I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 136: Was Mu Bai deceived again?

Uncle Guo is dead.

Cao An targeted one person from the entire Shangjiang City, and the efficiency of the Privy Council was fully unleashed.

The whereabouts investigation on that day had already confirmed that the uncle had been to the Privy Council, and the time coincided perfectly with the murder of the Privy Councilor.

The ingredients of the wine in the Zhangyuan's mouth were also found to be [Mi Xin Powder], which is a secret medicine prepared by the royal physician and specially used to deal with masters.

However, because of its spicy taste and the need to take it orally, it is not practical. In addition, the calling authority is high, and there is only one record of calling it recently, and it was Guojiu.

It can be said that the evidence of the crime of killing the leader has been found. The only thing missing now is the evidence of the crime from 20 years ago.

It's been too long and all the evidence is gone.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to convict the uncle of an orphan of the Shen family based on a blood letter." The prince was still trying to clear up the relationship for himself.

If the uncle is dead, he will die, and now the prince and the queen want to save their lives.

As long as the pile of criminal evidence from 20 years ago cannot be characterized, then the mother and son can work hard to distance themselves from each other and pretend to be pitiful, and they will not be too implicated.

Of course Cao An also knew this.

After all, the blood letter could be forged, and the orphan of the Shen family might be a liar. Emperor Wan Jing couldn't dig up his father's tomb again to check the funerary objects.

Ye Siyi chose to commit suicide because he had no evidence in the first place.

But Cao An was different. He just smiled and put the blood book away again.

"Your Highness, the reason why I let you read the blood book is not to discuss the credibility with you. I just want to give Feng Shilang some face and tell you what the evidence is.

"If you don't believe me, you can go back to the palace now. I may have nothing to do with you tomorrow morning."

Cao An's words were like a demon whispering in evil ears, making the prince couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

That's right, whether the evidence is sufficient does not depend on how you see it, but on how Emperor Wan Jing sees it.

You may not believe it, but what if Emperor Wan Jing believes it?
  That would be the end of the whole family being slaughtered and the nine Zhulian clans, and the queen and the prince would definitely be implicated.

In addition, Cao An is famous, what if he still has some killer moves hidden? If he goes back now, isn't he waiting to die?
  Do you want to bet?

"No bet, we don't bet. Master Cao, please find a way to help us!" The prince's submission made Cao An sigh in relief.

Based on the evidence in hand, it's unclear whether he can be convicted. But think about it, the prince and the queen seem to be even less sure.

Ye Siyi was soft-spoken, but he had a gold medal in his hand and was not afraid that the prince would fall for him.

Of course, they still have to pretend on the surface. The mother and son are not good people. Even if they have nothing to do with the case, they can't make it easy.

Cao An reluctantly stood up, shook his head and said, "I can't help with this case."

"No, you can help, as long as you hide what happened 20 years ago, that's all!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. The education I received since childhood does not support me doing this kind of thing. You have misjudged the wrong person."

Such a merciless rejection shocked the two of them.

No wonder Cao An is famous for being a murderer. When solving a case, this person does not pay attention to any twists and turns. He must get to the bottom of the case. Whether it is a human or a ghost, he will be put in the cell.

The prince felt cruel. He couldn't believe that there were such upright people in this world. It was just because the price was not enough, so he offered the biggest increase!

"Cao Shuixiu, what do you think of my sister?"

"???"

Cao An looked back at this man in confusion. He just wanted to make a sum of money, not a single person!
  Just slowly increase the chips and increase them directly to the top. Are you sick?

And I'm just a detective, and your sister is a princess. Are you sure this status can be equaled?
  "Cao Shuixiu has achieved such achievements at such a young age. It will not be difficult for him to be promoted to an official position in the future. If you agree, we will be a family in the future, and my mother and I will mediate for you.

"Of course, in addition to that, there will be a reward afterwards, so you won't let your work go in vain."

You said it would be fine if you gave her money, but you still forcefully hooked up with a younger sister. There is something wrong with your brain.

Seeing Cao An's hesitation, the prince felt that his sister's price was high enough, so he began to brag.

"My sister is skillful and elegant. Many officials and talented people fall in love with my sister at first sight, but I think she is more suitable for Master Cao."

"Are you sure?" Cao An opened the door to the room.

He could just see the backyard, but before he could see clearly, the sound had already come.

"cheers!!"

"cheers!!"

On Sanyang's grave, Wen Zhao was very happy to meet a group of bohemian friends. At this moment, he was holding Xiao Jiu and drinking with Tinder.

Just this, you tell me, it’s skillful and elegant?

"Another advantage of her is that she dares to love and hate, and has a true temperament."

"..."

The true temperament cannot be seen, but the real turmoil is unmistakable.

"Forget it, just think of me as selling out to the princess, and I'll give you a chance this time."

"Thank you, Master Cao. I wonder what opportunity you are talking about?"

"I must investigate the case. Even if 20 years have passed, I must help the deceased get justice."

"Then let's..."

"You can lead a team to arrest people."

... As the hour approached, everything in Uncle Guo's house was quiet.

As Minister of the Ministry of Industry, on a holiday in the past, this place would already be bustling with traffic and crowded with people, including many officials and businessmen coming to visit.

