The drunk man looked terrified and nodded hurriedly.

Ying Chengshi slightly retracted his hand and let it go. The drunkard quickly said:

"Please spare my life, spare my life, I will tell you everything, as long as you don't kill me, I will tell you everything!

I did come here for that thing, but I don’t know where it is!”

That thing!

Cheng Shi's eyes flashed, and he uttered two words: "God's gift."

“Yes, it is God’s gift!”

"Have you seen the God's Gift? What is it?"

"No!" The drunk shook his head faster than a rattle. "I just saw Candelt kill Kirshner in order to steal the God's Gift. I..."

“Wait! Who?

Candelt killed Kirshner?"

Cheng Shi was stunned. "Weren't the people who killed Kirshner a group of jealous Redicoll citizens?"

“Yes, that’s true, but those people were originally hired by Candelt!

He bought some emotion-controlling drugs on the black market and used them on those people. Then, while those unlucky guys were losing their minds, he secretly controlled Kirshner and let those people stab Kirshner's throat with a dagger.

So he is the one who started it all!"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi suddenly realized, "So the person who killed Candelt and impersonated him... was you!?"

The drunk's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes widened, and he blurted out: "No!"

But he quickly gave in under Cheng Shi's gaze and said dejectedly:

“It’s me…

I didn't intend to kill him, I just wanted to witness the gift from God, but he didn't even give me a chance and even threatened to convict me of blasphemy. I was forced to do it."

Cheng Shi had never expected that he had actually caught a big fish while waiting unintentionally. He said with great interest:

"Go ahead, tell me the whole story from beginning to end.

If you haven't lied, I might consider letting you go."

Under the threat of death, the drunkard dared not hide anything and told Cheng Shi everything he had experienced.

The drunk was called Max, a black market merchant who roamed the underground of several cities. Candelt bought the potion from him.

"[Foolish] believers rarely buy medicine from me; my customers are usually non-devout multi-believers.

So when I recognized that the person I was secretly dealing with was Kandelt from the Forbidden House of Fools, I set my sights on him.

I know that when they embrace folly at the risk of their lives, there must be huge interests involved.

I was very interested in the benefits, so I was secretly following him.

Until one day, he used the potion he bought from me to pollute the minds of several citizens, causing them to kill Kirshner in a state of confusion... I knew that my bet was right, and I had mastered the biggest secret of this town!

After witnessing this scene, I hesitated for a long time whether to use this as a threat to get some treasure from the other party, but curiosity finally got the upper hand. I wanted to know why a deputy of the Forbidden City wanted to kill his boss.

Fighting for fame and fortune is no secret, but [foolish] believers rarely use such unconvincing methods to prove themselves. You should know that they have lofty ambitions and cannot accept embracing foolishness.

So the night Kirshner died, I broke into Kandert's house and saw Kirshner's body and the report on the table.

It was then that I learned that the statue could speak in his sleep, and Kirshner's investigation also yielded results. One night, the statue bestowed Kirshner with a divine gift!

It was because of that divine gift that Candelt killed Kirshner. He wanted to keep the divine gift for himself!

I was so shocked that I made some noise and Candelt noticed me, but since I was not a local and had no direct conflict of interest with him, I was not panicked.

I just wanted to take a look at what the divine gift was, but Candelt repeatedly rejected me and even wanted to kill me. I had no choice but to fight back.

I killed him, but I couldn't find the divine gift.

So I thought about playing the role of Candelt and retracing his life trajectory, maybe I could find out where he hid that thing.

But on my first day in office, I discovered that someone had unearthed Candelt's body...

That person should be you, right?"

“…”

Pretty smart.

But...the divine gift disappeared?

Cheng Shi's face turned dark. He didn't expect that he had done such a stupid thing.

He originally thought that the person who killed Candelt was the mastermind behind the scenes who knew the whole situation, but he didn't expect that the murderer was also forced to do it and knew nothing about anything.

If he had known this earlier, he should have asked where the divine gift of Candelt's body was hidden. Now, the only chance to ask has been wasted.

Alas, if only the Dragon King were here too, at least the believers of [Memory] would still have a way.

There was indeed a [Memory] believer in the trial, but unfortunately he was killed by me. Even if he hadn't died, with his expression, he probably wouldn't cooperate with me.

Cheng Shi frowned and asked again, "Did you tear up Kirshner's report?"

Max was stunned and immediately shook his head:

"No, I deliberately put it in the most conspicuous place, hoping that people close to Candelt would find it, so that I could observe their reactions and find new clues.

But everyone respected him, and no one did anything foolish.”

Not him?

Cheng Shi was also stunned. He was wondering if there was a fourth person involved in this matter?
