Genshin Impact: I, the Winter Prince, reign supreme.

The smile at that moment carried a hint of sorrow.

His smile faded, and he continued, "Your Highness, I agree to the cooperation between Minghua Money Shop and Beiguo Bank. In fact, I have been considering cooperating with you for the past few days."

"Minghua Bank is the last local bank in Liyue, carrying the hopes of countless people. It cannot afford to go bankrupt under my watch. If we don't want to be eliminated, we can only change with the times. The Northern Bank's business model is very advanced and fits the future development direction, making it worthy of our bank's cooperation."

Yan Fei asked with a smile, "Lord De'an, are you still willing to give me the bank?"

"That won't do, I want to leave it for my grandson."

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

After finishing up here, Su Yu slowly walked back.

Yan Fei followed.

"Attorney Yanfei, is there anything else?"

"No."

Yan Fei shook her head repeatedly.

"Ah."

Su Yu gave a curt reply and walked forward alone.

"Your Highness."

Yanfei caught up with them again.

The usually quick-witted and eloquent lawyer suddenly became hesitant and timid.

Does a woman's IQ really drop to zero when she's in love?

"I can only use this explanation to explain why Jianqiu's fiancée risked her life to take the blame for him, but I can't use it to answer your question."

"You'll need to find the answer to your question yourself."

Su Yu laughed heartily and strode away.

Yan Fei stood there, stunned.

She is half-human and half-immortal, and cannot fully understand humans.

After pondering for a long time with her head down, she looked up and said to herself, "Your Highness, I will find the answer. But first, I need to verify the truth of this statement."

De'an Gong entrusted her with handling Hua Chu's case, and she will spare no effort to send Jian Qiu to the guillotine.

Meanwhile, Jianqiu's fiancée is an accomplice, and she also has the opportunity to participate in the interrogation face-to-face.

It is not too late.

Yan Fei immediately went to the Qianyan Army's camp.

Inside the prison, Jianqiu's fiancée changed into a prison uniform.

She recognized Yan Fei and said impatiently, "Attorney Yan Fei, I admit that I killed Hua Chu. Please proceed with the trial."

"Pushing someone into the river, causing the victim to drown, constitutes suspected intentional homicide. According to the laws of Liyue, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, the other person interrupted, "I know it's the death penalty; just carry it out according to the law."

Aren't you afraid of dying?

"Jianqiu loves me, and I am willing to die for him."

Jianqiu's fiancée actually had a smile on her face.

At this moment, Yan Fei finally understood what Su Yu meant.

Jianqiu's fiancée has been completely brainwashed.

She's willing to risk her life for what she believes in love; calling her "having zero intelligence" is no exaggeration.

Yan Fei suddenly felt a strong aversion to her and said:

"There's no need to act anymore. Jian Qiu has confessed everything. It was he who pushed Hua Chu into the water, not you!"

Chapter 106 Confession

Jianqiu, of course, did not confess.

He would be sentenced to death if he confessed, and he would never confess, even if you beat him to death.

Yan Fei said that just to get information out of him.

"Hehe, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Jianqiu's fiancée is still pretending to be clueless.

But a hint of panic was clearly visible in his eyes.

"Jianqiu himself confessed that Miss Huachu and Jianqiu had a baby boy, who was later sent to the fisherman's house to be raised. We found the baby boy, and Prince Zhidong personally named him Huayan."

When Yan Fei revealed the baby boy, Jian Qiu's fiancée's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

"Jianqiu, you betrayed me, you lied to me!"

After Yan Fei used a little trick, Jian Qiu's fiancée completely lost trust in him.

Jianqiu swore on his life that he would never confess, even if it meant his death.

But he broke his vow not long after entering prison.

"Jianqiu, why don't you believe me? Why?!"

Once Yan Fei had calmed down a bit, she asked, "It was Jian Qiu who confessed, so you won't be sentenced to death. Aren't you happy?"

"He doesn't believe me anymore, he doesn't love me anymore, what's the point of living?"

Jianqiu clutched her head and wept bitterly.

