Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 71 – Interrogation at the Law Enforcement Hall

Robert Zhou entered through a side door and led Ghost Guest to a hall before leaving. Inside the hall were two chairs, one placed below the hall and the other backed against a high wall.

This setup looked like an interrogation.

Ghost Guest sat down boldly, quietly watching the empty chair above, his expression unchanged.

At this point, panic was useless. He would see how the Law Enforcement Hall intended to handle him.

"Junior Brother, you have quite the composure." A gloomy voice suddenly came from behind the wall. A young man with sunken cheeks walked out from behind the wall, slowly sat in the chair, and gave Ghost Guest a sinister smile, "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Xie Ding'an, a Steward of the Law Enforcement Hall, at the seventh level of Qi Refinement."

"Is Senior Brother telling me this to persuade me not to resist?" Ghost Guest asked calmly.

Xie Ding'an nodded slightly, "Exactly."

"I still don't understand why Senior Brother called me here," Ghost Guest's expression remained calm.

"Before you came, Robert Zhou must have already told you. I don't need to repeat it," Xie Ding'an sat above, resting his chin on his hand, scrutinizing Ghost Guest, "At this point, are you still going to deny it?"

Ghost Guest said indifferently, "I don't understand what Senior Brother is talking about. If I've done something wrong, please present the evidence."

"Evidence, you'll see it." Xie Ding'an paused, lightly tapping the table with his fingers, "But since you are Master's personal disciple, I don't want to push things too far. If you confess voluntarily, I won't sentence you to death, just some minor punishment. If I present the evidence, there will be no room for negotiation. The difference is significant. Think it over carefully. No rush, take your time. I have plenty of it."

Suddenly, a Restriction emerged from the chair Ghost Guest was sitting on, binding him to it.

"Alright, if Senior Brother believes I'm guilty, show me the evidence," Ghost Guest's lips curled up, and he looked at Xie Ding'an calmly, saying no more.

Xie Ding'an frowned, then his expression returned to normal. He stared sternly at Ghost Guest, his fingers continuously tapping the table.

Time passed slowly. Xie Ding'an tried to break Ghost Guest's psychological defense with his gaze, but Ghost Guest remained silent and motionless from beginning to end.

After a long while, Xie Ding'an stopped tapping and stared closely at Ghost Guest, "What makes you so sure I don't have evidence?"

"If Senior Brother had evidence, you wouldn't be wasting words with me," Ghost Guest smiled slightly, then changed his tone, "But even if you have evidence, I don't think Senior Brother would punish me. Yes, I killed Juan Zeng and paid five hundred Spirit Stones. If you want evidence, I'll give it to you."

"So, you're confessing?"

"If Senior Brother answers one question, I might consider confessing."

"What question?"

"What does the Law Enforcement Hall do at night?"

Hearing this, Xie Ding'an's eyes instantly turned sharp, undisguised killing intent in his gaze, "Who told you this, Douglas Situ?"

Ghost Guest shook his head with a smile, "It's not hard to guess. The Law Enforcement Hall supervises disciples, but there's a force that can hire assassins. The Law Enforcement Hall only manages the day; those who die at night are considered to have died in vain. I bought Juan Zeng's life, and the Spirit Stones were sent to the Mountain Lord through a special channel. To know my identity and collaborate with all the Mountain Lords, such a force covering all disciples is rare. Senior Brother just mentioned Senior Brother Douglas, which further confirmed my guess."

The so-called special assassination organization was actually the Law Enforcement Hall. They forbade killing during the day but traded lives at night.

This wasn't told to him by Douglas Situ; he figured it out himself.

Xie Ding'an couldn't help but applaud, "You're very clever, even more than I thought. But whether it's day or night, this is the Law Enforcement Hall. If I say you're guilty, you're guilty."

Ghost Guest laughed, "I only killed Juan Zeng. Countless disciples have died at the hands of the Law Enforcement Hall. If we're talking about guilt, all the Senior Brothers in the Law Enforcement Hall should commit suicide. Besides, I don't believe Senior Brother will kill me."

"Why?" Xie Ding'an raised an eyebrow.

Ghost Guest smiled at Xie Ding'an and slowly said two words, "The rules."

Xie Ding'an suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes full of mockery and sarcasm, "Since you know everything, why still hope to talk about rules with me? We stop killing during the day and kill at night, with no rules to speak of."

Ghost Guest shook his head seriously, "No, in my opinion, the Law Enforcement Hall is the most rule-abiding. Master forbids killing, but cultivators must compete. This led to the Law Enforcement Hall developing a rule, a rule tacitly approved by Master. Every night, cultivators die, and no one investigates those who die at night. If the Law Enforcement Hall breaks this rule, the derived rule will be shattered. Not to mention whether Master will spare you, the cultivators who hire assassins through you won't let you go. You will be attacked until you're destroyed. With your seventh level of Qi Refinement, it's overkill to deal with me. Why not tell me who wants my life? If you don't tell me the employer, at least tell me how much they paid. I'll pay double."

"You are quite wealthy. I almost forgot, you're a pill refiner and the champion of this Medicine Gate competition. A pill refiner like you surely doesn't lack Spirit Stones, no wonder you speak so confidently." Xie Ding'an crossed his arms and looked at Ghost Guest indifferently, making it hard to tell if he was praising or mocking.

Ghost Guest didn't speak, just lightly tapped the armrest of his chair, mimicking Xie Ding'an earlier, as if the roles had reversed and he was now the one in control.

After a moment of silence, Xie Ding'an slowly said, "Since you're so smart, why not guess who wants to take action against you?"

Ghost Guest laughed, "If I were truly smart, I wouldn't be unable to guess why Senior Brother went to such lengths to bring me here. I don't want to know who sent you; it has no meaning. The Law Enforcement Hall's nighttime activities are secretive, and you can't break the rules."

"Very well." Xie Ding'an turned and walked to the chair above, slowly sitting down.

At the same time, a Restriction rose outside the hall, blocking out all light, and Ghost Guest was instantly engulfed in darkness.

"Taking money to eliminate disasters for others. Since Junior Brother is so sensible, I'll give you a quick death."

"Alright, I'll be waiting," Ghost Guest laughed freely.
