Inside the Law Enforcement Hall, the atmosphere was so heavy it was suffocating.
Elder Zhou Jin sat at the head of the hall, his knuckles drumming unconsciously against the hardwood armrest, creating a dull, tapping sound.
Below him, several Stewards in charge of the interrogation stood with their hands at their sides. They presented the compiled transcripts from their separate interviews with Fang Han's group of five and the various servants.
Zhou Jin's gaze was sharp as lightning as he quickly scanned the lines of text.
The transcripts were detailed and corroborated each other, especially concerning the key events: their arrival at the mine, the handover from Qian Yong, the intact seals, and the ambush on the road. The accounts from the five disciples and the servants were highly consistent, showing no obvious contradictions or flaws.
