Is this guy a human or a ghost? How could he use such sneaky tactics? If anyone were to speak rudely or act rudely to him again, he might kill someone on the spot. The problem is that even if he kills someone, no one can see the killing action on the surface, and no one can identify him as the murderer.
This guy is so terrible who kills people invisible. This case must not be tried again!
Thinking of this, Bao Shi hurriedly said: "In my opinion, this person should not be a murderer. You can put him in prison and interrogate him calmly when I have time!"
After that, he bowed to Xiao Mizi and left immediately.
When a group of auxiliary officials and officials saw this, they were still confused, but they had to obey Baoshi's instructions.
They vaguely felt that Xiao Mizi was not easy to mess with and was very strange. Baoshi's cold treatment would at least be of some benefit to them for the time being. As for the future, it could only be postponed for one day, otherwise what could be done?
During the process of escorting Xiao Dizi to the cell, the police officers had to accompany him carefully. Not only did they not put shackles on Xiao Dizi, but they chatted with Xiao Dizi affectionately, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years. .
Bao Shi was sitting on the chair in the hall, his eyes staring straight at the slogan on the wall that read "Official Law is Like a Furnace, Reality is Like a Furnace". On the surface, he looked quietly in a daze, but in fact his mind was constantly spinning. What he was thinking was that this guy who claimed to be a murderer might really be a murderer, or he might have deliberately come to cause trouble in the court on a whim. However, no matter which situation it was, it would be extremely difficult to deal with.
If this guy is really the murderer of Tong Guan, then because of his weird method of killing without blood, he can't really put the law around his neck and judge him mercilessly. If you do that, the real murderer may not die, but he is destined to die.
I have worked hard to climb up to the position of official, and I have experienced too many hardships and sufferings during this process. It is not easy. If I lose my life because of this strange murderer, then everything will be lost, let alone a bright future. Not to mention the glory and wealth.
If possible, it's better to try to clear this guy's name, not for him, but for yourself.
It stands to reason that Tong Guan's murder was a major event that shocked the whole city. Now that the murderer has been captured, Baoshi should report it to the city lord in time. However, after much thought, Stormstone finally decided not to report to the city lord yet. Once reported to the city lord, the city lord will definitely urge him to handle the matter as soon as possible, and he will be passive by then. And if he doesn't report it to the city lord, he has the greatest discretion to deal with it as he wants, and can even release Xiao Mizi quietly.
He could see that Xiao Mizi was not a fool. For a person who is mentally normal and possesses weird killing methods, even if he really kills someone, he cannot take the initiative to surrender. Running away is the most reasonable choice. Even if he does not run away, others will not be able to accuse him of murder. But now, this guy just claimed to the police that he was a murderer, which was obviously unreasonable.
From this, Bao Shi concluded that the most likely possibility was that Xiao Mizi, because of his youth and naughty nature, planned to deliberately cause trouble in the court, and took the opportunity to use weird means to let the officials know that he was not a good person, and that was all. . In this case, there would be no need for him to make a fuss and report to the city lord.
Things that alarm the city lord are usually not trivial. If he makes a fuss and it is finally found out that Xiao Mizi is not the murderer, the result will be embarrassing for both parties.
There is also a key issue. Tong Wanwan knows that the murderer has been caught, so he must put pressure on the city lord and ask the city lord to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible. Even though Xiao Mizi was eventually found not to be the murderer, Tong Wanwan would not agree. Instead, he might think that the government was indulging the criminals without reason. At that point, things get more complicated.
For the current plan, he could only reduce big things to small ones, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the city lord, especially himself.
As for whether Xiao Mizi would cause trouble to Dianshi and the prisoners after being temporarily put in the cell, that was not his concern.
His principle in dealing with things has always been that as long as he is not in trouble, any troubles of others have nothing to do with him.
After sitting quietly for a long time, he just got up and returned to the back office. He planned to take a good rest and collect his thoughts, but he was interrupted by a subordinate who rushed in.
"You guy, do you want to prevent me from living in peace?"
Baoshi stared at his subordinates angrily and said casually.
