The investigation of the case has now reached another bottleneck. Although the two thieves, Chunfeng and Guanyun, have revealed all the details of how they killed Meng Yan, their confessions were clearly written and signed,
But still can't count.
Everyone here is a sensible person, and they know that in such a major case, it is not true to rely solely on a confession and a bloody letter. If it is an ordinary small case, of course it can be convicted, but the Shang Sangong is involved.
Chen Shandao, Guo Hongjing, and even the two Hedao realm monks behind them will definitely not be able to do it.
There are no witnesses at the scene, no confirmed physical evidence, and not even the victim's body. How can this lawsuit be fought in front of Chen Shandao and Guo Hongjing?
People say back to you, "There is nothing to worry about under the circumstances." The two thieves said that if they retract their confessions in court, the matter will no longer be investigated. If the crime cannot be established, there will be no way to continue to take down Wang Shouyu. If Wang Shouyu cannot be taken down, there will be no way.
If you follow the clues to find out the dirty tricks of Shang San Palace, all previous efforts will be meaningless. And even if you catch Wang Shouyu, you may not be able to uncover the evil traces of Shang San Palace. Who can guarantee that Wang Shouyu will know the inside story?
So the key is to find the suspect that Dongji Pavilion has been pursuing for two years!
The focus of the conflict once again returned to the two thieves Chunfeng and Guanyun. Everyone was puzzled. They were obviously two weaklings who could attack easily, so why did they keep the key suspect secret?
Dongfang Li thought that he could go to the Liping area of Guizhou to find Miao Dong, a loose cultivator who knew about voodoo, and invite people to see if the two thieves had been bewitched or possessed by any evil spell. Because from their experience
Judging from the performance, there is a certain possibility.
Zhao Ran made a suggestion: "Since it is easy to kill people if they are tortured again, I suggest that the torture be suspended and the Liaodong method of boiling the eagle be used to mentally destroy the resistance of the two thieves."
After discussion, everyone decided to implement these two suggestions. The first step is to invite the monks from the Jiangma family in Guizhou to check it out. The two thieves will be temporarily immobilized for the next two days and let them recover for a few days. The second step is to
After the inspection, the two thieves showed no abnormality, so they were interrogated using the method of boiling an eagle.
As for the time wasted for this, there is no way to take care of it. I just hope that Shang San Gong will discover the disappearance of the two thieves as late as possible - this possibility is not small. After all, Shang San Gong does not have particularly strict rules.
In this place, two monks went out and didn't return for half a month, so it shouldn't cause too much alarm.
Dongfang Li was about to leave for Guizhou immediately. Before leaving, he told Zhao Ran not to leave the capital for the time being, but to be prepared to stay here for a month and actively cooperate with Wei Chaozong to handle this case.
One month? Zhao Ran thought that one month was probably impossible. It was hard to say whether it could be completed in two months. But after thinking about it, this was indeed the most important case in Sanqing Pavilion and Dongji Pavilion. Li Tianshi of Dongji Pavilion
, Mr. Zhao must have paid a lot of attention to it. Master Wu Tianshi of this pavilion is probably keeping a close eye on him at all times. It is reasonable for him to spend two months helping to handle the case.
At the end of the discussion, Zhao Ran asked a question: What is the attitude of Master Yu from Sanqing Pavilion towards this case?
This question was answered directly by Elder Zhuo. His answer was: I don’t know what attitude Yu Zhenren holds, and no one will ask. The answer is of little value. Therefore, the Xiu’an case is led by Dongji Pavilion, and the three
The West Hall of the Qing Pavilion is assisting from the side. The West Hall is under the jurisdiction of Wu Tianshi, so there is no need to report to Master Yu.
Zhao Ran nodded, this is a more appropriate solution, but in this way, Sanqing Pavilion has tied up a lot of hands and feet, which is a pity. It can also be seen from this that he did not win this position back then.
What a pity.
Back at Baoyue Villa, Linglu Yuyang had been waiting for him. After seeing him, he immediately followed him expectantly. Zhao Ran couldn't help but burst into laughter, patted his antlers and said: "Okay, you got your wish."
Now, Pindao will stay here for a month or two, during this time you can just follow Pindao."
Yuyang happily walked around in circles a few times, then came up and said, "Taoist priest, Xiaoxiu hasn't been to Yangzhou yet. I heard that Ya Xiaoqi and Hu Xiaojiu both mentioned Yangzhou, how about we go there?"
Want to play?"
Zhao Ran said: "That place has nothing to do with you. It is two different things from the good place you imagined. Do you understand?"
Yu Yang said: "It doesn't matter. We will split up when we arrive in Yangzhou. The Taoist priest will go visit your brothel, and Xiao Xiu will go find my thin horse..."
Zhao Ran interrupted angrily: "Do you think that a thin horse has something to do with you? This horse is not a different horse, do you understand?"
Yuyang pondered for a moment, but still persisted and muttered with a shy face: "Why doesn't it matter? It's just a little thinner, and it can fully support Xiaoxiu. Don't worry, Taoist priest, Xiaoxiu will never fall in love this time! Speaking of Jiangnan,
The customs are so weird that they can’t get rid of them once they talk about feelings. Is this still a demon cultivator? Where is there any trace of the unrestrained and forthright character of a demon cultivator..."
Zhao Ran sneered: "Oh, you are quite convincing! Pansi said you are uneducated, can I not see it?"
Yuyang said embarrassedly: "It's all because of your teachings, Taoist Master, and the good influence of my colleagues in the Zongsheng Hall..."
Zhao Ran kicked him on the butt: "Get out!"
Back in the room, I drank two bowls of hot soup made by the housekeeper of the villa. I felt much better. So I turned over and thought about the case again. I felt that the direction set by Dongji Pavilion was right. The rest is up to me.
The execution and attention to details are excellent. But he feels that the most difficult part of this case is not whether the key suspect can be found, but how to proceed after finding it.
According to the intention of the two pavilions, they are preparing to cut off the cancer of Xiu'an from the world, and at the same time take this opportunity to fight for the right to speak in the True Master Hall. But what if a great monk in the Hedao realm is directly involved behind it?
Well, this idea is actually quite inappropriate. As Taoist monks, even if they have different understandings of how to ascend, at least the moral bottom line should be there... Who knows?
I can't understand this problem. A small person like him, well, it seems that he can't be considered a small person. A monk like him who has not reached the realm of a big shot, even if he understands it, there is nothing he can do. He just doesn't think about it. Anyway, he is just assisting.
Isn’t it all just following orders?
So, Zhao Ran began to think about the fasting ceremony at Tianhe Palace in the past two months. After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered someone, so Fei Fu Rongniang said that he wanted to invite her to Tianhe Palace to host the fasting ceremony in these two months.
Rong Niang quickly replied, she said that I really don’t have time for this matter, and I don’t know how to do it. Why don’t you find someone to do the Zhaijiao on your behalf? Why don’t you just ask Maoshan Deyou to watch Lu Yuanyuan? He is a master at this.
, I went to Songfan and arranged a beautiful ceremony for you. Not only could the fasting ceremony be held well, but I could also stay in Songfan for two months, killing two birds with one stone!
Lu Yuanyuan heard that Zhao Ran was delayed by something and needed to stay in the capital for a while, so he readily agreed to Rong Niang's request and agreed to go to Tianhe Palace to host a few fasting ceremonies and asked Zhao Ran to tell her about the rituals to be performed.
Then Zhao Ran got busy and sent the planned rituals to Qu Feng and Fei Fu, asking them to go to Tianhe Palace to deliver a message to Bai Tengming.
