Chapter 152 Soul Interrogation

This sentence was simply a bolt from the blue, catching everyone off guard, and they were stunned for a moment.

After several seconds, a clamor erupted, the students' faces changed drastically, and Teacher Luo Lesheng rushed out, intercepting Little Fairy Niulanshan, and sternly said:

"What did you say? What did you say?!

"What do you mean Xia Chaoxue is dead? Explain yourself to me clearly. If you dare to spout nonsense, I'll break your legs!"

This teacher, who claimed to be gentle,

This sentence was simply a bolt from the blue, catching everyone off guard, and they were stunned for a moment. After several seconds, a clamor erupted, the students' faces changed drastically, and Teacher Luo Lesheng rushed out, intercepting Little Fairy Niulanshan, and sternly said: "What did you say? What did you say?! What do you mean Xia Chaoxue is dead? Explain yourself to me clearly. If you dare to spout nonsense, I'll break your legs!" This teacher, who claimed to be gentle, showed extreme irritability and impulsiveness. "Teacher Xia Chaoxue is dead, in her dorm room. I didn't touch anything in the room." Little Fairy Niulanshan calmly finished speaking and looked at the students: "Yuanshi Tianzun, you take Ren Junzi and Guo Hezu to investigate the scene. Teacher Luo Lesheng, you go and notify the academy teachers to gather downstairs in the girls' dormitory immediately." She arranged everything in an orderly manner, as if instinctively. Although they were students, the Saints present were all official personnel who had worked on the front lines and had a wealth of experience. Even compared to the teachers who had retired to the second line for many years, their ability to respond on the spot and handle affairs was even stronger. Without Little Fairy Niulanshan urging them, the students acted one after another, rushing to the girls' dormitory. Xia Chaoxue is dead? This is unscientific. Killing a colleague in the academy is a suicidal act. What kind of hatred could there be? Zhang Yuanqing immediately took action, leading the students to the girls' dormitory. His heart was filled with confusion and shock. If he didn't understand Little Fairy Niulanshan's personality, he would have suspected that she was talking nonsense, just like Luo Lesheng. Thinking of this, he glanced back at the students, only to see that everyone's brows were furrowed, their expressions solemn with a hint of confusion. Obviously, the experienced Saints also felt that this matter was unbelievable. What kind of motivation could drive someone to such extremes in the academy? His gaze swept over the students' faces one by one, and Zhang Yuanqing saw Tianxia Guihu subtly wink at him. He didn't need Insight to understand Tianxia Guihu's hint: "If a murder occurs, the academy will definitely investigate the students' whereabouts last night. The Dean is a Scout, and the academy has lie detection tools. The trip to the underground palace will inevitably expose flaws. I can use the Ghost Mirror to smooth out emotional fluctuations and avoid the Scout's Insight. If the lie detection tool is also a Scout profession, the Ghost Mirror can solve it as well. If it's mental control, it can also be transferred to Little Doubi. I'm very stable myself, but Tianxia Guihu and Xiahou Aotian are unstable. Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang are only stable in the latter situation. They can't avoid the Scout's Insight. We finally got the First Emperor's relic. Nothing went wrong last night, but now this happens?" Zhang Yuanqing was extremely anxious. Now he can only take it one step at a time. This kind of sudden situation tests his ability to adapt. First, he has to send the Ghost Mirror to Princess Yinyao, but if I propose to go back to the dormitory at this time, it would be contrary to common sense and logic and would be suspicious. Zhang Yuanqing suddenly stopped and said, "Niulanshan, come here for a moment." Hearing this, Little Fairy Niulanshan, who was trotting, stopped, and the students also turned their heads to look. Zhang Yuanqing slowly instructed the students: "You go first. I have a few words to say with Little Fairy Niulanshan." Against the backdrop of a murder case, it's normal to chat privately with the first person to come into contact with the scene. The students just glanced at him and continued to the girls' dormitory. "Don't call me Niulanshan, call me Little Fairy." She pouted. Little Fairy and gentleman are not complimentary terms, okay? Zhang Yuanqing didn't have time for nonsense and quickly said: "I'll give you a task. Go and ask the academy's plants and animals, especially in the girls' dormitory, to see if you can find a Wood Demon who understands beast language and plant language. Maybe you can get some inspiration from the plants and animals. Although flowers and plants can't reply to you directly... as soon as I came in, I saw Chang Wei hitting Lai Fu... but at least you can get some vague clues. It's better to have something than nothing." "Okay!" Little Fairy Niulanshan accepted the order and left. Zhang Yuanqing's field of vision reflected her back, reflected the students' backs ahead. After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he inconspicuously took out the Ghost Mirror and threw it into the bushes. Without changing his expression, he followed the main group. Behind him, a round and cute little baby, with sparse downy hair on his head, topped with a bronze mirror, quickly moved his limbs like a nimble cat, using the cover of grass and trees to crawl towards the boys' dormitory. Soon, the group arrived at the girls' dormitory. Ren Junzi and Guo Hezu, as swordsmen, cautiously opened the door and entered the room first. Zhang Yuanqing stopped at the door and said to everyone: "The Lingjing Family people stay outside. People with C-level or higher merits come in with me. Everyone else, wait here." At this time, he changed his lazy, loafing style and brought out the aura of "Yuanshi Tianzun", the aura of a peerless genius, a big shot with full merits. The reason for only allowing people with C-level merits to enter is because merits are directly linked to ability. Elite people are enough to handle a murder case. There's no need for others to get involved. As for the children of the Lingjing Family, there are few among this group of second-generation heirs who can compare with the Executors working on the front lines, especially when it comes to handling cases. Hearing this, the Saints silently retreated a few steps. Tianxia Guihu, Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao, Little Fairy Niulanshan, Yuan Ting, and Peony Fairy followed Yuanshi Tianzun into the house, passed through the foyer, and came to the bedroom. Guo Hezu and Ren Junzi, one was examining the corpse, and the other was observing the room. Zhang Yuanqing entered the bedroom and looked at the bed. The white sheets were stained black and red with blood. A young woman in a silk nightgown was lying on the bed, her eyes staring at the ceiling due to being trampled on. "It is Xia Chaoxue." Her beautiful face was bloodless, her beautiful eyes were wide open, her neckline was disheveled, and the hem of her skirt covered the base of her thighs. Black chisel-silk underwear hung on her ankles. With a cold and serious expression, Guo Hezu said: "There are two fatal wounds. One is that the skull was shattered by someone, destroying the brain tissue. The other is that the chest was pierced by a sharp weapon, directly cutting open the heart. Xia Chaoxue hardly resisted."

