Chapter 932 Strong Evidence
In front of the majestic cave, a ray of light shot towards him, revealing the figure of a man with a leopard head and ape arms, flipped his hand, and the talisman disappeared into the room.

Soon, amid the thick fog, a figure flashed out from inside. The two exchanged a few words and entered the room together.

"Disciple pays homage to Master Uncle." In the room, a man with a leopard head and ape arms bowed to Fang Dasheng.

"You're here, sit down!"

"Thank you, uncle." The man took his seat according to the words: "I don't know what is the order for the disciple to come here?"

Fang Dasheng said: "Today, a case has been brought up. It is about Tang Ning, the acting captain of the Fifth Team of the First Brigade. He is suspected of killing Lin Quan, the recruiter of his team. The First Brigade has arrested him."

"According to the regulations, the cases tried by the lower-level teams need to be reviewed by the higher-level teams. This case was heard by the first brigade, so naturally it needs to pass the review of the wing team."

"In terms of candidates, I recommended you as the person in charge of investigating this case, and Zhang Xian and Xu Lin will assist you."

"What should the disciple do? Please show me the master." Pan Yuan expressed his opinion immediately.

Fang Dasheng nodded: "The case is not that complicated. Tangning confessed to killing Lin Quan. The main point of controversy is whether Lin Quan stole and handed over the sect's supplies. During the interrogation, Tangning insisted that Lin Quan was the mastermind of the theft. , but according to the investigation of the First Brigade, it is nothing but fiction."

"So the focus of your review this time is to find out whether Lin Quan has stolen the sect's materials, which is crucial to the outcome of the case."

"To tell you the truth, Tangning, like you, was promoted to the captain of the fifth team of the first team on my own recommendation. From what I know about him, he doesn't seem like an arrogant and reckless person. I think this case must There is something inside."

"Many people in the alliance are watching my jokes. They wish they could quickly convict and put him to death. One can recommend someone from them to replace the captain of the fifth team, and the other can use this as an excuse to attack me. Unknown person, damage to my reputation in the alliance."

"The first brigade is in charge of investigating this case is the confidant of its inspector He Lian, and the deceased Lin Quan is He Lian's brother. The reason why I let you take charge is because I am worried that someone will interfere."

"Uncle, please rest assured, the disciple understands what to do." Pan Yuan said.

"It won't be long before Junior Brother Sima will summon you and announce the establishment of an investigation team. He will tell you the details of the case."

"Yes."

"I have already reserved the quota for the Spirit Gathering Array for you next year. After finishing this matter, you can go directly to practice in it at the beginning of the year!"

"Thank you, uncle."

"Go!"

"Disciple resigns." Pan Yuan got up and went out, Xu Mengyuan sent him outside the cave and returned to the room: "Master, judging by the attitudes of Hao Jianren and Sima Nianzu, they must intervene, and they will not let it go, you How sure are you that you can keep Tangning out?"

"Sure?" Fang Dasheng glanced at him and shook his head slightly: "You think too highly of me as the captain, do you think I can stick to the sect's rules and keep him safe? If that's the case, Hao Jian If Ren and Sima Nianzu sue casually, I will have to step down, and the best I can do is to make the most of the situation."

Xu Mengyuan frowned and said: "It's not that serious! It's just a recruitment of monks, and there is a reason for the incident. Lin Quan himself may not be clean. Could it be possible that he will be convicted and sent to prison?"

Fang Dasheng said: "You still don't understand the key to this matter. It is an indisputable fact that Tangning violated the sect's rules, and I have no right to convict him. The decision-making power for how to deal with it is not up to me, but to the higher authorities. The most I can fight for It is to give him favorable evidence and a lighter punishment in the conclusion of the final case, as for the punishment that the higher authorities will give him, it is not up to me to decide."

"Then do you think Tangning can still keep her position as captain? Will she be sentenced to jail?"

"That depends on how the matter develops. If the evidence is favorable and can prove that Lin Quan is the mastermind of stealing the elixir, then his death is what he deserved. In addition, the joint team's proposal to deal with the case lightly, if no one above intends to target it. , Imprisonment should be impossible. It is hard to say whether he can keep his position as captain. He is still acting as captain, and the sect has not yet completed the process. confinement."

...............

