"Qi Xia," Zhang Chenze said with her hands crossed and an expressionless face, "You were the first person to call out when Han Yimo got injured. Do you know each other?"

Qi Xia didn't even lift his eyelids and answered with his right hand supporting his forehead, "No, we don't know each other."

"Do you have any clues about his death?" Zhang Chenze continued to ask.

Qi Xia didn't answer anymore. Instead, he carefully examined the giant sword on Han Yimo's body.

This sword had an ancient style and looked like a beautiful piece of art.

It was covered in battle scars, as if it had gone through many fights.

But in this era, who would use such a giant sword to fight with others?

"Qi Xia, I'm asking you a question," Zhang Chenze said impatiently, "Aren't you going to explain anything?"

"What do I need to explain?" Qi Xia asked, "Do you want to say that I killed Han Yimo?"

"Regardless of whether you are the killer or not, you still need to say something to clear your name, right?"

Qi Xia still didn't answer. Instead, he reached out to draw the sword.

"Hey!" Officer Li hurriedly walked up when he saw this, "Qi Xia, whether you are the killer or not, we need to protect the crime scene! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Qi Xia interrupted, "Otherwise, when the police come to investigate, the evidence might be lost?"

Officer Li's mouth moved slightly, but he couldn't say anything.

Now, it's not just a matter of waiting for the police to investigate. It's even a question of whether he can leave here alive.

Seeing Officer Li's silence, Qi Xia exerted all his strength and continued to draw the sword.

He almost used all his strength to completely lift the sword off the ground.

Qiao Jiajin saw this and went up to help, only to find that the giant sword was even heavier than he had imagined. This pitch-black ancient sword, made of an unknown metal, weighed about 150 kilograms, equivalent to a strong adult man.

Qi Xia gasped heavily and threw the iron sword on the ground, making a loud noise.

After a while, Qi Xia stabilized his breathing and finally spoke to Zhang Chenze, "Lawyer Zhang, let's confirm something. This iron sword is one meter long and weighs over 150 kilograms. Are you suspecting that I lifted this iron sword, silently killed Han Yimo, who couldn't move at dawn, and deeply inserted the sword into the ground?"

Zhang Chenze pursed her lips, her face not looking good.

"And before that, in order to avoid being discovered by you, this iron sword has always been hidden in my pants pocket, right?" Qi Xia asked again.

Officer Li saw that the atmosphere was not good, so he stepped forward to mediate, "Qi Xia, since you didn't kill Han Yimo, why do you have to draw the sword?"

Qi Xia didn't argue with Zhang Chenze either. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the blood-stained giant sword.

He carefully examined it, shook his head, and turned the iron sword over.

Sure enough, on the other side of the hilt, there were three small characters engraved: "Seven Black Sword."

In the content that Han Yimo had said earlier, there wasn't much useful information. It seemed that he had been trying to accept some facts, but unfortunately, he didn't figure it out before he died.

And the only information that Qi Xia remembered from this conversation was the three words "Seven Black Sword."

"Is this sword called the 'Seven Black Sword'?" Qiao Jiajin asked on the side.

Qi Xia gently stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "These three words were on the other side of Han Yimo, which means he shouldn't have known the name of this sword when he was pierced. But why did he mention the 'Seven Black Sword'?"

"I think your way of thinking is quite unique," Officer Li shook his head and said, "Why do you care about the name of a murder weapon? The current problem should be considering the cause of Han Yimo's death, shouldn't it?"

Qi Xia glanced at Officer Li and said, "When Han Yimo was stabbed, it was already bright outside. Even if he was sleeping at that time, he would definitely open his eyes after such a heavy injury. In theory, he should have seen the killer, but he didn't mention the killer's name at all. Instead, he mentioned the 'Seven Black Sword' twice. Isn't that strange?"

"But he called your name..." Xiao Ran whispered on the side, "Regardless of what kind of sword it is, Han Yimo did call out your name first..."

"So what?" Qi Xia asked.

"So you are the killer..." Xiao Ran said timidly, hiding behind Officer Li and not daring to look at Qi Xia.

Qi Xia didn't defend himself, he just stared at Xiao Ran, as if trying to judge whether this woman was the real killer or just simply foolish.

"And our companion is dead, but you don't seem to be sad at all. Instead, you calmly analyze the situation here. But you are a liar! What's the use of your analysis?!" Xiao Ran's voice gradually grew louder, "Who among us would believe you?"

"'Sad'?" Qi Xia frowned as if he didn't quite understand, "Are you saying... I should be sad for someone I've only known for less than a day?"

"You are so heartless, that's why I said you are the killer!" Xiao Ran's voice was filled with tears, "You wanted to leave last night, so why did you stay here? If you think about it carefully, you stayed here on purpose to kill someone."

By now, Qi Xia had roughly understood. He stared at Xiao Ran, seemingly trying to determine whether this woman was the real killer or just simply foolish.She had once shouted in the initial room, "Why should we believe this liar?"

For her, "logic" was useless, she only believed in the results she wanted to believe in.

Qiao Jiajin couldn't stand it anymore, he said to Xiao Ran, "Hey, silly girl, if you don't like to use your brain, don't interrupt others. I think the liar's analysis makes sense."

"But you three are not good people to begin with!" Xiao Ran retorted with grievance, "There has been a murder here, aren't you three the most suspicious? What's wrong with me being stupid? I won't do bad things even if I'm stupid!"

Her words were not only aimed at Qi Xia, but also included Qiao Jiajin and Tian Tian who were standing by.

Yes, they three, were not exactly good people to begin with.

Qi Xia nodded and replied, "You're right."

He gave up examining the body and the giant sword, and slowly stood up instead, "There's no need to continue looking, I killed the person."

Upon hearing Qi Xia's words, everyone's faces were expressionless.

Only Xiao Ran seemed a bit excited, "See! He admitted it himself! He was babbling a lot just now, trying to divert attention with the name of the sword!"

Officer Li was frowning on the side, pondering something.

"Hey! Liar!" Qiao Jiajin was somewhat incomprehensible, "Even if you admit it, who would believe it? Not to mention you, even if you and I moved this sword together, it would be impossible not to make a sound."

Qi Xia waved his hand and walked out of the convenience store.

"It doesn't matter, there are only ten days left anyway, what can being labeled as a murderer do? Besides, I don't like arguing with stupid people."

Hearing Qi Xia say this, Qiao Jiajin also pursed his lips and followed.

Then there was Tian Tian, who had decided from the beginning to go with Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin, and now there was even less need to stay.

Lin Qin turned her head back, gave Officer Li a meaningful look, seemed to want to say something, but still didn't speak, shook her head, and left.

The team of only eight people was divided into two.

The faces of the four who stayed were somewhat complex, only Xiao Ran looked relieved, "Great... those bad-looking people finally left..."

"Xiao Ran, it seems we forgot something..." Dr. Zhao whispered to Xiao Ran.

...

Xiao Ran ran out of the room and called out to the four.

"Stop!"

Qi Xia turned his head coldly, not knowing what the other party wanted to do.

"Did you forget something?" Xiao Ran asked, "What about the 'Dao'?"

"'Dao'?"

"Yes, the four 'Dao', the 'Dao' that we nine people risked our lives to win back, you can't take them all, can you?"
