Chapter 437 Xu Zhi: I am a good monk who seeks justice for the people

"Snapped!"

As the gavel sounded in the yamen hall, the whispers of the people outside the door disappeared in an instant.

Zhou Shihai declared in a stern voice: "The criminal Xu Lin took the initiative to admit that he brutally killed 74 people in the Xu family, but he refused to explain the process of the crime. He seems to be refusing to repent. The criminal listens to my order!"

Lin Shuhui, who was kneeling, had a numb expression, as if she didn't care about the verdict on herself, let alone her own ending.

"Xu Lin will be beheaded and his body will be exposed to the sun for three days as a warning to others!"

"it is good!"

"Kill this vicious woman!"

"Kill her!"

Following the shouts of the people outside the venue, Zhou Shihai slowly stood up from his seat, picked up a fire stick from the stick tube on the table with two fingers, and threw it to the hall.

To everyone's surprise, the fire stick actually stopped in mid-air and then automatically returned to the stick tube.

There was silence for a moment, and suddenly a terrified shout was heard from outside the door.

“Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost, ahhhhhhh!”

"Ahhhhh!"

There was a sudden commotion outside the door. Some people wanted to escape out of fear, but some people were brave enough not to fear death and tried to squeeze in instead. The opposing crowds were squeezed together in an instant.

As an official, Zhou Shihai knew that there were no ghosts in this world, but there were ascetics who were not in the same field as them, and all the ascetics knew magic.

So he did not panic, but looked around, trying to find the monk who cast the spell.

Before the bailiffs could pacify the people, a man flew in from above their heads. The people, who were originally in a panic, forgot their fear for a moment and all looked at this man who came out of nowhere.

The man was wearing a yellow square robe, with a string of Buddhist beads around his neck and a Buddhist stick in his hand. His shiny head and six scars indicated that he was a monk.

The monk landed beside Lin Shuhui, and Zhou Shihai, who was standing blankly in the court, bowed slowly.

"Zhou Zhizhou, I am Xu Zhi, a disciple of Wuliang Sect. I heard about the Xu family case while traveling and found it quite strange. I hope that Zhizhou can postpone the closing of the case and I will definitely find out the truth!"

After all, the Deqing Town managed by Zhou Shihai was under the protection of Wuliang Sect, so he knew a lot about the disciples of Wuliang Sect. After taking a closer look at Xuzhi's face, he was 70% to 80% sure of his identity, so he immediately returned the greeting respectfully.

"Master Xuzhi! I am Zhou Shihai, the prefect of Deqing Town. There are indeed many doubts in handling the case of Xu Lin. However, the case was extremely cruel and evil, and the people and the higher-ups are very concerned about it. Now that the case has been handled for more than half a month, if it is delayed any further, it may cause a lot of dissatisfaction."

After traveling for nearly ten years and experiencing many worldly cases, Xu Zhi is now very different from the past. At least he has a clear understanding of the twists and turns in many things. Therefore, he quickly concluded from Zhou Shihai's words that he was under pressure from his superiors to close the case.

"Zhou Zhizhou, why don't you wait for three more days? I will definitely give you an answer in three days."

Zhou Shihai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was extremely grateful that Xu Zhi was not a stubborn and stupid monk, otherwise it would be difficult for him to be caught in the middle and he would definitely be affected.

"Since Master Xuzhi said so, I might as well give him some leniency. I will give him three days. After the three days, this case will be heard for the last time. Regardless of whether the truth is found or not, I will close the case based on the existing evidence. I just hope that Master Xuzhi can find the truth."

Xu Zhi bowed, then looked down at the kneeling Lin Shuhui. Seeing that she was still indifferent, he couldn't help but shake his head with emotion.

A murder case that should have been closed was so dramatically delayed. The people spread the news by word of mouth, and soon the rumor that "a monk will find out the truth within three days" spread among the people in the town.

People all scoffed at this, and almost all of them thought that Xuzhi was a hypocritical fake monk, and they also hated his behavior of exonerating criminals.

Xu Zhi was unaware of the indignation outside, and even if he heard it he would not take it to heart. At this moment, his mind and eyes were filled with the murder case in front of him.

Regardless of whether Lin Shuhui was the real murderer or not, he had to find out the motive for the crime. On the one hand, it was to avoid wrongly accusing any innocent person, and on the other hand, it was to be able to judge a person's guilt fairly and impartially.

After all, a long time ago, a little boy taught him that what you see is not necessarily true, and what you hear is not necessarily false. If you don't know all the motives and clues behind an event, you can't get the truth 100%.

Following the jailer in the dim cell, Xu Zhi inexplicably thought of Luo Yiyi - the child who had completely changed him. He wondered how she was doing now.

Thinking aimlessly, he was soon brought to the cell door where Lin Shuhui was imprisoned alone.

After entering the opened cell door, the jailer gave some instructions and then locked the door again, waiting to open it again when the time came.

Xu Zhi looked around the cell. The whole cell was very simple. There was a stone bed covered with straw and a toilet in the corner. There was nothing else.

Lin Shuhui curled up in the corner of the stone bed, motionless, her eyes staring dully at a point, perhaps she was looking at something else through this point.

In short, apart from information related to the case, she still has no response to the outside world.

This is what Xuzhi found strange, and it is also the reason why he is determined to find out all the inside stories.

He always felt that there must be a mystery behind this matter, and now the only clue is focused on Lin Shuhui.

"Mrs. Xu?"

Xu Zhi tried to call out, but as expected, Lin Shuhui did not respond. He sighed, raised his hand and pointed his palm towards Lin Shuhui, with a string of Buddhist beads sandwiched between his thumb and palm.

"I hope Madam Xu will forgive me! I must first investigate the condition of Madam Xu's body, fearing that there may be demons causing trouble."

After Xu Zhi finished speaking, he began to chant a mantra, and the Buddhist beads slowly began to emit a yellow light. The light became brighter and brighter.

As the last note of the spell fell, the Buddhist beads formed an elliptical yellow halo, which shot straight into Lin Shuhui's body and began to travel around her body in order to check whether there was any evil magic or secret techniques.

After checking around, Xu Zhi found nothing and felt confused.

According to Lin Shuhui's abnormal state and past experience, she should have been framed by the demons or cursed. But now the examination results showed nothing, her body was functioning normally, she was just an ordinary person.

Xu Zhi concentrated his mind and manipulated his spiritual energy to search the other person's body carefully. Finally, he had to admit that he was overthinking it. Lin Shuhui was not affected by the evil spirit or spell.

But in this way, all her actions seem even more bizarre.

Xu Zhi bowed respectfully to Lin Shuhui.

"Madam Xu, I am a disciple of Wuliang Sect. If you have any unspeakable secrets, I can take you to Wuliang Sect. Wuliang Sect will then help you get justice and ensure your safety."

The response he received was the usual silence.
