Chapter Seventy-Two: Nothing to Blame
"But it's also possible that he said he didn't hear it because he was afraid of being blamed and didn't save him, right?" Chu Xi shook his head and said in a firm tone, "No, after all, the neighbor's family is all dead, it stands to reason that he should be very scared at this time, after all, the murderer has not been caught yet, and his life is also in danger of a certain extent, so he will naturally tell the truth, and because he is afraid, it is understandable not to go out, there is no need to tell such a lie." ”
These words can be regarded as a reminder to Shen Lian, she has always had some things that she hasn't figured out before, but now it seems that Chu Xi's words are indeed quite reasonable, and the suspicion on Li Cheng's body is constantly increasing.
However, even if they suspect it now, there is no evidence to prove it, so there is no way to prove that Li Cheng's words are lying.
There were only a few families next to it, one of them died, and only two were left, one of which was Li Cheng, and the other family didn't go out at all because they were afraid, and no one could prove that he had gone out at that time, or had seen him.
If you want to prove that he is the murderer, unless you come up with more favorable evidence, you have to let him take the initiative to say it.
If you find evidence, it is almost impossible, they also went to the scene, and found nothing, after all, it is not in modern society, there are no kinds of sophisticated instruments, so there is no way to take some subtle things as evidence.
At this time, Yin Chen stood next to him and sighed helplessly, "It would be great if Li Cheng could take the initiative to explain all this, we can catch him, then maybe he will say all this, and I don't know what he is afraid of." ”
These words directly gave Shen Lian a hint, and she said suddenly, "I thought of a good way, let's take Li Cheng to the temple, I believe he will take the initiative to show his feet." ”
The White Horse Temple is the most famous temple here, and many believers will come here to burn incense and worship the Buddha, so the incense is very vigorous.
Chu Xi sent someone to bring Li Cheng here, and they arrived in advance, and briefly talked to the abbot here and asked them to do a favor.
After everything was arranged, they waited for Li Cheng's arrival.
Not long after, Li Chengcheng was brought over, and he did not panic in the slightest, but was in a very calm state.
After he came, Shen Lian and the others appeared in front of him, and before he could finish speaking, Li Cheng first asked, "Why did you bring me here?" Hasn't it already been asked before? Why did you bring me here? ”
"Naturally, there is a reason for us, because of the death of your neighbor, don't you say that you didn't hear the cry for help? But we already know that someone heard the voice, this person is likely to tell a lie, or it is possible that you told a lie, among the people who tell lies, someone must have deliberately lied, and the person who lies is the murderer, so in order to find out the real murderer, we brought you here, and I hope you can understand. ”
After hearing this, Li Cheng laughed contemptuously.
"What can you ask when you come here? Isn't that interesting? ”
He would have such a reaction, Shen Lian was not surprised, but felt quite normal.
"Coming here naturally has our intentions, sometimes, you don't really need to find any evidence to find the murderer, there is a lot of incense here, you should know it, right? If it weren't for the special apparition, there wouldn't be so many believers coming here to offer incense. ”
Speaking of this, she paused deliberately, and after seeing Li Cheng retract that cynical smile, she continued to speak.
"After a while, we will ask the master to bless and chant the scriptures, let you go around the big ding next to you, after the chanting is over, which of you has black dust on your hands, who has not spoken, if not, then it proves that any of you have lied, in the process of chanting the scriptures, you have to keep your hands behind your back, you can't watch."
Li Cheng didn't speak again, but his expression was a little strange.
Soon, they walked to the ding, which had been smeared with a layer of incense ash in advance, and the incense ash would not fall if they did not touch it themselves.
In fact, there is no way to do this, and Shen Lian doesn't know if he can make Li Cheng show his feet by doing this, if he is really the kind of person who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, then maybe he won't fall into the trap at all.
But there is no way but to try to do enough to make him really believe that he will threaten himself, so that he will expose himself.
After the abbot's chanting, Li Cheng and several other people began to circle around the big ding, chanting the scriptures.
Because they were circling in circles, and their hands were behind their backs, there was no way to see what their hands looked like.
After the chanting was over, they appeared in front of Shen Lian with their hands behind their backs.
Because he was uncertain, Shen Lian's heart was also a little bottomless, and he didn't know if Li Cheng would fall for the trick.
After these people took out their hands, Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, it was a trick, and traces of incense ash appeared in Li Cheng's hands, and they were very heavy in color, and it seemed that he had deliberately touched his hand.
Being smart is mistaken by being smart, and he is talking about his kind of person, who doesn't know that by doing so, he will directly expose himself.
Li Chengzai raised his hand, "Did you see that?" I now have gray marks on my hands, which can prove that I didn't panic, right? There's nothing left for me now, can I go? Just as he was about to leave, Chu Xi stopped him directly and said with a smile, "Do you really believe it?" We called you here to test you, and we thought you were smart enough not to fall into our trap, but now it seems that you are not very smart. ”
All of a sudden, Li Chengcheng understood, he had fallen for their scheme, and he hated this in his heart, he never thought that he had been so cautious, and it was still difficult to escape.
In desperation, Li Cheng could only be arrested, there are so many people from the government here, even if he wants to escape, it is impossible, it is better to stay there honestly and do nothing.
Because there is no way to continue to explain the fact that he is a murderer, it is better to give up resistance, anyway, it is a dead end in the end, no matter how much you struggle, it will be useless, why waste your strength?
Li Cheng finally admitted, although, he knew very well, what was waiting for him would be.
But at the same time, he also knows very well that if he doesn't admit it, there will be endless pain and torture accompanying him, so it is better to admit it directly, and he will end up happy and not have to be devastated.
The reason for the matter is very simple, he was humiliated by the murdered husband and wife, saying that he was incompetent, in his thirties, he had always been a bachelor, and he had been a loner all his life.
Li Cheng's ears were calloused when he heard this kind of thing a long time ago, and it stands to reason that he would not put it in his heart at all.
But the husband suddenly talked about his dead mother, and said that she would be sad and sad if she knew about it.
This is the sadness that Li Cheng can't talk about, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed and ridiculed by them as a joke.
At that moment, he didn't get angry, he didn't even refute a word, he silently endured it silently, but his hand was clenched unconsciously, and a murder began to brew in his heart.
He drank a little before he was ready to do it in the evening.
In fact, he also knows very well what kind of situation he will face after killing someone.
Once discovered, then he is a murderer, and his head is bound to be lost, but a person lives for a breath, and his dignity has been trampled on like this, and he can't bear it at all.
In this way, after the two and two drank alcohol, he came to their house with a kitchen knife.
At that time, the woman was still cooking, and after pushing open the door, after seeing her, she directly slashed at her neck, afraid that this blow would not be enough to kill her, and stabbed her several times in succession.
The voice that came directly made the child run out, and Li Cheng stepped forward without any hesitation and directly hacked the child to death.
