Li Chu had never experienced such torment.
Should I tell the truth?!
"Sir, actually..." Li Chu hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Actually, this person is not..."
"It was me! I killed him! I burned the bloody shirt, but the plum blossom dart is still hidden under the blossom tree at the Dingyuan Escort Agency, along with the mask. I was wearing a tiger mask with my hands underneath! I hate it so much! It was beggars who kidnapped my son, leaving him so weak that he can't even lift a knife. The doctor said he wouldn't live long. I only have this one son, and I want him to be without any descendants. So I couldn't hold back and attacked those beggars!"
When Xiao Cunyu heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Lord Zong immediately sent people to search.
There were almost no clues in the case back then. I don’t know how Xiao Cunyu dug out this person and actually admitted to it!
The people from the yamen rode their horses at full speed to search, and all the interrogations were stopped here.
"Xiao Qi! This is not right. We should arrest the real murderer!" Li Chu was very anxious.
"You have evidence?" Xiao Cunyu laughed sarcastically. "Father Pan is willing to take the blame, why are you trying to stop him? His confession and the murder weapon are enough to close the case. As for Pan Mingtai, look at his skinny appearance and cold-hearted nature. If he keeps silent, the authorities won't be able to do anything to him. Do you think you're going to torture him to extract a confession? Even if you wanted to, you'd have to see if his body can withstand it."
"What should we do? Just let him go?" Li Chu was very depressed.
"Just wait and see." Xiao Cunyu's smile made people feel at ease.
Li Chu sighed, there was nothing else he could do.
Because the person was brought by Xiao Cunyu, Lord Zong specially went through the back door. It was almost dark, and he waited until all the evidence arrived before continuing the trial.
Those plum blossom darts were already rusty, but they did match the diagram of the murder weapon drawn by the government at that time.
Mr. Pan confessed his guilt without any excuses, and Lord Zong then sent him to death row. For a crime like this, he would definitely be sentenced to death.
"Young Master!" Father Pan stared at Xiao Cunyu before leaving, "Don't forget what you said!"
"Of course." Xiao Cunyu laughed.
After a whole afternoon of rest, Pan Mingtai had almost recovered, but he still felt a severe headache. Seeing his father confessing his crime, Pan Mingtai did not feel a trace of guilt or panic. He just knocked his head, as if he did not see anything.
Xiao Cunyu walked past him and gave him a meaningful look.
When Pan Mingtai looked at Xiao Cunyu, he felt a chill in his heart, making him very uncomfortable.
But this young man smiled innocently and peacefully, and looked very beautiful, but he was... a little scared.
After Xiao Cunyu left the house, he stretched and said, "This young master is going back to kneel in the ancestral hall. Do you want to join me?"
Li Chu was in a bad mood. He shook his head and said, "I should go back to the academy."
"From now on you will be my little brother, right?" Xiao Cunyu asked.
"But you...but the murderer has not been caught at all, he is still fine!" Li Chu was very depressed, but it was undeniable that Xiao Cunyu did find the murderer, but did not punish him.
"Do you think he's fine? Then you might as well observe him for a few more days." After Xiao Cunyu finished speaking, he smiled mysteriously, and then left in a leisurely manner. He looked like a real master. For a moment, Li Chu felt that he had misunderstood Xiao Cunyu before!
He looked in the direction of Li Chu doubtfully, and after thinking for a while, he decided that a few more days wouldn't be a problem.
