"Where did this news come from?" Hearing Miss Tong's question, Zhou Heng turned pale with fright. Zhou Heng had killed many evil spirits, but he had not killed any people. At that time, Wang Ya and Andrea could no longer be considered human. If Zhou Heng were to accidentally kill someone, the most obvious thing would be the loss of all the merits he had accumulated in the Heavenly Master System. Until now, his merit points had never decreased.
However, the Miss Tong would ask this question. It was very likely that someone had seen the scene of him capturing a ghost and mistook it as murder or murder.
Seeing that Zhou Heng did not immediately deny it and instead asked for the source of the news, Miss Tong's heart could not help but thump.
But no matter what, Miss Tong would choose to stand by Zhou Heng's side. She had already sent people to wait outside Zhou Heng's door, the moment Zhou Heng appeared, she would immediately bring him to Tong Mansion. As long as they entered the Tong Mansion, even the police would not dare to casually arrest them.
"Right now, this matter has not been made public, but many of the insiders already know about it. So, what if —"
"No, I didn't kill anyone." Zhou Heng first stated his standing, he was a peaceful citizen of the top three, not some fugitive, "Please believe in me."
"Big Brother Zhou, I believe in you." The Miss Tong answered without hesitation. At the same time, she couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief in her heart. Big Brother Zhou didn't kill anyone, this was really great news. In this period of time, she had always been on tenterhooks. There were several times that she had dreamt of Zhou Heng whose hands were drenched in blood, and then, she woke up from her dreams.
"Mn," Zhou Heng nodded, "Tell me, what exactly happened here?"
"Probably a week after you left." Miss Tong started first.
"Wait, a week? When did I skip class for so long? " Although he was not a good student, Zhou Heng would not skip classes for a week.
"Haven't you not attended classes for more than a month?" The Miss Tong asked doubtfully.
"What did you say?" Zhou Heng's face was also filled with suspicion. It had only been around three days since he arrived at water throne, how did it suddenly become more than a month? But he immediately realized, could it be that the water throne's flow of time was different from the real world?
"What month is it now?" Zhou Heng hurriedly asked.
"It's already early August." The Miss Tong replied.
"As expected." Zhou Heng's heart jumped, if he were to stay in water throne for a year, then when he returns to the human world, what would happen?
"Big Brother Zhou, why are you asking this?" Miss Tong did not understand what Zhou Heng meant. Was this related to the murder case that Zhou Heng was involved in?
"It's nothing, I'll explain it to you later," Zhou Heng knew that this wasn't something that could be explained easily, "Tell me first about the rumors of me killing someone."
Miss Tong nodded her head, then continued to explain, "After you left, we went to look for you, but your door was tightly shut, we knocked on it and there was no response, so it's fine." Of course, the "us" in her words referred to her, Bai Lu, Qin Fen and her group.
"But then your landlord came to collect the rent and you weren't home, so she opened the door with her key."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Zhou Heng realized that it was all because of this. In the past, he always paid the rent on the internet to the landlord, but this time, he didn't expect to leave his home for so long. Otherwise, he would have to pay the rent for a few months in advance.
"After opening the door, after opening the door," After saying that, Miss Tong hesitated, but she still continued, "After opening the door, she found a female corpse on the sofa."
Zhou Heng took a deep breath, thinking, it was indeed the case.
"After discovering the female corpse, she called the police. The police officers that came over recognized that it was the missing policewoman, Xu Lingshan. They then sealed the place and brought the corpse back." The Miss Tong continued.
Zhou Heng thought, it's over, now I'm going to become a fugitive.
"Police, are they looking for me?" Zhou Heng asked anxiously. He was only slightly over 20 years old, he did not want to become a fugitive like this.
Miss Tong shook her head.
"Because I gave you my word." "I know you aren't a murderer, Big Brother Zhou." The more she spoke, the more her eyes reddened. During this month, she had been under a lot of pressure. Her family's elders, including her mother abroad, had also called her to stop interfering in this important matter at this point in time. However, Miss Tong still insisted on doing it. In the name of the Tong Family, she first contacted the army stationed at the Coastal City, then called the Beiping. Finally, the army and the Beiping called the Ocean Police station one after another.
"You've been wronged." Although Zhou Heng could not completely understand Miss Tong's situation, he knew that Miss Tong must have borne a lot of pressure on his behalf.
He gently hugged the Miss Tong who was in pajamas to his chest.
Elsa who was seated at the side had a strange expression on his face as he watched the two of them occasionally cuddling up and down.
"I'm not feeling wronged, I'm not feeling wronged." Miss Tong said while sobbing, "Big Brother Zhou, you didn't kill anyone, this is really the best."
Every year, Tong Family would receive an invitation from the government to go to Beiping to measure the feng shui. This year, the date to measure the feng shui was nearing, at this time, the movements of the Miss Tong would receive more attention. Many of them came from the other Feng Shui Family s as well. They only hoped that something would happen to the gradually diminishing Tong Family and that they could replace it. It was not a wise decision for Miss Tong to stand up for Zhou Heng at this point of time.
It was not hard to imagine how much pressure the Miss Tong would have to bear from this.
In Zhou Heng's arms, the crying Miss Tong was getting louder and louder.
"Big Brother Zhou, it's great that you're back." This passage was neither long nor short, and even she had thought about it before. If Big Brother Zhou really killed someone and they were currently on the run, what should she do? The current monitoring system was very thorough. Unless he hid deep in the mountains, how could he not be discovered? In recent days, one strange nightmare after another followed into her dreams, often waking her up in the middle of the night.
She was afraid that Zhou Heng would never come back, but she was also afraid that Zhou Heng would be caught red-handed.
But now, the Big Brother Zhou had returned, and he was not the killer, so this could only be the best outcome.
Zhou Heng used his hands to pat Miss Tong's back to help her relax her emotions.
After a while, Miss Tong gently struggled out of Zhou Heng's embrace, her face completely red. In just a short while today, she had voluntarily thrown herself into Zhou Heng's embrace twice, and there were even people staring at her from the side;
"Alright," Zhou Heng said. "I have to tell you about my problem, and I also have to explain everything about Xu Lingshan clearly."
What a complicated story. Zhou Heng thought.
