Chapter 901: A big law-abiding citizen, absolutely impossible to kill anyone

Chen Guanlou killed Liaochen, deeply hiding his merit and fame, and didn't tell anyone.

He was still worried that because of this, Wei Wubing would find trouble for him, and he remained vigilant. Others didn't know it was him who killed Liaochen, but Wei Wubing should be able to guess.

Perhaps he guessed it, but couldn't believe it.

He waited and waited, but didn't wait for Wei Wubing; instead, he waited for the Embroidered Uniform Guard leader, Xiao Jincheng.

Xiao Jincheng didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran to his house.

Chen Guanlou:...

"If I were staying in a brothel tonight, wouldn't you have come for nothing?"

"Not at all! If you were staying in a brothel, this official would naturally search the brothel, and in the end, it would be just the two of us talking in the brothel."

How shameless!

Chen Guanlou wiped his face. "Running to my house in the middle of the night, what do you want to do? Is there anything you can't say during the day? Could it be that you, Master Xiao, can't be seen during the day?"

"Whether I can be seen or not is not important. What's important is that you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, have committed the crime of murder and should be arrested!"

"Bullshit! You can't talk nonsense without evidence! As the saying goes, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Don't think that just because you rely on the identity of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, you can talk nonsense. I am a rare law-abiding citizen in the world today!"

Chen Guanlou shouted, scolded, and retorted!

How unreasonable!

How could he slander someone's innocence out of thin air!

He was a big law-abiding citizen!

Xiao Jincheng snorted coldly. "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is sure you want me to produce evidence? The head at Daxiang Temple, do you dare to say it has nothing to do with you?"

"What head, I don't understand what you're saying." Chen Guanlou was currently a classic case of knowing nothing, asking nothing, and knowing nothing. He focused on being a silly, sweet person who knew nothing.

"Things have come to this, why must Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen pretend to be stupid?" Xiao Jincheng played with the thumb ring in his hand. "Liaochen entered Nirvana; you and I know the reason clearly. Pretending to be stupid in front of this official, do you think it has any meaning? If I didn't have certain assurance, would I come to find you in the middle of the night? Since I found you, it is enough to prove that this matter is nailed down and does not allow anyone to question it!"

Chen Guanlou:...

He really had evidence?

That couldn't be!

Why say he killed Liaochen?

"Master Liaochen entered Nirvana, what does that have to do with me?"

"Why he entered Nirvana, don't tell me you don't know. The head placed on the offering table in the guest room, that was your doing, right."

"Ah, so Master Liaochen had his head cut off, Amitabha. You keep saying it was my doing, but is there a witness, is there physical evidence? Could it be that Master Liaochen entrusted a dream to you and told you personally that I killed him? Master Xiao, that trick of yours to bluff prisoners, don't even think about using it on me. At any rate, I have some business dealings with your Embroidered Uniform Guard, and I know a little bit about your background. We are brother units, why not be more sincere!"

Chen Guanlou made up his mind not to admit it, dead or alive.

At worst, they would just have a fight.

He didn't believe that Liaochen could really entrust a dream or manifest his spirit! A person full of evil, even heaven couldn't stand it and punished him; he didn't believe that after a person died, heaven would still stand on Liaochen's side and help Liaochen seek justice!

"I didn't say a word about Liaochen having his head cut off, but you seem to have known the details in advance. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, do you still want to deny it?"

"This is a classic case of framing. First you said Liaochen entered Nirvana, then you said the head on the offering table in the guest room; combining what you said before and after, anyone would associate that Liaochen might have had his head cut off. Master Xiao, we are half-colleagues, you use the means of dealing with prisoners on me, why bother?"

Chen Guanlou smiled but didn't smile.

Xiao Jincheng was expressionless. "Liaochen was beheaded, you don't seem surprised at all, clearly you knew the details long ago. I'll make a bold guess, you put the head there yourself, right."

