Chapter 421 Clumsy Slander

According to the itinerary, Li Qian was going to go outside the city today to see if he could catch other rat pets.

However, after hearing Bai Bingbing say that he could record other ruins statues and stone murals, he was not polite and started to work with great interest.

After breakfast, he put on VR glasses and went into the temple complex. Because he had seen it yesterday, the scanning efficiency was particularly high.

It only took about an hour for Li Qian to record all the statues and stone murals that he had spent most of the day to see yesterday.

When returning to the camp near the stone tower, Li Qian saw that most people had disappeared, so he asked, "Where are Teacher Liang and the others?"

"They went into the underground palace again." Bai Bingbing replied.

"Let's go in too." Li Qian was going to go outside the city today, so he didn't delay and walked straight to the stone tower, wanting to record the statues and stone murals inside as soon as possible.

In addition, Li Qian was also going to ask Teacher Liang about the strange dance on the mural.

Soon they entered the stone tower corridor, and soon they came to the underground palace they visited yesterday.

At this moment, the underground palace was very lively. Teacher Yang, Teacher Huang, and Teacher Liang led the team, surrounded by a large group of students, and were giving explanations.

Li Qian saw this scene and had no intention of going over. The content of these teachers' lectures was certainly important, but in comparison, it was more urgent to record the content of the statues and stone murals.

So he turned on the VR glasses and scanned them carefully, while Bai Bingbing joined Teacher Liang's explanation team and began to listen to the class.

Irina found a corner and closed her eyes to rest. She was not interested in the courses taught by the teachers or the statues and stone murals in the underground palace.

Li Qian looked at it and did not pay attention to the surrounding environment. He scanned the content of the stone murals in the underground palace and turned into the first stone chamber.

But just after turning in and taking a glance, he was dumbfounded and stood there, because he saw that on one wall of the first stone chamber, the stone murals had been scratched with several scratches.

The stone murals on this wall have been damaged a lot, and the complete content can no longer be seen.

And from the traces, it can be seen that these scratches should have been scratched not long ago.

Li Qian was a little numb. Which idiot did this? There are still a large team of archaeologists in the underground palace. Are they really not afraid to go in and step on the sewing machine?

"Li Qian, why are you destroying the murals!" Just when Li Qian was a little confused, he didn't know who suddenly shouted.

Li Qian subconsciously turned his head and saw a fleeting figure. Li Qian thought about it and it seemed to be a member of the Shazhou Defense University team.

Seeing this scene, Li Qian couldn't help twitching his mouth. He didn't expect that such a low-level trap would appear on him.

"I..." Li Qian shook his head helplessly, thought about it, and probably had a goal. At this time, he didn't do anything else and just stayed where he was.

At this moment, if he left, it would be really hard to explain. And he couldn't leave after being yelled at by that person.

Soon, the large group came over. They also saw the scratches on the murals, and then looked at Li Qian with strange eyes.

"Li Qian, why do you want to destroy the relics and cultural relics? You know, destroying relics and cultural relics is a serious crime!" A horse-faced boy shouted loudly.

"Yeah, this guy is not a good person at first glance!"

"I have disliked him for a long time. He looks like a thief."

"..."

"The archaeological site is an important place. It is irresponsible to let someone who knows nothing do it."

The last sentence was said by the leader of the Shazhou Defense University, that is, "Teacher Huang".

Li Qian couldn't help frowning when listening to these insults and slanders.

Not knowing the truth, it's okay to say that he destroyed the relics and cultural relics here, but saying that he has a thief is a bit too much. This is a personal attack.

And that teacher Huang, who made a rash conclusion without knowing right from wrong, not only slandered Li Qian, but also implicated Teacher Liang. He is not a good person.

No wonder the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

Yes, at this moment, Li Qian has almost thought it through and locked on a few targets to frame him.

Li Qian glanced at everyone coldly, and then walked straight over, "Just now, the person who shouted was you, right?"

Even with just a quick glance, Li Qian roughly judged through the outline of the figure that the person who just shouted should be the horse-faced boy in front of him.

"What's wrong, the matter is exposed, do you still want to kill to silence it?" The horse-faced boy saw Li Qian's burning eyes looking at him, and he was suddenly panicked with a guilty conscience, but soon he gathered his courage and confronted Li Qian.

Li Qian chuckled and took a few steps closer. "I haven't summoned a single pet, so why are you trying to silence me? Besides, there are three teachers and people from the Investigation Bureau here, and they will definitely investigate the right and wrong. I haven't destroyed the ruins, so why should I be afraid?"

