Chapter 33: Temptation
Junyi's kind attitude is the same as before. Today, he is still wearing a plain white official uniform, with a soapy blue gold inlaid jade belt around his waist, a gold medal of the Execution Division hanging underneath, and a big red tassel pendant, which is particularly conspicuous against the background of the white satin-faced official uniform.
This handsome and upright appearance, with a kind face, together with the spotless plain official uniform on his body, appeared with the cold and cruel torture instruments on both sides, which seemed very incompatible.
Qin Bai was stunned, thanked his seat, got up from the ground tremblingly, and carefully moved half of his ass to the stool.
"Don't be nervous, I never use torture when I ask for a confession."
Jun Yi smiled naturally, supplemented the file in front of him, picked up the pen and licked it on the inkstone, and said calmly: "It's all routine, don't toss around." After recording the confession early, we both saved trouble...... Well, where to start? ”
Then, Jun Qi repeated what he had asked in the palace, and he answered truthfully as before, and Jun Qi always lowered his head and concentrated on making notes on the snow-white rice paper.
Every sentence had to be written in black and white, and the pace of the conversation between the two slowed down significantly.
Qin Bai looked at Jun Qi's serious appearance in the interval of his record, and couldn't help but secretly wonder about their brothers: the eldest brother is a tuan, the old six is a grub, the seventh is called Jianyi, and the one in front of him is the eighth one called Junyi...... If it's named after the nine sons of the dragon, obviously this person's painting style doesn't seem to be right?
"Your name is Junyi? …… Are you sure it's not a fox? Qin Bai didn't know which line he had set up in his brain, so he suddenly asked.
"That's right."
Jun Yi didn't raise his eyelids, and replied: "When I was a child, I was called smooth by my mother, and I didn't bother to change it when I grew up." ”
"So you're not a fox fairy, are you?"
Although this family is not the fox family he expected, the painting style is the same.
"It's not."
Occasional chit-chat eased the originally tense atmosphere a lot, and Qin Bai was not as scared as Fang Cai.
"So, since you planned the whole thing premeditatedly, do you admit that you deliberately killed Zhao Zheng?" Junyi quietly pulled the topic back and went straight to the point.
"I didn't kill anyone."
Jun Yi hooked the corners of his mouth, the pen in his hand suddenly stopped, raised his eyes and looked at him calmly: "Well, I still don't want to admit my guilt, do you?" ”
"I really didn't kill anyone." Qin Bai repeated in an accentuated tone.
"Okay." Jun Yi raised his eyebrows: "Then let's talk about the accomplices first." ”
"No accomplices."
Qin Bai denied it very simply.
Jun Yi frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his kind eyes: "Frankly speaking, with Your Excellency's level of disguise, even Xue He can see it at a glance, do you think I can't see it?" ”
Jun Yi seemed to hold the pen in his hand casually, and gently pinched off the floating hair on the tip of the pen with two fingers: "When we met in the barracks that day, I said that I was on official business, and I was investigating your case. ”
Qin Bai was secretly surprised: now that he thinks back to the situation that day, he only wonders if this is a family brother and sister, and he has never thought about it deeply, which is really careless!
With such an eye-catching red-maned fierce horse swaggering through the market, she is absolutely ordinary, and she didn't even ask her about the identity of her brother, so she only cared about her sourness, alas......
"Even if you have investigated Zhao Zheng, even if you know him again, you will not know many details of life. If you only pretend to be for three or five days, and you don't wear it for months, there must be someone to help you. ”
"Nope."
Jun Qi sighed, put the pen down, interlocked his fingers, and looked at him lightly:
"Actually, although it is not in accordance with the rules for you to pretend to be the prince, you have never done evil. According to the law of heaven, the sentence is a matter of suffering a little and squashing in prison for several years. Even if you have a hard bone and no confession, we can still close the case with just evidence. ”
He paused and continued: "What I asked you today, and the confession I recorded, was only for the length of your sentence - no matter how much you say, in the end I will still find out the truth of the matter, which has little to do with your final conviction, and is just a reference for sentencing." ”
When Qin Bai heard this, he actually smiled bitterly: "It seems that there are unjust cases in the world, and even the Heavenly Palace is not exempt from vulgarity." ”
"There is naturally a god of prison who has completely no unjust cases."
Jun Yi flattened his mouth: "It's a pity that the lower level is limited, and a small lawsuit like Your Excellency can't be personally interrogated by the Good Law Tianzun, her old man is very busy!" …… I just want to advise you, don't toss me with your noble hand, even if it's for the sake of me that I helped you at the beginning, don't carry it! If Heavenly Court really wanted to investigate something, there was nothing that it couldn't understand. ”
His tone was still as polite as before, and as he spoke, he shook the scroll in his hand: "With this level of confession, do you want your boss to scold me to death?" ”
Qin Bai lowered his eyes a little distractedly, and said stubbornly: "I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't have accomplices. ”
"Yes, it looks like you're making a heart."
