Chapter 1199 Fei Boyuan: Remember this, I'll protect him from now on!
That same day, the young master Liu was taken back to the Six Doors for interrogation.
The interrogation process was very simple.
Contrary to expectations, there was no torture or forced confession. Although the officials kept waving whips, chains, and tiger benches around, they never actually used them on Young Master Liu.
of course.
This is also related to the fact that Young Master Liu confessed honestly after being questioned a few times.
Liu Gong was indeed killed by him, and his method of committing the crime was exactly the same as what Gu Xiu had previously deduced.
Of course, there are slight discrepancies.
The young master Liu actually planned to drug his biological father, then stage a suicide, and he even prepared a "handwritten suicide note from Master Liu." However, unexpectedly, Li Changgong suddenly visited him last night during the crime.
Left with no other choice, Young Master Liu changed his mind and decided to stage the suicide scene as a murder scene, which led to what happened next.
His account even prompted the police to act quickly and find a lot of evidence.
It was broken prematurely, but it's clear that it wasn't broken by kicking the door.
Young Master Liu was preparing to forge a "handwritten suicide note".
The talisman that Young Master Liu used to remove his own marks from the dagger.
And the poison he used, which caused Liu Gong and Li Changgong to fall into a coma one after the other.
The evidence is truly irrefutable!
However, what Gu Xiu didn't expect was...
When asked why he would harm his biological father, Liu Gongzi gritted his teeth and said that he killed his father simply because he could not stand his father's control over him. He accused his father of scolding and beating him every day, driving away the woman he loved, and finally accusing his father of being unworthy of being a father and refusing to help him pay off his gambling debts.
This series of events led to Liu Gongzi committing the crime against him.
Gu Xiu had been observing from the sidelines. When he heard the motive for patricide, he was a little taken aback. Looking at the others around him, he found that although most of them were somewhat surprised, they did not find it too unbelievable.
He simply turned his gaze to another person beside him.
It was a priest wearing a straight-hemmed robe and a tall mountain-shaped crown.
Zheng Tuo told Gu Xiu that this person followed the Legalist divine way of governance, which was said to be very powerful in distinguishing truth from falsehood, although it did not have much combat power.
According to Zheng Tuo, no one can lie in the face of Legalist rule.
This made Gu Xiu even more curious about the power of the divine way. It was just a pity that the priest did not stay long. After listening to Young Master Liu's account and confirming that everything Young Master Liu said was true, the priest took his leave and left without staying for even a moment longer.
"What, are you curious?" Zheng Tuo noticed Gu Xiu's attention and said with a smile, "The abilities of each divine path are different, especially the healing methods, which are one in a million. You probably haven't been exposed to them before, have you?"
"The village I used to live in was a small place, and we rarely came into contact with the divine path, otherwise we wouldn't have gone through all that trouble to walk the spiritual energy path," Gu Xiu explained casually.
No one doubted this statement.
After all, Tian Shi Yuan is known to be just a series of small villages, some of which disappear at any time. So, in that place, it's considered good if there's even one temple among dozens of villages. In addition, Gu Xiu always labeled himself as a country bumpkin from Tian Shi Yuan, which made people think that it was reasonable for him to ask any idiotic questions.
"Don't underestimate yourself. The spiritual energy path, as a once mainstream path, is definitely extraordinary." Zheng Tu shook his head and smiled.
"As for that priest just now, you don't need to pay too much attention to him, and it's best not to deal with such a person. In fact, even we don't like to deal with people who follow the Legalist school of thought."
"Oh? Why?" Gu Xiu asked curiously.
Zheng Tuo replied, "The Legalist way of the gods has two paths: criminal law and rule by methods. The criminal law path is more inclined towards internal investigation and trial. Many people in our government are on this path, mainly responsible for investigating criminals and arresting criminals."
Gu Xiu nodded, thinking of the methods Zheng Tuo and his group had used before, such as the "all-encompassing net of justice," which were indeed abilities specifically designed for apprehending criminals and conducting investigations.
“Although our criminal law also emphasizes that the law cannot be violated, we are also human beings and may act expediently within the scope of the law. But the rule of law is different. The rule of law is very extreme and has extremely harsh requirements on the law. Some of them do not even see themselves as human beings, but as part of the law. They have no human feelings at all.”
