Chapter 365: Investigate clearly and lock the real culprit
Xiao Rui and Guo Jia came to Chunmanlou and bribed the manager of the restaurant with money, and he knew everything he had to say.
On the night of the murder, he clearly remembered that the time when Ma Dong came here was at the same time, because it was he who personally led Ma Dong into the building.
Ma Dong began to drink alcohol after he arrived, and many people can testify.
"Take us to Ma Dong's drinking room." Guo Jia said.
The restaurant steward immediately took the two upstairs, Guo Jia observed the room, then pushed the door and window, and found that there was a river behind Chunmanlou. The river stretches away.
"Steward, where does this river lead?" Guo Jia asked.
The steward smiled: "Childe, this is the famous Nanqi River in Luzhou, which surrounds the entire Luzhou City. ”
Guo Jia nodded, and then left Chunmanlou with Xiao Rui and came to the side of the Nanqi River.
"Your Highness, I remember that there was also a river behind the deceased's mansion." Guo Jia pointed to the Nanqi River and said.
Xiao Rui's eyes lit up and said, "Do you suspect that Ma Dong went to the deceased's mansion through the river?" ”
Guo Jiadao: "Now it seems that Ma Dong's role in this murder is very crucial, and there is also a motive, so we must first overturn his alibi!" ”
"Yuan Fang, go find a boat, you hold the boat and try it, how long it will take to get from here to the back of the deceased's mansion." Xiao Rui immediately arranged.
Li Yuanfang immediately found a boat to try it, but unfortunately after trying, he found that he couldn't catch up in a quarter of an hour! In other words, Ma Dong's alibi cannot be overturned.
Is it possible that he hired a murderer?
Combined with the situation on the night of the murder, the person who could kill Master Jiang must know him, so he will let Master Jiang relax his vigilance. And the martial arts must be good, so that the sneak attack from behind can be successful.
In all cases, it seems unlikely that a murderer would be hired.
So, is it wrong to suspect that it has nothing to do with Ma Dong, but someone else's hand?
Xiao Rui and Guo Jia felt that it was tricky, and it was getting late at this time, so they prepared to go to see Guo Ziyi on death row early tomorrow morning.
The next day, Xiao Rui and Guo Jia quietly went on death row under the arrangement of the experience officer.
When I came to the cell where Guo Ziyi was detained, I saw that in the dirty cell, Guo Ziyi, who was dressed in prison clothes, sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate. He did not look like a death row prisoner with his head, but tied his hair behind his back, and although the prison clothes were not clean, he wore them neatly.
From this point alone, you can see Guo Ziyi's character, death is not terrible, and her appearance must not be messed up! He is a very self-disciplined and self-disciplined person.
The official took away the prison officials, and Guo Ziyi also opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Rui and Guo Jia.
"Are the two of you here to find Guo?" Guo Ziyi got up, clasped his hands into fists and asked.
Xiao Rui praised Guo Ziyi's attitude, and he was calm in prison, so he said: "I have heard of Lord Guo's name for a long time, but I didn't expect Lord Guo to be in prison, which is really regrettable. Now that Lord Guo has been sentenced to be executed and will be executed in three days, does Lord Guo still insist that he is innocent? ”
Guo Ziyi smiled and said, "Guo Mouxing is sitting up straight, doing something and not doing anything, and not killing anyone, how can you admit it?" Even if he is decided, Guo is worthy of his heart, the world is clear, what about death? ”
"What a worthy one." Guo Jiaguan's vision is excellent, Guo Ziyi's bearing is extraordinary, his eyes are clear, this is definitely not a treacherous person.
Guo Ziyi asked rhetorically: "I shouldn't know each other with my two friends, I don't know if the two of you have anything else to do when you come to see Guo?" ”
Xiao Rui smiled: "I said I came to save you, do you believe it?" ”
Guo Ziyi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty personally decided to make a decision, who can overturn the case?" Who would dare to overturn the case? Thanks to the kindness of the two friends, Guo Mou got it. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty's conviction ... I don't dare, so I still have to tie the bell to the bell! After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he took out the gold medal from his arms and said, "Guo Ziyi, look at what this is!" ”
Guo Ziyi's pupils shrank sharply, and the words "Ru I am here" made his breathing suddenly short, and he suddenly reacted and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Xian, are you His Royal Highness King Xian?" ”
As a fellow commander, Guo Ziyi naturally heard about it, and knew that the Seventh Prince, King Xian, had the right to execute and convict the state capital in person with the gold medal given by His Majesty.
