Chapter 417: Stop pretending [asking for a monthly ticket! ]

"The case on Yungong Mountain has nothing to do with us. We were rafting by at the time and found someone setting fire on the mountain. We also tried to stop it." Liang Yue said directly.

"Then what is your relationship with the mountain bandit Pangolin? Why did you cover his escape from prison?" Lu Dongqiang asked again.

"It has nothing to do with it." Liang Yue shook his head again.

"Then why did you come to the prison cell of the young master of the Qi family?" Lu Dongqiang asked again.

"This is even more of a coincidence. The pangolin dug in the wrong place, and when he came out he happened to see the young master of the Qi family dead there." Liang Yue continued to answer.

"Heh." Qi Delong suddenly smiled, "Master Lu, I think if you don't torture them severely, they won't confess the truth."

"Since Lord Zhao took office, abuse of punishment is no longer allowed in Qingdu Prison." Lu Dongqiang said expressionlessly.

"Zhao Fa's ancestors have disappeared, and you are still talking about this?" Qi Delong frowned slightly. "Anyway, my son died in your prison, someone has to give me an explanation!"

Liang Yue and the others looked at Lu Dongqiang and thought that he was a pretty good guy.

Nowadays, when solving cases in the government offices, they insist on beating people first and then asking questions. You have to behave yourself. Even if an unsolvable case is pinned on you, you have to sign and seal your name obediently, otherwise you will never be able to leave the door.

Now that Zhao Faxian is gone, it is truly remarkable that his subordinates still insist on not using torture to extract confessions and not fawning on the powerful.

This proves that his hard work in the Qingdu Prison Department over the years has been quite effective.

Then thinking further, how could such a person be a traitor?

I feel more and more that there is something fishy going on.

"Mr. Qi, please don't be anxious." Lu Dongqiang was neither humble nor arrogant. He turned to look at Liang Yue and asked, "If the Yungong Mountain fire had nothing to do with you, then why did you escape from prison with Pangolin? If you are not afraid of the crime, why did you escape?"

This is indeed a point that cannot be circumvented.

The reason why they are involved in so many suspicions is actually because they want to obtain more information and take the initiative to get involved in some things.

If he were a normal tourist from outside the area, it would be impossible for him to go up Yungong Mountain while rafting, nor would he agree to help the pangolin escape from prison, let alone encounter Qi Boqing's murder case.

When he asked this, Liang Yue knew that he had to reveal his identity.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from the other end of the cell, and a powerful voice shouted, "Master Lu!"

Lu Dongqiang turned his head and saw a man wearing a constable's uniform and carrying a knife walking towards him. The man had a beard, thick eyebrows and round eyes, and his face looked very ferocious.

In addition to a group of constables following behind him, there was another person beside him, who was Qi Zhongqing, whom Chen Ju had met not long ago.

"Dad." Qi Zhongqing walked over and said, "I called Captain Liu over."

"Yeah." Qi Delong nodded.

"Captain Liu, it seems that the prison didn't notify you to come over?" Lu Dongqiang frowned.

"I, Liu Dashan, am the chief constable of the two yamen in Qingdu, in charge of all criminal arrests in Yunlu City. Such a serious case has happened in this prison, so of course I have to lead a team to check it out." Constable Liu said heavily, "But such a big mess has happened in the prison in charge of you, Chief Lu, and you didn't even notify my police station to come over. Could it be that the people in your cell have colluded with the murderer?"

"Liu Dashan, don't talk nonsense!" Lu Dongqiang said coldly.

"Who is the real problem? We will know once we investigate the case." Qi Zhongqing said, "I heard that my eldest brother died tragically in prison, and several murderers were caught on the spot. Who else could it be but them? It is really chilling that Chief Lu did not punish them severely..."

As he spoke, he came to the outside of the cell and looked inside. His eyes were stunned. "But then again, the person at the scene is not necessarily the murderer."

……

The current situation was a bit confusing, and Liang Yue sorted it out a little.

Liu Dashan and Lu Dongqiang obviously represent the two factions within the Criminal Justice Department after Zhao Faxian disappeared. One faction still adheres to the rules set by Zhao Faxian; the other faction may have been dissatisfied from the beginning and has now begun to let go.

The Qi family was not united. As the second son, Qi Zhongqing naturally hoped that the eldest son would die.

