Chapter 603: Suggest not to report

~8 min read 1,447 words

The ten prisoners deposited by the Imperial Prison in the Heavenly Prison are all village men.

The one Tang Jiu pointed out, at a glance, is a farmer who faces the loess and backs to the sky, digging for food in the fields all day long. The registered age is thirty-five, looks fifty, with a face full of gullies, a body worn out by year-round labor, and skin tanned black by the sun.

No matter who comes, they can't see any abnormality in this person.

Chen Guanlou knocked on Tang Jiu's cell door and asked in a low voice, "How do you determine that the other party is the same kind of person as you?"

"I smelled the smell of the same kind." Tang Jiu was firm.

"Specifically which kind?"

"Serial murder!" Tang Jiu was very firm.

Chen Guanlou:...

"Then look at me, what can you see?"

Tang Jiu looked at Chen Guanlou and shook his head slowly, "Master, don't tease me, I can't see anything. The Master's cultivation is too high, not something a vulgar person like me can see through."

Chen Guanlou laughed, "The person you pointed out, this official has checked again and again, he is just an ordinary village man, knows a few farm tricks, and is not a warrior at all."

Tang Jiu was calm, "Master, why do you need a warrior to kill people? A bowl of water, a handkerchief, a bowl of rice... as long as you want to kill, you can always find an opportunity. I look at that person and know he is the same kind, with many lives on his hands. Compared to him, I win in youth and talent, but he is more experienced than me.

My case, the Master should have understood, at the crime scene, except for the plum blossom carving, no traces can be found. That plum blossom carving was very popular that year, plum blossom hairpin, almost every young girl and young wife had one. My mother had a red gold plum blossom hairpin, I hid under the wet nurse, the only thing I could see was that plum blossom hairpin.

I heard the Six Shanmen people say that they were able to think of tracing clues twenty years ago because of the plum blossom carving I left behind. Without that plum blossom carving, this case would have become a suspended case, and I'm afraid it would never be solved in this life.

I have an obsession, I must leave a plum blossom carving, otherwise my thoughts will not be clear, this is my loophole, it is my mark, of course I am willing to do so. But that person, he will not leave any loopholes when killing people, he will definitely handle the scene cleanly."

Does Chen Guanlou believe it?

He believes it.

He believes that the same kind of people have their own radar, will have the same frequency, allowing them to find each other in the vast sea of people at a glance.

He instructed Tang Jiu, "This person, this matter, you should rot it in your heart, don't mention this matter to a third person again. Just treat it as if you don't know anything."

"Does the Master not intend to investigate?" Tang Jiu was clearly very surprised, the progress of the matter was completely different from what he imagined.

Chen Guanlou bared his teeth and said earnestly: "Tang Jiu, this is the Heavenly Prison, only responsible for guarding prisoners. Investigating cases is the errand of the Six Shanmen. The most important point in doing things is not to overstep boundaries. If you want to be a three-good prisoner, you can report it. Now this official asks you, do you want to report it?"

Tang Jiu was stunned for a moment, "Wasn't it considered reporting before?"

"It doesn't count! Not registered in the official document, it doesn't count. Now I formally ask you, do you want to report it?"

"Is there any benefit?" Tang Jiu hesitated for a while before asking.

Chen Guanlou shook his head slowly, "If it's a co-offender, maybe there is. You, definitely not. Maybe you have to go to the Imperial Prison. Once you enter the Imperial Prison, life and death are unpredictable, no one can protect you, you can only ask for your own blessings and listen to heaven's fate. Your treatment can only stop. Now, have you thought clearly, do you want to report it?"

"What if I don't report it?"

Chen Guanlou smiled and said softly: "Just treat it as listening to a story, listen and forget."

Tang Jiu opened his mouth, seeing the real side of the Heavenly Prison for the first time.

He grabbed a handful of hair, tangled for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "Master, I just told a story, don't take it seriously."

Chen Guanlou laughed immediately, "Who would take listening to a story seriously. Keep the rules, treat on time, don't worry about extra things."

After saying that, he carried his hands on his back and began to patrol the cells.

Standing in front of the old farmer's cell, three people were locked in the cell. The old farmer was the most unremarkable one, looking harmless, his temperament was very village-like, very sincere, and very honest. This kind of person usually doesn't arouse other people's vigilance, and even little girls will feel safe.

Chen Guanlou pondered, this guy's temperament is really a natural killer.

He has seen many ocean-going thieves and Jianghu bandits in the C-grade prison. These people, without exception, have a temperament radiating from the inside out: not a good stubble! Standing in the crowd, they will arouse other people's vigilance, and others dare not get close.

He knocked on the cell fence and shouted, "Have you committed any crimes?"

"Big big big..."

"Big what big? Just ask you a few, have you committed any crimes?"

"No, no."

The old farmer never made a sound, and the other two were the ones talking. Naturally, everyone would subconsciously ignore the old farmer's existence.

"If you haven't committed any crimes, why were you caught by the Brocade Uniform Guard?"

"It is said that a noble encountered an assassination, we were too unlucky, just because we lived nearby, we were caught."

"Before and after the assassination, you didn't find any abnormality."

"No! Master, we are all wronged."

"It's useless to call me wronged. You are prisoners of the Imperial Prison, just temporarily deposited in the Heavenly Prison. If you have committed a crime, or know it and don't report it, it's best to confess honestly while the Brocade Uniform Guard is not here. This official might be able to save your life. When the Imperial Prison is free to clean you up, hehe..."

The two words 'hehe' are the most frightening.

Because I don't know the content behind 'hehe', it's all based on imagination. That is the Imperial Prison, it is the Brocade Uniform Guard, a fierce god who can stop children from crying. Just imagination can scare yourself to death.

"Master, save me!"

"If you don't confess anything, you want this official to save your life, how big is your face?"

"But we really don't know anything!"

Chen Guanlou kept a straight face, his eyes swept across the three people one by one, and stayed on the old farmer for two more seconds, "If you want to live, find a way to save yourself. That's all I have to say, you guys behave yourself."

After leaving the words and planting the seeds of fear, Chen Guanlou walked away leisurely.

Whether there is a harvest or not doesn't matter. He is not a case-handling person anyway.

If there are dates or not, hit two poles, do it at will, don't ask for results.

Medical Official Mu learned of his decision and nodded, very approving, "This kind of thing, indeed cannot be easily intervened. This also involves the Second Prince's assassination case. If you really report it, I'm afraid the madmen of the Brocade Uniform Guard will implicate the Heavenly Prison, and they will climb up recklessly, and by then everyone will lose their heads."

"Since you know the seriousness of the matter, you still tell me and pull me into the water. Old Mu, your heart is black enough." Chen Guanlou teased without scruples.

Medical Official Mu looked like it was a matter of course, "You are the Prison Warden, this matter should naturally be decided by you. Besides, I think Tang Jiu, his brain shouldn't be very good, must rely on your three-inch tongue to persuade him. Old man, I don't have your skill, I can't persuade people." ===== CHAPTER 604 =====
