After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 142: Case Closed

Hearing what Yang Qi said, Gu An felt somewhat shocked.

There were four people dead.

Their arms had been crushed.

All these were consistent with those whom he would lay his hands on.

But he did not kill anyone, nor did he sever their heads.

The purpose was not to alert the Law Enforcement Hall.

Even if it did alert them, it would not be a big issue.

If it were outside the sect, he would have taken action long ago, and the Law Enforcement Hall would likely make short work of it.

But within the sect, the chances of quick disposal were lower.

So, not gambling on probabilities was the safest.

Indeed, with their deaths, things escalated.

But the people were not killed by him, yet it was related to him.

Although he had not asked who specifically had died, the tea shop was apprehended, and so was Junior Sister Bai Qing.

There was basically no need to ask anymore.

And would the suspects be questioned in secret?

"Is this matter reliable?" Gu An asked.

"It’s reliable. I have a fellow townsman who is in the Law Enforcement Hall, and she told me," Yang Qi confidently said, then added:

"Moreover, the biggest suspect has already been caught, not to mention some smaller suspects, and it is said that a certain senior brother will personally visit."

"The biggest suspect?" Gu An was somewhat puzzled.

"It’s a junior sister from the Iron Heart Wood management, named Bai Qing," Yang Qi said.

"I know her, Ninth Level of Qi Refining, and the ones who died, were they all Qi Refining?" Gu An asked.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he almost blurted out that Junior Sister Bai Qing couldn’t have killed those four.

"I don’t know about that. I heard she had a conflict with those four in the tea shop, and on that day, those four died, and yet her management office had an extra fifty Spirit Stones.

If it wasn’t her who killed them, then who else?" Yang Qi said.

"There are too many loopholes," Gu An shook his head and said:

"If you were the killer, would you keep the Spirit Stones at the management office?"

"That’s the cleverness of her plan, making people believe there are too many loopholes to doubt her, while hiding her actual deeds," Yang Qi said in all seriousness:

"The appearance of being full of holes is exactly what she wants to portray.

In fact, she is a person with deep machinations."

Gu An: "..."

If those fifty Spirit Stones were not personally placed by himself, he would indeed think it was possible.

But the people from the Law Enforcement Hall will certainly not believe it was Bai Qing.

Because she doesn’t have that kind of strength.

Yang Qi stayed a bit longer, then left.

He said he was going to find that fellow townsman for more information.

Gu An didn’t stop him.

But he was somewhat concerned about this matter.

Could he be investigated?

In theory, it seems unlikely.

After dark.

Gu An followed the moonlight and headed towards his residence.

Fortunately, he didn’t take any symbolic items, otherwise, he’d have to hide them.

But there were still some things inside that could not be seen by others.

With a sigh, he split off a Storage Treasure and placed the items inside.

He hid it in the Qianfeng River.

This way it was secure.

Once he became a suspect, or even caught, it was quite possible that he would have to hand over everything on him.

That would cause a great trouble.

Back at his residence.

Gu An didn’t see any noodles.

He took out ordinary fish food and fed the fish and shrimp inside.

Then he planned to return to his room for cultivation.

Recently, things outside were turbulent, and he didn’t dare to wander aimlessly.

But just as he turned around, a figure appeared under the moonlight atop a tree branch.

The instant he appeared, his gaze was cast over.

Gu An realized it immediately but didn’t dare to act rashly.

The substantial pressure made his heart tremble with fear.

Very strong.

At the same time, the figure took out a Token from his waist, displaying it prominently.

There was a single technique character on it, strikingly eye-catching.

"Law Enforcement Hall on duty."

Gu An’s spirit was shaken, someone from the Law Enforcement Hall had come for him.

He didn’t dare to think further and could only respectfully bow.

However, the other party just looked at him without speaking.

The immense pressure came howling down, making it somewhat unbearable for Gu An. free𝑤ebnovel.com

He could only counter it with his Body Skill technique.

