Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 227 226 The Most Reliable Witness

Konate Chen froze in place.

Seeing him like this, Hong Shenghuo suddenly laughed out loud again: "Just a joke, the Water Control Bureau is of course investigating its own case."

But before Konate Chen could question him, Hong Shenghuo changed the subject: "But!"

He looked at the audience and said, "When the Water Control Bureau followed the clues of the Shenwei Cannon case, they eventually discovered that it was actually a serial crime."

"Where were we just now?"

"Oh, silence."

"Everyone, think about it, why did Konate Chen kill Zhao Yingxia and the Lu family's housekeeper?"

In fact, everyone present had the answer in their hearts, but no one spoke up, waiting for Hong Shenghuo to make it public.

Hong Shenghuo smiled slightly: "Because this is also related to another case - the Lu family burglary and murder case."

"Everyone should have heard about it. It all started when Lu Hongxi hired a gunman to assassinate Feng Xiuhu in the street. Feng Xiuhu, in revenge, committed the murder that very night."

"Coincidentally, Konate Chen was also there that night."

Hong Shenghuo pointed at Guard Morgan: "The Water Control Division questioned Guard Morgan and discovered that Konate Chen did in fact deliberately provoke Feng Xiuhu that night, forcing him to kill."

"So Lu Hongxi is most likely innocent, and the real mastermind behind the assassination of Feng Xiuhu was actually Konate Chen."

Konate Chen roared: "You are talking nonsense! This is just your one-sided statement. You have no evidence at all!"

He turned to Valdracho again and said, "Elder! The Water Control Bureau is blatantly framing me!"

Vadracho remained silent with a sullen face.

Instead, it was Yukhu, who had been silent all this time, who spoke.

"Cough, cough, cough."

He had been imprisoned in the temple and suffered greatly. He had just recovered from his injuries, but was still very weak. "Paul was lost in the mist. That day, I brought his body back to the Lu family and had a brief chat with Lu Hongxi... Although Lu Hongxi did express his dissatisfaction with Feng Xiuhu, those were only words uttered in grief and anger. I know him well. Lu Hongxi is not the kind of person who would dare to attack a church priest in a fit of rage."

Yukhu raised his eyes coldly and looked at Konate Chen: "Also, I remember the day the temple came to the Holy Hall to cause trouble for me, they came under the pretext of the Charu Hongxi case. They said that the freezing bullets used by the gunman were bought from the bidding house."

He sneered, "Oh, what a coincidence, it's the Church of Night again."

Hong Shenghuo nodded and said, "That's right. Combined with everything I just said, it can be fully proved that Konate Chen and Old William are in a subordinate relationship. All the crimes committed by Old William were instigated by Konate Chen."

Konate Chen was panic-stricken and realized that things were completely out of his control.

He shouted hurriedly, "No, you're slandering me! I have no reason to instruct Old William to touch Shenwei—er…"

He stopped talking mid-sentence.

Konate Chen suddenly realized that he couldn't explain this matter.

Because the Shenwei cannons targeted the temple, the one who ultimately benefited was the church.

If you insist, he actually has a reason to do so.

Hong Shenghuo looked at him teasingly.

Konate Chen's nerves trembled, and his mind raced as he suddenly found a flaw: "No, wait, this still doesn't make sense!"

He said quickly: "You said that I hired the gunman, but I have no reason to kill Feng Xiuhu. I promoted him and helped him complete the initiation ceremony. Why should I kill him? Everything you said is just speculation!" The contradiction between Feng Xiuhu and him has always existed, but it was first exposed in the fight after Feng Xiuhu became a priest. Before that, no one knew what happened between them except Feng Xiuhu.

Konate Chen tried to find someone to support him. He turned to his seat and said, "Archbishop Toverson, you know I have always valued Feng Xiuhu. We even went to his home together, and I encouraged him back then."

Toverson Zhao looked at Vadlacho next to him, and seeing that Vadlacho didn't respond, he chose not to respond either.

Facing Konate Chen's defense, Hong Shenghuo simply shook his head: "The Water Control Bureau is only responsible for finding out the results. As for why you did this, this is something you will have to explain during the subsequent interrogation."

Konate Chen was overjoyed and pointed over, saying, "Ha! So you don't have any evidence at all, right?"

"evidence?"

Hong Shenghuo stroked his stubble. "So, I do have a witness. He can not only prove that you really wanted to kill Feng Xiuhu, but also prove that you were the one who killed Feng Xiuhu."

Konate Chen was stunned: "What?"

Hong Shenghuo gave a meaningful smile and clapped his hands.

popping.

The door to the hall was pushed open and a figure trotted in.

Everyone looked back.

Wearing the familiar dress, coat and newsboy cap, Feng Xiuhu raised his hands high, trotted around the field excitedly, and high-fived every Divine Guard.

Finally he ran to the front of the stage. Without saying hello to the people in the seats, he went straight to Konate Chen.

Konate Chen was completely frozen in place until he realized that Feng Xiuhu was not slowing down.

Snapped!
Feng Xiuhu jumped up and slapped Konate Chen in the face, laughing wildly: "You didn't expect that!"

Konate Chen covered his face, stared at Feng Xiuhu, his lips trembling.

He was not the only one who felt terrified. The Duchess's wife in the audience also subconsciously clenched her fists.

A warm palm covered her, and the Duke's wife's shoulders trembled.

The gentle voice of the Duke of Daguo came to my ears: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

The Duke's wife forced a smile. "It's nothing, I'm just surprised. I saw him fall from the cliff with my own eyes, and now he's back from the dead. I'm confused for a moment."

Hong Shenghuo was afraid Feng Xiuhu would continue to attack, so he quickly stepped between him and Konate Chen, then said to the audience, "Is there any witness who could be more convincing than the person involved?"

Feng Xiuhu interrupted, raising his hands high: "Everyone, look at me!"

Everyone turned their eyes over.

Feng Xiuhu nodded in satisfaction: "You've all been waiting for me to pee. Now, let's speed up the process and follow my instructions."

After saying that, Feng Xiuhu turned to Konate Chen and counted on his fingers for him: "You hired the gunman, you forced Lu Hongxi to death, you had Old William kill Zhao Yingxia and the Lu family's housekeeper, you ordered Old William to fire the Shenwei cannon, and you pushed me off the cliff... You framed Youkehu, you detained the Owl Man, you killed He Dage, Yuan Lao Da, Diao Haisheng, and Ni Shicai, and you also bought things on Linlang Street without paying, and took the rickshaw without paying. You did all that, right?"

Konate Chen was still in shock after hearing the first half, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "You - what are you talking about?"

"You don't admit it?"

Feng Xiuhu grinned and pointed behind him: "It's okay if you don't admit it. I have another story. Do you want to hear it?"
