As far as I know, this Chen Nian is a coward who fears death. He is a coward with a weak personality. So, I would like to ask the Prefect … but you actually say that such a person is a genius?" Then, what do you regret? Is he weak?

Li Ruo smiled. The simple sentence she had spoken would make a lot of sense. Xuanyuan Mo had long since experienced this, but such an outstanding woman was actually his wife. Just thinking about it was a very happy thing.

"Second, you said earlier that it was because you cherished your talent that you could bear to part with him. However, I clearly remember what Chen Huai said. What he heard was that if it wasn't for his younger brother, the two of you would not have separated at all.

Without waiting for their reply, Li Ruo smiled and said.

"There doesn't seem to be much difference between these two sentences, but the meaning is very different!"

If not for his words, how come you heard that it was a kind of resentment? It would be even better if you died, and that is how much you hate Chen Nian, so, there is only one explanation, and that is that Chen Nian knew of your secret and used it to threaten you, so you had no choice but to agree!

I've been to your original place and learned about your character and your cousin's situation. Although those people from back then have already been dealt with, there will still be some omissions from so many people. It is said that your position of Prefect … It is because you have saved a person of esteemed status, that is why you are able to stand firm in this place with the full assistance of that person! "

What Li Ruo didn't say was that she was actually the one who had compiled the information about that noble.

Her words were true and false, and that person handled it very cleanly. Indeed, there was no evidence, so the person she said she found was also nowhere to be found. The reason she said she saved him was only to test the government.

However, the prefect's expression told her that her wild guesses were somewhat correct. And so, Liru continued.

"Your younger cousin is one of the few people who knows about this. You were worried that he would leak your secret, so you plotted to kill him. From my judgement, although you are a little smart, you are definitely a very careless person.

Hearing this. The Prefect's expression changed several times, but because Liruo's words weren't particularly clear, he couldn't judge if Liru knew everything or not. And then, he chose to remain silent.

That person had taught him that when faced with something he could not face, he would choose to remain silent. Because he said too much, he would be at fault.

Wasn't that just now the best example? Because he was in a hurry to get rid of the problem, he actually gave evidence that could be analyzed by Liru.

"Perhaps he told you that in this world, only the dead can keep secrets, so even though you can't bear to part with your only family, you still kill him. After that is Chen Nian."

"After three years, he was the second person to discover your secret, but clearly, Chen Nian wasn't smart enough. He should have calmly buried this matter in his stomach, but he insisted on exposing it, and even threatened you with it. Of course, I can't say that he was too impulsive. For the sake of risk taking, even though you are reckless, you are still a brave man! "

"…" The Prefect grew more and more afraid. Because Liru was saying more and more things, he was already unable to stand steadily. Thus, he retreated to the corner of the wall and leaned against the ice-cold wall behind him.

However, the ice-cold wall only made his heart feel even more despair. He was still afraid.

No, don't be afraid, you can't say it. That person said, as long as he doesn't tell the truth, then he will definitely come to save him, he definitely won't go back on his word, right?

"What? Are you afraid now?" "I haven't said butler yet!"

"I think, other than your younger cousin and your current five-year-old child and the young lady who has never given her a title, the butler should be the only person in this world who still has feelings for you, right? "I heard from the housekeeper, that when you and your cousin almost starved to death on the street corner, the butler saved you. Furthermore, because the butler was young and had never shown up, the two of you were even regarded as your own sons!"

The Prefect's face turned pale, and he bit his lips without saying a word. However, the sweat on his forehead and the regret in his eyes betrayed him completely!

"It feels good to kill your loved ones one by one, doesn't it?" Li Ruo walked step by step towards the Prefect, but he had nowhere to retreat to.

He fell to the ground and buried his head between his knees, too sick to speak. These were the scars in his heart, not deliberately mentioned, not thought of, not said, so that he would not feel uncomfortable, but whenever he mentioned it, it would be like a kind of slow motion, slow motion, slow motion in his heart, slow motion in his blood, every part of his body, slow motion.

He felt pain all over his body, not only in his body, but also in his heart.

What Liruo said made him feel good about killing his loved ones one by one. It had already destroyed his last bit of rationality.