On Pingling Mountain, in the main meeting hall, Pan Yuan, Zhang Xian, and Xu Lin sat on the top seats and were questioning the disciples of the fifth team.

Outside the hall, two streaks of light shot out, revealing the figures of two people.

"I don't know which uncle from the headquarters is here? The case is being interrogated inside, and irrelevant personnel are not allowed to enter." In front of the hall, a disciple greeted him and bowed.

The leading man said, "I am Mo Xian, the fourth team of the headquarters, and he is Mo Chaoyang, a recruit from the fifth team of the first team. Regarding the case of Junior Brother Tangning, we have important evidence to present to the joint investigation team."

"Master Mo, please wait a moment, I will report." The disciple pushed open the heavy stone gate in front of the hall and entered the inner room, and bowed to the three people above: "To the three masters, there is the fourth brigade outside, Master Mo Xian Lead the first brigade and the fifth brigade to recruit monk Mo Chaoyang and wait for an interview, saying that they have important evidence about Tangning's case to present."

"Please come in quickly." Pan Yuan responded immediately, and waved to Yang Qiushui standing below: "You go down first!"

"Yes." Yang Qiushui and the disciple left in response.

Soon, Mo Xian and Mo Chaoyang came in from the outside.

"Junior Brother Pan, Junior Brother Zhang, Junior Brother Xu, I am Mo Xian from the Fourth Team. I learned that you were ordered by the United Team to investigate the case of Junior Brother Tang Ning's murder of Lin Quan. I have a very important piece of evidence to submit here." Turn it over, take out a phonogram, point it at it, and the words inside come out.

.........

"Fellow Daoist Mo, why did you summon us here in such a hurry?"

"I got the news that in the next few days, members of the joint team's review team will arrive at our team to review Tangning's case. I'm afraid that everyone will have different opinions and something will happen, so I called everyone to discuss it."

"If there is anything else to discuss, just say it again as I said earlier."

"I'm a little worried. If the review team finds out that Lin Quan stole the elixir, what should we do if we perjure the evidence? Why don't we take the initiative to tell the review team the truth?"

"No, if the truth is told, we will be convicted of perjury."

"Yes, the truth must not be told, just follow the confession of the first brigade."

"but I………"

One after another voices continued to come from the phonograph notes emitting dark green light, echoing in the hall, lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and finally stopped.

Before everyone could speak, Mo Xian took the lead and said: "Mo Chaoyang is my descendant. After he gave false testimony that day, he felt quite uneasy, so he sent a letter to tell me. The evidence was handed over to the investigation team of the joint team, and I hope that the meritorious service can be dismissed, and I also ask a few senior brothers to read their repentance and deal with it lightly."

"Junior Brother Mo, don't worry, we will report this truth to the alliance." Pan Yun looked at Mo Chaoyang and said, "Who is talking here?"

"Except for the younger generation, the others are all witnesses to Lin Quan's theft of the elixir. We were worried that the Emperor would be held accountable, so we gave false testimony. In fact, we all witnessed Lin Quan's theft of the elixir with our own eyes."

Pan Yuan looked at the two people beside him and said, "Is there anything else you two juniors need to ask?"

Both shook their heads.

"Okay then, Junior Brother Mo and Fellow Daoist Mo please step down first."

Mo Xian and Mo Chaoyang turned and left. "

"Senior Brother Pan, it's getting late today, so let's stop here, how about another trial tomorrow?" Zhang Xian said.

Pan Yundao: "Now that we have the important evidence of this case, how can we wait until tomorrow? If Junior Brother Zhang feels tired, you can go to rest first, and leave it to me. Come here, go and arrest Chen Yun, Liao Fan, and Zhang Xuanqian." , Ye Xun, and Ma Yong came first one by one."

"Yes." A man below replied, got up and left the hall.

Soon, Chen Yun entered from the outside, and the heavy stone gate of the main hall closed again with a bang.

"Junior Chen Yun pays homage to the three seniors."

"Chen Yun, you should know the purpose of our coming here today! Do you have anything to say?"

Chen Yun bowed his head and said, "What does the senior want the junior to say?"

"Let me ask you, why did you go back on your word during the investigation by the first brigade? Earlier you identified Lin Quan as the mastermind of stealing the elixir in front of Junior Brother Tang Ning, and then you said that it was caused by Junior Brother Tang's coercion. Did someone prescribe something to you? Conditions, to tempt you to say this?"

