From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 372 This carp is about to transform into a dragon.
"Master, we have brought You Ming back."

"The last person Cangyuanjiang God saw before his death was this kid."

Faultier was worried that the chief judge might not have thoroughly investigated the background of such a minor character, so he offered a brief introduction.

"I told you to bring the person back, not to bring them back by kidnapping."

But just as Xing Fang and the others were waiting for the Master to speak, the tall, thin figure finally spoke.

His voice was extremely unpleasant, like two pieces of metal rubbing together, full of harshness.

His words caught Xing Fang and the others completely off guard.

"Wha...what?"

They didn't quite understand what the judge meant. Wasn't this how they always brought suspects back to the yamen?
"You will all go and receive your punishments in a moment."

The head of the department simply waved his hand, giving Xing Fang and the others no chance to explain.

Xing Fang and the others blushed slightly. What the hell was going on?

Their journey to heaven had been incredibly strange, especially the Lord's behavior, which made them feel as if they were dreaming.

Although criminal law stipulates that suspects do not need to be restrained, most of the time, those they identify as suspects are already quite problematic, so their methods are generally quite brutal.

Moreover, the Chief Justice has always advocated strict punishment, so why is he now punishing them for such a trivial matter?
Xing Fang's mind raced, and his gaze fell on You Ming. Suddenly, he thought of something.

From the behavior of the [Fertility Department] and others, to the Weaver Girl giving away clothes, to the God Lord's words, and now the strange change in the Department Head, there must be something they don't know about happening behind the scenes.

Could it be that this kid has some powerful connections?

But they had already investigated. Although You Ming was a disciple of Bixia Yuanjun, he only had a superficial relationship with her. He was not even a disciple, let alone a direct descendant. At most, he was a subordinate of Yuanjun's disciple.

In the celestial realm, the Criminal Law Department wouldn't even consider this relationship a priority.

'yes……'

Despite their inner resentment, they dared not disobey the Lord's orders.

Seeing that the master glanced at them, they wisely withdrew.

"You...You Ming, right?"

The Master slowly raised his head and looked at You Ming.

Although he still maintained a cold demeanor, for some reason, You Ming could detect a hint of closeness, even... awe, in his tone.

"Master, I am You Ming."

You Ming quickly cupped his hands in greeting. Such a great deity would certainly not show any respect to a nobody like him; he must have been mistaken.

He's gotten too arrogant. He just killed a third-rank deity, and now he dares to look down on the head of the Criminal Law Department.

"Since we've brought you here, we're just going through the motions. Don't overthink it."

"With the help of [Spatial Rewind], we finally determined that Shui Lanshi died at the hands of the evil demon."

"She wouldn't have died otherwise, but unfortunately, a few days ago she went to the North Sea and fought a battle with an old dragon guarding the Six Hearts Glazed Fire. Although she obtained the flame, she was also seriously injured."

"As for why she's chasing you, that's a personal grudge between the two of you, and we won't get involved. After all, it's her who's chasing you, not the other way around."

"Moreover, according to the laws of the Heavenly Realm, a third-rank deity who bullies a lower-rank deity by relying on his strength shall be punished with a hundred strikes of lightning."

"But since she is already dead, we have no way to hold her accountable."

The master spoke very slowly, as if he was carefully choosing each word.

But the more You Ming listened, the more something seemed off. Could a case really be investigated like this?
Although he didn't know anything about solving cases, as someone who had a grudge against Jiang Shen and was the last person he had contact with before his death, he had to interrogate him carefully, at least to find out how the grudge had started. "Master is wise."

However, since the Master's words were all biased towards him, You Ming could only flatter him.

He's not stupid. They've already said so much, why would he expose himself?

"Master, I have something to say. The River Goddess is pregnant..."

However, You Ming suddenly thought of something. Speaking of potential dangers, he didn't know what had happened to the baby.

This baby is the reincarnation of a powerful figure, and the Six Hearts Glazed Fire has freed me from my restraints. I can't sleep or eat in peace if I don't kill it.

"Youming".

"The child conceived by Shui Lan is a direct descendant of the Seven Killings Star Lord, and there is no problem with that."

But at that moment, the Master suddenly raised his voice a few decibels.

His dark eyes were fixed on You Ming.

You Ming's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this must involve some important figures in the Heavenly Realm, figures beyond his level of access.

He knew that if he talked nonsense, people might die, so he wisely shut his mouth.

“You Ming, now I am asking you a serious question.”

"Did you collude with the demon of the underworld to kill or harm the God of Cangyuan River?"

The head of the department held a book in his hand. He looked at You Ming and asked seriously.

"No, I can swear to my own inner demons that I absolutely did not collude with the Infernal Demon to kill or indirectly harm the God of Cangyuan River."

You Ming answered very seriously.

He spoke with absolute certainty, and he was absolutely not lying.

As for whether he indirectly caused the death of the River Goddess, that is certainly true. However, with the premise of collusion with the Infernal Demon added, the conclusion naturally becomes invalid.

He has a clear conscience.

However, he also knew that since the Master had deliberately added a premise, it meant that he guessed that Jiang Shen's death was most likely related to him, only that the methods were different.

“Very well, one cannot lie within the Hall of Inquiry. Since the death of Cangyuanjiang God has nothing to do with you, your suspicion has been cleared.”

"I will have someone send you back in a little while. Also, Xing Fang and the others were a bit rough and may have caused you some grievances. I will have someone send all the compensation to your cave."

The head of the department made a note in the book before continuing.

"Is this the end?"

You Ming was very surprised. The Criminal Law Department had gone to great lengths to capture him just to ask this one question?

"What? You want to stay in the Heavenly Prison for a few more days?"

The chief raised his head, and although his tone was cold, it seemed to be joking.

"No...no, I just find it strange."

You Ming was filled with a strange feeling. Since he was arrested, although he had increased his luck to 27 points, it shouldn't have caused such a big change in the attitude of the All-Gods Team, and even affected the investigation by the Criminal Law Department.

The official did not answer him, but was filled with deep emotion.

This little carp is about to transform into a dragon.