"He then looked at the chisel-silk underwear hanging on her ankles and said: "Which of you female students can come and see if she was raped? Um... this statement is not accurate. Should I say, if there is any evidence of **?" Peony Fairy looked at Sun Miaomiao, then looked at Little Fairy Niulanshan, and said: "I'll do it. I have experience in autopsy and have dealt with similar cases." After speaking, she walked to the bed and lifted Xia Chaoxue's nightgown. The men present consciously turned away. Several tens of seconds later, Peony Fairy said: "There are traces of ** before death." "I have a question," Zhang Yuanqing suddenly said. In the 404 room of the male dormitory, Princess Yinyao, sitting elegantly at the desk, tilted her head and saw the round and cute infant spirit passing through the wooden door, crawling like a baby seal, with a bronze mirror engraved with a flying phoenix on its head. Princess Yinyao knew what Yuanshi Tianzun meant and communicated the brand in her sea of consciousness, "I agree." She immediately stiffened and sat still. Seconds later, she possessed the infant spirit. The other hand of the bronze mirror on its head wiped across her forehead, and a pale light lit up like pigment, engulfing her entire face. Black and red pigments outlined upward-tilting eyes and downward-pointing corners of her mouth, depicting a cunning and sinister white face. After Bai Lian became sinister and cunning, he was good at using conspiracies and tricks to take possession of the Yin Corpse. Zhang Yuanqing lazily leaned back in his chair and transmitted mental fluctuations of murmuring to himself: "If any of the four of them has a problem, the underground palace action will fail. It's obviously too late to kill them four to silence them at this time. I have to think of a way, I have to think of a way... hiss... which bastard chose to kill someone at this time to ruin my plans? I'm going to skin him alive and tear out his tendons. "What's wrong?" Guo Hezu cast a questioning gaze. "Why is it ** instead of rape?" Zhang Yuanqing asked. Ren Junzi answered the question for Guo Hezu: "Because there are no signs of fighting in the room. Xia Chaoxue's corpse state also proves that she didn't go through a fight. Her facial expression shows that she didn't expect the murderer to kill her at all. Plus, there are traces of ***, so we can judge that it was a crime committed by an acquaintance." "It's highly likely that it's Xia Chaoxue's lover. We need to investigate her personal relationships. But there's one point that's very suspicious. Xia Chaoxue is a Sand Ghost, and the Sand Ghost's passive immunity to physical attacks can save her life." "Even if Xia Chaoxue didn't expect to be attacked, she should have reacted after being attacked, right? That's what I'm pointing at." While Zhang Yuanqing was dragging out time, he was quickly thinking of countermeasures using Bai Lian's buffs. "If Xia Chaoxue was being influenced by mental control skills, the lack of signs of a fight doesn't necessarily mean it was a crime committed by an acquaintance. It could also be the situation I'm talking about." Ren Junzi nodded: "A very logical speculation, but I think there can be a simpler and easier way. This requires the help of you Star Officials." With a cold expression, Zhao Chenghuang nodded, "I'll do it." Not only Zhang Yuanqing was anxious, but from the beginning to the end, the underground palace team did not exchange glances or reveal any abnormalities, demonstrating impressive psychological qualities. Zhao Chenghuang turned his gaze and stared at Xia Chaoxue's corpse. Black, viscous energy quickly stained his eye sockets, covering his pupils and whites. He just looked for a few seconds, then his brow suddenly furrowed, the blackness in his eyes receded, and his tone became exceptionally serious: "The spirit body has been erased." "Erased?" Hearing this, Sun Miaomiao, Zhang Yuanqing, and Yuan Ting all showed strange expressions.

