Chapter 126: Resolute Qin Kejian

Half an hour later, at the Northern Dragon Guard.

Sun Shaozong hurried to the door of the Detective Department. He was waiting to go in and talk to Qin Kejian, Lu Jianxing, and the others. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped up the steps, several strong guards stopped him.

"Lord Sun, please stop." Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

The leader of the small official bowed and said, "No one is allowed to enter or leave the Detective Department without Lord Qin's order. Please don't put us in a difficult position."

As Zhou Da has never sent back any news, Sun Shaozong thought it was calm last night, but it seemed not so now.

"Where's Zhou Da?"

Sun Shaozong looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Is he under house arrest in the Detective Department?"

"It’s not considered house arrest."

The small official continued, "Lord Qin just asked Inspector Zhou to cooperate."

"Cooperate?"

Sun Shaozong sneered, "The man who detained my people didn't even give me a heads up. Your Detective Department is really awesome!"

While talking, he lifted his leg and rushed in.

"Your Excellency, stop!"

"Don't put us in a difficult position!"

The gate guard didn't expect Sun Shaozong would rush in without saying a word. Because of his identity, he didn't dare use his weapons, so he had to stretch out his hand to stop him.

However, four people with eight arms were riding on Sun Shaozong, but they seemed like praying mantes. Instead of stopping Sun Shaozong from moving forward, they were forced to go backward!

"My Lord, why are you here?!"

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw Zhou Da coming out of the west wing room. He looked surprised, but he didn't seem to have been abused.

Sun Shaozong shook his shoulders and threw the four Dragon Guards to the east and west. He then frowned and asked, "What happened? Why did Qin Kejian put you under house arrest here?"

"Well..."

Zhou Da looked at the four Dragon Guards for a moment and hesitated. He replied, "Lord Qin went to surround and seize the murderer of Lord Jin. To prevent the news from leaking, he asked me to wait here."

Qin Kejian has found out the real murderer?!

This surprised Sun Shaozong. So far, he has only vaguely guessed the motive of the murderer. He hasn't found any strong evidence, and he didn’t want to be preempted by Qin Kejian.

"So this was the case."

Qin Kejian continued, "Ding Xiu was not a good person at all. He saw his Younger Martial Brother's rise in the Dragon Guard, but he was still wandering in Jianghu. As time passed, he became so angry that he set up a poisonous plan to let his Younger Martial Brother die!"

A reasonable inference!

It even sounds more reliable than the speculation in his heart.

But Sun Shaozong always felt that there was something wrong. He subconsciously asked, "What evidence is there?"

"Evidence?"

Qin Kejian snorted and said, "It's an unforgivable crime that the two of them killed the real Jin Yichuan! As for his case of killing four people, when he is arrested and interrogated for the first time, everything will be revealed by then!"

As expected, just like himself, it was just a deduction without evidence for the time being.

Sun Shaozong could not help thinking about the object of his suspicion.

"Two Lords."

At this time, Shen Lian suddenly said, "That Ding Xiu used a Palace Guards saber. The saber is nearly five feet long. It is good for chopping and is good at piercing, but it is not suitable for stealing..."

"Shen Lian!"

Qin Kejian roared fiercely, stared at Shen Lian coldly, and said, "Are you questioning my speculation?"

Shen Lian was stunned by him, but then straightened up and said to Qin Kejian, "I'm not questioning you, but I don't think we should let go of any doubts!"

"Haha... What a doubt!"

Qin Kejian laughed several times and suddenly said, "Come on, take Shen Lian down!"

A group of strong men from outside immediately rushed in. Clattered out their blades, and they surrounded Shen Lian like a fan.

"Your Honor!"

Seeing this, Lu Jianxing quickly bowed and said, "Although Shen Lian offended you, he did it out of public interest, not intentionally..."

"Out of public interest?"

Qin Kejian sneered, "This time, I set an ambush on all sides. Ding Xiu should have been unable to get away, but he escaped. I didn't know where a mistake had occurred, but someone had leaked it!"

"Shen Lian!"

"Even if my inference is wrong, Ding Xiu is also an Imperial criminal. How dare you protect him privately?!"

As he said this, he saw that Sun Shaozong seemed to want to speak, so he said ahead of him, "Lord Sun, I just suspected that Shen Lian was shielding Ding Xiu and temporarily suspended him from his post pending trial. It's not a direct conviction. According to the rules, I'm afraid it's not your turn to intervene."

After saying that, Sun Shaozong was not given the chance to contradict him, and he raised his voice and said, "Come on, send Lord Sun off!"
