Douluo Reborn: The Silver Dragon Returns, but Regrets End

Chapter 131 Interrogation
"But you should also know that when something like this happens, you should report it to the college immediately and contact the college to explain it proactively so that they can handle it for you. It's not that the college doesn't trust you, but they can't contact you. The college has also been unable to make guarantees to the outside world in the past few months. This has caused the federal government to put a lot of pressure on the college, and the college's reputation in society has also suffered a certain amount of damage."

The man paused for a moment, then continued, "So your actions have caused great losses to the academy, so we brought you here this time."

Lin Xiuran raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Indeed, I admit that the college has suffered losses."

"That's right. Now let's talk about what happened..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiuran continued, "But, first of all, I didn't know the specific situation for a few months after the news broke. I only found out about it two days ago. After I found out, I came to Shrek Academy as quickly as possible."

Before the strongest voice sounded, another voice said urgently: "This news is so big that the whole federation knows about it. Don't you know?"

"I'm forging battle armor. I believe you all know that you must not be distracted during the forging process, and this is especially true for me as a blacksmith." Lin Xiuran explained calmly, without any sadness or joy.

That thick voice sounded again: "In that case, let me ask you, did you go to Donghai City on the day the incident happened?"

Lin Xiuran admitted generously: "I have been there."

"Do you admit this, too?"

A projection appeared in front of him, showing the video of Lin Xiuran forcefully entering the auditorium in the center of Donghai City and grabbing Xu Xiaoyu away.

“Admit it.” When Lin Xiuran saw this video, he instantly understood that it was Shrek Academy that suppressed this video, so it was not spread to the society.

It seemed that he really didn't expect Lin Xiuran's answer to be so straightforward, and the other party was silent for a while.

Then he added: "If that's the case, it's not that the academy doesn't believe you. That day was also the day when the Xu family was massacred."

"So, you might be the last person to see Xu Xiaoyu, and based on what you did at the time, you have a strong motive for committing the crime. Moreover, the college has also investigated your experience, so this matter is really inseparable from you."

Lin Xiuran's eyes remained unchanged: "I can explain this. Since you investigated me, you should know the relationship between the Xu family and me, as well as my mother..."

"So this still aggravates the motive for the crime."

"That's exactly what happened. That's why the elder died in the old house that day, and Xu Xiaoyu was still holding her wedding. That's why I went to the wedding and made a scene. It has nothing to do with your so-called massacre."

"But this is just your one-sided statement."

Lin Xiuran also raised his eyes to look at them and said in a deep voice: "But you have no actual evidence to prove that I did it."

He had already fully understood the whole context of the incident two days before he came back. Although he is now listed as the biggest suspect in society, there is no substantial evidence after all.

The biggest evidence is the video just now, which has not been spread yet. Most people in society have only heard the media's reports and the official announcement of Donghai City.

"There's more to it than that. Don't forget that you have a history of losing control. Have you forgotten what happened last year?" The elder's voice also rose a few notches: "If you lost control and did something unintentional, you might not even know it. So, even if you really don't know it, you still have a big problem."

Lin Xiuran's pupils shrank slightly, and then his face changed slightly. He really didn't expect that this matter would be used to blackmail him.

He gave a bitter smile, and then said with a serious look: "If you think so, then I really have nothing to say, and I am also unable to prove myself. I have already made it clear what needs to be made clear."

"I didn't kill anyone in the Xu family. I can tell the academy here responsibly. I'm not an evil soul master, and I don't take out hearts. Those were all done by Xu Junwen."

"If that's the case, then why was Xu Junwen's heart also taken out? His body is still in the hands of the Donghai City officials."

Lin Xiuran asked: "Have you or the people in Donghai City checked what's in his stomach?"

"Xu Junwen's lower body was burnt by the flames, and you can't see anything at all. How do you know what's in his stomach?" said the thick voice.

Then, the elder said, "And how could Xu Junwen be so cruel to kill his own son and the entire Xu family?"

Lin Xiuran concentrated his mind slightly: "If he is really an evil soul master, what can't he do?"

"You are making up a story!" The elder who started it shouted angrily, "We don't know more about evil spirit masters than a young boy like you. Besides, Leng Yu's situation back then was not as serious as your current situation. It is very possible that you lost control. You can't refute this."

Lin Xiuran stood up at this time and said coldly: "Since you mentioned my mother, I want to ask, is she really an evil soul master?"

After a pause, he continued, "I'm afraid you all know that she is not like that at all. Even when she was captured by the evil spirit master, she never really hurt any innocent people. In the end, she even chose to commit suicide for fear of losing control and hurting innocent people. So, I think it's not appropriate for you to say that about my mother."

In fact, it was not Lin Xiuran's fault for being sensitive about this topic, but he had long known from Leng Yaozhu that Shrek Academy was also largely responsible for what happened back then. It was because some people in the academy were obsessed with evil that indirectly pushed the situation to that point.

That's why he spoke in such a tone when he mentioned his mother today.

“You should know that you have also been captured by the evil soul master. Who knows if you have been influenced by the Holy Spirit Church? What if you were sent by the Holy Spirit Church to infiltrate Shrek Academy?”

Lin Xiuran did not refute, but just looked at the old man calmly, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Oh..." A light sigh was heard, and the door of the room was suddenly kicked open.

"I guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with him." The man who came in was a sturdy man with a white beard, his eyes filled with deeply complex emotions.

"Zhuoshi, this incident has caused great losses to the college. You can't use your power for personal gain!" It was the same voice as at the beginning. He was obviously dissatisfied with Zhuoshi's approach.

Zhuo Shi snorted coldly: "Mr. Li Su, if you really think so, then I think we can go out and give it a try."
