Chapter 94 Zhou Lesheng

Led by the bailiffs, Fu Qingzhou walked into the Wanshi Town prison.

Now he has lost trust in County Magistrate Chen.

Zhou Lesheng was captured by the casino owner Gu Zhengqing. County Magistrate Chen immediately sentenced him to death, which seemed to indicate that he was impatient. Could it be that they were related to the murderer?
But it's strange no matter how you think about it. If County Magistrate Chen was related to the real murderer, why would he run to the charity cemetery in the middle of the night to try to find more evidence?

From this point of view, he really wants to find out the murderer.

"interesting."

Fu Qingzhou murmured, "I thought it was a simple serial murder case, but now it seems there are more hidden secrets... I can be a knight and investigate the case. It turns out that there are benefits to going down the mountain. If this case can be solved, Yi Ran Jue's practice will definitely surpass Qi Ran Jue."

Deep inside the prison, lights flickered, and there were only a few dazed, half-awake, half-asleep jailers.

One of the jailers opened Zhou Lesheng's cell door for Fu Qingzhou with his eyes dazed, then left yawning.

Anyway, they are all sent by the county magistrate...there is nothing to worry about.

The cell door creaked open, but there was no movement from Zhou Lesheng, who had been sentenced to death.

He was not asleep, but just slumped against the wall, his eyes dull and his face expressionless, exactly the same as he had been in the court during the day, as if someone had sucked out his soul.

Fu Qingzhou squatted in front of him and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Zhou Lesheng raised his eyes slightly, looked at him blankly, and then lowered his eyes again.

“It turns out there is still a soul.”

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "You were wrongly accused of murder. Don't you feel wronged?"

Zhou Lesheng did not answer, just stared blankly at the ground.

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

Should I endure the dizziness and use the Soul Summoning Technique again? It's not impossible, but this person seems to be resisting all communication at this time. Can the Soul Summoning Technique really work?
After thinking for a moment, he decided to have a brief chat first.

"You also heard your old mother crying in court today."

He said slowly: "If you are going to die, your mother will probably have a hard time surviving alone. If you are wronged, you should speak out. Otherwise, will you be willing to kill your own family members?"

This sentence had some effect. Zhou Lesheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him again, and a hint of sneer appeared on his face covered with dried blood.

"Injustice?"

His voice sounded like it had been cut by a knife: "I say I am innocent, does anyone believe me?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Of course, I am here to overturn the case for you."

Zhou Lesheng did not show any joy, but asked in a hoarse voice: "Who are you?"

"Don't worry about that." Fu Qingzhou looked directly into the other person's eyes and said, "You just need to know that if you are really not the murderer, then you should cooperate with me and I will definitely help you get out of prison."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhou Lesheng sneered with disdain, then lowered his head again and stopped talking.

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.

"Hahahahaha!"

The voice of the smoker rang in his ears: "Pretend! Keep pretending! You can even make up an identity to fool him? And you still say 'all you need to know', it's so funny!"

Fu Qingzhou did not ignore it this time. Instead, he pursed his lips and asked, "Is there any magic that can make him tell the truth?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid you won't dare to use it~"

The smoker laughed dryly and said, "This person is obviously very defensive. You are only at the second level of spiritual awareness, so ordinary spells will not work on you. You need to use spells and talismans to investigate his spirit. But after you ask him, I'm afraid he will become a fool."

Fu Qing shook his head: "Forget it then."

At this moment, he suddenly missed the poison that could make people vomit truth from the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain more than two years ago...

I really don't know how it was made. If I have the chance to go back to Wandu Mountain, I must get some formula. After a brief exchange, he began to look at Zhou Lesheng in front of him.

This person's reaction was also unusual. A normal person who was wrongly accused of murder would not be so calm, even if he confessed under torture... Even if he knew that there was no possibility of overturning the verdict, he would still have some reaction when he heard that someone wanted to redress his injustice.

But Zhou Lesheng looked resigned to his fate, and even though he knew his family was about to be broken up, he didn't care.

Isn't this abnormal? Is he taking the blame for someone else?
This guy used to be a casino thug. In order to collect debts, he beat people, threw feces on them, and forced women into prostitution. This kind of person is extremely selfish and snobbish, and he doesn't look like a loyal and righteous person.

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and approached: "Are you really Zhou Lesheng?"

Zhou Lesheng was motionless, and apart from still breathing, he looked almost dead.

Fu Qingzhou sighed and finally decided to use the Soul Capture Technique.

He simply reached out and pinched Zhou Lesheng's cheek, forcing him to raise his head and look at him.

There was a flash of strange color between Zhou Lesheng's pupils, and his expression changed slightly.

"Trust me, I can redress your injustice."

Fu Qingzhou endured the severe dizziness and spoke softly.

He did not force the other party to reveal the inside story right away, as this would easily make the other party resist and thus cause the spell to fail.

But if you start from the other person's perspective and make them believe something that is beneficial to them, this spell will be very effective.

Sure enough, Zhou Lesheng was affected, and his expression finally showed some emotion: "You, can you really help me?"

"can."

Fu Qingzhou took a deep breath and said, "But you have to tell me first, why do you think others can't help you?"

Zhou Lesheng looked struggling and wanted to say something but stopped himself several times, looking very painful.

Fu Qingzhou wanted to use the Soul-Catching Spell again, but at this time he was already feeling dizzy and had stars in front of his eyes. If he used it again, he would probably faint on the spot, so he had to give up.

Fortunately, after a moment of silence, Zhou Lesheng finally spoke.

"He, they will all die..."

He actually revealed an extremely terrified look, and seemed to be shaking non-stop because of saying these words: "My mother, my brother, and my newborn baby... will all die..."

Fu Qingzhou's eyes lit up: "Someone is threatening you with the lives of your entire family?!"

Zhou Lesheng slowly hugged his head and buried it between his knees.

Given his current condition, I’m afraid I can’t ask him anymore.

But at least Fu Qingzhou knew one thing, that the murderer was indeed someone else, and he also threatened Zhou Lesheng and forced him to take the blame!

More importantly, could it be that the reason why County Magistrate Chen didn't want to tell the truth is the same as Zhou Lesheng's?
Did that confession, which was nowhere to be found, record something that County Magistrate Chen dared not make public?
But Fu Qingzhou had no intention of looking for the confession now, and it might even have been destroyed.

The place he was going to was the casino.

The casino owner Gu Zhengqing must have a close connection with this case!

Zhou Lesheng was shivering in the corner, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get anything out of him in a short time. Fu Qingzhou left the prison and walked back to the inn.

It's too late tonight, and I'm feeling dizzy now, so it's not suitable for me to go to the casino right away.

There was no one on the streets of Wanshi Town late at night. Only Fu Qingzhou was walking slowly on the huge street.

A spring thunder exploded, and spring rain fell, and he also quickened his pace.

After walking only a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back sideways.

Not far behind him, a black shadow came through the rain, with the wind from its palm blowing in his face, blowing away the raindrops, and rushed straight towards Fu Qingzhou!
