Chapter 114: A Ruthless and Clever Dead Man
Wu Defu hurriedly stepped forward, lowered his voice and said angrily: "Little Lizi, you have a sheep convulsion!" Lord Bao is here, foreign devils can't be fooled, do you want to lose the face of the Qing Empire? ”
Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Don't worry, the case has been solved, and I already know who the murderer is." The proof is in this room. After speaking, Li Guolou stared at James White with a smile, letting everyone know who the murderer was in his eyes?
James White's face remained unchanged, and he said angrily: "Mike, you can't slander me, Little Robert's death has nothing to do with me." ”
Li Guolou replied: "Oh yes? I have found out the murderer, Your Excellency, and you Englishmen will judge yourselves, or let me tell you the truth of the matter. ”
Of course, the British minister Justin Lille was suspicious of James White, but everything must be based on evidence, and it is not okay to suspect his subordinates without evidence, justice is in the hearts of the people, and not every Englishman will shield his subordinates. Justin Lear exclaimed: "Mike, you are the investigator of this case, and you must be responsible for every word you say, otherwise you will bear the international implications." You know? ”
Li Guolou said loudly: "I am responsible, the truth is about to be revealed to the world, as long as the minister is willing to let me continue, I will bear all the responsibility, if you British want to splash this puddle of sewage on our Qing people, I will not agree." ”
The sonorous words made Justin Lear look at Li Guolou a few times with his eyes for the first time, it turned out that this person was not a flattering Qing Shunmin in his bones, and he just pretended to be respectful to him. Now the scene is that he doesn't let Li Guolou continue, which is to shield the murderer. There is a nest of snakes and rats, and there is no sense of justice for the British.
Justin Lear pointed at Li Guolou and said angrily: "Say it, as long as what you say is reasonable, I will not let go of the murderer." If you talk nonsense, you will wait for the lawsuit and pay Mr. James for the loss of reputation. ”
Li Guolou made a gesture and said, "Then please sit down and listen to me talk about the case." Mr. James, as long as you don't have a ghost in your heart, please sit down, and if you want to talk about evidence, I will come up with enough evidence, and you can wait to see the surprise. ”
Wu Defu whispered to the bag, and the two also sat down, they believed Li Guolou's vision in their hearts, otherwise they would not have let Li Guolou preside over the murder case.
Everyone sat down, the gate was re-closed, the body on the stretcher was placed in the doorway, and Captain Howard was the sentry himself, which was not to be seen and heard by Indian Ahsan. If Li Guolou told the truth, wouldn't he lose the face of the British Empire, and the third son still didn't know.
Li Guolou stood in the middle of the crowd, looking around, there was a kind of arrogance that stood out from the crowd.
"Since we're telling the truth, let's start with Robert Jr.'s trip in the snow five days ago. Robert Jr. wasn't supposed to be here, assuming he was being held at gunpoint, he opened the door and entered the room with the criminals. The criminal said that seeking money does not kill him, so Robert Jr. did not resist. The criminals forced Robert Jr. into the study, and then locked Robert Jr. in the study. Is this assumption true? Your Excellency, Minister. Li Guolou looked at Justin Lear, who was sitting in the middle.
Justin Lear pondered for a moment and said, "This conjecture should be true, or he came with a friend. After speaking, he unconsciously looked at James White, as if he wanted to find the truth from James White's expression.
"Well, then I'll go on to say that Robert Wood was alone in his study, in total darkness, and he had matches to light the oil lamp, as the oil lamp in the scene and the match in his pocket showcased. So I can say that Robert Wood is sitting alone in his study, so I would like to ask you what normal people do. Li Guolou glanced at the people present and asked them to think for themselves.
Captain Howard, who was standing at the door, said loudly: "Of course, find a way out of the way first." ”
Li Guolou's eyes showed gratitude, and he owed Howard Eugene slightly, with the demeanor of an English gentleman.
