Seeing Chen Yan mention the dagger again, Jia Zhuang knew that he couldn't dwell on this issue any further. Otherwise, you might really end up in a ditch. I have worked so hard to plan for what I have now, I absolutely cannot let all my efforts go to waste! So he quickly told a lie to calm the dispute as soon as possible: "So that's what Brother Shen is talking about! Of course I know where the dagger is. A few days ago, I suddenly had a whim and took the dagger to play with it a few times. I forgot to put it back for a while, and it's still stored in my room now!"
Seeing that Jia Zhuang was still stubborn, Chen Yan wanted to stop being mysterious. He immediately stopped beating around the bush and said, "Since Brother Jia said the dagger is in his room now."
"Yes, it's indeed in my room." Jia Zhuang responded quickly, fearing that Shen Yan would continue to pester him.

But Shen Yan was obviously coming for the dagger! Obviously, Jia Zhuang was going to be disappointed. "Why don't you take it out now and let me see it? I also like this set of weapons very much, but it's missing a dagger and it always feels incomplete. I hope Brother Jia can help me!"
"No" indeed a fake exclamation interrupted Shen Yan from continuing to speak! "Why not?" Shen Yan still refused to give in.
"I haven't cleaned the dagger after using it. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to take it out and let you, Brother Shen, see it now. I'm afraid it will disturb Brother Shen's interest. I'd better take good care of it after some time, and then personally invite Brother Shen to come to my house to see it!" Jia Zhuang was still playing charades!
"Hmph! Jia Zhuang, you won't give up until you see the Yellow River, right? The dagger is not in your hand at all! The dagger in that set of weapons must have killed Mr. Jia!" Chen Yan had gradually lost his patience. He snorted coldly and confronted Jia Zhuang directly without beating around the bush!
"Don't slander me! How could I kill my own father with my own hands? What good will it do for me?" Jia Zhuang was exposed and immediately became angry and accused Shen Yan of slandering him!
"Killing Mr. Jia will indeed do you no good! But what if you killed Jia Qiang? If the person you originally wanted to kill was Jia Qiang, that would be another matter. You only killed Mr. Jia by mistake. The person you really wanted to kill was actually Jia Qiang! It's just that you killed Mr. Jia by coincidence. When you realized that you killed the wrong person, you panicked and left the dagger at the scene. Am I right or wrong?" Shen Yan narrated slowly at the beginning, but his words became more and more harsh in the end, and finally evolved into a loud rebuke!
"Is this the maid who cleaned up the armory for you? I have asked her to carefully identify it. The dagger you are missing is the one that killed Mr. Jia with a blow from his vest! Do you have anything else to say?" Shen Yan did not give Jia Zhuang a chance to continue to quibble. Just pull the maid who cleaned up Jia Zhuang’s armory to identify him!
Jia Zhuang's face turned pale, but he still refused to plead guilty! It even stated that the murderer Jia Qiang had been subdued and confessed his guilt! If Chen Yan continues to spread rumors and confuse people here, I will report him to the police and have him arrested!
As soon as Jia Zhuang finished speaking, he said, "No need! Sir Jia, there is no need to report to the authorities. I'm already here." The person who answered was the constable whom Lu Wan had not seen for a long time!
"You have arrived at the right time, Mr. Patrol. These two people broke into my house and caused trouble, spreading rumors and slandering good people. Mr. Patrol, please help me and punish these villains severely." Jia Zhuang said with tears in his eyes, not only confusing right and wrong. He also slandered Shen Yan and Lu Wan for trespassing into the Jia Mansion! It's really shameless.

"Whether it is slander or not, I will decide myself. Now I would like to ask Lord Jia to cooperate with me to do a small thing!" The policeman's words were cold, but he did not lose his manners and still called Jia Zhuang Lord Jia.
When Jia Zhuang heard the patrolman asking for his cooperation, he had a bad feeling! But he still answered politely: "I don't know what the inspector is doing. I'll prepare myself. I'll try my best to cooperate."
The policeman was not polite either: "Come here! Handcuff him and take him away!" Two people came out from behind the policeman and handcuffed Jia Zhuang with shackles. Jia Zhuang already knew that there was no point in saying anything more at this time. He stopped struggling and allowed the two men to handcuff him.
The patrolman saw Shen Yan standing aside and said, "Brother Jing is here too? This time, thanks to Brother Shen's guidance, we were able to solve the case so quickly. Thank you so much, Brother Shen." After saying that, he did not forget to bow as a thank you to Shen Yan!
"You are too polite, Mr. Patrolman. I have only contributed a little. Besides, anyone can kill such a person who kills his father and brother." Shen Yan quickly returned the greeting and said politely.
The patrolman stood up without being overly polite to Shen Yan. He just explained that the person who bumped into Mr. Jia has been found. Moreover, letters between Jia Zhuang and him were found on him. Now it is enough to convict Jia Zhuang, and Lu Wan is officially free again!
Seeing this, Jia Zhuang was helpless. The county magistrate asked loudly, "Suspect Jia Zhuang, do you plead guilty?" Jia Zhuang said, "I plead guilty." The county magistrate said, "Go back to the yamen for interrogation." A group of people took Jia Zhuang back to the county yamen.
The county magistrate put on his official uniform and sat high in the hall and said, "Open the court." The yamen runners shouted, "Mighty! Mighty!" They also knocked on the ground in an orderly manner with sticks. After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. The county magistrate picked up the hall board and slapped the table and said, "Bring the murderer Jia Zhuang to the court." The lawyer at the side shouted, "Bring the murderer Jia Zhuang to the court."
Jia Zhuang was forced by the yamen runners to the hall, where he knelt down with a plop. The county magistrate asked, "Does anyone who is kneeling down know who it is?"
The kneeling Jia Zhuang replied, "I am Jia Zhuang, a lowly commoner." The county magistrate asked, "What crime have you committed?" Jia Zhuang continued, "I am a lowly commoner who tried to take people's lives and money, but accidentally killed my father." The people who should have been asleep at this time heard that the Jia family had solved the case, so they got up and went to the yamen to report the case. They did not expect that the murderer of Mr. Jia was actually his youngest son. Because he was born in his later years, Mr. Jia took good care of Jia Zhuang and doted on him. They did not expect that he would kill his own father.
