Wu Heng's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke coldly, "Nasir, calm down. I am a hero. Do you understand what that means? If I wanted to kill her, you wouldn't have even seen the corpse. Do you think I'd wait for you to arrive, see the body, and then let suspicion fall on me?"
As soon as these words were uttered, the scene fell into silence.
Given Wu Heng's status, what he said indeed made sense.
He was surrounded by women, and the female priest before him was truly not remarkable in appearance. The only noteworthy quality she had was her identity as clergy.
In the crowd, a dwarf investigator said, "It's also possible that something unexpected happened—perhaps the female priest cried out for help loudly, and he accidentally killed her."
Shanaela retorted, "That idea doesn't hold water. Wu Heng, as a leader, wouldn't have killed her over something like that, thus placing himself in a passive position."
Their chatter was somewhat chaotic.
