Chapter Ninety-Four: Unpredictable
"Do you suspect me of being a murderer? Did I kill Zhang Sheng? ”
"It's not a suspicion, it's a sure murderer is you."
Shen Lian's tone was very firm, which made the boatman a little surprised, I don't understand how she could suddenly doubt herself? She obviously didn't say that just now, which made him a little unpredictable for a while.
But now is not the time to think at all, he has been thinking about how to defend himself.
"I don't know why you said that, but in fact I didn't do it, if you have to say that I did it, then please show evidence, if there is no evidence, I can only sue you for slander!" Seeing that the boatman was still angry, Shen Lian felt very ridiculous, but he pretended to be quite real, as if he had really wronged him.
What the facts are, he knows very well, since he refuses to admit it, Shen Lian is also ready to poke it directly, not to save him any face.
"The purpose I just made very clear, naturally for the silver, and as for the evidence, I also have it, in what you said before."
"What did I say before? What did I say? The boatman didn't think there was anything wrong with what he had said before, and he couldn't think of anything wrong.
Seeing that he couldn't think of it, Shen Lian took the initiative to remind him, "Do you remember that when you went to Zhang Sheng's house, what was the first thing you asked?" Remember clearly? ”
"I remember."
Without any thought, he blurted out directly, "I was asking Ah Yan where Zhang Sheng went, why didn't he go?" ”
"Yes, you know that Zhang Sheng didn't go, so you came over to ask, but do you know that Zhang Sheng didn't go home?" This sentence directly made the boatman speechless in an instant, and there was no word to refute.
"The reason why you ask this is because you know that Zhang Sheng must not be at home, why are you so sure? That's because you've killed him, you know he's dead, and you've hid his body, that's why you said that, right? After he said this, Chu Xi suddenly realized, why didn't he notice this subtle point? This is indeed where he was negligent and careless, and he admired Shen Lian more and more, and he could analyze it from this subtle angle, and he had to admire her very much.
And Yin Chen finally understood this, in fact, when Shen Lian asked just now, he only thought of this key point.
But the boatman didn't intend to confess his guilt like this at all, after all, this sentence could not prove that he was the murderer of Zhang Sheng, so as long as he bit him to death, he didn't say anything.
He began to defend himself, "I was in a hurry, thinking that Zhang Sheng was not at home, so I said that, you over-analyzed and shifted all the responsibility to me, is it a bit too much?" Could it be that you can't find out who the murderer is, and you want to frame me? ”
The boatman knew very well in his heart that now he had no way to escape, and he could only escape by desperately arguing for himself and striving to be trusted by the prefect, otherwise he would be imprisoned this time.
If he could escape briefly this time, then he would definitely find a way to get out of here as soon as possible, as long as he left here, even if they decided that he was the murderer, it would not be so easy to catch him at that time.
Kneeling on the ground, he began to kowtow to Chu Xi constantly, and there were words in his mouth, telling his helplessness and sadness of being wronged.
"My lord, I was really wronged, don't you listen to her side of the story, even if I did say so at the time, but I just didn't mean to, you didn't think so much about your actions at all."
After raising his head and glancing at Shen Lian, he continued.
"I have no reason to do such a thing, and what she said just now is nothing more than speculation, and there is no substantial evidence, do you want to condemn me with a casual remark? This is ridiculous. ”
After hearing this, Chu Xi was a little embarrassed, because he also knew very well in his heart that even if what Shen Lian said just now was indeed very reasonable, and there was a certain degree of reasonableness, but in the absence of substantial evidence, all this was just speculation.
It is indeed a bit unreasonable to want to be convicted by these things, but he also thinks that the boatman's words are indeed a bit strange, and normal people would not say them under normal circumstances.
However, suspicion can only be suspicion, and it is only speculation in the absence of substantive evidence, and if you want to convict, you have to come up with absolute evidence to prove all this, otherwise it is just empty and groundless suspicion.
It can be seen that Lian's face is not very good, and it seems that he also feels a little agreed with what he just said, and the boatman began to say it again.
"My lord, please be the master for me, you can't listen to this woman's words, just put all the problems on me, because I really didn't do such a thing, I even doubt that she deliberately wanted to frame me, although she is fake, but her job is just anorexia, but now Zhang Sheng's body has not been found, there has been no autopsy, and no evidence has been found, so I directly infer that I have something to do with this matter, saying that I am the murderer of Zhang Sheng, This is inevitably too ridiculous, I think even the cases that may have been solved before have certain problems, in fact, they are all deliberately framed by her. ”
Originally, he was just talking about this case, but now the boatman has also transferred some of the things to other cases that have been solved only a few years ago, and began to talk about Shen Pian's wrong, and concluded that she was framing and slandering others in various ways.
Shen Lian is a very calm person, naturally he will not feel angry because of his words, but Yin Chen is different, he has no way to bear others framing the person he likes.
He walked straight up and looked at the boatman and said.
"Don't move the question to other things, you said that the previous cases were all Shen Lian who wronged those criminals, but those criminals are their own confessions, do people still want to live well and want to die? If they were really wronged, wouldn't they quibble? Will I argue for myself? These words directly made the boatman speechless, and she didn't know what to say for a while, okay, she suddenly regretted it, she knew that she would have been defending herself directly, don't talk about other things, now that she has been caught, she is a little difficult to do.
But the words have already been spoken, even if I regret it now, it is useless, I can only think of other ways to make up for it later, and quickly let this topic move to the past first, and then talk about other things.
After Yin Chen said for a while, he saw that the boatman was not refuting anything, so he didn't want to say anything more, because now it was very clear that the boatman was the murderer, and no matter how hard he tried to quibble now, it was useless.
After a while, no one spoke, and the boatman spoke again, and he could not give up any opportunity to speak, but he wanted to say it just now, but there was no reason or excuse to shirk it all.
Now that he has such an opportunity, he naturally can't miss it, and he must seize every possibility to find all kinds of excuses for himself, anyway, as long as he can prove that he is not a murderer, no matter how much he says or how many excuses he makes, he is willing.
"My lord Mingjian, I really am not a murderer, and I have nothing to do with that Zhang Sheng, there is no need to do such a thing, besides, I have promised Zhang Sheng and Ali to go to Jiangnan together, and I will make a lot of money this time and again, I really have no reason, and there is no need to attack Zhang Sheng, because in this way, it is easy to suspect me, and naturally I will be regarded as a suspect, just like now, so I really didn't do such a thing, Please continue to investigate and clear my name. ”
For him to be able to say such a thing, Shen Lian was a little admired, and he couldn't help but feel that he actually had some brains, and his brains turned very fast.
