Chapter 72: The City Lord in a Dilemma
Is this guy a human or a ghost, and how did he use such sneaky methods? If anyone speaks rudely to him or even acts rudely, he may kill him on the spot. The problem is that even if he kills someone, no one can see any murderous actions on the surface, and no one can identify him as a murderer.
Killing people invisibly, such a guy is terrible, this case must not be tried again!
Thinking of this, Storm Stone hurriedly said: "In my opinion, this person should not be a murderer, you should put him in a prison and interrogate him calmly when I have time!" ”
After that, he bowed to the little man and left the stage.
Seeing this, the auxiliary officials and soap officials were still confused, but they had to obediently follow the instructions of the storm.
They vaguely felt that the little girl was not easy to mess with, it was very weird, and the storm stone was treated so coldly, at least it was good for them for the time being, as for the future, it could be delayed for a day, otherwise what could it be?
In the process of escorting Xiao Yinzi to the cell, the soap officials had to accompany Xiaoyinzi carefully, not only did they not shackle Xiaoyin, but chatted with Xiaoyin affectionately, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
Storm Stone sat upright on the chair in the hall, staring straight at the slogan on the wall that was as official as a furnace, and on the surface it looked quietly in a daze, but in fact his mind was constantly running. What he thought was that this guy who claimed to be a murderer might really be a murderer, or he might have deliberately come to the court on a whim to stir up trouble, but in either case, it was extremely difficult to deal with.
If this guy is really the murderer of Tong Guan, then because he has the strange method of killing people without seeing blood, he can't really put the official law around his neck and mercilessly judge him. In that case, the real murderer may not be able to die, but he is destined to die.
If you lose your life because of this strange murderer, then there will be nothing, let alone a splendid future, let alone glory and wealth.
If possible, try to clear this guy's name, not for him, but for himself.
It stands to reason that the killing of Tong Guan was a sensational event in the city, and now that the murderer has been caught, Storm Stone should report to the city lord in time. However, after thinking about it, Stormstone finally decided not to report it to the city lord first. Once he reports to the city lord, the city lord will inevitably urge him to try it as soon as possible, and then he will fall into passivity. And if he didn't report to the city lord, he would have the greatest discretion to dispose of it as he wanted, and he could even release the little silk silently.
He could see that Xiao Yanzi was not a fool. A person who is mentally normal and has strange killing methods, even if he really kills someone, it is impossible for him to voluntarily surrender, and it is the most reasonable choice to slip away, even if he does not run, others will not be able to accuse him of murder. But now, this guy is declaring that he is a murderer to the catchers, which is obviously unreasonable.
Therefore, Storm Stone judged that the biggest possibility was that Xiao Yanzi planned to deliberately come to the court to stir up trouble because of his young and stubborn youth, and by taking the opportunity to use those strange methods, let the officials know that he was not a good stubble, nothing more. In this case, there is no need for him to make a fuss and report to the city lord.
Alarming the city lord is generally not a trivial matter, and if he makes a big fuss and finally finds out that Xiao Yanzi is not a murderer, then the result will be an embarrassment for both parties.
There is also a key problem, Tong Million knows that the murderer has been caught, and he must put pressure on the city lord to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible. Although Xiao Yunzi was finally found to be not a murderer, Tong Million would not agree, but may think that the government indulged criminals for no reason. At that point, things get more and more complicated.
For the sake of today's plan, he can only turn big things into small things and small things, and not add unnecessary trouble to the city lord, especially himself.
As for whether Xiao Yanzi will cause trouble to the canons and forbidden children after being temporarily imprisoned in the cell, that is not his concern.
His principle has always been that he has no trouble, and any trouble from others has nothing to do with him.
After sitting quietly for a long time, he got up and returned to the back office, intending to rest and rest and sort out his thoughts by the way, but was disturbed by a subordinate who rushed in.
"You guy, are you deliberately not letting me live?"
Storm Stone snorted and stared at his subordinates, and said casually.
