Chapter 25

While the three were chatting, Jing Yan and Tiandan Zhiyuan Wu, sporting dark circles and red eyes, walked out of their rooms.

"What's going on? I just went to sleep."

"Me too… I'm so sleepy, I was about to log out and let my character AFK."

Looking at their listless appearances, Fang Yue was immediately annoyed.

"Good grief, you two went out partying without me… and now trouble comes knocking! You ditch your bro for fun, then shed tears after the fact!"

Jing Yan and Tiandan Zhiyuan Wu finally sobered up a bit.

"Brother Yue, no, I didn't! It was Jing Yan who dragged me! Look, my thighs are injured from going to the Qingluan Brothel, sob, sob, I don't even have an appetite today…"

What the hell?! This works too?? Jing Yan's forehead dripped with sweat, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Han Da Ren had just walked out of the Little Blood Arena. An idea flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly picked up Tiandan Zhiyuan Wu and said, "Brother Yue, you know me, I don't like people, I like animals! Wu Wu insisted on dragging me there, I didn't want to go at all!"

Fang Yue: …

Lin Ling: ???

Han Da Ren: …

Tiandan Zhiyuan Wu paused, then silently moved a little further away from Jing Yan, a look of disdain on her face.

Hey! What's with that look? You were the one who threw dirt on me first, I had no choice but to resort to such a desperate measure!

"Alright, alright, what kind of people you two are, don't you think I know? Now the people from the Qing Si are here to ask you questions. Just say what you know, got it?"

"Understood!"

"Got it!"

Leading the two out, You Sisi had calmed down considerably at this point, especially when she saw that Fang Yue was the one bringing them out. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense expression relaxed a little.

"Han Da Ren… did he say anything? I was too reckless before, I hope Han Da Ren can forgive me."

Opening her mouth, she didn't mention Tiandan Zhiyuan Wu and Jing Yan's matter, but instead anxiously asked about Han Da Ren.

In reality, it was difficult for Fang Yue himself to feel the terror of Han Da Ren.

Because Han Da Ren had always been very good to him, taking good care of him.

However, such a mysterious and unpredictable half-step rain-level expert was an extremely terrifying existence for other villages and other people.

A slight mistake, and destroying a village or town didn't seem particularly difficult.

Facing such an expert, You Sisi's cautious and apologetic behavior was the normal reaction.

Of course, if they knew that Han Da Ren had lost his strength, their attitude would probably be different.

"Han Da Ren really didn't mean to blame you, he just wants you to handle the matter quickly."

"Of course! Of course… I will definitely handle this case as soon as possible."

Saying that, she asked her men to bring Tiandan Zhiyuan Wu and Jing Yan over.

And then it got interesting.

Fang Yue, who was listening in, discovered that the two were initially sticking to the same story they used to fool Fang Yue.

But as they were questioned, repeatedly asked the same questions, and tricked with questions, they were tricked into revealing information.

It turned out that the two of them didn't go to the Qingluan Brothel together. Tiandan Zhiyuan Wu went to have fun alone first, and Jing Yan's idea coincided with Tiandan Zhiyuan Wu, so they happened to be at the Qingluan Brothel at the same time.

After that, it was Dou Da Ren's bizarre transformation and indiscriminate killing.

"That's it?"

"That's all there is."

They said expressionlessly.

All their secrets had been exposed, they had lost all face!

You Sisi frowned: "Alright, you can go."

The two of them were finally relieved and hurried back to the inn as if they were escaping.

Fang Yue asked strangely, "Did their confession help you? Did that Dou Da Ren die later?"

"Irrelevant people…"

You Sisi wanted to say that irrelevant people shouldn't ask so many questions, but when she thought about how Fang Yue had Han Da Ren backing him, she stopped and just said sullenly, "Qing Si's Bai Yi Qing Wei (White-Clad Azure Guard) Dou Fan, transformed into a bizarre, was executed last night."

"Then what are you investigating?"

"…Everything has a source. Dou Fan usually stayed in Qing Si County, but suddenly transformed into a bizarre. This is very abnormal, I want to find out the reason."

"How are you going to investigate that?"

"Recreate the scene, gather witnesses, and investigate what happened at that time. Then, from Dou Fan's activity records over the past month, starting from the most recent day, find everyone he contacted, and every item he touched. We should be able to find something."

Fang Yue thought that You Sisi was just investigating randomly, but her thought process was unexpectedly clear, which surprised him a little.

"That's so complicated, won't it take a long time?"

"Besides the large-scale investigation of witnesses, which is more labor-intensive, the subsequent steps will reduce personnel allocation and ensure the normal operation of Qing Si County… In short, everything is under control, you can tell Han Da Ren to rest assured, I will definitely handle this case perfectly."

Clearly, You Sisi was patiently saying so much to Fang Yue entirely for Han Da Ren's sake.

With a wave of her hand, she led her team away.

Fang Yue didn't pay too much attention to it, and returned to the inn after they left.

"How was it? What did You Sisi say?" Lin Ling asked.

"Dou Da Ren has been killed, but she wants to investigate why Dou Da Ren was possessed by a bizarre, and when he was possessed. Because she said that Dou Da Ren hasn't left Qing Si County for the past month, so in theory, nothing should have happened to him."

"Then he must have been framed!" Lin Ling said casually.

Framed…

Fang Yue was stunned, and a scene of entering the city suddenly flashed in his mind.

At that time, the people from the Lie Huo Sect (Blazing Fire Sect) hurriedly entered the city and gave Dou Da Ren a fire-patterned token as collateral.

Could this be related to the Lie Huo Sect?

No… not necessarily.

Fang Yue quickly realized that he was being too one-sided.

He only saw the people from the Lie Huo Sect give Dou Da Ren the fire-patterned token, but he didn't know what Dou Da Ren had experienced that day, or even that month, what he had touched, and whether he had any physical problems during that month, and so on.

All of this information must be combined to make a relatively correct judgment.

"Don't think too much, just leave this matter to the Qing Si to handle, it has nothing to do with us."

Han Da Ren's words should have put an end to this matter.

But by the afternoon, everything was different again.

"Lord Jun…"

Fang Yue's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Lord Jun, who had pulled a cart full of things over.

"Captain Yue! Is Han Da Ren still at the inn?"

This guy had obviously learned the news from You Sisi and came here on purpose.

"Han Da Ren doesn't see guests."

"Did you tell him that I am a descendant of [Tian Lian] (Heaven's Pity)?"

"I told him, but he still won't see you. You Sisi barged in before, and Han Da Ren is already a little displeased."

"Yes… yes… she was too reckless, it was my negligence, I forgot to remind her about this."

Mainly, Lord Jun didn't expect Han Da Ren to be staying at the inn.

In his mind, such a legendary existence who comes and goes without a trace would definitely not be living in an inn.

But You Sisi really ran into him.

"Han Da Ren isn't here… that's fine, these are gifts of apology, I hope that after Han Da Ren returns, Captain Yue can say a few good words for our Qing Si."

Looking at Lord Jun's nervous attitude, a term inexplicably popped into Fang Yue's mind.

Human-shaped nuclear weapon.
