The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 1258: Chapter 934, Searching for the Killer_2

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.

The veteran mage Gianvito asked, “Leader Wu Heng, could you please recount the incident from start to finish?”

Even he didn’t believe Wu Heng would commit such an act.

Wu Heng nodded and recounted the events, describing how the priest followed him after he left.

Everyone heard him say that the female priest wanted to join Wu Heng’s sect and even attempted to seduce him, but after failing to achieve her goal, she committed suicide instead.

This left everyone feeling even more bewildered.

After finishing his account, Wu Heng went on to analyze, “The corpse is right here. Any of you familiar with examining corpses may take a closer look. This body has already developed livor mortis, meaning she has been dead for quite some time. In other words, she died before the banquet even began. Just based on that alone, it proves that I’m telling the truth.”

Priest Nasir inspected the corpse’s skin, his eyes narrowing slightly. When he looked up again, he said, “Say whatever you like. Can I take people and leave now?”

“No!”

“What now? Leader Wu Heng, are you planning to kill us all?” Nasir’s tone remained hostile.
