Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: Suspicious Matters

The sunlight poured down, but what woke Lin Peng up from his deep sleep was Mayor Ladd's surprised shouts. Shaking his head and slapping his forehead to get out from the warm blanket, after casually washing up, he went downstairs to see Ladd's somewhat maniacal movements.

  Laughing with his mouth wide open and his hands dancing around, he was jumping and dancing in the middle of his garden. His brows furrowed slightly, and after shaking his head helplessly, he turned to Nadas, who was also wearing a speechless expression next to him, and said, 'What's the situation? Going crazy?' 

  Nadas smiled bitterly and turned to laugh, 'It's one of his old rivals, who was killed last night by a drunken man who broke in!'

  'Huh?'

  Lin Peng blinked his eyes for a moment, still really having some trouble figuring it out. Killing a random person was this Rad's old rival. Then ... at least, it would be someone in power amongst that family.

  That is to say, oneself yesterday casually killed the person, unexpectedly is that family's patriarch and so on.

  While his heart was a little surprised, it was also with a hint of joy. Looks like, his own luck is really good. At least, came here without being chased by magical beasts, without being chased by experts who are more powerful than himself.

  Moreover,...n... today's 'sunshine' seems to be very good ah!

  Just want to understand the so-called 'sunshine', but, at this time from the front hurriedly sent out the sound of iron cross collision. From the sound of it, it must be a soldier or something like that coming in.

  Nowadays, in Rad's mansion, not to mention the guards and the like, there was not even a single servant or a single family member. Originally, Rad was not a person here. And ... he didn't have many servants either.

  After something like what happened last time, basically all of them fled and defected as well.

  When he saw Kappa enter here with a group of soldiers, Lin Peng had some thoughts in his mind. It should be, there's no handle left behind! Then what's the point of coming to me? It's hard not to, still invite me for a breakfast tea?

  Obviously, this idea was untenable. Kappa first looked at Lin Peng with that very sceptical look, and only after a while, did he coldly say, 'There was a murder, you, the staff officer assisting me, are you not going to follow me to have a look!'

  Saying that, he raised his eyebrows somewhat provocatively. It seems, if you don't go, then you really deserve to be screwed by me.

  Unfortunately, Kappa was an innocent warrior, and not a treacherous merchant or something like Pagris. So, unfortunately, he chose to go with Lin Peng. Instead, after going by himself, he came to falsely accuse Lin Peng.

  Of course, sometimes he was overbearing. But, perhaps it was because he believed in his own strength too much!

  When the three of them arrived at that luxurious and somewhat excessive mansion, Lin Peng turned his eyes towards Kappa and smiled faintly, 'Heh ... really didn't expect that, such a good opportunity, the Kappa patriarch wouldn't use it to deal with me?'

  Kappa coldly grunted coldly looking at this man who had recently become red under the Duke, heavily grunted, flung his head and entered that house after saying, 'What kind of person am I, Kappa, I don't care to use that kind of trick at all. Just like this time, I'm in control of this town in a dignified manner, not some kind of conspiratorial tactics!'

  Lin Peng followed behind with a slight stupefaction, letting out a somewhat odd laugh. Speaking of which, Kappa really did take this town in a dignified manner. At the very least, there was no use of any underhanded tricks to treat himself.

  Laughing bitterly, it suddenly occurred to him that if this person was on the same path as himself, how good it would be!

  Kappa frowned as he looked at the room where the bodies had been collected and only the mess of the fight remained. After looking around for a bit, he sneered, ''The guards of your Gaelic family are really a bunch of losers. A fight like this, and no one even noticed. Hmph...'

  The corners of the mouth of a sturdy facing somewhat soft air high ranked demon following behind twitched, but, did not speak. After all, a high rank demon is just a high rank demon, really offending such a Demon King level expert, that would really be looking for death.

  Moreover ... as one of the several major forces in Dark Moon City, the family that Kappa represents is not that easy to mess with.

After rummaging around for a while, Lin Peng had started to touch the walls that were full of scratches. Hehehe a smile, pointing to those scratches as well as destroyed tables and chairs said: ''Obviously, this is the murderer's last addition. Oh ... if I say, perhaps, that dead ghost guy of yours is simply being given a move by someone else. En, it won't be a broken neck!'

  The high-ranking demon in the back clearly had a physical pang, and under Kappa's serious gaze, he slightly nodded his head, 'Not bad, the patriarch-sama was killed by a move that broke his neck. Those traces of broken bones on his body, we think, should also be added by the murderer behind him!'

  Lin Peng almost burst out laughing in his heart, broken bones, indeed they were made up before death. It's just that, you guys don't have such technology to discover it.

  Kappa's thick eyebrows seemed to have wrinkled together, just looking at Lin Peng, saying, 'How do you know! A fight scene like this, if they got it up later, there's no way they wouldn't know about it!'

