Jingzhou government office.
In the meeting hall.
Sun Heya casually flipped through the files brought by Lin Ji. The files recorded hundreds of incidents of evil and evil harming people, but Sun Heya only glanced at them.
After just a moment, he put the file down.
"Master Sun, have you seen this dossier before?"
Sun Heya's face looked a little ugly.
"Qi is the chief arrester of Jingzhou who was personally promoted and appointed by me. If nothing like this happens, I will promote him to Youxing Officer within two years."
After he finished speaking, Sun Heya poked at the file with his finger and said helplessly: "Something happened to a close confidant whom I promoted myself. Mr. Lin, do you think I haven't read this file?"
Business was done, and Sun Heya no longer called Lin Ji brother Lin.
Lin Ji smiled and put the file away.
"What do you think, Mr. Sun?" Lin Ji asked.
"You ask me what I think about this case?"
Seeing Lin Ji nodding, Sun Heya took a deep look at Lin Ji, but was unwilling to answer. Instead, he said: "Master Lin, the commander must avoid suspicion when handling cases. Na Qi is my direct descendant. Ask me. There will be no results..."
Lin Ji shook his head and said, "I don't want to get an accurate result from Mr. Sun. I just want to listen to all sides and make a careful judgment."
"You will understand if you listen together." Sun Heya said clearly, "In my opinion, this matter must be a frame-up. I have been observing Qi Zheng for two or three years. He is not an evil person."
"Master Sun, you know people, faces but not hearts."
"I have lived for a long time, and I can't even have this kind of vision." Sun Heya seemed quite confident.
He clearly had no evidence, but he was willing to defend Qi Zheng in front of Lin Ji.
In this case, if Sun Heya was not involved in this matter, it would be that he really felt that Qi was wronged and was willing to vouch for him.
Therefore, even if Sun Heya's words were just one-sided words, Lin Ji already had the idea that Qi Zheng was framed.
And this is exactly Sun Heya's purpose.
After Sun Heya finished speaking, Lin Ji stood up and saluted slightly.
"Master Sun, where is Qi Zheng being imprisoned now?"
"It's in the prison cell of Jingzhou General Office."
"I'm going to have a chat with him."
Sun Heya naturally had no reason to object. He had no right to investigate the matter thoroughly, but now that he had the opportunity to investigate thoroughly, he naturally had to be more active.
Soon, Sun Heya arranged for his men to take Lin Ji to the dungeon of the Jingzhou General Office.
As soon as he entered the dungeon, Lin Ji heard a lot of painful moans and wailings.
"Mr. Lin, be careful. Most of the prisoners detained here have good cultivation. Although many of them have had their Dantians broken and their cultivation abolished because of the troubles, there are always some who have slipped through the net."
The jailer said: "Just a few days ago, a brother was accidentally punched in the stomach and punched through the stomach. He left at that time."
"So serious?" Lin Ji couldn't believe it.
The prisoner in the cell punched the guard outside to death.
Although these jailers are not high in cultivation, they all have the second level of cultivation.
So even if the prisoners here have no Dantian, they can still deal with these second-level jailers?
"Hey, that prisoner is born with supernatural powers."
While he was talking, he happened to pass by a cell where the prison was forcibly opened.
There are still some blood stains on the ground here, but there are even more blood stains in the cell.
"That's it right here. That guy was killed on the spot, but my brother couldn't die anymore, hey."
"My condolences." Lin Ji didn't know what to say, so he could only say a weak word of relief.
Soon, the jailer led Lin Ji to Qi Zheng's cell.
"Captain Qi, someone is here to see you." The jailer didn't know that Lin Ji was here to investigate the case. He just thought that Lin Ji was a good friend of Qi Zheng and came to visit him in prison.
The jailer opened the cell door and left. Lin Ji was ordered by Sun Heya himself, so he naturally opened the door for convenience.
Lin Ji walked into the cell and came to Qi Zheng's side.
At this time, Qi Zheng could not see the high-spirited spirit that he had forcibly taken away from the Yamen of Dali Temple before.
Facing the interrogation of the three divisions and the three high-ranking officials, he was not timid at all.
At this moment, Qi Zheng was just huddled in the corner, his body covered in dust and his hair messed up.
He doesn't look like a chief police officer, but like a down-and-out common man who has become half a beggar.
"How did you end up in this situation? Even if you are caught, you won't be so desperate, right?" Lin Ji said casually.
Hearing someone speaking, Qi Zheng finally raised his head.
When he saw Lin Ji, a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He reluctantly raised his hand as a greeting.
"I made Lin Zhang Ling laugh. You and I obviously have no friendship. Lin Zhang Ling came to see me specially. Qi is very grateful... but I am afraid it will be difficult to repay this favor in this life."
Lin Ji heard this strangely.
Just then, the case file was handed over to Supervisor Tiansi. He had just started investigating, but Qi Zheng already felt that he was going to die?
Generally speaking, this kind of situation occurs in the most vicious people who commit heinous crimes. They know that they must die, so they become hardened.
Each one of them had the mentality that they would kill me, as if they really had a big scar on their head, but they never thought that they would be given a complete set of torture before they died.
Or, it's like a blood feud is avenged, the murderer must die, but there is no regret.
In this way, he might be able to die calmly.
But this was the first time Lin Ji had seen Qi Zheng, who was so decadent, with a face full of injustice, and yet bent on death.
"I'm here to investigate your case. If you have any grievances, just tell me and I will clear your name." Lin Ji became a little more solemn. After saying this, he patted Qi Zheng on the shoulder.
Hearing this, Qi Zheng's eyes seemed to have a little more light.
He stared at Lin Ji for a long time, and finally lowered his head again.
"I was originally the chief catcher of Sishui County. I was transferred to the capital city as the chief catcher of Jingzhou after being appreciated by Mr. Sun."
Lin Ji said nothing and listened silently.
"Sishui County is east of Jingzhou, close to the sea... That place is said to be Jingzhou, but it is actually somewhat remote, so some information is not clear."
As he spoke, Qi Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Among these things, there is the matter of me colluding with evil spirits and killing people."
Hearing this, Lin Ji perked up.
"Did you really do it?"
If Qi Zheng really did such a thing, no matter what the reason was, he would not escape death.
"That's not true." Qi Zheng shook his head.
"Don't gasp when you speak." Lin Ji muttered dissatisfiedly.
But Qi Zheng didn't look at Lin Ji at all. Fear and panic gradually appeared on his face, mixed with a bit of despair.
There was a tremor in his voice, too.
"That demon...that demon..."
