Chapter 4 The Truth Revealed
Jia Huan's martial arts skills are terrible.
His knife skills were also terrible.
But even if he's bad, he's still better than that weak scholar Zhou Shunzhi!
So, after a short while, Zhou Shunzhi was knocked unconscious by Jia Huan.
Just to be on the safe side, Jia Huan tied Zhou Shunzhi up with a rope and threw him aside.
Only then did he open the cellar entrance and officially enter the cellar with Lightning.
However, the moment Jia Huan entered the cellar, the scene before him made him pause in surprise.
The cellar contained a large amount of medicinal herbs, as well as many bottles and jars, clearly indicating that this was where Zhou Shunzhi prepared his sleeping potions.
But that's not the key point...
The key point is that next to those bottles and jars, Jia Huan saw a person who looked exactly like Zhou Shunzhi!
"Zhou Shunzhi? No! I clearly knocked Zhou Shunzhi unconscious and tied him up. Who are you?" Jia Huan asked, frowning.
In fact, Jia Huan already had a guess about the identity of the person in front of him at this moment.
Although the man in front of her looked very much like Zhou Shunzhi, a closer look would reveal that there were still slight differences between them.
"You...you're from the government? How is that possible? The government has already searched this courtyard three times already. How could they come again in such a short time?" the man said in surprise.
"I'm asking you a question! Who are you? If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for grabbing you and taking you to the Imperial Guard's prison for a good torture!" Jia Huan said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the man who looked remarkably like Zhou Shunzhi turned deathly pale.
Jia Huan's attire clearly identifies him as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and he could indeed be thrown into the imperial prison and tortured.
Once imprisoned, one is truly left with no one to turn to for help.
Therefore, the man would rather confess and go to an ordinary prison than go to the Imperial Guard's prison!
"I...I am Zhou Nizhi, and I am Zhou Shunzhi's twin brother."
Upon hearing this, Jia Huan smiled.
Just as he had guessed, the two men were indeed twin brothers.
Once it was confirmed that Zhou Shunzhi had a twin brother, all the mysteries of the case could be explained.
"I see! Let me sort this out. The reason Zhou Shunzhi had an alibi in the case of Su Wanniang's murder was because you were working with him, right?" Jia Huan asked with a sneer.
Seeing this, Zhou Nizhi could only sigh helplessly and then nod.
"Yes, my brother sneaked into Su Wan's family home in disguise, drugged and raped her, while I pretended to be my brother, shopping and talking to people in the downtown area."
"That way, people in the downtown area that day can all testify for my brother, proving that he was shopping the whole time, and not that he went to Su Wan's parents' house," Zhou Nizhi said.
Upon hearing this, Jia Huan nodded in satisfaction.
This is consistent with his guess!
"According to you, government officials searched this place three times before, but found nothing. Didn't they bring hunting dogs?"
"Or did you not have the sleeping potion here when they were searching?" Jia Huan continued to ask.
"After the Su Wanniang case, my brother and I stopped making date rape drugs for quite some time to avoid trouble, and all the date rape drugs we made before have been destroyed."
"After the yamen searched us three times and my brother provided an alibi, we thought the heat had died down, so we started making the sleeping potion again. But alas!" Zhou Nizhi said.
Upon hearing this, Jia Huan smiled.
What does it mean to be lucky rather than early?
This case is the most vivid illustration!
"So, you've made quite a few date rape drugs before? It seems you two brothers have drugged and raped far more than just Su Wan Niang; you just happened to run into trouble with Su Wan Niang."
"Yes and no?" Jia Huan continued to ask.
"yes!"
"Very well! Now the truth is out! Are you going to tie your own hands and come with me to the yamen to confess, or should I beat you up, throw you in the imperial prison, torture you, and then you'll tell the truth?"
"I...I don't want to go to the imperial prison. I'll tie my own hands and feet and go to the yamen to confess!"
Jia Huan nodded in satisfaction.
Then he threw the rope to Zhou Nizhi, who cooperated by tying himself up.
Immediately afterwards, Jia Huan took all the sleeping pills and carried Zhou Nizhi out of the cellar.
"Phew! The truth is out. All we have to do now is bring the sleeping pills and these two brothers to the yamen, and the case will be completely closed," Jia Huan said with a sigh of relief.
……
For the next half day, Jia Huan followed the procedures exactly.
After Jia Huan entered the yamen, he first submitted evidence of drugging, and then asked the two Zhou brothers to confess their crimes.
The Zhou brothers knew that there was no use in making excuses now. If they tried to deny it, they would only be sent to the Imperial Guard prison to suffer more severe torture. In the end, they would have to confess.
So they cooperated readily and confessed to all their crimes.
Over the years, the two brothers have drugged and raped more than 30 women, many of whom were repeatedly drugged and raped by them.
The drugs they used were very effective, making the women remember nothing after being drugged and raped, so they couldn't sue them.
However, when Zhou Shun was drugging and raping Su Wanniang, he overdosed on the drug, causing her death. In the end, the two brothers were caught off guard and arrested by Jia Huan.
The truth has come out!
The two Zhou brothers were taken to prison. Jia Huan had completed his mission and could go back to report.
Just as Jia Huan was on his way back to the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters, the system's voice rang out.
[Host has successfully apprehended the criminal, gaining 400 Dark Blue attribute points]
As the system's voice faded, a blue panel appeared in front of Jia Huan.
[Host: Jia Huan]
[Martial Arts Skills Acquired: None]
Overall Strength Rating: Average
[Dark Blue Attribute Points: 400]
"With 400 points in the Dark Blue attribute, I can make myself stronger by allocating them."
"It's a pity that I haven't learned any martial arts yet, so I don't even know where to allocate my skill points."
"It seems that while I'm going back to report for my promotion, I'll also have to ask Zhang Cheng for some martial arts manuals," Jia Huan thought to himself.
With that thought in mind, he quickened his pace and returned to the government office as fast as he could.
……
Nighttime, inside the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) headquarters.
Zhang Cheng and his two strongmen looked at Jia Huan with some surprise.
"I never imagined that this murder case could lead to so many cases of date rape. Jia Huan, you've solved a major case this time!"
"And the speed at which the case was solved was astonishing, taking less than a day. It's truly remarkable!" Zhang Cheng exclaimed.
Previously, Zhang Cheng thought Jia Huan was just a spoiled brat and looked down on him.
But after Jia Huan successfully solved the case, Zhang Cheng admitted that he had misjudged him.
Jia Huan is clearly a talented person!
"It's all thanks to Lord Zhang's excellent teaching!" Jia Huan said with a smile.
