Chapter 70: The Case Is Closed
From this point of view, the young master of the Li family also spent a lot of energy to marry his wife, why did he beat her to death?
"In this case, the young master of the Li family should cherish your young lady even more, why would he beat her to death?" Chu Qingli asked cautiously, afraid that this little girl would tell a lie, but her statement was very different from the master of the Li family.
The little girl should have been poked in the sad place, lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, "Madame doesn't know, this young master of the Li family is simply inferior to a beast, after getting my young lady's hand, he doesn't know how to pity at all, not only spending time outside drinking, gambling addicted, but also adding fists and feet to our young lady at every turn, our young lady has been beaten several times and can't stand it, and they all want to find a short view, and the slave maid is begging again and again every time, and the young lady dispels the idea." ”
How could it be? That son of the Li family is really not a person, "Does the Li Mansion know about this matter?" ”
"Yes, of course I know, when our young lady was beaten, the screams...... Who can't hear? It's just that everyone in the Li Mansion pretended to be deaf and dumb. When the little girl said this, she became excited, and she wanted to punish all the people in the Li Mansion.
Chu Qingli looked at Xiao Pan and the second prince, "It seems that Master Li is lying." ”
Xiao Pan nodded and asked the little girl, "You said that the young master of the Li family beat your young lady to death, do you have any evidence?" ”
"What I have seen with my own eyes is not a lie!" The little girl stretched out three fingers and swore to heaven with a serious expression.
"What do you see?"
"That day, the young master began to beat and scold the young lady for no reason, it was originally a quarrel in the room, but I knelt on the ground and begged the young master not to fight anymore, and protected my young lady behind me, the young master saw that he couldn't get rid of me, so he dragged the young lady to the house, and locked me in the room, I banged on the door and wanted to go out, but no one was willing to help me, the young lady screamed from outside the house, I was even more anxious, I shouted louder and louder for help, and finally a subordinate was soft-hearted and let me out, I just ran to the well outside the house, I saw that the young master pushed the young lady, and the young lady hit a stone directly, and lost her breath on the spot, and the young master was also panicked at the time, afraid that someone would find out, so he would ...... Just put my young lady ...... Thrown into the well. The little girl cried and spoke, intermittently, but finally made it clear what was going on.
Chu Qingli clenched his fists, he didn't expect the Li family to be so excessive, watching his son do evil, but ignoring it, killing a person in vain, it was simply hateful.
Xiao Pan was silent for a long time, giving the little girl a little time to calm down, and waited for her to feel better before speaking again, "Why didn't you report to the official at that time?" Why do you say it again? ”
"I ...... I ......," the little girl had a look of shame on her face, "don't hide it from your lordship, it was ...... The slave didn't dare, but when the young master saw me, he threatened me and said that if I told the matter, then none of my family would want to live, so I ...... I'm just ...... Now that the young master is dead, I think that the young lady can't die in vain, and she must get justice, so I dare to tell the adult. ”
I made a mistake and tried to kill someone? Is there any royal law in his eyes?
If what this little girl said is true, then the female corpse case is already clear, and the murderer is the son of the Li family, but how did this son of the Li family die?
"Girl, do you know why the son of the Li family died?" Chu Qingli tilted his head sideways and looked at the little girl.
The little girl shook her head, "I don't know about this, the young master knew that after I saw him kill the young lady, he locked me in the firewood room, and I was not allowed to go out anywhere, and I didn't know anything about what was happening outside, but ...... This is what he deserves, and he deserves it. The little girl's face showed a happy expression, anyway, the person who killed her young lady was dead, and it could be regarded as avenging the young lady.
"Okay, I know about this, and I will definitely give your young lady justice." Xiao Pan said firmly to the little girl.
The little girl was grateful, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
After the little girl left, Chu Qing left the mouth and asked: "My lord, could it be that this girl is the protector of the heart and wants to avenge her young lady, so she killed the son of the Li family?" ”
Now it seems that only this maid has a motive for committing the crime, so her suspicion is naturally the greatest.
"Yes, you see, the son of the Li family happened to be thrown into the well, doesn't it mean to bury her young lady!" The second prince also agreed with Chu Qingli's conjecture, this girl hated the son of the Li family so much, and it was not unusual to kill him.
But their thoughts were once again denied by Xiao Pan, "Qingli, when you examined the body, did you say that the son of the Li family was thrown into the well after his death?" ”
Chu Qingli nodded, "Yes, there is no water in the lungs, so it is not drowning, but suffocation." ”
"That maid just now, her physique is thin and small, if she wants to cover the son of the Li family to death, I'm afraid she won't have so much strength, and she has to throw the body into the well, which is not something she can do as a woman." can drag an adult man, the other party is a man, even if it is a woman, it should be stronger.
"And what if she has an accomplice? The son of the Li family has a bad character, and there should be a lot of people who don't like him. Chu Qingli asked Xiao Pan, sometimes killing people does not have to be through their own hands.
"Li Gongzi has a bad character, but no one has done anything before, why?" Xiao Pan looked at Chu Qingli and the second prince, waiting for their answers.
The second prince was quick to speak, "Naturally, the Li family is rich and powerful, and ordinary people dare not offend." ”
"Since ordinary people don't dare to offend, if they are not like that maid, who has the hatred of killing the master, how can they make up their minds to kill Li Gongzi? Aren't you afraid of Master Li's revenge? "What Xiao Pan said is also reasonable, seeing that the subordinates of the Li Mansion are so afraid of Master Li, how can they dare to resist? Not to mention killing the son of the Li family.
However, is the clue just broken? There were still some clues about the death of the young grandmother of the Li family, but there are really no clues in Li Gongzi's case.
"Did that girl just say that Li Gongzi spends all day drinking?" Xiao Pan asked the two standing opposite.
Chu Qingli and the second prince glanced at each other with some confusion, "Yes, that's the case, what are you asking for?" ”
"In front of women, men like to exaggerate empty words the most, not to mention that there is also fine wine, you go and inquire which Qinglou Li Gongzi goes to on weekdays and which girl he often finds."
Chu Qingli was naturally not easy to inquire about this matter, so this heavy responsibility naturally fell on the head of the second prince. The second prince wrinkled his nose in disgust.
