Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 472 Interrogation

After all, he left in such a hurry that time was too tight, and he left a lot of traces in many places, which could be easily discovered and arouse suspicion.

While working and chatting, Han Yi also got a lot of information from Zhou Qi.

"Chen Lingmo, he's not dead yet?"

"Yes, I heard that he has been placed under the special protection of Eagle Claw King. Our Jingtian Manor has also sent a large number of highly skilled physicians there," Zhou Qi replied in a low voice.

Has any news leaked out?

"Some say Chen Lingmo offended someone outside and was chased to Jingtian Manor. Others say a master disapproved of Chen Lingmo's behavior... Anyway, there are many different opinions." Zhou Qi arrived at the scene immediately and, given his prestige among the younger disciples, naturally knew quite a bit of information.

But it's all just speculation; there's no evidence, and everyone has their own version of events, so no one can say for sure.

"It seems that no matter what, Chen Lingmo didn't die just now, and he definitely won't die next..."

“Senior brother is right. If Chen Lingmo were to die in our Jingtian Manor, I reckon the Three Mountains Sect would not let it go so easily…” Zhou Qi said with a wry smile.

If you were to ask where the safest place in Jingtianzhuang is now, it would probably be right next to Chen Lingmo.

Logically and emotionally, even if the higher-ups at Jingtian Manor were to drag things out, they would keep Chen Lingmo hanging on until he left Jingtian Manor before he died.

The first time something goes wrong, it's no big deal; you can always shift the blame. But if someone dies here, then you'll definitely have to take the fall.

"Sigh..." Han Yi shook his head, feeling a little regretful. He had used every trick in the book this time; he'd used almost all the medicinal powder he'd obtained from **, and he'd also unleashed most of the power of his trump card, the Pure Yang State...

Surprisingly, they still couldn't kill Chen Lingmo.

He had originally thought about whether he might have a chance to get his hands on the silver inner armor, but now it seemed that the chance was gone.

Soon, under his leadership, the disciples of Jiuqu Academy quickly cordoned off the scene, and a large number of traces were preserved under Han Yi's deliberate arrangement.

At this moment, Sun Zheng arrived with the Sanshan Sect members who had found nothing, along with a new order.

......

......

The main hall of Jiuquyuan.

The silent, dark, and quiet main hall was cleaned up in a short time. A large number of tables and chairs were neatly arranged around the area, and the oil lamps on the walls were filled with high-quality lamp oil. The bright light fell on the ground and turned into all sorts of crooked patterns.

At this moment, several academy leaders, along with Chen Ying, sat on the top floor with imposing manners. The scene was calm, and no one spoke a word, but a faint killing intent was faintly present between them.

Standing in the crowd, Han Yi also saw Zhong Han sitting next to Zhong Yunxiu in the corner.

She seemed to have just woken up; her eyes were blurry and unfocused, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

A female martial arts instructor was speaking softly to her, but she seemed not to hear a word she was saying.

Han Yi thought for a moment, then slowly walked over.

"Senior Sister." He bowed.

"Junior Brother Han, you've come too." Zhong Han snapped out of his daze and managed a weak smile.

"Senior Sister, what happened? You don't look well," Han Yi asked, puzzled. He'd already beaten Chen Lingmo half to death, so how could Zhong Han still be in trouble?

"It's nothing, just a small thing, a small thing..." Zhong Han herself was actually a little confused and had no idea what had happened.

After drinking that glass of wine, she managed to stay awake for a while, but then her mind went blank. She had no idea what happened after that.

She vaguely saw a scene of a man in black fighting with Chen Lingmo, but she had no idea who was in front or behind, or who was good or bad.

Chen Ying insisted that it was Chen Lingmo who discovered the thieves lying in ambush, and that he only intervened out of good intentions but was injured in the process.

Although Zhong Han knew this statement was incorrect, she also lacked conclusive evidence to prove that Chen Lingmo was the culprit.

Therefore, as the only conscious person among the parties involved, she was called over to investigate any suspicious activity. The other two parties involved were Chen Lingmo, who was severely injured and whose fate was unknown, and Sun Mingzhen, who had ingested a drug that could hypnotize martial artists and remained unconscious.

"I heard that my senior sister was robbed last night, and I felt bad that I couldn't help her. Perhaps I shouldn't have left so early," Han Yi sighed.

"Whether it was an attack by thieves or if the thieves helped, these are two different things. There is no evidence yet, so it's hard to say," Zhong Han said softly, correcting him earnestly.

She always felt that Chen Lingmo didn't seem like the kind of helpful person.

Besides, what good person would wander around her neighborhood for no reason?

"Alright." Han Yi nodded. "No matter what, I couldn't help you this time, but if you need anything next time, please don't hesitate to ask."

“…” Zhong Han was stunned for a moment after hearing this and remained silent.

After what happened last night, she felt uneasy about these words and became hesitant to believe them.

That's true. A best friend of over ten years can betray you so easily. Besides your mother, who else in this world can you really trust?

Her hesitation immediately revealed the reason to Han Yi.

I guess he was hurt so badly that he started to doubt all relationships and even suspected that other people had ulterior motives when they interacted with him.

Han Yi didn't care and didn't want to waste his breath explaining further.

In the end, no amount of empty talk is as effective as taking action.

He immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Senior sister, please rest well. I'll go check on Master."

Zhong Han was about to speak when she noticed that Han Yi had already greeted his master, Zhong Yunxiu, and inquired about something. She had no choice but to remain silent. As for Han Yi, he hadn't gained anything either. Zhong Yunxiu had been busy all night, had fought with Chen Ying, and was injured. Exhausted both mentally and physically, her energy was far from what it usually was.

He simply mentioned a few things to Han Yi and then sent him away.

Soon, the so-called search for the thieves began.

The process was quite simple: each person stepped forward one by one to be interrogated by the heads of various departments and Chen Ying.

The questions mostly revolve around: Where did the incident occur? Were there any witnesses? Were there any outings that night, etc.?

Of course, after being questioned, they also had to go up to Zhong Han for observation to see if his appearance matched the image of the man in black.

When it was Han Yi's turn, he remained as calm and composed as ever.

The person who almost killed Chen Lingmo was a masked man in black. What does that have to do with Han Yi?
