Naturally, Kyoto Prefecture is not as cold and dark as the Ministry of Justice, but the room dedicated to interrogation in Kyoto Prefecture is very dim and unusually dark. There are two fierce pawns carrying ghost swords.

When the little Taoist Xuanzhen was brought into the interrogation room of the Kyoto Prefecture, he only felt that his legs were weak, and if it weren't for the officer's support, he would almost collapse.

There are lampposts in the corners with lights burning inside, but the lights are deliberately not too bright.

Xuanzhen fell to his knees while being escorted by officials, and heard a low voice in front of him: "Xuanzhen, the officer doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you. The palace is still waiting for the case to be closed. Let's talk, why do you hire a murderer? Where is the assassin named Shadow Bolt now?"

Xuan Zhen raised his head impressively, his face pale, and said silently, "Hire...Hire a murderer? I...I don't!"

"Still hard?" The judge in charge of the interrogation looked gloomy and sneered: "We are all clear about the cause and effect. Are you still arguing? When you were serving Hongling, you were often beaten and scolded by Hongling. Resent, so hire a murderer, isn't it?"

"No." Although Xuan Zhen was terrified, he knew that once he was convicted, he would definitely die. He immediately shouted: "I didn't kill the master, I... I didn't hire any murderers. I was wronged. It was wronged."

"We in Kyoto Prefecture are fair and unselfish." Judge Zhou said sternly, "If we don't have conclusive evidence, we won't arrest you. You are wronged? Real Hongling was murdered by a small Taoist boy, that is wrong. You gave it that night. Hongling's real tea is used in medicine to facilitate the assassins to commit crimes. Don't think we don't know. The official has dealt with the case for many years, and his eyes are glanced. It is clear who is guilty and who is innocent. Then Lord Yefu Cheng asked you personally, you said that day No one went to see the real person at night, it was clearly a lie."

Xuanzhen changed color in horror, and immediately said: "I...I can't say!"

"Of course you can't say it." Judge Zhou said coldly: "Because you know that Shadow Bolt will assassinate a real person that night, and Shadow Bolt is the assassin you hired, of course you can't say it."

"No, no." Xuan Zhen said anxiously: "Shadow Bolt was not hired by me. That night.....that night the subject was...I wanted to see a woman."

"Woman?" Judge Zhou was startled, and then sneered: "It's really nonsense. The master is a monk. How can you see a woman in the middle of the night? Xuanzhen, it's too big to die. You murdered a real person, do you still want to destroy his reputation? ?"

"It's really a woman." Xuan Zhen said anxiously: "The master asked me to wait at the side door at night. Someone will want to see him. I will wait at the side door. At midnight, when a woman knocks on the door, I will take her. I saw the real person, and... and then left. Later, someone heard a strange noise coming from Guanzhu's courtyard, and I ran over to find out that Guanzhu had been shot and killed. "

Judge Zhou said angrily: "Nonsense. You said a woman went to see a real person in the middle of the night, then who did you say?"

"I don't know either, it's...I'm a woman, and I'm very rich in clothes, I...!" Xuan Zhen's forehead was cold and sweaty.

"Shut up!" Before Xuan Zhen finished speaking, he heard a stern rebuke from behind him. Xuan Zhen turned his head and saw an official behind him standing there with his back hand, with a cold expression and a cold snort, then turned and went out for interrogation. Room, Judge Zhou immediately got up and followed out quickly.

"Master Fu Cheng, you...?" Judge Zhou hurriedly stepped forward when he saw the official standing not far away.

Cheng Tang Jing of Kyoto Prefecture had a cold face, and said solemnly: "Judge Zhou, what are you trying? The prisoner is talking nonsense, and you even ask who it is. He is obviously talking nonsense. You have to follow his words. Go ask? This case has even been questioned by Chen Shaojian of Ziyi Supervisor, and the facts of the case are already clear. Today's interrogation is just asking him to sign and detain him quickly, so there is no need to talk nonsense."

Judge Zhou hurriedly said: "The humble job...the humble job understands!"

"I don't think you understand." Tang Jing said with a cold face, and said in a low voice, "Not to mention that this case has already come to light. Even if we don't figure it out, we must close the case as soon as possible. Why do you think Chen Shaojian will personally intervene in this case? He is not really going to intervene in this case, nor is he helping Kyoto Prefecture solve the case, but hopes that we can give the palace an explanation as soon as possible."

Judge Zhou's body was shaken, and Tang Jing sneered: "That old Taoist was a royal alchemist who was killed under the eyes of the emperor. If he can't solve the case for a long time, where is the face of the court? Solving the case in three days is already the limit. Procrastination, people in the world will feel that the court is incompetent. The big case that happened at the feet of the emperor cannot be solved quickly, and even the face of the saint will be damaged. Since Chen Shaojian has already brought the meaning to it, we are still dragging it here, Do you have to get a knife?" Staring at Judge Zhou's eyes, he asked softly, "Do you know why the Criminal Ministry wanted to throw this case over?"

"The humble job...the humble job is dull!"

"Lu Butang is so shrewd. He knows very well that there is no other requirement for this case. It just needs to be closed as soon as possible, and the fewer people involved, the better." Tang Jing whispered: "For such a case, Lu Butang naturally I don’t have any interest, just go through the scene and find a reason to close the case. At first I didn’t understand it, but when Chen Shaojian came over, I immediately understood. Hong Ling is not a great minister of the imperial court, even if I just find a reason to close it. In the case, the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple didn't dare to say anything, and it was even more unlikely that someone would complain about the old Taoist priests. When he was alive, the old Taoist was a royal alchemist, but when he died, it would be worse than a dog."

Judge Zhou came to understand, sweating on his forehead, and said: "Understanding the humble position, don't worry, my lord, within an hour, the humble position will make him sign the confession letter."

