Wu Heng paused, but still said, "I hosted a banquet in the city, inviting association members who had investigated the case with me, including Elder Tapani..."
"Be more concise." Lilith interrupted.
Wu Heng continued, "During the banquet, a female priest followed me into the study, then broke her own neck."
The other side fell silent once again.
Then came Lilith's skeptical response, "You're saying a priest from The Holy Court died in your study."
"Yes!" Wu Heng replied.
"Did you kill her?" Lilith's tone was stern.
"How could I possibly do that? I was framed, and I'm trying to find the real culprit." Wu Heng quickly said.
Lilith asked, "Someone managed to kill a priest in the study of a hero?"
"It was indeed my negligence." Wu Heng admitted, unable to say much else.
"Continue..." Lilith prompted him to keep explaining.
Wu Heng recounted the rest of the events in detail, including the intelligence gathered by the Fifth Princess.