Yan Fei sighed softly.

It has been proven that women in love can become blinded by love and lose their composure and rationality.

Rather than saying that "women in love have zero IQ," it's more accurate to say that love makes people blind and impulsive.

However, she still didn't understand why people would flock to love, such an "irrational" emotion.

Does one need to experience a romantic relationship to understand what love is?

Prince Zhidong's decision to let her find the answer herself must have meant exactly that.

But she never fell in love with any man.

So dating is simply out of the question for her.

"Hmph, lawyers need calm and meticulous thinking, and love would affect my professionalism. Not dating men and not being in a relationship is actually quite good for me."

Yan Fei offered this words of comfort.

The detective general waited outside the door and listened in on Yan Fei's interrogation of the prisoner the entire time.

“Miss Yanfei, your interrogation skills are in no way inferior to His Highness the Prince.”

"You flatter me, General. How can I compare to Your Highness? How is the situation with Jianqiu?"

Yan Fei looked towards the interrogation room next door.

"Don't even mention it. That guy was incredibly stubborn. No matter what questions our people asked, he only ever answered one thing: the murderer was his fiancée. But you've made a breakthrough here, so things will be much easier from now on."

The detective general thanked her and then took the initiative to ingratiate himself, saying, "Miss Yanfei, you have done our Qianyan Army a great favor. After get off work, may I treat you to dinner? What kind of dishes would you like to eat? I'll order them in advance."

Yan Fei politely declined, saying, "Today isn't a good day. I happen to be treating other people to dinner."

A hint of disappointment flashed in the detective general's eyes, but he forced a smile and asked, "I wonder who has the honor of having dinner with Miss Yanfei?"

"The Prince of Winter".

Yan Fei replied.

Upon hearing this, the detective general's expression changed.

"I just remembered, our Qianyan Army has a meeting tonight. Miss Yanfei, let's make an appointment another time."

Yan Fei watched the detective general's hurried departure and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

……

noon.

The winter mission's residence.

Su Yu sat by the window, flipping through a book called "Liyue Unsolved Case Files".

The book was sent by a commoner from Liyue, who claimed that His Highness the Prince would surely like it, so the Lady of the Hidden Mirror brought it in.

"This book is beautifully packaged and contains detailed and rich records of cases; it is a book from the government."

Su Yu opened the book and said calmly.

"Your Highness, could it have been sent by Ningguang?"

“During the business war, the Liyue Seven Stars are all extremely cautious. Ningguang, as the leader of the Seven Stars, would not send me a gift at such a sensitive time. Presumably, it was sent by that brilliant detective general from the Thousand Rock Army.”

The woman in the mirror said, "It must be because Your Highness was solving a case at Scarlet Cloud Slope this morning that the detective general, who is in charge of Liyue's murder cases, brought over the files of unsolved and strange cases that have been piling up in Liyue for many years, hoping to pique your interest and help you solve them. Sigh, this detective general is really something. Your Highness is so busy every day, and he still has to add to the trouble. I will send the files back now."

"I am somewhat interested in a few of these cases."

The lady in the mirror suggested, "But Your Highness, you need to conserve your energy, get some rest, and focus on the business war plan. The detective general has asked you to solve a case, and I'm worried that this is a trick by Ningguang and the others to distract you."

The Liyue Seven Stars have come up with a variety of tricks, and the Fatui have suffered a lot of losses in Liyue over the past few years.

Su Yu just smiled and shook his head.

"Under the rule of the Geo Archon, Liyue should have been peaceful and tranquil, but so many unsolved cases have occurred, and the murderers have not yet been caught. This should be a stain on Liyue, something that should be kept from us at all costs. However, the Detective General has taken the initiative to send these files to us. It seems that they really cannot solve these cases, which is why they are so eager to seek my help."

"Since it concerns the safety of the people, it's not a problem to spare some energy to help them."

"Oh, as long as it's not Ningguang's scheme."

Su Yu continued to peruse the case files.

On the coffee table in front of him, the tea was steaming.

Before he knew it, Su Yu had been sitting there all afternoon.
