Although many clues surfaced to slowly clear the suspicion of me and Xiao Shunzi, the ashes of the hibiscus flower did appear on Lao Gege's side, and Chun'er was my childhood friend, so Xiao Shunzi and I couldn't get out completely, so Xiao Shunzi hadn't been released yet. It's just that the treatment is much better than before.

Originally, I wanted to visit him to see how he recovered from his injuries after being tortured before, but Yinzhen said that there is a difference between master and servant, and I shouldn't break the rules and surrender my identity to visit, not to mention the current situation, if I go to see him, I will inevitably be suspected of collusion. Yinzhen's words naturally made sense, so I had no choice but to give up, and just privately asked Su Peisheng to help inform me to take more care of them.

After discovering that there were ashes of hibiscus incense in the incense burner, Chun'er was also taken into custody.

"I want to go and listen to Chun'er's questioning in person, and I also want to ask her in person, why did she frame me like this regardless of sisterhood......" Thinking of Chun'er, her mood was unconsciously low, and she whispered to Yinzhen thoughtfully.

Yin Zhen thought for a moment, nodded and said: "If Chun'er had known about the plan for this matter, she would have had contact with the people behind the scenes, I am afraid that she is now the only breakthrough point in the whole case, you are more familiar with her, it is good to look at words and looks for some flaws from the sidelines." ”

is still dressed as an internal servant, and together with Su Peisheng, he accompanied Yinzhen to the place where Chun'er was interrogated. In each prince's mansion, there is a torture room for interrogating domestic servants, these places are not usually used, but every time they are used, blood and death are inevitable, so this place feels particularly eerie and depressing.

Because she didn't ask formally before, Chun'er didn't suffer much, but her hair was a little messy, and she was tired and haggard between her eyebrows. She was led into the hall and pushed to her knees, keeping her head down and silent. At this time, she didn't recognize me standing behind Yinzhen on the side, she just lowered her head in a daze, and the whole person had lost her original innocence and beauty, as if she had lost her angry puppet, which made people helpless and regretful.

"Bold minion, are you guilty?" The officials of the Criminal Department have their own set of methods of inquiry, and when they come up, they first use their momentum to deter the other party. Even I, who was standing on the side, felt that the atmosphere at this time was frightening, but Chun'er seemed unmoved, still keeping her head down and silent.

The official of the Criminal Department glanced at Yinzhen and saw that he had no instructions, so he continued to intimidate and coerce according to the usual rules, and Xiao Yiyi, who was both soft and hard, saw Chun'er slowly raise his head after a long time, and asked indifferently: "The slave doesn't know what the crime is, please know what the lord is." ”

In fact, Chun'er's suspicion is completely derived from my jade pendant and my speculation, but the incense burner ash just corroborates my speculation, but strictly speaking, Chun'er has always denied seeing me, and also flatly denied that she has not worn that jade pendant, and there is indeed no direct evidence to prove that she was involved.

I saw that the officials of the Criminal Department were in trouble for a while, and whispered to Yinzhen: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating."

Yin Zhen hooked his lips when he heard this, and called Su Peisheng to whisper a few words, and saw Su Peisheng walking to the criminal department official and whispering something, and the criminal department official's face also showed a look of happy agreement.

In fact, inducing confessions is the most despicable method of torture, but in this era, when it is impossible to solve difficult cases in a more effective way, it is also the most effective way to use the weak points in people's hearts to break through the psychological defense.

"You don't have to quibble anymore, this time I will detain you, I must be completely sure. I just tell you, that day you went to the courtyard of Degege, although you felt that no one saw it, but you didn't know that there was a greedy little eunuch who happened to pass by and saw it, but he was afraid that people would know that he had drunk too much, so he hid it and didn't let people find out, until he saw you enter the courtyard of Degege, he didn't leave. That hour happened to be the time after Degege was killed, and at such a late hour, you didn't wait for your master, what were you doing in the courtyard of Degege, which happened to be killed?" asked Chun'er in an affirmative tone.

In fact, I once reasoned these words from this official, but I didn't expect him to use them here and fabricate an eyewitness out of thin air. This makes me have to admire that Jiang is really old and spicy.

Sure enough, Chun'er's face suddenly turned pale when she heard this, and she lost her composure, but she still insisted that she hadn't been to the Degege House, and she was afraid that she had seen the wrong person.

The official of the Criminal Department read countless people, and naturally saw Chun'er's weak heart, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue, slapped the startling wood heavily, and asked: "Then let me ask you, what do you say about the hibiscus ashes in the incense burner in Lao Gege's house? Everyone else says that this incense burner has always been in your charge, and usually only you occasionally light the incense burner to help her sleep because Lao Gege has not slept well." But what is usually used is sandalwood, but that day it was hibiscus, what do you explain!"

Chun'er smiled coldly and responded: "The effect of sandalwood is not good, the slave heard that hibiscus can help sleep, so the person in charge of the yard asked for some hibiscus petals, just after the family banquet that day, the slave saw that the old Gege was tired, afraid that she would not sleep well and hurt her body, so he changed the incense without authorization, and wanted to say to see the effect, if it is easy to use, it is not too late to talk to her, I didn't expect that Degege died that night." The minions were afraid of being implicated, so they disposed of the ashes in the incense burner the next day, but unfortunately they were not disposed of, and they were still suspected. But the slave is really wronged, and the adults can't just think that the slave has something to do with this matter on the basis of this alone......"

I looked at Chun'er, and the innocent and innocent woman who didn't know the world before came to my mind, and the figures couldn't overlap at all, except for the same appearance, the whole person's demeanor and tone suddenly became so unfamiliar. What exactly did she go through that would make such a big change in just two years for a woman who was no more than a teenager.

The officials of the Criminal Department were speechless by her words, so they could only get up and ask Yinzhen on the side for help, asking what to do. Yin Zhen glanced at me and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a way?"

I pondered the occasion, and suddenly my heart lit up, and I responded: "Xiao Shun's room found out that the hibiscus was after the third day after the accident, how could she know that the hibiscus flower would make her be involved and afraid to dispose of the ashes in the incense burner the next day?"

Originally, the idea of inducing a confession was also born suddenly, and Chun'er must have not expected such a conversation at first, so all her confessions could only be made up temporarily. More than ten days have passed since the incident, and many specific times may not be remembered so clearly, so a huge and fatal loophole inevitably appeared in the lies she hastily fabricated.

After I pointed out the loophole, the officials of the criminal department began a sharp interrogation. Under such interrogation, Chun'er has been trying her best to justify herself, but because her brain is becoming more and more chaotic, it is gradually full of loopholes, and finally she is in a mess, and she shouts in a broken voice: "I didn't kill anyone, I just took advantage of the fact that after they moved the body out, there was no one in the house, and put the jade pendant in Degege's house......"

When everyone present heard this, they all immediately felt relieved, this case has gone through so long time, and finally has a confession that can be convicted in the real sense.

Looking at the joy and relief in the eyes of Yinzhen and the officials of the Criminal Department, I couldn't be happy. Looking at the woman I once thought was the only friend in this era, I felt the sadness and anger in my heart gradually spread like ripples in the water. (To be continued.) )
