" Hehe, Have you finally stumped?" Jia Hao's voice made Sun Jing tremble as he fell to his knees.
Sure, Jia Hao can't use an overwhelming amount of desire qi to hypnotize Sun Jing and let him admit his guilt. However, he can be overwhelmed with various questions, with each question laced with a bit amount of fear and guilt from desire qi.
Like moisture slowly condenses into drops and drops condense into torrents, Jia Hao's method slowly sowed seeds of doubts and fear in Sun Jing's mind.
And now, it completely crumbled.
" Hehe, Cui Bang, Sun Jing, I believe you can't sleep at night, do you?" Jia Hao grinned deviously. " You look so pale and withered. Perhaps Mr. Chu is visiting you every night."
" Repent and you might be able to leave. Otherwise, I know quite a lot of cases where hungry ghosts sapped the energy of humans..."
" Sun Jing! Confess your sin! The heaven and netherworld is watching your sin!"
" I DID IT!"
With a plop, Sun Jing fell to his knees, trembling violently. " It was me...I killed them."
" They... Damn it! They are already so old! Why can't they part from their money?"
" I...I only wanted to borrow twenty thousand taels of gold. How could they refuse?"
" So...I...I did it."
The crowd turned silent, the official's eyes turned wide, and even Cai Yunhai couldn't help but clench his fist from excitement.
" Well, Everyone heard the testimony. Therefore, I have nothing else to say." Jia Hao turned around and walked out from the hall.
' As a wise person said, cool guys don't look back at the explosion.'
' Don't look back! Don't look back!'
" Goodness! What have I witnessed?"
" He...He made them confess so easily!"
" What a cunning young man. Is there someone like him among the officials?"
" Hiss! You don't know? He is the son in law of Magistrate Cai!"
" What? Real?"
" Young Lord Jia, Are you inside?"
" What happened?" Jia Hao was confused. " Come in."
" A lady wishes to meet you, Young Lord. She is standing outside of the Cai Family estate."
" She said she is from Phoenix Cloud Pavilion."
Jia Hao was confused for a moment before his expression changed. ' Fuck! How did I forget about her?'
He dashed outside, trying to search for that lady.
" You...You are the attendant of Xu Chenlan, No?" Jia Hao recognized her, looking at her with slight worry.
" Is she alright?"
" Young Master Jia, Lady Xu is currently in the city market. She wonders if the young master is free to give his concubine the chance to meet him?"
" Is that what she said? Or you are just adding some butter?" Jia Hao's lips twitched when he heard that.
" It was something Lady Xu said. I didn't add anything, Young Master." The maid pursed her lips before answering.
" Alright, Lead the way. I shall go and see."
" Very well, Young Master. Please follow me."

Meanwhile, Cai Yixue was in her room, looking at the documents of the shops. At that moment, Minmin came rushing.
" Young Lord...He actually solved the murder case!"
" What?" Cai Yixue couldn't help but ask with a shocked voice.
" I am telling the truth. He made the culprit confess his sin. He acted so fast, like delivering justice like a lightning." Minmin's eyes sparkled.
" And, the way he left...It was so...amazing."
