"careful!"

Two screams came from the mouths of Liu Nai and Jiang Baotou respectively. Shen Xiaojia turned around quickly and looked at the scissors stabbing him in shock. He couldn't help but froze in place. By the time he tried to avoid it, it was already too late.

A blood-red fountain shot out.

A killing stick swept across.

boom!

The mute girl who was knocked away by the killing stick and Shen Xiaojia, who had scissors stuck in her chest, fell to the ground at the same time. Both of them were covered in blood, and both of them were from the same kind of blood, blood spurting from Shen Xiaojia's chest.

Jiang Captou glanced at Shen Xiaojia, stared at the mute girl with cold eyes, and said with a gloomy expression, "I have long noticed that something is wrong with you, but I didn't expect that you would take advantage of it and dare to show off your evil in the court.

Who gave you the courage!"

The mute girl did not respond to Captain Jiang's question. She looked down at the blood on her hands and laughed heartily with tears streaming down her face.

Shen Xiaojia covered the bleeding spot on his chest, looked at the mute girl with dull eyes, and asked with a pale face, "Why?"

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Yu Baichi's mouth, who was kneeling on the left side of the courtroom. He slowly stood up, unfolded the gold-leaf folding fan again with a clatter, and flipped the hanging hair on his forehead, "Let me tell you why..." Pointing to

Looking at Shen Xiaojia, he said in a cold tone, "Because you are the murderer who killed old man Xie from the fireworks shop and Ma Zhi, the policeman!"

There was an uproar inside and outside the courtroom. Although many people hated Yu Baichi, their first thought was that Yu Baichi was talking nonsense, but looking at the mute girl's expression, they couldn't help but start to waver in their hearts.

"I wanted to tell the truth just now, but there is no room for any other voice in this court. Sure enough, the officials are protecting each other and not giving ordinary people any way to survive..." Yu Baichi shook his head and sighed, "Well, since this mute

Girls dare to speak out fearlessly. Yu has been studying the books of sages for decades, so he should not be afraid of power and stand up!"

Liu Nai quietly glanced at Shen Xiaojia's gesture hidden behind him, turned to look at Yu Baichi, frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I have always done things honestly and will never be partial or shielding! Ruoer and others have their reasons and evidence.

, I will deal with it impartially, and no matter who the murderer is, he will be brought to justice!"

"My Lord's words are enough, but before I tell the truth that I know, I still have a few words to say..." Yu Baichi walked up to the three corpses in the right corner of the court hall, pretending to mourn.

After a while, he said leisurely, "Earlier, the little catcher was very eloquent and told everyone a quite wonderful story. I listened with great interest, but I also have three questions. Please help the little catcher to answer my questions!"

"The first question is, there are three corpses here. Generally speaking, when trying a case, shouldn't the cause of death of the three corpses be explained first? Did you not investigate clearly, or did you avoid it deliberately? If you did not investigate clearly, then it means that you

You are so stupid and incompetent that you dare to go to court for trial without even knowing how the deceased was killed. Aren't you afraid of wronging a good person? If you deliberately avoid it...could there be some ulterior secret involved? "

"The second question is, is there any evidence for what Detective Xiao Jia just said? If there is no evidence, it is too arbitrary to say that the old priest is the real culprit and wants to steal the Fang family's secret recipe for making ink? Old?

I can still trust the priest. He has worked diligently to organize festivals to pray for the people of Yuecheng over the years. He is such a kind-hearted and kind-hearted old man. How could he do such crazy things? To take a step back, even if it is true.

What Detective Xiao Jia said is that all this is caused by the old priest, so what does it have to do with our city lord who loves his people like his own son?"

"The third question is that in the case of the fireworks shop, a discerning person would know at a glance that someone was setting fire to commit murder, but there was no evidence left at the scene. I heard from several diners of the City Lord's Mansion two days ago that they said that it was the scene of an arson attack that day.

Bijie once fought against a masked man. Although the man was covered with a gauze scarf, he still showed some characteristic points, such as half-black and half-white hair... Saibijie is the most important route from the fireworks shop.

First, I don’t need to say more about the rest. You can use your imagination... So, I would like to ask Detective Xiao Jia, within an hour after the explosion of the fireworks store on the eighth day of July, what were you doing?

Where? What are you doing? Is there any witness?"

Yu Baichi squinted his lips, walked towards Shen Xiaojia step by step, narrowed his eyes and said, "Come on, Xiaojia, please make up the story before you look for a scapegoat. Otherwise, aren't you insulting our intelligence? And...

You should also put bright spots on your eyes, and don't bite anyone you catch. There are some people you can't bite, and if you insist on biting them, you will only break your own teeth!"

Shen Xiaojia took a few deep breaths, held himself up, and responded with difficulty, "I thought it was some valuable question, but I didn't expect it was just some trivial and superficial superficial... That's right, with your level of intelligence.

That’s all I can think of. Since you asked humbly, I will tell you with great mercy!”

