100: When you're sleepy, bring a pillow.

"Please speak, Inspector Zou."

This fat guy finally got to the point, and Chen Heng's attitude improved a bit.

"Vice Gang Leader Chen, The Sixteenth Prince can be confirmed to have died in Little Li Family Village."

As soon as these words were uttered, Chen Heng's heart sank.

That shouldn't be. Helian Xuning's ashes had already been fed to the fish. How did these people know he died in Little Li Family Village?

Right, these Aristocratic Families have strange methods; who knows what tricks they might have.

Chen Heng's eyes became dangerous. He felt it was necessary to suppress this matter.

And the best way to suppress this matter was to kill everyone investigating the case.

Destroy the bodies and erase all traces, leaving nothing to be found.

Even if new people were sent to investigate the deaths of these few, Chen Heng could still kill the newcomers.

Isn't it just a nesting doll? As long as he didn't mind the trouble, Chen Heng could completely do this.

"Oh? May I ask where Inspector Zou learned this from?" Chen Heng asked with a surprised expression, somewhat curious.

"This official is not a idler; I always have my own methods."

Inspector Zou was a bit smug, feeling that he had finally subdued this bumpkin in front of him.

"And the only person who has been to Little Li Family Village recently is you."

"Vice Gang Leader Chen..."

"Indeed, I went to resolve the Anomaly in Little Li Family Village a few days ago."

Chen Heng nodded calmly, showing no flaws.

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Heng suddenly widened his eyes, looking at Inspector Zou with an expression of disbelief.

"Inspector Zou, you're not suspecting that I killed The Sixteenth Prince, are you?"

"What a joke. I'm just a Tongxuan Martial Artist. How could I possibly have that kind of ability?"

"Vice Gang Leader Chen, there's no need to panic."

Inspector Zou waved his hand, indicating that he had no intention of suspecting Chen Heng.

"I'm not suspecting you. It's just that the last place The Sixteenth Prince appeared was indeed Little Li Family Village."

"May I ask what kind of Anomaly Vice Gang Leader Chen killed at that time?"

"It was a fish-headed monster." Chen Heng pretended to recall, thinking for a moment.

"That thing was surprisingly weak; I didn't exert much effort."

"I see..." Inspector Zou pondered for a while, then smiled and looked at Chen Heng.

"Please, Vice Gang Leader Chen, accompany me to Little Li Family Village tomorrow to investigate the truth."

"I am truly unfamiliar with the place, and going alone would be unsafe."

Chen Heng didn't speak, just stared at Inspector Zou.

Only when Inspector Zou started sweating did Chen Heng shift his gaze.

"Does Inspector Zou not have his own subordinates?"

"That can't be. How could the imperial court send you without assigning you manpower?"

"I am merely a small Martial Artist, and I would not dare to hinder Inspector Zou's investigation."

"The imperial court did assign me manpower."

As soon as this was mentioned, Inspector Zou sighed repeatedly.

"Those two are from the Aristocratic Clan, and I can't command them."

"You should know that people from Noble and powerful clans are not Mortals like us who can be commanded at will."

"Moreover, the means by which I learned The Sixteenth Prince's last location also came from those two."

Seeing that Chen Heng was unwilling to help him, Inspector Zou had no choice but to show a little sincerity.

For example, the method of knowing The Sixteenth Prince's location.

"I see." Chen Heng suddenly understood. As expected, these were the methods of these Noble and powerful clans.

"Will those two also go to Little Li Family Village tomorrow to investigate the case?"

Chen Heng swallowed. These were two fat pigs delivering themselves to his door.

You should know that the true forms of Noble and powerful clans are all Demon People.

And Demon People, like Anomalies, can provide Chen Heng with a large number of Optimization opportunities.

It was truly like a pillow arriving just when one was sleepy.

Now, he couldn't *not* kill them.

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Chen Heng's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Those two..." Inspector Zou paused, then shook his head.

"I don't know. I can't control the actions of the Noble and powerful clans; I can only try."

"However, the fellow who could kill The Sixteenth Prince must not be simple."

"I alone cannot possibly be an opponent."

Chen Heng tried to probe the strength of those two 'meat pigs'.

If they were weaker than The Sixteenth Prince, that would be easy to deal with.

It's just that the number of Optimization opportunities would probably be less than that of The Sixteenth Prince Helian Xuning.

If the two of them were stronger than The Sixteenth Prince... then that would be absolutely fantastic!

This way, he could gain dozens more Optimization opportunities, enough to optimize his White Tiger Geng Metal Saber and his two Internal Skills.

"These two are both experts from the Cui Family, and their strength is similar to The Sixteenth Prince's."

Inspector Zou glanced at Chen Fugui, who was lost in thought, and whispered into Chen Heng's ear.

"But these two have a combined attack technique that can double their explosive power."

"That's too good." Chen Heng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but blurt it out.

"Too good?" Inspector Zou was startled for a moment.

"Yes, the stronger the two Aristocratic Clan descendants are, the safer we will be." Chen Heng quickly tried to cover up.

He couldn't expose himself before he made his move; if even one escaped, Chen Heng would regret it for a long time.

"It seems Vice Gang Leader Chen doesn't know much about the Noble and powerful clans."

Inspector Zou shook his head, not placing his hopes on those two.

"We are just Mortals; those two will definitely not care about our lives."

"Otherwise, why would I come to the local Gang for help?"

"Aren't you an imperial official?" Chen Heng was a little confused.

He remembered that the official position of an Inspector was not small, at least causing trouble in one area was not a problem.

"In the eyes of Aristocratic Clan descendants, an imperial official is at most a dog."

Inspector Zou gave a bitter smile.

"The Noble and powerful clans are the internal army raised by the royal family, and we officials are merely dogs of the royal family and the Noble and powerful clans."

"..."

Chen Heng frowned. He hadn't expected the imperial court of the Great Liang Kingdom to be like this.

Seeing Chen Heng remain silent, Inspector Zou stopped talking about that and changed the subject.

He had also spoken so much to Chen Heng because of his inner frustrations.

Furthermore, Chen Heng was only the vice gang leader of a Gang in Qiyang City, and speaking to him wouldn't affect anything.

"Alright then." Chen Heng nodded.

"Tomorrow, I'll accompany you to Little Li Family Village."

"However, it's best to invite the two Aristocratic Clan descendants, otherwise I'm afraid there might be some danger."

"As a Martial Artist, it would be good enough for me to protect myself in front of such an opponent. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to look after you, Inspector Zou."

"Good, good, good. It's good to have someone to lead the way."

Inspector Zou nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.

He had been rebuffed by Gou Longxun, but he hadn't expected to succeed with Chen Heng.

These unruly commoners also had sensible ones, after all.

"Then this official will not bother you any longer." Inspector Zou stood up and bowed.

"Oh, Inspector Zou." Chen Heng walked to Inspector Zou's side and asked in a low voice.

"May I ask where the two Aristocratic Clan descendants are currently? I'm thinking of going to 'visit' them."

"Those two have been lingering on Goulan Street ever since they entered the city, and they're probably still there now."

Inspector Zou did not conceal their whereabouts.

In his eyes, Chen Heng was merely a lowly person who wanted to gain the favor of the Noble and powerful clans.

"Vice Gang Leader Chen, it's best not to disturb those two."

"Otherwise, if those two get angry, it won't be easy to handle."
