The Minister of Justice quickly sent the results of the interrogation to the Supreme Court.
After Yu Dali read the testimony, he immediately went to Prince Rong's estate.
At this moment, Ji Yunshu finished taking her medicine. Jing Rong helped her to sit in the courtyard and bask in the sun.
The temperature of the sun slowly penetrated into people's skin, warm and comfortable. The suffocating feeling lingering in her chest reminded her again and again of how lucky she was to have a brush with death. But when she closed her eyes, she could still clearly see herself at the bottom of the lake. Endless fear and black fog assaulted her.
Swallowing her whole, it was real and terrifying.
Coming back from the dead, how wonderful!
Jing Rong suddenly held her hand and said, "It won't happen again."
That kind of gaze was enough to make Ji Yunshu throw all the uneasiness in her heart to the back of her mind. As long as he was there, even death was insignificant.
She said, "En."
He smiled.
At this time, Lang Po came to report, "Your Highness, Yu Dali is here. He said that the results of the interrogation are out, but there are still some things that are not clear, so he wants to see you."
You don't understand?
Jing Rong frowned a few times.
However, Ji Yunshu seemed to have guessed something. Her expression suddenly became solemn, but it quickly disappeared.
Jing Rong turned to her and said, "I'll be right back."
She nodded in agreement.
After Jing Rong left, Ji Yunshu's eyes sank as if she was deep in thought.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly flashed down from the roof.
Before she could come back to her senses, the shadow had already sat opposite her.
Shi Ziran sat down, panting. Without another word, he poured himself a cup of water.
He poured cup after cup into his mouth!
It was as if he had done some physical labor!
She stared at him and asked, "How is the investigation going?"
Shi Ziran drank five cups of water before he finally recovered.
He said, "According to your instructions, I almost ran all over the capital. I even secretly went to Wenlai Pavilion and found the place you mentioned. As expected, everything you said was right. Zhao Zhiwen's death … is very suspicious."
There was a big problem!
…
Yu Dali waited anxiously in the hall.
Jing Rong stepped forward with a frown on his cold brows. He knew in his heart that it wasn't anything good.
Seeing him arrive, Yu Dali hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Prince."
"Don't be so superficial." Jing Rong flicked his sleeves and 'rebutted' his politeness. He immediately asked, "What is it?"
"The Ministry of Justice has already finished interrogating this case, and the murderer has already confessed, but …" He stuttered.
Jing Rong frowned. "Speak."
Yu Dali said, "The criminal confessed, but she only admitted to killing Jiao Shiniang and Xing Xiyang. She refused to admit to killing Zhao Zhiwen. She said that the murderer … was someone else."
Someone else?
Jing Rong was shocked and confused. "She didn't kill Zhao Zhiwen?"
"I have confirmed it with the Ministry of Justice. No matter how I interrogated her, she refused to admit that she killed Zhao Zhiwen. However …"
"But what?"
Big Brother, speaking halfway will shorten your life!
Yu Dali replied, "During the interrogation, Mu Jin said that Magistrate Ji knew who Zhao Zhiwen's murderer was. She asked us … to ask Magistrate Ji."
Jing Rong's frown deepened.
Did Yunshu know?
Just as he was feeling puzzled, suddenly —
Ji Yunshu's voice came from outside. "She really didn't kill Zhao Zhiwen."
Jing Rong turned to look and saw Ji Yunshu walking in, supported by a bamboo basket.
Behind her was Shi Ziran!
Shi Ziran had not been seen for many days, but now he had appeared.
Jing Rong looked at Ji Yunshu's indifferent face. "Why do you say so?"
"Actually, I had my suspicions for a long time. That's why I asked Ziran to help me investigate a few things the night before the Commerce Festival. Now, I am even more certain that Zhao Zhiwen's murderer is not Mu Jin."
She was very certain!
…
Wenlai Pavilion.
Liu Zhinan had just returned from the Commerce Festival. He heard two servants discussing something at the corner of the corridor. He hid to the side and listened.
"Did you hear? The murderer has been caught. "
"Really?" "My eldest uncle's nephew's distant aunt's younger brother works in the Ministry of Justice. I bumped into him on the street just now. He told me personally that the murderer is a woman. Yesterday, she almost pushed Lord Ji into the bottom of the lake and drowned him. Fortunately, Prince Rong and the others arrived in time, otherwise …
Another life would have been lost. "
The short servant shrank back. "Then why did the murderer kill?"
"He said it was for fun."
"There's such a crazy person in this world?" The servant felt a chill run down his spine. The sharp-mouthed manservant lowered his voice and said, "But he also told me … that the murderer wouldn't admit to killing President Zhao even if he was beaten to death. He only said that he killed Jiao Shiniang and President Xing. He also said … Lord Ji knows who killed President Zhao? Now … he has probably gone to look for Teacher Ji. The murderer must be …
Who will know very soon. "
Huh?
The servant was shocked. "According to what you said, there really is a second murderer?"
"That's possible!"
"I hope that Lord Ji can quickly arrest the second murderer. Please don't harm anyone else!"
…
Liu Zhinan heard the conversation between the two servants.
He looked nervous as he leaned against the wall. His hands were clasped together, sweating profusely.
He immediately returned to his room.
After he left, the two servants glanced in Liu Zhinan's direction and secretly smiled.
It was as if they had put on a good show.
Liu Zhinan quickly returned to his room and summoned his servant. "Prepare the carriage immediately and bring it to the back door. I have something to do outside the capital."
The servant was very surprised. "Leave the capital? But Master, the Chamber of Commerce Festival is not over yet. Besides, it's getting dark, or … "
"I'll let you prepare it." He growled.
The servant was stunned by this roar.
But he quickly went to prepare the carriage.
Liu Zhinan also quickly packed his things, but he did not bring much. He only brought money and some valuable jade pendants.
After packing, he carried the small box out of the courtyard. Taking advantage of the darkness, he avoided people and went to the back door. The carriage was already waiting at the door.
Just as he was about to go up, someone called out to him.
"President Liu? Where are you going? "
The person who spoke was Luo Mingyang.
Liu Zhinan's heart tightened. He could not help but reveal a panicked expression. He immediately asked the coachman to carry the small box to the carriage and said, "I'm going out to do something."
"It's already dark. Hasn't the Chamber of Commerce Festival already been settled?"
"It's something else. I suddenly remembered that I have a relative in the capital, so I went to see him."
Although Luo Mingyang was an honest man, he was very shrewd. This Liu Zhinan had always been a cunning person. Who would believe that he went to see a relative in the dark and went through the back door?