"First question, both Fang Qilan and her maid died in the same way, suffocated. The reason why I didn't explain the cause of death at the beginning is just because there is information about the murderer hidden in it. I want to explain it at the end.

It was you, a wild dog, who suddenly jumped out and interrupted my rhythm..."

"The second question seems very idiotic. If I don't have evidence, how can I dare to stand in this court? As for the old priest's character... Haha, the people of Moon City have a strong balance in their hearts. Don't insult the honest and kind-hearted person.

That's it. Who raised the old priest's dog and who was he running errands for? This is something everyone knows very well. Later I will tear off that fig leaf and show everything they have to do to the world.

Show everything and show no mercy!"

"The third question, have the disciples you mentioned seen the face of the masked man? To identify a person based on his hair alone is arbitrary! How dare you make false claims without knowing the full picture? How ignorant! And about me

His whereabouts... are naturally traceable, and I have more than one witness, all the 17 shops and vendors in Feixue Lane from beginning to end can testify for me!"

Shen Xiaojia coughed twice and sneered, "How about...is my answer satisfactory?"

"It's true that there are two official words, no matter how you say it, it makes sense..." Yu Baichi put away the folding fan with a snap, held the folding fan in his right hand and patted the palm of his left hand a few times, "If I didn't know the truth of the matter, I would have almost been killed by you.

Just deceive the past. That’s all, since you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin, then I will let you give up completely!” He turned to look at Liu Nai, bowed slightly and asked, “Master Liu, I have a question to ask Master Liu,

Please tell me the truth, Mr. Liu!"

Liu Nai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said expressionlessly, "Although it is said that I am always honest and I never use lies to deceive others."

"Okay then..." Yu Baichi glanced at Liu Nai with a strange look on his face and coughed lightly, "Yu's question is... who is the bookkeeper of the July and July God Festival?"

"Catch Ma Zhi quickly."

"I'm asking about the original book office... As far as I know, Ma Zhi is temporary and part-time, and someone else was appointed at the beginning."

"Originally, the clerk of the office for those days was part-time, but he couldn't come because of some personal matters..."

"Private matters?" Yu Baichi curled his lips and said, "Since Mr. Liu is too embarrassed to explain, let me pierce this layer of paper... Three days before the festival started, Wu Zuo was arrested by Xiao Jia and was so angry that he complained.

It’s my hometown. And Ma Zhi was also the one who was on duty as the bookkeeper before Wu Zuo. There are a lot of intriguing things in this.”

Shen Xiaojia scratched his neck and said angrily, "What an intriguing thing, stop talking nonsense..."

"Look, I've hit your sore spot!" Yu Baichi poked Shen Xiaojia's chest with a folding fan and said proudly, "Next, I will also tell you an interesting story..."

"On the first day of July, Ma Zhi, who also serves as the book office, went to the ink-making workshop to communicate with the Fang family about the festival. He originally thought it was just a formality like previous years. Unexpectedly, something happened in the middle... This change was what Ma Zhi said at that time.

He also brought another person into the ink-making workshop, and this person is Agent Xiaojia!"

"It is inevitable for young people to have a moment of spring, and so does Agent Xiao Jia... When passing by Fang Qilan's boudoir, Agent Xiao A accidentally caught a glimpse of Fang Qilan's beautiful face, and was instantly obsessed. But he knew in his heart that the relationship between himself and Miss Fang's family was

There was a huge gap, so he came up with a plan to find a Yaksha who had a grudge against the old priest, and persuaded him to warn the Fang family. Then he would stand up and make suggestions for the Fang family, so that the Fang family would step into his trap. In this way

Then he can be a hero to save the beauty, take Miss Fang's daughter as his own, and blame everything on the old priest. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone!"

"It's a pity that after the ceremony, Miss Fang didn't fulfill his wish and refused to obey... So he kept doing it and killed Fang Qilan again in the same way as he killed the maid. Later, because he was worried about Zeng and him

Ma Zhi, who entered the ink-making workshop together, said some things that he shouldn't have said, and planned to blow up Ma Zhi and the old man Xie who helped him make moonlight... This was not the end of it. He was afraid that Mr. Fang would discover some clues and poison him again.

The Fang family is full of hundreds of people!"

Yu Baichi turned around and faced the crowd of onlookers outside the courtroom, pretending to be sad and indignant, "The police officers in the government office committed murders and arson, committed all kinds of evil, and tried to cover up the truth and find someone to blame... It's simply outrageous!" He clapped his hands and said,

He shouted loudly, "Come here, bring the physical evidence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of men in black carried corpses into the court hall, and piled them up in the center of the lobby. Although each corpse was covered in bloodstains, their faces were all black, as if they had been poisoned.

appearance.

"These are the more than 300 people in the ink-making workshop who were brutally murdered..." Yu Baichi moved to the mute girl's side, took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve, and gently wiped the tears on the mute girl's face.

She said softly, "Girl, are you willing to help me testify who is the murderer of your grandpa?"

The mute girl sniffed, stretched out her finger, pointed at Shen Xiaojia tremblingly, and screamed with a miserable look on her face, "Abba!"
