“Isaac, these three have been devoted disciples of the Grand Abbot for over a decade. Are you sure they’re the murderers? Even if you want to buy time, you should be smart enough to pick a different target to frame,” another chief abbot said, glaring at Isaac with a dark expression.
Zansam’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and favonovel.com whispered, “Mr. Garten, this is no joke…”
Angry expressions appeared on the faces of all the saints around. They didn’t believe the Grand Abbot’s most devoted disciples could be the murderers. They seemed more willing to believe that Isaac was the culprit.
Isaac said in a cold tone, “Casano, come forward…”
“To uncover the truth, I’ve specifically invited two elite detectives from the authorities in town. You may not believe me, but you should trust them, right?”
Then, an officer standing in the background stepped forward, holding a report and two small plastic bags. He addressed the crowd, saying, “We found Dylan’s fingerprints on the cup in the Grand Abbot’s room… Furthermore, we discovered Gabriel’s fingerprints on the broom in the Grand Abbot’s bathroom.”
The officer, with a stern expression, continued, “We’ve asked around, and the Grand Abbot usually pours his own coffee. The fingerprints we found this time are clearly unusual…”
“Nonsense!” Nubique suddenly burst into laughter.
He strode forward, grabbed the officer by the collar, and lifted favonovel.com up.
“Kid, fingerprints? These disciples are responsible for attending to the Grand Abbot’s daily life. Finding their fingerprints in the Grand Abbot’s room is entirely normal!”
“Isaac, do you think we’re all kids?!” Nubique yelled, turning his angry gaze toward Isaac.
“Yes, isn’t it normal for the Grand Abbot’s personal attendants to leave fingerprints in his room?!” another chief abbot roared in anger.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly fell into chaos.
A daunting, oppressive air surged overthe hall, and Isaac saw a crowd of noble saints coming toward him.
The two officers were now sweating profusely, retreating to Isaac’s side out of fear.
Zansam’s initially excited expression turned into one of great disappointment. The reasoning behind Isaac’s accusation seemed weak.
Mizar, who was standing nearby, could be heard sighing.
“Isaac, you’re playing with fire over and over again. This is your own fault, not anyone else’s,” Mizar said, lifting favonovel.com head to look at Isaac through the veil.
Isaac saw the sinister smiles on Dylan’s and Gabriel’s faces, as well as the satisfaction in their eyes. They executed their plan flawlessly, certain that no strong evidence could be found against them.
“Did you really think I only have this bit of evidence?” Isaac spoke coldly, looking at the two.
“Do you know what poison the Grand Abbot was killed with?”
At Isaac’s words, the chief abbots exchanged glances. The question was sudden, and they all believed Isaac was the murderer, so no one had paid attention to this matter.
Isaac pointed to the Grand Abbot’s body and declared loudly, “It’s a highly toxic substance from the north called Desolation Dust… Once it enters the body, the victim will die within ten seconds.”
“But Carmine Temple doesn’t have this kind of poison, and neither does anywhere else in Eastscape. So, to obtain this poison, one must have connections in Neuport,” Isaac said while looking at Dylan.
By now, a thin layer of sweat had formed on Dylan’s forehead.
“Him!” Isaac suddenly pointed at Dylan.
