Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Cross the Line of Wisdom Easily_1

Su Chengyu was captured and brought to the Dragon Soul Department for the second time, and was locked in an interrogation room. The last time it happened, Ye Qingci was there to help, but this time, Su Chengyu would have to handle everything himself.

Fang Qing arrived at the Dragon Soul Department, and Zeng Yifan took her directly to Stone Sword Edge’s office.

"Grand Marshal, Su Chengyu has been captured and is now in the interrogation room."

"Good, I know." Stone Sword Edge responded.

"Captain Fang Qing of the Linjiang Criminal Investigation Team is here for a meeting, I have brought her to the department." Zeng Yifan delivered another report.

Stone Sword Edge frowned and asked, "The daughter of Fang Zhenhai? What is she here for?"

"She was a witness on the scene, also a potential Si Master of our Dragon Soul Department, as well as the disciple of Cai Fist Gate, and the junior martial sister of Hua Zhantang and He Shou Xin. To convict Su Chengyu, we need her to provide witness testimony." Zeng Yifan explained.

Stone Sword Edge gave a slight nod, saying: "You make a good point. We do need solid evidence, and her presence may support it. This time, Su Chengyu will not get away scot-free. Let her in."

Zeng Yifan was very smart, knowing that if he said Fang Qing was here to plead for Su Chengyu, Stone Sword Edge would never agree to meet her.

Fang Qing was called in by Zeng Yifan. Stone Sword Edge turned to Zeng Yifan and ordered, "Yifan, you go interrogate Su Chengyu first. Murdering someone in public is a serious crime, be sure to question him thoroughly and strictly!"

As Zeng Yifan left Stone Sword Edge’s office, Stone Sword Edge put a welcoming smile on his face and said to Fang Qing, "Miss Fang, please have a seat."

"Thank you, Grand Marshal."

After sitting down, Fang Qing could not help but immediately start speaking: "Grand Marshal, about Su Chengyu..."

"Indeed, Su Chengyu’s case does need a witness, and you are the most appropriate person to provide testimony. As for your issue, Hua Zhantang has mentioned it to me a few times. The Dragon Soul Department has its own set of assessment rules. However, your presence to testify and help in capturing the murderer counts as a merit and can be promoted to an official Si Master of the Dragon Soul Department."

Stone Sword Edge crossed one leg over the other, smiling as he spoke.

"No, no, no, Grand Marshal misunderstands!"

Fang Qing quickly stood up and clarified, "This incident was entirely instigated by He Shou Xin, who was openly abducting a civilian woman on the street. Su Chengyu intervened to stop him. In the ensuing conflict, He Shou Xin threatened to kill Su Chengyu, but ended up getting killed instead. The Dragon Soul Department shouldn’t have arrested Su Chengyu, he is innocent!"

Upon hearing this, Stone Sword Edge’s face darkened, and he reprimanded sternly: "Captain Fang, do you know what you are saying?"

"Of course I do! I came here to testify for Su Chengyu. He is innocent, it was He Shou Xin who brought this upon himself and got what he deserved." Fang Qing bravely stated her piece.

"Nonsense! You are a disciple of the Cai Fist Gate, He Shou Xin is your martial brother, why are you siding with an outsider?" Stone Sword Edge accused.

"I always back the just cause, not personal relationships. There is a clear distinction between right and wrong in this matter. Su Chengyu is innocent. I hope Grand Marshal will release him and not wrong a good person."

Fang Qing spoke seriously.

"Since you’re not here to testify, you can leave." Stone Sword Edge grimaced.

"Grand Marshal, Su Chengyu is innocent, you can’t arrest him, this would be tantamount to corruption!" Fang Qing protested heatedly.

"Impudence! It’s not your place to teach me what to do, leave." Stone Sword Edge chided.

"Grand Mars..."

"Leave!"

