However, Xiaoyao's thinking was idealistic, but reality didn't go as planned. When he had just taken a few steps, a group of people ca running from ahead, they all appeared to be constables.
When Xiaoyao thought these constables should go examine the scene rather than look at him, he discovered that these constables had completely surrounded him.
"Officers, what are you doing?" Xiaoyao asked in confusion.
"What are we doing. You killed people and still want to run, and you dare ask us what we're doing." one constable said.
"..." Xiaoyao was silent for a mont. This matter clearly had nothing to do with him, yet they imdiately accused him of doing it, leaving him speechless.
"What are you doing? Why are you surrounding him." At this mont, another constable ca over who appeared to be the leader of this group of constables.
Xiaoyao nodded, feeling this constable leader was more reasonable and had so brains, so he said, "Exactly, exactly. Quickly disperse and let pass. Why are you surrounding ."
The constable leader was stunned, then said, "Let you pass? Do you think we're just here for decoration. I'm telling them to arrest you. Don't misunderstand."
...
...
"..." Xiaoyao was silent. So it was the sa after all. He would have to find his own way to leave.
Knock them all down, then leave gracefully...
This wasn't realistic. Xiaoyao had already shown his face, so even if he escaped, he would be tracked down. That would only make people think he was fleeing from guilt. Although Xiaoyao didn't mind, there was no need to invite such trouble. After all, Xiaoyao's current purpose was to roam the martial world, and the purpose of roaming the martial world was to gain knowledge and experience, this also counted as one type.
Of course, Xiaoyao had limits to this. If the situation developed in ways he didn't want to see, he would leave directly. He had ways to leave, especially afterward when there wouldn't be so many people watching, making it easier.
However, before that, Xiaoyao could also do one thing, prove that he had nothing to do with this matter, and naturally he could clear himself.
"Don't make a move yet." Xiaoyao stopped the constables from advancing and said very calmly, "You didn't even ask questions before trying to arrest . Isn't this too hasty? I'm just a passerby."
"A passerby? All these people are dead, yet you're alive. Even if you're not the murderer, you're an accomplice," one constable said coldly.
"Oh, then according to what you're saying, there's more than one accomplice." Xiaoyao glanced at that constable, then said calmly.
"Who else? Quickly confess honestly, or you'll be sorry." the constable leader imdiately pressed.
Xiaoyao raised his hand, pointing at the constable leader, and said, "It's you all."
"Kid, are you looking for trouble?" The constables imdiately got angry. Xiaoyao was surrounded by them, yet he dared to point at their leader and speak nonsense.
"You're the ones looking for trouble. Didn't you say that since all these people are dead and I'm alive, I must be an accomplice? What about you all? Are you all dead?" Xiaoyao asked with a smile.
"Bullshit. We're all alive and well. You want to curse us? You really won't cry until you see the coffin." one person said viciously, and his words made it clear he didn't understand Xiaoyao's aning.
"Idiot. He ans that since we're not dead either, we're also accomplices." The constable leader knocked that person once.
Xiaoyao glanced at the constable leader, seeming to say, "At least you have so brains."
"How are we the sa? We're constables. We ca here after receiving a report." the constable who was hit said.
"I'm a passerby. I ca here while traveling." Xiaoyao also said.
"But it's also possible you're not, you're lying. You saw wealth and killed them out of greed. Don't try to use being a passerby as cover." that constable questioned Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Then you might also be lying. You're not here to investigate a case, you did this. Now you're just covering up. You also killed out of greed."
"What are you saying? How could we be that kind of people." the constable said.
"Why not? Looking at these corpses, they were killed no more than half an hour ago, yet you've already arrived with so many people. From this point, you're very suspicious." Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"..."
"We received a secret report saying soone was robbing and murdering a rchant caravan here, and it would be troubleso, telling us to prepare and bring enough n. Don't ask how we got this report, even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you, let alone that I don't know. Also, how do you know they only died half an hour ago?" The constable leader looked at Xiaoyao, his eyes narrowing to slits as if catching sothing.
"Right, how do you know? If you're just a passerby who just arrived here, how would you know the ti of their death? You know because these people were killed by you," the constable who was hit seed very happy, thinking he cleverly caught Xiaoyao's weakness.
