You lied.
That was the Ministry of Justice's prison. Ordinary people naturally couldn't enter or leave.
Seeing that the Capital Governor was in a difficult position, Ji Yunshu continued, "Although he admitted to killing people and told us where he hid the corpses, there are still some things that I feel he didn't explain clearly."
"Didn't explain clearly?" The Capital Magistrate was puzzled. He pondered and said, "Didn't he already say that he killed those people because Mei Xiang 'er was humiliated? He also explained that he put the corpses together with the pork and transported them out of the city. The young lady of the Ruan Family fled to Mount Liang and the white cloth was indeed Gan Chuliang's. Didn't he explain all of this clearly? As for what Teacher said about the order of chopping off the hands and skinning the skin, perhaps he killed too many people, so it's possible that he misremembered. "
The Capital Governor's words weren't without reason.
However, with Ji Yunshu's sensitivity, she was unable to unravel the string in her heart from beginning to end.
She sighed.
"In short, there are still some ambiguities. Any case needs to be investigated thoroughly before a verdict can be made. Capital Governor, let me go see him. I am more familiar with this case than anyone else."
"This …"
It wasn't that the Capital Governor didn't want to take her, but he was a fourth-ranked official. The Ministry of Justice also had a first-ranked Minister of Justice and a second-ranked Assistant Minister of Justice.
However, since things had already progressed to this point, the Capital Governor had no reason to refuse.
"Alright, I will take you to the Ministry of Justice's prison."
'He agreed!'
After the two of them arrived at the Ministry of Justice's prison, the Capital Governor took the order and secretly brought Ji Yunshu inside without letting the jailer inform the Minister of Justice and Assistant Minister of Justice.
The Ministry of Justice's prison was different from the other prisons in the various districts. Although it was still dark and stuffy inside with oil lamps illuminating every cell, it wasn't disgusting or smelly.
Moreover, the prison was spacious. Lettuce juice was sprinkled on the two corners of each cell to remove the smell.
The difference between a big city and a small city was so small that even the prison cells were different!
When they arrived outside Gan Chuliang's cell, they saw him sitting cross-legged against the cold wall. His white prison clothes were stained with blood and had been torn by countless whips.
It seemed that the interrogation method of the Ministry of Justice could not be exempted from torture!
His fluffy and messy hair covered his cold and stubborn face.
The Capital Governor stepped forward to take a look. "We don't have much time. If you want to ask, then hurry up and ask."
"En!"
Ji Yunshu slowly walked forward and stood outside the cell door. She used her hand to lightly knock on the wooden pillar a few times.
The muffled sounds reached Gan Chuliang's ears, but he remained indifferent.
"I know you can hear me, and I know you're listening."
After saying that, Gan Chuliang finally raised his head. His bloodshot eyes fiercely looked over.
He did not feel the slightest bit of fear!
"Who … are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am. I only came here to ask you a few questions. "
He smiled, and the wound at the corner of his mouth suddenly split open, and blood flowed out.
"I've already said everything I need to say. I know everything you want to know. I killed them. I killed them all." His voice was hoarse.
"Is Mei Xiang 'er worth it for you to do this?"
Hearing this name, he slightly raised his eyes and confidently replied, "Of course it's worth it. Xiang 'er is a good and kind-hearted girl. In this world, no one can compare to her. But she shouldn't have to endure those things. She shouldn't …"
'Shouldn't?
Is he referring to the matter of being humiliated? '
Ji Yunshu simply crouched down and asked him with a solemn expression, "In the end, what is your relationship with Mei Xiang 'er?"
"There's no relationship. There's no relationship at all. She doesn't know that I like her. She also doesn't know that I killed them. She doesn't know anything …" He repeated it over and over again.
His tone carried a hint of regret.
Ji Yunshu coldly looked at him, her thin lips indifferently spilling out a sentence.
He boldly met Ji Yunshu's gaze and asked, "Gan Chuliang, did you really kill them?"
As soon as the question came out, Gan Chuliang smiled and boldly met Ji Yunshu's gaze.
He said, "I've already admitted it. I've also signed my name."
"Were you forced to confess?"
"I admitted it myself." His answer was very straightforward.
Ji Yunshu unhurriedly took out the confession book. She unfolded it in her hand and faced it towards him.
"Good. Then I'll ask you again. When you killed Miss Ruan, did you first cut off her hands and skin her face? Is that right?"
"Yes!"
"But I've examined the corpse. It was clear that the skin on her face was peeled off before her hands were cut off."
Gan Chuliang scrutinized her. "Are you a coroner?"
"I can't be considered one. But since I said it, I naturally have my reasons. You only need to answer my question."
"I've killed so many women. How could I remember everything clearly? First, I skinned them, then I cut off their hands. In any case, I killed them. "When he said this, the corner of his mouth was tinged with a smile.
It was as if he was prepared to die!
But his expression suddenly sank. He held onto his anger and continued, "As long as I can protect Xiang 'er, I can do anything. I'm also willing to do everything for her. Those women deserve to die. How can they be more beautiful than my Xiang' er? What right do they have to humiliate her again and again? "
"Even so, you shouldn't have killed them." Ji Yunshu said.
"Those people deserve to die, don't they?" He raised his eyebrows. He felt that his words were very reasonable.
The malevolence on his face was gradually revealed.
"Then why … did you still rape those women?"
Gan Chuliang's gaze fiercely rose. His expression showed a trace of nervousness.
But it was still seen by Ji Yunshu.
That kind of nervousness, evasiveness, and even a guilty conscience.
After a while, he said, "Isn't it said that a woman's chastity is the most important? Not only did I want them to die, but I also wanted them to taste the feeling of living a life worse than death. Moreover, I also soaked their chopped hands in lard and brought them to a restaurant for people to eat. They all said it was delicious and ordered it every time they came. But one time, I forgot to soak the human flesh in lard. As a result, many customers returned their dishes that day. "
After he finished speaking, he also laughed a few times in a perverted manner.
'Disgusting!'
Ji Yunshu's stomach churned.
The meat she and Wei Yi ate that day was indeed human flesh!
Her brows slightly wrinkled. She endured the nausea in her chest and slowly got up.
She said, "Do you know what you are saying?"
"Of course I know."
Gan Chuliang's gloomy eyes looked up. In the next moment, he stood up from the ground and walked towards Ji Yunshu.
Suddenly, he grabbed Ji Yunshu's arm and pulled her forward.
Ji Yunshu was forced to step forward, and her body was pressed against the wooden pillar.
The capital governor and the two jailers saw this and wanted to step forward. Ji Yunshu raised her other hand, indicating that they didn't need to come forward.
Gan Chuliang didn't do anything extreme.
He pulled her hand and asked in a strange tone, "I have already told you what you want to know. What else do you want to know?"
Because they were very close, Ji Yunshu could clearly see Gan Chuliang's face.
His face was lacerated by the whip, and the blood had already dried. But when he spoke, the wounds split open again. The blood on his face even dripped on the back of Ji Yunshu's hand.
It was very conspicuous!
Because of this, Ji Yunshu's gaze fell on his neck and saw his Adam's apple.
Her heart suddenly trembled!
Shocked!
"You … lied!"
