"Sir... Sir!?" Qiu Yongnian looked at the heavy chains on his body and asked Cai Kun in shock, "What does this mean?"
"Huh!" Cai Kun snorted coldly and said, "You are so smart, why can't you guess it?
"Xu Zun is a criminal in a serious case, but I blindly cooperate with him and accommodate him. He can do whatever he wants and say what he wants.
"Don't you think it's strange at all?"
"This..." In an instant, Qiu Yongnian seemed to understand something, and there was a rare fear in his eyes.
"As the saying goes, cleverness leads to mistakes!" Xu Zun said to Qiu Yongnian, "Do you really think that just by saying 'I am the number one scholar' I am convinced that you are a fake county magistrate?
"Humph, in order to frame Mr. Shen, you did not hesitate to set up such a huge and complicated plan, and you have indeed worked hard.
"However, precisely because your plan is too huge and complicated, it has become your Achilles' heel!" Xu Zun pointed at the people captured in the distance, "These people are your loyal minions and are responsible for this huge plan. an integral part of it.
"But I feel that when it comes to a real life-or-death situation, they will become a burden to you!"
"You..." Qiu Yongnian shouted angrily, "I have already said that these people have nothing to do with me! You can't continue to make endless accusations like this, you..."
Unexpectedly, Xu Zun ignored Qiu Yongnian's reaction. Instead, he turned back, supported Shen Tiande and said:
"Father, there are too many people here. Don't touch you later. You should just watch the show aside!"
With that said, under Xu Zun's arrangement, all the servants of the Shen Mansion were taken out of the courtroom, leaving only the Shen father and daughter and Huo Anu.
At this moment, almost everyone thought that the vacated area was for those who had just been arrested to appear in court for trial.
Unexpectedly, as the door curtain inside the court hall was raised, another group of people came out from inside!
Surprisingly... someone else came out of it?
Everyone looked at the door in surprise, feeling like the waves of people coming out of the door curtain today were like magic.
Everyone thought there would be no more surprises, but when the last wave of people appeared, the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.
But I saw that the leader was tall, dark-skinned, and wearing a county police officer’s uniform. It was the head catcher—Zhao Yu!!!
Behind Zhao Yu, a group of prisoners who were shackled with heavy shackles were brought in.
The reason why it is called "a string" is because they are all tied by an iron chain.
There were four prisoners in total. They were in terrible condition, with disheveled hair, bruised noses and swollen faces, blood oozing from both feet, and missing fingers. There was even one at the back who was missing half of his leg and could only jump around. It looked extremely scary.
"ah!?"
After seeing these prisoners, Qiu Yongnian was deeply shocked, and his face finally showed unconcealable horror.
"Zhao Yu, the head catcher of Xinye County, has met all of you!"
Zhao Yuli thought carefully, first clasping fists and saluting Cai Kun and other officials, and then saying hello to Shen Tiande and Xu Zun.
"Zhao Yu... this..." County Prime Minister Luo Wanwan asked in confusion, "Where have you been for most of the day? What's going on with these people?"
"Ouch," because Luo County Cheng hid in a corner, Zhao Yu only saw him after hearing him speak, and quickly clasped his fists, "Luo County Cheng, you are here too!"
"Huh?" Luo Xian Cheng had already recognized the prisoners and said in surprise, "Isn't this...isn't...that person?"
When Luo Xian Cheng said this, everyone's eyes fell on these prisoners.
"Kneel down!" Zhao Yu kicked these people to the ground, and then called out their names one by one, "This is the county police officer Bai Xiaolong, this is the county police officer Lu Qing, this is the jailer Ji Sheng, this is the jailer
Wei Zuoyan."
"He...how could they become like this?" Luo Xian Cheng asked again, "They...what happened to them?"
"How are you, fake?" Xu Zun suddenly said to "Qiu Yongnian", "Do you understand now? The answer has actually been known for a long time. Mr. Cai and I just want to appreciate your superb acting skills!
