Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

Upon hearing this, Ren Wuji thought he had made a mistake in his autopsy, so he said, "He committed suicide, at least that's what they told me about the cause of death. Of course, if he was controlled and killed by high-level magic, I wouldn't be able to tell, since my strength is too weak."

Zhou Qingfeng shook his head and immediately switched to his official title: "This commander says he was murdered!"

Ren Wuji's expression shifted slightly, indicating that he understood Zhou Qingfeng's meaning.

Although Zhou Qingfeng's purpose is unknown, the higher the rank, the more powerful one can easily dominate.

If your superiors say it's murder, then it's murder, whether it's not murder or not; you have no choice but to cooperate.

Unless you don't want to do it anymore.

So Ren Wuji changed his story: "Yes, they were murdered, and I can testify to that."

Zhou Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction: "Issue the autopsy report."

Ren Wuji cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Jin Wei watched in horror. This was blatant perjury! If it were discovered, he would definitely lose his job and end up in jail. Why was General Zhou so foolish?

“Commander-in-Chief…” Jin Wei hesitated, wanting to offer a reminder.

Zhou Qingfeng glanced at him sideways, his eyes filled with coldness and unquestionable authority.

Seeing this, Jin Wei silently shut his mouth.

Zhou Qingfeng said, "Jin Wei, starting today, you will stay here to guard the body. The bodies of the two perpetrators will be kept here for the time being. Anyone who wants to see them will be refused on the grounds that the case is still under investigation."

Upon hearing this, Jin Wei immediately lowered his head and agreed.

Zhou Qingfeng took the autopsy report and turned to leave.

Ren Wuji stared at Zhou Qingfeng's retreating figure and said expressionlessly, "Jin Xiaoqi, this Commander Zhou is terrifying."

Jin Wei nodded in deep agreement: "It's good that you know. If you go against the Commander-in-Chief's wishes, believe me, even the Palace Commander can't keep your job. In short, do whatever Commander-in-Chief Zhou tells you to do."

"This matter must be kept secret and not mentioned to anyone else. Otherwise, even if the captain is unlucky, he will at most be punished in the city lord's mansion, but you and I will lose our jobs and go to jail. You'd better consider the consequences."

Ren Wuji hummed in agreement: "Understood."

That afternoon, Zhou Qingfeng presented the autopsy report and reopened the investigation on the grounds that the perpetrator had been murdered.

Upon receiving the news, Xiao Hongyun and Ye Tingxiu were extremely shocked and immediately ran to find Zhou Qingfeng.

Zhou Qingfeng was leisurely practicing Zhou family boxing in the courtyard to strengthen his physique.

Ye Tingxiu stared wide-eyed and asked, "Holy crap, Lao Zhou, was the perpetrator really murdered?!"

Seeing Zhou Qingfeng's calm demeanor, Xiao Hongyun said anxiously, "Old Zhou, say something."

Zhou Qingfeng punched his fist and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Even if they committed suicide, it can only be considered murder."

Xiao Hongyun and Ye Tingxiu exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, the perpetrator must have been murdered so that we can continue the investigation. That's better than closing the case."

"Investigation? No, just a show will do."

Xiao Hongyun and Ye Tingxiu were completely dumbfounded. They had no idea what Zhou Qingfeng was doing and couldn't grasp his true intentions at all. At this moment, they really felt like idiots.

Zhou Qingfeng turned to look at them, explaining as he practiced his boxing: "The perpetrators are dead, that's it. There's no going back now. Let's just make something of their corpses."

“Their deaths are not important to me, but the fact that they were murdered is important to me.”

"Given Feng Manlou and Yun Fan's personalities, if they were to learn that their loved ones had been murdered, guess what strange changes would occur?"

Upon hearing this, a flash of inspiration struck Xiao Hongyun, and he gasped in shock, staring at Zhou Qingfeng as if he were looking at a terrifying monster: "Hiss, I understand now, what a vicious plan, you actually..."

Ye Tingxiu looked bewildered: "Huh? How did you know? What does it mean? Can you explain it to me? Please don't be a riddle-maker and consider my feelings, okay?"

Zhou Qingfeng chuckled lightly, offered no further explanation, and continued practicing his boxing and fitness routine.

Seeing this, Ye Tingxiu pulled Xiao Hongyun aside and said, "Old Xiao, explain this to me. I'm so curious. Please, I'll treat you to bamboo tube milk tea and charcoal-grilled lamb chops!"

Xiao Hongyun looked at Ye Tingxiu helplessly and said, "I'm not after your milk tea and lamb chops..."

Ye Tingxiu jumped up and down anxiously, holding up two fingers: "Two portions, stop talking nonsense."

Seeing this, Xiao Hongyun said with satisfaction, "Alright, since you asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you that what Lao Zhou did was simply an unsolvable killer move!"

"Even if the Lu Sifu had a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain it. He's destined to take the blame."

"Think about it, Feng and Yun are hiding their relatives, which clearly means they are willing to risk the death of their entire family to protect their loved ones' lives. Otherwise, they could have simply killed them. Why would they hide their relatives?"

"But we have now forcibly determined through testing that Niu Erlang and Yun Li were murdered."

"Won't they suspect that the Lu Si Mansion killed someone to cover their tracks in order to protect themselves?"

"No matter how good or close their relationship was before, once this happened, they immediately fell apart, and the Lu Si Mansion was unable to defend itself and had no evidence to prove that it had not killed anyone to cover it up."

"No matter how hard he tries to explain or prove it, Feng Manlou and Yun Fan won't believe him. Once suspicion arises, the crime is already established. The Lu Si Mansion has no choice but to take the blame, even if it doesn't want to."

"We don't need to investigate at all. Let them fight it out; they'll fight themselves to the death."

"We can stay out of it and watch the fight unfold; it's hard to lose if we want to."

Although Ye Tingxiu didn't fully understand, he was greatly shocked and stared at Zhou Qingfeng, who was slowly punching, with a look of madness: "Damn it, we all have two shoulders and one head, how come he's so smart? I'm not convinced!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng continued practicing his punches at a leisurely pace, completely disregarding what Ye Tingxiu and Xiao Hongyun thought.

Because in his eyes, there are no two people, only those who are stronger than him.

It's not that he was arrogant to the point of looking down on everyone, but rather that he only had eyes for those who were better than him.

He won't bully or care about those weaker than himself. As long as they don't block his way, he can be a great benefactor. But if they do block his way, he can commit great evils.

This is him, a combination of spear and shield, a two-faced man of good and evil.

However, people like Zhou Qingfeng can be considered real, living people.

After all, there are no truly pure people in the world, absolutely none.

Because throughout history, those so-called celebrities and saints were actually two-faced people, or even multifaceted people, sometimes gentlemen and sometimes villains, switching back and forth smoothly and freely.

After Zhou Qingfeng finished performing a set of boxing techniques, he said indifferently, "Go do what you're supposed to do. What are you doing staying here all this time? Oh, by the way, send someone to keep an eye on when the families of Feng and Yun will move out of their residences."

"If their families relocate, it proves that Feng and Yun are settling their worries and are about to take revenge. We'd better lay low for a while. After all, if we get involved in a battle between three Devouring Fiend cultivators, we'll die."

Xiao Hongyun and Ye Tingxiu were both shocked and exclaimed in unison, "Holy crap, you even predicted this?"

Zhou Qingfeng helplessly spread his hands: "Could you please use your brains? If I were seeking revenge, I would definitely make sure my family is settled first. Otherwise, how can I unleash my full power to take revenge?"

"Brilliant!"

"Brilliant!"
