Chapter 535

Sending a specialist who doesn't take sides?

Lingxu City's attitude, is it impartial? "In my Between Beijia, the status of the Star-Plucking Tower attendants and lamp-guarding envoys is very high, let alone the Douyun Envoy." Fu Fu Shanyue said quickly, "This Lord Bai often walks in various places with the will of the gods. When you see him in a moment, don't be negligent!"

These four words could come out of the mouth of the lawless Fu Fu Shanyue, and He He Lingchuan knew the person coming wasn't simple.

Isn't this a religious official serving the Heavenly God? Fu Fu Shanyue stood up and went out to greet them personally.

There were already two people in the inn's main hall, one of whom was actually Fan Sheng.

Fu Fu Shanyue walked over and smiled: "Lord Bai, long time no see!" Then he nodded to Fan Sheng, "Commander Fan."

The other visitor, not to mention being handsome, this appearance was not only mediocre but even a bit wretched, standing beside Fan Sheng was like clouds and mud.

But He He Lingchuan didn't dare to underestimate him even more.

On one hand, the usually arrogant Fu Fu Shanyue's attitude toward this Bai Bai Ziqi had changed greatly; on the other hand, the Douyun Envoy's primary duty was to serve the Heavenly God, and with Between Beijia's system of respecting gods, selecting attendants, not to mention being handsome, at least required a decent appearance to show respect for the Heavenly God.

Bai Bai Ziqi had this appearance, yet could still become the Douyun Deputy Envoy, so he must have extraordinary skills.

Besides Fan Sheng, this arrogant second-in-command of the Tongxin Guard was standing behind Bai Bai Ziqi at this moment.

Bai Bai Ziqi saw Fu Fu Shanyue and also smiled: "Your Highness! Haha, the last time we met you were still the eldest son, now you are already Your Highness, congratulations, congratulations!"

When he smiled, there was a strange infectious power, making people feel he wasn't that annoying.

These two had met before, exchanged pleasantries, and invited each other to sit down.

Fan Sheng and He He Lingchuan also sat down separately.

Bai Bai Ziqi didn't use official jargon and directly explained his purpose: "I was originally in the Twilight Plains, but the Emperor sent an urgent eagle order, and I was driven here to handle the business."

"Twilight Plains?" Fu Fu Shanyue was stunned. "No wonder it's so fast. I originally thought that if the capital sent an envoy, it would take at least half a month."

The Twilight Plains were in the south of Chi Yan, some distance from here, but it was always faster than departing from Lingxu City.

"Usually it would be." Bai Bai Ziqi sighed, "It just so happened I was outside; the Emperor probably didn't want to see the old men pulling and arguing in front of him, so he pointed at me from afar, and I hurried here."

"Was Lord Bai on official business in the Twilight Plains?" Fu Fu Shanyue didn't believe he was just lingering in the Twilight Plains. A few steps north and he would enter the Chi Yan territory! A specialist from Lingxu City, why did he sneak into the Chi Yan territory without a sound?

"That goes without saying, do you think I like to wander around for no reason?" Bai Bai Ziqi laughed, then pulled the topic back. "The youngest of the Lord Zhongsun family, is he still missing?"

"The monster that swallowed him hasn't shown its head since." Fu Fu Shanyue said with a heavy expression, "Not optimistic."

He turned his head and pointed at He He Lingchuan: "The Emperor designated the Bai Jiandiao messenger disappearance case to be investigated by Chi Yan, and my father didn't dare to be negligent. This is the investigation special envoy I personally appointed, who followed the clues from Zhitian Township, not expecting to catch this big fish."

Big fish, of course, referred to Cen Poqing.

He was sitting beside He He Lingchuan, and Bai Bai Ziqi had already sized him up several times. At this moment, he gave a long "Oh": "I heard, you are from the Fu Kingdom?"

He He Lingchuan met his gaze: "Exactly."

"Tell me the whole case from beginning to end, as detailed as possible."

Although he had read the case report submitted by Fu Fu Shanyue, the content there certainly wasn't as detailed as what the investigator told.

He He Lingchuan told the whole story from beginning to end, striving for precision and not adding oil or vinegar.

Of course, Mai Xuewen coming to the door privately was not mentioned. After Lord Zhongsun Mou was murdered, He He Lingchuan and Fu Fu Shanyue had compared notes more than once and decided to hide this "small matter" to avoid misunderstanding by the Lingxu City specialist.

He hadn't been handling this case for long, only about a month, but the content was complex and tortuous, and it took half an hour to describe it basically.

During this period, the pulp pearls, portraits, Mai Xuewen's secret codes, and the "Record of Respecting Gods" used for solving puzzles were all taken out.

Fan Sheng was quiet the whole time, not saying a word.

Bai Bai Ziqi listened very carefully, occasionally asking questions, and He He Lingchuan answered everything he knew.

He had long decided that facing the Lingxu City specialist, what he had to do was "sincerity."

Restore the truth of the event, try to lay the whole process out in the sunlight, so that even if people held a magnifying glass, they couldn't find fault, then He He Lingchuan himself would be safe.

After the case was recounted, Bai Bai Ziqi said "Good, good, good" three times, then said: "Listening to this, the Special Envoy's handling of the case is considered appropriate. That is to say, the current difficulty lies with Wu Kai. Is his identification the key to Cen Poqing's conviction?"

"Exactly."

"If he doesn't plead guilty, then neither he nor Cen Poqing will be guilty." Bai Bai Ziqi shook his head. "Isn't the case stuck here? Do you have any countermeasures?"

