A Perfect Crime Report
Wen Thirteenth was a man of character.
In order to solve the case, he had resorted to many tricks, even sacrificing innocent lives for the sake of the murderer.
However, he did not want to become Jing Yi's pawn, nor did he want to win so badly.
With a heavy heart, it was inevitable that he could not be happy.
What Jing Yi said just now was obviously a fraud, a hasty conclusion to the case in order to gain merit.
Jing Rong naturally would not allow it.
"There is little evidence now. There is no direct evidence to prove that Zhang Daqi is the murderer. If you falsify the crime report, you will be deceiving the emperor."
"When did I deceive the emperor?" Jing Yi retorted, "Now that we have this stone as evidence, it points to Zhang Daqi as the murderer. Even if he denies it, it doesn't matter. If I say it's him, it's him. If you want to save people, that's fine, but you have to find evidence to prove that he's not the murderer. Otherwise, it's useless to say too much."
Arrogance!
Jing Rong frowned, "If you submit the crime report, I will inform the Ministry of Justice to hold a joint hearing immediately."
"Alright, then let's see if the Ministry of Justice opens the case faster or Zhang Daqi signs it faster."
In other words, he would make Zhang Daqi sign the case before dawn tomorrow, even if he had to chop off Zhang Daqi's hand.
What a despicable person.
Jing Rong ordered loudly, "Men, go to Prince Yi's estate and escort Zhang Daqi to the Ministry of Justice."
Lang Po obeyed.
Just as he was about to bring his men —
Jing Yi's men drew their swords to stop him.
They were immediately divided into two factions.
At that moment, Jing Yi revealed a nervous expression.
"What are you doing?"
"Jing Yi, don't forget, this is Prince Rong's estate, not your Prince Yi's estate."
"You..."
Jing Rong snapped his fingers.
The next moment, more than ten Rong estate guards appeared from the surrounding rooftops, each with longbows drawn and arrows aimed at Prince Yi's group.
They were only waiting for the order.
Jing Yi was apprehensive. He scanned the surroundings. If Jing Rong really gave the order to kill, he would die without a doubt.
But —
He demanded, "How dare you."
"Then you can try."
"If you hurt me, you will die without a doubt."
"Don't worry, I have no intention of hurting you." "But before Zhang Daqi is sent to the Ministry of Justice, you can't leave my Rong Estate. However, you can try to break out. I don't mind trying to see if the arrows in my Rong Estate can hurt anyone."
For the first time, Jing Yi felt like he had been humiliated. Furthermore, he had taken the initiative to come to him.
Something seemed to be stuck in his throat, making him unable to speak.
Jing Rong ordered, "Quickly go to Prince Yi's estate and bring them to the Ministry of Justice."
"Wait." Jing Yi stopped him. "Do you think my Prince Yi's Estate is easy to enter? You think you can take him away whenever you want? "
"With you in my hands, they will naturally listen to me."
"Yes, I have fallen into your hands. But don't forget, at this moment, Zhang Daqi is still in my hands." He met Jing Rong's indifferent gaze and laughed eerily. "I'll tell you the truth. Before I came, I already informed my subordinates that if I don't return within four hours, my men will kill Zhang Daqi. At that time, both you and I will be left with nothing. Moreover, once he's dead, it'll be even easier to get his fingerprints. At that time, it'll be reasonable to say that he committed suicide to escape punishment. Then, what's the point of having a corpse?"
"Do you think I'll believe that?"
"Jing Rong, whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me. But I will also say the same thing. 'You can try!'" A crafty look appeared in his eyes.
Jing Rong hesitated, unable to decide.
That indeed sounded like something Jing Yi would do.
If Zhang Daqi was really dead, wouldn't there be no one to testify?
If he wasn't the murderer, then an innocent person would have died.
The risk was too great!
At this moment, Ji Yunshu stepped forward and whispered to Jing Rong, "Let them go."
Jing Rong tilted his head and looked at her, his eyes filled with doubt.
However, Ji Yunshu's resolute gaze answered him. She slowly said, "A human life is at stake."
Jing Rong understood her concerns.
He gritted his teeth and slowly raised his hand, pressing his palm forward.
The guards on the roof all withdrew their arrows.
Without a threat, Jing Yi became even more arrogant.
After all, Zhang Daqi was like a chess piece that everyone wanted. Now that he was tightly grasped in Jing Rong's hand, he naturally walked with the wind.
Jing Rong's sharp gaze was like tens of thousands of cold needles, ruthlessly piercing into his body.
He didn't care at all and sneered.
Afterwards, he led his men and swaggered out of the Rong estate in a grandiose manner.
However, Ji Yunshu quietly called out to Wen Shisan.
She asked him, "Do you really think that Prince Yi is your backer?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"Today, he did not hesitate to take Zhang Daqi's life for a meritorious deed. One day, he will sacrifice you."
Wen Shisan listened to her words, but on the surface, he sneered, "I respect you, that's why I call you Master. Since I won't interfere with your promotion, you shouldn't interfere with mine either. Moreover, whether Prince Yi will sacrifice me is not up to you. Moreover, this time, Prince Yi's victory is already in his grasp. You better think about your and Prince Rong's escape route."
After throwing out these words.
He left!
What a cow covered in blankets.
Jing Rong walked over with an ugly expression, as if he regretted letting Jing Yi go.
He frowned and said, "Tomorrow morning, Jing Yi will enter the palace to report this case. Once he presents the evidence, the Emperor will close this case."
Ji Yunshu was silent.
The next day, she heard that Zhang Daqi had confessed and signed his name.
Wen Shisan also wrote a beautiful case report, which was sent to the palace by Jing Yi.
Soon, the Emperor's decree was issued.
Zhang Daqi was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's prison and ordered to be executed.
When the other case report was sent to the Supreme Court, Vice Chancellor Yu hurriedly made a copy and sent it over.
Wen Shisan's case report was indeed beautiful. Not only was it beautiful, but the handwriting was also neat.
However, what was written on the case report was like a bloody crime.
What was truly unexpected was that Zhang Daqi had actually bitten off his own tongue and almost died. He had personally signed his name, but he could not say how he committed the crime. However, because of the stone as evidence, he could not quibble.
This was simply a perfect case report. It was as if not a single word or sentence could be found wrong.
However, Ji Yunshu doubtfully asked, "Zhang Daqi was a person who did not even have the strength to truss a chicken. How could he use silver needles to kill Sha Si? How did the Great Buddha move? Gao Meng did not open the tiger skin box, so where did the smell on his hands come from? Why did the murderer kill someone born in the Yin year, Yin month, and Yin hour? Why did Gao Meng go to that run-down temple? The case report did not explain any of these. It only said that Zhang Daqi had bitten off his tongue and was unable to speak. The case report is beautiful, but there are various reasons that cannot be completely ignored just because Zhang Daqi has admitted to killing. "
