“There has to be a motive for killing.”

“Or do you think I’m the kind of pervert who likes to kill my friends for fun?” Without waiting for Dongfang Xiagui and the others to respond, Mo Xiao said self-deprecatingly, “If I really had such a fetish, then Dean Di Ruofeng, Prime Master Ling Feng, and even Ling Xiao would have died long ago.”

Sheng Lingfeng and Lin Jiansheng’s eyebrows twitched.

It seemed that they were both good friends of the Grand State Master.

When Dongfang Xiagui heard Mo Xiao’s words, he snorted and said, “Grand State Master, your words are simply unreasonable! We can’t produce conclusive evidence to prove that you’re the murderer of my great-grandfather, but at the same time, Grand State Master, you can’t completely clear your name.”

“Besides, before my great-grandfather passed away, he was already an intermediate-stage Prime Master. How many experts in the world can kill a Prime Master without anyone noticing? And that person’s name just happened to have the word ‘Mo’ in it!”

Mo Xiao retorted casually, “Does the murderer have to be alive? He might have died long ago.”

Dongfang Xiagui was speechless for a few seconds before saying in a muffled voice, “But I’ve already flipped through the list of experts who died in the past six hundred years. None of their names have the word ‘Mo’.”

Mo Xiao blinked and couldn’t be bothered to retort.

Seeing that Mo Xiao was unmoved and still had a calm reaction, Dongfang Xiagui was extremely angry. He couldn’t help but say with malice, “You and my great-grandfather were close and had traveled together several times. Who knows if there was some unknown feud between you two?”

“Isn’t there a saying that your most trusted friend is also your most difficult enemy to guard against?! My great-grandfather trusted you and treated you as a close friend. If you wanted to kill him, it would have been easy.”

Seeing that Dongfang Xiagui was getting more and more extreme, Sheng Lingfeng reminded Dongfang Xiagui at the right time, “Brother Dongfang, please be careful with your words. Currently, there is no clear evidence that the Grand State Master is the murderer. Please view this matter rationally. You shouldn’t accuse the Grand State Master.”

......

After a pause, Sheng Lingfeng said meaningfully, “If you interrogate a suspect as a criminal from the start, you’re not a qualified investigator. No one can judge a person’s guilt based on subjective assumptions. What matters is evidence.”

After Sheng Lingfeng said that, Dongfang Xiagui calmed down a little, but he still looked at Mo Xiao with hatred and hostility.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense.

No one said anything. Lin Jiansheng, who had outstanding hearing, could even clearly distinguish everyone’s heartbeat.

It was as if they had seen a ghost. Dongfang Xiagui and the other interrogators’ hearts were beating even faster than Mo Xiao’s.

“God Ling Xiao.” It was still Sheng Lingfeng who broke the silence.

Upon hearing Sheng Lingfeng call him, Lin Jiansheng nodded slightly and looked at Sheng Lingfeng. “President.”

Sheng Lingfeng nodded at Lin Jiansheng and asked, “Can you tell everyone all the details you know?”

“Alright.” Lin Jiansheng subconsciously reached out and stroked his naturally white short hair. Then, he pretended to recall something and said slowly, “The morning before yesterday, the administrative department of the Holy Spirit Academy received a call for help. The caller was a man called Gu Langfu.”

At this point, Lin Jiansheng stopped and specifically explained, “Everyone knows that with my current identity, ordinary people have no right to contact me. They won’t be able to get my private number.” His tone was a little smug.

Dongfang Xiagui and the others frowned. They couldn’t help but despise Lin Jiansheng for being a chatterbox and showing off.

However, as the only Purifying Spirit God on the Holy Spirit Continent, Lin Jiansheng was really a big shot.

Although Dongfang Xiagui and the others couldn’t stand Lin Jiansheng’s personality, they didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction.

Everyone held it in and only dared to complain inwardly.

Lin Jiansheng’s gaze swept across this group of people before he continued, “In his desperation, Gu Langfu could only contact me through the official phone number of the Holy Spirit Academy. Gu Langfu roughly explained the situation on the phone. The gist is that he is the boss of a tourism development company. They just bought the management rights of a mountain range for a hundred years from the government last year. That mountain is an active volcano and is suitable for development into a hot spring.”
