Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1267 - 377: Speak!

The police seemed a bit taken aback: "What... major are you studying?"

"Philosophy."

"...", the seasoned officer smiled slightly: "Is this profession so lucrative? You graduated from college less than two years ago."

Chen Yan shook his head: "Earning money from wealthy people, only serving Brother Fu."

Pausing for a moment, Chen Yan realized the police might be focusing on him and proactively said: "My relationship with Lu Sisi is purely romantic, with no financial exchanges. My and Lu Sisi’s family, along with her parents, have no financial interactions."

"We’ll verify that." The seasoned officer nodded and suddenly asked: "What about your relationship with Yang Jiaming and Lu Xiuting? Are you close?"

"Not close, the relationship is ordinary," Chen Yan thought for a moment, saying, "I... don’t really like them."

"Why?"

"Because they treat my girlfriend poorly," Chen Yan said slowly, "Once at school, my girlfriend got into some trouble and had a dispute with other classmates. Neither of them protected their daughter; instead, they ignored it, allowing my girlfriend to be bullied and detained. From then on, I didn’t want to deal with those two."

Pausing again, Chen Yan added: "Also from that time, Lu Sisi moved out and lived with me."

The record was finished here.

As for the police asking him to keep his phone open and immediately contact them if there was any news, especially if he contacted Lu Sisi, Chen Yan agreed to all these.

The police also promised to find Lu Sisi, though Chen Yan did not hold much hope for this.

During the recording, he tried hard to control his emotions, suppressing his anxiety and impulsiveness, preferring to appear as a young man suddenly encountering changes, full of confusion and ignorance, but with a hint of urgency.

After completing the statement, he carefully reviewed what the police had written, signing and fingerprinting before leaving.

While at the police station, Chen Yan also encountered another "person involved."

A young woman, quite pretty yet still bearing two fresh blood streaks on her face—she was Yang Jiaming’s mistress outside, and due to her relationship with him, was summoned for questioning.

Although Chen Yan did not know her, after meeting her briefly at the station, he guessed her identity.

Still, he did not greet her, acting as if unaware.

What surprised Chen Yan slightly was that one of the police officers who recorded his statement, the seasoned officer, actually personally escorted him out.

At the entrance of the police station, after shaking hands with Chen Yan, the seasoned officer advised: "If Lu Sisi contacts you or you manage to contact her..."

"I will definitely notify the police immediately," Chen Yan promised without hesitation.

The seasoned officer watched Chen Yan leave; he walked out of the police station into the courtyard and boarded his car.

Turning around, the younger officer, who made the statement with him, approached.

"Sir, do you suspect this young man?"

The seasoned officer contemplated silently, shaking his head: "The case likely has nothing to do with him; he has a perfect alibi. The surveillance from his community indicates he left only after receiving our notification. However..."

He sighed: "This young man is somewhat unusual, especially graduating college only two years ago and already owning so many assets—a large villa, a grand flat, amassing tens of millions, right? And..."

"And what?"

"Did you notice his reactions? His emotions displayed surprise, shock from sudden events, confusion, and urgency regarding his girlfriend... all normal, but there was one emotion absent."

"What?" the younger officer asked.

The seasoned officer said softly: "Young man, it’s a murder case! A double homicide! Ordinary people encountering such a case, especially within their social circle and so close, would show certain reactions when questioned by the police.

Nervousness! And... fear!

It’s a double homicide, a murder case!

Among all his emotional reactions, nervousness and fear were the only ones missing."

The younger officer’s eyes brightened: "So he... has issues then!"

"No, my feeling is, the case is unrelated to him, but he himself is certainly not simple."

The seasoned officer sighed, patting his apprentice’s shoulder: "Focus on the case first. The priority is to find the whereabouts of the missing children. As for this young man named Chen Yan, he’s unrelated to the case, so let’s set him aside unless any involvement emerges. Otherwise, there’s no need to waste resources investigating him specifically."

Chen Yan sat in his car, started the engine, and drove away. After exiting a street, he pulled over.

In the driver’s seat, he took several deep breaths to calm his emotions.

Picking up the phone, he dialed again; Lu Sisi still didn’t answer.

So... now, is she still Lu Sisi?

Chen Yan gathered his thoughts, recalling the police’s questions to him.

He understood that he had too many unusual suspicious points, even if unrelated to the case, it would inevitably draw police attention.

Young, possessing inexplicable wealth—that’s just the surface, only two properties in his name.

Besides, he owned two streets in the University City, a commercial building, assets valued at billions, all under company names, not personally. To investigate these would require access to the commerce bureau. So for now, the police didn’t know.

Graduating less than two years ago, from a rural background, suddenly overseeing such wealth...

Most importantly, over the past two years, he frequently "disappeared" for days or months without any public transportation records—no flights, trains, or long-distance buses—because he had gone to the Domain Realm.

This frequent "disappearance" was also an unusual suspicious point. If unnoticed, it was fine; if noticed, it could be a significant issue.

Thinking about this, Chen Yan directly called Chu Keqing.

On the phone, Chen Yan explained today’s events briefly and informed Chu Keqing that the police might have some suspicions.

Chu Keqing immediately understood Chen Yan’s intent.

"Don’t worry, predecessor. As long as you’re not involved in the case, I will make arrangements to clean up any traces. I’ll handle it for you."

Chu Keqing, known as "Elder Zi," with broad connections ranging from authorities to celebrities, could surely manage this, so presumably no issues would arise.

With Chu Keqing’s assurance, Chen Yan temporarily set aside police-related troubles; the primary concern now was how to find Lu Sisi!

He drove to the villa, searched around inside and out, but found it empty; Lu Sisi wasn’t there.

Then he directly went to the rear mountain, entering the Circulation Constellation Formation to head straight to the underwater cave residence.

Unexpectedly, upon entering the cave, he saw someone seated in the hall!

"Zhou Qingning? You actually dared to wait here alone?"

Chen Yan smirked coldly, striding forward. He flipped his hand, and a blade appeared, floating by his side, Sword Control skill activated, the blade pointed at Zhou Qingning, its sharp edge glinting!

Zhou Qingning walked forward two steps slowly, seemingly unbothered by the blade pointing at his throat, bowing politely: "I’ve been waiting for Lord Immortal Official here for quite some time."

Chen Yan stared coldly at Zhou Qingning: "...Where is she? Where is she?"

"The Saint naturally is no longer here; she left a message for me to pass on to you."

"She’s not here... then why are you still here?" Chen Yan asked with a cold smile.

Zhou Qingning shook his head: "I came to this world escaping the Domain Realm, naturally won’t return."

Chen Yan stared at Zhou Qingning, finally sighing, then flipping his hand to put away the blade: "Speak!"

[Important Notice!]

Apologies, I’m ill with vertigo.

This Chapter was written despite discomfort; however, I can’t continue.

Those who’ve had this condition know what it feels like, and those who haven’t can look it up online.

Therefore, recent updates might not be guaranteed as I need a few days of rest, three to five days approximately.

I’m truly sorry, everyone!
