Amidst the increasingly urgent and forceful knocking on the door, Xu Heng finally slowly opened the door.
"What's wrong? You don't want anyone to sleep in the middle of the night?" He said with a sleepy look on his face and a trace of impatience in his tone.
But when he saw a large group of people standing outside the door, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, a little shocked and surprised.
"What happened?" he asked again.
There were many season commanders and warriors standing outside the door, most of them from the Dashen City Inspection Department.
However, the instructor of Xiaohan class and Director Zhang also came, standing behind the crowd, looking at Xu Heng with complicated expressions.
"Classmate Xu, I am Gong Tianfang, captain of the Criminal Investigation Team 1 of the Dashen Branch of the Inspection Department. We suspect that you are involved in a murder case and now we need your cooperation in the investigation."
At this time, a middle-aged man leading the charge outside the door said: "Before that, we still need to search your residence. Please cooperate."
"I am suspected of participating in a murder case? How is this possible?" Xu Heng's face was shocked and his mouth opened wide.
Everyone outside the door looked at him expressionlessly, showing no emotion.
"Please cooperate." The captain of the inspection department spoke again.
"Okay, you can search as you like." Xu Heng nodded slightly in surprise and stepped away.
Everyone outside the door immediately filed in, divided into several groups in an orderly manner, and searched various locations in the villa.
They were very careful in their movements and did not search roughly. Instead, after finding a location, they would restore it to its original state before continuing to search the next place.
This is in sharp contrast to the case-handling style of the Inspection Department of Darong City.
Gong Tianfang was not involved. He walked into the hall, looked at Xu Heng, and reached out to the sofa: "Classmate Xu, would it be convenient for us to chat for a few words first?"
"No problem!" Xu Heng acted very cooperatively and nodded repeatedly.
He also looked at the people standing behind him. In addition to the instructor and Director Zhang, there were eight other men and women in different clothes, staring at Xu Heng with sharp eyes.
It is not difficult to judge that these eight people were probably sent by the deceased's family to participate in the investigation of the case.
The sofa in the villa is so big that after more than a dozen people sit down, there is still room.
Xu Heng only sat on half of his buttocks and acted very reserved and polite.
"Classmate Xu, don't be nervous. We just have a brief chat and ask a few questions." Seeing Xu Heng's appearance, Gong Tianfang couldn't help but smile slightly and signaled him to relax.
"It's hard not to be nervous. I was woken up not long after I fell asleep, and it turned out that I was related to the murder case..." Xu Heng showed a helpless smile.
"Oh? It seems to be getting late now. Student Xu has just gone to bed. I wonder what he was busy with just now?" Gong Tianfang asked in a tone as if he was chatting about everyday things.
"It's nothing. I went to the Academic Affairs Office today. I was in a bad mood, so I went for a walk in the woods. I wanted to be alone and quiet, but I didn't expect to stay until night, so I came back to sleep." Xu
Hengping said.
"You stayed in the woods for so long? Did you never leave during this time?"
"No, I'm just dazing there, thinking about things."
"Can anyone vouch for you?"
"No, but I remember there was surveillance over there. I should have been photographed, right?"
"It was indeed captured, but you entered the surveillance blind spot and disappeared for a long time."
"Really? I didn't notice it. I just found a corner to sit down and calm down."
…
Gong Tianfang kept asking questions throughout the process, but his tone was very easy-going, as if he was having a casual chat, and the questions he asked were all peripheral questions.
Xu Heng had been prepared a long time ago and answered the question in a flawless manner.
After other members of the inspection department finished searching the villa, a young woman came over with several plastic bags.
"Captain Gong, the suspect just took a bath an hour ago. We released the stinging hounds and suspected that there was a smell of blood in the bathroom." The first words the woman spoke made both Director Zhang and the instructor change their expressions.
The other eight men and women from the deceased's family also had cold eyes.
"The smell of blood?" Gong Tianfang looked at Xu Heng with a half-smile.
"Ah this!"
Xu Heng's face turned red and he said with embarrassment: "As we all know, I am a hot-blooded boy who is always alone. Sometimes in the middle of the night, I have a sudden impulse and can't help it... Well, all the male compatriots here understand.
"
"..." Everyone's eyes widened instantly.
What the hell do you mean by that to explain the smell of blood?
"Has the smell of blood been compared?" Gong Tianfang looked at the young woman and asked.
The woman then shook her head: "The taste is too weak. Even the Jingzhe Hound can only suspect it and cannot confirm it."
"It seems... it's probably student Xu's whim. Young people are good and can afford to spend extravagantly." Gong Tianfang smiled again and looked at Xu Heng.
"Captain Gong, don't say that. There is a lesbian here." Xu Heng lowered his head shyly.
Director Zhang and his tutor were standing aside, but they were horrified to watch.
In their hearts, they had almost determined that Xu Heng was responsible for this case, or that it had a lot to do with Xu Heng.
After all, that night, they all felt the determined killing intent in Xu Heng.