"Moreover, although they lack combat ability, they have the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood at a glance. Communicating with such people is not only not fun, but you might even get a barrage of sarcastic remarks if you make a small joke."
Gu Xiu thought for a moment and realized that the priest was present. Although everyone was hoping that the priest could help them solve the case, no one was willing to communicate with him much. They maintained a purely official attitude from beginning to end.
That's exactly what Zheng Tuo said.
Seeing that the other party was easy to talk to, Gu Xiu simply asked another question that had been bothering him: "Officer Zheng, I've noticed that you don't seem too surprised that Young Master Liu killed his biological father over such a trivial matter. Does this kind of thing happen often in the city?"
"Indeed, there are quite a few, or rather, there are many cases that are even more heinous than this."
"Let alone patricide, I have seen newlywed couples kill the husband's entire family overnight because of a disagreement. I have also seen people drown their children because they thought the children were too noisy and crying."
These words made Gu Xiu's eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
For ordinary people, it is possible to do something impulsive in a fit of anger. Gu Xiu has also seen many cruel things. But judging from Zheng Tuo's words, these cases, which would cause an uproar in Haoyu, seem to be commonplace in Wuwei City.
even……
Not surprising?
Could it be that the Three Enclosures and the Sea of Evil is truly a place where all evils of the world converge?
But if you say it that way, then something is not quite right.
Although Gu Xiu had only been in the Three Rings of Sin for two days and had seen many evils along the way, at least within these three rings, there seemed to be very few such cases. In fact, most people were quite kind.
Suddenly, Gu Xiu remembered what the Moon-Gazing Supreme had said before.
Those who live in the Sea of Sin will be slowly corrupted and may eventually become monstrous evil beings. Just think of those terrifying monstrous evil beings in the gray fog, monsters filled with extreme evil, lust, and greed.
Could it be that……
The reason why so many cases that would cause a sensation in Haoyu are commonplace in Wuwei City is because the evil in the Sea of Sin affects the people living here.
"Haha, Brother Gu, you really haven't left yet!"
Just as he was pondering, a loud, even somewhat exaggerated, laugh rang out. Gu Xiu didn't even need to turn around to know that it must be Fei Boyuan, whose performance was almost unworthy of being a constable. Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw Fei Boyuan striding towards him with a face full of wild joy. Gu Xiu immediately clasped his hands in a respectful greeting.
"Your subordinate has met with Officer Fei."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't do that, don't do that!" Fei Boyuan grabbed Gu Xiu and said, "You are the hero who solved this case. From now on, just call me Brother Fei or Brother Boyuan. Don't call me anything like 'Head Constable,' or I'll feel like you're mocking me."
As he spoke, Fei Boyuan clapped his hands to greet the other constables around him, then put his arm around Gu Xiu's shoulder and introduced him to everyone:
"Everyone, let's get to know each other. This is our brilliant detective, and the great hero of this locked-room murder case!"
"Gu Xiu, Brother Gu!"
"Remember this, Brother Gu is under my protection now. You can't bully him just because he's new here. Otherwise, I won't show any mercy and will teach you a lesson!"
"have you understood?"
These words surprised Gu Xiu somewhat.
After all, based on his observation, he could tell that this Constable Fei was neither capable nor intelligent. Gu Xiu had thought that the other party was a greedy person who rose to power through connections and was somewhat wary of whether this person would hold a grudge because he had taken credit from the other party.
Unexpectedly, the other party openly admitted their achievements and even made such a statement.
To Gu Xiu's surprise, the other patrol officers nearby were also full of praise:
"So it was Brother Gu who solved this case. Impressive, truly impressive. If I were in charge of this case, I'd probably be completely lost, and the real culprit would have gotten away."
"That's right. It's fortunate that Brother Gu intervened. I heard that the man surnamed Liu was planning to take over the position of temple instructor as soon as possible today. If we hadn't caught him on the spot, even if we suspected him in the end, we wouldn't have been able to do anything to him."
"Confucianism also has problems with its own system of hereditary positions. If that kid hadn't known he could succeed to the position of instructor and thus evade scrutiny and interrogation by other religious sects, he probably wouldn't have dared to kill Lord Liu."
"To put it bluntly, Brother Gu's ability to uncover the real culprit in such a difficult case is truly admirable!"
"..."
This situation was something Gu Xiu hadn't anticipated.
Everyone seems to be...
They were unexpectedly kind.
