“Vice Commander Fu, how should we deal with this lad?”
“Check him out first and then those who were trapped in the illusionary array. Release them only after you interrogate them thoroughly. Detain anyone suspicious!”
Fu Yinhong turned around and looked at the City Guards on the black street. She yelled, “All of you, continue to expand the search!”
“Yes!”
The unison reply echoed in the air. Dozens of guards scattered in all directions after they heard the command.
Xu Xiaoshou was shocked to hear this, thinking that it was not finished yet. It seemed that they would detain some people after the interrogation.
“I don’t have so much time for you to detain me,” he thought.
“There is a possibility that I will stay in jail for a month after leaving the Spirit Palace. But…”
“Miss Fu, could you forgo the process of checking me out because I have something else to do. How about I show you the direction, and you let me go?” Xu Xiaoshou ventured.
“Show me the direction?” Fu Yinhong glared at him. “You didn’t see anything earlier, but now you are saying you saw things.”
“It’s because I have been sitting here, so I’m different from those who were trapped in the array!”
“Hmph…”
Fu Yinhong sneered inwardly. She knew that this lad was not simple and might actually know something.
“Tell me!”
“I can tell you, but you have to keep it a secret because I don’t want to lose my life!”
“Out with it!”
Xu Xiaoshou took a deep breath and described with his hands, “This… This height, masked, cloudy eyes, but with a strong Sword Will… Quite relaxed.”
“Masked?”
“Yes, although I couldn’t see the face clearly, I could tell there was a very strong Sword Will!”
“Which direction did the killer go?”
“I don’t know.”
Fu Yinhong wasn’t sure what to say.
“Didn’t you say that you would point the direction for me?” she snapped through gritted teeth. The veins on her neck were bulging.
Xu Xiaoshou smiled bitterly. “I’d like to point a direction for you, but it’s already quite good that I can provide you with some information about the killer’s face. It’s because I can see something with my perception. Otherwise, you would know nothing!”
Fu Yinhong was silent.
In fact, the detailed description given by Xu Xiaoshou had put her suspicions to rest.
If Xu Xiaoshou could really point a direction, she would be suspicious. But the nearly perfect description…
To be honest, she believed that Xu Xiaoshou had tried his best.
This lad had made quite an effort to avoid being detained.
Judging by his behavior, she could tell that the young man had been carefree in the Spiritual Palace and looked down on others.
It was not so bad that he could tell her as much as he had.
Could this lad clean up the site, collude with the tavern owner, and fabricate a reasonable and believable story in such a short time?
Fu Yinhong didn’t believe it at all.
Since she found out that he was in the early level of Innate Stage, she had already excluded any possibility of investigating him further in her heart.
“What do you think?”
Xu Xiaoshou looked at Fu Yinhong innocently. He would steal a glance at her body from time to time.
He looked like an ordinary customer and behaved in the same way as those young men from famous families.
Fu Yinhong let out a sigh of relief. Her pretty eyes blinked. Xu Xiaoshou was on the verge of drooling when he witnessed the scene.
She turned around and flew up into the sky. While waving her slender hand, she coldly spoke.
“Detain him for 10 days and then release him!”
Even though the lad was not a suspect anymore, detaining him for 10 days was enough to compensate for the psychological pain he had inflicted on her during their conversation.
He was such a hack.
“Yes!”
The guard at his side stood solemnly.
“No, please, no!” Xu Xiaoshou shouted. “I’ve already told you everything I know, yet you still want to detain me! You are using your power for personal gain! You are greedy for money and lust!”
The guard was startled.
Admired, passive point, 1.
An irritated yell could be heard in the sky, “Half a month!”
“Holy sh*t. That is unfair. I just asked you some questions, and you want to detain me for half a month. Where is your evidence?”
Seeing the woman head further away, Xu Xiaoshou cupped his mouth with his hands and shouted, “Don’t you want to enforce the law yourself?”
