Chu Xingyun cupped his fists towards the officer, but didn't explain.
He raised his right hand and formed a sword seal with his index and middle fingers. With a light sweep, a formless sword aura whizzed out and left a deep crack in the ground in front of the officer.
Looking at the bottomless crack in front of him, the sergeant could not help but feel deep veneration. This was the Sword Qi that only martial artists of the Qi Sword Realm, the third realm of the nine realms of the sword, could produce!
Perhaps many people didn't understand, but what did sword aura represent? Could it prove that Chu Xingyun didn't have the intention to kill?
Yes!
Without a doubt, people who possessed sword aura could kill without a trace. Even if they were killed, they wouldn't know who had killed them.
If Chu Xingyun really had the intention to kill, he wouldn't have needed to slap the man. He only needed to lightly point his finger and the fat man would have been beheaded.
Moreover, even if he killed the man, he wouldn't leave any evidence behind.
The officer cupped his fists respectfully towards Chu Xingyun and said solemnly, "Thank you for your cooperation. You have already used your own strength to prove that you didn't have the intention to kill. However … injuring someone is also a violation of Nanming City's laws."
In the face of the officer's questioning, Ding Xiang finally couldn't help but say, "But he was clearly the one who pointed a knife at Brother Luo Yun first. Does he have to cut his body before he can retaliate?"
The officer helplessly glanced at Ding Xiang and shook his head. "I just said that in the case of conflicting evidence, as Mister Luo Yun's subordinate, your testimony will be the only evidence that will be used."
Me! You …
Ding Xiang really hated herself when she heard the officer's words. Why was she so stupid? Just one sentence had caused Chu Xingyun to be in such a miserable state. How could it be like this?
Chu Xingyun couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ding Xiang's angry and anxious appearance. She was really like Shui Liu Xiang. She was also like that, always making some low-level mistakes that brought disaster to Chu Xingyun.
Shaking his head, Chu Xingyun took out the black iron badge of the Southern Ming Academy and wore it on his chest. He smiled and said, "I think … there shouldn't be any problems now, right?"
Looking at the black iron badge on Chu Xingyun's chest, the sergeant was puzzled at first, but he soon understood.
If Chu Xingyun wanted to kill someone, it would be a criminal case. Even if he had a Black Iron Badge, it would be useless. No badge could exempt him from the punishment of a criminal case.
However, Chu Xingyun had already used his strength to prove that he didn't have the intention to kill. All he did was slap the other party. This way, it would be a civil case.
Although the Black Iron Badge was the lowest badge in Nanming Academy, it was enough to exempt people from civil cases.
After all, it was just a slap. Even if Chu Xingyun admitted to it, it would only be a verbal warning, education, and a fine. It wasn't a big deal to waive it.
Nodding his head, the officer said, "Alright, this matter is now clear and unmistakable. Everyone, disperse."
Seeing that Chu Xingyun was finally cleared of all suspicions, Lilac couldn't help but cry with joy. She grabbed Chu Xingyun and dragged him out of the shop. She didn't want to stay in such a dangerous place for a second longer.
However, Chu Xingyun didn't forget the matter of coming here. How could he leave with Lilac just like that?
Gently patting Lilac's shoulder, Chu Xingyun said in a low voice, "We can't leave yet. If we leave just like that, your sister will suffer tonight."
Lilac's face immediately turned pale with fright when she heard Chu Xingyun's words.
Yes, they could leave. However, at night, this evil couple would definitely punish her sister ruthlessly. At that time, who would save her?
Seeing that Lilac had been convinced, Chu Xingyun said, "In a moment, you must not speak. Trust me … Leave everything to me, okay?"
Tightly pursing her lips, Shui Liu Xiang nodded but didn't dare to say a word.
Although Chu Xingyun had lowered his voice, Ding Ning was right beside him. Therefore, she could hear every word he said very clearly.
Looking gratefully at Chu Xingyun, Ding Ning knew that if they really left like this, she would definitely be beaten black and blue tonight.
Although Ding Ning was a stubborn girl, she had never received any education nor had she undergone any cultivation. No matter how strong her spirit was, she was still a weak girl in the end.
Facing the violence exerted on her body, she was powerless to resist and could only grit her teeth and bear it.
If he could really save her from this abyss of suffering, even if she had to be a slave or a maid, she would repay his great kindness. Otherwise, she really couldn't live on.
Under the expectant gazes of Lilac and Ding Ning, Chu Xingyun cupped his fists to the sergeant and said, "Sir, since my crimes have been cleared, I have something to say now."
Slowly turning around, Chu Xing Yun coldly stretched out his hand and pointed at the fat man on the ground. "I'm accusing him of beating up a weak girl and pointing his sword at her. I want to kill her in front of everyone!"
What!
In the face of Chu Xing Yun's god-like turn of events, everyone was stunned. What kind of show was he putting on?
Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, Chu Xingyun turned around and gently took off the cyan headscarf on Ding Ning's head. Suddenly … a thick whip mark appeared on Ding Ning's forehead.
Trembling, Chu Xingyun pointed at the whip mark on Ding Ning's head and said, "This whip mark was made by this bastard."
"No! No … I didn't! "Faced with Chu Xingyun's accusation, the fat man was instantly terrified.
With a mocking smile, Chu Xingyun said, "You didn't? But you just said in public that it was you who beat her. And you also threatened Ding Ning, saying that she was tired of living! "
While speaking, Chu Xingyun cupped his fist at the sergeant and continued, "Since he didn't admit to pointing his sword at me, and the evidence proves that he did draw his sword, then who did he point his sword at?"
Abruptly turning around, Chu Xingyun looked coldly at the fat man and continued, "Moreover, you also hooted in front of everyone, saying that you would chop her up on the spot. Haha … I think you can't explain it clearly."
Faced with Chu Xingyun's words, the sergeant frowned and pondered.
Indeed, although Ding Xiang's testimony had confirmed that Chu Xingyun was the one who made the first move, the testimonies of the others were enough to prove that this fat man had drawn his sword.
Since he had drawn his sword, then there must be a target. It couldn't be that he had cut the sky, the earth, and the air in between!
Nodding, the sergeant looked at the fat man and said, "Now, please explain. What's with the injuries on her body? Did you draw your sword on her?"
No, no, no …
In a panic, the fat man spoke incoherently and didn't know how to explain himself.
At this time, the fat woman thought of something and said loudly, "Our shopkeeper didn't point at Ding Ning. She is our daughter-in-law. How could he point at her?"
