"Oh," Chen Houlu lamented worriedly in the interrogation room and said to Song Zhili, "Sir Song, I think you know the stakes here better than me, right?
"Cui Xiaotian is different from Qiu Batian. In terms of people, he has thousands of thugs; in terms of power, he has the support of state officials.
"Some people say that the reason why Cui Xiaotian is so prosperous in Songzhou is because he has the handles and evidence of crimes against officials at all levels in our state government.
"If you touch him, you will touch all our superior officials. Think about it, how can we afford the consequences?"
"I'm afraid this is just a rumor, right?" Shen Mingchen frowned and said, "What if...we only arrest Cui Meng but not Cui Xiaotian?"
"Old Capt. Shen, please stop joking!" Chen Houlu shook his head, "As we all know, Cui Xiaotian's favorite is this eldest son. He still hopes that Cui Meng will inherit the mantle. We have arrested his son. Do you think Cui Xiaotian can let it go? "
"Then..." Xu Zhen came up with an idea seriously, "Our goal is to get Qi Yunzheng to tell the whereabouts of Mr. Song's children. We only need to capture Cui Meng and let him confess in front of Qi Yun. Then we will achieve our goal." The purpose?
"What's the big deal, wait until Master Song's children are rescued before letting him go?"
"You're joking too," Chen Houlu denied, "Qi Yun was trying to overturn his brother's case. If he didn't achieve his goal, how could he let him go?
"Master Song," he turned to Song Zhili and said, "We must not be reckless in this matter. We must take the long-term... Hey... Hey hey hey?"
Unexpectedly, before Chen Houlu finished speaking, Song Zhili suddenly took a lunge and rushed out of the interrogation room!
"Why?"
Everyone was wondering, no one knew what Song Zhili was going to do?
"quick!"
Chen Houlu quickly said hello and chased out with Xu Zhen and Shen Mingchen.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhili rushed directly to the cell where Qi Yunzheng was imprisoned. As soon as he entered, he rushed in front of the monk like crazy, grabbed the monk's collar, and roared hysterically:
"Hurry up and tell me, where have you hidden my son and daughter!!? Tell me! Tell me! Otherwise I will kill you now! Tell me... tell me..."
He said the harshest words, but when he raised his head, he saw that the monk had not opened his eyes at all, but was chanting sutras quietly and quickly with his eyes closed.
"Ah..." Song Zhili was about to collapse. He grabbed the monk's collar and tore at it wildly, shouting, "Tell me, tell me quickly..."
this……
Xu Zhen and others were all at a loss when they saw this scene.
Chen Houlu stretched out his hand forward, trying to dissuade him.
Unexpectedly, as Song Zhili shouted, he gradually became smaller. Finally, he hugged the monk's thigh, knelt at his feet, and burst into tears.
"I...I beg you, my son and daughter are innocent, and I have never harmed your relatives. It is none of my business! Monks are compassionate, please let them go, ugh Wuwu... They are still children, please, please have mercy... Wuwuwu..."
Song Zhili cried so much that his heart broke out, and his emotion of licking the calf was pitiful.
"This...do you think this is okay?" Song Zhili held the monk's thigh tightly and begged, "Change me...change me...can you imprison me? You can do whatever you want to me, you Give me my son and daughter back, give them back to me... wu wu wu..."
"Amitabha," the monk finally said, "Magistrate Song, the monk has no choice but to say I'm really sorry! The monk knows that his sins are serious. On the road to hell, the monk will definitely take good care of your young master and young lady, and will definitely help them to be reborn in the realm of bliss... …”
"Ah...you..." After hearing this, Song Zhili couldn't hold on any longer, leaned back and collapsed to the ground.
But just at this moment, the cell door was suddenly pushed open by a yamen officer, and the yamen officer shouted hurriedly: "Master Song, Master Song, you... um..."
As a result, he was shocked to see the county magistrate collapsed on the ground, crying.
The atmosphere was filled with strangeness for a moment, and the yamen servant opened his mouth wide, unable to say anything.
"Tell me," Song Zhili snorted indifferently and said, "What's the matter?"
