My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 224 - 123: The First Confrontation Between Phoenix and Li Anning

Death Prison entrance.

The prison chief curled his lips and said, "Still so tough when death is upon you, the Ministry of Justice has been good to you. You think you will still have the energy to cry injustice at the Ministry of Justice?"

Death Prison was located at the very back of the Ministry of Justice’s main prison, with a separate large gate.

The prison chief unlocked this gate, and Li Nuo and Li Anning walked in to see an average-looking young man, clinging to the bars of the cell and shouting loudly.

Li Nuo looked at Li Anning and said, "If the Huang couple were really killed by him, he wouldn’t be broadcasting it loudly. Once the Thief Sect finds out that the Huang couple are dead, he will be expelled from the sect."

Li Anning expressed surprise, "You suspect he is not the murderer?"

In fact, she had her doubts, but all the evidence pointed to this man. Perhaps he did the opposite, widely proclaiming the theft from the Huang Mansion to cover up the fact that he had killed.

Li Nuo thought for a moment and said, "Whether he is or not, we’ll find out if we try."

In his heart, he already had an answer, but he needed to convince Li Anning and the Ministry of Justice as well.

He approached the cell door and said to the young man, "You claim you did not kill the people; wasn’t it you who made noise during a burglary, waking up the Huang couple, and then killed them to silence them?"

The young man appeared insulted, his voice trembling as he retorted, "You... you go out and ask around. Have I, Zhao Dong, the King of Blockage, ever messed up during a burglary? They drank alcohol that night and slept deep; I couldn’t possibly have woken them up..."

Li Nuo and Li Anning temporarily left the Death Prison and brought over Zhao Dong’s steward and Chief for questioning.

The results were surprising.

The title of King of Blockage was not just for show.

In terms of street thievery skills, Zhao Dong did not rank highly in the Thief Sect.

But when it came to the skill of Blockage, even several protectors acknowledged his ability.

Because of overly specializing, his skills in Pickpocketing and Cutting were poor. But in terms of Blockage, he was unrivaled. Committing theft on the street could likely result in being caught on the spot; it was too risky, which forced Zhao Dong only to choose burglary.

For this, he diligently practiced the art of Blockage and gradually made a name for himself in the Thief Sect.

Li Nuo returned to Death Prison and said to the King of Blockage, "Don’t say the Ministry of Justice isn’t giving you a chance. If you can prove your skill is real, the Ministry of Justice will consider reopening the case..."

A moment later.

In a government office of the Ministry of Justice.

Li Nuo locked a sheet of weighted paper inside a cabinet of the government office, then said to Zhao Dong, "In a moment, I will lie on the bed inside. If you can come in without my noticing, open the cabinet, and take out the paper, I will believe your words."

Zhao Dong nodded with confidence, "Rest assured, sir, it’s a piece of cake."

After Zhao Dong left the room, Li Nuo locked the door of the government office from the inside.

He went to the farthest part of the office, where there was a bed that Anning usually used for naps.

The bed was even closer to the office door than the Huang couple’s master bedroom was to their door.

Li Nuo drew the curtain beside the bed, spread some files on the ground next to the bed, and Anning glanced at him, "What are you doing?"

Li Nuo said, "I’m sleeping on the ground."

Anning gave him a look and said, "We are investigating a case here, concerning three lives. Could you take this seriously? The sounds you hear lying on the ground won’t be the same as on the bed, will they?"

She herself lay on the bed and scooted over further inside.

Since she didn’t mind, there was no need for Li Nuo to insist.

Moreover, she made sense.

Li Nuo lay down beside her. The bed was not wide, and it felt a bit crowded with two people on it.

In this way, the situation on the night of the incident was almost perfectly simulated.

The room was quiet. Li Nuo closed his eyes and could hear Anning’s faint breathing.

Neither of them spoke, lying quietly on the bed.

Anning turned her head to glance at him, sighing softly in her heart.

Her first time sharing a bed with a man had also gone.

But she had given so many firsts to him, these didn’t matter anymore...

After some time, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

Li Nuo got off the bed, walked to the door, and opened it to see everyone from the Ministry of Justice, all looking surprised at Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong handed a sheet of weighted paper to Li Nuo, "Sir, look, I didn’t lie to you, did I?"

Li Nuo walked back into the room, the cabinet was locked.

He unlocked it with a key, only to find the weighted paper gone.

In the time that had just passed, this person had not only picked the bolt, sneaked into the room to open the cabinet, taken the paper out, but also relocked the cabinet. When leaving, he even remembered to reset the bolt to its original position.

Li Nuo and Anning, while being fully awake, had not heard any noise from Zhao Dong entering the room.

Let alone the Huang couple, who would have been in deep sleep after drinking.

Anning, although also amazed, still said, "Even if his stealing technique is superb, people can make mistakes, horses can stumble, we can’t rule out him accidentally making a noise that night, or maybe the Huang couple got up at night and bumped into him..."

Logically, Anning’s suspicion was not unfounded.

But Li Nuo already knew the answer.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let’s take him to the crime scene to take another look."

Before long, Li Nuo and Anning, along with Zhao Dong, arrived at the Huang Mansion again.

As soon as Zhao Dong entered the crime scene room and saw the chaos, he froze for a second, then immediately exclaimed, "This wasn’t my doing, I did steal some gold and jewels, but then I locked the cabinet. I didn’t leave clothes scattered everywhere; whose work is this, so sloppy? Isn’t this blatantly telling the owners that things are missing..."
