Chapter 53: Think clearly before admitting

"Why do you think someone wrote the words as if they were carved and printed?" Wei Ling held the transcript in one hand and tilted her head to study it.

It is the preliminary examination written by Yu Linlang last time. The handwriting is very neat, and the size and width of each character are about the same size. It is pleasing to the eye to read clearly.

"Wei Ling." Chen Buyuxing hurried in.

Wei Ling hurriedly put down her legs on the table and picked up a brocade box next to it.

"Your Majesty, they have arrested someone at the West City Gate!" Chen Buyu urged, "Quick, quick, summarize and classify all the previous examinations, and bring them all to me. The murderer was sent to the Governor's Yamen. You will be interrogated overnight."

Wei Ling hurriedly took out a stack of case files from a low cabinet and handed them over, "They're all here. Starting with the street gangster Chen Ergou."

"Is the file of King Liang included in it?" Chen Buyu asked carefully, "Although King Liang probably died of suffocation due to a blockage in his throat, but now that the murderer cut the body of King Liang into pieces like that, he must be forced to plead guilty and be punished."

"Yes." Wei Ling nodded, "The general examination form is the one at the top."

"Okay, okay!" After Chen Buyu took the things and turned around to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the familiar brocade box on the desk.

"This is?"

"Oh, it's the spiritual incense. I was a little curious, so I took it back to check it out. But this incense is quite effective. It makes people feel energetic not long after lighting it. It really has a refreshing effect."

Chen Buyu frowned, "It's better to use less of things of unknown origin. Even if you check them, you should take care of your own body and pay attention to safety."

"Yes, I know." Wei Ling nodded again and took a small porcelain plate to show Chen Buyu, "After the incense burns out, the powder will be white. I tried my best to test it three times, but I can't see it. There's something fishy about it. Maybe, if you find an orthodox doctor, you can find out something."

When Wei Ling said this, she couldn't help but think deeply.

"Maybe there is nothing weird at all." Chen Buyu smiled and walked out quickly, "I will go to the Governor's Yamen first, and you will check again. If there is nothing unusual, we will collect the evidence and prepare to close the case."

……

Inside the governor's office, Governor Jade was pacing back and forth in the hall. When he saw Mu Shizi and Lu Qian arriving, he was overjoyed and came forward with a smile on his face.

"According to the order of the Crown Prince, the prisoner has been handcuffed with special instruments. Even if he is a strong martial artist, he will not be able to escape. But that guy has been silent since he was put into prison. Wu Yong is interrogating him now. Crown Prince, Mr. Lu, we will go there together. Let's see."

The group of people quickly walked into the prison and saw the guard Wu Yong coming out from a distance, cursing.

"What??" Jade Governor's heart skipped a beat and he hurried forward.

"Sir!" Wu Yong turned his head and hurriedly saluted the prince and others, with a depressed look on his face, "That kid refused to confess, even if he asked no questions, he just laughed when he was beaten! This subordinate is really at his wits end. He has already been whipped. Two of them are beaten to pieces, and they are really made of copper and iron."

While he was talking, the prison boss came out of the inner room and said, "Sir, my lord, the murderer spoke and said that he would only talk to people who tried to catch him in prison."

Jade Governor silently looked at each other and Mu Shizi, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "You see, Shizi?"

Mu Zhao nodded slightly, "I'll go ask."

Because the murderer was a person with extremely high martial arts skills, once he was imprisoned, he was given the highest-level facilities and entered the most independent and secluded dark room inside.

Mu Zhao slowly walked into the dark room, illuminated by bright torches.

At first I smelled a strong fishy smell, filled with stench. The murderer's back was more than six feet tall, his hands were hung on copper rings, his feet were also heavily shackled, and his back was crisscrossed with whip wounds.

"As expected of Mu Shizi who made Nanchu and Xichuan frightened. In terms of intelligence and scheming, I can't compare with you. In terms of martial arts, I can't defeat your two secret guards. The loser can be regarded as convinced." The murderer couldn't help but haha ​​when he saw him approaching. Laugh out loud.

The Jade Governor who came with him was so frightened that he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Mu Zhao, "Your Majesty, be careful."

"No problem." Mu Zhao waved his hand.

"I'm just curious, why did you know that I would go through the west gate? You deliberately made the defense in the north of the city loose, just to invite me into the urn? I thought there would be a big ambush in the north of the city."

Jade Governor snorted and said, "You will also say that you think so? If our prince's layout can be understood at a glance, how can we catch you?"

The big man let out another rough laugh.

Jade Governor shouted, "What's your name? Don't be so presumptuous in front of the Crown Prince. Tell me your name quickly!"

"Me? I don't want to change my name. I don't want to change my surname. My name is Wang Baitian."

Jade Governor quickly took the record book handed over by the clerk and looked through it.

"Wang Baitian, what's your relationship with that Niu Wang family?" Chen Buyu, who came in a hurry, couldn't help but ask as soon as he stepped into the cell.

Before Jade Governor could pull out a flower from the book, he turned around happily when he saw this, "Mr. Chen, you came just in time. This murderer is very stubborn and refuses to say anything. Is the examination done? Look at him. Why deny it?"

Chen Buyu nodded and walked to Wang Baitian and asked again, "Wang Baitian, who are you, Niu Wang?"

"Who is Niu Wang?" Jade Governor asked Wu Yong in a low voice.

Wu Yong lowered his voice and informed, "The Niu Wang family is the former eldest daughter-in-law who escaped from Jinzhou and married into the Niu family as we found out from the villagers."

Jade Governor suddenly realized, "That's it."

He looked at Wang Baitian with excitement and geared up to question him, "Wang Baitian, can you honestly tell me whether you killed Prince Liang? Don't deny it in a hurry. We have witnesses for the fact that you entered Prince Liang's palace last night and set fire to hurt others."

"Old Sepi is really dead?" Wang Baitian laughed wildly, "Okay, okay, die well! It's me, I killed them all! I, Wang Baitian, only do things and take responsibility for them. Since I did it, why don't I dare to admit it?" ?”

The clerk hurriedly sat down at the simple desk and wrote down the murderer's confession.

Mu Zhao frowned slightly, "Do you know Chen Ergou? Why did you kill him?"

"Hahaha, why did you kill him? That kind of idiot has done so many bad things that he has no conscience. I am still merciful if I cut him alive!"

"Do you know the level of fear you feel when you watch your flesh being cut off bit by bit?"

"Hahaha, every one of them cried bitterly and begged me to forgive them. Hahaha! It's ridiculous. When they harmed my sister, did they ever care whether she was in pain or misery? I just want them to go to the underworld and find her. My sister personally begs for forgiveness."

"Niu Wang is your sister." Mu Zhao looked at him with deep eyes, "I advise you to think clearly before identifying her. If she was not killed by you, you can tell the truth."

"I killed them all!" Wang Baitian sneered, "If you kill one person, you kill a group of them. Anyway, if you officials catch me, you will not be able to escape death, so why should I be afraid?"
