"Chapter 147: Is it a big deal to say single words? (Second Update)" The Imperial Edict was not the original, but a copy, which didn't mean the edict was fake.
It just showed that the Special Security Bureau had sought temporary instructions from His Majesty the Emperor and obtained the edict.
As for the original, it was simple. They only needed to confirm with His Majesty the Emperor of Beichen Star to know if it was genuine.
The Special Security Bureau wouldn't tell such a huge lie for such a small matter.
Therefore, Yun Nvluo knew that with this Imperial Edict, the Fan Family father and son had no chance to go to court at all.
Letting them destroy themselves from this angle was, of course, much better than having Quan Caiwei come forward to accuse them.
Indeed, as the Fan Family father and son had said, even if their Quan Family won the lawsuit, Quan Caiwei's life would probably be ruined.
Good families would no longer be willing to marry her, and those who were willing to marry her would only be clinging to the Quan Family's status, but would still despise her at heart.
She was originally an enviable and high-ranking Noble Lady, but from then on, she would be cast down into the mortal world.
This was also a heavy slap in the face to the Quan Family.
Even if Quan Yuxun was generous, he would probably be dissatisfied with her because of this.
Yun Nvluo sighed and accepted Huo Yushen's favor with a smile.
She handed the copy of the Imperial Edict back to Jiang Yuanshu and said, "Since it is an action by the Audit and Discipline Department of the Special Security Bureau, according to the law, they have priority. We will no longer pursue the matter, Inspector Jiang, please."
Jiang Yuanshu glanced at it and said, "Take Fan Bowei and Fan Chengqi away. Where is Fan Chengcai?"
Yun Nvluo pointed to the headless male corpse on the ground that had just been cut open and stitched up, and said, "He's right there. Last night, he broke into a private residence and attempted to harm innocent people. He was killed by my Quan Family Hidden Guard."
Jiang Yuanshu glanced at her and said, "The Audit and Discipline Department does not accept this statement. Please have the person in charge of the Quan Family go to the Special Security Bureau to accept the investigation."
She seemed to be impartial, not favoring anyone.
But her actions actually solved the Quan Family's urgent needs.
...
Jiang Yuanshu's people escorted Fan Bowei and Fan Chengqi out of the villa, while Yun Nvluo and Quan Yugui also left together.
Others transported Fan Chengcai's body in a black body bag.
They first boarded Jiang Yuanshu's Owl-Class Fighter.
There, they had a holographic three-dimensional video call with Huo Yushen.
Jiang Yuanshu saluted Huo Yushen in the three-dimensional holographic projection, briefly explained the situation, and finally said, "When I arrived, one of the criminals, Fan Chengcai, was already dead. The cause of death was being killed by the Quan Family Hidden Guard. The person in charge of the Quan Family claimed they acted in self-defense."
Huo Yushen didn't expect Fan Chengcai to be dead already.
He looked at the Quan Family in the three-dimensional holographic video projection and said, "If you can provide concrete evidence to prove that you acted in self-defense, I can let you go immediately. If not, this matter will likely have to go through legal proceedings."
Although the Four Great Noble Families could not have their titles stripped, in criminal cases, killing a lower-ranking Noble was not so easy to get away with.
It was just that their titles could not be taken away, but nobles who committed crimes, even the heirs of the Four Great Noble Families, would still be executed if they deserved it.
It was just that the position of Duke would be inherited by someone else.
Otherwise, in this country, they would really be able to do whatever they wanted, even more than the Royal Family.
Yun Nvluo said, "We do have concrete evidence, a video, but... we have to ask the Quan Family Noble Lady."
So Jiang Yuanshu sent someone to call Quan Caiwei over as well.
Yun Nvluo explained the situation to Quan Caiwei and then said, "Caiwei, we will listen to you whatever you want to do."
What she meant was obvious, to let Quan Caiwei take out the video voluntarily.
In fact, the biggest problem with Fan Chengcai's matter was that the Quan Family was unwilling to take out the video recorded by Xia Chujian.