"Sir!" The subordinate responded with an aggrieved face, bowing his head, "I know you really want to be quiet now, so I didn't plan to come in to disturb you. But the people from the City Lord's Mansion couldn't wait for a moment, so they immediately forced me to come. After the announcement, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and come here.”
"What, someone from the City Lord's Mansion?" Bao Shi suddenly jumped up from his seat, "What is he here for? Could it be that he is also doing something about the murderer?"
"According to the people in the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord wants you to see him immediately. As for the reason, I don't dare to ask in detail." The subordinate responded respectfully.
"Hmph, the city lord is anxious to summon me at this time, what else could it be!" Bao Shi said while pacing, "That damn Tong Wanwan, for the sake of his son, secretly sent people to watch outside the execution hall. He would know if there was any trouble here. I didn’t report the murderer to the city lord, but he went to report it first. How annoying, how annoying!”
The subordinate said cautiously: "Sir, since you are angry, I went back to the people in the city lord's palace and said that you are sick now and should not go out."
"Hmph, how can I delay past the fifteenth day of the first year of junior high school?" Bao Shi said, "How can I not go when the city lord summons me!"
After that, he scolded Tong Wanwan and strode out of the door.
When he came to the city lord's mansion and saw the city lord Siping, Baoshi tried his best to suppress his anger. After saluting, he said: "Sir, you are summoning your subordinates at this moment. Is there something important?"
Siping waved his hand to signal Bao Shi to sit down, and then he sat down as well, picked up the tea bowl and sipped tea, and said, "Old Bao Shi, I heard that you have caught the murderer of Tong Guan. Is this true?"
"Your Excellency, you have sharp ears and eyes, and I admire you very much!" Baoshi responded, "However, there are still many strange things about this matter, so my subordinates did not rush to interrogate it, but temporarily treated it coldly."
"Oh?" Siping was shocked when he heard this, "You have always handled the case smoothly, there has never been any mistakes, and there has not been any mistakes in the process. How can you say such a thing now?"
Baoshi bowed his head and said: "Sir, it was before and now, the situation is completely different. My subordinates have discussed the death of Tong Guan with you before, and you also thought that there were some mysterious things in it. Question. My subordinates think that this is the biggest moth. Sir, imagine that Tong Guan, as a young man from a wealthy family, was quietly killed in the wilderness at night, and the method of killing even the coroner could not understand. I can’t figure it out, what is this if it’s not a moth?”
Siping nodded when he heard this: "Well, that's true, it's true!"
Bao Shi continued: "The cause of Tong Guan's death is unknown. Even his family members can't tell. Now a young man suddenly appears and openly claims that he is the murderer of Tong Guan. Do you think this is normal?"
"Wouldn't you know if it's normal or not if you interrogate him?" Siping said, "Young men are even more timid. All you have to do is punish him, and he might even be able to cause the scandal of his own wife stealing a man!"
"Sir, the matter is actually not that simple." Stormy Stone said, "The young man who claimed to be a murderer seemed to have some weird supernatural powers. He injured two of my subordinates one after another without even moving, causing them to lose their jobs. He was unconscious and is still in a coma. Faced with such a person, I can't imagine what would happen if he were easily executed."
Next, Storm Stone revealed everything he was thinking.
After Siping heard this, he was stunned for a while and said: "According to me, your ideas are not unreasonable. The problem is that Tong Wanwan is keeping a close eye on this matter. As soon as he got the news that the murderer was caught, he came to put pressure on me. How can we act at our own pace? You know, Tong Wanwan is our food and clothing parent, we depend on him for many things, and we must pay attention to his requests no matter what."
"Sir, paying attention to Tong Baibai's request does not mean that we will lose our lives!" Bao Shi argued, "Besides, if the young man who voluntarily surrendered is not the real murderer, what will happen then? Killing a young man in vain will not avenge Tong Bai. Tong Wanwan will still be dissatisfied with Wan Wan's revenge for killing his son. The more critical issue is that we couldn't kill that boy in vain, but that boy could easily kill us!"
"Well, this is really a dilemma." Siping frowned and said, "The way I see it, I'll handle Tong Wanwan's side, and you should do it at your own pace."