"This king is exactly!" Xiao Rui nodded.
Guo Ziyi reacted at this time, immediately knelt down on one knee, and saluted: "Your Majesty Guo Ziyi meets His Royal Highness King Xian!" ”
Xiao Rui raised his hand and said, "Get up and speak!" The purpose of this king's visit today is to hear the truth about the night of the murder. This king believes that you are innocent, so in these three days, this king needs to find out the clues before he can overturn the case for you! ”
Guo Ziyi's heart was suddenly filled with excitement and emotion, and his violent gasping made his chest rise and fall.
"How can the villain make His Royal Highness King Xian worry so much?" Guo Ziyi's eyes were moist.
Xiao Rui said with a smile: "This king believes in Lord Guo's character, and this king doesn't want the real murderer to get away with it, let alone lose a general talent in Great Xia!" ”
Guo Ziyi was suddenly moved and didn't know how to express it.
Next, Xiao Rui and Guo Jia asked about the real situation on the night of the murder.
That night, when Guo Ziyi returned to the study with Jiang Chuan, he didn't expect Ma Dong to be there, it turned out that Ma Dong told Jiang Chuan about Guo Ziyi's deduction of military salary, who knew that Jiang Chuan didn't believe Ma Dong's slander, so he called Guo Ziyi on the spot to confront him.
At that time, the reprimand heard by the servants outside the house was not aimed at Guo Ziyi, but Ma Dong!
But then, Guo Ziyi felt dizzy and passed out. When he woke up, Jiang Chuan was dead, Ma Dong didn't know where to go, and the doors and windows were locked from the inside, and he still held a bloody saber in his hand.
"Your Highness, after I was arrested, I told him the truth, but Ma Dong had reliable alibi evidence, but instead said that I deliberately slandered him because he showed evidence that I had deducted military salaries." Guo Ziyi sighed.
Xiao Rui and Guo Jia nodded and said, "It seems that the murderer is Ma Dong." ”
At this time, Guo Ziyi said again: "Your Highness, the reason why Ma Dong framed me is because I robbed him of the position of commander and acquaintance, and secondly, the person who deducted the military salary was specially designed by him for me. ”
Xiao Rui frowned, they didn't even overturn Ma Dong's alibi, let alone find evidence that he killed Jiang Chuan, how to expose Ma Dong?
"Your Highness, Ma Dong forged false accounts and wronged me for deducting military salaries, the real accounts must be in his hands, and he can't do it on his own, and someone in the command department must help him. This time, Lord Jiang died tragically, and I was imprisoned again, leaving only Ma Dong, the commander, to call the shots, so the thousands of households in the guard station who were deducted from their military salaries did not dare to report and expose it, so His Highness only needed to send someone to ask a few thousand households with a gold medal in hand, and he could know which official was doing things for Ma Dong! Guo Ziyi said.
Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Okay!" Do you have a recommended 1,000 households? ”
"Yes!" Guo Ziyi immediately said the names of several thousand households.
"In addition, Your Highness, I went to attend Lord Jiang's banquet, and I didn't carry a saber, and the saber was placed in the commander of the capital, and I believe that it was also a poisonous plan secretly taken away by Ma Dong. In prison, I have a good memory, on the night of the murder, I was the secretary who left Shen Shimo, so Ma Dong must have stolen my saber after that time, and the room where I handled official business was just opposite the Judgment Division, and the adjutants of the Judgment Division urgently handled military affairs that night, and if Ma Dong entered my room and stole my sword, someone might see it. Guo Ziyi said another detail.
Xiao Rui was overjoyed, the more information he had, the more powerful evidence he could find.
Next, the three chatted for a long time, and Xiao Rui and Guo Jia left death row.
After going out, Xiao Rui asked Li Yuanfang to take his prince's order to go to the few thousand households mentioned by Guo Ziyi, hoping to know from them who cooperated with Ma Dong's design to deduct military salaries.
