Capítulo 76: That will never happen

"I have already sent a team of disciples to search the record room," Jin Long spoke as he replied, "In the next few hours, we would be able to find the records that were stolen." 

Jin Shifeng nodded her head as she heard this. 

"In the meantime, I'm going to have to ask everyone to stay in the main hall," Jin Long added as he looked at Hua Tianshu. Although he used the word 'everyone' it was clear that he had said it out of courtesy in order to not single out Hua Tianshu. 

"The thief might hide away any evidence if given the time," Jin Long tried to explain himself as he spoke, "By keeping everyone here, we can at least rest assured that the thief would not be able to run away." 

Hua Tianshu chuckled under his breath as he heard this and this wasn't a reaction garnered by his amusement, rather, it was a mocking chuckle. 

"What if the thief isn't inside the main hall?" Hua Tianshu smiled as he asked.