However, he was just thinking about how to bribe the new prison officer to kill his eldest brother tonight, and there was a high probability that he had not had time to do it. Qi Boqing's death should be a pleasant surprise to him.

If it was really him who did it, then what he should be thinking about now is to quickly push the blame onto those unlucky guys who were caught at the scene, let them take the blame, then the matter will be over, and he can inherit the position of the head of the family beautifully.

But when he saw the unlucky guys again, he probably felt uncomfortable again. Because he had just met them in the evening, and before dawn, they had killed his eldest brother... It was hard to explain.

You said it wasn't you who ordered it.

Who believes it?
They must have so much free time to go to such great lengths to kill your elder brother, with whom they had no grudge against each other.

Qi Zhongqing's mood must have been like a roller coaster experience.

Seeing that his tone was strange, Qi Delong turned around and asked, "Do you know them?"

"I have met you before." Qi Zhongqing could only nod blankly and said, "Let the Criminal Justice Department investigate."

"Leave it to me." Liu Dashan laughed evilly, "Within three hours, I will make sure they confess."

"Captain Liu, there are experts here, you'd better not act recklessly." Lu Dongqiang reminded again.

Liu Dashan arrived late and might not have known the pressure that Hu Delu had just brought to the Qigong practitioners of the Criminal Justice Department.

But Captain Liu just laughed, "Lu Dongqiang, you and I are the emperor's employees and share his worries. Now the murderer is right in front of you, but you are afraid to act. Are you doing this to His Majesty? Are you doing this to the tragic death of Master Qi? If there is any danger, let me, Liu Dashan, be the first to go!"

After that, he waved his hand and said, "Bring all these people out to me and have them tried in batches!"

Seeing those ferocious detectives about to come in to arrest people, the atmosphere in the field became tense, and Hu Delu blocked the prince behind him.

At this moment, another clear shout came from the other end of the cell: "Stop!"

Then a man in a scarlet official robe came running towards them, followed by a group of followers. When the people present saw him, they all asked in surprise, "Master Xu?"

The man was thin, with sunken cheeks and a sallow complexion. He ran forward a few steps, immediately prostrated himself on the ground, and said loudly: "I am Xu Shunmin, your humble servant. I am late in welcoming you and have offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

Your Royal Highness?

These words shocked everyone.

The current crown prince is imprisoned in this cell?

Xu Shunmin is the top leader in Yunlu City. As an official sent from the Divine Capital, it is impossible for him to admit his mistake.

Everyone present looked at Liang Yue and saw that he had no expression on his face. Then they looked at Chen Ju and saw that Chen Ju also stepped aside. Then they looked at Hu Delu...

It was not until the end that all suspicious eyes fell on the least imposing fat man in the cell.

"Alas." Under the gaze of the whole audience, the prince finally sighed, "I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be met with suspicion. I won't pretend anymore. I am the prince, and I'm going to show my cards now!"

"His Royal Highness!"

Once their identities were revealed, all those who had been showing off their power just now fell to the ground, not daring to look up.

It turned out that the person they treated as a suspect and almost tortured was actually the current crown prince. For a moment, everyone's faces looked unhappy.

This man looked short and fat, and didn't look very majestic, but when I heard that he was the prince, I suddenly felt that he became scary?

It makes people dare not even look directly at it.

The prince smiled, "How did Lord Xu know I was here?"

Xu Shunmin said, "The court sent an urgent letter of appointment, appointing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the imperial envoy to thoroughly investigate the case of Zhao Faxian, and the immortal official Liang Yue to temporarily take over the post of Yunlu City's prison official. It just so happened that the situation of Qi Boqing's case was also sent to me. When I saw these names, I guessed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was on a secret visit and didn't want to be recognized, so he used an alias. I just didn't expect that my subordinates would be so bold as to detain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Not only did they detain me, but if you had come a few steps later, they would have tortured me!" the prince said loudly.

"Hmm?" Xu Shunmin looked at Lu Dongqiang.

Lu Dongqiang immediately looked at Liu Dashan, Liu Dashan quickly looked at Qi Delong, and Qi Delong looked indifferently at Qi Zhongqing.

He originally just wanted his son to take the blame, saying a few words that the child was anxious and ignorant, so he put pressure on the Criminal Justice Department, and the matter would be over.

Unexpectedly, Qi Zhongqing stared blankly at the prince's chubby face, his eyes full of emptiness, and he muttered something, vaguely as if saying: "It's over now... It's all over..."
