Chapter 41: The Tree of the Director_1

"Who among these more than sixty people do you think is the murderer?"

Two hours later, Jiang Hanyun seemed perplexed as she exited the county Yamen, "The background of those Yayis seems clean and reliable. Could it be one of the prisoners?"

Ma Chenggong rubbed his chin, "Unlikely. Those prisoners appear suspicious, but they're probably used by the real murderer to divert our attention. Those men are all fools; they don't even know who instigated them. I think we should interrogate those Yayis harshly, why not under the threat of wooden clubs? We may find some clues."

"We can't torture dozens of people simultaneously, can we? we must narrow down some targets. They're not criminals, but Yayis with positions, how can this be so casual?"

Jiang Hanyun shot him a look, "How come you're full of bad ideas today? Li Xuan, what do you think of this situation?"
