Chapter 1269: Chapter 939, Princess Signs Contract_3

Lilith looked at Wu Heng, "Didn’t you say there was a ghost?"

"The ghost is the murderer who killed the female priest. During the battle, my ghost devoured it. We can only use Wenshi as evidence now." Wu Heng explained.

After careful consideration, he decided not to reveal the matter of the ghost.

The Zombie World is too important to him. Even if there wasn’t a corpse, he would still be falsely accused as the murderer.

This ghost cannot fall into the hands of outsiders.

Lilith glanced at him without any noticeable emotion and then said mildly, "Proceed with Wenshi, the investigator will record everything accurately."

"Yes!" The investigator immediately responded.

Wu Heng then directed his attention to the corpse and activated [Communicate with the dead].

Dense necromantic power enveloped the corpse; the next moment, the corpse suddenly sat up, its head partially hanging down, with murky eyes looking in this direction.

Seeing that Lilith had no intention of speaking, Wu Heng went directly to the point: "At the banquet at the City Lord’s Mansion in Netalee City, the female priest was killed by a ghost. Is this matter related to you?"

The corpse answered, "Yes!"

Wu Heng continued to ask, "What was the purpose of the ghost controlling the female priest’s corpse to attend the banquet?"

The corpse replied, "The mistress said she has a grudge against the hero Wu Heng. She intended to use this banquet to make the Holy Court kill him."

Mistress~!

This term isn’t used on this side; it’s more common in his world.

Those who were previously unclear about what happened stared with widened eyes.

Incrimination against the leader!

These people are really bold.

Xi Ligui quietly glanced at Wu Heng, then turned to the investigator, seriously confirming, "Got it down?"

"Got it," the investigator nodded.

Wu Heng proceeded with another question, "When did the female priest die?"

The corpse replied, "Three days before the banquet."

At this point, it’s already clear that he has been framed.

For the fourth question, Wu Heng asked, "During these days, was the ghost continuously controlling this body?"

"No, the ghost only thought of this priest when it learned about the banquet," the corpse responded.

Wu Heng frowned.

Some parts of this story don’t add up.

But since it’s not closely related to his own situation, he turned to Lilith, "Leader, there is one last question left."

Lilith said, "Ask if anyone else was involved in this matter."

Wu Heng directly asked, "Were there others involved in the defamation at the banquet?"

The corpse replied, "No one else."

With five questions finished, the corpse fell back onto the iron bed with a ’bang’.

The investigators continued recording.

Lilith then said, "Gather all the records tonight and send them directly to headquarters tomorrow morning, along with this corpse."

"Yes!" Xi Ligui nodded.

Lilith turned to leave directly, Wu Heng gave a signal to the Elf Sisters and followed Lilith.

...

Leaving the autopsy room area.

"Leader, I know the Teleportation Technique, let’s go back together," Wu Heng caught up.

Lilith glared at him reproachfully, "Next time don’t run away like that..."

"This time it’s really not my fault," Wu Heng followed beside her with a bitter smile.

"You’re an adult, always causing trouble wherever you go," Lilith scolded and then added, "Let’s wait until the report is compiled and see the Holy Court’s stance. The headquarters’ mediation of your issues hasn’t been smooth anyway."

"I didn’t kill anyone, why should I care about their attitude?" Wu Heng said, frustrated.

Lilith glared at him fiercely again.

Wu Heng continued, "Leader, there are still some problems revealed in the Wenshi process just now."

"What problems?" Lilith asked while walking.

"On that side, there is a priest named Nasir. He was the one who brought the female priest to the banquet. After the incident, I asked him about the female priest; he concealed the fact that she had disappeared a few days earlier."