And other people's eyes also followed suit, becoming complicated. Their gazes swept back and forth across the faces of the Taiyi Sect trio. Erasing

The spirit body of the deceased is a skill only possessed by Night Roamers. There are so few Star Officials in Qin Feng Academy, four students and one teacher. Ren Junzi swept across the four Star Officials and said lightly: "My intuition tells me that this case may be very troublesome." Just as he was speaking, the door to the room was pushed open. The old dean, with his gray hair, brought the "Stargazer" and "Teacher Song Man" over. Seeing the corpse on the bed, the old dean's expression instantly sank, and then he looked at the students in the room, "Tell me your findings." Tianxia Guihu reported the analyses of the two swordsmen and the results of Zhao Chenghuang's soul questioning in detail to the Dean. "I've been teaching at Qinfeng for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered a murder case, and the deceased is still an Executor..." The Dean pinched his eyebrows and let out a heavy breath. "Stargazer, go take a look." The Stargazer walked to the bed and used the Soul Devouring skill. Soon, he shook his head and said: "The spirit body has indeed been erased." The Dean nodded slowly and personally went around the room to conduct a second verification, then asked: "Time of death?" Guo Hezu responded: "Probably in the second half of the night or close to dawn." So far, there is no technology that can accurately pinpoint the deceased's time of death. Even Scouts with rich autopsy experience can only pinpoint it to a general range. The old dean said "Mm," and cast a sharp glance at the students in the room, "Everyone, gather downstairs. In light of this incident, classes are canceled. It would be best if we can find the murderer before the end of the training. If we can't find them, we can only hand it over to headquarters." His tone was no longer gentle, revealing a sharp edge, as if the students were no longer students, but potential suspects. He, as the Dean, could not shirk the responsibility for a murder occurring in the academy and would definitely be held accountable. Finding the murderer could be considered meritorious service. "The second half of the night, close to dawn..." Bai Lian Yuanshi Tianzun vaguely grasped an inspiration. In the second half of the night, they had already disbanded and gone to sleep. If he could set the lie detection content to "the second half of the night," "dawn," and other words, then the lie detection tool would not be able to distinguish the lie, because it was not a lie in the first place. While various thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly noticed a detail: why was Xia Chaoxue's sleeping posture like that? Why did she go to bed without taking off her skirt? Why was Xia Chaoxue still wearing a skirt? Xia Chaoxue had a great figure, with big breasts, a slender waist, and curvy hips. It seemed like her butt was also big. If it were me, I wouldn't let her wear clothes. The people in the room left with the Dean. The Stargazer, who was walking at the end, closed the door and came to the bottom of the dormitory building with the students waiting in the corridor. A murder had occurred at Qinfeng Academy. This was the first time since the school was founded. The teachers of the academy had all been summoned to the bottom of the girls' dormitory, divided into two camps with the students. Everyone listened to the old Dean, who was narrating the assistance results in a low voice. The current situation is that Song Man and Little Fairy Niulanshan did not obtain inspiration from the plants and animals. No outsiders had entered the girls' dormitory during the time of the incident. The case suddenly became tricky. The old Dean said painfully: "I am the second Dean of Qinfeng Academy. I have been here for six years, the previous Dean served for eight years. I have served for six years. In fourteen years, the academy has never had a murder case. Xia Chaoxue's death shocks, pities, and angers me." After a pause, he slowly said: "But since things have already happened, we can only accept reality. Next, all classes will be suspended until this case is investigated and the murderer is caught. During this period, students will supervise each other, teachers will supervise each other, and students and teachers will supervise each other." You already know the investigation results. Who knows which male student Xia Chaoxue usually gets close to?" No one answered. The male students looked at each other. The female students scrutinized the male students. The male teachers were silent. At this time, Yuan Ting said: "Dean, among the twenty-two students, Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, and I are from the Taiyi Sect. Sanyang Kaitai and Ren Junzi are from the same branch. Yuanshi Tianzun and Tianxia Guihu are from the same branch. As for the others, they are all from different branches. That is to say... well, theoretically speaking, Xia Chaoxue shouldn't have a lover here, right? I'm not saying there's a problem with her private life. I'm just stating the facts." Is Yuan Ting a social butterfly? He has already figured out everyone's background? Zhang Yuanqing was both admiring and pained. If Xia Chaoxue shouldn't have a lover in the academy, who did she sleep with last night? The complexity of the case suddenly skyrocketed. "That's *** then?" Zhao Fei asked, looking at Hongjige, "There aren't many people in the academy who can do this, right?" "Who are you looking at?" Hongjige burst into anger. "I have wives and concubines in droves outside. The women who worship me can line up from Huadu to Beijing. Do I need to ***?" The old Dean scrutinized Hongjige, "The case is a bit complicated. It doesn't seem like he did it." Hongjige didn't know whether to be angry or fortunate for a moment. "Is this case difficult? I

