Ch 199: Special Constitution

“Sir, my jade pendant accidentally fell into the well…”

County Magistrate Fang’s corpulent body trembled, his eyes filled with despair and fear; he almost fainted.

He had just killed a girl last night, and to seek excitement, he threw her in that well!

And he told all the servants not to use the water from that well…

It’s over, it’s all over…

Si Yingzhuo was a little speechless. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

This Lu Jianshi, he discovered something, a little unreliable, clumsy.

But remembering his special constitution, Si Yingzhuo’s brow smoothed out, and his eyes shot out a sharp light…

Si Yingzhuo subconsciously glanced at County Magistrate Fang. He saw the latter’s face was pale, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his small eyes nervously stared at the well.

Si Yingzhuo made a decisive decision: “Retrieve the well immediately!”

The Ministry of Justice constables immediately went to retrieve it.

A constable lowered a bucket, retrieved it, it was a full bucket of water, nothing unusual.

Si Yingzhuo secretly glanced at County Magistrate Fang. The latter seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, his tense shoulders relaxing slightly.

The corners of Si Yingzhuo’s lips curled up slightly. Years of investigative experience told Si Yingzhuo that the well definitely had a problem.

His gaze turned to Lu Jianshi, remembering how the Ministry of Justice searched the riverbank for evidence for so long, finding nothing, then he fished the murder weapon up in one go.

He smirked, pointing at Lu Jianshi and said: “Lu Jianshi, you retrieve it.”

Lu Jianshi: Thank you, Sir, for believing in my abilities. I am indeed professionally qualified.

Lu Jianshi rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thin arms. He lowered the wooden bucket, wanting to pull the rope to haul the bucket up, but after pulling twice, he frowned, unable to pull it up no matter how hard he tried.

Si Yingzhuo’s eyes lit up, he rushed forward in three strides, the hem of his red official robe fluttering, and he commanded the other constables: “Help him pull!”

Two constables went to help, put their hands on the rope and pulled, their faces changed, veins bulging on their arms.

What is it, so heavy!

Finally, three people used all their might to pull the rope up two meters.

As they pulled, a “pop” sound suddenly came from the well.

The force in their hands suddenly loosened, the thing in their hands suddenly became lighter, the three of them staggered back two steps, almost falling into a heap.

Although the thing that was pulled up became lighter, it was still heavier than an ordinary water-filled wooden bucket.

They pulled the rope up a few more meters before hauling up the bucket.

Everyone saw what was pulled up.

The wooden bucket was hooked onto a strand of black hair, and below it was clearly a girl’s corpse! The broken rope swayed around the corpse’s waist, evidently having originally held a heavier object.

When they were pulling just now, they broke the rope, and the heavy object fell again, so their hands lightened.

Everyone looked at Lu Jianshi in disbelief, the latter remained expressionless, he was used to it.

County Magistrate Fang’s two large fat legs trembled, and even his corpulent belly undulated.

It’s over, it’s over, his secret has been exposed!

Si Yingzhuo looked at the girl’s corpse, his eyes burning with fury.

He liked children, and this child, had been subjected to such treatment, directly killed!

“You beast!” He directly took a step forward to County Magistrate Fang’s side and kicked him hard in the groin.

“Aaah——” County Magistrate Fang’s pig-like scream pierced the sky.

His body uncontrollably knelt down, his fat body trembling like a sieve, his nose and tears covering his face.

“Confess honestly, have you killed anyone else!” Si Yingzhuo bent down and grabbed his collar, squeezing these words out from between his teeth.

County Magistrate Fang shook his head frantically, his facial fat shaking: “Sir, no more, really no more!”

At this time, a “plop” sound came from a distance.

Si Yingzhuo immediately turned around and said: “What’s going on!”

A constable said: “Sir, Lu Jianshi just went to relieve himself, I guess he accidentally fell into the pond!”

County Magistrate Fang heard the two words “pond”, his eyes rolled back, and his fat body collapsed like a mountain.

After Lu Jianshi fell into the pond, somehow, he sank to the bottom, and somehow, he randomly grabbed something.

He tread water and came up, finding himself holding a corpse…

Lu Jianshi looked at the corpse in his hands expressionlessly, calmly swimming to the shore.

The Ministry of Justice people, because they understood Lu Jianshi’s special constitution, were somewhat prepared.

Kuang Yi was completely dumbfounded, frozen in place, his eyes wide.

What kind of constitution is this person? An innate crime-detecting sacred body?

A talent, a real talent!

His eyes towards Lu Jianshi were filled with disbelief, then turned into deep admiration, almost giving a thumbs up.

Yueyue had her injuries checked by the physician. She had only been hit with a stick, and it wasn’t serious, just a little redness and swelling on her bottom, some medicine would suffice.

She tilted her head, her bright big eyes staring at Kuang Yi without blinking, her small hand unconsciously twisting her clothes, and said in a milky voice: “You, are you really my father?”

The little girl’s voice seemed to strike straight into Kuang Yi’s heart.

Kuang Yi’s breathing instantly stopped.

He suddenly turned his face away, his fingers tightly clutching his sleeve, his knuckles turning white.

But tears still uncontrollably flowed out, leaving two clear tear tracks on his face.

He hastily wiped his face with his sleeve, looking at Yueyue’s face, which was quite similar to his own, and nodded repeatedly, his voice choked to the point where he could barely speak complete words: “Yes, I’m your father… you are my daughter. Father, father is sorry, all these years, I haven’t taken care of you…”

Yueyue, with a dirt-stained face, revealed a naive smile: “Great, Yueyue finally has a father! Does that mean Yueyue doesn’t have to go to Bai Ti Ju’s Charity Bureau anymore?”

Kuang Yi said: “Yes, you don’t have to go anymore, come home with your father.” Then his gaze turned sharp as he looked at Bai Ti Ju, who was kneeling and bound, trembling: “As for this Bai Ti Ju, he will pay the price he deserves!”

At this time, Grand Censor Kuang Guhuai hurried over.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he froze, his gray eyebrows raised high.

His gaze swept back and forth between Yueyue and Kuang Yi. He suddenly slapped his thigh: “This is my granddaughter? Resemblance, the truth!”

He was about to reach out to hug his granddaughter, but he was afraid of scaring the child, his hand hesitating in mid-air.

Yueyue directly and crisply called out “Grandfather”.

Kuang Guhuai was instantly in tears, trembling as he embraced his granddaughter, his wrinkled face rubbing against the child’s soft hair.

Yueyue was very happy, her eyes smiling like crescent moons. She had thought she was a child no one wanted, but now she had a father and a grandfather, she also had family!

Kuang Guhuai heard about what happened before, and was so angry that his beard was askew. The old man strode to the side of County Magistrate Fang and Bai Ti Ju, who were kneeling and bound. Both of them looked up at Kuang Guhuai, with fawning smiles.
