Even though I have touched April's hair, the temperature in the north is still freezing, especially in the early morning. The howling cold wind makes people shiver.
After a night of thinking, Su Mufeng already had a clear idea about the case here, and now only a few important pieces of evidence were missing.
But before Su Mufeng could leave the inn, Zhu Xian and an attendant had already rushed over.
"Sir, there are indeed some." Zhu Xian said to Su Mufeng, opened his palm, and saw a few blood-stained nepeta in his palm: "But the number is very small, and it is not on the collar. Instead, it fell on the clothes and was stained with blood, making it difficult to find.”
"It doesn't matter, as long as you find it." Su Mufeng nodded.
"Su Sizhong, we did find traces of Nepeta in Tsing Yi Tailor Shop, but the amount was very small." The attendant also said, "We are keeping them under guard."
"In this case, please find someone to inform Uncle Chu that the net can be closed here." Su Mufeng nodded: "Not one of them, including Yuan Mao, Mao Slave, and Boss Xu, must be arrested and taken to the government office! In addition, , inform everyone in the town that we will interrogate the cat demon in the government office at noon today, everyone is welcome to come and hear the trial!"
"Yes!" The attendant nodded and left quickly.
"Let's go." After the attendants left, Su Mufeng said to Zhu Xian: "Let's go to the government office to prepare. Then we will have a good meeting with this so-called cat god!"
Soon, everything went on in an orderly manner. Both the cat slave and Boss Xu were directly escorted to the government office. Only Member Mao was invited because of his special status.
While Su Mufeng and Zhu Xian were chatting with the county magistrate in the government office, Eunuch Chu quickly walked into the lobby.
"Su Sizhi, everyone has been brought here, what do you think?" Eunuch Chu came to Su Mufeng and asked in a deep voice: "It's okay for Mao Nu and Boss Xu. After all, Mao Yuanwai was an official. , it’s not easy to deal with.”
"That's why I bother Uncle Chu. If someone else goes, I'm afraid that Mao Yuanwai may not be willing to come." Su Mufeng stood up with a smile, helped Eunuch Chu to sit on the main seat, and then sat aside .
"I have no problem bringing him here, but you have to give me an explanation." Eunuch Chu said.
"Well, it will take some time. There are some things I can't say yet." Su Mufeng said solemnly, "But uncle Chu, you can rest assured that I will definitely not cause you any trouble."
"Haha." Eunuch Chu smiled bitterly: "You staying here and refusing to leave is already the biggest trouble."
"Su Si Zhi." At this point, Eunuch Chu suddenly said: "Today is the third day of the deadline. You shouldn't mess up everything in order to solve the case."
"Of course not." Su Mufeng shook his head: "Don't worry, the case will definitely be solved today!"
Then Su Mufeng started chatting with the county magistrate about local customs. No matter how anxious Eunuch Chu was, he never answered.
Finally, just before noon, Chen Sheng rushed back.
After learning the news, Su Mufeng did not ask Chen Sheng to come to him, but asked him to go to the court directly. At the same time, Su Mufeng looked at Eunuch Chu and the Beizhen County Magistrate, and said with a smile: "Two adults, let's go, let's have a good meeting Go to this cat god!"
By the time Su Mufeng arrived at the court, the place was already surrounded by people. In the middle of the court, Mr. Mao was sitting on his seat eating fruits. Next to him were the cat slave and Boss Xu kneeling on the ground.
"Lord County Magistrate, this is the government office of Beizhen. Are you here to preside over the trial?" Su Mufeng walked to the court and looked at the Beizhen County Magistrate with a smile.
After hearing this, the county magistrate waved his hands repeatedly: "How dare you, how dare you. It's up to you, Su Sichong."
"This, isn't it good?" Su Mufeng looked at Eunuch Chu.
"As a Dali Temple official, you are qualified to hear any case." Eunuch Chu said solemnly: "Furthermore, this case is what you want to investigate and you are responsible for. Naturally, you will be the one to try it. The county magistrate and I Just watch from the sidelines.”
Then Eunuch Chu and the county magistrate walked aside and sat down.
"Then I'm not welcome." After hearing this, Su Mufeng smiled and walked to the seat above and sat down. Then he looked at Member Mao and said, "Commissioner Mao, it's been a long time since you've been here. Have the government officials here been negligent?"
"I have met Eunuch Chu." Mao Yuanwai first saluted Eunuch Chu, and then looked at Su Mufeng, with a hint of displeasure in his voice: "I wonder why nephew Su Xian asked me to come here?"
"Of course it's because of the demon cat murder case in this town." Su Mufeng said directly.
"Haha, what does the cat demon murder case have to do with me?" Mao Yuanwai shook his head: "Nephew Su Xian, you don't think that I killed those people, do you? Why should I kill them?"
"No rush, no rush." Su Mufeng said with a smile: "Now that the real owners are here, let's talk about this case slowly, there is no rush."
"Your Majesty the County Magistrate, fellow citizens of Beizhen, I am Su Mufeng, the son of Beizhu Kingdom. I am appointed as the director of Dali Temple by the Holy Family. I happened to pass by our Beizhen the day before yesterday..." Su Mufeng said solemnly.
"Why do these words sound so familiar?" Zhu Xian, who was standing aside, suddenly whispered to Chen Sheng: "Young master, will you soon tell everyone that the rich can support themselves and the poor can support themselves..."
"Haha..." When Chen Sheng heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly and said coldly: "Shut up and listen to the young master."
"Prude..." Zhu Xian curled his lips.
"...The majesty of the monarch is like the sun, shining for eternity, protecting the country of Wei Dynasty; but the demon cat's mere fireflies and candles dare to compete with the sun!" Su Mufeng did not hear Zhu Xian's words, but spoke impassionedly, and went on to say the following Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering what Su Mufeng wanted to say.
"Therefore, with your Majesty's grace, the haze of the demon cat case has been swept away. I am worthy of my father's kindness in raising me and your Majesty's cultivation. I finally found the truth about this matter." Su Mufeng continued: "Today , I am here to reveal the truth of the entire demon cat case for everyone!"
"Then now, the trial of this case will begin!" As he spoke, Su Mufeng suddenly hit the gavel.
"Master Chu, this Master Su is also a wonderful man." Seeing this, the Beizhen County Magistrate whispered to Eunuch Chu.
"Stop talking, I really can't figure out what he is thinking." Eunuch Chu sighed: "But he probably won't be aimless. Let's see."
"Yes." The Beizhen County Magistrate nodded and looked at Su Mufeng expectantly.
"Speaking of this case, I want to ask you two first." Su Mufeng's eyes fell on Boss Xu and the cat slave: "Do you plead guilty?"
