The old man's legs went weak and he almost fell down on the spot, but he quickly stabilized his body and came to Long Lin in a few steps.
"How dare you, little baby, speak such arrogant words."
"Xiaohei Village is of course under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. You came to the village yesterday and a murder occurred this morning. This must be related to you."
"Quickly release Liu Nang from our village. If you dare to act recklessly, I will report it to the county. The court will never let you off easily."
The old man stared at Long Lin. The villagers behind him quickly gathered around the old man. The previous cowardice completely disappeared.
The old man had a clear view of the group of people in front of him in the dark last night.
So when he saw these people, the old man was not surprised at all.
Long Lin put his hands behind his back and looked high.
"Tell me, who are you?"
Seeing Long Lin being so arrogant, the old man felt a little unhappy.
But he still spoke and revealed his identity.
"I am the mayor of this village."
Long Lin listened and nodded slightly, he had already thought of it.
"Village Chief, there was a murder in the village. Why did you show up now? Did you go to personally investigate the scene of the murder?"
"Ah...this..."
The old man was shocked and couldn't answer.
Regarding the murder, he only listened to Liu Nang's report. He did not enter the scene of the murder at all.
Regarding the tragic death of Old Man Li, he received the news last night.
All of this is just to make it clear that we want to get these people away and get these people involved in the murder case. With the help of the power of the court, these strong men in the martial arts can retreat despite the difficulties.
All of this was Liu Nang's plan, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Long Lin saw it in his eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
"What a village chief. There was a murder in the village, and you didn't even go to the scene?"
"Nonsense, of course I have been there myself."
In desperation, the village elder retorted on the spot.
"Oh, have you really been there? Then please ask the village chief to describe to me the circumstances of the deceased in detail."
"Ah...Old Li died by a knife."
In desperation, the village elder could only make nonsense in his mind, but in the village chief's opinion, this matter must be like this.
The person who killed Lao Li was Liu Nang. This guy always showed off his power with a big sword.
Since it was his hand, he must have died by a sword.
"Oh, did he really die by a knife? Are you sure?"
Long Lin looked at it and sneered in his heart.
The reaction of the village elder made it clear that he had never been to the scene at all.
A murder occurred in the village, but the village chief did not go to the scene to investigate in person? Is this normal? It seems that the village chief is also an insider.
When Long Lin asked him this question, the village elder's expression immediately turned strange.
He appeared in a hurry and saw that Liu Nang could not do anything to these people, and was even subdued by these young people and dragged directly into the house.
Originally, he wanted to rescue Liu Nang, so he first let this group of people release Liu Nang directly.
But now, how things have turned out to be his problem.
"I...I...of course I am sure that Lao Li Tou died by the sword."
"Okay, that's great. Then come with me to the scene to have a look. Mr. Village Chief, you didn't destroy the scene of the murder, right?"
Long Lin had a malicious look on his face, and his eyes were full of arrogance.
When the village chief heard this, he seemed to have something to say. Although he had never been to the scene, he thought no one would destroy it.
After Liu Nang met him yesterday, he took the lead here early in the morning. I am afraid that these villagers have never been to Lao Li Tou's home.
Since no one had time to go, the scene must be intact.
"How is it possible? The murderer has not been found and the murderer has not been brought to justice. As the village chief, I naturally have to protect the scene."
"You have nothing to do with it. I will send people to the county soon, and then invite the county magistrate to come here to question you about the death penalty."
After hearing this, Long Lin glanced at the old man coldly.
Let you be proud first, this murderer will definitely not let go.
Even you, the village chief, might not be able to eat enough and walk around in circles.
"A murder must be punished with a life. This is the law of our Dragon Dynasty. Since a murder has occurred, the murderer must be found."
"The murderer, not to mention you as the village chief, even I will never let this person go."
"Village Chief, have you ever heard of a criminal law called quartering the body with five horses?"
Being stared at by Long Lin's cold eyes, the village chief felt his back getting wet for a moment.
What kind of eyes are these? Why do you feel that the person who said he was going to be quartered by five horses is actually him?
"I have never heard of the idea of being quartered by five horses. Don't just rely on your martial arts skills to threaten the villagers in our Xiaohei Village here."
"Let me tell you, I have sent people to the county. I believe the county magistrate will arrive soon. By then, you will all be arrested."
The village chief's words were extremely firm.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a loud laugh broke out.
Hahaha......
"Village chief, even if the King of Heaven is here, I still have to make it clear. Why can we be arrested without evidence?"
Long Lin smiled brightly. A small village chief actually wanted to arrest him? So what if the county magistrate comes? The only one who will be unlucky is you, a little old man.
Long Lin's laughter made the village chief get angry.
"Boy, what are you talking about without any evidence? You are the biggest suspect in this murder case, and you even kidnapped Liu Nang, a citizen of Xiaohei Village, into the house. You are a martial artist with no official or position. How can you arrest someone for nothing?
Isn’t it illegal?”
"Then you just wait until the county magistrate arrives. Now it's time to go to the scene and take a look. If you don't mean that Old Man Li died of a stab wound, then let everyone see."
Long Lin took a step forward, and the Ghost King stood closely beside him, holding a long sword in one hand, with the possibility of taking action at any time.
Long Qian and Yan Qin had been standing at the back, so they naturally heard clearly the conversation between Long Lin and the village chief.
Long Gan smiled, feeling that it was a bit unnecessary. As long as a small village chief shows a token, he may be scared to death on the spot.
It doesn't require such effort, it's a complete waste of time.
Yudie also stood behind, and after seeing everything, a smile appeared on her lips.
Long Lin walked directly in front, ignoring the old village chief behind him.
The house they stayed in was not far from the house where Old Man Li lived. The houses in the village were quite far apart.
After passing through the alley, we came to the familiar gate of Old Man Li again.
He and Old Man Li had a lively chat last night, but he never expected that Old Man Li would suffer such misfortune just one night later.
He understood that what Old Man Li said were very important clues.
If he was careful enough, if he could arrange for someone to be here, Old Man Li would definitely not be in trouble.
Eh... He's still too young and doesn't think well.