"Wu Kai's subordinate Yang Song has already confessed and identified him." Fu Fu Shanyue took over the conversation. "But there is no physical evidence, and Wu Kai is very cautious. If there is a good strategy, please give us some advice, Lord Bai."

"I have just arrived, I still need to listen and watch more." Bai Bai Ziqi was very humble. "In addition, the Crown Prince thinks Cen Poqing colluded with Lord Zhongsun Mou to make false testimony for the messenger case to cover up the truth? This is a very serious accusation."

Lord Zhongsun family, Cen family, Grand Minister of Agriculture—Chi Yan Kingdom had offended three powerful families in Lingxu City in one breath.

"The fugitive Fu Fu Songhua, who was pointed out as the murderer by them, and Pang Denian, who was responsible for bribing the jailer and colluding in the prison under Wu Kai, are all in custody, and they also wrote confessions."

"Where is Fu Fu Songhua's confession?"

Fu Fu Shanyue had long prepared it and called for someone to offer it up.

Bai Bai Ziqi spread it out and read it very carefully, page by page.

He He Lingchuan noticed that he was reading word by word, especially the last few pages, almost waiting a long time before turning the page, and his expression became more and more solemn.

Why did the time spent reading the last few pages exceed the sum of the previous ones?

He He Lingchuan's heart moved slightly, and he remembered one thing.

Cen Poqing had planned ahead and prepared false confessions. Once the matter was exposed, he would pin the blame on the fugitive Fu Fu Songhua.

But there was one point Cen Poqing couldn't avoid, which was to explain clearly in the false confession: why would the "mastermind" Fu Fu Songhua know the departure time and route of the Bai Jiandiao messenger? Otherwise, how could he sit on the charge of being a spy?

Therefore, Fu Fu Songhua "must" have an inside contact in Lingxu City.

The confession indeed contained such a name.

But because the Bai Jiandiao messenger disappearance was an accidental event, even Cen Poqing himself couldn't predict it.

It was very difficult for him to add new content to the prepared false confession and disguise the accident as intentional without revealing flaws.

Therefore, the name of this "inside contact" was very critical.

Only if Lingxu City investigated and found something would they believe this false confession.

After reading, Bai Bai Ziqi pondered for a long time before saying: "This case has the biggest suspicious point, which is that Mai Xuewen's behavior doesn't make sense."

"Oh?" He He Lingchuan and Fu Fu Shanyue were both full of question marks.

"He doesn't live in Baishajuan at all, didn't even buy a house here, and comes at most twice a year, so why are his food, clothing, and housing all linked to Baishajuan? As if he's afraid others won't know."

He He Lingchuan's expression didn't change, but he felt a chill in his heart. These clues were all buried in the complex case, one end here, one line there. The content submitted by Fu Fu Shanyue was also just a simple list, yet Bai Bai Ziqi could find anomalies from it.

He He Lingchuan felt it was strange at the beginning because he was handling the case personally, and he was on the spot, so he could see and feel it.

Yet Bai Bai Ziqi could find suspicious points through simple and cold case files.

Truly worthy of being the specialist entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Demon Emperor.

"Maybe he just likes this style?" Fu Fu Shanyue shrugged. "Just like Chi Yan also produces chewing tobacco, but I only like the Treasure Tree Kingdom's."

"Even if I don't say it, in the future, the Cen family and Lord Zhongsun family will use these suspicious points to attack the Crown Prince." Bai Bai Ziqi reminded him tactfully, then added, "By the way, where is the suspect surnamed Wu detained? I want to see him."

"Right here with me." Fu Fu Shanyue looked at He He Lingchuan. "Fu Fu Songhua was previously locked in the county jail, but the jailer was bought by the Cen Mansion, so it's no longer safe there."

He He Lingchuan suddenly stood up and rushed out of the main hall in one stride.

He moved very fast, and with a "whoosh," the person disappeared.

Bai Bai Ziqi frowned slightly: "This is?"

What happened outside?

Fu Fu Shanyue opened his mouth at the same time: "It's evening, why don't you have a meal here, Lord Bai? I have a few of the best chefs in Baishajuan. Baishajuan is rich in products, things swimming in the water, things flying in the sky, it's delicious when braised together, and it's not easy to eat such fresh things in Lingxu City."

"I appreciate the Crown Prince's kindness." Bai Bai Ziqi looked at the sky. "I still have to go to the Cen Mansion later."

Fu Fu Shanyue said "Oh": "Lord Bai still wants to go to the Cen Mansion?"

"I have to listen to both sides." Bai Bai Ziqi smiled mysteriously. "The case is not easy to handle, the Emperor attaches great importance to it."

He couldn't just listen to the Crown Prince's words; the statement from Cen Poqing's side was also one of the key points entrusted by the Emperor.

"If it's found that Cen Poqing is truly the mastermind, what does Lord Bai plan to do?"

"Investigate and deal with it according to the law." Bai Bai Ziqi said meaningfully, "I said it, the Emperor attaches great importance to it."

"What if there is someone behind Cen Poqing?" This was the point the Chi Yan Sovereign and his son cared about most.

Bai Bai Ziqi smiled: "One step at a time, why is the Crown Prince in such a hurry?"

Fu Fu Shanyue sighed: "Before I came over, my father specifically exhorted me. This case must be investigated to the bottom, and the true mastermind must be caught to give the victimized demon citizens of Chi Yan a satisfactory explanation!"

Simply put, the attitude of the Chi Yan Sovereign was eight words: investigate to the end, never give up.

Fu Fu Shanyue was about to speak when the fierce tiger Jiao Yu rushed in from outside, moving so fast that he left a residual image, and there was no nonsense in his mouth: "The suspect vomited blood!"
