"Sir, we have found out the whereabouts of the murderer." In Ningxi Town, a man dressed as a guard said to a middle-aged man.

"Who is it?" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man could no longer control his inner anger. The power of a spiritual master emanated from him, making it almost impossible for his subordinates to stand.

"Two people, a man and a woman. This is a portrait drawn according to Lan Yue's description from Yifeng Pavilion."

The man handed over two paintings. In the paintings, the man and woman looked beautiful. One was wearing red clothes with a wild look, and the other was wearing green clothes with a cold look.

The man squeezed the portrait with some force: "Okay, okay, do your best to investigate their identities! They are most likely students of Fengqi College. I want to avenge Ke'er myself!"

After he finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and said in a forced voice: "Have you found the person who humiliated Ke'er in Yifeng Pavilion?"

The guard lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, no, we just know that he has been wearing a mask with a green face and fangs."

“A bunch of rubbish!” The man picked up the watch and threw it at the person, angrily saying, “Keep investigating! I won’t let any of those who killed Ke’er go!”

"Yes!"

"Hey, have you heard? Zhuang Cheng is dead!"

"What! Real or fake?"

"It's absolutely true. People from the Law Enforcement Hall came this morning, and the people who shared the same dormitory with Zhuang Cheng have been taken away for questioning."

"Oh my god! How could someone dare to do this in the academy?"

"I heard it's not a human." The man moved closer and lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by others, but the voice still reached Shen Mian's ears.

"It seems that the demons did it."

Shen Mian paused and frowned unconsciously, feeling a little uneasy.

Demons? Can demons enter the academy directly?

She temporarily suppressed her speculation and walked into the classroom for class. However, halfway through the class, she was suddenly called out.

Several disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall stood at the door in full gear: "Who is Shen Simian?"

Shen Mian stood up and they said, "Come with us."

Fang Shihui looked at Shen Mian's departing back and frowned uneasily.

What happened?

Shen Mian calmly looked at several disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall and asked one of the young men with a somewhat nervous voice and a terrified face: "Brother, what happened? I didn't do anything wrong?"

The young man snorted coldly: "You know whether you have committed a crime or not, just come with us. If you have anything to say, go and tell Master Jiang yourself."

Jiang Yi, the legendary head of the Law Enforcement Hall. Shen Mian had heard Lu Mingke mention this person before. He only said that although he was a bit rigid, he was upright. If he met him, he would not have to worry about being targeted.

However, this person's attitude was too bad, as if he was certain that she had done something wrong.

As if hearing her inner voice, another disciple said, "Qian Ying, don't be so fierce. You don't know how to be kind to women. Junior sister, don't worry. Master Jiang will not wrongly accuse anyone. You just need to tell us what you know."

Qian Ying glanced at him and said no more.

"Thank you, senior brother." Shen Mian responded, but his mind was rapidly calculating.

Money camp?

His last name was Qian, and he looked like he had a grudge against her, which made her think of Qian Hao.

The fact that Jiang Yi, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, handled the matter personally shows that the situation is serious and is most likely related to the demons.

But why did they call her? Just because she had a conflict with Zhuang Cheng?

Soon, Shen Mian knew why.

She was surrounded by several people and entered the Law Enforcement Hall. There were already many people inside the hall. As soon as she entered, dozens of eyes were looking at her. There was a man sitting in the middle, who must be Jiang Yi.

Shen Mian looked straight ahead, secretly glancing at the others with his peripheral vision, and suddenly saw a familiar figure: Luo Xu was standing next to Jiang Yi, frowning slightly, and looking at Shen Mian with worry in his eyes.

Jiang Yi had a serious expression on his face. Just sitting there without saying anything gave people a strong sense of oppression. Shen Mian faced this strong sense of oppression and saluted in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Jiang Yi looked her up and down, and was the first to speak, getting straight to the point: "Shen Simian, where were you last night?"

"Last night? Master Jiang, what time was it?"

"I will tell you everything, no matter how big or small it is."

Shen Mian lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickered, and he slowly said: "I went out of the academy last night, and it was already Chou time when I came back."

"Why did you leave the academy? How did you leave the academy?"

Shen Mian said calmly: "In order to go to the nearby black market to buy things, I used the college's pass to go out."

"Oh? What did you buy?"

"I didn't buy it. I didn't see what I wanted, so I didn't buy it."

Jiang Yi continued to ask: "When did you leave? What did you want to buy? Why did you go out at night? Is there anyone with you?"

Shen Mian answered one by one: "I went out after dinner, around twilight hour. I wanted to buy some black charred wood for alchemy. I had schoolwork during the day, so I took advantage of the free time at night to go there. I was alone, no one was with me."

Although he didn't know what the situation was, Shen Mian decided to tell a story that was half true and half false. Although he couldn't prove whether what he said was true, they had no way to verify it.

If she really told them that she went to the black market to inquire about someone, then the questioning would never end.

However, until now, Shen Mian still didn't know what this matter had to do with her. Standing here like a fool and being interrogated as a criminal really made her feel suffocated.

Qian Ying interrupted coldly: "I heard that you are very familiar with the young master Yan of Wanxiang Auction House? When you need spiritual medicine, you don't go to the warehouse in the courtyard or the Wanxiang Auction House, but go to the black market in the middle of the night to buy it?"

"Brother Qian, you are wrong," Shen Mian said with a smile on his face. "Brother Qian, why don't you go and ask about it? Black charred wood is such a rare elixir. Not to mention the academy's warehouse, even the Wanxiang Auction House has not found its whereabouts yet. Brother Qian is not an alchemist, so it's normal that you don't know. But Brother Qian, you act like you know a lot and come to teach me a lesson, which makes me feel at a loss."

Qian Ying said he was at a loss, but his face was full of sarcasm. He choked and continued to shout: "Slippery tongue! Although I don't know how to make pills, I also know that to use such a rare spiritual medicine, it must be a very high-grade pill. You are just a freshman, are you going to use this black charred wood to make pills?"

The Retrograde Pill is an Earth-grade elixir, and it is indeed impossible for Shen Mian to refine it with his current strength.

Shen Mian smiled slightly: "I am an alchemist. If I need elixirs, I have my own uses. I don't need Brother Qian's concern."

"Don't worry about me?" Qian Ying narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I think you can't tell. You must be guilty."

Luo Xu slammed the table and stood up: "Qian Ying, you are interrogating a prisoner? How can you talk like that! Master Jiang is still sitting here, how can you slander others with empty words?"

Qian Ying smiled instead of getting angry: "Luo Xu, why are you so anxious? Oh, yes, she is your friend, right? Everyone in the academy knows that Shen Simian climbed up three thighs and became the first in the class placement test?"

"Besides, who said I was slandering you out of thin air? Isn't the evidence already there?"

Luo Xu: "Just based on that letter? Bah! Idiot!"
