"What went wrong?" Zhang Bi disagreed again, "He has read the driving notice and Kingo himself gave the order. How dare he resist?"
"If you go to prison, you will almost die. If you don't dare to resist, you have to resist!" Lin Linyou said, "Besides, it's not that he doesn't have the ability to resist, why doesn't he resist? It's not like his style to just surrender."
"Did you see it again? Do you know him?"
"To be honest, I'm pretty good at judging people."
Zhang Bi thought for a while and said to Lin Linyou: "You go back first, and I will take him to the imperial prison."
Lin Linyou understood what he meant, nodded, turned and walked towards another street.
…
It’s already halfway through the third watch late at night.
In the imperial prison, Zhang Bi interrogated Jin Chang in the small dark room of the detention room. It was informal and there was no need to record a confession. Of course, there was no need to use a set of punishments as usual.
"Don't be nervous, we are just chatting casually." Zhang Bi said sitting opposite Jin Chang.
Jin Chang stood and said, "How could Mr. Zhang see that I am nervous?"
"You are the first person who can be so calm after being imprisoned." Zhang Bi thought to himself that this was just because I didn't use torture, but this guy regarded being polite as a blessing, "Do you think it was not you who killed Li Rui? Is everything safe now?"
Jin Changdao: "Is it possible that I still keep saying I'm wronged? You've all falsely accused me of being a traitor to the party. Nothing I do will help, so why not deal with it calmly?"
A gust of wind came out of nowhere. The flame in a lampstand on the blue brick wall flickered, and the large fire pit in the execution room whirred twice, getting stronger and stronger.
It was quiet.
Zhang Bi looked at Jin Chang, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Cover his eyes!" Zhang Bi felt a little scared because of his laughter, for fear that he would use illusions.
Captain Jinyi took a piece of cloth and neatly covered Jin Chang's eyes.
"Can you still use illusions like this?" Zhang Ben asked proudly.
"Perhaps I have already used it?" Under the cloth, the corners of Jin Chang's mouth raised slightly, "How do you know that the person I am now is really me?"
"Tear off his skirt for me." Zhang Ben waved his hand and gave another order.
Hearing this, Jin Chang showed a trace of panic on his face.
Captain Jinyi stepped forward, stripped off Jin Chang's lower body, stretched out his hand to inspect it, and turned around to report, "Sir, he is indeed an eunuch!"
The panic on Jin Chang's face disappeared, replaced by anger, and he yelled: "You are a fucking eunuch! I am not!"
"Ghawpur and wudoo?" Zhang Bi turned a deaf ear to his yelling.
"Wu Jing," the captain said, "and...it's not a palace cleansing technique. The eggs are still there, but the rooster's comb is gone." The second half of the sentence was whispered into Zhang Bi's ear.
"Okay, confirm the identity." Zhang Bi said, "How about Master Jin, can we have a good chat now?"
Jin Chang knew that Jin Yiwei had many eyes and ears and great powers, but this secret was only known to him, and to the two dead fans in the Jiaofang Sinan Market.
In addition, there was another person, the purifier who purified him originally, but that old guy had already passed away!
"How did you know?" Jin Chang asked in a deep voice after being silent for a while.
"I guessed it." Zhang Ben smiled.
"Guess?" Jin Chang naturally didn't believe it.
"You smell like a eunuch."
"I said, I'm not!" Jin Chang said angrily.
Of course, a smell alone cannot prove the question of "he is him". All eunuchs smell like eunuchs.
Maybe Jin Chang and Eunuch Hou had been together for a long time, and maybe they smelled bad?
Zhang Bi obviously had enough evidence: "Your adopted son, Dai Shirong, has seen you go to the toilet."
Regardless of the big Gong and the little Gong, Jin always sits down, because the damn purifier was not professional enough at the time and cut too deep when he cut it, causing him to have a fan-shaped shape for Little Gong. If he didn't sit down, he would get splashed. Everywhere.
Originally! He is not a purifier in the palace, so his techniques are certainly not professional enough. Moreover, wudu is generally performed outside the palace, and only the chicken is killed but the eggs are not taken - this is consistent with Jin Chang's experience.