"You don't have to see people being killed to know the ti. Don't you have coroners? I've studied dicine, I just need to look to know." Xiaoyao said. As a dical practitioner, this wasn't very difficult.
"So you've also studied dicine, very good. But this still doesn't clear you of suspicion," the constable leader said.
"I really don't want to call you stupid, but you keep trying to prove this point. Let ask you, how did they die? You should at least be able to see this." Xiaoyao said.
"They..." The constables hesitated sowhat, seeming uncertain.
"They were all killed with one strike. The opponent is definitely an expert. Do I look like one? Do I have a blade on ?" Xiaoyao asked.
"You could be hiding your abilities, and you could have thrown away the blade." one constable said.
"Fine. There's another point, let tell you. Although these people were all killed with one strike and died from the sa blade technique, more than one person killed them. No matter how skilled I am, I can't be in multiple places at once." Xiaoyao said, raising the most crucial point.
"What? More than one person? Impossible. How did you figure that out?" the constable leader said in surprise. He had just examined those people and couldn't tell at all that it was the work of multiple people.
"Although the blade technique is the sa, and they also tried hard to use the sa strength and thods, they're still not the sa person. Their speed and strength have subtle differences. If you get experts to examine it, you'll know." Xiaoyao said.
"Then how do you know?" the constable leader was very suspicious.
"What's so difficult about this? I've studied these things." Xiaoyao replied. How he studied and what he studied, he didn't say.
"Then do you know what this blade technique is?" the constable leader asked. With his knowledge, he completely didn't recognize this type of blade technique. This wasn't a question to test Xiaoyao.
"Five Tigers Gate-Breaking Blade, the Qin family's supre skill, a secret never passed down." Xiaoyao said.
"What?." The constable leader was startled. This answer was very unexpected and also made him feel a kind of fear, because he felt this matter had beco troubleso.
The Qin family was a great family, a very powerful family, one of the world's ten great clans. Although not the strongest, unable to compare with the Fang family or the Nangong family, making the constable leader wet himself with fear was a simple matter.
If this matter involved the Qin family, they didn't want to handle it anymore. Even if they knew it was the Qin family's doing, they wouldn't dare investigate, let alone when it was just suspicion, yes, just suspicion.
"It's also possible others learned it. Since you can tell, you must know it," the constable leader didn't want to place suspicion on the Qin family and wanted to arrest Xiaoyao to close the case.
"How ridiculous. I can tell, so I must know it? I can tell you're a man, does that an I can give birth to you?" Xiaoyao said.
"..."
"I know you're afraid of the Qin family, but let tell you, this matter might not be related to the Qin family. Although these people's thods were secretive, they also deliberately left traces to make people naturally think of the Qin family. It might be a fra-up." Xiaoyao said.
"So that's how it is. That's good then." the constable leader said, secretly relieved. As long as they didn't provoke the Qin family, it was fine. If others were framing them, this could be an opportunity to curry favor with the Qin family.
"But don't be happy too early, and don't think about currying favor. I advise you not to get involved in this matter," Xiaoyao said again, dampening the constable leader's good mood.
"Why?" the constable leader didn't understand.
"It's simple. We still can't be certain whether it was really the Qin family who did this. If it was, that's actually better. This way, although the Qin family is involved, the Qin family is being open about it. Killing these people and taking these goods wouldn't be a problem. If there are disputes, it's their own business and has nothing to do with you." Xiaoyao explained.
"What if it wasn't the Qin family?" the constable leader continued asking.
"Then it ans soone wants to fra the Qin family. What kind of person do you think could fra the Qin family?" Xiaoyao asked.
"What kind of person?" the constable leader didn't understand.
"It would definitely be soone on the sa level as the Qin family. Even if not similar in strength, the difference wouldn't be too great. Do you want to get involved in their conflicts?" Xiaoyao looked at the constable leader and asked.
"No, no. When immortals fight, us mortals should stay far away. Getting involved would be seeking death." the constable leader imdiately shook his head. Although his brain wasn't very bright, he knew how to preserve his own life, such dangerous matters should be avoided.
"If you don't want to die, then don't get involved." Xiaoyao said.
"Then we'll pack up and leave." the constable leader imdiately said, preparing to withdraw the team. But at this mont, Xiaoyao spoke up to stop them again.