"Nonsense! I am a decent, good citizen, framed and wronged by you, what do you want to do? Can't find the murderer, so you take me to make up the numbers! Master Xiao, oh Master Xiao, occasionally admitting your incompetence is not shameful! At least I definitely won't mock you."

Chen Guanlou was both angry and sincere!

His brain was spinning wildly.

That night, Wei Wubing must have discovered him, but didn't point it out on the spot. Xiao Jincheng, with his Eighth Rank cultivation, definitely didn't discover him. As for that group of City Gate Army, it was impossible for them to be Grandmaster cultivation, so there was no reason for them to discover him either.

In other words, as long as Wei Wubing didn't reveal a word, Xiao Jincheng would be kept in the dark and know nothing.

Since he knew nothing, why would he link Liaochen's death to him?

Therefore, he concluded that Wei Wubing must have revealed a bit of the wind, such as telling the Xiao surname that there was a Chen surname kid peeking that night.

Plus Liaochen died and had his head cut off.

So, as the only peeker that night, he became a suspect.

From this, it could be seen that Xiao Jincheng shouldn't be sure either; he was purely here to bluff him!

If he said one wrong word, it would be equivalent to confessing without being asked.

Absolutely not!

He must never let anyone know his true cultivation.

Especially that eunuch Wei Wubing!

Even if Liaochen was severely injured, he was still a Grandmaster. How could just anyone kill him, and with one blow, separating head from body!

As long as he bit down and didn't admit it, even Wei Wubing would have to mutter to himself.

After all, in the eyes of the world, he was only a Ninth Rank martial artist.

A Ninth Rank martial artist killing a Grandmaster across levels was completely challenging the cognition of martial artists; it was simply impossible. An injured Grandmaster, also impossible! A Grandmaster is a Grandmaster; regardless of whether he is injured or not, in short, no one can successfully challenge across levels.

This is like saying people must breathe air to live; it is an eternal, unbreakable truth!

Challenging a Grandmaster across levels is equivalent to challenging the truth of the martial arts world, overturning the martial arts system established over hundreds of years, and overturning the cognition that people have always firmly believed in!

It belongs to the heretical and evil theory that must be burned to death!

Xiao Jincheng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared fixedly at Chen Guanlou. He was pondering, guessing, weighing, evaluating...

"May I ask where you were the night before last?"

"Are you interrogating me?" Chen Guanlou looked angry, as if he had been slandered and trampled upon. "What right do you have to interrogate me, and for what case are you interrogating me? Is there a warrant, is there a document? Don't think that just because you are the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, you can interrogate personnel of the Ministry of Justice at will. Master Xiao, you have overstepped your boundaries!"

One sentence about overstepping boundaries set the nature of the matter.

If you want to interrogate me, fine, first file a case, sign the official document, notify the Ministry of Justice, and then come to interrogate me. Otherwise, I won't say a word.

Chen Guanlou put on an official attitude and didn't give the other party any face at all. Even if you are the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard or the Emperor's favorite official, without evidence, it's all bullshit!

If you want to force a confession through torture, you are welcome to try. Let's see who beats whom! Let's see who kills whom!

The most critical point is that the Embroidered Uniform Guard wouldn't dare to file a case for Monk Liaochen's death even if they had ten guts.

Claiming to the outside world that Liaochen entered Nirvana, rather than murder, had already set the nature of Liaochen's death.

Liaochen had a reputation outside, and was also a royal consort; the key was that his background was not clean. If the things he did in his early years were publicized, the 'truth, goodness, and beauty' created by the royal family would be instantly overturned, causing a serious blow to the reputation of the royal family.

This consequence could not be borne.

Even if it could be borne, there was no need to take this risk.

Therefore, Liaochen's cause of death would not be made public, nor would a case be filed; it could only be investigated privately. Sneaky, not acting like a human! ===== CHAPTER 902 =====

Therefore, the cause of Liao Chen's death will not be made public, nor will a case be filed; it can only be investigated privately. Sneaky and underhanded—not the way a person should act!
