Su Zhen raised her hand to play with the government officer's sword she had snatched earlier. The silver blade reflected her sharp eyes. She raised her brow slightly and flicked the blade with her fingers, making a clear and crisp sound.
"Oh? Not you? Then you mean that Captain Xu did all this, and you are just a pawn being used? It has nothing to do with you?"
"You're talking nonsense! How could my captain do such a thing!"
Xu Chong forcibly resisted the urge to kill Su Zhen, his mind was spinning, magnifying all the pros and cons. Just when he was hesitating whether to take it all, he heard Su Zhen turn to Xu Jing again.
"Captain Xu, Xu Lin has done all the bad things, so why do you have to cover up for him? One thing to say, today the prince and I are running around for the sake of my younger brother. To be honest, such a wicked person will deserve to die! Why?
It’s really disgusting for such a person to find a murderer! Not to mention that the person who killed him was not Tang Yinchen, even if it was him, he should be praised generously!"
Xu Jing was speechless, after all, what Su Zhen said was true.
Shangyu Chen coughed lightly and pretended to scold, "Zhen'er, be careful! Pay attention to your identity. You are a son of an official family, not a local rogue!"
In order to stop Su Zhen from saying any more, Xu Chong immediately faced the Crown Prince and King Qin, clasping his fists and saying, "Your Highnesses, Mr. Wu, I will be responsible for all the mistakes made, and it has nothing to do with the captain."
Wu Shilang felt his face hurt from being beaten. Fortunately, he had been helping Xu Jing before, so he asked impatiently, "What about those children?"
Xu Chong took a deep breath, "I was the one who killed them and dumped their corpses in the mountain to avoid future troubles."
"But why do you want to kill babies?"
He has been investigating this case for a long time. The recent serial murder cases include actors, actresses, women from good families, young children, and babies who have just reached full term... In short, they are all diverse, and there is no connection between them.
The murderer cannot be the same person, but I don't know why Lord Shangshu wanted to investigate this case together with the Xu Lin case.
"We just buried the bodies of the children on the mountain. The actor and the women were originally imprisoned in the mansion, but their bodies have disappeared one after another in recent days, and one even appeared inexplicably on the street last night. But the deaths of those babies,
I don’t know either.”
Su Zhen sneered and said, "Hey, are you abandoning your car to protect the commander? Mr. Wu, since the murderer you are tracking has confessed, you can handle it as you see fit."
Wu Shilang hesitated. Xu Chong would rather die than to be shaken before. Why did he plead guilty now? Could it be that he was really trying to protect others?
Shangyu Chen looked directly at Xu Jing, "Captain Xu, do you have anything else to say?"
Xu Jing pursed his lips lightly, and gradually tightened his grip on the weapon, "Xu Chong is not the real murderer."
Xu Chong stopped being secretive and hurriedly interrupted Xu Jing and made it clear, "Mr. Wu, a few days ago I was ordered to go out of the city to fight against bandits. On the way back, I met the widow Xie. I saw that she was very good-looking, so
Take someone up the mountain and kidnap her..."
Su Zhen sneered, "Raise prostitutes and actors, then kill them, rob those beautiful women, and then make beauty bowls to humiliate them? Xu Chong! How many heads do you think you can chop off?!"
"I killed those people!" Xu Chong insisted and would never let go.
"You are so loyal! Captain Xu, are you really worth it to exchange the life of your good brother for someone's reputation? Or do you really have the heart to use his life to save your own face?"
Xu Jing remained silent, Xu Chong's eyes were red, he pointed at her and shouted angrily, "Su Zhen! Shut up!"
Shangyu Chen pretended to be watching a good show and asked knowingly, "Xu Jing, what are you hiding?"
Seeing that Xu Jing remained silent, Su Zhen answered for him, "Your Highness, I said earlier that I would sue Captain Xu, but it was actually because I heard about the old man's grievances on the way here, so I went along and asked Master Wu to invite them here. , just restore the truth! As for Xu Chong, he is not the mastermind, he is just a knife used by someone to kill people. He insists on taking all the blame, and there is nothing I can do."
"You mean Xu Lin?"
"Yes! In fact, over the years, Xu Lin has been completely lost under the doting and protection of the old lady of the Xu family, and even committed all kinds of evil. And the person who is the culprit of all this is none other than his biological eldest brother Xu Jing!"
More than that, as Xu Chong said, the token... was indeed stolen by her and framed by Mo Sheng. Xu Chong acted cautiously and would never leave any clues. But his only weakness was stupidity. Zhong, if you want him to plead guilty, there is nothing better than dragging Xu Jing into the water.