I think it's very simple." A voice with a sneer rang out. Everyone turned their heads to look. The speaker was Zhu Mingxu, dressed like an idol trainee. He met the gazes of the students and teachers, put his hands in his pockets, and said: "The Dean just said that there were no signs of fighting, it was a crime committed by an acquaintance, and the spirit body was erased after death.

There are not many people who can do these two things, right? Yuanshi Tianzun?" As soon as these words came out, the crowd roared. Female students such as Sun Miaosen, Peony Fairy, and Little Fairy Niulanshan glared at Zhu Mingxu. "You sissy, what nonsense are you talking about?!" ""Does Yuanshi Tianzun need to force himself on anyone? Do you believe that as long as he wants, your mother will strip herself naked and lie down for him!" "It's not popular to be a cross-dresser now. How dare you, in your appearance, question Yuanshi Tianzun *** women?" The vulgarity of women cursing is no less than that of men. Most of the official Saints, especially the female group, are fans of Yuanshi Tianzun. To take a step back, even if they are not Yuanshi Tianzun's fans, they are people from the same organization. How can they allow the Lingjing Family to slander him? Zhu Mingxu was splattered with foul language and cursed by women, and he was immediately a little embarrassed and angry, and sneered, "Only Night Roamers can erase spirit bodies, only Night Roamers can come and go without a trace, and only Night Roamers can possess and control. You bunch of smelly women, tell me who is it if it's not Yuanshi Tianzun? Of course, it may also be Teacher Zhao Chenghuang, Yuan Ting, and Stargazer. Anyway, it's just these few people. Investigate them." The female students were still scolding, but no one could say a word of rebuttal. Zhang Yuanqing said loudly: "The clear are clear. Dean, I am willing to accept a lie detection." The commotion and scolding stopped. The Dean nodded slightly: "This is an inevitable test." Saying that, he grabbed a six-inch-long, brown horn from his inventory. "Hold this item and answer my questions. If you lie, it will glow." Not being a Scout profession, Zhang Yuanqing took the brown horn frankly. Without waiting for the Dean to speak, he took the initiative to say: "I didn't go to the girls' dormitory last night. I didn't kill Xia Chaoxue, and I didn't rape her." Under the blessing of the white face, his thinking speed was significantly accelerated, becoming more treacherous and more adaptable on the spot. Everyone stared at the brown horn. It did not react in any way. Many female students secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu Mingxu was stunned, his face full of disappointment, and then he fell into contemplation. The four members of the underground palace action team immediately understood that Yuanshi Tianzun was demonstrating to them how to go through this process. The four members of the underground palace action team immediately understood that Yuanshi Tianzun was demonstrating to them how to go through this process. The old Dean stared at him silently and nodded. Suddenly, he asked: "You stayed in the dormitory all night last night?" "Why are you asking this?" Zhang Yuanqing looked at the Dean calmly. If it weren't for the Sage Time of the Ghost Mirror, his gaze would definitely be suddenly sharp or his pupils would shrink. This simple question revealed a lot of information to Zhang Yuanqing. He had already proven his innocence. According to normal logic, if he didn't kill the person, why ask such a question? Does staying in the dormitory all night have anything to do with the deceased? If he hadn't proven his innocence, such questioning could be understood, but the Dean clearly knew through Insight and the lie detection tool that he was not the murderer, but he still asked this question. Only one person would care whether the students left the dormitory at night, that is the Armor Man. But how did he know that the stone gate had been opened?
