Chapter 69: The Truth
Blood on the soles?
This evidence is ironclad and irrefutable.
In fact, most of the cases in this era are very simple and rude, where so much evidence is needed.
According to the case-handling standards of this era, when the little maid testified at the beginning that Wei Yan had been the eldest lady of the Liu family during the day and saw the exact same figure at night, Wei Yan should have been arrested and sent to prison and beaten into a trick.
But fortunately, Wei Yan brought out Wu Bing's name in time and called Wu Bing as well.
In this way, this court lieutenant was slightly restrained and did not dare to close the case hastily.
But Wei Yan really didn't expect that those people would have one last killing move, and it was a killing move that he couldn't argue with.
The blood stains on the soles of his shoes have doomed him to today's end.
Wei Yan's eyes looked at the girl in the white dress, thinking that she took the initiative to help herself go to Qingyue Tower last night, and she put her shoes outside, could she also be an accomplice.
But he soon dismissed the idea.
If she really was an accomplice, there wouldn't have been so complicated, and she wouldn't have tried to defend him just now.
Yu Tingxue saw his gaze, and immediately woke up, shook his head with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice: "It's not me...... Wei Gongzi, it's really not my ......"
At this time, Wei Yan even laughed and said, "Of course it's not you, if it were you, I guess I could find blood stains in my hair, clothes, and pants." ”
Yu Tingxue was stunned, her eyes were red, and she said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Wei Gongzi, I know that you are wronged......"
"Presumptuous!"
Wang Yan suddenly shouted angrily, and said angrily: "At this time, you dare to quibble!" Looks like you're in league with him! If anyone comes, they will all be arrested and given back to me to be tortured and interrogated! ”
Yu Tingxue's face changed, how could she bear that kind of cruel criminal law as a weak woman?
"Wait!"
At this moment, Wei Yan suddenly drank and looked at Wang Yan and said, "My lord, there are blood stains on the soles of my shoes, I don't know, do you believe it?" ”
Wang Yan sneered and said, "Are you a three-year-old child when you are an official?" Dare to quibble! Look at how hard you are when you go to prison! Take it with me! ”
He was very close to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan suddenly took a step forward and said, "My lord, I just found out that there are blood stains on the soles of your shoes. ”
As soon as these words came out, the two officials who were about to catch him were stunned.
The other people's faces also changed.
Wei Yan squatted down, put one hand on Wang Yan's shoe, and said, "If you don't believe it, please raise your feet and let everyone take a look." ”
Wang Yan laughed and said, "You villain, until now, you still dare to talk nonsense!" Good! The official will raise his foot and let you take a good look! ”
If it weren't for the horse, he would have kicked it over.
Wang Yan raised his foot, shook it at him, and sneered: "Open your eyes and see clearly, is there any?" ”
"Yes."
Wei Yan is sure to be authentic.
"You fart!"
Wang Yan scolded angrily, and was about to scold the two little officials behind Wei Yan for catching him, but the two little officials changed their faces and looked at him with surprise on their faces.
Wang Yan's heart suddenly jumped, and he felt bad.
Wei Yan greeted Wu Bingdao: "Old Wu, come over and take a look, there are really blood stains on the soles of Lord Wang's shoes, and he is not lying." ”
Wu Bing also found that the two little officials looked wrong, and hurriedly walked over.
Wang Yan's eyelids jumped, and he had to raise them again.
Wu Bingding took a look, and sure enough, he found a pool of blood on the sole of his shoe!
"Lord Wang, there are indeed blood stains on the soles of your shoes."
Wu Lao said with a shocked face.
Wang Yan's body shook and almost fell, he quickly stood firm, quickly took off the shoe, fixed his eyes, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This ......"
Wei Yan saw that everyone was stunned, and hurriedly pointed to the ground and said, "Old Wu, look, you seem to have the soles of your shoes too!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed again.
Wu Bing looked down and saw that there were indeed vague blood stains where he had walked.
He hurriedly took off his two shoes, picked them up and looked at them, and hell, there were blood stains on both of his soles!
Wei Yan suddenly walked to the maid named Cui'er, stopped in front of her and said, "This maid also has the soles of her shoes, and you see, she also has them in her clothes!" It must be the one she killed, and the ghost has come to her for revenge! ”
Cui'er suddenly screamed in fright and shrank into a ball on the ground.
Wang Yan rushed over suddenly, and he didn't care about the image, he suddenly raised the maid's feet, and when he looked at it, there were indeed blood stains on it!
looked at the underwear exposed on the maid's chest, and there were a few drops of blood on it.
"This ...... This ......"
Wang Yan's mind went blank.
This is different from the script, huh?
Cui'er glanced down, her face suddenly changed, and she was extremely frightened: "No! No! My lord, the slave is wronged! Slaves and maids are wronged! ”
Wei Yan suddenly pointed at her and said, "The murderer is you!" You coveted the Liu family's money, deliberately murdered for money, and wanted to blame me, right? Even the ghost of your master has designated you! ”
Cui'er's face suddenly turned pale and said, "No! No...... That's not true...... The slave didn't kill anyone, the slave didn't kill anyone......"
Wei Yan continued to say loudly: "You have moved these corpses! That's why there's blood on you! You're the murderer! If you kill four people in a row, you will be executed by Ling Chi! The Three Clans! ”
As soon as these words came out, the little maid suddenly collapsed on the ground in fright, crying, "No...... The slave and the maid did not ...... Slave ......"
Wei Yan suddenly said again: "You haven't moved the body?" Someone else moved it, right? ”
The little maid subconsciously nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, it was moved by someone else, and the slave maid didn't ...... at all."