As long as the two of them dare to show up, no one will be able to choose a clean slate! It would be best if they could overthrow Xu Jing by the way.
Xu Jing clenched his right hand tightly, revealing the ferocious veins on the back of his hand due to his anger.
Su Zhen continued, "I have sent someone to investigate. You two brothers grew up together, but your mother favored one over the other. She gave Xu Lin nine points of doting, but left you with endless pressure. I can't breathe under the pressure. No matter what mistakes he made, you have always been tolerant and patient. If things go on like this, he will be praised!"
She picked up a note from the ground and pointed the side with the writing towards the prince and others.
"Cao Ying was only twenty-eight years old, but she was brutally murdered by Xu Lin. Xu Chong! It was you who killed eleven members of her family! You led the imperial salary and slaughtered innocent people. Have you ever dreamed that they came to you to demand money? Life?!"
"Stop talking! I admit that it was all done by me and Xu Lin, and it has nothing to do with others." Xu Chong confessed to what Su Zhen said, "Xu Lin became notorious, and it was indeed instigated by me that he did what he did. So many bad things happened. He relied on the old lady's favor and never took the captain seriously. A few years ago, he was just jealous of the captain's new clothes, so he pushed the captain into an icy lake. Since then, the captain has suffered from old illnesses, and I have come to hate him."
"If you hate him so much, why do you keep hiding it?"
"The captain was concerned about his brotherhood and did not want me to kill him. The case of Cao Ying's family murder was also done by me on Xu Lin's orders, and the captain had no idea about it."
Xu Chong would rather die than let go of his confession and confess that it was Xu Jing who supported his brother in killing his brother, which caused such evil consequences. For the sake of Xu Jing's face, he wanted to bear everything for him.
Su Zhen guessed, "Last night you followed Xu Lin and saw that he was defeated by Tang Yinchen. So after he left, you not only killed Xu Lin while he was weak, but also used the most cruel method to make him a human pig. !”
"I didn't! I've confessed to so many murder cases, so why bother with another one like him!"
"You lied!"
Everyone did not expect that the person who spoke out was Qing Xuan, who had not said a word since entering the Criminal Department.
He walked out from behind Yu Ziye, saluted everyone and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, in fact, when my subordinate returned to investigate last night, he fought with a man in black. My martial arts skills were comparable to that of that man, but in a critical moment The opponent's shoulder was injured at the critical moment. Although he managed to escape, his injury must not have healed after just one night."
Shangyu Chen directly ordered, "Come here, take Xu Chong down to examine his injuries!"
"No need!" Xu Chong covered his shoulders, "I am indeed injured."
"Then you want to continue acting?" Yu Ziye yawned.
"I didn't kill Xu Lin! I wanted to kill him, but his life was too short, and he didn't even give me this chance! As for the murderer..." Xu Chong smiled sinisterly at Su Zhen, showing a sinister look, "
The murderer is Tang Yinchen! When I arrived, I happened to see him killing Xu Lin! So don’t waste your efforts trying to excuse him!"
Since Su Zhen wants his and the captain's lives! Then Tang Yinchen can't stay out of it!
"The room manager is here!" A strange and sharp voice suddenly sounded outside the door of the Criminal Department.
It's the emperor's father-in-law!
Yu Ziye and Su Zhen looked at each other. It's better to come early than to come by chance. These people have come together.
With such a big commotion, she wanted to see who else dared to bend the law for personal gain!
The house manager was followed by a group of young eunuchs. After entering, he saluted them one by one.
"Old slave, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Qin, Lord Yu, Master Gu, Captain Xu, and Young Master Su."
When Shangyu Chen faced him, the smile on his face became more genuine, "There is no need to be polite, house manager."
"His Royal Highness, the Emperor invites everyone to come to the palace to see you. Especially the eldest son of the Su family. The Emperor has said that he wants to see you very much!"
The manager of the house looked at Su Zhen up and down. Since leaving the palace, he found that the people's view of Su Zhen had changed. The wind had changed so quickly that all the insults had disappeared and turned into a chorus of praise.
"Really? Then You Ning is really lucky. Please ask the house manager to lead the way."
The house manager reminded, "Mr. Su, this palace is no better than outside. You must be careful in your words and deeds. If you say the wrong thing, you will lose your head!"
His skin is fair, his voice is soft when he speaks, and he raises his orchid fingers from time to time...
