Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 538 Disappearance (Part 5)

Judging from Fang He's expression, it seems he has been secretly observing for some time.

"Sect Master Fang... hasn't left yet?" Han Yi forced a smile and handed over the rhombus-shaped crystal in his hand.

Fang He didn't say a word, but held it up and examined it carefully in the sunlight.

He then returned the crystal jade to Han Yi, finding nothing unusual; it seemed to be just a piece of ordinary jade.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to ask you about a few things." Fang He said expressionlessly.

"Please speak." Han Yi composed himself and became serious.

"I remember Luo Meiwei, she used to be one of your gang leaders. Do you know how serious the things she did were?" Fang He said calmly. Han Yi's heart skipped a beat. Bringing up old matters again, this person was clearly up to no good.

He pondered for a moment: "Luo Meiwei, this woman was left behind by the previous inspector. She was quite talented, but she died unexpectedly. I was also very saddened to hear the news of her death. We have lost a great general under our command."

Whether he claims to know about May Lo's affair or not, he will fall into the trap of having to prove his innocence.

It's better to just say you don't know.

By passing the matter on to the previous inspector, Fang He had no further questions to ask.

"I see..." Fang He looked at Han Yi with deep eyes.

Suddenly, his tone turned cold, and he angrily opened his eyes: "Han Yi, you're good at pretending, but unfortunately, you left a fatal clue at the scene: you killed Luo Meiwei. Hand over the ledger!" Fang He swayed, and the air in the entire room was instantly sucked in, as if a vacuum was being drawn, making it hard to breathe.

The secret in my heart was suddenly revealed by someone shouting it out.

Han Yi was immediately startled and tense.

Fortunately, he was used to keeping a straight face, and although he was shocked inside, he still maintained a puzzled and confused expression.

"Account books? What does Sect Leader Fang mean? If you are dissatisfied with me, Han, just say so. Why beat around the bush and force me like this?"

Han Yi looked as if he had been greatly wronged and was full of grievances.

His mind raced, recalling the scene from back then. Luo Meiwei's body had vanished without a trace; what important clues could there be?

Unless Fang and he have a way to turn back time, what can be found if there is no corpse and only a pool of corpse fluid?

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Fang He sneered. "You're a dignified inspector, in charge of a territory. Even if you don't know Luo Meiwei, don't you even know the quantity of goods coming in and out of the warehouse?"

After returning from Han Yi's place, he immediately gathered his men, collected intelligence, discussed possibilities, and summarized the current situation.

However, after a whole night, they found no clues about Fang Shouming.

Since he couldn't find any suspicious points from the secret realm, he had no choice but to change his strategy and consider Fang Shouming's recent actions.

Fang Shouming had two things to deal with at hand.

First, we need to investigate the perpetrator who injured Chen Lingmo.

The second task is to find the murderer who killed May Lo and to find the encrypted ledger.

The first thing is clearly at a standstill, with no way to start.

But the second thing seems to have some suspicious aspects that deserve careful consideration.

As for Luo Meiwei, she was Han Yi's subordinate after all. After her death, Fang He's first suspicion was actually Han Yi.

This kind of smuggling of contraband has been going on for a long time, so why did it happen right after Han Yi took office?

However, he sent people to test Han Yi twice, but found nothing unusual, so he gave up.

But now, Fang Shouming has disappeared, his fate unknown. In his desperation, Fang He has once again thought of this matter.

It is entirely possible that Fang Shouming discovered something during his investigation of the missing ledgers that led to his disappearance.

"I truly knew nothing about Luo Meiwei's matter. When you asked me about it, I was completely baffled. How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly disappear?" Han Yi said angrily. "I really didn't know. Even if you beat me to death, I still wouldn't know!"

"Fine, you want to die? Then I'll grant your wish!"

Fang He let out a sinister laugh, and a voice as loud as thunder emanated from him. Boom!

He threw a punch straight at Han Yi's chest, and before the punch was even thrown, a thunderous booming sound rang out.

Han Yi still wore a death-defying expression, ready to unleash the third stage of pure Yang Qi and blood, as well as the cold Yin energy accumulation cycle at any time.

If he really goes all out, even if he can't win, he'll still give it his all.

However, Fang He's punch seemed to have the sound of wind howling and the force of thunder.

But it stopped just an inch from Han Yi's chest.

"Come on, come on, just kill me already!" Han Yi shouted angrily. "The dignified Sect Master Fang, if you have the guts, then kill me. I said I didn't know!"

I, Han Yi, have lived a life of integrity and uprightness. My words are as clear as water spilled; I have no shame before others. If I don't know, then I simply don't know!

Fang He was slightly moved. "You dare to swear?"

"If I, Han Yi, know the cause of Luo Meiwei's death, or know the whereabouts of Senior Brother Fang Shouming, and conceal it from the public, may I be struck by lightning and struck by thunder!"

Without hesitation, Han Yi swore a solemn oath.

Anyway, he was a staunch materialist. In his previous life, he even dared to burn wood from temple ruins as firewood. What's wrong with making a vow?

Fang He's fist suddenly went limp.

boom!

But then, he punched Han Yi in the shoulder.

BOOM BOOM!!

Han Yi took the punch head-on, flying backward and crashing into the wall.

"You may escape death, but you can't escape punishment. Consider this punch a small punishment for your disrespect..." Fang He's figure vanished instantly, leaving only his voice echoing slowly.

At first, he secretly spied on Han Yi, observing his every move.

Because once a person is out of danger and in a safe environment, some unintentional actions often reveal significant flaws.

However, he also didn't find anything wrong with Han Yi.

Then, he suddenly appeared and used words of intimidation and threats to try to bring up the problem directly.

The combination of being startled and overly dramatic can subconsciously reveal any problems.

Finally, he resorted to force to suppress the situation.

Everyone is afraid of death.

When people are in a life-or-death situation, they become less alert and will say anything to survive. This three-tiered, tightly linked operation is enough to expose most of the suspicious points.

However, what Fang He saw in Han Yi was only his uprightness and his clear conscience.

Especially the solemn oath that Han Yi swore without hesitation...

This was the first time in all his years that he had met such an open and honest person.

Han Yi clutched his shoulder and slowly got up from the ground. He felt a burning pain in his shoulder and back, as if a wisp of fist force was passing through his skin and constantly damaging the surrounding muscle tissue.

Despite the physical pain, he felt relieved.
