Chapter 27: Life is Like a Play

  As for whether Qin Yan would be shocked after this matter became a reality, and whether she would have more doubts and thoughts about him, Ye Feng couldn't care less. He was just a small person, just a migrant worker struggling to make a living on the fringes of society. The Nine Stars Space had changed many things for him, but it couldn't change his heart. It could turn him into a strong person overnight, but it couldn't make his heart equally strong in one night.

  This is why state of mind is so important to a cultivator, cultivation can be improved through practice, but state of mind cannot, it can only be improved through experiences, life experiences and every detail of life.

  Ye Feng had already lost his job and had been enduring Liu Yong's selfish desires for so long. Just before the second trial, just before he was about to gain his freedom, Ye Feng really wanted to find a way to vent out.

  Qin Yan's eyebrows were already furrowed, and her face was a picture of wanting to speak but stopping herself. Ye Feng knew she would definitely think he was talking nonsense, so at this point, he might as well let her think that.

  Ye Feng originally thought that Qin Yan would comfort him with a few words, but this kind of superstitious talk was something that Qin Yan would never believe in. The reason he said those words to her was actually just an outburst of emotions and impulses under the circumstances, and not because he really wanted to make a bet with her.

  Ke Qin Yan's next words made Ye Feng extremely surprised.

  "Yefeng, I'll make a bet with you just this once. As a lawyer, there are some things I shouldn't be saying to you, but at this point, I really want to say something to you. Yefeng, I want to make a bet with you, and I really hope I lose to you. Do you understand what I mean?"

  When Qin Yan said this, Ye Feng suddenly felt a warm current rising in his heart. He understood, of course he understood what Qin Yan meant. Although she didn't say it explicitly, her words were enough to prove that she already believed he wasn't the murderer.

  Ye Feng nodded silently, didn't say anything else, closed his eyes and waited slowly for the second trial.

  In Ye Feng's heart, Liu Yong and Liu Mei Mei this time no matter what can't escape his Soul Capture Technique. No matter how high Liu Yong's position is, no matter how strong his background is, in the face of his Soul Capture Technique, Liu Yong has only one choice, that is to obediently admit that he is the real murderer.

  Moreover, just as Qin Yan analyzed, Liu Yong had in his possession the deceased's valuable diamond jewelry, and wanting him to spit it out was naturally impossible for Qin Yan, but under Ye Feng's Soul Capturing Technique, Liu Yong had no choice but to obediently spit it out.

  A few minutes later, the bailiffs took Ye Feng out of the detention room.

  Standing in the defendant's seat again, this time Ye Feng no longer hung his head, but instead held his head high and scanned each of the judges' faces with his eyes, then turned back to smile at his mother and a group of fellow workers, finally stopping on Qin Yan who had already gone to the lawyer's seat, nodding at her.

  The trial proceeded as it had the last time, with the prosecutor presenting the latest developments in the case. Ye Feng was no longer interested in listening to this and was waiting for Liu Yong and Liu Mei to appear as witnesses.

  Ten minutes later, Liu Yong, one of the witnesses, walked into the courtroom and sat in the witness stand.

  The trial finally proceeded to the court debate session. This time, Ye Feng did not remain silent, but instead looked straight at Liu Yong and loudly questioned him: "Officer Liu, I heard you've been promoted to deputy director, congratulations! Considering I'm standing here as a prisoner while you're outside, rising through the ranks, doesn't it feel great?"

  Liu Yong's expression was somewhat tense and also a bit awkward. Although he tried to remain calm when looking at Ye Feng, his eyes never dared to maintain direct eye contact with him for too long.

  As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, the presiding judge warned him not to say anything irrelevant to the case.

  Ye Feng, at this time, was too lazy to pay attention to the judge's warning and shouted again: "Liu Yong, you have done too many evil things and will be punished by heaven. Do you dare to look me in the eye and loudly tell everyone that the owner of that villa was really killed by me?"

  Liu Yong let out a cold hum and said loudly, "People were originally killed by you, what do I dare not say? After the case was discovered, I was the first to arrive at the scene. Liu Mei thought of looking for me in the first place, apart from being her boyfriend, the more important reason is that I am a people's police officer. Now I can tell everyone again in detail what I saw at the scene..." At this point, Liu Yong indeed looked up straight and looked directly at Ye Feng. Ye Feng knew that Liu Yong was trying to make everyone think that he was reasonable and just, standing on the side of justice.

