The Truth Comes to Light!

Huang Yan took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.

He understood that now was not the time to act impulsively; he had to remain calm in order to find the real mastermind.

"Sir, immediately send men to monitor Li Hao's every move, and at the same time strengthen patrols in the town to prevent evil spirits from taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble."

Huang Yan gave the order decisively, his voice conveying an unquestionable authority.

The officer nodded in agreement and hurriedly left.

Huang Yan looked at Ye Jing, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

He had never considered this aspect, nor did he expect Ye Jing to offer such profound insights, forcing him to re-examine the entire case.

"Ye Jing, why are you so sure Li Hao has a problem? Is it just because of your intuition?" Huang Yan's tone carried a hint of doubt, but more so, curiosity.

Ye Jing smiled slightly, a smile that revealed a hint of helplessness and indifference.

"Intuition? Perhaps, but more importantly, I know how to observe people's hearts. Li Hao's emotional changes and his behavior all revealed an unusual tension and anxiety."

This emotion is often closely linked to hidden secrets or ulterior motives.

Huang Yan remained silent for a moment, then had to admit that Ye Jing's words did indeed make some sense.

He re-examined Ye Jing and discovered that this young man seemed to be hiding many unknown secrets and talents.

"Ye Jing, if you are truly innocent, I will definitely clear your name, but until then, you need to stay here." Huang Yan's tone contained both promise and warning.

Ye Jing smiled calmly, as if he had already expected this outcome. "It's alright. Once the truth comes out, I will naturally regain my freedom."

After speaking, he turned and sat back down in the corner, maintaining his composure and calmness.

Huang Yan left the cell with mixed emotions, filled with uncertainty about the future and a desire for the truth.

The night remained deep, and beneath the tranquility of the town, undercurrents surged.

Huang Yan knew that a battle for truth and justice had only just begun.

He must go all out to unravel the layers of mystery and find the truth hidden behind them.

In the prison cell.

Ye Jing's lips curled into a smile.

He understood everything.

A person's State of Mind cannot change so quickly.

And just as Li Hao said, how could an ordinary person possibly obtain such pills?

However, he himself is certain that he could not have obtained the pills.

So there should be one more person in the town.

Everything that was guided silently from behind the scenes.

This not only drastically changed Li Hao's personality, leading him to assassinate the Alchemist, but also darkened Xue Lan's heart even further.

At the same time, he released some information in the town, preventing anyone from suspecting Li Hao.

These are the measures that Evil God love to use, because they are most capable of influencing a person's mind and controlling their emotions.

And that person, if nothing unexpected happens, is a subordinate of the Evil God.

As for who it is?

Ye Jing had someone in mind, but he couldn't be sure, so he asked his superior, Huang Yan, and others to investigate.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Xiao Li's best friend - Liu Yan!

Although there is no evidence, it is certain that some evidence can be found about the two individuals.

As for him...

His most important task was to stay quietly in his cell, acting as a harmless, quiet rabbit, so as to dispel their suspicions.

As Huang Yan and his superiors delve deeper into the investigation, a series of hidden clues gradually surface, revealing the unusual connection between Liu Yan and Li Hao.

They began their search of Li Hao's residence and unexpectedly discovered several encrypted letters. The handwriting on the letters was deliberately disguised and consisted of characters they did not recognize.

But don't forget, Ye Jing is someone I know.

Their plan was thus exposed.

Liu Yan provided the elixirs, while Li Hao was responsible for slandering Ye Jing.

"Boom!"

The truth, once revealed, caused an immediate uproar!

Meanwhile, rumors began to circulate among the town's residents about Liu Yan and Li Hao's frequent private meetings.

These rumors initially started as scattered whispers, but as the investigation deepened, more and more witnesses were found. They confirmed that Liu Yan visited Li Hao's home late at night multiple times before and after the incident, and that the two acted suspiciously, as if they were plotting something.

Huang Yan knew that Liu Yan was likely the mastermind behind everything, or at least had some connection with the Evil God forces.

He immediately ordered a city-wide manhunt for Liu Yan and dispatched additional personnel to search for his possible hiding places.

However, Liu Yan seemed to have been prepared. When the manhunt began, she had vanished without a trace, as if she had evaporated into thin air.

In a cave far away.

Liu Yan's eyes were bloodshot.

She didn't understand what went wrong.

Everything was going so smoothly.

Why did suspicion eventually fall on Li Hao?

Hateful.

Is it that Xue Lan?

Liu Yan slammed her fist heavily against the mountain wall.

But the next second...

She exploded, and blood filled the entire cave.

A pair of jet-black eyes appeared in the space, then slowly disappeared.

In the cold, damp stone walls of the prison, Li Hao huddled in a corner. The icy cold of the chains seeped through his clothes and pierced his very bones, but his heart was colder than the environment itself.

Those once ambitious eyes are now filled with nothing but endless emptiness and regret.

"How... how did I end up like this?" he murmured to himself, his voice echoing in the empty cell, tinged with a sense of desolation and resentment.

Every time he recalled how he was gradually consumed by evil thoughts and how he was seduced by Liu Yan's sweet lies, his heart ached as if it were being cut by a sharp blade.

"I could have been a good person..." Li Hao's eyes welled up with tears, which silently slid down and dripped onto the cold ground, where they were instantly absorbed without a trace.

He began to recall the harmonious days he and Xiao Li had spent together, those simple yet heartwarming moments that had now become the most unattainable dream in his heart.

"Liu Yan... why did she do this?" Li Hao gritted his teeth, his hatred and doubt intertwined, making him almost suffocate.

He realized that he was nothing more than an insignificant pawn in Liu Yan's hands, used and abandoned, and ultimately forced to bear all the blame.

However, in this abyss of despair, a glimmer of light quietly shone into Li Hao's heart.

That was a yearning for justice, an expectation of redemption.

He began to reflect on his mistakes and longed for an opportunity to make amends, even if it was just a tiny bit.

"If... if I can help Huang Yan and the others find Liu Yan and expose her true colors, perhaps... I can still receive a sliver of forgiveness." A spark of hope ignited in Li Hao's heart.

"Someone come here! Someone come here! I will help you find Liu Yan."

"I can help you, someone come here, I'll find Liu Yan..."

He kept banging on the cell door and shouting.

Suddenly, a calm voice rang out from the side:

"Don't even think about it. You killed someone, you should pay with your life!"