"You must remember, at any time, do not speak carelessly. I will be here!"

"When you think of those family members who died because of you, don't you feel sad!" His head was about to explode. He couldn't make a choice, it was hard to make a choice, he didn't know what to do, should he listen to that person and continue to keep the secret, then wait for the right time to escape, or listen to Li Ruo and atone for his mistakes, or at worst, go to the Dark Underworld to accompany his cousin and the butler?

But what about the Eldest Miss and her children? His children were still so young, his eldest daughter was still so beautiful, and most importantly, without him, what should they do?

But, shouldn't we bear the consequences of doing something wrong?

What should he do? What should he do?

Ah!" The Prefect's entire body had collapsed. He was clutching his head and rolling around on the ground, looking like a madman.

"Take good care of him!" Knowing that they could no longer force him, Xuanyuan Mo gave a command and left with Liru, followed by the rest of the crowd.

The coroner had been found, but he was still blind. Any case that passed through his hands would be a case of injustice. Moreover, the murderer's identity was very obvious. However, the autopsy results were inconceivable.

However, he was just a lackey who did things with money. He couldn't play any crucial role at all.

With a wave of his hand, Xuanyuan Mo threw him into the cells for temporary detention.

"Ruo Ruo, how do you know there's someone above him?" Taking advantage of the break, Xuanyuan Mo finally spoke up.

Cheng Ziheng was also extremely curious. Hearing Xuanyuan Mo's words, the few of them gathered around.

"I've checked every crime scene and dealt with them cleanly!"

"Even though the Prefect is a little smart, he is still a careless person. From the looks of the crime scene, that isn't something that someone like him can do!"

"After that, I made a simple analysis based on his expression and the evidence that we now have. Just now, I purposely said something to provoke him, but what I said was basically the same!"

"Then, in your opinion, who could the person behind him be? And for what reason, he even schemed to kill his own family. And what did you say before? What is the secret between them? "

"That's the problem I'm still thinking about!" Liruo picked up the file she had just put down. There were problems with all of this, but she didn't know what exactly was going on between the two of them.

"Have you found the first person who found the body?"

"We've found them all!" Cheng Ziheng nodded and hesitated.

"Why?" Liruo's voice was calm. If this matter was still handled by the people behind the Prefecture Lord, then something else would definitely happen. This was something that she had thought of a long time ago, so she did not have much hope.

"The first person died ten years ago, and the second one is the same. As for the third person, he has already gone mad. This subordinate has tried to test him and found out if he was truly crazy. He has already been brought back. Does Madam want to see him?"

"No need!" If he refused directly, he would only be testing his luck by saying that he wanted to search for this clue. Now that it was proven useless, there was no need to waste any more time.

"Then, Madam, if the Prefect is unwilling to say anything, does this mean that our case has reached a stalemate again?"

"Will not... "What he will say is only a matter of time. Today, he has stimulated himself enough, but he cannot endure it any longer, so he will definitely say it." Liruo fell into deep thought. "I remember Chen Huai mentioning that those criminals in the cell were all replaced by good people!" At that time, he hadn't listened carefully and had only thought that the Prefect was doing it on purpose. Now that he thought about it, this was actually the biggest problem.

"That's right!" Xuanyuan Mo nodded.

Li Ruo lowered his head and quickly flipped through the documents in his hands, discovering that they were all very small cases, "Cheng Ziheng, immediately go investigate the case file that the former Prefect sentenced to a severe punishment or death, as well as the reason for the previous Prefect's replacement and the current situation!"

"Yes sir!"

"You suspect …" Xuanyuan Mo's brows tightened, as if he had already guessed the meaning of Li Ru's words.

"That's right, I'm worried that a lot of people will be involved in this!" Liru nodded and continued, "If it turns out that the former prefectural prison for felons had been replaced by the present prefecture overseer, then where are those felons now?"

"Those who have their heads chopped off are commoners or good people. If the current Prefect uses these kinds of false propaganda, it will definitely arouse the displeasure and rebellion of the commoners. If the matter were to be exposed …" The consequences will definitely be unimaginable! "
