The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 193

[Chapter 193 Evidence Collection]

The matter dates back to this morning.

Song Zijie went to the dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city early in the morning, because he knew that the problem was with the group of homeless people after listening to Tang Chuchu’s narration.

Sure enough, he saw the old man with the little girl that Tang Chuchu mentioned as soon as he arrived, and knew that this would be their breakthrough.

The old man was extremely abrupt compared to other homeless people. He was squatting in the corner alone with his granddaughter. A closer look revealed that he was teaching the child to read!

As soon as Song Zijie approached, the old man raised his head and was very alert. After all, someone came to feed them poison last time!

“Old man, don’t be afraid, we are from the ‘Heaven on Earth’ hot pot restaurant. We just want to ask you something!”

Seeing that the old man was a little nervous, Song Zijie said softly to comfort him.

“I don’t know, we don’t know anything, you go, don’t come again!”

As soon as the old man heard about the hot pot restaurant, he kept waving his hands to let them leave, his expression was very excited.

Seeing this, Song Zijie knew that there must be something wrong with this group of homeless people, and the problem was very big!

But he could tell at a glance that the old man had a conscience. As long as they knew the truth of the matter, there would be room for negotiation, and Lin Tian could still be saved!

“Do you think you can save your life by not saying anything?”

Song Zijie’s expression was a little serious, and his tone was angry. When he frowned, he had an imposing aura without anger.

“Don’t you want to think about yourself? Think about your granddaughter!”

Even if the old man said nothing, the people who ordered them to make trouble behind the scenes would not let them go.

After all, only the dead can’t speak!

“As long as you come out to testify in court, we promise to let you survive safely, and we can also give you a chance to settle down, and even let the child go to school to learn to read!”

Song Zijie made a guarantee and threw out the bait.

Sure enough, the old man paused as soon as he heard it, as if he thought of something.

“Are you telling the truth?”

The old man asked with some doubt. “That’s inevitable. Our young master is the one who was awarded the plaque by the current emperor. Can’t

he

protect a small refugee like you?” Lin Kang said softly. It’s not that he didn’t want to speak loudly, but he didn’t have much strength to speak.

“Do you know how harmful the poppy is? Just look at me. If you don’t point out the real murderer, it will harm more than one or two people!”

Lin Kang coughed a few times as he spoke, as if he had used up all his strength. Fortunately, Song Zijie supported him, otherwise he would have fallen down!

“My young master is so good. He has always provided food and clothes to you refugees. Otherwise, who do you think will care about you!”

Lin Kang took a break and continued.

“Such a good young master, if you don’t show up, I don’t know if you will be beheaded…”

Lin Tian knew that there were refugees in the city a long time ago, so he had people secretly send them food and clothes. Others didn’t know these things, but Lin Kang knew!

These refugees were homeless and no one wanted them to work. If no one had helped them, they would have died long ago!

Now that they know that the one who saved them was none other than Lin Tian, whom they framed, they immediately felt very regretful.

“If we knew that Master Lin was our savior, we would not frame him even if we were poisoned to death!”

The old man suddenly burst into tears, and the little girl in his arms comforted her grandfather sensibly while she couldn’t help crying.

“You still have a chance to make amends now, that is, go to court with us to testify and prove that you were threatened.”

Song Zijie breathed a sigh of relief and said.

“As long as you testify in court, we will keep you safe!”

Lin Kang also promised.

“Okay, I’m willing to testify, but them?”

The old man agreed, and took a look at the group of homeless people inside, worried that they would do something bad.

“Just a bunch of scum, they can’t make any noise!”

Song Zijie whispered, he had already brought people to watch over the group of people to prevent them from doing anything bad.

Some of the homeless people were young and middle-aged, but they all had nothing to do, and they did these crazy things for money.

“Yes, they are all heartless people. We shouldn’t have taken them to escape. We should have let them die!”

The old man also said viciously. They were able to escape under the leadership of the old man, otherwise they would not know how they would die!

They were also ungrateful and kept bullying them and not giving them enough food.

“Let’s go, we still have to meet up with Lei Ting and Lei Dian!”

Song Zijie said and helped Lin Kang out.

The little girl was also smart. With just a glance from her grandfather, she knew to run over and help Lin Kang.

Lei Ting and Lei Dian went to find the person who poisoned that day.

Song Zijie told them to go to the Qinglou Restaurant and find those people wearing yamen uniforms and staying overnight in Qinglou.

The salary of the yamen runners is very low. If it is not unexpected wealth, they will not have money to drink wine.

Song Zijie concluded that they would definitely get hush money for poisoning, and then they would have money, so they could naturally go to places that they could not go to on weekdays.

There are many Qinglou in the capital, but the two were lucky and found two of them, but they also spent a lot of money to ask questions.

The two yamen runners were sleeping soundly in two rooms respectively, and there was a disheveled woman lying next to them. It was obvious that they had been through a big fight.

The two men were suddenly awakened and found a knife on their necks. The woman lying next to them had been scared and huddled in the corner.

“Who are you? Do you know that I am an official!?”

The yamen runner said angrily, but it was obvious that he was a little weak.

After all, after a night of making love, waking up early in the morning with a knife on his neck, anyone would be exhausted.

“Of course we are here to save you!” Lei Ting said.

But this sentence was not very convincing, after all, he still put a knife on someone’s neck!

“Your accomplice has confessed that you are the one who poisoned!”

The man heard it but did not believe it immediately, thinking that it must be a trap.

Lei Ting then took out a confession paper with a seal on it and showed it to him. The man saw that it was signed with the name of his companion, with a red fingerprint and an official seal next to it.

“I knew that boy was unreliable. He must have been defeated by a woman. It’s really unlucky!”

The man said angrily.

“My lord, I didn’t do that. It was that boy who asked me to do it. I am innocent!” “

Then do you confess or not? Are you willing to identify him? If you are willing, you can give him a lighter sentence!”

Lei Ting said. This was the method Song Zijie taught them.

When the man heard it, he shouted at Lei Ting.

“I am willing. I will definitely point out the boy’s crime!”
