"What! Who's dead?"

A narrow corridor outside the prison was instantly crowded with people, and many people passed by Faxiao's office door.

After hearing the news, Faxiao naturally knew what was going on. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he had gotten what he wanted. He stood up calmly and shook his coat.

"Everything is so easy. Fighting against me... humph!"

"I only need to make a slight move to play with you in the palm of my hand, Tartaglia. I don't even need to dirty my own hands to kill you. It is enough to sacrifice an unknown person who does not belong to me."

The next second, Ji Li suddenly opened the door and let out a long sigh: "Mr. Judge..."

"Is everything done?" Faxiao put on an approving expression.

Ji Li nodded and said, "Mr. Judge, please follow me to the scene of the incident for an inspection."

"No need." Faxiao waved his hand: "I trust you to do the job, there is no need to check."

This statement really surprised Ji Li. If he didn't go there in person, he would be under surveillance all the time. How could he escape in the chaos?

"Mr. Presiding Judge, there is chaos outside right now. Everyone is worried about this sudden incident. If you don't come forward to take charge of the situation, they will become even more confused." Ji Li suddenly had an idea and came up with this statement.

Unexpectedly, Fa Xiao had a better excuse: "I'm also very confused. After you complete my order, you only need to quietly bring the news to me. Why do you have to make a big fuss here and let everyone know?"

At this point, Fa Xiao stared at Ji Li with a scrutinizing look: "You'd better not be thinking of anything crooked."

Ji Li paused, then slowly raised his head and looked at him with extremely calm eyes: "This is indeed my fault. I thought... I should cause chaos first, and then you would come forward. In this way, no one would guess that it was your intention to poison. I just wanted to protect the presiding judge."

"Then I misunderstood your kindness. But poisoning was not my intention. You don't have to consider me. Just consider the person who actually did the poisoning."

After saying that, Fa Xiao laughed loudly and pushed the door open and walked out.

Ji Li's originally calm expression was instantly filled with murderous intent, and his clear eyes turned red.

This sentence was actually very clear. Faxiao did not hide it at all. He just planned to get rid of Ji Li as well, and he even had the audacity to tell him in advance.

"You are a beast in human form, a wolf in sheep's clothing, you are truly a beast in human clothing!"

"In that case, don't blame me for using my small strength to defeat the big and put an end to your old dog's thoughts."

At the same time, at the prison gate...

A large group of people gathered at the door of Tartaglia's cell, pointing and talking at the room, while Tartaglia lay on the ground motionless the whole time. Before hearing Faxiao's voice, he really acted like a man who died of poison.

Soon, Fa Xiao came over, and the Qianyan Army immediately greeted him in unison: "Mr. Judge!"

Faxiao nodded, glanced sideways, pretending to be indifferent, but in fact he had read it carefully.

"Daddalia?" Faxiao asked.

Everyone answered, "Yes, but we don't know how he died. We still need to investigate. The forensic doctor is on the way."

Fa Xiao snorted coldly: "Real death or fake death? Could it be that he is pretending?"

"It doesn't look like that. If he really was faking his death, then his acting skills are amazing."

Fa Xiao looked around: "You guys, are you so vague about doing things? Go and check to see if he is pretending to be dead."

The two Qianyan soldiers beside him nodded, picked up their sticks and walked over.

This is actually Fa Xiaozhi's consistent style. To check whether a prisoner is dead or alive, he would beat him with a stick. If he is pretending to be dead, it is impossible that he would not have any reaction at all.

In Liyue's original laws regarding the treatment of prisoners, such disrespect is absolutely not allowed, but Faxiao has always disregarded the rules, so he made such a rule.

The two men picked up sticks, raised them up and started hitting Tartaglia's body indiscriminately.

Tartaglia lay on the ground motionless, forcibly enduring the severe pain, and keeping no expression on her face.

Faxiao had never seen anyone who could endure to this extent, and since Ji Li had just sworn that Tartaglia was poisoned to death, he naturally believed it.

"When will the medical examiner arrive?"

"It won't take long."

"Tell everyone that no one is allowed to leave the prison. There must be something fishy about Tartaglia's unexplained death. Before it is confirmed that he committed suicide, anyone who has died will be suspected of murdering him."

"Especially those who have had contact with him today, don't let any of them go."

Faxiao was secretly proud of himself: "Now, everything is ready. We just need to wait for the forensic doctor to confirm that he was poisoned. Then we can get rid of Ji Li. We can use a small thorn to get rid of a needle. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

However, he still made a mistake. He thought Ji Li had been following him since he walked out of the room, but since he walked towards the prison in Tartaglia, Ji Li had already escaped outside when there were many people around, and ran non-stop to the "Chen Yu Valley" to look for Ye Luo and Zhongli.

When Faxiao looked for Ji Li but couldn't find him, he immediately asked, "Where is Ji Li? He's the guy who brought food to Tartaglia."

"Reporting to the judge, he can't be found anywhere!"

"Where could a man of his age go? Have you checked his room, bathroom, kitchen, etc?"

"Report to the presiding judge, we will go find him immediately!"

Fa Xiao said in a deep voice: "Next time, make sure you understand the situation and report back!"

If Ji Li ran away, it would be really troublesome. Faxiao knew this very well, so he blamed himself for his carelessness just now.

"Tartaria, weren't you so arrogant this morning? Why are you like this now?"

Faxiao walked up to Dadalia and snorted, "I already respect the dead, otherwise I would have cut off your tongue and fed it to the dogs. You are such a fool, you insisted on going against me. Now you are getting your retribution."

"Oh! Retribution? Your retribution... is coming too!"

Tartaglia suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from the ground with a somersault, and then gave a fierce spinning kick, directly kicking the defenseless Faxiao in the chest, kicking him against the wall.

"Protect the Judge!"

"Let's see who dares to move!"

The Eye of God on Tartaglia's waist lit up, and he swung out two water blades with his backhand, instantly cutting the iron door of the prison into two pieces. The power was enough to surprise the Qianyan Army.