Li Guolou said: "Little Robert first held an oil lamp and wanted to escape, but the study was too strong, and it was impossible for Little Robert to escape, so he could only give up this idea." And then what? Little Robert could only wait for someone from outside to come and save him for a day, two days, three days, and he starved to death without eating or drinking. From the scene Robert did not run out of oil in the lamp, it shows that he is a person who is not afraid of the dark, little Robert is sitting alone in the dark study, lying on the ground, circling around the desk in the study, sleeping on his stomach, so what is he thinking? Didn't you think he would die? ”
Li Guolou said to himself: "Of course little Robert will think of death, so doesn't he want someone to avenge him?" He should have picked up his pen and told us all the truth, and he would have written a last word to his wife, Lady Mary, and Robert Jr. wrote it down and told us everything. ”
British Minister Justin Lille still looked at James White's facial expression and said, "But Mike, there was no suicide note at the scene, it was all blank paper." ”
Li Guolou laughed and said: "That's right, because little Robert is a smart person, he figured it out, if he starved to death in the study, the first person to come to the scene was the criminal who killed him, no matter what he wrote, it was useless." So little Robert deliberately broke the quill, broke the pen, and threw the white paper all over the ground, as if to say that he was crazy, but in fact he was not crazy at all, the bookshelves did not fall, the books were not messy, and those blank papers were the biggest accusation of little Robert against criminals. As he spoke, Li Guolou threw a pile of white paper in front of James White, and the white paper spilled on the ground, allowing everyone to see the murderer's face.
All the officials of the Criminal Department stood up and glared at James White angrily, believing that this was the truth and that the murderer was right in front of them.
The British minister, Justin Lear, could not hold back his anger, and rose from the ground, and Stitch in his hand knocked James White on the shoulder, and said angrily: "James, how can you do such a thing, do you think I am blind? Really don't know about you and Mary? ”
Stitch struck three times in a row, showing no mercy at all, and James White was a disgrace to the British Empire.
James White endured the pain, grabbed Stitch, and begged for mercy: "Lord Minister, I was wrong, Robert Wood has a last word, he was really taken by robbers, I swear to God." But his last words were written about me and Mary, so I tore them up. James White seized a glimmer of life, the crime he committed was just cheating, and murder is two different things, no one can prove that he is a murderer, James White looked at Li Guolou with a hateful eye, the affairs of the superior countrymen, the inferior people dared to interfere, and they would clean up Li Guolou in the future.
Although Justin Lear believes that James White is the murderer, but now that James White has come back, what can he do? There is still no evidence.
Li Guolou also glared at James White and sighed: "We Qing people have a saying that the Yellow River is not dead, Mr. James, I will take out the evidence." ”
An iron strip was held in Li Guolou's hand, and he said with a smile: "Mr. James, you didn't expect it, the evidence was given to me by yourself, which means that there is a way to heaven and no way to go to hell." God is so fair, you just wait to be hanged. ”
Wu Defu approached Li Guolou's side and said in a low voice: "This is also called evidence?" "He doesn't have the ability, what can he see with a stick?
Li Guolou looked at the angry Justin Lille and said, "Your Excellency, please sit down first, I will not let the murderer escape justice." Please sit down and listen to me. ”
After everyone sat down again, Li Guolou looked at James White and Mary Wood, and then said, "Let's re-enact the whole story." This is a murder case planned by James White and Mary Wood. Madame Mary, you can't escape being hanged, the key to the villa James had before, so he took the musket and ten bottles of vodka that could save his life from the study, and did not leave a drop of water for little Robert to drink. Little Robert came here because he was tricked into it by James, for the sake of Lady Mary. Whatever Lady Mary said to Little Robert that morning? She and her mistress succeeded, and little Robert did not tell anyone that he was going to negotiate with his rival, that he had not been forcibly kidnapped, but had come into this trap on his own. Lady Mary, do you think I'm right? ”
Mary Wood looked at Li Guolou in horror, shook her head and screamed: "It's not like this, you can't wronged me, I just sent little Robert out, and I don't know anything about the future." After saying that, Mary Wood began to perform her cry again, but this time no one would sympathize with her, and everyone in the hall looked at her with contempt.
Li Guolou held the iron tong in his hand, and sneered: "Mr. James, you have calculated every step you have done, seamlessly, but you are one less person." ”
James White was reluctant to play the role of a compliment, and snorted coldly and did not answer Li Guolou's stubble.
Li Guolou could only continue to speak by himself, and said: "Mr. James, you are one less person, that is Mr. Robert Wood, he is a military attache who has been tested in blood, he is not only a scheming person, but also a ruthless person, do you know why Robert Jr. still drags this pass when he is dying?" This is the evidence, the evidence that pushed you to the gallows! ”
The loud words aroused a burst of reactions, and Bao said together: "Team Li, you show the official the stick." ”
Li Guolou could only walk up to Bao Yi, hand over the note, and said in a low voice: "Master Bao, this is just a part of the reasoning. Then he stood up, and scanned the crowd gracefully, and the heavens gave him a head that was different from the ordinary. He wants to make the Qing Empire grow face by solving the case, and losing face is losing the face of the British Empire.
