The old man smiled as he saw that all of them were silent: "All of you are related to Deacon Huey. According to our investigation, you are the most likely to want to kill Deacon Huey." Suddenly he called out a name.
A dark-skinned youth next to Dean shivered: "I, I didn't kill him. I really didn't."
The old man looked at him: "You don't have a wife or a daughter. Why did you go to the flower shop to buy roses on the night of the 25th?"
Dudian looked down at the table in front of him.
The young man named 'Bu Te' trembled slightly and said, "I, I …"
"Speak!" The old man suddenly shouted.
Dean and the others were shocked.
Bu shivered: "I wanted to buy flowers. I wanted to buy flowers for a girl I like. I have a crush on her."
The old man narrowed his eyes: "What is the girl's name?"
"Lu, Lucy," Bute said in a low voice.
The old man nodded slightly and waved his hand at a guard behind him, asking him to go out and investigate.
The old man didn't continue to ask questions after the guard went out. He looked at a middle-aged man who was also wearing a white robe: "Do a blood test."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and placed the box on the table. He opened the box and saw a bloody steel nail inside. He waved his hand to a nearby guard. The guard immediately handed over a bowl and a knife that had been prepared in advance.
"If you have read the newspaper then you should know that this is the main weapon that killed deacon Huey." The old man's eyes quietly swept over the faces of the five people: "But there is another kind of blood in addition to deacon Huey's blood. This blood is likely to be left by the criminal …" His eyes fell on Dudian.
Dean saw his expression and raised his eyebrows: "Are you suspecting me?"
"At present, the most suspicious person is you." The old man's face didn't have the previous gentleness. Instead, he showed a bit of hatred and sneer: "Three years ago, you committed theft and was imprisoned. This case was personally handled by Deacon Huey. Later, you escaped from Thorn Flower Prison. These steel nails were the torture tools in Thorn Flower Prison. You resented Deacon Huey's sentence. After you escaped from prison, you used these tools to stab Deacon Huey. This is a shameful revenge murder!"
Hearing his words, the four people next to Dean were stunned. They looked incredulously at Dean who was sitting side by side with them. Among them, the most shocked was the young man who spoke before. He saw that Dean was young and dressed in plain clothes. He thought that Dean was an ordinary civilian. He did not expect that he was a super criminal who escaped from the vicious Thorn Flower Prison!
Thinking of what he said before, his eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously moved to the left.
Dean calmly looked into the old man's eyes: "I was in prison when deacon Huey died. I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Hmph! Boy, don't play dumb! " The middle-aged man next to him said in a stern voice: "Do you really think that everyone in Thorn Flower Prison is a group of idiots? Now that the evidence is conclusive, do you think you can fool us? Now you should pray for the aristocrat who bailed you out. After the test is over, he will be listed as an accomplice. His family will be confiscated and his aristocratic status will be abolished! "
Dean stared at him coldly: "Before the results are verified, I hope you can shut your mouth. The magistrate relies on evidence, not mouth. Or did you receive money from someone to find a scapegoat?"
"Bastard, what did you say?" The middle-aged man angrily pointed at Dean.
Dean leaned back on the chair and looked at the old man in front of him: "Since you have the evidence, there is no need to talk nonsense. Start the verification so that everyone can have some peace of mind."
The old man coldly said: "You don't need to say much. We will verify it." He said to the middle-aged man: "Start."
The middle-aged man coldly looked at Dean: "Boy, the first one is you. Stretch out your hand!"
Dean stretched out his hand.
The middle-aged man saw that Dean suddenly became honest. He coldly snorted and lifted Dean's sleeves. Suddenly, he saw the dense whip marks and other scars on Dean's arm. He could even see the marks left by the fire. He could not help but slightly change his face.
The four people next to him also noticed the scars on Dean's hand. They could not help but take a deep breath. The countless scars made their scalp tingle.
"You deserve it!" The middle-aged man snorted. He cut a shallow mark on Dean's wrist with a knife. Blood seeped out and slipped into the small bowl.
The young man next to him secretly glanced at Dean. He saw that Dean's expression was as usual. He didn't even frown. He secretly sighed in his heart. At the same time, he said to the middle-aged man: "Elder, do you want to scrape the blood off the steel nail to see if it can merge with our blood?"
The middle-aged man glanced at him and said in a cold voice: "If the investigation didn't say that you have a motive to kill, with your IQ, I don't believe that you can commit murder."
The young man stared at him and said: "You, what do you mean?"
The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to him and waved to the outside.
After a moment, a knight came in with a palm-sized box. He put the box on the table and retreated.
The middle-aged man opened the box. There was a soft little insect lying inside. Its whole body was crystal clear. It was chubby and twisted slightly on the soft cotton pad inside the box.
"This is a homologous insect." The middle-aged man looked at Dean and smiled coldly: "The blood left on the steel nail has dried up. It can't be tested. But homologous insects can recognize the same blood. In addition to blood, they can also recognize other similar substances."
Then he handed the small bowl to the box.
The blood floating in the bowl exuded a faint smell of blood, and it quickly attracted the attention of the white and tender worm in the box. It crawled out of the box, and its many tiny crystal claws firmly grasped the smooth bowl. It stuck its head into the bowl and sucked the blood.
After the blood entered its body, its body became red.
The middle-aged man handed the bloody steel nail to the front of the insect. He looked at it nervously and expectantly.
The white and tender insect stood up and gently sniffed the steel nail. After a moment, it suddenly retracted its body and drilled into the box.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man was stunned.
The old man sitting opposite to Dean also changed his face: "Try again."
The middle-aged man reacted and once again handed the steel nail.
The white and tender insect didn't respond. It was lazily lying in the box and twisting its body.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man and the old man could not help but look at Dean. There were some doubts in their eyes. Although they had gathered five suspects, but the person they suspected the most was Dean. The blood on the steel nail was excellent evidence. However, now after verification, in addition to Huey's blood, the other one was not Dean's.
Besides him, who else could it be?
