Chapter 85: Murder
For a moment, everyone in the room alternated glances between the three strange kids and the expert from the Bloodwave Conclave.
Despite the tension in the room, Li Lang cleared his throat and walked closer to the man in charge.
“Senior Tai, it’s been a while. I hope you’ve been well.”
“...I remember telling you kids to stay out of trouble. And what do I find here?”
“What? Are we in trouble for just staying at an inn?”
Tai Xilun narrowed his eyes at the boys for a moment before letting out a sigh. He then turned to the innkeeper.
“Is this everyone?”
“No, there are still a few more people upstairs.”
Tai Xilun nodded and gazed over at one of his subordinates.
“Tell them to hurry up.”
After several more minutes, more and more people trickled into the lobby. The group of Bloodwave Conclave disciples who had knocked on Li Lang’s door returned, nodding to Tai Xilun, marking the start of their discussions.
“Thank you for your patience, everyone. I’m sure most of you are confused as to what is happening, so I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. A murder has happened within this establishment today. Our examinations showed that it happened within the last two hours, so we have detained you all for our investigation. I hope for your understanding and cooperation in keeping Emberglow City safe.”