"Your Excellency!" The subordinates were full of grievances, and bowed their heads and responded, "The little one knows that you want to be quiet now, so I don't plan to come in and disturb it, but the people from the City Lord's Mansion can't wait for a moment, so they immediately force the little one to come and report, and the little one has to come hard." ”
"What, people from the City Lord's Mansion?" Stormstone jumped up from his seat suddenly, "What is he doing here?" Could it be that it is also for the murderer's business? ”
"According to the people from the city lord's mansion, the city wants you to go see him immediately, as for what it is, the little one didn't dare to ask in detail." The subordinate replied respectfully.
"Hmph, the city lord is in a hurry to summon me at this time, what else can it do!" Storm Stone said as he paced, "That damn Tong Million, for the sake of his son, secretly sent someone to keep an eye on the outside of the torture hall, and he can know anything about me here." I didn't report the murderer to the city lord, he went to report the news first, but he was annoyed, annoying! ”
The subordinate said cautiously: "My lord, since you are angry, the little one went back to the people of the City Lord's Mansion, saying that you are not in good health now and should not go out. ”
"Hmph, if you can delay the first day of junior high school, how can you delay it over fifteen?" Storm Stone said, "The city lord summons, how can I not go!" ”
After that, while scolding Tong Million angrily, he strode out of the door.
When he came to the city lord's mansion, he saw the city lord Siping, and the storm stone suppressed his anger vigorously, and after giving a salute, he said: "My lord, you are summoning your subordinates at this moment, what is the important matter?" ”
Siping waved his hand to signal Storm Stone to sit down, and then sat down himself, picked up the tea bowl and tasted the tea, and said: "Old Tyrant, I heard that you have caught the murderer of Tong Guan, is this true?" ”
"My lord's ears and eyes are smart, and my subordinates admire them tightly!" Storm Stone opened his mouth and responded, "However, there are still many strange things about this matter, because his subordinates did not rush to interrogate, but temporarily treated coldly. ”
"Oh?" Siping was stunned when he heard this, "You have always handled the case smoothly, there has never been any mistakes, and there have been no moths in the meantime, how can you say such things now?" ”
Storm Stone bowed his head and said, "My lord, it was before, and now it is now, the situation is completely different. The death of Tong Guan had been discussed by his subordinates with the adults before, and the adults had thought that there were some elusive problems in it. The subordinates thought that this was the biggest moth. Adults imagine that Tong Guan, as a rich son, was quietly killed in the wilderness at night, and the method of killing was even incomprehensible to the coroner. ”
Siping shook his head when he heard this: "Well, that's true, it's true!" ”
Storm Stone continued: "The cause of Tong Guan's death is unknown, and even his family can't tell clearly, but now a young man suddenly pops out and openly declares that he is the murderer of Tong Guan, do adults think this is normal?" ”
"Normal or not, don't you know if you interrogate and interrogate?" Siping said, "Young people are more timid, you just need to use the punishment, he may even be able to recruit the ugly thing of his wife stealing a man!" ”
"My lord, it's not that simple." Storm Stone said, "That young man who claimed to be a murderer seemed to have some paradoxical powers, and he injured two of my subordinates one after another without moving or shaking, making them unconscious, and they are still in a coma until now. I can't imagine what it would be like to be faced with such a person, if he were to be easily executed. ”
Next, Storm Stone revealed what he was thinking.
After hearing this, Siping was stunned for a while, and said: "According to me, your thoughts are not unreasonable. The problem is, Tong Million is very close to this matter, and as soon as he gets the news that the murderer has been arrested, he comes to put pressure on me, how can we act at our own pace? You must know that Tong Million is our food and clothing parents, and we still have to rely on him for many things, and we have to pay attention to everything he asks. ”
"Adult, paying attention to Tong Million's request doesn't mean that we will lose our lives!" "Besides, if the teenager who voluntarily surrendered is not the real murderer, what will happen at that time?" Killing a teenager in vain can't avenge Tong Million's murder, and Tong Million will still be dissatisfied. The more critical problem is that we can't kill that teenager in vain, and that teenager may easily kill us! ”
"Well, it's a real dilemma." Siping frowned and said, "I think so, I'll deal with Tong Million, you better come at your own pace." ”
