Chapter 40: Backwards

The so-called evidence is clear at a glance, two white tunics of various sizes, plus two unrecognizable leather masks. And, of course, a confession and the headdress worn by the man who was killed by lightning in the third accident.

No more, no less, exactly corresponding to those three accidents!

Many people craned their necks and pricked up their ears to wait, for fear of missing something, after all, there were very few opportunities to be allowed to watch in person like this, let alone Ye Fu.

Seeing this, Lord Bai swept his eyes around, and quickly explained these things in public.

"First, some time before Mrs. Liu was scared to death in the Jinyuan, someone near the Jinyuan had seen a large and a small strange white shadow appear there more than once. And Liu Pozi's expression was extremely terrifying when she died, and she died in Jinyuan, which is obviously related to the strange figure. Someone found the two clothes and the horror mask in the storage room where the contents of the eldest lady's cage were stored separately in Xiaochen Xuan, and it was confirmed that they were worn by the white shadow who had been seen before. ”

"Second, when the second victim died, someone saw the shadow of the personal guard next to the eldest lady in the bamboo forest near the koi pond, and he stayed there for a short time. In addition, the witness also saw that the shadow had made a throwing motion on his hand, and the place that the witness said was on the opposite side of the koi pond, so that the victim could be clearly seen and at the same time it was not easy for others to notice. ”

"Third, the iron ornaments on the head of the third victim were not found to be produced in Beijing and the surrounding areas, and the ornaments of this material and style were produced and popular in southern Xinjiang, and the victim had not worn them before, and it was only a few days before the accident that I did not know where to get them. Therefore, all kinds of doubts seem to point to the eldest lady more or less, and we really can't help but question it, and we can't convince ourselves that these things really have nothing to do with the eldest lady! ”

Concise, neat and organized, Lord Bai didn't spend too much effort, nor did he make any detours, and directly laid out the evidence and testimony they had, pointing directly at Ye Nianchen, which sounded like it.

For a while, many people subconsciously discussed, and seemed to feel that what Lord Bai said was very reasonable, and the more Miss Ye Nianchen thought about it, the more she felt that it was inseparable from these things.

However, there are also people who do not believe it at all, and even become extremely angry.

"Nonsense, how could our eldest lady do such a thing!" Mrs. Zhou hesitated for a long time, and finally stopped being entangled, gritted her teeth and didn't care about anything else, and asked the adult surnamed Bai in public: "Why do you say that those two clothes were found from Xiaochen Pavilion?" I'm the housekeeper of Xiaochen Pavilion, and I've never seen you go to the courtyard to look for anything, what kind of shameless nonsense and malicious blame is this? ”

"Also, what did you say that someone saw the eldest lady's personal guard hiding in the shadows, who saw it, come out and make it clear in person, why did only two cleaning rings be present after looking for a long time when the person died, and now after so long, why did he run out of a witness hiding in the dark and sneaking around?"

Mrs. Zhou not only spoke neatly, but her brain was even more flexible, and she pushed out the doubts of the evidence and testimony one by one: "Also, why do you say that the hair ornament is made in southern Xinjiang and is related to our eldest lady?" Which of your eyes saw that the eldest lady gave that thing? Could it be that coming back from southern Xinjiang means that everything that has anything to do with southern Xinjiang belongs to our eldest lady, which is too far-fetched! ”

"That's right, in my opinion, it's clear that someone deliberately framed our eldest lady, what is the identity of our eldest miss, can we use these unclear things and rhetoric as evidence to determine what happened to Miss Guan?"

Xiaolan was secretly pushed by Mrs. Zhou, but she immediately reflected it, and put on an angry posture of support.

At first, Xiaolan didn't quite understand why Zhou's mother took the initiative to jump out in front of the princess to defend the eldest lady at such a time, but she was not stupid after all, and she was often reminded by Mrs. Zhou, so she quickly figured out the cause and effect.

In fact, no matter what the truth is, as a subordinate of Xiao Chenxuan, of course, they will be both prosperous and lose with their master. Second, Lord Bai actually said that the two clothes and masks were found in Xiao Chenxuan's storage room, so how could they, the subordinates who guarded Xiao Chenxuan, take it off?

Whether it's true or not, they're all unaware that anyone has gone in, and it's impossible for them to be derelict in their duties alone.

Therefore, at this time, it is the most normal way to come forward and stand in the same camp as the eldest lady.

What's more, Xiaolan also felt that her master's unhurried appearance was not at all pretended, since she was still able to deal with it calmly at this time, she was bound to be confident, but it was not so easy to be manipulated at will.

All the thoughts were actually just a moment's work, but the attitude of Mrs. Zhou and Xiaolan made Ye Nianchen smile slightly, and there was a touch of affirmation in his eyes.

Facing His Excellency Xiaochen's questioning, Lord Bai frowned slightly, but he was not too surprised.

"Don't be bored, these are all evidence testimony, although it is not ironclad evidence, but it does make the eldest lady unable to completely stay out of the matter. As for the witnesses, for the sake of safety, it is not convenient to disclose their identities for the time being. ”

Because of Mrs. Zhou and Xiaolan's words, the skepticism of everyone below seemed to be a little repetitive, but Lord Bai didn't care, because he had other hole cards in his hand.

"Xiaolan, Mother Zhou, you step back first." Seeing that Mrs. Zhou seemed to want to make a sound, Ye Nianchen waved his hand generously, signaling that the two of them did not need to be in a hurry and retreated for the time being.

Then, she said to the master surnamed Bai who solved the case: "Lord Bai, although the subordinates in my courtyard don't speak very well, their words are indeed very reasonable. If Lord Bai has always decided cases like this, then I really have some doubts about whether there have been unjust cases and wrongful convictions before. ”

"Miss, you can't say that......"

It is excusable to be questioned about today's case, but his entire career in solving cases has been suspected, which makes Lord Bai extremely dissatisfied.

But before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Ye Nianchen.

"Please listen to me first."

Ye Nianchen's attitude was pertinent, his tone was formal but not extreme, quite convincing: "First, I don't care who found these two white clothes and masks from Xiaochen Xuan, and when and how they were found. But what I want to tell you is that the storage room you mentioned is not locked on weekdays, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, even if the things were really found there, and it would be too far-fetched to insist that it has something to do with me. ”

She paused, smiled and said, "To put it mildly, if the matter really has something to do with me, do you think I would be stupid enough to put things in my yard and wait for you to find them, knowing that you are investigating thoroughly?" Not to mention, what evidence does Lord Bai have to prove that the abnormal white shadow that appeared in Jinyuan before Liu Pozi's death is the same thing as scaring her to death? According to what you mean, isn't it implying that all the abnormal and bad things in Ye Mansion are related to me? ”

"This ......" Lord Bai was stunned, and his expression subconsciously tightened: "I didn't mean that, I just judged it according to the clues." ”

"Since Lord Bai said so, then things are simple." Ye Nianchen said lightly: "I'm not sure about other things, but it's absolutely possible to let a few white clothes and masks appear anywhere in this Ye Mansion." According to Lord Bai's standard for judging cases, whoever is found in the courtyard will be in whose business, and it is really too simple to frame the blame. ”

"......" Hearing this, Lord Bai's face became more and more embarrassed, and he opened his mouth but couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while.

Seeing this, Ye Nianchen didn't overdo it, and then analyzed: "As for the second case, Lord Bai mentioned that there were any witnesses who saw my guard appear not far from the victim, and there was also a specious little action of throwing things to harm people. Is that right? ”

"Yes to ......" Lord Bai subconsciously responded, but his heart gradually lost the confidence and composure of the past.
