Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Chapter 238: Chapter 178: If it were me, you wouldn't see the victim.



```

Interrogation room.

Officer He Zhi, who had come from the Qilu Region's Linyi Police Station, was still engaging in a fierce confrontation with Lin Chuan.

"Currently, you remain the prime suspect." He Zhi's sharp gaze was fixed on Lin Chuan, trying to detect any hint of fluctuation on his face.

However, his objective was thwarted yet again.

Lin Chuan wasn't the least bit perturbed, and, upon hearing about the murder, his eyes even lit up.

If it were merely a tomb-robbing case, the existence of "Touch Gold Notes" would indeed have landed him in some trouble.

After all, as long as the suspicion wasn't cleared, the police would conduct a series of investigations focused on him.

That was a necessary part of the police's process in handling a case.

Inevitable.

But then.

With the addition of a murder case within Seven Stars Lu King Palace, as long as the assassin was found, Lin Chuan's suspicion could be directly ruled out.

That would be much more convenient and faster.

Just perfect!

"You don't seem surprised, but rather excited?" He Zhi observed Lin Chuan's demeanor, his expression revealing some confusion.

Hmm?

Such an excited expression, was it like the frenzy of a bloodthirsty killer?

Why is this guy so strange?

"Uh, Officer He, within the tomb-raiding circle, it's pretty normal for someone to kill over the temptation to hoard treasures, leading to a bloodbath, isn't it?" Lin Chuan collected himself and said with a smile.

In the tomb-raiding circle, raiding groups always need to be wary of each other.

Because, the relics they are facing could be worth millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

Murdering for money has never been unheard of throughout history.

In the tomb-raiding circle, it happens all the time.

Kill a fellow raider, and you get to hoard the treasure.​​

——Many can't resist such evil thoughts.

Even between father and son, it might happen.

Hence, there is an unwritten rule in the tomb-raiding world: if a father and son explore a tomb, the father must exit the ancient tomb first, with the son backing him up.

Its existence is not without reason.

"You seem to know a lot about tomb-robbing." Officer He Zhi remarked cryptically.

Lin Chuan smiled: "It's professional diligence of an author, research for every line written."

The reference materials alone can fill up hundreds of gigabytes on a hard drive.

Most serious authors do the same.

At that moment.

Shen Qianqian, who had been silent during the interrogation, spoke up: "Officer He, with the murder case in the ancient tomb, maybe you could show Comrade Lin Chuan the photos for identification."

He Zhi nodded.

He then took out a photograph from the documents and handed it to Lin Chuan: "Comrade Lin Chuan, do you recognize these two people?"

This photo depicted the two mummified corpses inside Seven Stars Lu King Palace.

Their bodies shriveled, looking much like mummies.

One of the mummies was face down, lying straight, its palm tightly gripping the ground.

There was a hole in the light green clothing on its back, and one could faintly discern a different color on the fabric around the hole in the back.

It appeared to be bloodstains.

The other mummy was curled up entirely, hunched over in a ball, with both hands clutching its abdomen, likely struck there, with faint, different traces on the ground.

"Don't recognize them."

Lin Chuan looked at the photos and simply said: "However."

"However, what?"

He Zhi's eyebrows shot up as he asked.

"This wasn't my doing." Lin Chuan laughed lightly and stated plainly.

"Huh?"

He Zhi's eyebrows knitted together, his expression puzzled.

In the interrogation room, the lighting wasn't particularly bright, casting Lin Chuan's face in stark relief, which seemed somewhat mysterious.

Lin Chuan looked up at Officer He Zhi, who had come all the way from Linyi, smiled, and said: "Officer He, you might not know me well. If I had done it, you wouldn't be seeing these two people."

"Huh?"

He Zhi's expression tensed, and his eyebrows instantly furrowed into a deep 'Chuan' shape, "What did you just say?"

Lin Chuan's demeanor remained calm as he repeated, "If it had been my doing, you wouldn't be seeing these two people."

Hisss!

He Zhi appeared stern, staring intently at Lin Chuan, then turned to look at Shen Qianqian.

Shen Qianqian actually nodded and added, "Officer He, you can trust Comrade Lin Chuan on this point. If these two had indeed been killed by Lin Chuan, then they would never have appeared before your eyes."

What?

He Zhi's mouth hung open slightly as he was taken aback.

Looking at Shen Qianqian, who was assisting with the interrogation, he said bewilderedly, "Officer Shen, I don't understand what you're saying."

Shen Qianqian smiled and explained, "Comrade Lin Chuan has written a book called 'This Assassin Is Too Professional,' which is recommended reading for our Anling Criminal Police Team. You might want to give it a read."

"Officer Shen, now is not the time to recommend novels. Lin Chuan's attitude is overly arrogant!" He Zhi lowered his voice and whispered to Shen Qianqian beside him.

"Let's step outside to talk." Shen Qianqian directly led He Zhi out of the interrogation room.

Outside the interrogation room.

Shen Qianqian glanced at Lin Chuan, who sat obediently inside the interrogation room and let out a quiet sigh of relief.

If the details of the Seven Stars Lu King Palace in "Touch Gold Notes" matched those in reality, it could indicate Lin Chuan's involvement in tomb-robbing.

But!

The emergence of a murder case virtually ruled out the suspicion against Lin Chuan.

"When Lin Chuan said that if it were his doing, we wouldn't be seeing those two people, that..." He Zhi struggled to describe his own feelings at the moment.

He felt that Lin Chuan's words were boastful and arrogant.

"Officer He, you are not familiar with Comrade Lin Chuan since it's your first time dealing with him. The investigation has come this far, and we can essentially rule out his involvement in the case."

Shen Qianqian's lips curved into a small smile, her tone light.