Jin Chang cursed Dai Shirong in his heart! I didn’t expect that I would have to sell him before I died!
…
"What do you want to talk about?" Jin Chang was obviously like a defeated rooster, without the arrogance he had just now. However, his defeat was not because of Zhang Bi, but because of Zhang Bi's words, which brought back his unbearable humiliation and memories, and deeply hurt the most sensitive vulnerability in his heart!
As the famous eunuch Hai Dafu said: A eunuch is an incomplete man. A false beard can help him regain a little self-esteem.
But Jin Chang's beard is real, because his eggs are still there.
"Let's talk about the case of Jiaofang Sinan City Building." Zhang Bi said, "We have been investigating for so long, and finally found out that the answer seems to lie with you alone."
"I have never killed anyone!" Jin Chang said, "The Jiaofang case has nothing to do with me!"
"You dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?" Zhang Ben said, suddenly nodding, "Yes! The death of those offenders may have nothing to do with you, but what about those two fans? Do you dare to say that they did not die because of you?"
Jin Chang's ability in that area is no longer good, but it does not mean that he has no desire. On the contrary, it is still very strong.
That night, he ordered two fans from Nanshi Building, who were Huang Ze's mother and aunt... I don't know what method he used, which caused them to commit suicide in anger because of the humiliation.
Before that, Huang Ze had attacked all the offenders who had insulted his mother's aunt. After that, he went on a killing spree!
This is the reason why murders occur so frequently in many buildings in Jiaofangsi, especially in Nanshi Building.
As for why he didn't take action against Jin Chang, maybe Huang Ze was not around that night and didn't know who the guest was for; maybe he knew, but couldn't kill him...
During this period, Li Chun took advantage of the cover of the Jiaofang Si case to kill Li Rui in an attempt to blame the real culprit of the Jiaofang Si case.
There are also gamblers from Xiaoyao Building who have the same idea as Li Chun. For example, the Water Pirate King Sandao lost his money gambling at Xiaoyao Building, so he lured his opponent to Nanshi Building and killed him with one blow.
It's a pity that Wang Sandao was unlucky and became the scapegoat in the Jiaofang case.
This is why murders still occurred in Nanshi Building during Huang Ze's absence.
…
"Am I right in my guess, Mr. Jin?" Zhang Bi slowly explained his reasoning and analysis and asked Jin Chang who was opposite him.
"They are guilty people, and they will die when they die. Living is just a living, and it is also painful." Jin Chang said, "If you insist that they died because of me, I am just freeing them!"
"It seems I guessed it right." Zhang Ben said, "Then why did you meet Li Rui?"
"That guy is a gambler." Jin Chang said truthfully, "He owed a lot of debt in Xiaoyao Building. One day, he suddenly asked me to meet at Nanshi Building at the second watch and said that he had a secret letter that was related to my life and death. He He is willing to hand it over to me, as long as I cancel all his gambling debts."
"How much gambling debt does he owe in total?"
"More than one hundred thousand taels."
Second Austrian! Sure enough, the gambler owes so much!
This Li Rui is just a low-ranking official in the newly established Capital Water Department of the Ministry of Industry. He has a low position and a lot of power. The most important thing is that supervising river projects is a fat job.
Ji Gang placed him in an inconspicuous position, and of course he had his reasons.
No matter what, all the water in the river flowed into Xiaoyao Tower!
He owed a full one hundred thousand taels, so what he had lost before was not necessarily much!
These one hundred thousand taels, with Li Rui's salary, would not be enough even in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
But he didn't dare to ask his adoptive father for help, so he had to find a way on his own.
Although there are a lot of gold, silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the adoptive father's house, and each piece is worth a lot of money, he is afraid that he will have to buy more than one hundred thousand taels.
If you take too much, you will be easily discovered.
Moreover, most people dare not accept antique calligraphy and paintings of unknown origin. Xiaoyaolou knew that he was Ji Gang's adopted son and paid the debt directly, not to mention accepting it.
Li Rui was not stupid, so he only took a secret letter from Ji Gang's house, a secret letter that he thought could be used to offset his gambling debt of 100,000 taels.
"So, what kind of letter is that?" Jin Chang asked Zhang Bi, "I told you the answers you asked for truthfully."
