The Fourth Prince stood up suddenly. "Ridiculous! There are no demons in this world. It's just a magic trick. Hurry and drag this scoundrel pretending to be a god away to prevent him from disrupting the court!"
The Fourth Prince really thought so. Judging from his own experience, he felt that Xiao Jue must have seen through his plan to let Cai Song take the blame, so he also came up with a scapegoat. However, he had already used the trick of using his enemy to take the blame, so Xiao Jue had to find another way and create the so-called painted monster.
Otherwise, if he knew that the person standing in front of him was really a monster, he would have been scared to death and would not have dared to shout.
After receiving the Fourth Prince's order, two yamen runners came forward and wanted to drag the painted monster away.
Obviously, they didn't think the person in front of them was a monster. They just thought it was a high-level magic trick that they couldn't see the flaw in, so they stretched out their hands towards the painted monster.
The next second, the painted demon raised his hand and waved, and the two people flew out.
Xiao Jue slammed the scroll hard and scolded, "Don't hurt anyone without permission!"
The scroll is the painting monster's body. When the scroll was hit hard, the painting monster also felt its body. To be more precise, its head was hit hard and it covered its head in pain.
Xue Huan stepped forward and said, "Actually, to find out who the murderer is, it's very simple. All we have to do is make the murderer produce those ten peeled faces."
The Fourth Prince's eyelids twitched, and he said in dissatisfaction, "Who are you? How can you have the right to speak in this court?"
Xiao Jue said in a deep voice, "Fourth brother, this is Divine Doctor Xue."
Everyone was shocked. What? This seemingly young and handsome man was the legendary Doctor Xue? The Doctor Xue who could bring the dead back to life?
Everyone is equal before life and death, so in front of a miracle doctor who can bring the dead back to life, secular power can no longer affect him. Not to mention the prince, even the emperor has to be polite in front of him.
The Fourth Prince's face suddenly turned ugly, and he felt resentful towards Xiao Jue in his heart. This Fifth Prince was really a thief. He actually revealed the identity of Doctor Xue only now, causing him to offend Doctor Xue.
If he had introduced the identity of Dr. Xue at the beginning, how could he have made such a low-level mistake?
However, he quickly managed his expression and walked forward with an expression of regret for not meeting each other earlier. "It turns out to be Divine Doctor Xue. I've heard a lot about you."
So enthusiastic as if what just happened had never happened.
Xue Huan nodded faintly, as if it was a response, and looked at Jingzhao Yin: "Master Sun, do you think what I said just now makes sense?"
Jingzhao Yin: "That makes sense, that makes sense, Cai Song. You said you were the murderer, but where is the skin you peeled off the faces of those dead people?"
Cai Song looked at the painted monster in fear. He knew that he was just a scapegoat. If the painted monster had not appeared, he would have just "confessed" according to the words he had practiced in advance. But now the real culprit was standing next to him, and the original words were obviously no longer useful. What should he do?
He looked at the Fourth Prince for help. The Fourth Prince was furious. What an idiot!
He slammed the fan in his hand hard against his palm, and Cai Song's body trembled suddenly, as if the blow was hitting himself.
He stammered, "I burned the skins."
Jingzhao Yin: "Burned? All of them? Not a single one left?"
This is not in line with the criminal's mentality.
According to Cai Song's account, he killed Zhou Hong and Zhou Hong's classmates out of anger, and later became addicted to killing. In this state of mind, shouldn't he have kept those skins and enjoyed them as his trophies?
Cai Song lowered his head: "They are all burned."
Jingzhao Yin turned to the Painting Demon and asked, "What about you?"
The painted demon raised his hand and spread out his wide sleeves. At first, everyone was confused, but when they looked again, they saw that his sleeves were densely packed with dozens of faces!
There are far more than ten people who were victims in this serial case!
The faces were lifelike and the expressions were peaceful. It was obvious that they were peeled off unconsciously. They were like beautiful specimens, which made people feel creepy and their scalps tingle.
Jingzhao Yin cried out in surprise: "How can there be so many!"
The painted demon laughed softly, and her laughter was lingering and pleasant, like a lover's whisper in the ear. However, in this scene, no one could feel the slightest romantic emotion.
Xue Huan glanced at him, and the Painted Demon immediately calmed down and replied, "Some were killed elsewhere, but I killed more than ten people in the capital, you just didn't notice."
Now, it is clear who the real murderer is.
Everyone realized belatedly that the real murderer in front of them might not be a human!
Jingzhao Yin looked at the painted demon in horror and took two steps back. "Fifth Prince, is he, is he really a demon?"
Xiao Jue: "Okay, come back."
The painting monster turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the painting, becoming the person in the painting again. Its eyes were bright and shimmering, and it even blinked at everyone.
Now, everyone is no longer uncertain.
"A monster!"
"Run! There's a man-eating monster!"
The onlookers outside the court rushed out in a swarm, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Because the serial skinning murder case was extremely popular, almost everyone in the capital knew about it. So when they learned that the murderer had been captured, they all rushed over, forming three layers inside and three layers outside, and the court was packed so tightly that no one could get through.
Now that the situation has become chaotic, a stampede has occurred.
Xue Huan used her spiritual power to speak: "Don't panic! The monster has been captured by the Fifth Prince and can't hurt anyone!"
Her voice echoed throughout the venue, ringing in everyone's ears, with a strange soothing power, and everyone stopped involuntarily.
Xue Huan looked at the Jingzhao Yin, who woke up in shock and hurriedly arranged for people to evacuate the crowd.
When they learned that the real culprit of the serial skinning murder case was a flower demon who had been captured by the fifth prince, Emperor Jinghuan and his court officials were shocked, surprised, and even frightened.
Afterwards, Xiao Jue was summoned into the palace, and naturally he brought the scroll that sealed the painting demon with him.
In front of Emperor Jinghuan and all the ministers, he summoned the painted demon.
After seeing the painted monster walk out of the painting, everyone's three views were shattered. However, the emperor at the top of the table looked relatively normal because he knew that monsters existed in this world.
"This monster is cruel and bloodthirsty, his crimes are extremely heinous. He must be dragged outside the Meridian Gate immediately and sentenced to death by slicing to appease the people."
The painted demon roared in anger and tried to break free, but unfortunately her body - the scroll - had already been engraved with a formation by Xue Huan, preventing her from even committing suicide.
The painted demon was tortured to death, and tens of thousands of people in the capital came to watch.
When the painted monster was cut for the first time and white blood flowed out, the onlookers were shocked at first, and then they thought it was normal.
Monsters are different from humans, so their blood is naturally not red.