If they could take out the video, the Quan Family would not have any problems at all.
As the person involved, Quan Caiwei was naturally unwilling.
But Yun Nvluo asked her like this, and she couldn't remain silent.
But thinking of the Special Security Bureau's methods, Quan Caiwei gritted her teeth and said, "Inspector Huo, can you just watch the video and not record it?"
Huo Yushen raised his eyebrows: "...If it is to be used as evidence, we must have an archive."
"...Could you... not use mechanical intelligence to restore... restore the footage..." Quan Caiwei's face was flushed, utterly embarrassed.
Huo Yushen understood and said calmly, "That depends on how helpful the video is to the case. I've cleared the area, and no one else will be present to watch."
He then said to Jiang Yuanshu, "Director Jiang, please clear the area over there as well."
Jiang Yuanshu also thought of the video content at this moment.
As a woman herself, she understood Quan Caiwei's difficulty.
Although her expression and tone remained cold, she had already turned on the electromagnetic detectors in the room to search for any possible recording devices or pinhole cameras.
After confirming there were none, she asked the staff in her office to leave, leaving only her and the three members of the Quan Family.
Only then did Quan Caiwei say to Quan Yugui, "Second Brother, go ahead and play it."
Quan Yugui: "..."
He said awkwardly, "It's not in my Quantum Optical Brain, it's all stored on the equipment in the Flying Vehicle."
Quan Caiwei: "..."
Knowing that Quan Yugui hadn't stored her embarrassing video in his own Quantum Optical Brain, her opinion of Quan Yugui improved slightly.
Although this second cousin seemed strange, he still had a bottom line.
Yun Nvluo was a little unhappy, frowning and saying, "Such important things need to be backed up in various ways. How can it only be stored in one place?"
Quan Yugui ignored her, not wanting to link his Flying Vehicle to the Special Security Bureau's fighter jet, nor did he want to copy the content again.
He directly said to Huo Yushen, "Inspector Huo, I can have the person who filmed the video come over to play it for you. She has the original video footage."
Huo Yushen nodded, indicating his agreement.
Quan Yugui then sent a message to Xia Chujian's security Squad Channel.
[Quan Yugui]: Xia Chujian, where are you now?
Xia Chujian was still in that villa.
After Jiang Yuanshu left with her people, she went around the bedroom again, mainly secretly checking if she had left any careless evidence.
Since the Quan Family had agreed to take over the matter, she had to achieve perfect stealth.
Wave her hand, leaving no trace behind.
She looked for a long time and couldn't find any evidence proving she had been there, and was feeling quite pleased with herself.
Suddenly, Quan Yugui's message popped up in the Squad Channel, and she was stunned.
[Xia Chujian]: Quan Er Shao, is there anything I can help you with?
[Quan Yugui]: We're on Director Jiang's fighter jet at the Special Security Bureau. Inspector Huo wants to see that video. Do you still have it stored in your Quantum Optical Brain?
[Xia Chujian]: ...
[Xia Chujian]: Didn't you say you were taking over the matter? Didn't you say it was done by the Quan Family Hidden Guard?
Quan Yugui was embarrassed and annoyed, replying directly.
[Quan Yugui]: Just come over when I tell you to! So much nonsense! Xia Chujian's head hurt with anger.
What was all this about!
She had been so focused on searching for possible "overlooked" clues!
It turned out that even the Special Security Bureau knew about it, so what was she even looking for...
Purely making trouble for herself.
While Xia Chujian complained in her heart about Quan Yugui's unreliability, she went out of the villa.
She came to the lawn outside the villa and saw two people in Special Security Bureau uniforms walking towards her, wanting to take her to Jiang Yuanshu's fighter jet.
Did Xia Chujian dare to resist? Of course not...
She followed them to the bottom of the fighter jet, and said with a well-behaved expression, "I'm not a Gene Evolver, I can't jump up there."
The fighter jet was about ten meters above the ground, hovering in the air. Everyone was jumping up and down, without parachutes.
