"Is this okay, Suisui?"

Xiaosuisui nodded, "It’s fine, Seventh Uncle, as long as they aren’t awakened midway."

"Alright, I’ll immediately have someone bring the witnesses of that fire incident."

Ji Youzhi instructed the Divine Hunter, and shortly after, two elderly men were brought in.

"Then you may begin!"

Xiaosuisui sat directly on the mat, took out the Soul-Calling Bell from her neck, and gestured for Lu Yunsheng and the two former witnesses to sit cross-legged in front of her.

The Soul-Calling Bell expanded, and Xiaosuisui formed a hand gesture, creating a flame on her hand that then enlarged in the eyes of the three figures.

Finally, they all approached the scene of the great fire.

"Fire’s started, put it out, quickly extinguish it, is anyone there?"

On the Soul-Calling Bell, a water mirror appeared, showcasing the memory of the two witnesses, who were two homeless men from behind the Prince’s Mansion.

Late at night, they slept in a daze, feeling a blaze ahead, and upon waking, they found themselves amidst a sea of fire.

Consequently, the two began beating gongs, leaping to alert others to put out the fire.

Simultaneously, Li Yunsheng’s memory also surfaced on the Soul-Calling Bell.

A small boy stood outside the raging fire, terrified, crying loudly, "Mother concubine, Father king!"

Seeing this, Ji Youzhi understood that Lu Yunsheng was indeed once the heir of the Prince’s Mansion, but whether he had Royal Family blood needed further investigation. The fire incident at the Prince’s Mansion was fraught with mysteries, and the evidence he gathered was scant.

"What’s going on?"

Ji Youzhi suddenly widened his eyes, as one of the witness’s memories revealed a significant breakthrough for the case!

The scene vanished, and the people slowly opened their eyes. Xiaosuisui put away the Soul-Calling Bell and looked at Ji Youzhi.

"Seventh Uncle, is it done?"

Ji Youzhi nodded, signaling for people to take Lu Yunsheng and one of the witnesses out.

He stayed alone with the remaining witness.

"You’ve not been truthful to me!"

The man looked puzzled, staring at Ji Youzhi unwaveringly.

"What... what do you mean?"

"I’ve checked the records from back then, and your testimonies had no issues. Originally, you were homeless men, and on the night of the Prince’s Mansion fire, you were dozing in an alley behind the mansion.

When you awoke midway, the mansion was already ablaze, and you alerted others first to put out the fire!"

"Yes! That’s all we testified, and I truly know nothing else!"

"You’re lying, I only told you that to verify the heir’s identity, you needed to appear and recount the event to him.

But I didn’t tell you that to make Lu Yunsheng recall past events, you two had to be the first to approach the fire scene.

And we can use certain means to know your entire memory from that fire!"

As Ji Youzhi finished speaking, one of the witnesses, Ah Da Niu, immediately knelt.

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I indeed concealed something about this matter."

Ji Youzhi stared at him intently. "Speak truthfully! Otherwise, whether all the wrongful deeds you committed, warrant getting your head chopped off depends on whether you confess truthfully!"

Ah Da Niu shivered as he spoke cautiously.

"I’ll speak, I’ll tell everything."

"Speak!"

"Back then, I indeed concealed something. While shouting for help, I saw a child inside the fire, and someone struck him, then he fainted."

Ah Da Niu paused for a moment, then continued.

"That child was indeed the heir of the Prince’s Mansion!"

Ji Youzhi frowned, "How can you be sure he was the heir of the Prince’s Mansion?"

"I frequently begged around the Prince’s Mansion, so I naturally saw that child."

"With my status, it’s wise to live cautiously knowing this matter wasn’t simple, so I hid away later."

Ji Youzhi slammed the table, asking loudly, "Then how do you explain the testimony?

Why didn’t you truthfully tell the investigators back then?"

"There indeed was a reason!" Ah Da Niu quickly answered.

Ji Youzhi: "You better tell me honestly!"

"Yes! I’ll speak. I found out that the child knocked out in the fire that night became the young master of the Minister’s Mansion the next day.

I knew things weren’t simple, so I dared not say anything!"
