Chapter 229: "Soft Spot"

Dog sat in the morgue courtyard, completely still, muttering something in his mouth.
The coroner entered the morgue.
Zhu Ge and Zhui Feng also followed.
The coroner examined the body and said, "The deceased is a young woman in her early twenties. She was killed by a single blow that shattered her skull. There are clear signs of being suffocated around the mouth, and there are bloodstains on her teeth, indicating that she struggled with the killer before her death. The killer may have been bitten by the victim, which enraged him to attack with extreme force. Additionally, the victim was sexually assaulted after death. This killer is extremely twisted. It is unlikely to be a crime of passion or a robbery, as the victim still had money left on her. It is highly possible that this was a crime driven by lust."
Zhuifeng said, "A single palm can kill someone. This person's strength is not ordinary, which indicates that they have martial arts skills or impressive physical strength."
Wuzuo said, "Yes, the fact that the strike shattered without any cracks indicates that it was done by a master."
Xiao Zhuge said, "That is to say, it can be concluded that it is driven by lust."
Wuzuo said, "It's pretty much the same."
Chase Wind stepped forward and touched the dead man's head, there were five fingerprints that could still be felt. Such large and thick fingerprints, it can be deduced that this person is fat.
Wuzuo is watching the child, and as soon as he opens it, he frowns. The killer is too cruel. The child must have died before, otherwise the crying would have alarmed nearby villagers.
The child is so badly injured, and the killer is still committing the crime, indicating that this person is extremely ruthless.
Xiao Zhuge also sighed.
Gouzi also calmed down at this moment and said, "It's all my fault for ruining the clothes and not listening to my wife. Why did I keep him at home? If I had kicked him out earlier, Xiuer wouldn't have gone back to her parents' house." After speaking, he stood up and rushed outside.
屋里人听到。
Zhuifeng said: "Hurry up and follow."
Xiao Zhuge and several officials followed.
Gouzi flew back home and came to the Black Bear's house. He pulled him off the kang and said, "It's all because of you that my wife was harmed."
The black dog bear thought he knew, said: "What's the matter with you, a girl? I am the vice hall master."
The dog dragged him to the ground, saw the teeth marks on the black dog bear's shoulder, and heard what he had just said, and confirmed that he had killed his daughter-in-law. He said, "Why did you kill them even though I treated you like this?"
The black bear also felt a little guilty and said, "I was planning to kill them, but who knew those women wouldn't cooperate? It was a mistake on my part."
Upon hearing this, the dog was furious and said, "I will fight you!" He then stepped forward and started fighting with the black bear.
The black bear cub pushed the dog aside and said angrily, "What are the rules in our guild? It is not allowed to go against the hierarchy. Dare you hit me."
The dog replied resentfully, "Nonsense rules! Only you can get away with things, but we can't even light a lamp. Give me back my clothes and child." After saying that, the dog pounced on the bear cub again.
The black bear kicked, without looking at where.
"Ouch!" The dog jumped over a yard high, struggling for a few moments while holding its lower body, and then fell to the ground dead.
The black bear looked and spat out, saying, "Serves you right for starting a fight with me."
Can't stay here, hurry up and leave. Just arrived in the courtyard and ran into the officials.
Little Zhuge took a look and realized that the situation is not favorable.
Someone recognized Black Dog Bear and said, "He is Black Dog Bear, the deputy hall master of Loyalty and Righteousness Hall."
Little Zhuge laughed and said, "What a great harvest today, catching you is like finding Wang Mazi."
Someone rushed into the house and exclaimed, "That person is already dead."
Little Zhuge said, "Black Bear, will you surrender or suffer some flesh wounds?"
The black bear pridefully thinks he has great strength and that ordinary people cannot come near him. He says, "Those who know better should quickly step aside, or I'll make you all die."
Little Zhuge smiles and says, "Go ahead."
The official rushed up.
The black bear really has some skills. He swung his hand and several people couldn't get close.
Little Zhuge saw why they couldn't catch him. Several people couldn't even catch one hand. He drew his sword and approached, with the sword already placed on the neck, saying, "If you move, I'll chop off your head."
The black bear was so scared that it dared not move.
The officer brought a rope and tied the black bear, fearing that it might escape, he added another rope.
Xiao Zhuge put the sword back in the warehouse and said, "Take it away."
The black dog bear still jumped around.
The official took the stick in his hand and fiercely hit the back of the black dog bear.
The black dog bear snarled and glared at the person with a fierce look.
The coffin hit him on the head with a stick, using half of its strength, and blood immediately flowed down. He said, "If you don't behave, I'll cripple you."
The black bear no longer dares to misbehave. Someone put a bag over its head and it was recognized on the road, escorted all the way to the yamen.
Arrived at an interrogation room.
追风坐在正堂，知府坐在下手。
官差把黑狗熊押上来，用脚一踢膝盖跪倒在地。
黑狗熊不服气，想搞清他们二人到底是谁。
The prefect slapped the table in astonishment and said, "Who is kneeling below?"
The black bear said, "If you already know, why bother asking."
The prefect's face darkened and said, "Honesty is the best policy."
The black bear coldly said, "What honesty? If you want to kill, then kill. I've already killed so many people, I've already made enough profit."
Magistrate: "Did you kill that woman and child?"