The advantages of Gene Evolvers are on full display.
Xia Chujian felt particularly inferior at this moment.
The two staff members were expressionless, simply supporting her arms from left and right, and then leaping up, "lifting" her into the fighter like they were scooping up chicks.
Xia Chujian adjusted the hair on her human-face mask and walked into the office the person had pointed out to her.
As soon as she entered, she saw Huo Yushen in the center of the holographic three-dimensional projection.
He sat there, his aura awe-inspiring, as if sitting on a high, ice-covered throne.
His face was still an unfathomable coldness, as if the whole world not only owed him money, but also his life.
Xia Chujian sighed inwardly, what a waste of that handsome face that was hard to describe in words...
If his aura wasn't so inhumanly cold and stern, probably Zong Ruoan and Quan Yugui combined wouldn't be as good-looking as Huo Yushen.
Yun Nvluo saw her come in and immediately said, "You still have that video, right? Play it for Inspector Huo of the Special Security Bureau."
Xia Chujian looked at her, then at Quan Caiwei, clearly wanting to get her consent.
Quan Caiwei was embarrassed, aggrieved, and a little shy, and said softly, "It's okay, just take a look first. Inspector Huo agreed not to record the video while watching the three-dimensional holographic video."
Xia Chujian pursed her lips, raised her eyes to look at Huo Yushen sitting in the three-dimensional holographic video, and said, "Inspector Huo, the fewer people who see this video, the better. Please do not use any equipment to record or analyze it in real time."
Huo Yushen: "..."
His voice was so cold that it seemed to be able to solidify the entire room into amber through the electromagnetic waves of the three-dimensional holographic video.
He only said one word: "...Play."
Xia Chujian: "..."
So what if he can say single words?
She can also say: ...No!
Unfortunately, she could only shout in her heart, not daring to really confront Huo Yushen.
The only big boss at the peak of the Special Security Bureau, how brain-dead would she have to be to go against him? Therefore, she could only "dare to be angry but not speak" and pulled out a virtual display screen from the Quantum Optical Brain to start playing the video.
When the video showed a sniper bullet shattering Fan Chengqi's head, Xia Chujian stopped playing and asked, "Is this okay?"
This part was okay, Quan Caiwei only showed her naked back...
Xia Chujian did not put mosaics on this part.
The part she put mosaics on was the scene where Quan Caiwei fell to the ground on her back wearing only her small underwear.
She was actually very uneasy, firstly because she didn't know what the people in front had said to Huo Yushen.
Secondly, she didn't understand the law and didn't know how detailed it had to be as evidence in court.
Yun Nvluo was already urging her: "Why only play it to here? There's more behind, there's a long part..."
Xia Chujian pursed her lips and looked at Quan Caiwei.
Quan Caiwei put her hands together in front of her, her eyes full of tears.
Xia Chujian also looked at Quan Yugui.
Quan Yugui still had that extremely decadent and world-weary expression on his face, but with an added hint of murderous violence.
Xia Chujian finally looked at Huo Yushen.
Huo Yushen suddenly said, "Enough, only to here, the rest is not needed."
Xia Chujian widened her eyes in surprise, looking at Huo Yushen in disbelief.
She couldn't believe that this person could be so considerate? After all, this was a master who didn't give face to anyone except the Emperor!
Quan Caiwei was overjoyed. She looked in Huo Yushen's direction, nodded slightly to show her gratitude.
Quan Yugui also breathed a long sigh of relief, cupping his hands and saying, "Inspector Huo is wise!"
Only Yun Nvluo frowned and said, "Inspector Huo, can such little content be used as legal evidence? I'm a law major, I think..."
Huo Yushen interrupted her, his tone extremely cold and extremely domineering: "If I say it can, it can."
Yun Nvluo: "..."
She awkwardly looked away, thinking that Chief Quan was right, the Special Security Bureau was just a bunch of lawless people.
It was a waste of effort to talk to them about laws and procedures.
This is the second update.
There will be a new update at 12:05 tonight.
