Chapter 34 Conversation
A pair of starry eyes slowly opened.

There seemed to be a gleam of light in his eyes.

“Huh~ I’ve improved again…”

Li Qingfeng's face, which had always been cold and indifferent, couldn't help but reveal a few subtle surprises.

Feeling the "spiritual energy" in the body, it has obviously grown a lot stronger after the hard practice in the past few days.

Every time it grows to a certain level, there is a feeling of self-breakthrough.

According to what Master said before, that is a small realm of Qi training.

And every time you break through a small realm, the amount of mana stored in your body will increase.

Li Qingfeng felt that as long as he made a breakthrough to a small level, he would be able to complete the first level of Qi training.

According to the classification in the book, I am now in the late stage of the first level of Qi training.

This feeling of gradual improvement also made his determination to cultivate and attain enlightenment more and more intense.

Just when Li Qingfeng wanted to continue practicing and work hard to break through to perfection as soon as possible.

"Bang~"

The iron door of the detention center was suddenly knocked, which made him frown.

Some were annoyed at being interrupted in their practice, but the main thing was confusion.

I am currently a criminal, so the police officers don't have to be so polite if they want to come in.

That obviously meant some unusual changes, recalling what Tang Guodong said before leaving.

He suppressed his doubts and asked the person knocking on the door to come in.

"Please come in."

A moment later, the door was opened with the sound of keys.

A middle-aged man walked in first, followed by a man who looked like his assistant.

The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a medium build and a little bit of weight, and a friendly smile on his face.

The assistant beside him looked much younger, with a thin figure and meticulously dressed.

He wore metal glasses and looked no more than thirty years old.

Looking at this strange combination, Li Qingfeng was full of confusion. They didn't look like police officers at all, whether in terms of their clothes or their temperament.

As for reporters, firstly, I don’t have any filming equipment, and secondly, it is unlikely that any reporters would come here to interview me.

Unable to figure out their identities and origins, Li Qingfeng became curious about them.

Similarly, Tan Hui also looked at the young man sitting cross-legged on the bed.

What surprised him was that the boy was much younger than what was shown on the surveillance camera, probably less than 20 years old.

There are still some traces of childishness on his face, but he has a handsome appearance with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a calm temperament with a hint of coldness and arrogance.

It doesn't look young or frivolous.

When he looked at the young man again, he didn't show any panic after he and others came in. Instead, he observed him very calmly.

This made Tan Hui nod in approval, which showed that the young man had a very good character.

He became more and more satisfied with the young man in front of him. He walked to the bed with a smile, pulled a stool from in front of the chair and sat down.

Like an old man from the neighborhood, he sat face to face with Li Qingfeng.

"Young man, your name is Li Qingfeng, right? My name is Tan Hui, and I'm the Director of the Defense Bureau of Wushan City. This is my secretary."

Li Qingfeng was a little surprised when he heard the identity reported by the other party.

Although Old Tang had said that an important person would be coming when they came, he didn't expect that the city director would be involved.

"Director Tan, are you here to arrest me? My case is so serious that it requires the Director to handle it personally?"

As for his disrespectful tone, Tan Hui did not react at all, as if he did not hear it, and the secretary beside him looked at him in surprise.

"Your offense is indeed serious, but it's not serious enough to warrant a visit from a director like me. I came here to talk to you."

Li Qingfeng was a little surprised to hear that they didn't want to arrest him, and he became curious about his final words. "So what do you want to talk about?"

Seeing the curiosity on the boy's face, Tan Hui smiled and continued.

"It's nothing, actually. I'm just a little curious. Judging from your attire, you must be a cultivator, right? Where do you practice?"

Li Qingfeng frowned when he heard the last question. Both of them wanted to know his background.

Don't you know what spiritual practitioners hate most? I obviously don't want to answer this question.

"I am a Taoist priest, but I cannot tell you where the Taoist temple is."

But Director Tan on the opposite side seemed to have expected this result.

There was no reaction on his face, he just continued to speak in a warm tone.

"Well, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. But can you tell me where you got these skills? Was it natural... or was it taught by someone?"

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but at this moment, Li Qingfeng actually felt pressure from the fat middle-aged man in front of him.

This director is obviously just an ordinary person, yet he has such a strong aura.

But obviously, this didn't scare him.

"I told you, I have no comment. You should ask something else. Aren't you here to investigate a homicide? You can ask anything you want."

Tan Hui was obviously a little disappointed with his avoidance of the topic.

The aura that had worked every time for so many years had no effect on this young man.

But he was not discouraged and gestured to the secretary beside him.

The secretary who received the order then handed a stack of documents to Li Qingfeng.

Perhaps seeing the confusion in the eyes of the boy opposite him, Director Tan began to explain.

"This is the report on the murder case you mentioned. According to the investigation, there was a huge amount of blood at the scene, and the murderer's methods were extremely brutal..."

He paused, watching for changes in the boy's expression, but found nothing.

"...After police investigation, a total of eight people died at the scene, all male, the youngest aged 19 and the oldest 26, and they were students at a nearby technical school."

"At the time of the incident, there were only you, a middle-aged man, and a female student..."

"Okay, Director Tan, you don't have to say this. I've already surrendered, haven't I?"

Tan Hui did not feel angry about Li Qingfeng interrupting him. Instead, he felt secretly happy and his movements became much more relaxed.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

After all, they are still young people, and they are impatient and prone to acting on impulse.

Now that I know what he cares about, everything else will be easy.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Master Li, can I call you that? I can see that you are also a person with a sense of justice. We guards don't just focus on evidence without considering morality and practicality..."

"...I've also sent people to investigate those deceased individuals. They were all petty thieves who committed minor crimes frequently. We have a number of criminal records in our database..."

At this point, his tone paused.

"But even so, eight people died, right? Even if it's based on legitimate defense and emergency avoidance, you're still considered excessive self-defense..."

"…Even though you turned yourself in to the police, you'll still be held accountable. You'll likely spend more than a decade, or even decades, in prison."

After saying this, Tan Hui could clearly see that the boy's eyes darkened and became a little depressed.

"You could spend half your life in prison, you could be on TV, and you'd be the one people talk about for a long time as a murderer."

"This is probably not what you want. I understand that you are full of ambition and want to use your own abilities to punish evil and promote good. That's right..."

He leaned forward, his voice becoming deeper and more magnetic.

"…But your method is wrong. Killing and torturing is always the least effective and most troublesome method."
