Chapter 318: The Divine Decree Has Arrived
Zhou Xianling didn't expect Qin Ming to be really sharp, so he had already prepared two charges for him, and when the time came, he would choose one of the two to punish him.
So no matter what, Zhou County's order will be cleaned up by Qin Ming later, so at this moment, it is called despair in my heart.
While Zhou Xianling was worried, Qin Ming looked at the hall.
"Wang Liu, is there such an adulterer?"
"My lord, absolutely not, the villain is eight months pregnant, with a big belly, how can there be an adulterer?" Pregnant woman crying.
As soon as she finished speaking, the man spoke among a younger couple kneeling next to her:
"My lord, I am the brother of the deceased, and I ...... I have seen my sister-in-law secretly go out alone, as if she had a private meeting with someone...... Even...... The villain suspects that the children in her womb may not be my eldest brother's......"
As soon as she heard this, the pregnant woman became anxious: "Why did uncle say that?" When have I had a private relationship? ”
"Hmph, my eldest brother often goes out to do business, and when he is away, you do meet a wild man at the back door several times, that's a fact." The young man said.
"Uncle, how did you wronged me? Married into your royal family, I have never had a private meeting with anyone, don't talk nonsense. ”
After the pregnant woman finished speaking, she looked at the old couple again: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, your second elder knows that I am a human being, and I have always been honest, how can I have a private meeting with someone......
The two old men looked at each other, and then the old woman said: "Wang Liu is indeed very responsible for marrying into my family, and I have never seen anything out of the ordinary about the old woman......
"Mother, is what I saw fake? Besides, several of their subordinates also heard the conversation between the eldest brother and the sister-in-law last night, and the eldest brother did suspect the sister-in-law.
Therefore, this matter is basically that the sister-in-law was found out by the eldest brother for fornicating with others, so she didn't do anything and killed the eldest brother. The young man said.
The pregnant woman was about to argue, Qin Ming patted the shocked wood: "Quiet, Second Young Master Wang, have you seen your sister-in-law having an affair with someone?" ”
The young man hesitated: "See! ”
"Do you remember what the adulterer looked like?" Qin Ming asked again.
The young man frowned: "This...... I can't remember! ”
"That means if you were asked to look for it, you wouldn't be able to find it?" Qin Ming asked.
"I can't see clearly, so it's hard to find!" Second Young Master Wang said.
Qin Ming nodded: "Then it is not established, the suspicion in this case is currently pointed at Wang Liu's family, but it is all speculation, and there is no actual evidence." ”
"But my lord, who else could be the perpetrator besides her?" The young man was dissatisfied.
Qin Ming glanced at him and said, "It could be you!" ”
In an instant, a trace of panic flashed in Second Young Master Wang's eyes.
This trace of panic was caught in Qin Ming's eyes, and then Second Young Master Wang said: "How is it possible, he is my eldest brother, why did I kill him?" ”
Qin Ming smiled: "I just said that it could be, it could be your parents, or it could be a maid's subordinate...... More likely to be everyone present! ”
Second Young Master Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Excellency...... There are no traces of doors and windows, no one enters, how can it be someone else. ”
Qin Ming said: "Can't you use poison? By the way, what about the? What about the results of the autopsy? ”
At this time, an old man came out: "My lord, the little old man is a servant, after an autopsy, it was found that there was a hairpin on the chest of the deceased, which was inserted in the chest......"
"My lord, that hairpin is what my sister-in-law often wears, so who else can she be?" Second Young Master Wang said.
Wang Liu lowered his head helplessly when he heard this, and there were only two lines of tears.
She knew that all the clues pointed to her, and even if the evidence was insufficient, she could be convicted.
This made Qin Ming also frown, and said, "What about the corpse? ”
"The county office parked!" He said.
"Lift it up!" Qin Ming spoke.
After a while, the corpse covered with a white cloth was lifted up, and then Qin Ming opened it and looked at it, and there was indeed a silver hairpin on his chest.
It's just that the wound where the silver hairpin was inserted, there was no blood spilling at all.
This is obviously the blood all over the body after death, and it was inserted later, otherwise it is impossible to come out without bleeding.
Qin Ming looked at the work: "You can't see the problem, right?" ”
He bowed his head and did not speak.
Qin Ming sneered, fortunately he looked at the corpse, otherwise, he would really hear something different.
"This hairpin is yours?" Qin Ming asked the pregnant woman Wang Liu.
Wang Liu nodded: "It's the villain's ......"
"My lord, this is evidence, right?" The young man said.
Qin Ming sneered: "This hairpin is not a murder weapon!" ”
"My lord, it's stuck in the chest, and it's not a murderer?" Second Young Master Wang frowned.
Qin Ming sneered: "Have you ever seen a sharp object inserted into the chest without leaving a little blood?" This is obviously inserted after the blood coagulates after death, creating a false impression and trying to blame the owner of the hairpin. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people outside nodded their heads one after another, feeling that it made sense, while Second Young Master Wang frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qin Ming continued to speak: "So, in this way, Wang Liu's suspicions are less. ”
No one spoke, Qin Ming looked at the servant again: "Has anyone ever touched the hairpin?" ”
He spoke: "Not yet, not even the hairpin has been pulled out yet!" ”
"Pull it out!" Qin Ming opened his mouth lightly.
He nodded, stepped forward and gently pulled out the hairpin, which had a little coagulated bloodstains, but as he pulled it out, he found that the sharp end of the silver hairpin was a little black.
Silver can be tested for poison is actually fake, and some poisons will not make silver black.
However, when arsenic meets silver in ancient times, the silver does turn black.
Because of the backward production skills in ancient times, arsenic is accompanied by a small amount of sulfur and sulfide, and the sulfide contained in it can play a chemical role when touched with silver, causing a layer of black "sulfur silver" on the appearance of silver needles.
Therefore, when silver encounters arsenic in ancient times, it will basically turn black.
There is nothing in the human body that will make silver black, and the position where the silver hairpin is inserted is in the esophagus of the deceased.
So it can only be said that what the deceased ate was most likely arsenic.
As long as you're not a fool, you can't eat arsenic, and that's not a good thing.
However, arsenic is colorless and tasteless, soluble in water, and was often used to harm people in ancient times.
However, if it is hot water, it will emit a slight smell.
Therefore, it should be cold water and arsenic to make people unnoticeable.
In winter, when it's so cold, who will drink cold water?
Qin Ming smiled, and then looked at the pregnant woman and the Wang family: "Last night, who gave the young master Wang cold water to drink?" ”
"Cool water?" The Wang family was stunned, and then Mr. Wang said, "It's so cold, he didn't drink cold water." ”
At this time, Wang Liu said: "I didn't drink cold water, and I didn't drink much hot water, but last night, my uncle called my husband to drink, and when I came back, my husband got angry and said that I stole a man's ......."
Qin Ming smiled: "Come on, take down the second young master Wang!" ”
Second Young Master Wang's face turned pale and said, "My lord, this is ...... What's wrong with me and my big brother drinking? ”
"If there is a problem, you know best, of course, if it is not clear, I will make it clear to you."
Qin Ming said, looking at the officials below: "Go to the Wang's house to search, bring all the wine glasses and jugs they used, and search for arsenic!" ”
The official went immediately, and the second young master of the Wang family had a very ugly face, and even his breathing became short.
Qin Ming looked at him like this, sneered, and didn't speak.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely depressing, and everyone knew that the turning point was coming.
However, at this moment, suddenly someone outside shouted: "The holy decree has arrived ............"
Qin Ming frowned, thinking, are you here......
