Chapter 331: Confronting the Audience
This is not the first time Ling Yi has come to Jingzhao Yin's Office, the last time he was framed as the mastermind behind the murder of Luoxia Yuan, this time it was better, and he directly became a murderer.
Since she was taken to the public office, naturally everything went according to the procedure, Jingzhao Yin Luohui concentrated everyone in the court, of course, Ling Yi was an important suspect, and was escorted by the two guards on the left and right, but because of her identity, she was not allowed to kneel and reply.
Gong Xiru sat on the side, looking at everyone in the hall with a cold gaze, he had already sent Gong Sheng and Wuying to Chateng Shuge, this matter was too strange, Ji Lao was poisoned and died, he must have offended someone.
Although his temper is indeed unpleasant, he is active in the house all day long, and he is not a nosy, if it were not for his own family, he would never say much.
Poisoning is no different than other assassinations, not only the time of the poison must be considered, but the poisoning must also be close. Based on the above conditions, the poisoner is most likely to be someone he knows.
Luo Sheng patted Tang Mu and asked Ling Yi to present the evidence, and asked Ling Yi, "Do you know what's in this teacup?" β
A slight smile floated on the corner of Ling Yi's mouth: "Since it was poisoned and died, it is understandable that the residue of poison was found on the teacup, do you want to say that this teacup is the teacup used for drinking tea when Ji Lao and I met?"
But even if it is, what does that mean? These tea sets are all prepared by Ji Lao, and the tea is also brewed by Teng Shuge's subordinates, I sit in the lower position from beginning to end, how to poison it? If you don't believe it, ask this entourage next to Ji Lao to see if what I said is right. β
Luo Hui's gaze fell on the entourage again. "She's telling the truth?" he asked. β
The attendant nodded slightly in trepidation, "Madame has indeed not gotten up since she sat down. The tea and tea sets are also brewed by Teng Shuge's subordinates. β
Luo Hui fell his sharp gaze on the little guy who made the tea, and asked sharply: "Since you made the tea, then you are the one who poisoned it?" β
The little guy was so frightened that he trembled, and he shook his head and waved his hand in horror: "The adults are clear, the villains are wronged, the villains have served in Teng Shuge for many years, and there is no grudge against several ancestors." Why did the villain kill Ji Lao?! The villain is wronged, and he asks the adult to see it. β
Luo Hui only asked symbolically, in fact, he didn't think that this little guy had that ability. Because in addition to this, there were more important clues that made him almost certain that the suspect was Ling Yi.
"Tell me about it. Judging by the poison on this teacup. What do you conclude? Luo Hui asked the servant standing aside.
He immediately lowered his head and walked to the center of the hall, and said loudly: "Back to my lord's words, the lower officials found out that this poison is quenched by an extremely rare flower called Luoya in Wuyi, this flower only blooms once in three years, and the flowering period is only three days, to quench the poison of this flower, you must pick the flower on the second day of flowering." β
Luo Hui looked at Ling Yi coldly: "It is so difficult for flowers to bloom, and the flowering period is so short. It seems that it is indeed rare, where is it so easy for idle people to get this poison. The people in the hall are all people who are related to Ji Lao's death, but among you, who can have the ability to get the tooth flower poison. β
It's either a small guy who makes tea and does chores, or an entourage, in short, they are all people in the courtyard, and flower poison is rare, not to mention that the way is difficult to find, even if you find a way to find this poison, I'm afraid that if you can afford to buy this poison, it's not something that these people can do.
How could Ling Yi not guess his thoughts, but this kind of thinking was too ridiculous, and she really laughed, "If you can really determine who is the murderer based on this, then what are you Jing Zhaoyin for?"
Only the rich, powerful and powerful can find this poison, so it must be a murderer? Anyone can think of this possibility, if the case can really be decided like this, then wouldn't everyone be able to be Jing Zhaoyin.
In the past three years, adults have decided countless cases, and they are really judged by intuition? Adults are powerful, more powerful than the god operator, and you can guess who the murderer is without pinching your fingers. β
Luo Hui was annoyed by her ridicule, and patted the shocked wood and said: "Bold suspect, dare to say something disrespectful and laugh at the official, come on-"
Gong Xi stood up suddenly, looked at Luo Hui with a cold face and said, "What's the matter, what did my wife say wrong?" Where are you laughing at Jing Zhaoyin, I might as well ask those present, can you hear half a sentence of shame? β
He looked around, everyone, including Luo Hui, was frightened by his gloomy and terrifying eyes, originally Gong Xiru usually had a cold face and no one was allowed to enter, but now it was even more terrifying, and his face was frosty like winter.
Luo Hui swallowed his saliva, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Even if you can't conclude, she is also the biggest suspect in this matter, Gong Er, you said, what did you hear when Mrs. Ling and Ji Lao were talking at that time, you were at the scene?" β
Gong Er is the entourage who followed Ji Lao, and he has also served Ji Lao for many years, and at this time, he couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "The old ancestor did invite his wife to Teng Shuge today, but the old ancestor is a straight temper, but the knife mouth is tofu heart."
The little one who has served him for so many years knows best, but some people feel that the ancestor is deliberately embarrassed. β
He glanced at Ling Yi with some resentment, and Ling Yi couldn't help but smile: "I think Ji Lao's personality is straightforward and cute, unlike some people who bend their bowels." β
Gong Er bowed his head in a sneer, "The small one-the small one just says what he hears, and the others don't know anything." Ji Lao asked Mrs. two questions, the lady was extremely unhappy, and quarreled with Ji Lao, when he left, Ji Lao kindly asked Mrs. to bring a waiting old mother back, but Mrs. also refused, saying that she didn't want it anyway. The little ones -- that's all there is to know. β
Luo Hui looked at Ling Yi with a clear look: "What else do you have to say?" The official asked you, what question did Ji Lao ask you, so that you were angry and quarreling, and you wanted to kill him with a poisonous hand? β
The corners of Ling Yi's mouth flashed with a cold smile, this Gong Er is a little interesting, this insinuation seems to have been repeated countless times in his heart, so who is he doing things for?
Gong Er only felt that two beams of cold light looked around him, as if he was being scrutinized by the king of Hades, which made him uncomfortable, and his legs and feet trembled, and finally in order to hide his panic, he covered his face with his hands and cried, and read the words of "Old Ancestor" in his mouth, looking very sad.
Luo Hui had to pat Tang Mu to make the bottom silent, and asked again: "What question did Ji Lao ask you, if you can't answer it, this official can assume that Ji Lao asked you something unseemly, and you are angry and angry, kill him to vent his anger and kill him." β
Ling Yi laughed: "What's so unseemly, Ji Lao asked me if I had been to the palace house during the Chinese New Year last year, and asked me when I had a child with Hou Ye, I honestly answered Ji Lao's question, but this child's matter can only depend on fate." Why, what do adults think is this something unseemly? β
Luo Hui's face was a little unbearable, but it was normal for Ji Lao to ask about children, but this first question was strange, and he wondered: "Why did Ji Lao ask you if you went to the palace house last year?" What's the big deal?
You'd better get it from the truth, it's all about proving your innocence. If there's anything to hideβ"
Ling Yi didn't care and said directly: "Ji Lao asked me if I had been to the palace during the Chinese New Year last year, when the second brother brought a woman back to the palace house, Ji Lao mistakenly thought it was me, but how could I go to the palace house, after explaining it clearly, Ji Lao also believed it, you ask him, did Ji Lao say so." β
Gong Er trembled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Madame-Madame really didn't admit it, but the ancestor said that he saw it with his own eyes, and Madame was very angry when she heard it." (To be continued.) )
