Chapter 89: I Just Can’t Find the Evidence
A smile appeared on Lin Jianhao’s face.
He was confident—last night must have left traces.
Qin Feng is dood.
“Inspector, no one really ca here last night…” Qin Feng pretended to argue desperately.
The more Qin Feng acted this way, the more pleased Lin Jianhao felt. He thought Qin Feng was scared.
“Rest assured, Qin Feng, as long as you are innocent, we will naturally ensure justice for you,” Wei Xun maintained a kind smile.
“But what if soone is deliberately framing ?”
Wei Xun glanced at Lin Jianhao before replying, “If soone is framing you, no matter who they are, they will be severely punished!”
Qin Feng smiled—this was exactly what he wanted to hear.
Lin Jianhao curled his lips, seemingly displeased.
Not long after, several staff mbers finished their investigation and returned to Wei Xun’s side.
“How is the situation?”
“My lord, we have searched all around and checked every room. There are no signs of a fight, nor any traces of blood…”
“W-What?!” Lin Jianhao was shocked.
“Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible! My uncle and fourth uncle were definitely here last night…”
Lin Jianhao began to panic.
“My lord, there must be so clues left behind! Please, investigate further!”
Wei Xun frowned. His impression of Lin Jianhao was worsening.
Qin Feng sneered, “Lin Jianhao, there are no traces—none. But you insist there are. You are trying to fra !”
“Inspector, you’ve seen it yourself. The truth is that Lin Jianhao is slandering . I hope you can judge fairly!”
Lin Jianhao was furious. “Brat, you must have erased all traces, or else this is impossible—”
As soon as he spoke, a staff mber beca displeased. “Councilman Lin, are you questioning our capabilities?”
“According to your statent, Lin Daoqian and Lin Fuhai should have been killed. If they were murdered, there would have been bloodstains.”
“Removing these bloodstains would leave evidence. But we’ve checked thoroughly—there are no signs of tampering, no attempts to cover up a cri…”
“This is impossible!” Lin Jianhao shook his head repeatedly. “There must be a way to kill without leaving bloodstains!”
The staff mber sneered. “There is a way! But that thod is impossible for Qin Feng to use. Even Zhou Changtong isn’t able to do it!”
“What thod?” Lin Jianhao grasped at the last straw.
The staff mber continued, “It’s simple! An Ice Elentalist can seal a victim’s blood vessels upon killing them, preventing any blood from spilling. But Qin Feng and Zhou Changtong are both Fire Elentalists—they can’t do this.”
“In fact, not just them—almost no one in Yunyang City can do it. Because Lin Daoqian was a peak-tier Three-Star expert, and Lin Fuhai was at the initial peak of Three-Star level.”
“To kill them soundlessly, at the very least, a Four-Star Ice Elentalist would be needed. But as far as I know, there is no Four-Star Ice Elentalist in Yunyang City…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianhao was stunned—he even started doubting himself.
Could it be that his uncle and fourth uncle really didn’t co last night?
But Tianyang clearly saw them set out!
Just then, another staff mber walked in, followed by several counts.
These counts all lived nearby.
“Greetings, City Lord! Greetings, Inspector!” The counts stepped forward to salute.
Wei Xun nodded slightly and asked, “Did you hear any sounds of fighting here last night?”
The counts exchanged glances and fell into deep thought.
After a mont, they all shook their heads.
“My lord, I didn’t hear any sounds of fighting last night.”
“Neither did I!”
Wei Xun nodded again.
Then, his expression turned cold as he looked at Lin Jianhao. “Lin Jianhao, what else do you have to say?”
Lin Jianhao’s face turned extrely ugly.
“My lord, I’m not lying! My uncle and fourth uncle really went missing, I…”
Wei Xun frowned. “Save your explanation for the judicial office—I don’t want to hear it!”
Lin Jianhao opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything for a long ti.
Wait! The Divine Ice Fruit!
Lin Jianhao hurriedly said, “My lord, the Divine Ice Fruit must still be on that brat! Take out the Divine Ice Leaf and test him!”
“You think I need you to tell how to do my job?!” Wei Xun retorted coldly.
His impression of Lin Jianhao had hit rock bottom.
Lin Jianhao was embarrassed and had no choice but to shut up.
At this mont, Wei Xun turned to Qin Feng and said kindly, “Young friend, if we have offended you, please forgive us.”
“I understand! My lord, please investigate as needed!”
“Good!” Wei Xun raised his hand, and a mystical leaf appeared above his palm.
The leaf was erald green like jade, surrounded by chilling mist, with a thin layer of frost covering it.
Under the sunlight, it reflected seven-colored light.
This was the Divine Ice Leaf.
Seeing the Divine Ice Leaf, Lin Jianhao beca excited.
As long as the Divine Ice Fruit was found on Qin Feng, he could turn the situation around.
Shangguan Yunyang and Wei Qing also grew tense.
They were truly worried sothing unexpected might happen.
If the Divine Ice Fruit was really found on Qin Feng, then this genius would be finished.
anwhile, Wei Xun began activating the Divine Ice Leaf.
He closed his eyes, pinched the leaf between his fingers, and injected Ice Elental energy into it.
A wave of strange energy rippled outward, spreading across a thousand-ter radius.
A few minutes later, Wei Xun opened his eyes and put away the Divine Ice Leaf.
“My lord, what’s the result?” Shangguan Yunyang asked anxiously.
“There is no Divine Ice Fruit here!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianhao trembled all over.
No Divine Ice Fruit?
How’s that possible?
Did that brat eat it?
But he’s a Fire Elentalist!
Could I have been wrong?
Lin Jianhao was dumbfounded—he even began doubting himself.
At this mont, he suddenly sensed that everyone’s gazes toward him were filled with disdain.
Clearly, they all believed he had falsely accused Qin Feng.
“Lin Jianhao, you’d better reflect on your actions!”
Wei Xun’s icy voice rang in his ears.
Lin Jianhao felt his heart sink.
Then, he quickly turned to Wei Xun. “Wait, my lord! There’s still one last thing to check. Please test his Fire Elental talent—there must be sothing wrong!”
“Hmph!” Wei Xun snorted coldly, then signaled to the staff nearby.
Soon, several staff mbers brought in a large testing device from outside the courtyard.
They had even brought a talent assessnt machine.
