Chapter 242: Chapter 242: The Ancestral Sage Is Not a Human Witness

"Abbot, I’ve brought the person and the thing you asked for," Officer Cui said after performing a respectful salutation, handing a transparent bottle to Jiangli. It contained a small amount of pale golden liquid. "Please keep it safe, Abbot."

"Thank you, Old Cui. I’ll treat you to a drink later," Jiangli took it directly and put it into her pocket, quite informally.

Officer Cui repeatedly declined, "That won’t be necessary. You’re busy with important matters, I’ll just wait here and take Qiang Hongtao away later."

"Alright."

Jiangli felt that was fine, saving her the need to summon spirits later on.

She gave Qiang Hongtao a meaningful glance, "Follow me."

Qiang Hongtao was tense, clearly seething with anger as he followed Jiangli.

Jiangli walked up to Song Taishan and Xia Xin, saying, "Let’s go, we’ll deal with Shi Dahai first."

Song Taishan’s eyes were filled with doubtful glints.

Seeing him staring at Jiangli, Xia Xin grabbed him and whispered while they walked outside, "Captain Song, you can trust our Abbot with this kind of thing, there definitely won’t be any problems."

That’s what was said.

Song Taishan also knew that Jiangli must have some real skills, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to detect his issue previously.

But, could this kind of thing really be the same as having Qiang Hongtao come to force a confession?

Song Taishan was a hundred percent uneasy.

At that moment...

Jiangli had already started walking outside with Qiang Hongtao, seemingly unconcerned about his opinion.

Song Taishan gritted his teeth; now he could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive, tensely leading them to the interrogation room where Shi Dahai was being temporarily held.

At the interrogation room’s entrance, Jiangli pointed to the person inside and asked Qiang Hongtao, "Take a look, it’s him, right?"

To Song Taishan, it looked as if she was talking to the air.

Song Taishan quickly glanced around, thankfully there was no one nearby at the time, otherwise, seeing this, they would think Jiangli was crazy.

Although he also thought Jiangli was a bit mad...

"Yes, that’s him! I remember his face!"

Qiang Hongtao’s eyes reddened upon seeing his enemy; even if the man turned to ash, he would recognize him!

Confirming that Shi Dahai was the murderer who killed him, he almost pounced without thinking.

Jiangli grabbed him, clicking her tongue, "Hey hey hey, what’s the rush? We need to set the stage for this kind of thing."

Qiang Hongtao paused, "...Set the stage?"

Jiangli chuckled, turning to Song Taishan behind her with a smiling face, "Captain Song, I came here to identify the criminal, right? So I should be allowed to go in and have a word with him, shouldn’t I?"

Song Taishan felt as if not even two brains would be sufficient for him right now.

Wasn’t it decided that Qiang Hongtao would do the interrogation himself?

Now why did she want to identify the criminal?

If she wanted to identify him, what was she doing all this half-day?

Song Taishan was full of silent criticism, but looking at Jiangli’s smiling face, he always felt a thumping in his heart—it didn’t seem right.

He pressed his lips together, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Alright, then Abbot, please come with me."

Jiangli, with her arms crossed, followed Song Taishan with a grin.

At the same time, she gestured for Qiang Hongtao to keep up.

To an onlooker, this scene would resemble an innocent and naive girl, completely unaware of where she was, with only a foolish smile on her face.

Song Taishan glanced at her, his heart filled with worry, and he pushed open the door with great reluctance.

It was as if he mustered all his courage to open the door of the interrogation room.

The instant the door opened, Song Taishan immediately straightened up.

"Shi Dahai, the witness is here."

At the sound of the door opening, Shi Dahai had already looked up, a trace of unease emerging in his eyes.

However.

When he saw the person entering was a young girl he had never met, a strange smile immediately spread across his face.

He was certain that this girl was not any witness.