Chen Yun's eyes flickered: "The younger generation doesn't know what the senior said. The testimony that the younger generation gave during the investigation of the first brigade is indeed true. The identification of Lin Quan in the conference hall was just to protect oneself."

"Hmph." Pan Yun slapped the desk suddenly: "It's really stubborn. Up to now, you are still lying and deceiving the world. It seems that you will not cry when you see the coffin. Come, someone, press him down, and escort him back to the regiment for serious punishment. disposal."

"Your junior was wronged." Chen Yun's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said loudly.

"You still dare to call for injustice? You first conspired to take the sect's supplies, and then you gave false testimony to frame Junior Brother Tangning. Up to now, you are still not being honest and talking nonsense. Your crime cannot be pardoned."

Chen Yun hurriedly said: "This junior is not talking nonsense, senior please check clearly."

"Mingcha? Hmph, do you think I'm defrauding you?" Pan Yunchao left a note on the desk, and the inner voice sounded again.

Chen Yun's face turned ashen for a moment.

"What do you have to say? Mo Chaoyang has already explained everything. Do you still want to be stubborn? Now is your chance. If you don't tell the truth, someone will explain it. Even if you want to say it, no one will listen to it." Yes. There are countless soul-searching techniques in the practice world. It is easy to get the truth. It’s just that you are the monks recruited by the headquarters. It’s not easy to practice for many years. It’s also a little hard work to help deal with the affairs of the spiritual mine these years, so I can’t bear to do it to you. You Do you want to give it a try?"

Chen Yun's face was pale, and Pan Yun's words fell, he knelt down with a thud, and tremblingly said: "Your guilty."

"It's not true yet."

Chen Yundao: "This junior indeed witnessed Lin Quan stealing the elixir with his own eyes. At that time, the junior and others were arranged by Senior Tang to load and unload the elixir on the Yuanling ship to check the elixir. It was the junior who first discovered that he was stealing the elixir. The junior stopped him on the spot and attracted other people. Concerned, Lin Quan then bribed and encouraged us."

"The junior also thought that stealing a little elixir from tens of thousands of plants should not be discovered, so he was obsessed with ghosts. Unexpectedly, it happened to be discovered by the disciples who were inspected by the brigade. After Senior Tang killed Lin Quan that day, what the junior said was indeed true. Wait until the brigade During the investigation, senior Fan Zheng told the junior that if the facts were true, the junior would spend his life in prison, so the junior lied."

"How did Junior Brother Fan Zheng tell you? Please tell me the details." As soon as Pan Yun finished speaking, Xu Lin immediately interrupted: "Wait, you all put Chen Yun down first, and you will listen to the call later." Come in."

Pan Yun glanced at him and frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything to stop him.

Soon the two people below pushed Chen Yun out, and after the palace door closed, Pan Yun asked, "Junior Brother Xu, do you have anything to say?"

Xu Lin said, "Senior Brother Pan, we were ordered here to investigate Tangning's case. As for other matters, we should not interfere."

"What is the meaning of Junior Brother Xu's words?"

"I don't think we should ask too much about the details of the trial of the First Brigade. Fan Zheng was ordered to act. In the face of this group of stubborn people, there is nothing wrong with resorting to tactics. Taking a step back, even if there is a confession, it is normal. As long as it is not It is not a violation of the rules to torture and torture, our focus should be on the case of Tangning killing Lin Quan, the rest is not our concern."

Zhang Xian nodded and replied: "Senior Brother Xu is right. We shouldn't have to interrogate too much about the details of the trial of the First Brigade. Even if Junior Brother Fan Zheng has any problems, he should report them to the wing and order the team to investigate. We have no right to investigate and interfere on our own."

Pan Yundao: "The two juniors have misunderstood. I just want to learn more about the whole story of this case, not to interfere with the details of the first brigade's trial."

Xu Lin then said, "Then there is no need to ask too much about the contents of Junior Brother Fan Zheng's trial. One more thing, I suggest that in the interrogation process later, try not to have the first brigade or Junior Brother Fan Zheng try to induce a confession." words, so as not to cause misunderstanding and ambiguity.”
