Imperial Guard Camp, the pot exploded.
The death of Zhou Tong was like a drop of boiling oil splashed into boiling water, making the atmosphere in the entire Demon Suppression Division Nanling Prefecture branch strange and anxious.
Everyone's eyes drifted to two places intentionally or unintentionally.
One is the official office of Qianhu Zhang Tao. The door is now closed. In front of the door are two stern-looking warriors wearing black uniforms that are different from Imperial Guard Camp.
That's the guy from the Supervision Bureau.
Another place is the Centurion official office of Lu Chen.
Compared with the crowd at Zhang Tao, here at Lu Chen there are people coming and going, but every Imperial Guard who comes to report official business has a hint of awe and inquiry on his face.
They looked at Lu Chen who was sitting on the main seat, looking through the files calmly, and the same thought came to their minds.
Who is this young Centurion?
First, in the Anmin Ward blood sacrifice case, he achieved immortality with a seriously injured body.
Immediately afterwards, he was involved in the secrets of the palace, which led to personal questioning by the head of the inner court; and now, Qianhu Zhang Tao, who had always had a gap with him, became a major suspect in the murder of his colleagues overnight!
This series of events is full of weirdness, and the center of all the whirlpools points to this seemingly harmless young man.
Is it Fortunate General? Or... disaster star?
Lu Chen seemed oblivious to the complex glances around him. His mind had long been as silent as a cold pond.
Zhou Tong's body was the "trophy" he deliberately left behind.
Zhang Tao's private residence is his carefully selected "stage".
Supervision Bureau's intervention, although unexpected, did exactly what he wanted.
What he wants is to muddy the waters and make things bigger! Let everyone's eyes focus on Zhang Tao, leaving him nowhere to hide, and turning all his back-up moves into dead moves!
"Centurion Lu."
A slightly older but energetic voice sounded at the door.
Lu Chen raised his head and saw an old man wearing Supervision Bureau chief's robe, with white beard and hair, and eyes as sharp as an eagle, standing at the door and looking at him quietly.
It is Supervision Bureau's person in charge this time, Chen Xuan.
"Lord Chen." Lu Chen slowly put down the file and stood up, cupping his hands without being humble or condescending.
He knew that the real confrontation had only begun now.
"Come with me." Chen Xuan turned around and left without any unnecessary nonsense.
Lu Chen straightened his robes and followed him calmly.
Supervision Bureau temporarily requisitioned an interrogation room. The room was empty, with only an iron-wood table and two chairs.
Chen Xuan sat in the main seat and did not look at Lu Chen. Instead, he used the tea lid to skim the foam in the cup and asked lightly, "I have read the file of the Anmin Ward blood sacrifice case. It says that you were seriously injured and narrowly escaped death. But I see you Centurion Lu, Qi and Blood is full of energy, full of energy, and it seems... nothing serious?"
Before he finished speaking, an invisible energy locked Lu Chen.
This aura was not overbearing, but was like mercury pouring down the ground, pervasive, as if it wanted to see him from the inside out.
Meridian Opening realm! And he is a veteran who has been immersed in this realm for many years!
Lu Chen instantly made a judgment in his heart, but a wry smile appeared on his face, and his breath became a little empty.
"My lord, I am laughing. Fortunately, I have awakened a thin trace of ancestral blood, and my recovery ability is better than ordinary people. However, the internal injuries I suffered that day have not healed yet. I am just holding on with a burst of energy."
As he spoke, he coughed twice at the right time, and his face turned an abnormal flush.
This performance was watertight.
Chen Xuan's sharp eyes stayed on him for a moment, without comment, and continued to ask, "Zhou Tong, do you recognize him?"
"I recognize it." Lu Chen said calmly, "We are both Imperial Guard Camp Centurion. We will see you when you look up."
"How's the relationship?"
"It can't be said to be good, nor can it be said to be bad. Zhou Centurion is a confidant of Zhang Qianhu and we have never been in the same group." Lu Chen's answer was very clever. It not only pointed out the relationship between Zhou Tong and Zhang Tao, but also distinguished himself.
Chen Xuan finally raised his eyes, those cloudy eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
"Why did Centurion, who was not from the same family as you, die in Zhang Qianhu's private residence late at night? What's the explanation for the 'evidence' related to the blood sacrifice case in his arms?"
Coming!
Lu Chen felt shocked, but the right amount of shock and anger appeared on his face at the right time.
"Lord Chen means... doubt me?!"
He stood up abruptly, and because of his excitement, his breath became disordered again, "This subordinate is also a victim! The incident of Blood God Child was completely false and was framed by someone! In order to prove his innocence, my subordinate secretly investigated. Who would have thought..."
He changed the subject, with a hint of fear and speculation in his voice.
"Maybe... Zhou Centurion and Zhang Qianhu really got something from that Anmin Ward. Afterwards, due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, internal strife broke out, and it is not impossible for Zhang Qianhu to kill and silence him!"
This remark, half true and half false, perfectly connects all the clues and points to the most logical and convincing possibility - black and white!
Chen Xuan listened quietly, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table without interrupting him.
It wasn't until Lu Chen finished speaking that he spoke slowly, with no emotion or anger in his voice. "You mean, you know nothing about Zhou Tong's death?"
"I dare to guarantee it with my life!" Lu Chen said firmly.
There was a long silence in the interrogation room.
Only the "tap, tap, tap, tap" knocking sound of Chen Xuan echoed in the oppressive air, as if it was knocking on people's hearts.
After a long time, Chen Xuan waved his hand.
"Okay, you can go back first. Remember, you are not allowed to leave Nanling Prefecture without permission before the case is found out."
"Yes."
Lu Chen bowed, turned around and exited the interrogation room.
The moment he turned around, the shocked, angry and aggrieved expression on his face instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a bottomless coldness.
He knew that Chen Xuan did not completely believe him.
But again, no evidence can be produced to prove him.
And the possibility of "black and white" that he raised has taken root in the Supervision Bureau's heart like a seed.
That's enough.
What he wants is this suspicion!