Since the government officials rushed in in such a hurry, something big must have happened again, but for Song Zhili, who was heartbroken, it was just too many lice that he didn't realize he was biting.
"Sir, um..." the yamen servant said awkwardly, "otherwise, let's talk outside, right?"
"Say!" Song Zhili shook his head crazily, and a strand of his bun came loose. He shouted loudly, "Say it quickly and let everyone here hear it! Say it!!?"
The yamen servant had never seen the county magistrate be so crazy, and he quickly said tremblingly: "Magistrate Tong, Magistrate Tong, he died from his injuries!"
When the officer spoke, the monk was still chanting sutras in a low voice. When he heard these words, the chanting suddenly stopped.
At the same time, everyone is thinking about what this news means?
"Dead? Dead...hehe...hehe..." Song Zhili sneered nervously and said, "If you die, just die! If you die...just die!"
"This..." The yamen servant was stunned at the door, even more at a loss.
Fortunately, Chen Houlu stood up in time and waved to him, and the yamen officer fled as if he was running away, even forgetting to close the door.
Having no other choice, Shen Yu took a step forward and closed the cell door with a bang.
After the cell door was closed, the cell was completely silent again. No one spoke. Everyone seemed to be thinking about their own affairs, and they all seemed worried about Song Zhili's crazy state.
"Well..." After more than ten seconds of silence, Chen Houlu thought that as the county magistrate, he should say something, so he came to Song Zhili and wanted to help the county magistrate up first.
However, Song Zhili's behavior was once again unexpected.
He suddenly got up from the ground, rushed to the monk again, and said viciously: "Monk, if I pull the ghost-faced killer in front of you and make him confess in front of you, can you let my son go?" With my daughter?”
"Amitabha," Qi Yun recited the Buddha's name, "monastics do not lie and do what they say, but... Master Song, do you have this ability?"
After hearing Qi Yunzheng's words, Song Zhili no longer had any doubts in his heart. Obviously Xu Zhen's guess was right. Qi Yunzheng had already guessed that the real ghost-faced killer was Cui Meng, Cui Xiaotian's eldest son!
"Okay, okay, okay!" Song Zhili said "Okay" three times in a row, and then turned around.
"No no no no……"
The moment Song Zhili turned around, Chen Houlu's expression changed again, because Chen Houlu had already realized that things might develop in the worst direction and would bring him catastrophe!
"Cheng Xiao, come here, come here..." Song Zhili waved to Cheng Xiao.
"Ah?" Cheng Xiao turned pale with fright, but he still hurried forward.
"If," Song Zhili said to him, "you help me catch Cui Meng, this county will absolve you of the crime of concealing the report thirteen years ago!"
"Ah?" Cheng Xiao suddenly trembled in fright.
"If not, I will definitely put you and Chen Tiefeng in jail!" Song Zhili threatened fiercely, "This crime can be big or small, so you should weigh it carefully!"
"No... no, sir," Cheng Xiao was so frightened that he knelt down and defended, "It's not that I won't help... it's just that my ability is really limited!"
"A gentleman embraces benevolence and righteousness and is not afraid of the upheavals of heaven and earth!" Unexpectedly, at this time, Shen Mingchen suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Shen has been a policeman all his life, and he only knows that guilty must be punished and murderers must be killed. The ghost-faced killer has killed so many people, Master Song..."
The old catcher rushed to Song Zhili and cupped his hands, and said generously:
"Shen is willing to devote all his strength to help you capture the important criminal!"
Hearing this, Shen Yu quickly stood beside his father and clasped his fists in agreement: "Shen Yu also doesn't want to see the murderer go unpunished, and is willing to capture the thief together!"
The words of the father and daughter immediately made people's blood boil.
"Okay! Okay!!" Song Zhili was very excited and immediately said with clenched fists, "In that case, let's plan how to bring the Ghost Faced Killer to justice!"
"No... no, no..." Seeing Song Zhili's determination, the county magistrate Chen Houlu was so frightened that he backed away and muttered to himself, "You... you are crazy, you are all crazy..."
