Chapter 157 Who Is The True Suspect!? 2

"Aggro!?" Harden asked in surprise.

Chiron nodded.

"I know you might find it strange, but I remember that Senior Ponzi used to talk about how broke he was. I heard he and his father owned quite the debt to the Bureau for Cultivators."

Harden's eyes opened up at the realization of those words.

Truly, that was not at all a bad reason to have had devils in the Clan. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

After all, if the clan was destroyed, there would be no reason for Aggro to pay off his debts.

"Thank You for your suggestion. But we will find that out ourselves." Harden was quite professional with his work. After all, pointing fingers , was not the way to do it.

He had been in this line of work long enough to know that everyone was innocent until proven guilty.

He allowed Chiron to leave the room. And then he invited Carla inside.

Carla looked more outstanding than she had ever looked before.

When she became a demon, her skin had become smoother and brighter. Her pupils also changed and her hair became a different color.

She was a demon. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨m

Chiron knew that if he allowed her the way she was, she would stand out too much.

Within this last week, he already had her dye her hair black.

For her eyes, it was easy to make it that of humans when she was in her human form. But she had to practice as she was more comfortable in her demon form.

Carla entered the interrogation room in little sobbing. She had just lost her parents and younger ones.

It was not that she was geniuely hurt, but that good acting was always more convincing.

"Carla! on the morning of the next day of the devil invasion, you and Chiron were seen leaving the premises of your home. What were you doing there?"

When Chiron and Carla had returned to the clan that day, the first thing they had done, was have a quick stop at Carla's home.

Chiron had not been too sure at the time. But just to be on the safer side, he had Carla come and cry in front of her home.

After all, this was the common sight with those that had lost their loved ones.

Carla wiped the tears in her tears as she spoke, "after losing our team members going to get the Snow-white Tulip flower, I and Chiron went to his home. I had told him that I was not feeling comfortable going home just yet and I needed his company."

Harden nodded.

"Before going to bring you here, we had already interviewed your last surviving teammate aside Chiron, and she told us that you had requested Chiron follow you to go give your mother the flower. But now you are saying that you and him went to his place."

Harden frowned, and Carla's eyes twitched at this.

She had forgotten about such a variable like Zi.

However, she was now a demon. cooking up a good lie came as natural as breathing for her.

"Yes elder Harden that is true, but along the way," she folded her hands in between her legs and had a shy expression on her face, "I had become really excited about getting the snow white tulip flower. Myself and Chiron decided to stop at his place to have some alone time..." her voice trailed low, and her cheeks blushed.

Harden was not a fool. From her reaction, he could tell it was a bit of an embarrassing topic for her. Also, he could tell what a young boy and young girl were planning when having alone time.

He coughed as he intentionally pushed the subject aware.

Also, he had been monitoring the scabbard as she was talking. He could tell that she was saying the truth.

He went on to ask a few more questions before letting her go.

Next, he interrogated Emma. Emma was not a very good liar. But luckily, she was not aware of Chiron's involvement in devil energy, and the only thing she could say was that she had been working at the Lost treasure at the time of the incident.

However, Harden had more questions for her. Especially about a certain sword that Chiron used. After all, Ganja was her father.

This was were Harden's frown tightened.

Emma was a terrible liar, and he could see from her expression or at least it was easy to suspect that she was lying. Especially when he had asked if Chiron killed her father.

Emma had replied with a negative. and the Scabbard had indicated that she was telling the truth.

However, Harden's conformity to the clan and its ways blinded what he was seeing before his very eyes. He had used the Scabbard for so long, and trusted in a hundred percent that it clouded his perceivable judgement.

Of course, Chiron was the person controlling the Scabbard from outside the Interrogation room.

Next, Harden interrogated the parents of Duna and Luna and also Duna.

Unfortunately for Aggro, the scabbard had translated that everything he said was a lie.

Harden had immediately had him permanently detained for further investigation.

It was at this time that Chiron's father, Aleen, and his younger sister Nora, walked into the place.

Aleen had come in angry at Harden for taking his son in without prior telling him.

Even in this world, influence spoke well.

However, both men were mature about it, and Harden let Chiron and his household go. Especially because he had not found anything on them.

Chiron went home without even saying a word to his father. Or rather, his father did not want to say a word to him.

This did not matter, he was not all too interested in this.

However, Nora had once again proven she was still useful.

Chiron walked up to her and patted her head.

The moment he touched her head, his aura energy detected something he knew was coming but did not expect to have arrived so soon.

Meanwhile, while Chiron made his discoveries, Harden had gone back that night, and after reading the report submitted by Chiron, Carla and zi, his mind was suddenly plagued with questions, and for the first time, he actually doubted the results he had gotten from the scabbard.

That was because...
