"Ding ding … Dang dang …"
The pleasant sound of hammering rang out in the smithy. Du Feng was quite impressive when he got serious. His hammering technique was based on the method of Fu Xi's family and some of his own understanding. In addition, this smithy also had a special feeling. It felt like it had been forged for a long period of time.
In addition, he didn't have enough new materials, so his first Blood Breaking Flying Sword was a middle-grade God Thearch artifact.
The blacksmith had been immersed in his work, but he couldn't help but stop and look at the sword in Du Feng's hand. He had to admit that Du Feng's forging talent was very high. With the same materials and the same environment, he might not be able to forge a middle-grade God Thearch artifact the first time.
Du Feng was also quite proud of himself. He put the flying sword into the gourd and soaked it in it before starting to forge the second one. At this rate, he might be able to forge a high-grade God Thearch artifact. With the effect of breaking blood, it could barely reach the level of a supreme-grade God Thearch artifact.
As for the Riding Dragon Sword, it was even easier to upgrade it to a supreme-grade God Thearch artifact. It was already a high-grade God Thearch artifact. He just needed to swallow some new forging materials. It was quite important to upgrade the weapon's overall combat strength.
The hammering sound continued. The smithy was in the courtyard, so it didn't have to stop for a break.
At this moment, the inn was surrounded by the law enforcers. Everyone involved in the merman incident last night had to be taken away for questioning. However, the main person involved, Du Feng, was nowhere to be seen. He had gone out early in the morning. There were also a few guests who went out early in the morning. When they came back and saw so many law enforcers surrounding the door, they were so scared that they didn't dare to return to their rooms.
Who would be willing to be taken away for questioning? They didn't know what the outcome would be. Hence, they didn't return and just slipped away. As for those who stayed in their rooms and slept in, they were unlucky.
As the main person involved, the law enforcers would definitely look for him. It was said that the merman had already confessed that he was in cahoots with him. The assistant was next door to cooperate with him in kidnapping the little human girl. As for the little girl, she was poisoned to death on the way back, so there was no way to provide any evidence. They could only listen to the fishman's confession.
Du Feng probably didn't expect things to turn around so quickly. In the morning, the Enforcer had said that he was acting bravely for the sake of the people. Now, he had become an accomplice. Not only did he become an accomplice, but the law enforcers were also looking for him everywhere. If he was found, he would be brought back for interrogation.
Things were far more complicated than they had imagined. Not only did the little girl mysteriously die, but the merfolk's accomplices waiting outside were also killed. Now, the merman only admitted to one accomplice, and that was Du Feng himself.
"What's going on? Why are they taking us away? Since that Du Feng is an accomplice of the Fishman, let's just catch him. "
At first, the guests in the inn all thought that Du Feng was a hero. But after the law-enforcement officer said that, everyone started to push the blame to him again.
"That's right. I felt that something was wrong with him last night. Why did he rush out first for no reason? If he didn't do it, why would he care? "
The guests were very impatient and started to complain. Especially the few aunties who were enthusiastic last night. They complained the loudest today.
"We're here to help. Don't accuse us wrongly. Everyone saw it in the hall last night. "
The few middle-aged female cultivators who stayed in the hall last night were very righteous at this moment. Because they had been staying in the hall all along, everyone saw what they did. Instead, Du Feng went back to his own room. No one knew what he was doing there secretly.
"Don't be afraid. I'm bringing you back to testify."
The law-enforcement officers were quite polite to these middle-aged aunties. They just wanted them to testify that it was Du Feng who started it last night. Because it was indeed Du Feng who broke the merman's bones first. He was also the first to save the human girl.
But now the law-enforcement officers suspected that his purpose was to kill the merman and poison the little girl at the same time. The merman confessed before he died that he was the mastermind behind the scenes and that he was in cahoots with the merman gang. When the law-enforcement officers arrived, the merman gang that stayed on the shore had already disappeared. There were some traces of a fight at the scene.
Soon, the law-enforcement officers found the materials store based on the clues provided by the crowd. In the end, Du Feng was already gone.
"Have you seen this person? Do you know where he went?"
Several law-enforcement officers held a portrait of Du Feng and pointed it out to the shop assistant.
"Yes, yes. He came over this morning to buy some materials."
The shop assistant nodded and bowed as he answered honestly. He didn't lie. Du Feng did come over this morning. The neighbors all saw it. He had to admit it.
"Do you know where he went?"
When the law-enforcement officers heard that Du Feng had indeed come over, they immediately perked up. As long as they caught Du Feng today, the rest would be easy.
"I don't know about this. He left after buying the materials. This person is very stingy. He didn't buy much in total. I think it's better not to come to our shop in the future. "
This sentence was fake. In fact, Du Feng had bought a lot of things. But if he said that, the law-enforcement officers could quickly deduce that he had gone to the blacksmith shop. After buying so many materials, if he didn't go to the blacksmith shop, where else could he have gone? If he didn't buy much, it was possible that he had left the city after buying.
Although they were law-enforcement officers, they couldn't control things outside of Sea City. If he had gone to Jin City, then they couldn't interfere.
The shop assistant wasn't stupid. Du Feng was their big customer, and the blacksmith was their old friend. They couldn't afford to offend him. Who could understand the law-enforcement officers? One moment they said you were a good person, and the next moment they said you were a bad person. As long as you weren't a bad person, you would always change.
Perhaps in a few days, Du Feng would become a big hero again, and he would come to the shop to continue spending money. Therefore, the shop assistant smartly chose to play dumb so that the law-enforcement officers wouldn't be able to figure it out.
After seeing the law-enforcement officers leave, the shop assistant secretly sent a message to Yuchi Jinhai. This was what Yuchi Jinhai had instructed him to do before.
"Okay, I got it."
