Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In front of the majestic cave, a ray of light shot out, and a man with a leopard head and ape arms appeared. He flipped his hand and the talisman sank into the room.

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

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

"You're here, sit down!"

"Thank you, Uncle Master." The man followed the instructions and took his seat: "I wonder what Uncle Master has to do with calling this disciple here?"

Fang Dasheng said: "Today, a case was submitted. It is about Tang Ning, the acting captain of the fifth team of the first team. He is suspected of killing Lin Quan, a disciple recruited by his team. The first team has arrested him."

"According to the regulations, cases tried by lower-level teams need to be reviewed by higher-level teams. This case was heard by the First Brigade, so it naturally needs to be reviewed by the alliance."

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

"What should I do, disciple? Master, please tell me." Pan Yuan immediately expressed his stance.

Fang Dasheng nodded: "The case is not that complicated. Tang Ning confessed to killing Lin Quan. The main point of controversy is whether Lin Quan stole the materials handed over to the sect. During the trial, Tang Ning insisted that Lin Quan was the mastermind behind the theft of materials. , but according to the investigation of the First Brigade, it is nothing.”

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

"To tell you the truth, Tangning, like you, was promoted to captain of the Fifth Squadron of the First Brigade through my personal recommendation. Based on my understanding of him, he does not seem to be an arrogant, domineering and wanton person. I think this case must be resolved." There’s an inside story.”

"Now many people in the alliance are watching my jokes. They are eager to convict and kill him as soon as possible. One can recommend their person to take over the position of captain of the fifth team, and the other two can use this as an excuse to attack me. Being unknown will damage my reputation in the league."

"The person in charge of investigating the case in the First Brigade is a close associate of Inspector He Lian, and the deceased Lin Quan is He Lian's brother. The reason why I put you in charge is because I am worried that someone will interfere with it."

"Uncle, please rest assured, this disciple understands what to do." Pan Yuandao.

"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 specific details of the case."

"yes."

"I have already reserved a spot for you in next year's Spirit Gathering Array. Once this is done, you can go directly to practice at the beginning of the year!"

"Thank you, uncle."

"Go!"

"Disciple, please retire." Pan Yuan stood up and walked out. Xu Mengyuan sent him outside the cave and returned to the room: "Master, judging from the attitudes of Hao Jianren and Sima Nianzu, they must intervene and will not give up. You How confident are you that you can protect Tang Ning?"

"Are you sure?" Fang Dasheng glanced at him and shook his head slightly: "You think too highly of me, the captain of the team, do you think I can abide by the sect's rules and regulations to keep him safe? If that's really the case, Hao Jian If Ren and Sima Nianzu casually file a complaint, I will have to step down. The best I can do is to make the best of the situation. "

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

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 do not have the right to convict. The decision-making power on what to do is not with me, but with the boss. The most I can strive for is It is to provide him with favorable evidence and suggestions for a lighter punishment at the conclusion of the case. As for the punishment the higher-ups will give him, it is not up to me.”

"Then do you think Tangning can still retain his position as captain? Will he be sentenced to jail?"

"Then it depends on how things develop. If the evidence is favorable and can prove that Lin Quan is the mastermind of stealing the elixir, then his death is deserved. In addition, the alliance finalizes the case and recommends a lighter treatment. If no one above deliberately targeted it , it should be impossible to go to jail. It is hard to say whether he can keep his position as captain. The sect has not yet completed the process. If he commits an offense at this time, he will most likely be deprived of his position as captain, plus a fine or fine. Confinement treatment.”

……………

In Pingling Mountain, in the meeting hall, Pan Yuan, Zhang Xian, and Xu Lin were sitting on the upper seats, questioning the disciples of the fifth team.

Outside the hall, two escaping lights shot out, revealing the figures of two people.

"I wonder which uncle from this department is here? A case is being interrogated in the inner room. Unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter." In front of the hall, a disciple came forward and bowed.

The leading man said: "I am Mo Xian of the Fourth Battalion of our headquarters, and he is Mo Chaoyang, a recruiter from the Fifth Team of the First Battalion. Regarding the case of Junior Brother Tang Ning, we have important evidence to present to the joint investigation team."

"Uncle Mo, please wait a moment. I'll go and report." The disciple pushed open the heavy stone door in front of the hall and entered the inner room. He saluted the three people above and said, "To the three uncles, there is Uncle Mo Xian of the fourth brigade outside." Recruiting monk Mo Chaoyang, who leads the First Brigade and the Fifth Brigade, is waiting for an interview, saying that he has important evidence about Tang Ning's case. "

"Invite them in quickly." Pan Yuan responded immediately, waving 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 outside.

"Junior Brother Pan, Junior Brother Zhang, Junior Brother Xu, I am Mo Xian of the Fourth Battalion. I learned that you were ordered by the alliance 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." Mo Xian held a piece of evidence in his hand. Turn it over, take out a note, point it towards it, and the words inside will come out.

………

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

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

"If there is anything else to discuss, just repeat what you said before."

"I'm a little worried. What if the alliance review team finds out that Lin Quan stole the elixir and we perjured ourselves? How about we take the initiative to tell the truth to the alliance review team?"

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

"Yes, we must not tell the truth, just follow the confession of the First Brigade."

"but I………"

Continuous sounds continued to come from the notes emitting dark green light, echoing in the hall, lasting for about a quarter of an hour, and finally stopped.

