The Emperor of the Human Race, a Versatile Mage

Chapter 68: Summoned for interrogation, curse of ancient tomb

-------
The efficiency of the trial meeting is very high. In other words, if a person with connections and status like Jiang Zhao comes to handle matters, the efficiency will naturally not be bad.

In an interrogation room of the Magic City Trial Council, bearded hunter Li Guangqi was already drinking tea here. The Trial Council came to summon him, but he did not run away or resist law enforcement, and came directly to the Trial Council.

"Li Guangqi, you are suspected of murdering a hunter teammate. The evidence is here. How do you want to explain it?"

A cold-faced male judge shouted.

But Li Guangqi didn't look panicked, and even leaned back to make himself more comfortable, and said carelessly: "Your Excellency, Judge, I think you must not have carefully investigated how my teammate died, because if you If you investigate carefully, you will find that they were actually killed by demons. What does it have to do with me? In fact, I had an alibi when they died."

Seeing the emboldened suspect, the judge sneered and continued to ask: "Then how do you explain the source of the large amounts of funds in your account? Don't tell me that these accounts are not yours. We can obtain surveillance to prove that you are using these accounts. Account consumption!”

Li Guangqi was silent for a moment, and then said: "I am a hunter. A hunter goes through life and death and makes some money in the wild. Isn't this normal? You can't let me get rich. Is it illegal to get rich?"

"But you and your teammates all made a fortune by selling the same kind of treasure, the Crimson Crystal Sand. It stands to reason that everyone makes money. Why did you break up after getting the Crimson Crystal Sand?"

"As a hunter, it's normal to change teammates."

"But you are teammates who have been working together for seven years. From the average mid-level mage level when you first registered as a hunter team, to later all members were high-level. There is a priority in upgrading. Doesn't it help teammates who advance to high-level first? A teammate who has advanced to the next level? Such a relationship just breaks up?" the cold-faced judge questioned.

We have been partners for seven years, and we have all advanced to high levels one after another. How can we take risks together for so long if we are not in a good relationship?

Li Guangqi's eyes were slightly confused, as if he had recalled something, then he sat up straight and said slowly: "Things in the world are unpredictable. It is possible for brothers to turn against each other no matter how little contact they have. This doesn't mean anything."

"But after you broke up, you made several purchases of Crimson Crystal Sand. Before each move, you had to go to the wild alone. You have a fixed production area of ​​Crimson Crystal Sand? How do you explain this?"

Li Guangqi smiled and said disdainfully: "Yes, I know a fixed origin of crimson sand. Is it illegal? Or do you want it? Then I will give it to you without charge."

Behind the one-way glass, Zhuang Wanli felt something was wrong.

She was Leng Qing's friend, and they had known each other since childhood. However, Leng Qing went to the Lingyin Trial Chamber, while she found a way to enter the Magic City Trial Chamber.

This time Leng Qing's sister Lingling came to her, and the leaders above also asked them to pay attention to this matter, so she came to keep an eye on it personally.

Judging from the current situation, there are indeed many doubts about Li Guangqi.

Suddenly getting rich, teammates dying suddenly one after another, and fixed production points of natural materials and earthly treasures, these clues are connected together, and they all remind people of murdering people, silencing them, and monopolizing the wealth.

However, Li Guangqi seemed a little too confident, even arrogant, and did not show any timidity even after entering the trial.

"Put some pressure on him and say that a big shot is investigating him." She said to her colleagues in the interrogation room through a microphone in the monitoring room.

The cold-faced judge in the interrogation room heard the order in the headset and said, "No one cares about your little treasury. Do you know who you have offended?"

"I know."

Unexpectedly, Li Guangqi said this.

"you know?"

"Of course I know." Li Guangqi smiled, "It was because we offended him that we were killed one by one. Only I managed to escape the pursuit."

"You mean, someone is hunting you?"

Things seem to have changed.

"Otherwise? Do you think they are willing to die? After finally getting the money, whoever is full enough will kill each other."

"Then who is chasing you?" the male judge asked.

Li Guangqi leaned forward, lowered his voice, and said seriously:
"A watchdog."

"..."

The cold-faced judge couldn't help but feel a little angry on his face, "Don't toast or drink as a penalty." If you can't have a good conversation, then you can only have a taste of the interrogation methods of the tribunal.

"No, no, no, I'm not joking. We were cursed by a watchdog, so we were cursed to death one by one. Fortunately, I am a curse mage, so I can find a way to escape."

Li Guangqi stretched out his hand and tore open his collar.

"Let's see, this is how I avoid that thing. These crimson sands are our life money."

There were huge scars with spider web patterns on his chest. Half of the black bug had penetrated into the heart of the chest, and half of his body was exposed. The bug body was alive and still squirming.

"This is a poisonous insect I raised, which can stop people's hearts. Combined with a carrion poison, it can put people in a state of suspended animation, just like a corpse. In addition, I am also a curse mage, so I can avoid it. A life-threatening curse, as long as you carefully investigate how my former team members died, you will understand that I am not lying."

Li Guangqi bare his chest and looked very calm, as if he had expected this day.

Zhuang Wanli looked at the scar on Li Guangqi's chest. The poisonous insect half buried in his chest could completely control his heart. The nearby blood vessels were all purple-black.

A life-threatening curse?

Was it the curse that killed people, not him?

Zhuang Wanli still needs further investigation to know this.

Zhuang Wanli knew that the matter would not come to light so quickly, and that it would be investigated slowly, so she said into the microphone, "Ask him another thing."

The cold-faced judge in the interrogation room asked a new question: "So, how did your teammates Jiang Hao and Bai Lan die?"

Jiang Hao and Bai Lan.

Hearing this name, Li Guangqi fell silent.

"Why, this question is difficult to answer?"

"..."

Li Guangqi opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

The cold-faced judge did not rush him, but waited quietly for him to speak.

After a while, Li Guangqi took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry for them."

"Why are you sorry for them?"

"Because it was the information they paid for with their lives, but because of my greed, everyone was killed."

He opened a wound in his soul and revealed the past bit by bit.

It turned out that they accidentally discovered an underground palace, which should be the tomb of a certain ancient figure, so they started to hunt for treasure.

Hunters are out there looking for valuable things.

As a result, they encountered a trap in the ancient tomb while exploring. Unfortunately, Jiang Hao and his wife fell into the curse trap in the ancient tomb. Before they died, they asked him to tell others to leave here quickly. It was too dangerous for them to explore.

He was originally going to go back and tell everyone, but suddenly he found that there was crimson sand everywhere.

That's a treasure worth 50 yuan each!
Greed took over, so he called his teammates and everyone made a fortune together.

As a result, they were entangled by a life-threatening curse after they walked out of the underground. They ran away separately, but no matter where they ran, they would encounter evil spirits who wanted their lives.

Now, except for him, everyone else is dead, and he has only relied on the poisonous insect's method of feigning death to escape the curses that claimed his life.
