Chapter 826: Chapter 668, Special Cargo Chapter 826: Chapter 668, Special Cargo Arrived at the autopsy room.
Two coroners immediately saluted, “Lord Island Master, Steward.”
Xi Ligui asked, “How's the body from last night?”
“The autopsy has been completed.”
As they spoke, an autopsy report was handed over.
Xi Ligui glanced at it and said to Wu Heng, “The Blood Clan infiltrator I killed last night was human, with no particularly distinctive features. His identity is still under investigation.”
Wu Heng nodded, then took out the body of the Blood Clan member, “This body should also be autopsied. It will be reported to the headquarters with detailed records.”
“Yes, my lord.” The coroner nodded and placed the body, which was only half intact, onto an iron bed.
They began the autopsy using various tools.
After handing the body to the coroner, the two also stepped back to the doorway.
“What exactly happened yesterday?” Xi Ligui asked directly, arms crossed.
By now, she knew that the Blood Clan wanted to kill Wu Heng, and that agents had been arranged within the city.
But as for what actually happened, she was still somewhat confused.
Wu Heng organized his thoughts and recounted yesterday's discovery of the suspicious ship and later luring the target out to Gold and Silver Island.
He kept it brief, but made the storyline clear.
“Why did you go out again? It's very dangerous.” Xi Ligui's tone held some reproach.
“I had it under control, don't worry,” Wu Heng said.
Given the current situation, he had an advantage at sea with an escort ship.
There was no need to worry about harming others.
Several cannon volleys, coupled with close-defense guns, made him nearly invincible.
The losses from last night were actually caused by the use of close-defense guns.
Such weapons fired too rapidly, and his ammo was extremely scarce.
Xi Ligui glared at him, “Tell me in advance next time.”
“Got it,” Wu Heng replied with a smile.
Xi Ligui leaned in and asked in a low voice, “Is it still because of the Exile of the Blood Clan you killed last time?”
Wu Heng mused, “It should be. We'll ask the body during the interrogation later.”
“Blood Clan aren't commonly seen in the Emerald Sea; I don't know what's going on, why they've been appearing here so frequently lately,” muttered Xi Ligui.
While they spoke, footsteps echoed from the corridor.
Shi Yali, accompanied by two investigators, came over directly.
“Lord Island Master, Steward,” the investigators saluted.
“Let's go. There's a Ghost of a criminal that needs interrogating here, and you'll be taking notes,” Wu Heng said.
The investigators nodded and headed together toward an empty room deeper inside.
Inside the empty room.
Wu Heng was setting up an Array while the others stood at the doorway.
Interrogating Ghosts wasn't a novelty, having been done during Imilo's time as a Steward.
Before long, the Array was complete.
Wu Heng took out the Demon Soul Pot, and the image of a male Blood Clan Ghost appeared, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings.
He attempted to flee in the opposite direction.
Realizing he was trapped by the Array and couldn't escape, he finally turned his gaze toward the people outside.
His eyes settled on Xi Ligui and he pleaded, “You're the Steward of Gold and Silver Island, I request to contact the Blood Clan and ask for protection.”
Xi Ligui glanced at his face and said, “This matter will be reported to the Association. Answer whatever I ask you.”
The Blood Clan's eyes shifted, but he didn't speak.
Xi Ligui continued, “Your name.”
The Blood Clan hesitated, glanced at Wu Heng beside him, and replied, “Kerbi Badley.”
Indeed, he was a member of the Blood Clan's Badley family.
Also from the same family, one Wu Heng had killed before.
When Glenda had absorbed a Blood Clan soul before, she had even received some visions.
Apparently, before Lilith became the Blood Clan Leader, the Badley family had been in charge of the Blood Clan.
Thus, this group harbored significant grievances against Lilith's rule.
As the investigators made notes in the background, Xi Ligui continued to inquire, “How many days have you been on Gold and Silver Island? Where have you been all this time?”
The Blood Clan's gaze wandered, and he stuttered, “Four days, five days now, always stayed on the ship. I've never been on the island, nor done any harm.”
“Why did you attack the ship Wu Heng was on?”
“No, I didn't attack…I was just passing by…” the Blood Clan defended himself loudly.
Wu Heng made a slight gesture, and whips formed from Necromantic Power lashed the Ghost, causing its soul to dissipate and reform, accompanied by pitiful wails.
“I admit it, I meant to attack him,” the Blood Clan shouted.
The lashing stopped, as the investigator behind continued recording normally.
After a brief pause, Xi Ligui pressed, “Why attack him?”
“He previously killed our people. It's personal vengeance,” the Blood Clan spoke, glancing at the recording investigator and hastily adding, “Also, Mo Fa Te from the Association contacted me, provided me with some information about you, and persuaded me to kill you.”
Wu Heng looked up, and Xi Ligui's brow furrowed instantly.
Mo Fa Te was Lu An's master, the Prince who openly challenged Wu Heng.
Avenging his kin was previously speculated, but now it seemed even his teacher was plotting against him.
After all this time, they were still seeking ways to set him up.
“Make a note of that,” Xi Ligui instructed.
The Blood Clan then shouted, “The Association will surely investigate this matter later, and I will testify for you.”
Xi Ligui glanced at Wu Heng, then turned back to the Ghost and said, “Tell us everything about how Mo Fa Te approached you, this is your last chance to contribute.”
“Alright,” the Blood Clan proceeded to recount the matter.
The crux was that Gold and Silver Island had a certain reputation with the Association's headquarters, and Mo Fa Te had written him a letter.
