In the live broadcast room
[Fuck, awesome, God Xin is amazing. I never expected the culprit to be the crown prince; he would be considered a minor in modern times, right?]
[Hey, I wonder how they will judge in this copy.]
[The bodies dug up in the bamboo forest have turned into skeletons, so they’ve been dead for at least five or six years, right? In other words, the crown prince has been killing people since five or six years ago? Damn, what kind of demon is he? So scary.]
[He’s a demon, and his mother is no good either. How capable could he have been five or six years ago? It must be that after he killed someone, his mother indulged him, helping him dispose of the bodies. This explains why the princess knows the burial locations.]
[Makes sense!]
[So, the princess is not entirely innocent either.]
[Fortunately, God Xin’s observational skills are meticulous. As they say, the law is broad but strict, there’s no perfect crime in the world. Indeed, after doing many wrongs, evidence is inevitably left behind. Although it’s quite coincidental, that fingerprint is the most stringent proof.]
[Maybe Miss Xiao Cui is watching from the heavens.]
———————————–
Bai Lixin: “Do you have anything else to say, Crown Prince?”
The Crown Prince was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, usually surrounded by people flattering him. He’d never encountered someone like Bai Lixin and Zhang Biao, leaving him in a daze.
When a person is dazed, sometimes words slip out without passing through the brain.
“It’s impossible. The night I killed her, I carefully wrapped the pipa in cloth. How could there be fingerprints? It’s impossible, absolutely impossible.”
Surprise flashed across Zhang Biao and Ping Er’s faces.
After the Crown Prince finished speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth.
He widened his eyes, unable to believe what he had just uttered.
With a slight smile, Bai Lixin bowed toward the partition in the study. “Sir, you have heard it, right?”
In a daze, the Crown Prince turned to look in the direction Bai Lixin was facing, only to see a man in a bright red court robe slowly walking out from behind a screen.
He had regular features, a serious expression, and was holding a sword.
Behind the imperial envoy, there were four constables, two men and two women, dressed as constables, although different from Zhang Biao’s.
At the moment these two men and two women appeared, Zhang Biao’s eyes widened.
‘Liu Shanmen, it was the clothing of Liu Shanmen!’
*Liu Shanmen is like a special police force.This was the place he dreamt of going, the destination all constables aspired to. The ultimate dream for constables.
Previously, he only heard stories about Liu Shanmen from books and storytellers. Today, he finally saw the living embodiment of it!
The Crown Prince looked at the sword and suddenly became paled, his already pale face turning even whiter.
The Imperial Sword, it was the Imperial Sword.
Was this an imperial envoy?!
“You said you submitted the memorial to the capital only yesterday! How can the imperial envoy arrive so quickly? It must be another one of your disguises!”
The Crown Prince was somewhat bewildered, shouting hysterically.
“Outrageous!” The imperial envoy frowned. “I am here by order to investigate the case in Qingcheng Town. How dare you question me? Do you recognize this document?!”
As he spoke, the imperial envoy took out a square golden decree from his sleeve.
How could the Crown Prince not recognize the decree? But it was precisely because he recognized it that he felt even more stupefied.
He sat in a daze on the chair, looking at Bai Lixin in confusion. “How could this happen?”
The imperial envoy: “Let me explain. I received an edict from His Majesty and hurried to Qingcheng Town. Originally, it would take me three days and nights to arrive by the two roads, but I encountered an eminent monk on the way.”
“The monk said he could give me a lift, and in the blink of an eye, I arrived here.”
After saying this, the imperial envoy gave Bai Lixin a meaningful glance. “It seems that the prompt delivery of the memorial to His Majesty is also related to this master, right?”
Bai Lixin smiled, “As long as you’re here, that’s good. County Magistrate Lin can no longer handle this case. With the princess still taking the blame in the prison, I was concerned that without catching the perpetrator red-handed, the Crown Prince wouldn’t admit it.”
“The Crown Prince was quite cooperative. step by step. He followed our guess step by step, and finally admitted the crime. Now, with the evidence in hand, I believe the Crown Prince has nothing more to say, right?”
Zhang Biao’s eyes went wide. “Sir, what is this about? What about County Magistrate Lin…”
“County Magistrate Lin doesn’t want to handle this case. As long as he doesn’t want to, the case won’t be resolved. You’ve been in the yamen for so long, you should understand this principle better than I do.”
