Martial Arts? Sorry, I am better at Thunder Spell!

Chapter 53: 053 Do you really believe that there are ghosts in the world? Anyway, I don’t (First subscription request upon listing!)

“Heavenly Master, if you continue to be this uncooperative, it’s really hard for us to proceed with our work! You’re not just delaying our time, but also your own.” @@novelbin@@

Inside the police station reception room, the two officers responsible for taking Qin Hao’s statement were getting a headache listening to his responses.

Because there wasn’t a single truthful word coming from the Heavenly Master’s mouth.

…

Police officer, “Heavenly Master, first of all, it was you who reported the case. How did you find out that the Japanese man was a murderer?”

Qin Hao, “I guessed it.”

The policemen were stunned, “Guessed?”

Damn it!

I’ve seen outrageous claims, but never anything this outrageous.

Who could guess with such accuracy?

I’ve never seen a statement taken like this!

Qin Hao looked at them, “Anyway, the man has been caught, the body has been dug up, the evidence is conclusive. So does it really matter how I discovered it?”

Police officer, “…”

Though that’s what he says, we still have to follow the procedure. You can’t just muddle through like this.

The police continued to ask, “What were you doing in the southern part of the city? How did you come across the murderer’s residence? And, was it you who knocked out the Japanese man?”

Qin Hao said, “I had dinner on the mountain and came down for a walk. I unknowingly ended up here, and as for that Japanese man, that has nothing to do with me! When I found him, he had already lost consciousness.”

Qin Hao steadfastly refused to admit he had knocked the man out.

The police were dumbfounded.

“Qingyun Mountain is to the east of Longguang City, and our jurisdiction is in the south. You walked from Qingyun Mountain, covering dozens of kilometers?”

That’s just too ridiculous!

Police officer, “Heavenly Master, here’s the thing, knocking out a suspect isn’t illegal, and it’s considered assisting the police in solving a case. There’s no harm in admitting it, we won’t make things difficult for you.”

Qin Hao, “It really wasn’t me, I honestly don’t know.”

Police officer, “Then how did he become unconscious?”

“Blessings of Infinite Heavenly Venerate! Who knows! Maybe he had a hypoglycemic attack?”

The police were totally lost for words.

A serial killer who had murdered dozens of people over a span of years fell unconscious due to low blood sugar and was coincidentally discovered by the Heavenly Master who had strolled from the east to the south of the city after dinner and suspected him to be the serial killer, subsequently reporting to the police, thus solving Longguang City’s unsolved missing person cases that had lasted for over a decade!

This is just ridiculous!

Can this story get any more far-fetched?

Heavenly Master, even fibs need to be more believable!

Even novels wouldn’t dare to write something like this!

The two policemen were still recording Qin Hao’s statement.

In the next room, the Japanese man was raging like thunder, facing the interrogation of Dragon Country’s police.

He was uncontrollably furious, exclaiming, “Years of planning! Years of laying the groundwork! Hundreds of evil ghosts! Do you understand? Do you know? That damned Heavenly Master killed hundreds of my evil ghosts in less than half an hour! Jerk!”

“If it weren’t for that damned Heavenly Master, my grand Swallowing Spirit scheme would have succeeded. I’ll kill him!”

His Swallowing Spirit Technique had failed.

This Japanese Onmyoji knew he wouldn’t live for much longer.

And falling into the hands of Dragon Country’s police, he couldn’t escape death, so he might as well drag Qin Hao down with him.

He revealed, “That Heavenly Master can perform Thunder Spells! He can summon Heavenly Thunder to strike down, with just one bolt killing dozens of evil ghosts! He also has Protective Golden Light, and that golden light has even turned purple-gold, bullets can’t penetrate it!

With everything that has happened, don’t you Dragon Country officials have any thoughts? Why don’t you capture him for interrogation? Obtain Qingyun Mountain’s cultivation methods!”

The police looked at each other, piecing together what the ranting Japanese man was saying.

They knew what the Japanese man said was mostly true.

But the Heavenly Master next door flat out denied it.

Claiming to be nothing more than a commoner.

What could they do in this situation?

Moreover, he was from Qingyun Mountain.

In terms of background, he had it. Even Dragon Country officials were not so bold as to provoke him.

In terms of power, he had even more.

And since the Heavenly Master hadn’t done anything bad, they really had no grounds to take action against him.

Coming out from the interrogation room of the Japanese man.

The officer who had been interrogating the Japanese man walked into the reception room where Qin Hao was still making his evasive statement.

This policeman said, “Heavenly Master, enough is enough. The guy next door has confessed everything; you broke his formation and killed hundreds of evil ghosts. These are all good deeds! What’s there to deny?

Besides, those high school students Shi Yi and Chen Hong have also made statements at the police station before, and their accounts basically match that of the Japanese man. Who’s being evasive? Everyone knows.”

Qin Hao, “Blessings of Infinite Heavenly Venerate, Officer, what do you mean by that? What evil ghosts? What formation? I truly don’t understand. I was just taking a walk down the mountain; all of it was a coincidence. I, a devout Taoist priest, never utter lies!

And how could you believe the words of a murderer? If he’s not insane after killing so many people, it’s hard for anyone to take him seriously. Tell me, could the words of a mentally ill person be trustworthy?

As for those high school students, they must have watched too many ghost movies and imagined all this. Officers, without evidence, you can’t unjustly tarnish someone’s reputation!”

The police retrieved surveillance footage from the highway near the Third Hospital.

Police officer, “This is from the early hours of last night, surveillance from the Third Hospital. It clearly captured the sky above the hospital filled with Thunder Spells for about ten minutes. During this period, dozens of bolts of Heavenly Thunder struck, hitting the hospital directly with each strike. How do you explain that?”

Qin Hao, “Blessings of Infinite Heavenly Venerate! That’s a matter of meteorology, a natural phenomenon. How could I, a mere Taoist priest, possibly know? You should ask the meteorological bureau about this issue; they might give you a satisfactory answer.”

The police then pointed to the figure in the surveillance video.

“And who is that person in the purple robe standing with those high school students?”

The surveillance clearly shows a person in a purple robe standing in front of the hospital until the Heavenly Thunder had cleared, and then he left from the hospital entrance.

This purple robe was identical to the one Qin Hao was currently wearing.

How could he still argue?

Qin Hao responded calmly, “Officers, wearing a purple robe isn’t against the law, right? There are many people in the world who wear purple. If you’ve only got the clothes without a clear face shot, claiming it’s me is a bit hasty, don’t you think?”

The police produced a repaired photo of the clear face.

“Heavenly Master, we’ve managed to capture your face. Still denying it’s you?”

Qin Hao looked at the photo of himself on the table.

Qin Hao, “I was just passing by there, just passing by! And I casually watched for a while.”

Police officer: Well done, just a moment ago you were denying it, now with conclusive evidence, you’re saying you were just passing by?

Police officer, “So what you’re saying is, you admit to knowing spells, and those things in the hospital were killed by you, the Heavenly Master?”

Qin Hao said, “Blessings of Infinite Heavenly Venerate! Officers, you can’t really believe the world has ghosts, right? Laughable. Anyway, I don’t believe in them, and I’ve never seen one. It truly has nothing to do with me.”

Qin Hao was making his position crystal clear; he didn’t believe in the existence of ghosts.

The policemen were left completely confounded.

Others from different sects would go crazy purchasing trending stories on social media, sparking debates, increasing faith, and boosting their visibility.

But this one from Qingyun Mountain, with the evidence right before them, still staunchly refused to admit he was a cultivator, repeating his belief in science and denying the existence of ghosts.

The police couldn’t help but accept defeat.
