Duan Li nodded. "Mm."

Qi Sizhi was somewhat afraid of heights, so he carefully held onto the sloping beam beside him to prevent himself from falling.

"Miss Xiao, what are you doing? You can just say what's on your mind. Why come to a place like this?" he said tremblingly.

Xiao Ran finally stopped tapping the tiles.

She said, "I won't beat around the bush with you. Qi Sizhi should know who I dislike, right?"

Qi Sizhi's mind raced, and Jiang Shaorong's hypocritical face gradually came to mind.

"I know! Of course I know! I also hate that hypocritical person's appearance the most."

Xiao Ran smiled, then leaned closer to him and asked, "Since he's so hypocritical, according to the rules of the Dali Temple, what does the Director think is the best way to deal with him?"

"Naturally, he was flogged countless times, then subjected to slow slicing, and finally executed..."

Xiao Ran was very satisfied. "Qi Sizhi is quite sensible."

"Now, I still need to see Zeng Jitian. I wonder if it would be convenient for you, Chief Inspector Qi?"

Qi Si looked down, a cold wind blowing in, and he shivered, unsure whether it was from the cold or fear.

Can he say no? Does he dare to say no...?

“Convenient! Miss Xiao’s instructions are certainly convenient.”

……

In prison, Xiao Ran disguised herself again before entering.

She first went to visit Master Qi on the right side, for no other reason than—

She saw Jiang Shaorong standing there again at the far left.

He is truly dedicated to his duty.

As Xiao Ran walked, she cursed, "You're a persistent ghost."

This was overheard by Master Qi.

"Ran girl? You're here..." Master Qi smiled. "How angry are you? I heard you cursing even before you got close."

"nothing."

Xiao Ran turned her gaze over and asked, "How have you been these days, sir? Please don't blame me for being late."

Master Qi smiled and shook his head. "Ever since Ran left, they've been treating me a bit more normally; at least they don't go hungry anymore."

"Okay, that's good." Xiao Ran replied.

It was obvious that her heart wasn't in the relationship.

Master Qi touched his nose and asked, "I heard today that the Dirty Street case has been closed... Ran girl, do you know who the murderer is?"

At this point, Xiao Ran's eyes seemed to hold resentment as she recounted the events that had occurred on Dirty Street to Master Qi.

"That corrupt official is truly inhuman!"

Master Qi seemed to be enraged and slammed the iron chains binding his hands onto the ground.

“Yes.” Xiao Ran looked towards Jiang Shaorong.

Because while she was speaking, she saw someone go over to Jiang Shaorong and say something to him.

Then, Jiang Shaorong seemed to hesitate.

The person who spoke was still waiting for his decision.

"Zhang Shi..." Master Qi raised his eyes again and asked, "Have you reunited with her son?"

Xiao Ran shook her head.

In fact, Xiao Ran did not tell Master Qi that Zeng Jitian was Zhang's son.

After all, Zeng Jitian's case involved too many things, and then Master Qi made a scene because of his righteous nature.

If the Minister's residence were to find out about Zhang's existence...

I fear that even after Zhang is buried, she will not find peace.

"Is her son still in prison? Who is he? I, Master Qi, will do everything in my power to raise him into a real man for the rest of my life." Master Qi said earnestly to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran shook her head.

“Master Qi, Zhang’s death was too sudden. I don’t know who her son is… and her son is already in prison, so he might not recognize his mother who committed a crime.”

Master Qi was somewhat disappointed. "Fine. It's all that corrupt official Jiang's fault! He killed someone arbitrarily before the matter was even settled. It's truly—"

"A good dog of the imperial court."
