"Coroner, what is this thing?" The official carefully examined the object in front of him, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of a reason why it was there.
"Reporting to my lord, this is what I found in the corpse. It doesn't look like a part of a human body, but it was mixed in with the corpse. It's very strange, so I brought it here for my lord to see."
"This is the monster's fang!" Ye Chen also saw the sharp object. He recognized what it was at a glance.
"Oh? Fang? " The official looked at Ye Chen strangely, "Could it be that you made up this lie in order to clear your name and put this thing in the corpse?"
Ye Chen helplessly shook his head after hearing this. It seemed like this official was certain that he was guilty, which was why he was biting onto him and not letting him go. Ye Chen knew that no matter what he said now, this official wouldn't believe him.
"Reporting! The steamed bun shop has been thoroughly investigated. We found in the steamed bun shop … Ugh. " A yamen runner rushed in from outside the door and shouted something. However, as soon as he ran into the hall, he stopped talking.
Then, he also began to vomit violently.
The official frowned as he looked at the puddles of vomit on the ground. He couldn't help but want to vomit. His face turned from green to red, then back to purple. In the end, he resisted the urge to vomit.
"What did you find? Hurry up and say it." Right now, the official only wanted to quickly finish this case and immediately leave the court. He wanted to go back and wash off the smell on his body.
"We, found, found some unknown meat in the steamed bun shop, and some bones that look like human bones." The bailiff said as he retched. Ye Chen, who was kneeling beside him, also felt a bit disgusted at this moment.
"Coroner, follow him to take a look. Check what kind of meat the meat is and see if the bones are human bones." After the official finished speaking, he stood up.
"Detain this criminal first. We'll proceed to the next step of the trial after we're done investigating the bun shop." After saying that, he slammed the gavel and immediately walked out of the hall.
Ye Chen was escorted to the prison by the bailiffs. After the bailiffs threw him into the prison, they left. Ye Chen even heard them saying things like "Disgusting" and "I want to take a bath".
Actually, the stench from before did not affect Ye Chen much. He found it very strange. Perhaps it was because he had smelled too much blood last night, so he was somewhat immune to the stench of corpses.
He sat quietly in the prison, his heart calming down a little. "Since I don't have a place to stay now, this prison is a good place. At least I don't have to worry about being chased out of the city." He thought optimistically.
Ye Chen felt a little tired. He had not rested since last night, so he simply lay on the floor of the cell and fell asleep.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen was awakened by a series of noises. He woke up from his sleep and looked at the prison bars with sleepy eyes.
"Don't sleep, the lord wants to see you." After the bailiffs said that, they opened the prison door for Ye Chen. Just as he wanted to walk to Ye Chen's side, he was forced to retreat by the stench coming from Ye Chen's body.
"You, you should follow behind me." The bailiffs hesitated, but in the end, they did not walk to Ye Chen's side. Instead, they let Ye Chen follow them.
The bailiffs brought Ye Chen to the main hall of the yamen. This time, Ye Chen understood the rules and knelt on the floor. After a while, the bailiffs shouted in unison, "Begin the trial."
The magistrate walked out from the back hall. He slammed the gavel, "Is this court Ye Chen?"
"Yes, this humble one." Ye Chen kowtowed and replied.
"Ye Chen, this official has already found out the truth. You are already innocent." After the magistrate finished speaking, the bailiffs quickly came over and untied Ye Chen's hands and feet.
