Chapter 1715 - 1720: Catching the Murderer
The three people already knew that Lin Fei was cultivating in the room, so they prepared a drug and directly used a bamboo tube to blow it into the room. If he was unprepared, even a master at the Nascent Soul Realm would feel weak in the limbs.
However, they did not expect Lin Fei to have noticed long ago; he simply pretended not to react, maintaining the appearance of calm cultivation. He was also gradually holding his breath, preventing himself from breathing.
At this moment, Lin Fei discovered the use of the drug, so after a while, he intentionally collapsed onto the bed, making the three people rejoice, thinking Lin Fei had a strong resistance to drugs. But he wasn’t really unconscious, and so, as Lin Fei had already fallen, they quietly entered Lin Fei’s room.
Lin Fei waited for them to enter the room, and finally, he heard one of the three say to him: "Kid, blame it on your own wretched life! You’re clearly someone from the Lower Realm, yet you try to meddle. Chenghua spared your life, yet you show no gratitude and continue interfering here. The second young lord didn’t keep you, so there’s nothing we can do."
"Old Three, why are you chattering? Hurry up and strike! Stop wasting time!" a leading man in black clothing spoke.
Old Three nodded, raised his large knife high, and then thrust it towards Lin Fei’s chest!
However, at this moment, Lin Fei suddenly opened his eyes, flipped his body quickly, and escaped the range of the attack. At the same time, Lin Fei immediately threw a punch at Old Three.
"Ah!"
Old Three let out a miserable cry, not expecting Lin Fei to not be unconscious, realizing it was all a guise. At this moment, the other two startled accomplices finally responded and attacked Lin Fei.
Lin Fei smiled and extended his hands to use God Demon Binding, directly trapping these three inside.
It must be said, God Demon Binding is truly powerful. Under the same level, no one can escape its confinement, thus they were directly captured by Lin Fei and trapped within God Demon Binding.
Lin Fei smiled, looked at the three inside, their anxious expressions, and directly pulled out one, leaving two inside, only taking Old Three out.
As for why he did this? Lin Fei was worried they might commit suicide; if they did, they’d be lost forever and he wouldn’t find the culprit.
Lin Fei himself wasn’t thinking much about it, but unexpectedly he was thrown a bone. Moreover, they mentioned the second young lord, Lin Fei thought of Wang Mang that day in the grand hall, saying he deserved to die at fifteen or sixteen years old.
"At such a young age, so venomous! Truly shouldn’t be allowed to live. Since that’s the case, I want to see how the City Lord handles it. You will come with me to reveal that vile kid’s true face."
Lin Fei finished speaking and directly took the three of them towards the City Lord Mansion.
On the way, he attracted the attention of many cultivators, who started discussing upon seeing Lin Fei.
"Little brother, what is that big black sphere of yours carrying?" someone couldn’t help but ask, as Lin Fei held a person in one hand and controlled the big black sphere with the other, rolling towards the City Lord Mansion, too curious.
Lin smiled slightly and said to them: "Inside is the murderer of the eldest son. I’m heading to the City Lord Mansion now. Want to watch the show?"
"No, no, we’re not going." Someone quickly shook their hand, unwilling to go, lest they invite trouble.
Some wanted to go but were stopped by their friends, saying their wives had prevented them, as such matters had nothing to do with them. The City Lord’s previous handling of things was very disappointing, not caring about right or wrong, merely killing anyone with suspicion, totally indiscriminate.
No different from a demon beast!
Lin Fei saw nobody following, but couldn’t care less, walking alone towards the City Lord Mansion.
The City Lord was resting when the guards reported, announcing that someone captured the murderer of the eldest son. City Lord Wang Batian immediately turned over and asked, "Really? Where are they?!"
"Waiting at the city gate."
"Bring him in immediately!"
In the main hall of the City Lord Mansion, Lin Fei brought a massive black sphere and a person into the hall, followed by a little wolfdog and the collar transformed by Little Black.
"Lin Fei, what’s that in your hand?" the City Lord asked, puzzled.
Lin Fei smiled, "City Lord, what’s in my hand are the murderers of the eldest son. They tried to kill me today, but were discovered by me, failed to succeed, and were instead captured by me."
"Oh? Bring them out for a look!" the City Lord said.
But Lin Fei shook his head, saying, "City Lord, absolutely not."
"Why do you say that?" Wang Batian asked, not understanding Lin Fei’s reasoning.
Lin Fei smiled, "I think we should interrogate one first, otherwise they might collude and deny murdering anyone. Then what would we do?"
Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, the City Lord found it very reasonable and immediately had the person in front interrogated. Old Three was indeed tough, refusing to speak, but Lin Fei used God Demon Binding to confine him, making him unable to hear or see anything.
"Lin Fei, this person seems to say nothing, how can you be sure he’s the culprit?" Wang Batian asked, puzzled why Lin Fei considered him the murderer.
Lin Fei smiled, "City Lord, don’t worry, we have other methods, and the other two haven’t been interrogated. So let me question this person first."
Hearing Lin Fei’s words, City Lord Wang Batian nodded, watching Lin Fei interrogate another person.
Lin Fei directly released another person, watching the person, full of panic and confusion, especially when seeing the City Lord, immediately trembling in fear.
Lin Fei asked, "I ask you, did you kill the eldest young master?"
Upon hearing Lin Fei’s question, this assassin clearly wouldn’t admit it, shaking his head, saying they didn’t kill, knew nothing, they were captured suddenly by Lin Fei.
Both said the same, making the City Lord Mansion somewhat believe Lin Fei randomly captured people, fooling them.
Lin Fei laughed, a wild, confident laugh made the killer’s heart skip a beat.
"You still refuse to speak the truth? Your companion already confessed, the second young lord Wang Mang ordered you, yet you won’t admit?!" Lin Fei spoke coldly.
The assassin’s face instantly turned pale!
