THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
85: Should I Ask That Woman for Help?
Liu Xingchen's words surprised Jiang Hao.
There were 3,000 nutrient pearls in his storage treasure!
If his storage treasures were investigated, Jiang Hao would definitely be revealed upon Zuoquan's death.
Jiang Hao was relieved that Liu Xingchen was in no hurry to check on him now. He felt cursed, but he remained calm.
'I have to find a way to hide that storage treasure, ' Jiang Hao thought.
When the people from the Law Enforcement Hall finished searching, Jiang Hao followed them out. It was not that he had the choice to refuse.
“We headed to where Law Enforcement Hall was conducting an investigation. The investigation may last for seven days. I have to trouble you for that long, Young Brother Jiang,” Liu Xingchen said politely. “Of course there is no problem at all,” said Jiang Hao. “Which disciples were killed?”
“A disciple from the Hundred Bones Forest,” Liu Xingchen said. “Young Brother Jiang, do you have a problem with Li Kai?”
“We have a slight difference of opinion with matters relating to Spirit Herb Garden,” Jiang Hao said.
Liu Xingchen nodded. “Four other Spirit Potion Garden keepers have also been taken to Law Enforcement Hall,” he said. “We have had to gather all the people who made contact with the Hundred Bones Forest disciples in the past few days for interrogation.”
“Senior sister Li is an inner sect disciple, right?” asked Jiang Hao.
“This... hard to say. Law Enforcement Hall is taking over the investigation for this,” Liu Xingchen said. “I do not have the qualifications to lead a tough student-related investigation. Otherwise, I will be able to tell you more about it.”
Jiang Hao nodded. “How is the general process of such an investigation?”
“Yah... firstly, the people related to this case were arrested for interrogation. They were observed for some time. It lasts at most about two days,” Liu Xingchen said. “Then, the official investigation begins depending on the instructions collected. It probably lasted about three days. Last two days set aside for the result.”
“Typically, it does not take long,” Liu Xingchen said. The duration of seven days was to ensure the investigation was impartial, and the twelve branches were informed of its development.
Jiang Hao had many questions. He wanted to ask what would happen if someone guaranteed it. Will the sect let him go?
The killer will be thrown into the Lawless Tower as punishment. His territory will be eroded! Perhaps he could still mine and collect bubbles and try to find a way to pass through the Lawless Tower…
'Bridge destroyed! It has not been renovated yet! Maybe I can find a job somewhere else as a laborer…'
Jiang Hao's heart sank. It's all over for him! 'I wonder if Re-emergence
The ability of the Hidden Spirit would be enough to fight the Lawless Tower. No. If I were caught, no one would be able to save me unless my master protected me. That is impossible.”
Internally, Jiang Hao was in chaos. From the outside, he looks fine.
According to Liu Xingchen, the Law Enforcement Hall was unlikely to ask for his storage treasures for at least two days.
As long as Jiang Hao could find a secluded place to hide the nutrient pearl, he would be fine.
'Who should I ask for help?'
He looked at Liu Xingchen. Jiang Hao did not think he could help. Besides, he can't confess. He would take the risk without knowing if Liu Xingchen would definitely help him. That's too dangerous.
'Who else? That woman?'
Maybe he could ask her to visit him under the pretext that he needed to take his flowers away.
Compared to Liu Xingchen, Jiang Hao trusted him more.
Jiang Hao did not realize that things would escalate to this level.
“So... if I get killed someday, will the Law Enforcement Hall do everything in its power to find the killer?” asked Jiang Hao.
Liu Xingchen laughed. “Do you still remember the case I mentioned earlier? An assassin roamed freely in the sect. He relied on his ability to hide and kill anyone who could provide a clue to his whereabouts. Sect Master wants him demoted. Then, the Law Enforcement Hall applied for the sect's supreme treasure, the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror. They are determined to find the killer at all costs. They finally caught him and killed him on the spot.”
Liu Xingchen looked at Jiang Hao. “Since that time Law Enforcement Hall tightened its rules. Those on the Law Enforcement Hall list, as both suspects and witnesses, are given full protection. Of course, sometimes the rules make exceptions like.Youn Ruo.” Young Brother.
Jiang Hao lowered his head and sighed.
The iron door closed with a loud noise. Jiang Hao was told to stay in a small room. There is a large hole in one corner of the ceiling that lets a little light in but does not brighten the room.
There was nothing in the room except the bed. He sat on it and observed his surroundings.
By studying the nameless manual, he was now able to detect slight fluctuations of spiritual energy in the surroundings.
This is just a holding room at Law Enforcement Hall. The security was not strong, and the room had no magical protection.
'As someone who is at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, I can easily escape from here but doing so is tantamount to admitting guilt. The sect will hunt me down. but waiting here to be proven guilty is also just as dangerous.’.
Once he was proven guilty, he would be thrown into the Lawless Tower. Will anyone try to save him?
Perhaps Elder Baizhi could help him because he was the one who brought him the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower, or perhaps the woman in red…
However, there was a chance that Elder Baizhi did not care. By the time Hong Yuye arrived, it might be too late.
Jiang Hao took a deep breath and looked at the ceiling.
Jiang Hao regretted having taken the pearl of nutrition. He might be able to get away with killing a formidable disciple, but he had made a huge mistake by taking the pearl.
If they search for him thoroughly, they will find his pearl.
If Jiang Hao got out of this situation, he would never make such a stupid mistake again!
Jiang Hao thought of a way to save himself. He could get out of here and run, or he could ask Liu Xingchen for help by exposing himself. Either that, or he could ask the red devil for help…
The woman in red knows a lot about him. If he could find something about her and use it as an influence to at least help her hide her storage treasures, he might be able to escape this time.
But how did he contact her?
He has two days at most. He needs to decide what to do in these two days.
Jiang Hao remained in the room and waited for the days to pass. He is waiting for the final decision.
In the worst-case scenario, he might have to rely on Liu Xingchen to give him time.
The next morning, Jiang Hao was awakened by a noise inside the room. He turned around and saw a white shadow crawling down from the hole in the ceiling. The head of the spirit beast looked down from the hole. He grinned when he saw Jiang
Hao.
“Master, you didn't buy me a necklace.”
Jiang Hao was silent..
