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

Four people died.

Their arms were crushed.

These things were very consistent with those he had attacked.

But he hadn't killed anyone, nor had he chopped off their heads.

This was to avoid alarming the Law Enforcement Hall.

Even if it did, it wouldn't be a big deal.

If it were outside the sect, he would have already taken action, and the Law Enforcement Hall would most likely have dealt with it perfunctorily.

But within the sect, the probability of a perfunctory handling was low.

Therefore, not gambling on probabilities was the safest course of action.

Sure enough, their deaths were a big deal.

But he hadn't killed them, yet he was involved.

Although he hadn't asked who specifically had died, the teahouse incident and Bai Qing's arrest pointed to the obvious.

There was basically no need to ask.

And the suspects would be secretly questioned?

"Is this information reliable?" Gu An asked.

"Reliable. I know a fellow villager who is in the Law Enforcement Hall, and she told me," Yang Qi said confidently, then added:

"Moreover, the main suspect has already been caught, and there are also some minor suspects. It is said that a certain senior brother will personally visit."

"The main suspect?" Gu An asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's a junior sister from the Iron Heart Wood Management Office, named Bai Qing," Yang Qi said.

"I know her. Qi Refining ninth level. Were the dead all at the Qi Refining stage?" Gu An asked.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, almost blurting out that Junior Sister Bai Qing couldn't have killed those four people.

"I don't know about that. I heard that she had a conflict with those four at the teahouse, and the four of them died that day, while her management office had fifty more spirit stones.

If she didn't kill them, who else could it be?" Yang Qi said.

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

"If you were the killer, would you put the spirit stones in the management office?

"That's her brilliance, making people suspect due to too many flaws, and then hiding her true actions," Yang Qi said seriously:

"This seemingly full of loopholes appearance is deliberately put on by her.

In reality, she is a very scheming person."

Gu An:

...

If he hadn't personally placed those fifty spirit stones, he might have actually thought that was possible.

However, the people in the Law Enforcement Hall would never think it was Bai Qing.

Because she didn't have the strength to do so.

Yang Qi stayed for a while longer before leaving.

He said he was going to find that fellow villager to inquire about information.

Gu An didn't stop him.

He was just a little concerned about this matter.

Would he be investigated?

Logically speaking, it was unlikely.

After dark.

Gu An walked towards his residence along the moonlight.

Fortunately, he hadn't taken any symbolic items, or he would have had to hide them.

But there were still some unsavory things inside.

With a sigh, he separated a storage treasure and put the things inside.

He hid it in the Thousand Peak River.

That would be safe.

Once he was suspected, or even arrested, there was a certain possibility that he would have to hand over everything on him.

That would be a huge trouble.

Back at his residence.

Gu An didn't see noodles.

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

Afterwards, he planned to return to his room to cultivate.

It had been very noisy outside recently, and he didn't dare to wander around.

But just as he turned around, a figure landed on a tree branch under the moonlight.

The moment he appeared, his gaze was cast over.

Gu An noticed it immediately, but didn't dare to move rashly.

The substantial pressure made him tremble with fear.

So strong.

At the same time, this figure took out a token from his waist and displayed it.

The word "Law" on it was exceptionally eye-catching.

"Law Enforcement Hall business."

Gu An's mind shook. People from the Law Enforcement Hall had come to his door.

Not daring to think too much, he could only respectfully salute.

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

For a moment, immense pressure roared down, making it somewhat unbearable for Gu An.

He could only use body techniques to resist.

At this time, the person's eyes narrowed slightly.

"You just joined the inner sect, I advise you to be more peaceful, you won't be so lucky next time."

Then the figure soared into the air and quickly left:

"You didn't kill these people this time, so I won't arrest you, but there won't be a next time."

Afterwards, something flew from the air.

Bang!

It was like a disc embedded in the tree.

Gu An was somewhat puzzled and looked over.

It was a mask.

Black and white connected.

This was the same style mask as his.

"Was I exposed when buying the mask?"

Gu An sighed in his heart.

He still underestimated the potential danger.

Even with various precautions, he couldn't avoid their inexplicable deaths.

In addition, the people of the Law Enforcement Hall were so dangerous when they were serious.

This time, he really didn't kill the people himself, so there wasn't a big problem.

But injuring the other party was also a certain crime.

But for some reason, the other party didn't investigate further.

Looking at the place where the other party disappeared, Gu An sighed with emotion: "No wonder many people know that there is an eighty percent chance that nothing will happen, but they don't dare to bet on a probability. If they encounter such a person, how can they escape?

Their strength is not as strong as the other party, and their background is not as strong as the other party.

The other party holds the sect's treasured sword and has the right to monitor the entire sect.

If a major conflict occurs, they even have the special privilege to execute first and report later."

"Although I don't know what's going on, it seems like I escaped a disaster," Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.

However, weakness only means being at the mercy of others, and he must become stronger as soon as possible.

In addition, he was also very curious about how those four people died.

The next day.

Yang Qi came again.

"The case is solved!" Yang Qi ran into the Spirit Treasure One Depot with an excited face and said:

"Senior brother, the case is solved, the murderer has been found, and the reason has also been found."

Hearing this, Gu An became interested: "What's going on?"

"The murderer is a Foundation Establishment middle stage cultivator, and it is said that he has defected," Yang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"This murderer is called Wang Wen. It is said that he looked for those four people to find someone.

When collecting spirit stones, they were not soft-hearted at all.

In one year, they collected five hundred spirit stones from him.

Five hundred spirit stones, ah, it is said that they were the spirit stones he earned by risking his life, even giving up an arm.

Just to find his relatives.

However, after a year, those four people said that some transactions were successful and some were unsuccessful. This time, his transaction failed.

So, not to mention finding someone, they wouldn't return a single penny.

He naturally didn't agree.

Saying that they should at least return half of the spirit stones.

However, they were still rejected, saying that the other party gave them voluntarily, so there was no reason to return them.

This Wang Wen was furious and attacked them.

But how could he be a match for four people?

His other hand was also broken, and they even laughed and told Wang Wen that they hadn't gone to find anyone at all that year.

They had been using his spirit stones to drink wine.

Wang Wen was so angry that his spiritual energy reversed, almost crippling him.

It took him a year to recover a little, but his cultivation was difficult to improve.

And these four people were still living freely.

Then the twist came. Some time ago, the four used the same method to deceive the Iron Heart Wood manager, and then the conflict arose in the teahouse.

Since the four dared to do it, it showed that they were not afraid of the other party.

Sure enough, that manager was severely injured and humiliated.

But it may be that they went too far, or that the Iron Heart Wood manager had someone behind him.

That afternoon, the four had their arms crushed by unknown people and were even severely injured.

After being severely injured, they seemed to want to find the Law Enforcement Hall to seek justice for them.

They even wanted to keep the injuries and go over.

And coincidentally, they met Wang Wen on the road.

Enemies meeting were especially jealous. When Wang Wen saw that they were all seriously injured, anger arose in his heart, and evil grew in his guts, directly erupting and killing people.

Finally, he killed all four of them.

In the end, he betrayed the sect and fled."