Black Bear: "Yes, I killed them. When that dog came looking for a fight, I killed him too." Now he only seeks death, living a little longer will only bring him more suffering.
The evildoer knew he couldn't survive once he arrived at the yamen, so he might as well go out with a bang.
The magistrate asked again, "Where is Wang Mazzi now?"
The Black Bear replied, "How would I know? He ran away faster than a rabbit, and I have no idea where he's hiding."
The magistrate asked, "Where was your previous contact point?"
The Black Bear replied, "Wasn't it burned down by you? You also didn't stop meddling in our affairs, did you?"
The magistrate said, "Then how many of you are there?"
Black Bear said: "There are many in Pingyang City, just missing you. If you want to join, I can introduce you."
The magistrate slapped the table and said: "How daring! If you don't cooperate, you will face severe punishment."
The official brought torture instruments, first beating with a stick until the person's flesh was mangled.
The magistrate asked, "Will you confess?"
The Black Bear, panting heavily from the torment, said, "I really don't know where Wang Mazzi is now."
The magistrate asked, "How many people do you govern and where do they live?"
The black bear thought to himself, "I can't say, if I do, I'll die. It's better to leave others a way out. If I say how many people there are, at least they have followed me for a while."
The official yelled, "Speak."
The black bear said, "I won't say anything. You might as well kill me now. I can't take it anymore."
The magistrate said, "As the deputy hall master, you don't say anything at all. It seems like you want to experience our torture. Guards, come."
Upon seeing that the civil officials were even more brutal than the military officials, Xiaozhuge realized that he couldn't keep fighting anymore. If he continued, he would die. He said, "Master Prefect, I think we should stop here for today. Let's continue the trial tomorrow."
The magistrate, seeing that Little Zhuge spoke so confidently, didn't dare to continue with the trial. He quickly stood up and said, "I'll listen to you."
Not knowing the true identity of the two, including why even the magistrate treated them with such respect, Heigouxiong asked, "I want to know what you two do. With such impressive skills, whose side are you on?"
Little Zhuge smiled and said, "We are the emperor's people."
Black Bear was taken aback and said, "Could it be that you are Chasing Wind, a Little Zhuge?"
Little Zhuge sighed and said, "If we can bring him down, it wouldn't be unjust even if he died in our hands."
The black bear's mouth twitched, admiringly, and he admitted defeat in their fight, saying, "Even if I die this time, I won't feel unjust."
Xiao Zhuge said, "As long as you speak up, I will consider leaving your whole body intact."
The black bear sneered coldly, saying, "A piece of rotten meat, who knows what died. Well, let's see how we're going to deal with it."
Little Zhuge smiled and said, "You have guts. It seems that I won't have any effect on you if I don't teach you a lesson. Take the person down first, give him some medicine, and make sure he doesn't die."
The officer dragged the black bear down.
The prefect said, "This kind of person won't confess without a beating."
Xiao Zhuge said, "Alright, you can also leave."
The prefect bowed and left.
Zhui Feng returned to his own room.
Xiao Zhuge said, "It seems that being aggressive doesn't work, this kind of person doesn't respond to force."
Zhui Feng agreed, saying, "I think so too."
Xiao Zhuge's eyes lit up and he said, "I will handle it."
Zhui Feng trusted his ability to get things done and said, "I'll leave this matter to you."
Xiao Zhuge said, "Rest early, I'm leaving." After speaking, he walked out and closed the door.
The next day came.
No mention of interrogating the Black Bear.
The magistrate dared not inquire either.
The black bear in prison is well-fed and well-treated, and someone even gives him medicine.
The black bear knows that this is the treatment before death, but he doesn't think too much about it. He just eats and drinks if there's any.
On the third day.
Two officials led an old woman into the yamen.
Xiao Zhuge said after looking, "Auntie, this time we brought you here not for other matters, it is about your son Blackie."
The elderly person became a little frightened when he heard someone mention his son and quickly said, "Has he caused trouble again? This child really never gives me peace of mind."
Little Zhuge said, "This time it's not as simple as causing trouble. He has committed murder and arson, and even joined the rebellious and unprincipled 'Loyal and Righteous Hall'."
The old woman was shocked and said, "How is it possible? How could he join Loyalty Hall? I don't believe it."
Little Zhuge said, "Grandma, it's true, he is in jail. As long as you persuade him to confess, the officials will consider a lighter punishment."
The elderly person walked cautiously and anxiously said, "Alright, I will persuade him. He listens to me. Where is he?"
Little Zhuge brought the elderly person to the prison cell, and someone opened the prison doors one by one.
Xiao Zhuge arrived in front of a prison gate and said, "Black Bear Dog, look who has come to see you."
Black Bear Dog, with his eyes sealed shut, looked through a crack and was shocked. He struggled to get up and held onto the prison gate, saying, "Mother, why have you come?"
The old man didn't recognize him at first, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was his son. His entire body was covered in blood, and he had two large bumps on his head. He asked, "What happened? Who did this to you?"
The black bear said, "Mother, it's all because of your son's filial piety. I can no longer take care of you. Just pretend that you don't have a son."
The old woman cried, "Son, your mother only has you as her son. You are causing so much worry. It's all my fault for not raising you properly. It's my fault, my fault!"