At that moment, the person’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Just joined the Inner Sect, I advise you to behave, you won’t be so lucky next time."

Afterward, the figure soared into the sky, leaving quickly:

"The person wasn’t killed by you this time, I won’t capture you, but there won’t be a next time."

Then, something flew down from the sky.

Bang!

It embedded into the tree like a disc.

Gu An was somewhat puzzled and looked in that direction.

It was a mask.

Black and white joined.

This was a mask of the same style as his.

"Was it when buying the mask that I exposed myself?"

Gu An sighed inwardly.

He had still underestimated the lurking dangers.

Even his meticulous avoidance couldn’t prevent their inexplicable accidental deaths.

Moreover, when the people from the Law Enforcement Hall took matters seriously, it was so perilous.

Fortunately, he wasn’t the one who committed the murder this time, so there weren’t any serious issues.

But he did cause some injury to that person, which was a sin as well.

However, for some reason, the other party didn’t dig deeper.

Watching the spot where the other party had disappeared, Gu An felt quite emotional, "No wonder many people, knowing there’s an 80% chance nothing will happen, still don’t dare to take the risk. What if you encounter such a person, how could you possibly escape?"

Your strength isn’t as great as theirs, your background isn’t as strong as theirs.

They hold a Sect’s Magic Sword in their hand, with the right to monitor the entire Sect.

In case of a major conflict, they even have the authority to execute first and report later."

"Although I don’t know what’s going on, it seems like I’ve dodged a bullet," Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.

But being weak means being at the mercy of others. He needed to become stronger as quickly as possible.

Additionally, he was curious about how those four had died.

The next day.

Yang Qi came again.

"The case is solved," Yang Qi excitedly ran into the Spiritual Treasure Vault and said:

"Senior Brother, the case is solved. The murderer has been found, and the reason has been discovered too."

Hearing this, Gu An was intrigued, "What happened?"

"The murderer is at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, apparently, he has fled," Yang Qi took a breath and said:

"This murderer, named Wang Wen, seems to have approached those four guys before looking for someone.

When it came to collecting Spirit Stones, they didn’t go easy at all.

Over the course of a year, they took five hundred Spirit Stones from him.

Five hundred! Apparently, those were the Spirit Stones he earned risking his life; he had even lost an arm.

Just to find his relatives.

Yet after a year, those four told him that there are successes and failures in transactions, and this time they failed.

So forget about finding the person, they wouldn’t return a single penny.

Naturally, he didn’t agree.

He said they should at least return half of the Spirit Stones.

Still, they refused, saying he gave them willingly, there’s no reason to return anything.

Wang Wen, enraged, fought with them.

But how could he possibly be a match for four people?

His other hand was broken, and they even told Wang Wen with a laugh that they hadn’t looked for anyone this entire year.

They had just used his Spirit Stones to drink.

Wang Wen was so angry his Spiritual Energy reversed, almost ruining his cultivation.

It took a year to recover slightly, but his cultivation could hardly improve.

Those four, on the other hand, were still living carefree.

Then came a turning point, recently those four deceived the Iron Heart Wood manager using the same method, and then a conflict arose in the teahouse.

Since those four dared to do it, it meant they weren’t afraid of the manager.

Indeed, that manager was severely injured and humiliated.

But perhaps they went too far, or maybe the Iron Heart Wood manager had backers,

those four were subdued by an unknown person later that afternoon, their arms crushed, and they sustained serious injuries.

After their severe injuries, it seemed like they wanted the Law Enforcement Hall to seek justice for them.

They even planned to go there with their injuries.

By coincidence, they ran into Wang Wen on the way.

It’s especially grievous for enemies to meet, and upon seeing all four heavily injured, anger arose from Wang Wen’s heart, the audacity fueled from his gall, he erupted into a killing spree.

He ended up killing all four of them.

Afterward, he defected from the Sect and fled."
