Demon detective

Chapter 69

"This little catcher is really not simple..." The monk put away his fierce light, looked at Xu Zhen and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a person in the Yanping county government!"

"What's the real murderer?" Song Zhili was so anxious that he lost his mind, he shouted at the monk, "Why do you want the real murderer?"

"Why do I want to be a real murderer, what do you think?" Huo Di, the monk's face changed drastically, and he roared ferociously, "My elder brother is demented. Everyone knows that he cannot be the ghost-faced killer, but no one said a word for him. To be fair!

"Although my elder brother is stupid, he knows how to take care of his younger sister and younger brother." The monk's eyes were bloodshot and he was trembling with excitement, "With my elder brother here, our family will not be separated.

"However, you captured him and framed him as a ghost-faced killer!
"In the face of all kinds of beatings, my elder brother did not give in, but you frantically threatened him that if he did not plead guilty, you would attack his younger brothers and sisters.

"My elder brother was cut alive by you to protect us!"

The monk's veins bulged, and the iron chains that tied him rattled.

"My sister went to ask that Tong to intercede," he continued, gritted his teeth, "the Tong saw that my sister was good-looking, so he proposed an exchange, asking my sister to trade her body for my elder brother.

"My sister was fooled, not only failed to save my eldest brother, but was humiliated by him in every possible way...

"Also, in order to make my elder brother look vicious, they made him swallow five stone powder...

"Tell me, is there still justice in this world?" the monk said angrily, "Can you imagine, when my sister and I saw our eldest brother being cut and scraped alive?"

The monk's compassionate words made the cell immediately quiet.

Everyone present looked extremely embarrassed.

Xu Zhen also finally understood how deep the monk's hatred was, and it was no wonder that Tong County Magistrate was additionally sentenced to castration...

"Okay, okay..." At this time, Song Zhili was also very excited, and he spread his hands and said, "You have been wronged, right? No problem, I can help you. Qiu Batian knows, right? Qiu Batian was given by me. It's done, I can handle your elder brother's case too!
"But... you can't do this, I... I have no grievances with you, you can't take my son and daughter away, tell me, where are they? They are just children!
"I beg you, monks are merciful, I beg you, let them go, let them go, okay?"

While speaking, Song Zhili bowed and bowed, even about to kneel down to the monk.

"Huh...haha..." The monk grinned grimly, "There is no good thing for an official, I will no longer believe your words, I only believe in the knife in my hand. All I know is that without your two children, I would Brother will never be able to reverse the case!"

"Turn it, look it! I will help you! It's just," Song Zhili said hastily, "it's just... you must ensure the safety of my son and daughter!"

"Hahahaha..." The monk sneered, "Master Song, let me ask you, how can you help my elder brother reverse the case?"

"This... this..."

Song Zhili looked at the three confessions in blood in his hand. Obviously, these alone are not enough to overturn the case.

"Oh," Song Zhili murmured, "Yeah, you shouldn't have killed those three witnesses, but... don't worry, I'm sure... there's something for me!"

County magistrate Tong is still alive. Song Zhili probably wanted to confuse the monk's attention when he said this.

"Hahaha..." The monk sneered again and said, "Master Song, ask yourself, even if those three people are alive, can you really help me reverse the case?"

That's right, Song Zhili thought, the county magistrate later became a state governor, how easy is it to retract the confession?

Moreover, as Chen Houlu reminded, the ghost-faced killer case has too much influence in Yanping County. Once the case is overturned, it will inevitably cause panic among the masses, which is tantamount to going against the entire Yanping County!
"Do you understand now?" the monk said, "As long as you can find the real ghost-faced killer, my elder brother's case can be reversed!"

Oh……

Everyone suddenly realized, and finally knew the real purpose of the monk.

That's right, if the real ghost-faced killer is caught, wouldn't Qi Dalang be exonerated naturally?

but……

Song Zhili frowned, his face sinking like water, he was obviously thinking about the most important question:
Can the real ghost-faced killer be caught?
"After my elder brother's death, there has never been a ghost-faced killer case in Yanping County," the monk said, "There should be some articles in it. Mr. Song... then I will leave everything to you!"

"you……"

In desperation, Song Zhili glanced at Xu Zhen, his eyes full of longing.

However, Xu Zhen seemed to be thinking about something, and did not respond to Song Zhili's eyes.

"Thirteen days," the monk said to Song Zhili, "it has been 13 years since my elder brother's injustice, so I will give you thirteen days.

"Thirteen days later, at the beginning of the morning, if I haven't seen the real ghost-faced killer, then you will never see your son or daughter!"

"No... no... no, no..." Song Zhili was confused and at a loss, "You can't do this, I have no grievances or grudges with you, no grievances or grudges... besides... I am not the judge of this case. Yes, it's been 13 years, that ghost-faced killer...I...how about you let go of one first, let go of my son first, okay..."

"Hush...Master Song," the monk sneered, "I hope you are clear, we are not making a deal, don't bargain with me.

"After thirteen days, if you haven't caught the ghost-faced killer, then you can take another gamble, you can torture me severely, chop hands and feet, skin cramps, you bet that I will tell the whereabouts of your children, right? "

"Ah? This..." Song Zhili felt dizzy and almost passed out.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Next, the monk laughed maniacally, laughing so that everyone's heart trembled, it was really uncomfortable...

……

A quarter of an hour later, it was daylight.

In the hall of the county yamen, Song Zhili's condition was even worse than before, his whole body was numb, as if there was only an empty shell left.

Cheng Xiao stood with his hands down, as if he was thinking about his own affairs.

Xu Zhen was carefully checking the three blood confessions.

At the critical moment, the county magistrate Chen Houlu changed his previous pathology and came up with an idea: "In my opinion, to catch the ghost-faced killer 13 years ago in [-] days is simply a dream!

"Master Song, the only thing we have to do now is to mobilize all forces to bring back the young master and young lady.

"I don't believe it anymore. In thirteen days, can't we search every inch of land in Yanping County? I don't believe we can't find it!"

"But...but..." Song Zhili covered his heart, and said weakly, "Sima joins the army and Cai Junshou is here, how can we search for people with great fanfare?"

"It's human nature," Chen Houlu said, "Master Song, if you want me to tell you the truth, maybe they can lend us their people!"

"Oh...you overestimate them," Song Zhili said, "They only care about Qiu Batian's affairs. If they know that there is another big case, they will definitely block it and come up with random ideas. At that time... it will be even more impossible to save him." Be polite and tolerant!"

"That's it, tsk tsk..." Chen Houlu worried, "Then what else can I do?"

Or because of inertia, he immediately turned his attention to Xu Zhen, hoping that Xu Zhen could give a unique and brilliant idea.

However, Xu Zhen was still carefully checking the three blood confessions.

"My lord," at this moment, Cheng Xiao, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, suddenly said excitedly, "I have a solution!!!"
