Chapter XVI Interrogation

Detective Situ revealed a lot of information in his words, and when Zhong Hou was about to ask further, he found that the destination had already arrived.

"Thick man, you stay here for a few days first, and wait for the trial to begin. Rest assured, no one will embarrass you these days. ”

The destination is naturally the place where the Situ family holds the prisoners, and this situation is obviously not suitable for asking any more, so I can only wait for the opportunity to find an opportunity later.

"Thank you. Zhong Hou thanked Situ Shen from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't imagine that they hadn't known each other for less than an hour, but the other party was so heartfelt, and it was definitely a friend worth making deeply.

The next time is just as Detective Situ said, Zhong Hou eats and lives well in the cell, and there is still time to cultivate. As for the rumored things about beating prisoners and beating them into tricks, they didn't happen to Zhong Hou at all.

Ten days passed.

In the preliminary round, just like Zhong Hou encountered, the clues came from the people. As long as you are lucky enough to meet the right person, known as the NPC who publishes the quest in the game world, and is enthusiastic about the NPC, so that the NPC has a good impression, the NPC will issue a quest for you, and you can get the target item by completing the quest.

From this point, it can be seen that the Situ family does have a set of management of Anyang City, and the discipline has been grasped from the root. If a lawless person is allowed to serve as a guard, the higher the cultivation and the stronger the strength, the greater the harm to the people.

It's just that only 4,999 people have been promoted, and there is one target item that has become evidence in court at this time.

In order not to affect the conduct of the preliminary round, Zhong Hou's trial was scheduled after the preliminary round.

Situ Fu always thought that Zhong Hou was still competing, and he didn't know that his son had been in the cell for several days, let alone that today was the day his son was arraigned. In other words, someone deliberately blocked the news and did not let the news reach Situ Fu's ears, so as not to cause any variables.

On this day, Zhong Hou was taken to a slightly gloomy hall.

The main hall is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, but because the decoration of the main hall is very special, and the surrounding area is full of their own torture instruments, it makes people feel that the space is very oppressive.

The atmosphere in the hall was even more chilling.

Zhong Hou had a clear conscience and was not afraid at all, and followed the guards into the hall with their heads held high.

Entering the hall, Zhong Hou clearly saw three different groups of people, one sitting, one standing, and one kneeling.

Kneeling at the foot of the hall were a group of noodle shopkeepers, including the shopkeeper, the owner's daughter, and a group of men.

There were only two people sitting, one sitting high in the middle, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his figure was more like a circle than Zhong Hou. The military uniform on his body is bulging, not at all like the judge hearing the case, but more like a general fighting on the front line.

The other is a scholar who looks like a master.

Standing on the left and right were a group of guards holding wooden staffs, all with fierce eyes, looking down on the kneeling people condescendingly.

There was also a group of people standing behind the guards, but they were blocked by the guards, and Zhong Hou didn't notice it.

If Zhong Hou saw these people, he would find that he knew several of them. Among them are Detective Situ, who has just met, and the chief examiner and deputy examiner of this selection competition.

And Sister Hong, the initiator of this incident, was also at the scene, and there were several farm handymen standing next to her.

It is also not known in what capacity they came.

"Get down on your knees ... The guards escorted Zhong Hou into the hall, and with a scolding, they were about to press him to his knees.

Immediately, several powerful forces pressed on Zhong Hou's shoulder, causing him to sink down and almost kneel.

He snorted coldly, used all his strength to fight against it, and swore not to kneel. No matter how hard the guards tried, Zhong Hou's huge body still stood proudly on the spot, and his knees did not bend in the slightest.

It's just that the clicking sound from the bones makes everyone understand that Zhong Hou is struggling to support.

Situ Zheng is one of the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, and his strength has reached the sixth level of the day after tomorrow, and he is the chief judge of this case.

When he saw that his subordinates on the second floor of the day after tomorrow couldn't make Zhong Hou kneel, he was also slightly taken aback, but then he was shocked and said angrily: "Why don't the prisoners in the hall kneel when they see this official." ”

"I Zhong Hou only kneels to the sky and the ground to his parents, and never kneels to others. Zhong Hou replied proudly.

Hearing this, Sister Hong sneered in her heart, and said in her heart that this beast was looking for death by herself.

However, the other guards all lit up, and a trace of appreciation flashed in their eyes, secretly saying that this kid has backbone. Including Situ Zheng, his impression of Zhong Hou was a little better.

The most important thing for a cultivator is arrogance, and if he doesn't, he doesn't deserve to be a cultivator at all. A person who compromises easily and gives in easily will have limited future achievements even if he becomes a cultivator.

But this is not something that ordinary people like Sister Hong can understand.

Out of the majesty of the presiding judge, Situ Zheng still asked solemnly: "You are wearing a sinful body, is it still insulting to let you kneel?"

"It's not clear what happened, what my guilt is. ”

"Okay, I'll convince you. After that, he no longer asked Zhong Hou to kneel, but signaled to the master beside him.

Seeing this, Sister Hong felt a burst of doubt, and a trace of bad feeling rose in her heart.

Zhong Houben was a handyman of the Situ family, responsible for the cultivation of hundreds of acres of fertile land of the Situ family. Now the Situ family recruited guards, and Zhong Hou participated in the competition as a lowly person, and this kind of striving for the top should be commendable and learned. However, during the competition, he intended to do bad things against women from good families, and such acts were deeply disgusting. In accordance with the law of the Situ family, the case is now being tried in court. The master got the signal and announced loudly.

Next, Situ Zheng first questioned the victim's testimony.

If there is no accident, there is no discrepancy between the testimony and the 'facts'. The girl's acting skills were as good as ever, which made the guards present believe in Zhong Hou's bestial behavior, and the little goodwill that had just risen was gone, and several examiners in the selection competition frowned.

Such a bad thing happened during the competition, and they naturally had to come to the scene to find out the truth as examiners.

After that, Sister Situ Zhengxuan Hong and a group of farm handymen testified in court.

Only then did Zhong Hou realize that these people had long been 'hiding' behind.

Although it is suspected that Sister Hong set up a frame-up, on the surface, Sister Hong has nothing to do with this case, and I don't know why she was summoned to testify.

"Tell me what the suspect's character was during his time as a handyman on the farm. ”

Situ Zheng asked, and everyone understood what he meant. It can be said that his law enforcement is still very impartial, and he did not jump to conclusions because of the one-sided words of a few people in the noodle restaurant.

But as Zhong Hou expected, their testimony was surprisingly consistent. Bad evaluations such as being lazy and bullying the weak are all focused on Zhong Hou.

After listening, Situ Zheng frowned.

After thinking about it, he didn't say anything, and then summoned Detective Situ and other guards who participated in the arrest that day.

Detective Situ told everything that happened at the scene that day very honestly, not more than a word, not a lot of words.

What the other guards said was no different from Detective Situ.

Seeing this, Zhong Hou sneered in his heart, fortunately he still has a backhand, otherwise the superficial evidence alone would be enough to convict him.