Zhang Biao lowered his head in shame.
Bai Lixin was right. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. High and mighty officials like County Magistrate Lin could hastily close cases.
In Qingcheng Town, he was the unchallenged local authority. If he didn’t act, they, the ones doing the dirty work, could only bear with it, no matter how hard it was.
Although reluctant to admit it, this was the cruel reality.
So Master Bai Lixin saw this point and brought the imperial envoy over? Was it that he understood the ways of the officialdom after just a few days in the yamen? He is smooth when handling matters at times, and resolute in asserting his arguments at other times. Truly extraordinary.
In all his years of living, Zhang Biao had never encountered someone so seemingly mad yet smart.
But what did he say when he submitted the memorial?
In what capacity did he present it? At best, he was just a junior scribe. How many ranks did he skip to do that? How did he manage to slip the document in?
S419M: [Only the lord host can do this. Others can’t. Can an ordinary person infiltrate the palace and secretly slip the memorial into a pile of documents? That takes extraordinary courage!]
Escape System: [After all, he only has to spend ten days in this copy. He does whatever he wants for ten days and then leaves, leaving behind a group of people who both love and hate him. Tsk tsk, Master Bai Lixin is quite charming. This lenient attitude everywhere, no wonder the Lord God is angry.]
S419: [It’s because the Lord God spoils him! Who else would agree to such actions?!]
Escape System: [But, it’s so enviable. Regardless of Master Bai Lixin’s unreasonable requests, the Lord God is willing to help him. Brother M, were you accusing the Lord God just now? Do you disagree with this approach? So, you wouldn’t do this for me? Oh, I suddenly feel so sad. Why can’t I encounter a man who is fearless for me? Wuuu! S419m! I hate you!]
S419: [??????]
‘What did I say? How did I hit myself? I’m innocent!’
[If I was to stay in this copy longer,] Bai Lixin’s voice came, [I would have risen to the rank of Prime Minister and dealt with County Magistrate Lin. But now, I’m only here for ten days, so I’ll leave it to the locals. I won’t interfere randomly.]
S419M: [? ? ? ]
‘Wait, haven’t you interfered enough?
You’ve already sent the princess and the Crown Prince in. Isn’t that interference?
Next, were you really going to send Magistrate Lin in?’
At this moment, S419M really wanted to complain, but he didn’t dare to complain anymore. He was afraid Sister System will break up with him.
In short, trembling.jpg.
“Crown Prince,” the imperial envoy looked at the pale youth, sighing lightly, “Do you want to discuss this here, or would you prefer to bring it to the court?”
The Crown Prince was still struggling. “I want to see my father. I’m his only son, he will definitely save me. He will definitely save me!”
“It’s useless. Even if the prince comes, it’s useless. I am here with His Majesty’s personal edict.” The imperial envoy was entirely different from County Magistrate Lin, and was not swayed by royal influence. “Let’s do this step by step.”
“Let’s start with the incident of Concubine Shu’s child falling into the water. Although the princess admits to pushing Concubine Shu’s child into the water, witnesses claim that when the child fell into the water, the princess was doing something in her room and couldn’t possibly be pushing someone. But at that time, you happened to be in the garden, Crown Prince.”
The Imperial envoy rubbed his temples. “Don’t ask why people still remember such a thing from long time ago. Deeply remembered events are not easy to forget. Forgetting is only because the higher-ups intended to turn a blind eye. Now that your case has alarmed the emperor, everything will be brought to light.”
He paused, and looked at Bai Lixin. ”Your name is Bai Lixin, right? I’m now taking over of the case in the prince’s mansion. I will temporarily use this room during this period.”
“Please leave first.”
Bai Lixin didn’t hesitate and walked out directly.
Seeing this, Zhang Biao and Ping Er followed suit.
In the courtyard, tears welled up in Ping Er’s eyes. “This is good. Miss can rest in peace now.”
“Sir, Constable Zhang,” Píng Er respectfully bowed to the two, “we women are of lowly status and our lives are as fragile as paper. I’ve endured these past two years, thinking Miss’s death was going to go unjustified. Thanks to your presence, I feel like we’re living as humans, with someone willing to fight for us.”
“Thank you.”
Zhang Biao disliked such scenes of gratitude and he quickly waved his hand. “Alright, alright. It’s what we should do. Go back quickly.”
Ping Er thanked the two cautiously before turning away.
