Chapter 171: The Murderer Who Remembers Nothing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, in fact, after their investigation, the footprints and blood in the courtyard could easily prove that he had killed someone.
Zhu Zongyang was certain that this person was lying and pretending because he wanted to get away with it.
Wei Shilai did not confirm or deny it. He only asked someone to invite Liu Sanniang over. He was not sure if this person was faking it because he did not even remember where he lived.
When Liu Sanniang entered, she saw the murderer. His eyes were filled with fear and he looked around helplessly.
When Wei Shilai saw that Liu Sanniang was here, he stood up and said, “Miss Liu, I’m relieved to see you here.”
Wei Shilai instructed the officer. “Be careful. Don’t let him hurt Miss Liu.”
The man was tied up. When he saw Liu Sanniang coming over, he was a little terrified. “Who, who are you?”
The officer walked over and warned him coldly. “Behave yourself. This is someone invited by the magistrate. Cooperate with her and don’t play any tricks. Otherwise, you’ll suffer.”
The officer drew his sword and smiled at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, don’t worry. With me watching, he won’t dare to do anything.”
Zhu Zongyang snorted. At such a young age, her ability to trick people was indeed impressive. She had made everyone in the government office treat her like a princess.
Liu Sanniang smiled. “Thank you.”
These officials were much older than Liu Sanniang and took care of her like a little girl.
Liu Sanniang sat down opposite the man. He said nervously, “W-What are you going to do?”
Liu Sanniang replied slowly. “My name is Liu Sanniang. I’m a psychic. I can help you.”
The man had lost his memory. He didn’t even know his name, so how could he know what a psychic was? However, Liu Sanniang’s eyes seemed to have magic. When he looked into her eyes, the man calmed down. “Then, will you help me seek justice? I really didn’t kill anyone.”
He didn’t remember anything, but he was sure that he didn’t kill anyone and wouldn’t dare to do so.
Liu Sanniang reached out her hand. “Give me your hand.”
The man stretched out his palm. There was dried blood on his hand. He was afraid just by looking at it, so he closed his eyes and trembled slightly.
To him, it was terrifying to wake up one morning and find that he had become a murderer. He could not remember anything. He could not recall who he was, where his family lived, or whether he had killed anyone.
Liu Sanniang grabbed his wrist and could feel the man resisting her. His spiritual sense was trembling and he was very afraid. Every nerve in his body was tense. He had built a protective wall for himself in an attempt to repel any harm from the outside world.
Liu Sanniang’s strength was as gentle as water. Her calm power gradually relaxed the man, and the uneasy expression on his face gradually disappeared.
Liu Sanniang did not speak but sensed carefully.
At this moment, everyone watched quietly and waited.
Zhu Zongyang was already used to it. He did not think that it was anything special.
To put it nicely, she was doing a ritual. To put it bluntly, she was crossing the line. How could she grab a man’s wrist like this? She was really shameless.
Zhu Zongyang’s attitude made Wei Shilai frown. He looked at Zhu Zongyang and felt that he did not realize how powerful Liu Sanniang was.
With a shake of his head, he continued to watch Liu Sanniang reading the man.
Wei Shilai lowered his voice. “Assistant Zhu, you seem to have misunderstood Miss Liu.”
Zhu Zongyang smiled. “Sir, you’re overthinking. I just don’t think there is something weird about this case.”
Wei Shilai did not say anything. There were some things that he would not understand unless he had experienced it himself, so Wei Shilai didn’t try to convince him.
He wanted Zhu Zongyang to try it himself. It was like a piece of white paper being unfolded bit by bit. There was no privacy or secret. Only after trying it, would he know Liu Sanniang’s ability.
Zhu Zongyang smiled. He thought that Liu Sanniang was going to say something, but she remained silent.
After ten minutes, Liu Sanniang retracted her hand.
The man had already calmed down. He looked at Liu Sanniang anxiously. “Miss, who am I? I didn’t kill anyone, right?”
Liu Sanniang said, “I can’t sense any memories from you at all.”
The man was a little nervous. “What… what does this mean?”
Liu Sanniang said to Wei Shilai, “Sir, take him away first.”
Wei Shilai immediately got someone to take the man away.
The man did not resist. He just turned around and looked at Liu Sanniang, silently asking for help.
After the man was taken away, Liu Sanniang asked him. “Sir, can I go to the scene to take a look? I can see some images and blood. I don’t know what they mean. Perhaps I’ll only know when I go to the scene.”
Wei Shilai immediately became serious. “Alright, we’ll take you there right away.”
Zhu Zongyang frowned. He had never met anyone who was more mysterious than Liu Sanniang.
Wasn’t this a simple case? In order to get away with murder, he pretended to lose all his memories. However, why did the entire government office trust Liu Sanniang so much?
Wei Shilai instructed Zhu Zongyang. “Assistant Zhu, keep an eye on that person and find two strong-willed people to guard him.”
Jiang Bing’s incident had taught Wei Shilai a lesson. Although there were few people like Jiang Bing, he had to be careful. Therefore, now, he not only asked his subordinates to be skilled, but also to have a strong will.
Zhu Zongyang glanced at Liu Sanniang and said unhappily, “Sir, don’t worry.”
Usually, he was the one who analyzed and came up with ideas for major cases. But now, he was almost replaced by Liu Sanniang.
Wei Shilai got someone to inform Chu Yan that they were going to Chaoyang Village. This was what he had agreed with Chu Yan. Before he married Liu Sanniang, he must be informed of any case where Liu Sanniang was involved.
When Liu Sanniang saw Chu Yan, she was frightened by his cold expression at first. However, Chu Yan walked over and smiled at her. “Let’s go.”
Liu Sanniang lowered her head and replied softly. “Okay.”
Ever since Chu Yan became a constable, they met more and more often…