And when Xiao Rui and Guo Jia returned to the inn, Jiang Chuan's son Jiang Yue asked to see him, Guo Jia asked him to investigate whether there were any dwarfs in Luzhou City, and after he sent someone to investigate, he really found an important clue!
Someone once saw a dwarf man in Ma Dong's mansion, who was said to be Ma Dong's distant cousin.
Xiao Rui and Guo Jia were overjoyed, and immediately sent Dian Wei and Jiang Yue away, hoping to capture this dwarf man.
According to the total of Xiao Rui and Guo Jia, the day before the murder, Ma Dong deliberately sent the box containing the dwarf to Jiang Chuan's study on the pretext of deliberately lending calligraphy and paintings. After Shen Shi the next day, Ma Dong stole Guo Ziyi's saber and sneaked into Jiang Chuan's study, and did not know how to notify Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan returned to the study to see Ma Dong, Ma Dong framed Guo Ziyi with military salaries, and designed Jiang Chuan to call Guo Ziyi.
Next is Guo Ziyi's coma, Ma Dong kills Jiang Chuan with a knife, and releases the dwarf who had been hidden in the box beforehand. After Ma Dong left, the dwarf locked the doors and windows and continued to hide in the box. And Ma Dong rushed to Chunmanlou and created ironclad evidence of his alibi.
And in this process, in addition to the fact that it is not clear how Ma Dong rushed back to Chuanmanlou, there is also a doubt! That is, after Ma Dong arrived at Jiang Chuan's study, how did he inform Jiang Chuan?
Therefore, Guo Jia suspects that there must be an internal response in the Jiang Mansion!
In the evening, Jiang Yue came back, and he and Dian Wei searched for most of the day, but they did not find any trace of the dwarf. And Guo Jia asked him to go back to the house to check whether there were any spies in the Jiang Mansion.
Now that Guo Ziyi has been sentenced to death, the spy must have relaxed his vigilance, and careful investigation should reveal some horses.
Jiang Yue hurriedly returned to the house to investigate, while Xiao Rui asked Dian Wei to spy on Ma Dong, hoping to get useful information from him.
In the early morning of this day, as soon as Xiao Rui woke up, Guo Jia said happily: "Your Highness, I know how Ma Dong rushed to Chunmanlou within a stick of incense and created alibi evidence!" ”
"Oh? Hurry up! Xiao Rui was overjoyed and asked.
Guo Jia said: "Your Highness, taking a boat from Chunmanlou to Jiangfu is indeed not available in a quarter of an hour. But I carefully inquired about the weather on the night of the crime, and it happened to be windy in those days, and secondly, the water potential of the Nanqi River flowed from Jiangfu to Chunmanlou, and it was time-consuming and laborious to sail against the current, and it was much easier to support the boat along the water, plus the wind boost, and it took less than a quarter of an hour! ”
Xiao Rui slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Yes, how did I forget this water potential!" ”
Immediately afterwards, there was good news from Jiang Yue's side.
He returned to the mansion to investigate secretly, and sure enough, he found that there was a problem with a servant, and the servant claimed that he had won a sum of money from gambling, so he did not work, and after Guo Ziyi was sentenced to be executed, he left Jiangfu to start his own small business.
Dian Wei didn't hear anything from Ma Dong last night, so he immediately asked Dian Wei to control this servant.
On the other hand, Li Yuanfang rushed back that afternoon, and he asked several thousands of households in the guard house with the prince's order in hand, and learned from them that a capital was likely to be involved.
At this time, tomorrow is the time for Guo Ziyi to be beheaded.
Although the evidence obtained now cannot identify Ma Dong, it has already given Xiao Rui a place to make a fuss, and he directly asked Li Yuanfang to hold his own prince order and the token of Ruzhen's personal presence, bypassing the command of Ma Dong, and directly controlling the military power of the guard in Luzhou Mansion!
Sipin and Qianhu are all people who respect Guo Ziyi, and when he heard that His Royal Highness overturned the case for him, he immediately took Xiao Rui as the leader!
That night, Xiao Rui ordered to start a search for the dwarf man who had a relationship with Ma Dong, and captured the servant of the Du Si Du Shi and the Jiang family.
And when Luzhou Thorn Shi and Ma Dong received the news, it was already early the next morning.