Speaking of this, she suddenly woke up, her body shook, her eyes widened, her mouth opened, and the words in her mouth stopped abruptly.
The rest of the audience was still stunned and shocked, and did not react.
Wei Yan shrugged his shoulders, turned around, looked at Wang Yan and said, "My lord, the case is already very clear, isn't it?" ”
Wang Yan's eyelids were throbbing, and his face was extremely ugly.
Wu Bing, who was on the side, opened his mouth and said: "Lord Wang, this case is indeed very clear, if you still have doubts, the old man can ask someone to notify the court captain to review." ”
Wang Yan's face changed, and he immediately shouted angrily, pointing at the maid and scolding: "You! How dare you lie and frame good people! Someone, escort me back, and serve the punishment! As for the others......"
Wei Yan suddenly looked at the woman named Heyue in Qingyue Tower, and said, "Miss Heyue, you just asked people to check my shoes directly, and it is obvious that there are blood stains on the soles of my shoes, right?" ”
He Yue's face was already pale, and she hurriedly denied: "No, the concubine doesn't know, the concubine just reminded ......"
Wei Yan approached her and said, "No, you know for sure. Because my shoes have a special fragrance, as long as people who touch these shoes will leave it on their bodies. You and I don't know each other, and you haven't washed my feet and taken off my shoes, but you have the scent of my shoes on you, what's going on? ”
Wang Yan immediately walked quickly, first picked up Wei Yan's shoes from the ground, put them under his nose and smelled them, and suddenly "vomited", almost vomited, and then walked to He Yue, lowered his head and smelled the smell of her body, and then wondered: "There is no similar smell." ”
Wei Yan suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed He Yue's right hand, pinched her index finger and said, "Ask again, adult." ”
Wang Yan immediately stinked and moved his nose, and suddenly said suspiciously: "Huh? This tastes ......."
Wei Yan suddenly pointed to that finger and said, "My lord, please look at the black powder in her nails, and the smell comes from them." ”
Wang Yan fixed his eyes and saw that there was indeed a layer of black powder in the nails, and when he got closer, he did have a sweet and strange smell.
Wei Yan went over and picked up his shoes again, poured them in turn, and immediately poured out a lot of black powder from the shoes, and said: "This is a homemade spice under the shoes, because the feet smell and I am afraid of smoking others, so every time I go out, I sprinkle some inside and out." Who would have thought that now it would become evidence of his innocence! If the Lotus Moon girl hadn't touched the shoes below, why was there a homemade spice in her fingernails? ”
He Yue's face turned pale suddenly, she broke free of his hand with all her might, looked at her nails and shouted, "My lord! Concubinage...... The concubine doesn't know ......"
Wei Yan suddenly shouted angrily: "You dare to quibble!" The maid has already admitted that when the time comes, she will naturally summon all the accomplices! Naturally, those accomplices will summon you! Be lenient in confession, strict in resisting! ”
This angry shout, Heyue's body trembled, her legs weakened, and she collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, crying: "My lord, the concubine is ...... The concubine is ......"
"You were forced, right?"
Wei Yan said.
He Yue subconsciously nodded and cried: "Yes, the concubine body is...... It's ......"
What it was, she couldn't say anymore.
By this time, all the truth is already clear.
Whoever is lying, as long as they are not blind or stupid, they can see it.
"What a vicious conspiracy!"
Wu Bing said with anger on his face.
Wang Yan glanced at him, and had to shout angrily at He Yue: "Good girl!" How dare you frame a good person! Someone, bring me back to be tortured! ”
The two little officials immediately came over and set up the paralyzed Heyue.
At this time, He Yue no longer had the heart to resist, thinking of the large size in the prison, how could she afford her fine skin and tender flesh, and hurriedly cried: "My lord! I'm recruiting! I'm recruiting! I'm all recruited! ”
"Smack!"
Who knows, Wang Yan slapped him suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Take it away!" Go back and interrogate! ”
The two servants immediately escorted her out.
At this time, the servant got up and reported: "The dead were all killed with sharp weapons, looking like daggers, and the time of killing was probably the ugly time of the night." ”
Wang Yan shouted angrily: "Let's go back and talk about it!" ”
Immediately, he arched his hand to Wu Bing, and said with an ugly face: "Old Wu, this official still has to try the case, so let's take a step first." ”
Wu Bing arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, go slowly." ”
Wang Yan glanced at Wei Yan with a gloomy look, and then left in a hurry with his subordinates, with the maid Cui'er and Heyue from Qingyue Tower.
As for the matter of the blood stains on the soles of the feet, no one pursued it further.
In this era, everyone still believes that there are ghosts.
So Wu Bing didn't dare to stay for a long time, and looked at the blood stains on the soles of his feet, and said to Wei Yan and Liu Aiji: "That old man also took a step first." As for this corpse......"
Liu Yi hurriedly said: "My lord, I know this family in Xia, they have no family, so I should bury them well." ”
Wu Bing nodded, walked away quickly, still with a faint blood stain under his feet, looked down, and suddenly his heart trembled, and he walked faster.
The other four women in Qingyue Tower also left in a hurry, beckoning Yu Tingxue to come along.
But Yu Tingxue stayed.
Soon, Wei Yan, Liu Ai and Yu Tingxue were left in the house, as well as the five corpses.
Liu Wuwu hurried in.
Meanwhile.
On the street, a young official who had just stayed in the house and watched the development of the whole case suddenly pretended to have a stomachache, left Wang Yan's team, walked into the crowd, got into a carriage that had been waiting for a long time, and drove quickly to the palace.
Lakeside, in the gazebo.
The stunning woman in a red dress was still looking at the bamboo book in her hand with devotion.
