Chapter 123: Full of Confidence
As they were about to leave, the peasant woman suddenly thought of something very important, and although she could not be sure, she felt that she had to tell them.
Now that Brother Zhuangzi has such a thing, as a neighbor, she also hopes to catch the murderer as soon as possible.
"I seem to have thought of something, probably two or three days before I found the body, I found a man who went to the young lady's house, at that time I thought it was Brother Zhuangzi who said hello, but the other party ignored me at all, and I didn't particularly care, but when the person entered the courtyard and looked through the light next to the window, I found that the person seemed to be Tianzi."
This person is one of the people who went to Sister Qiao's house as the peasant woman said just now.
After hearing this, Shen Lian was very excited, and hurriedly asked, "Can you be sure that person is the Tianzi you are talking about?" After thinking about it for a while, the peasant woman still shook her head, and if she was very sure, she still couldn't say it firmly.
"I'm not particularly sure of this, just looking at the appearance of the person, I think it's him, but because the light was dim at the time, and it was night, I didn't see it very clearly, anyway, I can conclude that it's not Brother Zhuangzi, because after entering the yard, his whole person is sneaky, as if he went to someone else's house to steal things, if it's really Brother Zhuangzi, then there's no need to be so careful in your own home, right?"
If what the peasant woman said is really true, then this man named Tian Zi is very suspicious.
After learning about these situations, Shen Lian and the others left first.
Now that such a discovery has been made, it is necessary to investigate.
When he came to Tianzi's house, the door of his house was locked.
This made Shen Lian's heart begin to be faintly worried, very worried that Tian Zi would escape like this, if this was really the case, it would not be so easy to catch him again.
After opening the door, they went straight inside, and found that there was no one in the room.
Moreover, it is obvious that I have been cleaned up by someone, and it looks like I should have run away.
Just when Shen Lian was in a hurry, he found the quilt on the table, tested it with his hand, and found that there was still a little warm temperature, which proved that the person should not have gone far.
She couldn't wait to turn her head to look at Chu Xi and said, "Hurry up and send someone to arrest someone back." ”
In this way, Chu Xi sent his men to chase after them, and they returned to Yamen.
On the way back, Yin Chen said with some concern, "Now that we haven't caught anyone yet, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get Sister Qiao to explain truthfully." ”
Compared with his anxiety, Shen Lian was much calmer, and his tone was full of confidence.
"It's okay, people can't run far, just don't let him out of the city gate."
After going back, Shen Lian and the three of them went directly to the prison and decided to see Sister Qiao again.
After seeing her, Shen Lian asked, "Have you thought it through?" Let's not tell the truth. ”
"I don't know what you're talking about, do you want me to admit that I killed my husband? It's really ridiculous, is this how you are an official? Facing her questioning, Shen Lian felt particularly ridiculous, and couldn't help but laugh dryly.
"Do you still not realize what your situation is? I'm telling you, it doesn't matter if you don't want to admit it, you can bite it and never let go of anything, as long as you can survive this flowing torture instrument, we can let you go. ”
Hearing this, Sister Qiao couldn't help but gasp.
Even if she had never been subjected to such a criminal punishment, she had heard of it a little, and she had seen prisoners who had been beheaded after being tortured in the court.
Even if she has the last life to survive, I am afraid that she will be disabled for life, and she will definitely not end well.
She is only in her twenties, the same age as flowers, and her good youth has not yet been spent, but she doesn't want to die like this.
But in front of them, Sister Qiao refused to show weakness at all.
"What I haven't done, but you force me to admit it, isn't it possible that you want to be beaten into a trick? What is the reason for this! In the face of his dissatisfaction, Shen Pian ignored them directly, and Yin Chen deliberately used a very rampant tone to scare her.
"What if it's a trick? As long as you are finally asked to sign and draw, then no matter how much you quibble in the end, it will be useless. ”
After a pause, the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and he thought of a particularly fun way that could also give Sister Qiao a certain amount of stimulation.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you admit it or not, as long as you die, we will help you sign and draw the pledge, then you won't have a chance to quibble."
"You dare!" Sister Qiao was frightened, for fear that they would do it to themselves in the next second, and kept retreating.
"After signing and drawing, but dead, no one will believe all this."
"Somebody will believe it!" Chu Xi looked at her very seriously and said, "When the time comes, we will say that you have committed suicide in shame, I believe that many people will believe it, and at that time, this case will be solved." ”
The three of them sang and harmonized, which scared Sister Qiao a lot.
She never thought that the prefect would say such a thing, and the whole person was a little trembling with fright, and she didn't know what to do at all.
But this is the real purpose of Shen Pian and them, in order to stimulate Sister Qiao, so that her psychological quality will continue to deteriorate, and there will be no way to bear it when the time comes, and she will definitely explain everything truthfully.
However, at this time, Sister Qiao still didn't plan to explain truthfully, and kept shaking her head and resisting hard.
"No matter how you wronged me and hit me, if you want me to admit it, I will never give in, because I have never done such a thing, and I will not be willing to be wronged like this by you."
These words came out of her mouth, making Shen Lian feel extremely ironic, as if she was really an innocent person who had been wronged by them in a good manner.
But in fact, this matter has an inseparable relationship with her, even if she swears now that she has nothing to do with this matter, it has no effect.
Seeing that she didn't plan to say anything, the three of them didn't stop, but before leaving, Yin Chen still gave her a word and asked her to think about it.
"Even if you don't say it, there are other people who are willing to say it, and when the time comes, it's too late for you to say it."
This sentence directly made Sister Qiao stunned, and her whole body was unusually stiff, because she knew very well in her heart, what did Yin Chen mean by this? Originally, I thought that they didn't know anything, and they didn't investigate anything at all, they just wanted to let themselves be hacked for no reason, but now after hearing this, Sister Qiao's heart began to feel uneasy.
Seeing that her face changed, the corners of Shen Lian's mouth hooked, and she turned around and left directly.
After coming out of the prison, Chu Xi asked with some concern, "It seems unlikely that looking at her appearance, what should we do next?" Shen Lian looked like she was winning, and she opened her mouth without being busy.
"Don't worry, wait and see if you can catch someone, if you can catch the person called Tianzi, then this case can basically be declared over."
"What if that person can't be caught?" Chu Xi hurriedly asked.
After all, as the prefect, he is most concerned about when the case will be solved, after all, the people are waiting, if there is no way to find the murderer for a long time, it will definitely be discussed by the people, thinking that he is incompetent.
"It doesn't matter, I can't catch that man, and Sister Qiao is here, just look at her reaction, she will definitely not be able to endure it for long, it is estimated that in another two or three days, she should take the initiative to ask to see us and explain everything."
After being told by her like this, Chu Xi was even more confused, because he didn't see what Sister Qiao wanted to say at all, but insisted on it, saying that he had nothing to do with this matter, so how could he easily take the initiative to explain everything?
Although Chu Xi hadn't figured out what was going on in his heart, he still believed in Shen Lian very much.
Since she had said so surely, it would not be a matter of waiting for another two or three days.