  Then he unfortunately fell for it.

  Ye Feng immediately used his evil value to exchange for true yuan and cast a soul-capturing spell on Liu Yong.

  Ye Feng watched as Liu Yong suddenly stood up from the witness stand, his previously confident words abruptly stopping. His face turned pale in an instant, and his body began to tremble involuntarily. One hand grasped the witness stand, while the other slowly rose before finally slapping himself hard on the face with a loud smack.

  The effect of Soul Capture Technique has been triggered.

  Liu Yong walked out of the witness stand, and in just a few steps, he rushed to Ye Feng's front. A huge sense of guilt and regret surged up in his heart, mixed with some fear and trepidation. He suddenly knelt down, "thud thud thud", and knocked his head three times against the ground in front of Ye Feng.

  Under this circumstance, Ye Feng saw the change in the faces of the presiding judge and all the judges, the change in the face of the bailiff, the change in the face of the prosecutor, and also the change in Qin Yan's face.

  Everyone present, except for Ye Feng, couldn't understand why Liu Yong would suddenly undergo such a huge change and do something so abnormal.

  Just as the bailiffs and prosecutors stood up to help Liu Yong up, Liu Yong suddenly stood up, faced the presiding judge, and said a sentence that shocked everyone in the courtroom.

  "Your Honor and members of the jury, I must tell the truth at this moment. I want to inform everyone that the real murderer is not Ye Feng, but Liu Meimei and me."

  The bailiff and prosecutor who were about to walk over to support Liu Yong were stunned, all the judges who stood up due to the sudden change of events were stunned, and Qin Yan with an incredulous expression on her face was also stunned.

  The entire courtroom suddenly fell silent.

  "Ladies and gentlemen of the court, just like Ye Feng said earlier, I have been suffering from a guilty conscience for days. I haven't slept a wink or eaten a peaceful meal. I've been tortured every day, and I really can't take it anymore. If I don't reveal the truth now, I'll collapse. So, I've decided to tell the truth, to surrender, to admit that I'm the real murderer. I want to confess everything about framing Ye Feng and using torture to extract a confession from him.

  The diamonds and jewels from the victim's house are in my home safe, along with the original autopsy report. I used my power to bribe the forensic doctor with 500,000 yuan to issue a fake autopsy report, changing the time of death to after Ye Feng arrived at the villa. There's another important piece of evidence: after the crime was discovered, I knocked Ye Feng unconscious and planted his skin tissue under the victim's fingernails. Under the pretext of investigating the case, I went to the surveillance room in the residential area and deleted a segment of the footage. The security guard on duty that day is my subordinate's brother, so he let me into the room without question.

  Afterwards, the security guard quit his job and returned to his hometown under my suggestion. You can summon him as a witness now. I also suggest you send someone to my home immediately. In the basement, there's a wooden cabinet with a hidden compartment containing an insurance box with the password 00234. Inside, you'll find the jewels, diamonds, and the original autopsy report.

  And, you can call Liu Mei over right now to confront me. She was directly involved in many things, including being the one who stabbed the victim first."

  Liu Yong's words, spoken in one breath, instantly stunned everyone in the courtroom.

  But Ye Feng, at this moment, could no longer suppress the emotions that had been pent up in his heart for so long, and burst out laughing loudly.

  Laughing until the end, Ye Feng cried, Ye Feng actually didn't want to cry, but at this time, he could no longer control himself.

  Ye Feng saw that Qin Yan also smiled, although her expression looked very shocked, but she really did smile, and Ye Feng also saw that although she was smiling, her eyes were already red.

  Liu Yong, having finished his previous words, was now kneeling in front of Ye Feng again, frantically slapping his own face while continuously apologizing and begging for forgiveness from Ye Feng in a pleading tone.

  At this moment, the so-called trial has completely gone off script. A great reversal of drama suddenly unfolded, and everyone unknowingly became a role in this play, as the old saying goes: Life enters the play, the play is like life!