Jun Qi sighed, touched his forehead with a little headache, and said, "Okay, since you said that you had investigated the palace in advance, how did you check it?" How many times in total, at what time and in what way? ”
He was obviously stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this kind of detail problem, and paused for a moment before saying: "Probably, two or three times, specifically, the time is a bit long and I can't remember clearly, you let me think about it......"
When this person was lying, he simply wrote the four big words "I'm making it up" directly on his face, and his acting skills were so inferior that it was outrageous.
Jun Yi furrowed his brows and couldn't bear to interrupt him: "...... Do you think I'm stupid? It's easy to fool, isn't it? ”
Qin Bai was no matter how stupid he was, he could hear that this was a counterstatement, and he panicked, and immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.
"I remind you that this is the lobby of the Execution Division, and every word you say will be recorded, and it will be directly related to whether you will be a prisoner or regain your freedom."
Jun Yi raised a gentle smile and looked at him coldly: "Although I personally do not support torture to extract confessions, I suggest that you better not test my bottom line. ”
It was probably the harshest tone he'd ever heard from Junyi.
To say that you are not afraid is absolutely a lie.
In the past, when Xuehe was present, her brothers were still kind-faced, polite and easy to speak, but now they have completely changed their faces. Especially when Jun Qi's gaze swept over the cold and terrifying torture instruments on both sides of the lobby intentionally or unintentionally, Sen Sen's chill made Qin Bai shiver involuntarily.
Jun Qi now gives people the feeling that he may not speculate at any time, and immediately become a black-faced Yama who asks for his life.
…… This is also very scary.
Where has Qin Bai seen this formation? The more frightened I became, the more my thoughts stagnated, and the lies that I had made up casually in order to cover up were difficult to justify at all, and the more and more nervous I became, my brain began to think involuntarily:
At the beginning, I always unilaterally thought she was a little vixen, but she never admitted it herself! When I met her brother who was like a tall man outside the world, I should have asked about the origin of the person, and I haven't asked until now! Oh my God, what have I been doing these days? It seems that he didn't do anything other than to be angry with her? …… It's over.
Before, I thought that Jun Qi was the most kind and best to get along with, but now when he seriously put on a straight face and wanted to do business, that powerful aura was simply terrifying!
Qin Bai, who was already in chaos, didn't know how to deal with the current situation at all, but he knew one thing very well - he was not this person's opponent at all, so instead of struggling needlessly, it was better to simply keep silent! The more you talk, the more flaws there are, so it's better to just shut up and save yourself more from being caught by him.
The silence brought the interrogation to a complete deadlock.
"I just want to hear the truth."
When Jun Qi realized his intentions, he obviously slowed down his tone and said sincerely: "You are not a traitor who is used to talking nonsense, don't push things to the point that everyone doesn't want to see. You can't protect anyone, I will definitely find out the truth, and this confession is only related to your own fate at the moment. …… I ask again, who helped you? ”
Junyi's aggressive gaze makes people feel inescapable.
Qin Bai pondered for a long time, and finally opened his mouth, his voice was very small but very firm: "Anyone who has done anything wrong, no matter how you punish me, I will definitely admit it." I don't recognize what I haven't done. ”
“…… All right. ”
Jun Qi closed the file and confession in front of him, received it, and stood up: "I have said it, I have persuaded it, and I have persuaded it, and you can't listen to it, so it's better to come here first today." ”
Qin Bai suddenly thought of something, raised his eyes and asked, "This matter won't implicate her, right?" ”
"Who?"
Jun Yi went down the steps with the case file in his hand, and was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then reacted: "Snow River? …… You're thinking too much. ”
Jun Yi shook his head with a smile, and walked towards the door by himself, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw a silver-white figure appear in front of him:
"Hey, why are you here?"
Qin Bai followed the prestige, in addition to the official errand, there was also a teenage girl standing at the door, with a beautiful face, gorgeous clothes, silver hair and silver eyes are very special, it seems that she is probably a noble goddess.
The moment the two met their eyes, the pair of silver eyes that flowed with light actually looked at him fixedly, full of warmth and a hint of worry. Qin Bai was inexplicably shocked, hurriedly lowered his eyes, and lowered his head.
"I'm looking for him."
The little girl's immature voice was very pleasant, like the sound of silk and bamboo coming from a pool of autumn water.
"Don't make a fuss! I'm going to handle the case. Hey......"
She listened to persuasion, and as soon as she was short, she deftly dodged her brother's obstructive arm and went into the house, and walked straight towards him.
Jun Qi just wanted to call her, but hesitated for a moment and didn't shout - Qin Bai didn't know the Snow River deity in front of him, and he didn't know what her intentions were, if he dared to call her by her real name, it would only make the situation even more chaotic.
Jun Yi sighed in his heart, so he had to follow: Anyway, the case can't be judged like this, so she can simply let her go.
"Someone asked me to give this to you." Xue He came to him and stretched out his hand, and the palm of his hand was the jade exquisite.
Seeing this, Qin Bai's eyes immediately radiated brilliance. He reached out and took the object that still had the little girl's body temperature, and asked eagerly, "She asked you to come?" Did you see her? ”
Xue He nodded, looked at his face calmly, and said lightly, "She asked me to tell you that she doesn't want to see you again." ”
