Bloodstained Hero's Clothes

Chapter 1244: The Evidence is Conclusive (I)

Ling'er jogged all the way and caught up with Qi Yang and the others after turning two big corners. They were not in a hurry to go out to see what was going on outside as they had said before, but walked out slowly while talking in low voices.

As soon as Ling'er heard it, she understood that they were talking about Liao Yu's collaborating with the enemy.

"Impossible! Senior Brother would never do that!" Liu Kun couldn't believe it.

"I have evidence!" Without waiting for Qi Yang to speak, Ling'er took out the white handkerchief that had wiped Liao Yu's dagger and spread it out in front of Liu Kun.

Liu Kun used a tinderbox to take a look and saw some sawdust stuck on the white handkerchief. There were not many sawdust, but they were of various shades of color.

"What is this?" Liu Kun asked in confusion.

"Fresh sawdust left when the dagger was used to carve marks on different tree trunks." Qi Yang answered briefly.

Ling Er was worried that Liu Kun didn't understand, so she further explained: "The different colors of sawdust are because the bark of the trees is different in color. It's very unusual to have fresh sawdust from a single species on the dagger, not to mention fresh sawdust from multiple trees!"

Liu Kun thought of the series of strange movements that Ling'er had made after borrowing the dagger from his senior brother, and he immediately realized that Ling'er was secretly collecting evidence at that time. And this evidence was so convincing that he had to believe it. If this was true, then it would make sense that the officers and soldiers were able to find the cave before them and set up an ambush outside the cave in advance. Perhaps this could also explain why those officers and soldiers were able to chase to Longshan Temple so quickly yesterday. It wasn't that the other party was lucky, but that there was a traitor among them!

Seeing Liu Kun's depressed look and silent eyes, Qi Yang continued, "It was he who caused the two young disciples of your sect to fall into a coma."

"I thought I was careless..." Liu Kun whispered. It was hard to tell whether he was relieved that he didn't accidentally hurt his two junior brothers, or disappointed that his eldest brother repeatedly hurt his junior brothers.

"No, it's not you! Because there was no 'Comfrey' or 'Oleander' in the medicine box and you accidentally touched it when you were searching! It was Liao Yu who sprinkled 'Purple Red Powder' on their wounds while Senior Brother Pan went to the cave entrance to look for you!" Ling'er added.

"The two junior brothers did fall into a coma during the time when the third senior brother came out." Liu Kun said in a deep voice, with powerlessness in his voice, "In fact, before we set out, Master privately told me to be more careful on the way. I also heard Master mention the incident with the eldest senior brother, but we all thought that the eldest senior brother was coerced by the enemy and had no choice but to do it. I never thought that the eldest senior brother would make mistakes again and again and do such a thing! He should know how dangerous it would put his fellow brothers! Look at the two little junior brothers, if Ling'er hadn't brought so many medicinal herbs with him, I dare not even think about what would happen to them!"

Seeing that Liu Kun's eyes were red, Ling'er quickly took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to him.

Liu Kun didn't take it, but turned sideways and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Qi Yang and Ling'er looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Liu Kun calmed down and asked Qi Yang, "What should we do next? Should I go tell Third Senior Brother about this first?"

"No!" Qi Yang and Ling'er objected in unison.