But now, Wu Zhi and others were all dead, but this guy showed a harmless expression here, which really made them feel a little scared.
If the case has nothing to do with this guy, then that's it.
But if this guy really did it, how terrifying would he be?
So good at acting? And so brave to make up?
"in addition……"
At this time, the young woman spoke again and raised the plastic bag in her hand: "We found that the suspect had burned something in the bathroom. Although the ashes were washed away, we still extracted a trace of impurity residue from the air.
."
Xu Heng also saw that the plastic bag indeed contained traces of dark silk-like objects, and he was a little surprised.
How could these people collect and extract the residue from something that was burned an hour ago?
It must have been done by the Master during the Beginning of Autumn using [Backtracking].
"Classmate Xu, you..." Gong Tianfang spoke again.
"Captain Gong, can you understand the emptiness of having no desires or desires afterwards?"
This time Gong Tianfang didn’t need to finish the question, Xu Heng responded directly: “Not only do I have no desire, I even have a deep sense of guilt and self-blame. I hate my hands, and I also hate those collector’s edition magazines that tortured me.
, so I decided to burn those evil magazines, change my mind, and become a sage with no desires or desires."
"..."
Everyone fell into silence again.
The young woman also completely understood the meaning of Xu Heng's two words. The first time she was expressionless, but the second time she couldn't help it and gave Xu Heng a hard look with her beautiful eyes.
Just now, you shyly said that there are lesbians here, and now you say these words without blushing or heartbeat?
"Classmate Xu, you don't seem to be curious about what murder case you have been involved in? Or, in other words, don't care who died at all?" At this time, Gong Tianfang asked quietly.
"I know." Xu Heng blinked and said matter-of-factly: "Aren't they just those people from the student union? I received a video from Wu Xing on my phone, and you came to me at this time, so it's probably
That’s the case.”
"Oh?" Gong Tianfang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Aren't you curious as to why you were listed as a suspect?"
"I'm not curious. I definitely didn't kill him anyway. If there's any suspicion, it's just a frame-up, something made out of thin air." Xu Heng said confidently.
"There are two doubts against you."
Gong Tianfang said calmly and raised a finger: "First, Wu Zhi and others brought you into the training space two days ago and did not give you a training card and put you in danger, so you have the motive to kill.
"
"Second, according to the Beginning of Autumn Festival Master's investigation at the crime scene, the deceased suffered several hours of torture before his death. He was tortured and severely injured by the Xiaohan solar term, and was treated by the Beginning of Spring Festival Master. The cycle repeated, and it happened to be the Xiaohan Festival again.
"
After saying that, Gong Tianfang raised his second finger and looked at Xu Heng sharply.
Xu Heng smiled calmly and also raised a finger: "First, the conflict between me and Wu Zhi and others has been resolved through the mediation of the school leaders today. After all, I was not injured and left safely.
There’s no need to pester them about the training space, right?”
"Secondly, I am only in the Qi-building realm... Oh no, I am in the Descaling realm now, but it is impossible to deal with so many full-qi realms, right? There are so many Xiaohan Festival Masters in the world, how can you think that I am just the one in the Qi-building realm?
Is there any suspicion?"
Xu Heng kept a faint smile on his face, and shook his two raised fingers from side to side, as if making a "yeah" gesture, declaring victory.
This action was like a provocation, causing the eight men and women from the deceased's family to frown, and their faces gradually became ugly.
Regardless of whether Xu Heng's actions were intentional or not, they all felt provoked.
The rest of the people present did not have much reaction when they heard that he had reached the Descaling Realm. After all, for a monster-level genius, he had already built ten levels of Qi before the college entrance examination, so it was normal for him to enter the Descaling Realm now.
"Okay, classmate Xu, although it is indeed inappropriate to list you as a suspect based on only those two doubts, this is also what the family of the deceased requested, so we investigated you in advance."
Gong Tianfang said, already standing up: "Of course, we will not take any coercive measures against you, but if there are any problems in the future, please continue to cooperate with the investigation."
"Of course there is no problem. Assisting the official in handling cases is the obligation and responsibility of each of us in Scorpio Island. Although I, Xu Heng, am just a freshman who has just entered the university, I am weak and insignificant, but..."
When Xu Heng said this, a bright smile appeared on his face: "I am a man of righteousness and courage. I will take action when it's time to take action. I, Xu Heng, have no sworn relationship with evil!"
provocative!
He is provoking!
At this moment, everyone present felt this way.
Gong Tianxin felt a moment of consternation. Xu Heng's previous performance could be said to be watertight. Although some of his words sounded wrong, no loopholes could be found.
But now, he suddenly said these words. On the surface, it didn't sound like a big deal, but in fact, it seemed like he was provoking some people.
Everyone's eyes glanced at the eight men and women calmly.
The eight people's faces were already gloomy and dark, and they stared at Xu Heng fiercely.
They didn't say a word from beginning to end, but everyone knew one thing.
All the words Xu Heng said tonight will be taken back and reported by them, including the last sentence that seemed to be provocative.
