Even though he knew the three of them understood what had happened, Sun Xun still patiently explained to them the matter of Sun Ji's murder: "My son was brutally murdered. I hope that Lord Zu can help me find the murderer!"
Gao Ying and Pei You looked worried. The other party's son was dead, which was a big problem. But why was their elder brother involved?
Zuan replied calmly, "I will do my best."
"They're putting on quite a good act," Sun Xun sneered inwardly.
Anger points from Sun Xun: +444 +444 +444...
Not long after, a group of people arrived at a grove of trees. Sun Xun said with a sorrowful expression, "This is the scene where my son was murdered. I sent people to guard this place, and no one has touched it yet. I wonder if Lord Zu can find anything out."
As he spoke, he stared intently at Zuan, as if trying to see panic or guilt in the other's eyes.
The result greatly disappointed him. Zu An's eyes were very calm. He looked around at the terrain as if it were his first time here, and then looked at the corpses of Sun Ji and the others from left to right.
Sun Xun remained expressionless, staring intently at him, waiting to see what tricks he might pull.
After examining him for a while, Zu An asked, "Does your son have any enemies?"
Sun Xun replied, "My son has always been kind to others and has no enemies. If we really want to talk about enemies, he met a guest number 333 at Xiaoyao Tower today, and the two of us had a lot of conflicts."
"Oh? What is Xiaoyao Tower?" Zu An asked calmly.
Gao Ying and Pei You secretly admired him, thinking that he was indeed their elder brother, and his calm and steady mindset made them feel ashamed.
Sun Xun was secretly furious, but he still gave a general explanation.
Anger points from Sun Xun: +222 +222 +222...
Zuan asked a few more questions before answering, "Oh, based on what you just said, that number 333 didn't have time to commit the crime, so he should be innocent."
Sun Xun: "..."
Anger points from Sun Xun: +666 +666 +666...
Seeing his furious expression, Zu An almost burst out laughing: "Murder is either a revenge killing or a crime of passion. What Lord Sun just said can rule out these two, so it must be for profit. I heard you mention the Xiaoyao Tower incident earlier. It seems he bought something extremely valuable. Is that thing still around?"
"Of course not," Sun Xun said irritably.
"Then that's probably what they're after," Zu An concluded.
Sun Xun could hardly contain his anger: "Lord Zu, you've investigated for half a day and come to this conclusion? I've long admired your name, but to be honest, I'm quite disappointed today."
Zu An remained completely unperturbed: "What brilliant idea does Lord Sun have?"
Sun Xun snorted: "Although my son has not offended anyone in his daily life, as the prime minister of a country, I have to handle a lot of political affairs, and it is inevitable that I will offend some people and cause them to retaliate. They dare not come at me, so they come at my son. Among these people, those who dare to retaliate and have the ability to retaliate are probably only the people of the Demonic Sect."
"The Demonic Cult?" Zu'an was shocked, never expecting that they would be involved as well.
“That’s right,” Sun Xun said. “Over the years, I have assisted the prince in his campaigns against the Demonic Sect. I don’t know how much blood the Demonic Sect members have spilled on my hands. They hate me to the bone. If they want revenge, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.”
Zuan fell into deep thought. Why did the other party suddenly say that? Did they really believe that I wasn't the murderer?
