Upon arriving at the residential complex where Tan Lingshan lived, they found her villa surrounded by onlookers, and police had cordoned off the area.
Such an incident in the community, especially with the death of the notorious Tan Jianjun, is certainly no small matter.
Although the investigation concluded it was a homicide and footage of the two individuals was found in the surveillance footage, no information was known about them; it was as if they had appeared out of thin air.
However, the investigators eventually discovered that the two men had stopped Liu Xiaoyuan and Murong Yuyan at the entrance of the residential area, which they considered a breakthrough.
Just then, someone noticed this and reported that they had seen Liu Xiaoyuan and Murong Yuyan arrive.
The investigators felt like they'd just gotten themselves sleepy, so they immediately had Liu Xiaoyuan and Murong Yuyan brought in.
As soon as he entered, Liu Xiaoyuan sensed something was off; it felt like he was being treated like a prisoner.
Moreover, once inside, they separated Murong Yuyan and Liu Xiaoyuan for separate interrogations.
"Your name is Liu Xiaoyuan, right?" the investigator asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "My name is Liu Xiaoyuan. May I ask you what you want to ask?"
The investigators said, "We saw you talking to the two murderers who killed Tan Jianjun at the gate today, and then you got into their car. Please explain to us what your relationship is with these two murderers?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I don't know these two people at all, so what relationship do you think we have?"
Liu Xiaoyuan knew that the investigators suspected him of also being involved in the murder of Tan Jianjun.
The investigators clearly did not believe Liu Xiaoyuan's answer. Their faces hardened, and they looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "Liu Xiaoyuan, I advise you to tell the truth. You know our policy: leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist!"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I'm just telling the truth. Do you expect me to lie? Okay, I have something to do, I'm leaving!"
The investigators were furious when they saw Liu Xiaoyuan's arrogance. "You, Liu Xiaoyuan, are so arrogant and lawless, aren't you?"
The investigator slammed his pen on the table, stood up, and said, "Liu Xiaoyuan, we now suspect you are involved in this murder case. Please come with us."
Liu Xiaoyuan turned around and glared at the guy. The coldness in his eyes scared the guy so much that he took a step back, tripped on the sofa, and fell backward.
Although Liu Xiaoyuan is only a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, leaving this place would be an easy task for him.
A chivalrous person uses martial arts to break the law, just like those two cultivators who killed Tan Jianjun. They didn't act stealthily at all; they just took action directly. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely have destroyed the surveillance cameras and sneaked in...
The reason these two cultivators were so arrogant was because they had the right to be arrogant. Even if they were discovered, so what? They could fly through the air and kill without lifting a finger.
This is their confidence, because after becoming cultivators, ordinary people are like ants in their eyes, and they can be easily dealt with.
The investigator got up from the ground, still shaken, because Liu Xiaoyuan's gaze had been terrifying; he had never seen such a frightening look before.
He used to not believe that eyes could kill, but now he does. If he stared at the young man in front of him for too long, he would be scared to death.
Liu Xiaoyuan swaggered away, and the investigators dared not utter a sound.
"Yuyan, let's go!" Seeing that Murong Yuyan was still being investigated by others, Liu Xiaoyuan grabbed Murong Yuyan's hand and was about to leave.
Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's audacity, the other party immediately questioned him about his intentions.
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately glared at the other party, scaring him into silence. As a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, once he released his aura, ordinary people simply couldn't withstand it.
Liu Xiaoyuan took Murong Yuyan's hand and walked to Tan Lingshan and her daughter, offering them a few words of comfort.
In such situations, it's best not to offer too many words of comfort, because nothing you say will help; time is the best healer.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Murong Yuyan stayed for a while before preparing to leave. Just then, the top investigator arrived and his subordinates immediately took Liu Xiaoyuan and Murong Yuyan into the car.
This was Tan Lingshan's home. Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want to do anything, so he let them drag him and Murong Yuyan into the car.
To be honest, Liu Xiaoyuan was furious. Damn it, you can ask me to cooperate with your investigation, but you can't treat me as a suspect for no reason.
Now, you've even dragged me into the car. What are you doing? Who gave you that right?
As soon as the car arrived at the building where the investigation was being conducted, Liu Xiaoyuan unlocked the handcuffs on his wrists, took out his Flying Cloud Sword, and slashed open the roof of the car with a single stroke.
The people inside the car were completely dumbfounded. Was this some kind of magic trick?
After cutting open the car roof, Liu Xiaoyuan pulled Murong Yuyan out of the car and then used his supernatural powers to unlock the handcuffs on Murong Yuyan's hands.
Although Murong Yuyan had seen Liu Xiaoyuan fly by before, this was the first time she had ever flown with him. The feeling was indescribable; it was so exhilarating.
The investigators now realized that Liu Xiaoyuan was no ordinary person, and their gazes towards him changed, turning fearful.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the group of people and said, "I've already said that I don't know those two at all. If you come looking for trouble again, this car will be your fate."
After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan pulled Murong Yuyan out.
Murong Yuyan was completely captivated by Liu Xiaoyuan's domineering presence. A man should be this domineering so that he can protect her and allow her to be a little woman, acting coquettishly in front of such a man.
Murong Yuyan stared at Liu Xiaoyuan with starry eyes the whole way, not even looking at where she was going. It was as if she was saying, "Liu Xiaoyuan, I want to have your babies."
When the investigators saw Liu Xiaoyuan's domineering attitude, they were speechless and stunned.
"Boss, are we just going to let that kid go like that?" one of the guys asked after Liu Xiaoyuan had walked away.
The leader glared at the guy and said irritably, "If you're so capable, why don't you go and bring him back?"
The guy who had just spoken shook his head vigorously, saying, "Boss, I don't have the guts, I wouldn't dare."
"If you're not brave enough, then shut up. This guy isn't an ordinary person. Keep this matter to yourself, you hear me?" The boss glanced at his men.
"We heard you." The people below nodded quickly.