Stone Sword Edge abruptly stood up, pointing harshly at the exit. A Grandmaster’s oppressive aura bore down on her. Fang Qing found it too strong to resist, clenched her teeth, and reluctantly left Stone Sword Edge’s office.

Su Chengyu was handcuffed in the interrogation room. Following Stone Sword Edge’s orders, Zeng Yifan began the questioning. Su Chengyu cooperated fully, recounting the entire incident in detail.

Stone Sword Edge entered the interrogation room and asked, "How did the questioning go?"

"Grand Marshal, based on Su Chengyu’s account, this entire incident was instigated by He Shou Xin. According to the laws of the Dragon Soul Department, we do not have to hold him accountable, and he can be released."

Zeng Yifan handed Stone Sword Edge the documented account, but he hardly glanced at it before tearing it up.

"These are all tricky arguments."

"We can bring in the other party involved, Liu Yan, as well as other witnesses to confirm whether he is lying!" Zeng Yifan said boldly.

Stone Sword Edge gave Zeng Yifan a cold glance and rebuked, "What are you saying? Zeng Yifan, dare you go against me?"

"I dare not! It’s just that we can’t falsely accuse him, we must seek the truth." Zeng Yifan insisted.

"The fact is that he committed a murder in public, that’s all. Regardless of the reasons, murder is murder! Even if He Shou Xin was wrong, he should have notified the Dragon Soul Department to handle it. What right did he have to kill?" Stone Sword Edge coldly stated.

"It seems that the Grand Marshal is intending to put me in a life-or-death situation, isn’t it?" Su Chengyu mocked.

"If you are willing to admit your crime, I will show mercy and spare your life. However, if you continue your stubborn resistance, I will let you experience the Dragon Soul Department’s method of interrogation."

Stone Sword Edge had made up his mind to kill off Su Chengyu, or at the very least, cripple his cultivation, turning him into a useless person.

The Dragon Soul Department was dealing with martial artists and cultivators, so its interrogation methods were different. When necessary, they would use torture.

After all, martial artists were not ordinary people; regular interrogation methods often proved ineffective.

"Tsk, tsk... It seems that your motivation to kill me isn’t entirely due to the relationship you have with the Cai Fist Gate? Even if you have a deep friendship with Cai Yi Gen, it doesn’t seem to warrant taking such risks."

Seeing Stone Sword Edge’s resolute attitude, Su Chengyu realized that there was more to this matter than it seemed.

"Naturally! Arresting you is both reasonable and fair. I am enforcing the law impartially, this has nothing to do with the Cai Fist Gate." Stone Sword Edge scoffed.

"Let me guess, if it’s not for the Cai Fist Gate, then it must be for your own sake! The last time, when you tried to frame me as a collaborator with the Demon People, you picked up a quarrel with me. You’re afraid that if I grow stronger, I will seek revenge, so you are trying to get rid of me. Tell me, Grand Marshal, am I correct?"

Su Chengyu’s words read Stone Sword Edge’s mind thoroughly, causing Stone Sword Edge to darken his face and approach Su Chengyu.

"You are indeed very smart, but people that are too smart rarely live long! I will not let you walk away from the Dragon Soul Department unscathed."

With that said, Stone Sword Edge left the interrogation room.

Seeing this, Zeng Yifan sighed. He cast a helpless glance at Su Chengyu. With things having escalated to this point, he, as a mere chief minister Ma, could do nothing to help.

"Brother Zeng, can you do me a favor?" Su Chengyu passed on a secret message.

Zeng Yifan was taken aback. Su Chengyu continued: "This is the Sound Transmission Spell, don’t be surprised."

Zeng Yifan still looked shocked. The Sound Transmission Spell was not a skill used by martial artists—it belonged to the cultivators. In that moment, Zeng Yifan understood: no wonder Su Chengyu had risen so quickly, he was a cultivator!

"Help me send a message to Hong Zhen Ting, telling him that if I die in the Dragon Soul Department, he will accompany me in death. Ask him to find a way to rescue me."
