A detailed search of Aunt Chang's residence and the entire Wuxiang Building was conducted again, but nothing was found.
After imprisoning Grandma Chang, Leng Hong sent people to investigate Grandma Chang, but nothing unusual was found.
According to the accounts of other people in Wuxiang House, Grandma Chang was never found to have had close contact with anyone.
Even if there is, it is only a regular guest.
After repeated interrogations, Grandma Chang still insisted on her statement, and the matter reached a deadlock.
Zhang Ke was a little confused. It is impossible for a person to do things without leaving traces.
After saying hello to Yu Hualong, he left Licheng at night without knowing where he was going.
On June 28, Zhang Kefeng came back quickly and informed Leng Hong that there was a result.
Leng Hong asked if the evidence was credible, and Zhang Ke repeatedly expressed his confirmation.
Leng Hong immediately summoned everyone to conduct a public interrogation of Granny Chang.
Then the family members of the victims were called one by one.
He also invited Ding Man and other people involved in the pursuit to accompany him in the interrogation.
Two days later.
The hall on the ground floor of the Jiuqujian Sect's Licheng Jianqi Chongxiao Building became the place for a temporary public trial.
The hall was large enough, with nearly a thousand people standing solemnly.
The family members of the victims asked anxiously from time to time because the impact of this incident was so bad. Thousands of people also gathered outside the door, blocking the way.
Leng Hong did not expect this situation to occur and felt a little stressed.
He didn't understand why Zhang Ke wanted to start the trial this afternoon, but it was too late to think about it now.
I raised my hand to look at my watch. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. I entered the lobby on the ground floor first. A stage was set up at the top so that the audience could see clearly.
First, take a seat in the middle of the public trial chair, with Timon and several prominent local people on both sides.
Zhang Ke stood aside, and the family members of the victims and bystanders stood opposite the public trial seat.
There was a space in the middle, and twenty Chongxiao Tower disciples separated the people on both sides.
I looked at the various people in the hall.
Leng Hong stood up and said loudly: "Everyone probably knows what happened today. There is no nonsense here. The trial will start soon, but..."
He glanced around sternly and said sternly: "You can talk in a low voice, but you are not allowed to ask questions without permission. If you violate the rules, you will be thrown out directly. Don't blame me for being merciless!"
"Take Chang Xiao'e!"
"Whoa~! Whoa~!"
There was a sound of shackles being dragged, and Chang Xiao'e was brought up.
She was still wearing the lavender dress, with no scars on her body.
His face was calm and slightly pale, and he walked to the open space in an orderly manner.
First he saluted both sides, and then said softly: "Chang Xiao'e has met you all!"
His soft voice made everyone feel good.
Leng Hong frowned as he looked at the low voices in the audience. This was not a good start.
He said directly: "Xiantian Yi Sect Zhang Ke, Aunt Chang is the person you confirmed to be related to the suspect. This case will be interrogated by you, and we are only responsible for supervision."
Zhang Ke glanced at Leng Hong with a half-smile, looking down on him and showing no sense of responsibility.
I ignored him and walked up to Grandma Chang.
He smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, let's chat!"
Chang Xiao'e sighed softly: "I am a fish and you are a knife, what can I do!"
Zhang Ke laughed: "Yeah! This makes some sense!"
Continue to ask: "Do you know why you are detained here?"
"I don't know!"
"Okay! Let me remind you, there is a villain who has been targeting pregnant women in recent years.
Killing people to take fetuses. Oh! It’s the opposite. They take the fetuses first and then kill people, and they take them alive. In the past few years, they have committed a lot of blood debts and killed 117 pregnant women.
Calculating one corpse and two lives, the death toll was over 234.
Because there are pregnant women with multiple fetuses, this heartless beast is called Guan Shu, do you know him?"
Chang Xiao'e couldn't help but trembled and whispered: "I don't know him!"
"Oh! Then why are you shaking?"
"."
"It's a bit surprising that someone can act so cruelly!"
Chang Xiao'e tried her best to smile and explained.
"Well, I didn't expect that Aunt Chang, who had been in the dust for so many years, couldn't look down upon this person's behavior.
Then we should cooperate to catch Guan Shu as soon as possible!"
"If there is any news about the thief, we must report it!"
"Does Grandma Chang really not know Guan Shu?"
"do not know!"
"I'm a little curious about something and would like to ask Grandma Chang to answer it?"
"Please tell me everything you know!"
"Aunt Chang has already cultivated to the realm of innate defense at such a young age.
Seeing the promise of golden elixir, don't think about seeking resources to achieve a real person.
On the contrary, I am giving alms in the flesh in this secular place, and I heard that there are many guests who come to the ceremony. Why is this, please tell me?"
The sharp words were direct and clear, and Leng Hong and others also woke up.
As a practitioner, I see that Chang Xiao'e is only fifty years old and has already reached the perfection of maintaining a realm, and may break through at any time.
At such an important moment, we have to stay in this secular world for several years.
There is indeed something fishy about it, so let’s see how she responds.
Chang Xiao'e also knows that this question is difficult to answer. They are all practitioners, and ordinary excuses are difficult to convince.
While I was thinking about it, I heard Zhang Ke say again: "And this is so close to the Jianqi Chongxiao Tower of the Jiuqu Sword Sect. What are you trying to detect by hiding your cultivation?"
Leng Hong was startled and slapped the table with a "snap" sound.
He said sternly: "Tell me! Could it be that you belong to the death realm of which sect?"
