The daughter of the emperor returned to Beijing and got into trouble with the abstinent prince.

Chapter 107 Pure Nature

County government office

The officers had never seen such a grand occasion. When the lawyer came back to make arrangements, everyone followed his instructions with great fear and trepidation.

Those who went to the school to pick up people were picking up people, and those who went to the school to sweep the hall were doing so in an unprecedentedly diligent manner, which was very different from the lazy atmosphere of the past.

After all, some of those who were short-sighted have been dismissed, and now they know how powerful we are, and no one dares to neglect us.

After Jun Yanci came in, he sat directly in the middle seat of the yamen. On his right were Yun Jingyi and Shen Fengyu, and on his left were County Magistrate Xia and the legal advisor.

Yun Qianyi followed the coroner in the back hall of the hall, studying Xiaoluo's body.

The child died so tragically, the murderer must have left some clues.

"Mr. Xue, why did Xiaoluo get hit so many times on the face? If the murderer wanted to kill him, why didn't he just kill him with one blow?"

Yes, instead of going through the trouble of burying him alive, it is better to kill him directly and get rid of him once and for all.

Why would they use such a cumbersome method? It is time-consuming, laborious, and carries the risk of being discovered.

"Ms. Yun, I think the murderer does not have enough ability to commit the crime."

But killing a twelve-year-old child is not difficult for an adult.

"The force of the blows was not strong, but accumulated over time, which caused Xiaolu's face to sink to this extent. The human skull is very hard. Even a strong man who does hard labor would have to use all his strength to do this."

After listening to what Coroner Xue said, Yun Qianyi fell into deep thought. She already had some guesses in her mind, but she hoped that the facts were not what she thought.

Otherwise it will be difficult.

The officers here led people very quickly. Not long after, when Yun Qianyi just walked to the front hall, he saw more than twenty people standing in the hall.

The teachers of the school and all the students, aged between six and fourteen, were all brought here.

"I, Cheng Hui, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, General Shen, and the County Magistrate."

Master Xu and the students behind him knelt on the ground, their uneasy expressions revealing the nervousness of everyone.

Seeing such unfamiliar officers and the Shen family soldiers whose momentum was obviously different from that of ordinary soldiers, although the teacher was a scholar, he also knew that something big must have happened in the city.

"Master Xu, do you remember that you had a student named Cheng Lu?"

Before coming, Jun Yanci and others specifically asked Manager Cheng about the situation of their children.

Cheng Lu is only twelve years old, but he is a good student and very polite and sensible. He often helps out in the restaurant. Because he has always been at the top of the class in his studies, he will be able to enroll in Bitong Academy next year.

"Your Highness, I certainly remember that this is the most outstanding student in our school."

Jun Yanci reached out to Yun Qianyi behind him and pulled her to his side, with their hands interlocked.

"Cheng Lu was murdered yesterday, and the location was most likely near the school."

When these words were spoken, Master Xu was immediately shocked. He stood there dumbfounded, unable to utter a word for a long time.

How could this happen? Didn’t Cheng Lu go home with those students?
"This, this is not possible. How could this be possible?"

While Master Xu was muttering to himself, he suddenly turned his head and asked:

"You three went home from school with Cheng Lu. What happened on the way?"

At this time, everyone noticed that in the second row behind Master Xu, there were three children who were about the same age, height and build as Cheng Lu. Yun Qianyi narrowed her beautiful eyes, frowned, and tapped Jun Yanci's hand with her index finger.

Jun Yanci glanced at Yun Qianyi's expression calmly, then said to the three children below:

"Tell me all, one by one."

The three children looked at each other, and the one in the middle spoke:

"I am Fu Siqing. Yesterday I chatted with Cheng Lu at the entrance of the school, and then I met Xia Yuhao and Wen Yuan who came later. The four of us did leave the school together, but we separated from them in the alley on the third street. I don't know what happened to Cheng Lu afterwards."

"I am Xia Yuhao, a commoner. After Wen Yuan and I finished our exams, we went straight home from the academy. We ran into Fu Siqing and Cheng Lu at the door. Then Cheng Lu said he was going shopping and left on his own. Wen Yuan and I have been together the whole time. I even stayed at his house that night. We went to the academy together today."

"I am Wen Yuan, just as Xia Yuhao said, we have always been together, and I don't know where Cheng Lu went in the end."

The three people's words were flawless and matched each other.

"It seems that there are indeed vicious criminals in the city. Order martial law, let every household be on high alert, and increase patrols by officials to protect the safety of the people in the city!"

County Magistrate Xia immediately gave orders to his legal advisor, as he was convinced that there were criminals at work.

"Tell it again from the beginning in more detail, including when you left the academy, when you separated, and when you arrived home."

As soon as Yun Qianyi finished speaking, everyone present looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Except for Jun Yanci, he understood Yun Qianyi's intention in just a moment.

"Start from the left. Say it again."

Xia Yuhao, Fu Siqing, and Wen Yuan repeated what they had just said. The three of them spoke at the same time.

But unexpectedly, Jun Yanci said:

"Start from the right side and continue saying it again."

No one dared to say anything, so Wen Yuan, Fu Siqing and Xia Yuhao began to repeat what they had just said.

After listening to this, Yun Qianyi glanced at them indifferently.

"Tell me again in reverse order, from the time you arrived home, on the way, and finally in the school, every detail must be told."

This time, all three of them started talking without thinking, the time was different from what they had just said, and they even got the direction of home wrong.

Fu Siqing, in particular, had begun to blush. He seemed to have realized something, and when he looked into the pair of fox eyes in the hall, cold sweat broke out on his back.

"You can't make black into white. If you memorize something and say it in the same way, you can repeat it ten or a hundred times. But if you say it in the opposite way, the lie will be exposed."

After Yun Qianyi finished speaking, Yun Jingyi and Shen Fengyu immediately reacted and began to look at the three children seriously.

"Sir, noble sir, the child is still young. If you ask him questions like this, he will be scared. Naturally, he will not know what I am saying."

"Yes, let the children go back to school. If you have any questions, just ask us."

"Yes, we are the children's parents. We should know what they are doing. Let's talk about it."

At this time, Fu Siqing and Wen Yuan's parents both knelt down and moved forward a few steps, tightly shielding their children behind them.

Yun Qianyi looked at this scene where the man loved his son as if his life were his own and laughed out loud, with sarcasm in his eyes and a cold expression on his face.

"They have teamed up to kill someone, but what about the child?"