Once Ping Er’s figure disappeared around the corner, Zhang Biao looked at Bai Lixin. He abandoned the coldness he showed Píng Er and said excitedly, “Sir, please tell me. How did you figure out it was the Crown Prince? It’s too bizarre! Also, who is the highly respected monk the imperial envoy mentioned earlier? Is he your friend?”
Bai Lixin: “I first got clues about the murderer from Píng Er. The direction pointed toward the Prince’s mansion, but the specific identity was unknown. Regardless, anyone associated with the Prince’s mansion would face interference from County Magistrate Lín. So, from that moment, I contemplated seeking external help.”
Normally, he couldn’t leave Qingcheng Town’s jurisdiction.
But just because he couldn’t leave didn’t mean others couldn’t.
Isn’t it only natural to let your husband do things for you?
Zhang Biao was stunned. “So, you didn’t know the murderer was the Crown Prince?”
Wasn’t this move too risky?
Is this what they mean by “fortune favors the bold”?
“Later, I found two vodoo dolls in Concubine Shu’s room, one male, one female. It was easy to see that the female one was the princess, but the male couldn’t be identified. Initially, I thought it was the Prince, but when I saw that the fabric on the male doll matched exactly with what the Crown Prince used to wear, I began to wonder if the person who pushed the child into the water might be the Crown Prince. However, the Crown Prince at that time should have been around ten years old, so I hesitated.”
Zhang Biao: “Then, how did you confirm it, considering the Crown Prince’s height?”
Bai Lixin: “Through the Princess’s actions when she shouldered all the blame. The Crown Prince’s reaction was strange. When the Princess confessed to all charges, the Crown Prince’s responses were peculiar. That night, when I interrogated the Princess about the case details, much of what she said was unclear and even contradicted the information provided by the clues. If she were truly the murderer, she should have resolved the case as quickly as possible. Delaying it would only subject the Prince’s mansion and the Crown Prince to more criticism.”
“It wasn’t that she was unwilling to speak, she just couldn’t because she didn’t commit the murder. She was merely cleaning up the aftermath.”
“Consider this, what kind of person could push the princess to sacrifice herself to such an extent? The Prince? She probably wishes he’d die soon, allowing her child to inherit the title. So, the only remaining answer is the Crown Prince, who also aligned with our previous description of the murderer’s body.”
Zhang Biao exclaimed, “No wonder you were so enthusiastic about the Crown Prince yesterday. Turns out, it was a case of the weasel wishing the rooster a Happy New Year. You had ulterior motives, huh?”
“?” Bai Lixin glanced at Zhang Biao. “Is that how the idiom is used?”
* “No wonder you were so enthusiastic about the Crown Prince yesterday”—Zhang Biao meant the way Bai Lixin kept talking about his “teacher-student relationship with the crown prince and asking about sending his mother a message.“The weasel wishing the rooster a Happy New Year” is an idiom to caution one on suspicious people bearing gifts, because they probably have malicious intentions.Zhang Biao chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head. “I’m not well-educated. Hahaha.”
“But the clothing of the Liu Shanmen is really cool,” Zhang Biao glanced at the forbidden study enviously, “it would be great if I could wear Liu Shanmen’ clothing someday.”
“You’re still young,” Bai Lixin laughed, “you have a bright future. Who knows, maybe one day, you really can.”
Zhang Biao smiled bitterly, “No, I’ll probably stay in Qingcheng Town. I can’t even unravel the cases here, let alone go to the Liu Shanmen. And what difference does it make if I go somewhere else? The capital has Liu Shanmen, even if there’s one more like me, it won’t matter. But here, I’m the only one. If I leave, there might not be anyone who understands them better than I do.”
“My mother used to say I was useless, just a small constable in a small town. But now I understand. What’s wrong with being a small constable? A small constable is also a guardian protecting the region.”
“People in the capital need protection, and so do the people here. Moreover, these people need me more. So, I’ll stay here.”
“Master Bai Lixin, what about you? I heard you plan to go to the capital for the imperial examination and serve the court.”
Zhang Biao smiled at Bai Lixin. “If it’s you, Master, you can definitely do it.”
Bai Lixin just smiled and didn’t say much.
He wouldn’t pursue fame and an official position. As Zhang Biao said, he would stay wherever he is needed.
Now, the players in the horror game and his old gong needed him.
He had to complete the tasks quickly and return to the game lobby.
