The Return of the Demon

"Ning Chen, do you mean that Zhang Mingjie has an affair with Mr. Zhang's concubine?"

A silver-clad person asked.

"Nonsense, Mr. Zhang's family is very wealthy, and Zhang Mingjie is Mr. Zhang's only son. What kind of woman can't he get?"

"Having an affair with a young woman is not allowed by morality and etiquette... Zhang Mingjie is also a well-educated and reasonable person, how could he do such a morally corrupt thing?"

The silver-clad person who had been mocking Ning Chen before jumped out to refute.

These people are called Feng Qizheng, and they look down on Ning Chen from the bottom of their hearts.

Ning Chen glanced at him indifferently, and then said: "Whether they have an affair, won't we know if we can find out by checking?"

Gao Ziping thought for a while and said: "Ning Chen's speculation is not unreasonable. Now there is no clue, so it doesn't hurt to check."

Immediately, Gao Ziping ordered two silver-clad people to run.

Ning Chen said: "Gao Yinyi, let me go?"

The two silver-clad people who were named looked at Ning Chen with dissatisfaction.

Ning Chen noticed their eyes and felt puzzled.

What he didn't know was that there was a subsidy for field work... and, by saying this, he meant to steal the credit.

"Ning Chen, you just came and are not familiar with the situation yet, so don't go this time!"

Gao Ziping said.

Ning Chen nodded, looked at the two silver-clad men, and said with a fist: "Please, both of you, record the confessions of Zhang Mingjie and the concubine word for word."

The two silver-clad men snorted coldly and turned away.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Ning Chen went to flip through the files out of boredom.

An hour later, the two silver-clad men came back.

Gao Ziping asked: "Did you gain anything?"

The two silver-clad men shook their heads.

"Gao Yinyi, it's useless to ask like this. We don't have any evidence, and it's all based on speculation...Zhang Mingjie and Mr. Zhang's concubine are heartbroken, and we can't ask too much."

Gao Ziping was a little disappointed.

Ning Chen put down the files and walked over, saying: "You two, can you show me their confessions?"

The two men had no expression on their faces, as if they didn't hear what Ning Chen said.

Ning Chen touched his nose and said, "You two, you really don't have to be like this... I know you think I'm here to gild myself, but I'm really not... I hate my identity, but some things are not my choice."

"As colleagues, it is my responsibility to investigate the case. I just want to help you get the case clear... You really don't have to look like I'm irresponsible for getting your daughter pregnant."

The two silver-clad men were furious.

"Ning Chen, you..."

Gao Ziping waved his hand and frowned, "Okay... Ning Chen is right. We are all colleagues. We are all here to solve the case. Give him the confession."

One of the silver-clad men reluctantly threw the confession to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen took the confession, shook his head helplessly, and then walked aside to read the confession.

When he finished reading the confession, Ning Chen showed a confident smile on his face.

He raised the confession in his hand and said decisively, "The murderer is these two."

Everyone looked at him in astonishment.

Feng Qi sneered and said disdainfully: "Why are you so sure? This is a matter of life and death, not something you gentlemen can do."

Ning Chen handed the confession to Gao Ziping and said: "Gao Yinyi, take a good look at these two confessions, the answer is hidden in them."

Gao Ziping read it himself, and others also came over to read it.

But when they finished reading, they all looked confused.

Gao Ziping said: "Ning Chen, there is nothing wrong with this confession."

Ning Chen said: "There is a problem."

"What's the problem? Come on, don't keep us in suspense."

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Just now, the two brothers said that they were heartbroken by Mr. Zhang's death."

"Yes, is there any problem?"

Ning Chen said: "Of course there is a problem. When people are frightened or extremely sad, their speech will be confused, which is what people often say is incoherent."

"But look at the confessions of these two people, they are clear and organized, almost like they were printed out from the same template."

Gao Ziping and others were stunned, and then immediately compared the two confessions.

After comparing, they found that the two confessions, except for the different characters, the narrative style is almost the same.

This shows that they had reviewed the confessions and made preparations in advance.

Gao Ziping waved his hand and said, "Catch him."

Ning Chen hurriedly said, "Gao Yinyi, wait a minute."

Gao Ziping looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "I suggest interrogating the maidservant next to Zhang Yuanwai's concubine first. After all, adultery can be concealed from others, but not from the maidservant... When having an affair, there must be someone on guard, right? This person must be the person you are closest to and trust the most."

Gao Ziping and others looked at Ning Chen with a different look of admiration.

At such an age, he is so calm and quick-witted...Just listening to them discuss the case, he can find clues, which is really amazing.

Gao Ziping nodded at Ning Chen, and then left with his men.

When Ning Chen reacted, he found that he was the only one left.

He smiled bitterly, it seems that if he wants them to accept him, he still has to work hard.

Ning Chen stayed until it was almost time to get off work, but Gao Ziping and others did not come back.

Off duty is getting off work, just a different name.

In fact, Gao Ziping and others have already captured the person and are interrogating him in the prison.

When the time comes, Ning Chen will leave.

We have come to this world, and we must resolutely resist overtime.

Ning Chen rides a big black horse, no, now called Diao Chan, and walks towards the Ning Mansion.

The pedestrians on the road looked sideways, with fear and disgust in their eyes.

Ning Chen knew very well that what they feared and hated was not him, but the clothes on his body.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way..."

"Stop..."

"Don't run..."

Suddenly, the street was in chaos.

Ning Chen looked back and saw two ragged boys, with panic on their faces, running forward desperately.

Behind them, a group of people were chasing.

Judging from their clothes, they should be the yamen runners of the Kyoto government... It seems that they are chasing fugitives.

Ning Chen immediately drew his sword and stood in the middle of the road.

He pointed the sharp long sword at the two boys who were running over and said sternly: "Stop, if you dare to run again... you will be killed without mercy!"

The two boys stopped and looked at Ning Chen with fear on their faces, their faces pale.

The yamen runners who rushed up from behind rushed up and controlled the two boys.

A tall yamen runner stepped forward and saluted: "We are from the Kyoto Yamen. Thank you for your help, sir."

Ning Chen nodded and prepared to leave, but he noticed the eyes of the two teenagers, fear, unwillingness, anger... their eyes were very complicated.

Ning Chen reined in his horse and asked casually: "What crime did they commit?"

The tall yamen runner hurriedly said: "Theft... We have rounded up several times and they have escaped. This time, thanks to your help."

"We didn't steal, we came to sue the officials... Sir, we really didn't steal, we are wronged."

One of the teenagers shouted.

The tall yamen runner said in a deep voice: "You are dead, shut their mouths."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and said sternly: "Stop!"

The tall yamen runner's face changed slightly, and he leaned over and said: "Sir, these two people are treacherous and cunning, and they don't tell the truth... Let me take them back and give them a beating and they will be honest."
