Weird World of Immortality

Chapter 1729: cross-examination

I'm afraid we're in some trouble.

Xie Chunshui's words made Zhou Fan's face become a little more subtle. He knew that Xie Chunshui was right. The four old men died suddenly in the Prime Minister's Department. They were all in the Prime Minister's Department yesterday, so they were inevitably listed as suspects.

After all, the four old men were all traveling abroad, so they couldn't be the servants who served.

"But Brother Zhou, don't worry too much, we'll be fine." Xie Chunshui said with a bitter face: "Who are you saying is so cruel, Daoyou Lu and the others are obsessed with miscellaneous books, and there is no conflict with the people from the Jie Laohui, who would Want to kill them?"

Xie Chunshui didn't know. Zhou Fan only came here for a few days, and he only knew the names of the four old men. He didn't even know who they were or who they knew. How could he know?

"What agency is in charge of this case?" Zhou Fan thought about it and asked.

"Take the Criminal Division." Xie Chunshui said in a natural tone.

Jie Laohui’s Criminal Division is similar to that of some countries. They are all specialized in criminal and prison cases, but the Jie Laohui’s Criminal Division is not responsible for small cases, but strange cases that are controversial or unresolved by the practice sect. When the Criminal Division asks for help, the Jie Laohui mentions that the members of the Criminal Division are not necessarily good at investigating cases, but rather provide powerful combat power to participate in these major cases.

But now that such a big case has occurred in the Jie Laohui, it is still under the management of the Criminal Division.

Zhou Fan's face was slightly condensed. He has not been idle these days. He has been inquiring about some things. Now the person in charge of the punishment department is the Tailing Sect Master Lin Haoqian.

He can only hope now that the Sect Master Tailing is not in the Jie Laohui, otherwise he will definitely pay attention to such a big case and discover his existence as a cultivator from Dawei.

The situation in the prime minister's hall has been shielded by the Fu array, and Zhou Fan can't see the death of the four old people inside.

"Brother Xie, has the Jie Laohui ever killed a cultivator while traveling?" Zhou Fan asked.

"It should be rare, at least I have been here for so long, and I have never heard of it." Xie Chunshui frowned, "Brother Zhou, it is very difficult to kill a traveling monk without causing any movement, let alone four one."

Of course Zhou Fan understood that even if it was him, he would only be able to do it silently unless he arranged a shielding talisman in advance and then let the four old men fall into his illusion.

The death of these four people is too strange.

"Elder Meng Jie has already told him that he will come back as soon as possible." Xie Chunshui suddenly said again.

When the two were talking softly, the talisman formation in the main hall of the Prime Minister had been removed, and the corpses in the hall had been covered by white shrouds.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Zhou Fan did not dare to send out his spiritual thoughts to observe the shape of the corpse. After all, there was a traveling cultivator from the Criminal Division in the hall. If his spiritual thoughts spread, he would definitely be detected.

A somewhat short old man came, and he said to Zhou Fan with a stern face: "Zhou Daoyou, Xie Daoyou, please come with us if you are all right, we want to ask you something."

Of course Zhou Fan and Xie Chunshui couldn't say no, they both nodded their heads.

Zhou Fan and the two cooperated, and the criminals did not dare to embarrass them. They did not impose any restraints on them. After all, they were only suspected, not necessarily the murderer.

However, the person who brought up the Criminal Division must be secretly wary of Zhou Fan and Xie Chunshui.

Zhou Fan didn't know what Xie Chunshui was thinking, but he had certain vigilance in the face of Xie Chunshui. The four old men died for no reason. He was sure that he didn't kill the four old men, but Xie Chunshui?

Did he do it?

He and Xie Chunshui had only known each other for less than five days, and at best they were strangers to each other. Of course, he would not completely trust Xie Chunshui.

He was even full of vigilance against everyone in the Jie Laohui.

Everyone went all the way to the Department of Justice and Punishment. After entering the Department of Justice and Punishment, Zhou Fan and Xie Chunshui were separated.

The person in charge of interrogating Zhou Fan was a thin middle-aged man. He said mildly, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, this is the rule of the Jie Laohui. If you offend many questions later, please forgive me."

"This is all to find out the murderer, I will definitely cooperate well." Zhou Fan said with understanding.

The thin middle-aged man first took out a jade ball device that could store sound images and activated it before interrogating him.

He asked Zhou Fan's name and origin, why he joined the Jie Laohui, and how long he had been in the Jie Laohui. After asking these basic information, he said with a serious face: "Zhou Daoyou has just entered the Prime Minister's Division for less than five days. How is your relationship with the four deceased people? What do you usually communicate with?”

"Fellow Daoist Lu and the four of them usually focus on studying classics and ignore world affairs. After I joined, there was almost no communication with them..." Zhou Fan answered truthfully.

"Then did you find anything unusual about them yesterday?"

Zhou Fan pondered for a while, then described the events of yesterday in detail.

"Tang Yuanji?" The thin middle-aged man frowned and said, "What is this?"

"I'm not very clear. Listening to their communication, it seems to be a historical year." Zhou Fandao.

"That is to say, Daoyou Xie left first, and then when Daoyou Zhou left, the four of them stayed in the Prime Minister to study the historical year, right?" The thin middle-aged man asked again.

"Yes." Zhou Fan nodded and said, "I don't know what happened after that. After I left, the Prime Minister still has servants, you can ask those servants~www.wuxiaspot.com~ middle-aged thin man He just nodded slightly, without revealing any intention of the case to Zhou Fan. He asked other questions. After Zhou Fan answered them one by one, the thin middle-aged man asked him to stay here and turned around and left.

Zhou Fan frowned slightly. The four old men should have been preparing to study late at night. If this is the case, the Prime Minister will definitely have servants serving by the side. Maybe the servants will know more than them, but even if he doesn't say it, the criminal department Will also try to understand those servants.

He closed his eyes and waited patiently for half a stick of incense before the thin middle-aged man came back. Zhou Fan opened his eyes and looked at him calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you can go back, but before the case is over, you must come and tell us if you want to leave the Heavenly City of the Barbarian Realm, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding." The thin middle-aged man reminded.

Zhou Fan said he knew, he stood up, and took his little sister out of the courtroom.

Xie Chunshui was waiting outside the door of the court of justice. He quickly stepped forward and glanced inside the court of punishment. He didn't speak in a hurry, but his eyes signaled Zhou Fan to leave first.

After Zhou Fan and Xie Chunshui were far away from the Department of Criminal Justice, their spiritual thoughts did not disperse, but they also knew in their hearts that the Department of Criminal Justice might send someone to monitor them.

"Brother Zhou, what did they ask you?" Xie Chunshui asked.

"What else can you ask? They just asked about what happened yesterday." Zhou Fan said calmly.

"Did they ask me?"

Zhou Fan glanced at Xie Chunshui, but didn't see anything on Xie Chunshui's face, he nodded and said, "Ask, they asked me if I saw any quarrel or conflict between you and fellow Daoist Lu?"