"You said you didn't destroy the ruins, so how do you explain this situation?" Teacher Huang pointed at the scratched stone mural and asked.

Li Qian looked at Mr. Huang and smiled contemptuously. No matter why this guy was targeting him, he just said back, "Mr. Huang, what does this mean? You can't just say that I shit when you see a pile of shit in front of me!"

Many students couldn't help but frown after hearing this, thinking that this was rude.

Li Qian didn't care at all. After all, the words were rough but the truth was true. He continued, "I want to ask, classmate, have we met before?"

"No." The horse-faced boy nodded a little blankly, not knowing why Li Qian asked this question.

Li Qian continued to ask, "Since we have never met before, how did you call out my name just now?"

"I heard from others that it's not possible, and what does this have to do with your destruction of the ruins?" The horse-faced boy insisted that Li Qian had destroyed the ruins.

Li Qian looked directly into the other person's pupils and asked in a somewhat joking voice: "Are you sure that I destroyed the ruins here with my own hands?"

"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, you were the only one inside at the time." The horse-faced boy's tone shrank a little, and his momentum weakened a little.

He didn't know where Li Qian's confidence came from. He was just taking money to do things for others. If he got himself involved, it would be more trouble than gain, so he didn't say it.

But at the end of the conversation, he realized that he had fallen into Li Qian's trap.

His answer proved that the person who just shouted was indeed himself, and it would not be so easy to get away silently.

Li Qian stared at the horse-faced boy and said in a lukewarm voice: "In other words, you didn't see me destroy the ruins, but just saw me staying with the destroyed ruins?"

"Is there any difference?" The horse-faced boy said subconsciously.

Li Qian's mouth twitched, and he felt sorry for this guy's IQ. "The difference is huge. There is a huge difference between being at the crime scene and being a criminal."

"But you were the only one at the scene at the time. If you can't prove your innocence..." Teacher Huang began to support his students.

Although he didn't finish his words, his meaning was very clear.

At this time, Teacher Liang walked out of the crowd and said in a neutral voice: "Li Qian, are you sure these scratches have nothing to do with you?"

"Yeah." Li Qian nodded, and cooperated with Teacher Liang's question, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Although they had not known each other for long, Mr. Liang should have known him to some extent. Thinking of this, he added, "I can't find any reason to destroy this place!"

"And I feel sorry and even heartbroken for the destruction of these relics."

The horse-faced boy glanced at everyone and saw that they were somewhat persuaded. He immediately followed Li Qian's words and continued to slander, "Who knows why you want to destroy the relics here? What ulterior motives do you have that you won't tell us?"

"I believe in Li Qian!" As soon as the horse-faced boy said this, Bai Bingbing stood up and supported him without hesitation.

"I also believe in Li Qian!" A girl who had a good relationship with Bai Bingbing also stood up.

"It's useless to believe or not. The right and wrong will be determined!" Teacher Huang spoke again, his voice quite serious.

At this moment, Mr. Yang, who had been standing by and watching the show, a male teacher who looked only in his early thirties, suddenly said, "Everything must be based on evidence."

"Yes, everything must be based on evidence, so I hope that, whether it is Li Qian or other students, if it is really done by one of you, it is best to take the initiative to admit it, so that we can give you a lighter sentence. If you wait until the evidence is brought up, you will have to bear the consequences yourself." Teacher Liang continued, and her words were already a subtle threat.

If she hadn't brought Li Qian in, Teacher Huang would have protested at this moment, of course, even if she protested, it would definitely be useless.

"Don't think that this archaeological excavation is about to end, and we have no protection measures for these cultural relics, right?" Teacher Liang said in a calm voice.

Her words made the horse-faced boy tremble with fear, worried that the matter would be exposed, but after thinking carefully, he felt that the archaeological team would definitely not be able to produce evidence, so he was ready to hold on.

Li Qian would not give up. He said confidently, "Teacher Liang, I did not destroy the ruins here. When I came in, the ruins here had been destroyed!"

"Okay, very good. Since you have chosen to fight hard, I can only ask for evidence!" As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a furry, puppy-sized, white-haired pet that looked like a snowball appeared in front of everyone.

Teacher Liang pointed at the little beast that looked like a snowball and said, "This pet is called 'Time Spirit'. It is an extremely rare time-based pet that can go back to a certain range of time."
