A moment later, he finally stopped tapping his fingers on the table and said in a grave voice, "Shen Lie was found dead in his own house, and there's still no trace of the killer. You three have been his fellow disciples for a long time. Tell me, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
The hall fell quiet for a moment, all three of them silent.
Qi Yuanfang, the only woman among the three, had a more meticulous nature. She was the first to speak, her voice tinged with caution.