Grandma Chang knew that she couldn't do anything if she didn't tell her. If she didn't speak, she might be labeled as a spy.
Sighing: "I said!"
He paused and said, "I am a casual cultivator, and I have been struggling in the cultivation world in the past.
Later, I got tired of it. When I passed by Licheng, I fell in love with the simple people and beautiful scenery here, so I settled here.
My skill is special and I need to improve my realm through dual cultivation, so I opened this Wuxiang Tower.
Because I want to make a break with the past, I hide my cultivation and live here for a long time."
Mo Yunfan was listening in the audience, stabbed Yu Hualong with his hand and whispered: "Do you believe it?"
Yu Hualong muttered: "It's not unreasonable. Sometimes I also want to find a place to spend the rest of my life!"
Zhang Ke nodded after hearing this: "I see, it seems that I am asking about Meng Lang! The exercises are personal privacy, so I won't ask."
"By the way! Do you have anything else to ask?"
"Why do you look similar to Guan Shu? Is Guan Shu a relative of yours?"
"I left home when I was young, so I don't know much about it!"
After Chang Xiao'e answered cleverly, she asked, "In addition to what you just said, does Guan Shu have any other crimes?"
Zhang Ke frowned: "I have insulted pregnant women many times before retrieving the fetus!"
Chang Xiao'e looked at Zhang Ke and asked: "Now that I have proven my innocence and I don't know Guan Shu, why are you still detaining me here?"
The audience immediately started talking, feeling that Chang Xiao'e was right.
Zhang Ke looked at Chang Xiao'e intently.
After a moment, he said: "You are right. If you prove your innocence and don't know Guan Shu, then you should really be let go."
And I have to apologize to you, after all, you have been wronged."
Chang Xiao'e shook her head and said: "That's not necessary. After all, you are also eager to solve the case. It is inevitable to arrest the wrong person!"
Zhang Ke laughed and continued: "If we arrested the wrong person, we should let you go, but unfortunately, we did not arrest the wrong person."
Pointing at Chang Xiao'e, her voice was not loud.
His tone was categorical: "You are Guan Shu! The one who raped pregnant women, removed fetuses and killed people, and committed hundreds of crimes.
It has caused hundreds of families to be torn apart, and thousands of people will never be able to escape the pain of the beasts in this life!"
"."
The whole place was in an uproar, and everyone was stunned.
There was silence in the hall at first, and then the quarrels reached the roof.
Leng Hong and others all looked at Zhang Ke in stunned silence.
Is this man crazy? Does he understand what he just said?
Chang Xiao'e couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hahaha! You made me laugh so hard. Do you know what you are talking about?"
She sternly said: "Zhang Ke! I don't know what your opinion is of me, you keep targeting me.
In Wuxianglou, you pointed out that I knew Guan Shu, and now you said that I am Guan Shu!"
She laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Just now you said that Guan Shu was guilty of raping pregnant women.
But I am a woman, why should I commit adultery? Can you lend me the tools to commit the crime?"
The audience burst into laughter, looking at Zhang Ke as if he were watching a joke.
Zhang Ke just watched quietly, and the laughter gradually stopped and became silent.
Zhang Kecai said to Chang Xiao'e: "You have always been so calm, why are you laughing suddenly now?"
He said every word: "Are you feeling guilty? I was right, and you are a little panicked. You are covering yourself up with laughter!"
Chang Xiao'e said: "I'm just laughing at you to see how you slander me!"
After saying that, I couldn't help but look up at the clock hanging on the ground floor.
Zhang Kehu said: "What are you looking at?"
Chang Xiao'e forced a smile: "Look at the time, I think this farce should be over!"
Zhang Ke chuckled and said: "Yes! It's time to end!"
After saying that, he walked a few steps outside and faced the people waiting in the audience.
Slowly he said: "This world is very strange. All kinds of things can happen. Let me tell you something!"
"There is a very strange creature in nature that is neither an animal nor a plant.
In the summer, it is just a grass, but when the weather turns cold, it will undergo a magical change and turn into a worm that burrows into the soil.
When the next spring it turns into a plant and grows again, this magical creature is called Cordyceps sinensis!
I don’t know if anyone has heard of it!”
"Oh! Never heard of it, is it so magical?"
"I know, there is this kind of thing in my hometown, and the drug store charges a high price!"
"."
Leng Hong was thoughtful, but he couldn't turn around. He felt that the truth was on his lips, but he couldn't say it out.
Zhang Ke continued: "A few days ago, I went to the place where Guan Shu committed the crime and after questioning,
I discovered something, so I conducted some further investigation, do you want to hear it?"
Chang Xiao'e's face didn't look good and she ignored the words.
Zhang Ke continued: "Through my visits and investigations, I found that in all places where there have been cases of missing pregnant women, there are also other cases happening at the same time, that is, many young people are also missing!"
Zhang Ke emphasized: "Man!"
"This aroused my curiosity and I found that every time a pregnant woman disappeared, a man would disappear the next day.
It's just that most of these young men are beggars and homeless bums, so they don't attract attention."
"So I checked again when the pregnant woman disappeared.
I found that it is usually the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, so what is the mystery of this time?
Fortunately, I always like to study all kinds of essays and interesting things, and I remembered something!"
Zhang Ke turned the Rubik's Cube in his hand and walked slowly back and forth in the hall.
"About six hundred years ago, a strange man appeared in the spiritual world, named: Mr. Yin Yang!"
Thank you for your monthly ticket. This is the second time I have received it. Thank you for your encouragement!
