Chapter 2027: Still Suspicious
However, in the surveillance footage, Jing Yunyao's face was not clear, so they did not recognize that it was Jing Yunyao. Moreover, for them, Jing Yunyao was already dead, so they did not even think that it was Jing Yunyao.
Moreover, cultivators who often hang out in the secular world, who doesn’t have many friends? So it’s normal for cultivators to have contact with mortals.
But! It just so happened that Jing Jining and Yin Shixun had seen this woman before they met, so they were also suspicious of this woman that Jing Jining had met first, wondering if it was related to Yin Shixun's matter.
Of course, this is just one of the possibilities they analyzed, and it does not mean that they have seriously suspected Jing Yunyao.
Because they were not sure that Yin Shixun died on the day he met Jing Jining, and they all knew that Jing Jining's cultivation was not as good as Yin Shixun's, they did not doubt whether Jing Jining was related to Yin Shixun's death, even though they all knew that Jing Jining and Yin Shixun had always been at odds.
But since they had seen it, they had some doubts, so they had to call him to ask.
Although Jing Jining knew that the Tiandao Sect might investigate him, after he dealt with what needed to be dealt with, he still returned to the world of cultivation, because if he just ran away, wouldn't that be a sign of guilt?
Jing Jining was not surprised to be approached by the Tiandao Sect, but he felt a little nervous and uneasy because he didn't know what the Tiandao Sect had investigated.
But no matter what, he had to face it. In order not to reveal his true colors, Jing Jining had to suppress the nervousness and uneasiness he felt inside, and not show the slightest bit of guilt on the surface.
Jing Jining followed the people from Tiandao Sect to Tiandao Sect. The person in charge of investigating this matter was Xi Baichuan, the elder of the Tiandao Sect's Law Enforcement Hall.
Xi Baichuan is about sixty years old. Of course, that's just how he looks. With his high level of cultivation, he must be at least a few hundred years old.
The person from the Yin family who came to listen was Yin Shiyi.
Because this time we were just questioning Jing Jining and not interrogating him, we didn't make it too formal. We didn't go to the Law Enforcement Hall, we just asked in the lounge.
After all, they had no evidence to prove that Yin Shixun's death was related to Jing Jining. If the interrogation was too formal, it would be bad for Jing Jining's reputation if it got out.
"Jing Jining, when we were investigating Yin Shixun's death, we discovered that you had met Yin Shixun before the accident." Xi Baichuan asked.
"That's right," Jing Jining readily admitted that he had met Yin Shixun before the accident. After all, the other party had already investigated it. If he didn't admit it, wouldn't that be trying to cover up the truth? Moreover, it was obviously telling the other party that there was something wrong with him! However, Jing Jining felt that they could not find evidence of what happened afterwards, so wasn't it up to him to decide what happened afterwards? Jing Jining continued, "I did meet Yin Shixun, and we had a conflict and even a fight, but you also know that my cultivation is not as good as Yin Shixun's, so I couldn't beat Yin Shixun at all. After he injured me, he left. I don't know what happened afterwards. It was only a few days ago that I heard about the accident of Yin Shixun. I was also very surprised."
Everyone knew that Jing Jining could not beat Yin Shixun, so they thought Jing Jining's answer was reasonable, but they did not believe it just because of this answer.
"You said Yin Shixun beat you up and then left, but we can also suspect that Yin Shixun did not beat you up and then left, but you had an helper who killed Yin Shixun!" Yin Shiyi put forward the hypothesis and kept paying attention to Jing Jining's reaction.
However, the hypothesis proposed by Yin Shiyi hit the nail on the head, which made Jing Jining's heart skip a beat. Did they find out something? Regardless of whether it was true or not, Jing Jining could not admit it, and tried not to show his guilt, but he did not act too calmly.
Because it's not normal to be too indifferent. After all, no one can be indifferent when being suspected.
So, Jing Jining frowned and looked displeased, feeling unhappy because of being suspected.
"You may doubt me like this, but why should I kill Yin Shixun? What benefit will I get from killing him? Moreover, with Yin Shixun's cultivation level, the helper I want must be a cultivator with higher cultivation level than me. Then who do you think would be willing to cooperate with me since I have rarely appeared in the cultivation world for so many years?" Jing Jining asked back, his tone carrying a hint of anger of being suspected.
What Jing Jining said was what everyone thought of. They mainly wanted to see Jing Jining's reaction, whether he was guilty or angry.
Jing Jining's reaction now is very normal. If it is not true, then it is just that Jing Jining is pretending too much.
However, in front of Xi Baichuan, they felt that what Jing Jining said was true.
Of course, it only made the already small suspicion a little smaller, not completely gone.
"So who was the woman you met before you met Yin Shixun?" Xi Baichuan asked.
Hearing this, Jing Jining was stunned and his heart skipped a beat. Have they discovered Jing Yunyao?
But he soon felt that it was impossible. If they knew that it was Jing Yunyao, they would not be so calm. They should just suspect that the woman might be his helper.
Jing Jining realized that he might have aroused suspicion from the other party because of his momentary shock, so he immediately said in surprise: "What? You even doubt a mortal? I have been doing business in the secular world for so many years, isn't it normal for me to have friends outside? It's normal to talk about business and have a meal!"
When they first saw Jing Jining stunned when he heard the woman being asked, they did have some doubts, but after Jing Jining said this, they no longer felt that there was anything wrong with Jing Jining's reaction.
"We don't actually have any other intentions, nor do we suspect you. We just found out that Yin Shixun met you before the accident, so we just asked." Xi Baichuan said. Although he didn't have serious doubts, he still had doubts. He just said this in the hope of easing Jing Jining's displeasure.
"I know, but who made me meet Yin Shixun?" Jing Jining said as if he didn't mind, but his expression revealed a bit of sarcasm, showing that he knew they were suspecting him, and such behavior also gave people the feeling that he was being wronged.
"By the way, I discovered something in the secular world. There are foreign people with extraordinary powers. They seem to have come from abroad and committed some crimes in the United Kingdom of Dipu and Dongxia." Jing Jining said. He felt it necessary to tell the Tiandao Sect and also wanted to use this to distract their suspicion of himself.