"
"Everyone!" Zhao Yu took out a stack of papers from his arms and said to everyone, "After investigation, these people are the accomplices of the Iron Coffin case. Through our secret interrogation, they have confessed the criminal facts of the Iron Coffin case.
.
"The culprit of the whole case is this man!" He pointed at Qiu Yongnian who was chained, "He is not Qiu Yongnian at all!"
ah!!?
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
"Hehehe, yes," Cai Kun said with a smile, "We thought that when those neighbors appeared on the stage, you wouldn't be able to continue acting!
"I didn't expect that you actually worked so hard that we had to play the last trump card."
"Huh..." At this moment, Qiu Yongnian exhaled heavily and said to Zhao Yu with a fierce look on his face, "Zhao Yu, have you been bribed by them too?"
"Buy?" Zhao Yu smiled slightly, "Magistrate Qiu, as a county police chief, when people around me are replaced by people of unknown origin, do you really think I will turn a blind eye?
"But I know very well that curiosity killed the cat, and I happened to meet a confused county captain, so I can only swallow my anger."
"Quick, show me quickly..."
At this time, the governor Li Yan asked Zhao Yu for the papers, but he saw that the confessions written on them were all confessions of these prisoners.
Since there were several copies of the confession, Chen Taiji and Tai Min also picked up one each and looked at it.
After reading it, the three adults were shocked and looked at Qiu Yongnian opposite with angry eyes!
"Let me introduce you to you," Xu Zun came up behind one of the prisoners and introduced, "This man is called Bai Xiaolong, and he is one of the subordinates placed by the fake Qiu Yongnian in the police force.
"In this case, he played a vital role, that is..." Xu Zun pointed at the Taoist priest's body, "He wanted to connect the body of the real Qiu Yongnian with the Japanese assassin who assassinated the Queen Mother.
"As for how they are connected, let him tell himself!"
"Speak quickly!" Zhao Yu kicked Bai Xiaolong hard.
Bai Xiaolong shuddered and hurriedly knelt down and said: "On that day, we deliberately let out the news about the Immortality Temple and lured the police to investigate the Immortality Temple.
"After entering the ruins of Changsheng Temple, I put the jade pendant among the ashes, and then deliberately pretended that I found the jade pendant from the ashes..."
"Ah!?" Mrs. Chen was shocked and asked quickly, "In other words, you brought that jade pendant? Who gave you the jade pendant?"
"Yes... um... yes..." Bai Xiaolong glanced at Qiu Yongnian timidly, but still raised his arms and said, "That's him!"
"Is it really you!?" Chen Taiji asked loudly, "Tell me quickly, how did you get that jade pendant? What is your relationship with the Japanese assassin?"
"Slander, pure slander..." Qiu Yongnian's eyes were fierce and he gritted his teeth.
"Fake," Xu Zun yelled, "do you think I was really expressing my feelings by making a scene in Huaxianglou like a mad dog a few days ago?
"I'm not just avoiding your sight, I'm actually looking for clues!
"Huangtian paid off. In Huaxianglou, I found important clues that allowed me to confirm two things at the same time:
"First, You Dalang's backstage may be you; second, the head-catcher Zhao Yu is not one of your people!"
"You Dalang...'s backstage?" Qiu Yongnian narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, one time You Dalang made a mistake while drunk in the arms of the girls, saying that he had a backer who could ensure that his business was prosperous and that he would make a profit without losing money, and that he would take him to do bigger deals in the future." Xu Zun
Said, "My analysis is that if this person can lead him to do bigger business in the future, it means that this person is likely to be promoted in the future.
"So, I suspect that this person is most likely you, because you are a Jinshi Hanlin, and your future promotion is inevitable.
"You are very likely to be the instigator behind You Dalang!
"As for the head-hunting Zhao Yu..."
"Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it, sir..." Zhao Yu's face turned red with anxiety.
"On the night when the Iron Coffin case occurred, I sent Zhao Yu to Huaxianglou to investigate the whereabouts of You Dalang's deposits," Xu Zun said without reservation.
I stayed drunk all night at their place, so I eliminated the suspicion."
"It's over..." Zhao Yu covered his face, ashamed...