"It's so good." Tang Jing sighed, "Master Fu Yin is waiting for the confession to arrive, and he will immediately submit it to him. By the way, Xuan Zhen's mouth, don't let him involve other people. No one can be involved. If it is really involved. As for others, this case cannot be finalized for the time being, and the only one who is unlucky is us."

"Understood!" Judge Zhou arched his hands: "The humble post will confess the guilt as soon as possible." He turned and returned to the interrogation room.

As the sun sets, outside a gray-white high wall in the south of Kyoto, there is a small river. This is a branch of the water. It is quite wide. Just a few meters away from the white high wall, the river is clear. A stone bridge connects the two sides of the river. .

Below the gray stone bridge, the level of flow is as slow as a mirror, reflecting the shadow of the small bridge and the branches of the green branches on the side of the road that stretch out onto the water. It looks quiet and beautiful. Occasionally a gust of wind blows by, and the water ripples away.

The scenery here is beautiful, but few people dare to approach it.

Because this square yard is where the Ziyi Prison is located.

In a rather dim room of the Ziyijian, an elderly man without a beard on his mouth sat leaning on a slightly worn-out chair, closing his eyes slightly, watching the traces projected from between the window lattices. At sunset, the look is calm as water.

"Kyoto Prefecture will close the case soon." Standing in front of the old man was Chen Xi, the young superintendent of the Purple Clothes Supervisor, standing straight, but with a respectful voice: "This case will soon pass on the bright side."

A faint smile appeared on the old man's lips and asked, "Chen Xi, who do you think is the murderer?"

"At least not

Shadow Bolt."Chen Xi respectfully said: "Shadow Arrow has been in the capital for two months. We have already found out where it appeared in these two months."However, after the death of Hongling real person, Shadow Arrow was like a drop of rain falling into the sea, completely lost track, and his subordinates were incompetent, and he was not even sure whether he was still in Kyoto."

The old man smiled and said: "It seems that Shadow Bolt really has some abilities. It has been able to mix in the assassin's business for many years, and there is still some ability." Changed to a more comfortable position, leaning on the chair, and calmly said: "I don't care about Shadow now. Where the arrow is, I'm just curious, who in the end framed Shadow Arrow and shot the old Taoist priest."

"The subordinates surveyed the scene, and Shadow Arrow faced people in the forest that night. At least two arrows were shot, but both arrows were shot empty and sank into the tree trunk." Chen Xi whispered, "But those two arrows were taken from the trunk. Pull it out, put it in the arrow box and leave it on the scene. If you don't investigate carefully, it is naturally impossible to find that the shadow arrow has moved with people in the forest." His last sentence was naturally mocking the gang of officials in Kyoto Prefecture.

"Shadow Arrow is third-rank, and archery is decent." The old man smiled and said: "At that distance, if he can avoid his arrows, the opponent's strength is naturally far above him, at least in the fourth-rank mid-sky realm. "

Chen Xi said: "Yes. The murderer subdued Shadow Arrow. There was no trace of blood on the scene. Naturally, he did not kill him, but he left Shadow Arrow with bows and clothes, and then used these to cover up his identity to shoot and kill the old Taoist. The murderer may not be necessary. He wanted to blame Shadow Arrow. The subordinates thought that the real purpose was to conceal his identity and confuse the clues, so that we could not find out."

"The murderer is very clever." The old man said with a smile: "However, in the fourth stage of the heavenly realm, he has to attack a Taoist priest. Does he have hatred with the old Taoist, or is he instigated by others?" He shook his head and sighed, thinking about what he asked. : "You said there were other people at the scene that night?"

"There are traces of a carriage." Chen Xi said, "Judging from the depth of the traces, there should be two people in the car. In addition to the driver, there is one person in the car." After a pause, he continued: "The rider is not the shadow. Arrows and Shadow Arrows have always been single-handedly, and he will not ride a carriage when he goes to the Taoist Temple of Longevity. In addition to alchemy, the real Hongling also prepares some medicines. Among them are highly poisonous. The arrows of Shadow Arrow have been poisoned. The requirements for poison are very high. He doesn't like ordinary poison. The subordinates judged that Shadow Bolt secretly had a deal with Hongling real person, and he bought the poison from an old Taoist priest."

"You mean, the night the old Taoist priest was killed, Shadow Bolt went to buy poison from him?"

"No." Chen Xi said affirmatively: "I went to Kyoto Prefecture and saw the arrows in the arrow box. There are more than a dozen poison arrows left in it, which proves that Shadow Arrow has traded with the old Taoist priest before this. After Shadow Arrow came to Beijing, except for attacking Qin Xiao that night, he did not use poison arrows in other places. Therefore, his subordinates judged that the poison would not be used up so quickly in the previous transaction. Shadow Arrow went to Taoist Temple that night, and there was another purpose."

"What's the purpose?"

"The subordinates are not sure, but there is a possibility." Chen Xi's body was as straight as a javelin from beginning to end, and his voice was calm as water without any emotions: "Qin Xiao hit an arrow that night, and Shadow Arrow thought he was bound to die, but afterwards Qin Xiao But he was alive and well. The Shadow Bolt failed in the assassination, so he would doubt the potency of the poison and go to the old Taoist priest, probably because of this."

"Very good." The old man sat up, his eyes showed relief: "Chen Xi, after years of experience, you can already be on your own." After a moment of silence, he finally asked: "Shadow Arrow has a holiday with Qin Xiao, old Taoist priest. It’s the same festival as Qin Xiao. On the street, Qin Xiao clashed with the old Taoist priest. That night, the old Taoist priest was shot and killed. According to your judgment, is it possible that Qin Xiao was the murderer? Or, he was with this. Are things connected?"