Before anyone could speak, Mo Xian took the lead and said: "Mo Chaoyang is my descendant. After perjuring himself that day, he felt quite uneasy, so he sent a letter to me. After I learned about this, I advised him to step back from the brink and collect relevant information. The evidence will be handed over to the joint investigation team, hoping that the merits can be exonerated, and I also ask the brothers to show their repentance and deal with him leniently. "

"Junior Brother Mo, don't worry, we will tell the alliance truthfully about this incident." Pan Yun looked at Mo Chaoyang and said, "Who is having this conversation?"

"Except for the juniors, the other people were the witnesses who witnessed Lin Quan stealing the elixir. We were worried that your sect would be held accountable, so we made perjury. In fact, we all witnessed Lin Quan stealing the elixir."

Pan Yuan looked at the two people beside him and said, "Do you two junior brothers have anything else you need to ask?"

Both men shook their heads.

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

Mo Xian and Mo Chaoyang turned and left. "

"Senior Brother Pan, it's getting late today. I think we'll stop here. How about we try again tomorrow?" Zhang Xian said.

Pan Yundao said: "We have just mastered the important evidence of this case. How can we wait for tomorrow? If Junior Brother Zhang feels tired, he can go and rest first. Just leave this place to me. Someone, go and get Chen Yun, Liao Fan and Zhang Xuanqian , Ye Xun, Ma Yong came one by one."

"Yes." A man below responded, stood up and left the hall.

Soon, Chen Yun entered from the outside, and the heavy stone door of the hall closed with a roar.

"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 lowered his head and said, "Senior, what do you need me to say from this junior?"

"Let me ask you, why did you go back on your word during the investigation of the First Brigade? Not only did you identify Lin Quan in front of Junior Brother Tang Ning as the mastermind of stealing the elixir, but then you said that it was because of Junior Brother Tang's intimidation. Did someone prescribe something to you? Conditions to induce you to say this? "

Chen Yun's eyes flashed: "I don't know what the senior said. The testimony I gave during the investigation by the First Brigade is indeed true. I identified Lin Quan in the meeting hall just to protect myself."

"Hmph." Pan Yun suddenly slapped the desk: "You are really stubborn. Up to this moment, you are still lying to the world. It seems that you can't shed tears without seeing the coffin. Come here, press him down and escort him back to the unit for serious punishment." Disposal.”

"Junior is wronged." Chen Yun's expression changed and he hurriedly said loudly.

"You still dare to cry out for injustice? You first conspired to seize the sect's supplies, and then gave false evidence to frame Junior Brother Tang Ning. Now you are still dishonest and talking nonsense. The crime cannot be pardoned."

Chen Yun hurriedly said: "Junior is not talking nonsense, senior please investigate clearly."

"Mingcha? Humph, do you think I'm deceiving you?" Pan Yun left a note on the desk, and the voice inside rang again.

Chen Yun's face suddenly turned ashen.

"What do you have to say? Mo Chaoyang has already explained everything, are you still stubborn? Now is a chance for you. If you don't explain truthfully, someone will naturally explain it. When the time comes, even if you want to say it, no one will listen. There are countless soul-searching techniques in the spiritual world. It is easy to get the truth. I just think that you are recruiting monks for this department. It is not easy to practice for many years. It has been a bit hard to help deal with the spiritual mine affairs over the years, so I can’t bear to use it on you. Do you want to give it a try?”

Chen Yun's face was expressionless, and Pan Yun's words had just finished. He knelt down with a pop and said tremblingly: "Junior knows his guilt."

"You haven't recruited them from the real situation."

Chen Yundao: "The junior did witness Lin Quan stealing the elixir. At that time, the junior and others were arranged by Senior Tang to load and unload the elixir on the Yuanling ship to inspect the elixir. It was the junior who first discovered that Lin Quan had stolen the elixir. The junior stopped him on the spot and attracted others. After paying attention, Lin Quan bribed and encouraged us."

"The junior also thought that stealing some of the tens of thousands of elixirs would not be discovered, so he was obsessed with it. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the inspection disciples of the brigade. After Senior Tang killed Lin Quan that day, what the junior said was indeed true. When the brigade arrived, During the investigation, senior Fan Zheng told the junior that if the matter was true, the junior would spend his life in prison, so the junior lied. "

"What did Junior Brother Fan Zheng tell you? Please tell me the details in detail." After Pan Yun finished speaking, Xu Lin immediately interrupted: "Wait a minute, you guys put Chen Yun down first and wait until you are called." Come in."

Pan Yun glanced at him and frowned slightly, but did not say anything to stop him.

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

Xu Lin said: "Senior Brother Pan, we are here to investigate Tangning's case. As for other matters, we should not get involved."

"What does Junior Brother Xu mean by this?"

"I don't think we should get too involved in the details of the trial of the First Brigade. Fan Zheng was ordered to act. Facing this group of stubborn people, it is understandable to use some means. To say the least, even if there is an act of inducing a confession, it is normal, as long as it is not It's not a violation of law to surrender, and our focus should be on Tang Ning's murder of Lin Quan, and the rest is not our concern."

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "What Senior Brother Xu said is reasonable. We should not interrogate too much about the details of the First Brigade's trial. Even if Junior Brother Fan Zheng has any problems, they should be reported to the Alliance and then the Alliance will order an investigation. We have no right to investigate and interfere privately.”

Pan Yundao: "The two junior brothers have misunderstood. I just want to know more about the whole case. I don't want to interfere with the details of the first team's trial."

Xu Lin then said: "Then there is no need to ask too much about the content of Junior Brother Fan Zheng's trial. One more thing, I suggest that during the later interrogation process, try not to have the First Brigade or Junior Brother Fan Zheng induce confessions. words to avoid misunderstandings and ambiguities.”
