Yu Hongchou slowly paced in front of him, "Say it again!" ”

"The slave Li Quan is surrendered." The little eunuch was in front of him and slowly said what happened that night, "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it happened to be the slave on duty, and the other palace maids and eunuchs in the Mingyue Palace all followed the concubine Niangniang to the main hall. ”

"The slave was guarding outside the gate, and when he saw Aunt Huiming coming back from the banquet, out of curiosity, he asked more, but Aunt Huiming spoke ill of each other, scolded the slave, and scolded it very ugly."

"Because she was abusive, you had the idea of killing her?" Because of Yu Hongchou's questioning, he obviously felt his body shrink a little.

The slave also knew that Aunt Huiming was a celebrity next to the concubine, so he didn't dare to say more, so he let her insult her. As a result, Aunt Huiming accidentally broke her foot when she entered the door, and asked the slave to help her, but the slave didn't say anything. Suddenly, Li Quan's words changed and he burst into tears, "The adult slave was also raised by his parents, but the family was poor, so he sent the slave into the palace, but Aunt Huiming scolded me, and my family also scolded." ”

Xu Chong secretly smacked his tongue, he had long heard that the heart of the harem woman was like a snake and scorpion, a little palace maid, relying on the love of the concubine, just like that, there was no one in her eyes, it was really hateful, it was good that she died, so that these palace people would be less wronged.

"It just so happened that at this time she walked to the lotus pond, and the slave was not angry and pushed her."

"You said you just pushed her?"

"Yes, it was too dark at that time, and the slave didn't expect Aunt Huiming to hit the stone fence, because he was afraid that Aunt Huiming would find trouble with the slave after she went ashore, so she hid for a few days."

"The slave also knows that he can hide for a while, but he can't hide for a lifetime, and he was thinking about finding Aunt Huiming to admit his mistake, but he heard that Aunt Huiming was dead, and the slave knew that he had committed such a big crime.

It's perfectly said! The cause and effect are all there, and you can deal with it easily.

Wei Hongchou thought about the case carefully, and then looked at the eunuch, it seemed that the murder was really committed by him.

Think about it again, "Xu Chong, take off his coat." ”

"Huh? It's not good. "Although he also jokes with other colleagues on weekdays, and the jokes are a little excessive, which is fine, but it is really difficult for him to take off the clothes of a eunuch.

"If you want to take it off, you will take it off."

"This ...... All right. ”

"Your Excellency." Xu Chong couldn't bear to look at Li Quan directly, after all, his skin was dark in the sun when he practiced martial arts all year round, and Li Quan's body was comparable to the girl's skin.

Yu Hongchou stepped forward to take a closer look, made sure that Li did not have any scratches on his body, squinted slightly, and said sharply, "What you just said is a little false?" ”

"What the slave says, every word is true."

"Bold minion! In front of this official, you dare to lie! "Yu Hongchou has already dared to conclude that Li Quan is lying.

"Who told you to say that?"

"No, no, the slave took the initiative to turn himself in, and no one instructed me." Li Quan hurriedly shook his head, he couldn't figure it out, why did he take off his clothes, and the adults decided that it wasn't his own doing?

Yu Hongchou looked coldly at Li Quan, who was still in the final dying struggle, if Ying'er hadn't had to see the corpse that day, I'm afraid he would have been fooled by him.

She is so strong, wise, and calm in the face of such a terrifying picture.

"When we examine the body, we can only see the superficial cause of death, but in fact, many times, the clue is on the body, and we will take a closer look." This stubbornness of the girl

"Ying'er, really don't go, you won't be able to sleep."

Wu Ying pushed him, "At the beginning, you firmly believed that I didn't kill Yan Mingyong, and worked hard to find the real culprit for me, and now I don't want anyone to die in vain." ”

Seeing her insistence, Yu Hongchou could only give up, follow closely, and if she had any discomfort, bring it out immediately.

"No, we're out."

"Don't bother me." Wu Ying pushed his head, knowing that he was not thinking about the autopsy at all.

"I didn't." At this moment, Wei Hongchou was extremely resentful.

"Look!" A slightly surprising voice.

Yu Hongchou saw her looking up, looking like she was asking for praise.

"I've read the autopsy report, and I found out that Huiming was killed by a heavy object on the head, but there is another point, which I missed by pretending, you see her fingernails, some dander and bloodstains, obviously left by scuffling with someone and grabbing the other party's body."

Yu Hongchou had no choice but to look closer, and sure enough, there were dried blood stains.

His Ying'er is so careful and smart, Yu Hongchou didn't feel anything wrong with this, and it was his blessing to have a wife like this.

Fortunately, they were prepared with two hands, one was afraid that someone would spy on them, so they deliberately did not let others know this clue, and they were also afraid that after the clue spread and the real murderer knew about it, they would hide the wound.

Spread the report presented by the work in front of Li Quan to see if he had anything else to say.

"I found human dander and blood stains in Huiming's nails, which were confirmed to be scratches, and I didn't find any similar injuries on your body."

Li Quan lowered his head, panicked in his heart, that person didn't tell him that there was still such a thing, "No, no, Aunt Huiming didn't scratch the minion, and the things in this nail may have been there before, although the slave has not read for a few years, but he also knows the truth of killing people to pay for their lives, and the slave is not willing to let such a shadow accompany him for a lifetime, my lord, you will cure my crime." ”

Li Quan took all the blame on himself, and Wei Hongchou was even more suspicious.

"As a palace maid of the concubine Niangniang, how can there be these dirty things on your body, and according to what I have checked, Huiming will use meekness to moisten her hands before serving the concubine Niangniang, and the entire Mingyue Palace knows about it, what do you want to hide from such a quibble?"

Shocked by the majesty of Wei Hongchou, Li Quan was so trembling that he couldn't say a word.

"Bold Li Quan, the confession is inconsistent, covering up the real murderer, this official reads your first offense, and you will be temporarily detained for three days as punishment."

"Yes, my lord."

Li Quan was taken down by the guards, and Xu Chong was puzzled, "My lord, why do you just lock him up for a few days, and it's over?" Even if Li Quan didn't kill anyone, he still hindered our investigation of the case, and judging by his situation, he was obviously instructed by someone, as long as he was tortured, he would definitely be recruited. ”

"You see that he is bent on dying, will he still be afraid of torture, if he is instructed by someone, then the other party knows that the operation failed, and he will definitely look for him again, we just need to take this opportunity to follow the vine."

"But if the murderer doesn't come to him, our hard work will not be in vain."

"Since a person like Li Quan who wants to save his life is either the murderer who has taken his family, or he is an extremely important person, you send someone to secretly investigate Li Quan's family to see if there is a possibility of being threatened, as well as the people who are usually close to him, list them one by one."
