Chapter 381 The Lie Exposed
Chapter 381 The Lie Exposed
Facing Lin Yu's question, Lao Zheng did not hide anything and was even a little excited.
"Wow, you're quite perceptive, Director."
"Well, since you've asked... it's time to give you a brief introduction, starting with the Ten Realms."
Lin Yu interrupted Lao Zheng: "I don't have time for that now."
"Don't worry, my teaching level is very high. I can explain it clearly in a few words," Lao Zheng said quickly. "You can't explain it clearly without continuous teaching."
"In short, the seven currently known realms of the Ten Realms are: Pure Ruins, Mist Island, Night Valley, Great Wilderness, Prison Mountain, Black Swamp, and finally the 'Gray Domain'."
"Among them, Jingxu, Wudao, and Yegu are also known as the 'Three Realms of Souls.' Most of the creatures that inhabit these realms possess the ability to disrupt people's minds and manipulate souls. Furthermore, many high-ranking beings can leverage soul power to influence illusions. Many lives don't even possess physical forms."
"The Great Wilderness, Prison Mountain, and Black Swamp are collectively known as the 'Three Realms of Life.' Most of the forces within these three realms are adept at transforming life, and can even directly manipulate energy and matter..."
"So, the magic from the Pure Ruins couldn't simply be about creating seawater out of thin air. The seawater from the Pure Ruins can actually be used as a very effective sedative."
Lin Yu frowned: "So that guy is really lying, right?"
"No, that's not entirely true. The spells granted to him by the Heart of Loss certainly don't allow him to kill silently and without leaving a trace," Lao Zheng analyzed. "However, it is a loophole after all... Although you didn't question it because you were unsure, shouldn't the 'gambler' behind you be aware of it?"
"He should also know what the 'Purification' spell is."
Lin Yu shook his head: "I expected his abnormal behavior. When he reached Li Hua's position, there were many things to consider, not to mention that Li Hua was not honest with me."
"Oh?"
Old Zheng was very curious about where Lin Yu got this opinion from.
"'Order' certainly wants to solve the case as quickly as possible, but I'm afraid it's not that urgent yet. Twenty reminded me last night why the [Super Genetically Modified Radish] was stolen. I'm afraid it was taken into the dungeon... Li Hua is very likely aware of this as well."
Old Zheng agreed: "Now that you put it that way, it is true, but why?"
"Perhaps it's about the 'Fortune Teller,'" Lin Yu said calmly. "As someone who was present throughout the entire process and saw how I operated in the dungeon, what do you think of me?"
"I think you have a lot of potential, and... you're a monster."
Lao Zheng said with great praise.
"Yes, this is also the idea of Li Hua or the top management of 'Order'. No matter what others think, I did amazingly well in the last dungeon. And since they don't know my cards like you do, this might be another test and examination of me," Lin Yu said carefully. "Fu Luo definitely wanted to call me here, but why he called Fu Luo here might require some thought."
"So, I have to not only solve the case and reveal the truth, but also make them think they have revealed the truth about me."
Lin Yu said this, walked to the bathroom, turned on the faucet and washed his face.
Drops of water rolled down his cheeks.
Old Zheng heard the hidden meaning in Lin Yu's words: "Do you already know who the murderer is?"
"I just found out, and I'm not too sure, but it's probably true."
Lin Yu walked towards the interrogation room again.
"Sorry, I'm back...did I miss anything?"
Cress in the room had been handcuffed. Li Hua and Liang Ye stood on his left and right from the corner of the room, as if to prevent this madman Cress from hurting anyone again.
Fu Luo shrugged: "I didn't miss anything. The interrogation didn't continue after you left."
Lin Yu pulled out the chair and sat down again: "Okay, Cress... let's continue."
"You just proved yourself pretty well, and even took the opportunity to give me a 'crackdown', didn't you?"
Lin Yu said this, leaning forward slightly.
"But how could the 'Purification' spell be as simple as creating seawater? You're deliberately concealing it... All 'Purification' abilities will inevitably affect the human soul."
Even though this was knowledge he had just learned a few minutes ago, Lin Yu spoke it with great confidence, as if it was common sense he had always known.
Sure enough, Lin Yu's momentum instantly overwhelmed Cress.
The other party frowned and subconsciously followed Lin Yu's words to explain: "I just didn't explain it clearly, it doesn't count as concealing..."
"Although the Lost Heart does have a spell that affects the soul, it is far from being able to kill others."
"And the opponent is Luo Bo, a 'Level 3'... Even if he's known for not being good at fighting, his self-preservation ability is definitely far stronger than that of the average player."
As Cress spoke, Lin Yu nodded slightly.
"This shouldn't be false, but... Cress, this doesn't mean you're not a suspect."
"Do the traces of the curse remaining in his soul have anything to do with you?"
Cress shook his head: "I swear, absolutely not... I didn't cast any spells on him."
Lin Yu heard his answer and nodded.
"Okay, I understand...you can go now."
"I... uh? What?"
Lin Yu's casual and abrupt words caught Cress off guard.
He was a little in disbelief: "What?"
"I'm done questioning you. Go ahead and tell Zhiyuan to come over quickly."
Lin Yu continued to speak calmly and made a gesture of invitation.
After hearing what Lin Yu said, Li Hua looked up at Lin Yu, then stepped forward and opened Kress's handcuffs.
He and Liang Ye each took a step back. Cress stood up in disbelief and slowly walked towards the door.
When he was almost there, he looked back at Lin Yu and Li Hua several times before finally opening the door and leaving.
And just after Kress left.
Liang Ye and Fu Luo, who had not expressed their opinions on Lin Yu's sudden decision, spoke at the same time.
"Shit, I don't understand!"
"Why did you let him go so suddenly?"
They did not question Lin Yu out of professional ethics, but that does not mean they understood Lin Yu's intentions.
"Because there's no need to ask."
Lin Yu said calmly.
Fu Luo frowned: "Brother, it's not because he swore an oath..."
"No, because he lied."
Lin Yu reached out from under the table, holding an instrument that was flashing red light.
"This is my lie detector...his last statement was a lie."
"He used a hex on the turnip."
Lin Yu put the instrument on the table.
Liang Ye suddenly became a little excited: "Shit, he is indeed the murderer!"
"No, even though he lied, it doesn't mean he is the murderer."
Lin Yu said calmly: "Let's wait for 'Zhiyuan' to come."