Only today is very desolate. Everyone knows that Uncle Guo is in trouble.

And it was obvious that the uncle-in-law had no intention of sitting still and waiting to die.

Seeing that the time to close the city gate was approaching, the gate of the uncle's palace opened, and carriages rushed out. Beside the carriages, there were a large number of people wearing black guards.

"As you can see, His Highness' uncle is preparing to escape. If he leaves, you will be in trouble."

In the distance, Cao An stood side by side with the prince, with the Forbidden Army guards behind him. It was obvious that he had expected that this man would run away, and had already set up a trap to capture him.

Of course, this arrest cannot be made by Cao An, but by the prince and princess.

As a secret agent of the Privy Council, Wen Zhao had long been accustomed to performing tasks. Now he was standing in front of the formation with an excited face, looking for Cao An to play with. As expected, there were new tricks every day.

As for the prince, he was worried about his uncle's status as an elder.

But when he saw the chaotic arrest scene in front of him, he felt cruel.

If you don't care about the life or death of our mother and son, then I can't hold back either.

He took a step forward and shouted loudly: "I am the prince of the current dynasty, and I am assisting Cao Shuixiu in handling the case. Uncle Guo, please just arrest me, you can't escape."

The prince's shouting clearly caused chaos in the opposing camp. The people in black who were still struggling to charge into the formation gradually stopped resisting.

There was no movement in the carriage, because those were just disguises. The real Uncle Guo was hiding among the men in black and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

The appearance of the prince made him completely stop thinking about it.

Taking off the black cloth on his face, the uncle looked at the prince with a pained face: "I didn't expect that you would be the one who came to arrest me in the end."

Although the queen lived in the harem, she was still a relative after all. She was forced into desperation by her family, and the uncle of the country was also very sad.

But Cao An on the side was not sympathetic: "If you really cared about family ties, you wouldn't use the queen's name to control the courtyard. To this day, you are the one to blame."

Cao An's sarcasm also made the prince determined: "If you run away like this, my mother and I will suffer in the end. If you still think about friendship in your heart, you should bear these crimes yourself!"

Looking at the dazzling blades around him, Uncle Guo knew that there was no hope of escape, so he smiled bitterly and threw down the weapon, and surrendered without mercy.

Succeeded?
  The arrest process went smoothly beyond expectations. Even after Uncle Guo was arrested, he wrote a confession neatly and neatly. The matter seemed to be uneventful.

But why did Cao An make such a simple issue so complicated?

This coercion and inducement has been going on for a long time, what is the purpose?
  "Uncle Tu Guo can admit all the crimes. If I take action, I don't have the confidence to make him confess all the crimes." Cao An did not want to give up the credit, but had to give up part of it.

Uncle Guo is already dead. His crimes are so serious that ordinary cutting will not help.

If Cao An goes to convict, Uncle Guo will definitely resist with all his strength. He will deny the cases 20 years ago and protect his relatives and friends.

Many details without evidence may not come to light, and justice cannot be given to the deceased.

But if the prince comes forward, things will be different.

The prince had an excuse to make up for his merits. Faced with the betrayal and separation before him, and the final attempt to persuade his family to surrender, the uncle would completely give up the resistance, obediently tell the truth, and help his sister and nephew survive.

This is what Cao An wants.

In addition, Cao An also wanted to know the answers to several things. Only when Uncle Guo completely gave up resistance could he ask the truth.

……

After a joint arrest, the person was finally escorted back to the Tsing Yi Department to await the verdict in court tomorrow.

The prince will naturally stay tonight. He and several officials will study the confession he will make to the court tomorrow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao An also wanted to chat with this uncle.

The dungeon of the Tsing Yi Department is a bit dilapidated. There is no other way. It has been useless for a long time. I don't want the first person to be arrested to be the uncle.

"It's just one night, uncle Guo, let's make do with it." Cao An brought the bed and quilt to the dungeon.

He is playing the tenderness card and hopes to have a good chat with this person.

Uncle Guo was very open-minded. He leaned against the wall and murmured to himself:
  "Ever since I started to be greedy, I knew that one day I would eventually do this. But I admire Cao Shuixiu's ability."

This one was risking his life, knowing that he was going to die, so he was able to save the lives of his sister and nephew before he died, which was pretty good.

But Cao An shook his head: "To be honest, this is the strangest thing to me. It's also something I've always wanted to ask you for confirmation."

"Oh, is there something Cao Shuixiu doesn't know about?"

"Yes, I don't know where the flaw in your case from 20 years ago was discovered?"

"Huh? Cao Shuixiu asked me? Isn't it the case you discovered?"

"I didn't check it, it was Ye Siyi who checked it. She even left a blood letter."

Cao An asked the doubts that had been pressing in his heart.

Indeed, Jian Zheng told Ye Siyi about the scam of "Rising Star Coming to the World".

But that's all. Jian Zheng was not involved in what happened back then and it is impossible to know the truth.

Then how did Ye Siyi find out about Uncle Guo?
  "Could it be... that that person harmed me!" Uncle Guo's expression suddenly became fierce, and he later realized that he seemed to have been betrayed.

"Who? Who still knows about this?"

"Jiaofang Secretary, that Mubai courtesan, I have been cooperating with her, I'm afraid she betrayed me."