  Lin Peng smiled faintly, picked up a piece of broken wooden board, and violently folded it. There was a snapping sound, the sound was extremely dry and undirected. And then, another stroke was made towards the wall with the piece of shattered wood that couldn't be broken anymore.

  'You see, if someone with extremely strong strength could just crack them. And these scratches aren't deep at all, so that ... should be how they got them on. As for those ceilings up there ...'

  Two fingers cupped his chin, as if in deep thought.

  Kappa sneered and suddenly jumped on his tiptoes. Lightly drawing his knife, he slashed at the ceiling, and instantly, a relatively deep scratch appeared. Moreover, the entire movement was surprisingly without the slightest sound.

  With just such a move, at least, above the control of power, it had almost reached the ranks of a true Grandmaster.

  Lin Peng's mouth was wide open, and the plank in his hand directly turned into ashes. The flame that was still burning, bearishly illuminated the person somewhat squinted his eyes: ''Kappa patriarch, it wouldn't be you who killed it. Haha ... If a demon like me who has embodied the elements, I can't grasp such power. En... you are much more powerful than me!' 

  Kappa snorted coldly and stared straight at the high ranked demon who still really thought it was like this, saying, 'Do I have a reason to kill him! Hmph, if I wanted to kill him, I wouldn't even have to go through this much trouble!'

  Turning, he glared towards that high-ranking demon and said, 'You go and bring that "murderer" up! I'd like to see, under my interrogation, where else can he escape to!'

  With that, he just sat down on the sofa with a big horse.

  Soon, that drunkard was brought up. However, at this time, he was not drunk at all. Only, his face was pale and somewhat terrifying. It seemed that he was about to faint.

  That thin and somewhat pathetic long pole body, even more so, did not even have the strength to walk. On the forehead, a large bruise purple, the corner of the mouth is hanging a trace of blood. It looked like it had been tortured before he came.

  Kappa stared at this 'murderer' as if he were a chicken with a dull gaze. Suddenly, a devil king level aura directly filled the entire room. The high-ranking demon next to him even fell directly to his knees on the red carpet.

  The cold sweat on his forehead was like rainwater flowing down. As for the 'murderer', he even fainted directly.

  Lin Peng watched Kappa's interrogation with interest, shaking his head in a somewhat bored manner: ''It looks like this guy is definitely not an expert. Then ... it's impossible, to be the real murderer. En ... By the way, your clan leader, is there any enemy ah! I see, it won't be a revenge killing! Or, love killing is not possible!'

  'Huh?' That high-ranking demon immediately sat down on the ground with a relaxed butt the moment Kappa withdrew his aura. That soft armour on his body was even soaked throughout.

  However, after hearing such a question from Lin Peng, he shook his head slightly in a somewhat depressed manner. Turning, as if he thought of something, he nodded his head fiercely again, 'This ... to say that the biggest enemy, of course, is Mayor Ladd!'

  Pointing to the back of the somewhat excited Ladd said, Ladd suddenly had a flustered look on his face.

  Lin Peng shook his head, 'Ladd does not have such strength, although, can please me. But ... I don't have the slightest degree of control over that kind of pure power.' Kappa made a slight point and directly jumped over Lin Peng.

  However, Nadas behind him was really almost wanting to laugh out loud. Lin Peng didn't have power? Only knows the elements? It was the undead that believed it! This was simply ... fraud!

'And if love kills, then ... there should only be that ... this ... en... ...The true native family here, the patriarch of the Scully family. Previously, I heard that when they were in Aaron City, the two of them attended an auction. At the auction, the Lord Patriarch auctioned off the female slave that Patriarch Scully liked the most. In the ... end, that female slave was the current matriarch s wife. In last night ... it seems that she also died!'

  Saying this, a fat man standing next to that high-ranking demon hummed heavily. It seemed that this was simply their shame in general. These guys, basically all high ranked demons, were about three or four of them. By the looks of it, they are the clan leader's siblings or immediate family members. Then ... letting someone who was originally a slave ride on top of them, it was obvious that they were very unconvinced.

  Lin Peng smiled and nodded, and after a little contemplation, he and Kappa exchanged a glance, ''How is it, it looks like, this matter is still a little complicated! But ... hey ... now all the officials of Kulau Town are in your prison. Shouldn't ... they be released for a thorough investigation. Granted, that Scully family is your people, but ... en ... you in the end, okay?'

  Kappa huffed and stood up, slamming the table. The kind of table made of mahogany directly shattered open, glaring at Lin Peng with a glance, 'Those officials, they were also just locked up on an excuse. And ... the current Kulau Town, is Laozi's! Hehehe, want to let them out, no way. This point, I want to do it is still not done. This is our side's own matter, don't bother you!'

  Saying that, he directly walked out of the room with big strides. Lin Peng's eyes narrowed, and after secretly laughing in his heart, he also followed and walked out.
