand, if Gou Su didn't find anything, he should go back the way he came. However, there were only footprints that went up, and no footprints that went down. In other words, Gou Su was killed here. "
"However, if he was killed here, he would be in a panic before he died. His body wouldn't be able to control himself and he would fall back. His footsteps would also become messy. But there is no such thing as..."
" That is to say, he suddenly disappeared. That is why there were no messy footprints and there was no trace of blood at the scene. But if that's the case, how did he leave that Jade Plate behind? "
"Did he run up the mountain because he found the Jade Plate somewhere else, or did he run up the mountain and find the Jade Plate?"
He had to find out when the Jade Plate had fallen into Gou Su's hands. This was related to the direction of his investigation.
Unfortunately, no one from the Gou Family had found out about this, and Gou Su had died a long time ago. No one could explain this clearly.
"Let's assume that Gou Su obtained the Jade Plate before he went up the mountain. He discovered the fur of the Devil Spirit in the Jade Plate and knew about the existence of the Devil Spirit. That's why he followed the clues and came here to investigate. Then, he was killed. It was logical to say that everything was true here, but the only thing that was not true was... If he was killed here, the Jade Plate should either have fallen to the ground here. That was all. It should not have appeared in the relics in his room."
Gou Ziqi had already explained earlier that this Jade Plate was found in Gou Su's relics.
According to this speculation, either Gou Su didn't bring the Jade Plate with him when he went up the mountain, or he already knew about the existence of the Devil Spirit. He also knew that he would be killed, so he left the Jade Plate behind in advance.
But if this was the case, there was no other explanation.
He left the Jade Plate in his dormitory and killed his people or the Devil Spirit. Why didn't he rob the place he lived?
One had to know that the Devil Spirit hair in the Jade Plate could very well expose all secrets and expose everything.
Lee Yifann didn't think that the murderer of Gou Su would leave behind such a big mistake.
From this, it could be inferred that this speculation was most likely not valid.
"Let's assume that Gou Su did not obtain the Jade Plate before he went up the mountain. He knew about the Devil Spirit and discovered something strange. He ran to the hill to investigate. When he reached this place, he was suddenly killed by some kind of force. His whole body disappeared, which was why there were no messy footprints under his feet. There were no footprints in the direction of the foot of the mountain either. But if that was the case, he was already dead. Where did the Jade Plate come from? How did he bring the Jade Plate out and place it in his residence?"
Lee Yifann fell into deep thought.
"If this speculation is true, then it means that when Gou Su came to this position, in fact, he didn't die. He just entered a mysterious space. Or it could be said that this is the spatial zone where the Devil Spirit exists. Then, he entered that space. He brought the Jade Plate out or obtained the fur of the Devil Spirit. Then, he escaped from the spatial zone from another direction. That was why the footprints here were so strange. After escaping from the spatial zone, he left the Jade Plate behind. Then, he was killed."
Based on this reasoning, the place where Gou Su was killed was not here. It might not even be on this mountain.
" Mysterious space... "
Lee Yifann's eyes focused. At the same time, he observed his surroundings. If he could find the unique spatial zone of the Devil Spirit, then the second speculation would become a fact.
Based on the current information, the second speculation was undoubtedly far more likely than the first one.
"Since it is a mysterious space, then according to normal logic, if I want to hide this space, I would need to use a formation or some kind of tool. This won't be difficult for me. "
