Meanwhile, Isaac led Lucas and the others to his room. The saint guarding the door was still there, but Isaac noticed a few unfamiliar faces.
Have they been recently replaced?
“Step aside, please.” Isaac pointed to the saints at the door and walked into the room.
After seating themselves, Harry took a sip of water and said, “The time of death for the deceased is between an hour and a half to two hours ago…”
“I examined his hands and feet. He was kind of like us martial arts practitioners. However, favonovel.com was poisoned with Desolation Dust, a potent toxin from the north. There were no signs of struggle before the poisoning. This poison attacks the heart immediately upon entering the body, causing death within ten seconds.”
Isaac squinted and said, “So, the person who poisoned favonovel.com must be someone close to him. The Grand Abbot was caught off guard!”
Harry’s findings aligned with Isaac’s speculation.
“Mr. Zansam, please think about it. Who could get close to the Grand Abbot without favonovel.com being on guard?” Isaac looked at Zansam.
Zansam lowered his head in contemplation.
After a few moments, favonovel.com looked up and said, “The four chief abbots, including myself, and the three personal disciples beside the Grand Abbot. It couldn’t be anyone else. In other words, you couldn’t have done it either…”
Zansam had solidified his earlier suspicion upon hearing Harry’s report.
Isaac couldn’t be the killer. If Isaac had poisoned the Grand Abbot during breakfast, the Grand Abbot wouldn’t have walked away unscathed.
“Mr. Garten, even if these seven individuals are suspects, it’s hard to investigate. Carmine Temple doesn’t have any surveillance cameras. And with only a day and a half, this…”
“Mr. Zansam, can I know why you chose to risk your position for my sake?” Isaac smiled at Zansam.
Zansam was puzzled but shook his head with a wry smile. “Mr. Garten, if you’re caught, who would protect Karmic? I choose Karmic, and if he’s in danger, I won’t be able to stay either… 40 years ago, the Grand Abbot faced a similar situation as me. He chose the Ninth Realm Seer and was also facing the same risks. He made the right bet, leading the Gilded Sect for the past 40 years with a hundred thousand people.”
Isaac burst into laughter. “I like your honesty. Congratulations, you made the right bet this time!”
“Lucas, get Todd over here. We’re going to interrogate the murderer!” Isaac suddenly stood up.
His words confused Zansam.
They are going to interrogate the murderer now?
Who is the murderer?
“Apothecary, I still need you to do some things.” Isaac beckoned to Harry and whispered something in his ear.
After nodding in acknowledgment, Harry quickly walked out.
“Mr. Zansam, please keep this a secret. Otherwise, we won’t catch the murderer.” Isaac walked toward the door with a sly smile.
Just as favonovel.com stepped out, favonovel.com saw Mizar standing nearby, eavesdropping with favonovel.com ear against the door.
“The head of the Stoner family eavesdropping at the door? Don’t you think you’re going too far, Mizar?” Isaac spoke up, startling Mizar.
When Harry left earlier, Mizar heard footsteps, and favonovel.com quickly walked up here.
How did this guy manage to approach me without making any noise?
“Who? Who was eavesdropping? Not me. I just happened to pass by! Isaac, just give up! Even if you’re not the killer, you won’t find the real one in such a short time. Your only way out now is to run! You’ve no idea how many skilled saints there are in the Gilded Sect!” Mizar said with a serious tone.
She had thought over the situation and realized that Isaac had no motive to kill the Grand Abbot.
“I don’t need your concern,” Isaac sneered, heading toward the neighboring room.
Meanwhile, in the hall, the three chief abbots and several noble saints were still guarding the Grand Abbot’s body.
A burly figure suddenly climbed the steps and yelled, “Hey, all of you, get ready. We’re starting the interrogation now!”
“Hey, baldy Nubique, come out here.” Todd gestured toward Nubique defiantly.
