Chapter 477: The Interrogation Begins
Cheng Zizai came to Yanzhou with Li Rizhi, but Cheng Zizai has always talked little, and he has been listening to him, but he did not interject.
But at this time, he spoke, and Cheng Zizi asked, "That little maid came from Qianfeng County, right?" Although Qianfeng County is not very far from Yanzhou City, for a little girl, it is definitely not possible to go on the road alone, was she sent by your father? So is this your father agreeing to your marriage with her young lady? This aspect is actually very important, but I don't see that it is written in the dossier, and you have not said it yourself! ”
In fact, in the whole case, the relationship between Wen Dengke and You Baosu is very important, and the reason why You Baoshu and the little maid insisted that Wen Dengke was the murderer at that time was related to the vague relationship between the two people!
Wen Dengke said that the two people have no relationship, but You Baosu said that the two people have a very important relationship, and one of these two people must be a liar!
For officials who only read the file and listened to the descriptions of the two people, if this relationship is not clear, then they will naturally think that there is a relationship between the two people, and this relationship is very obviously very unfavorable to Vindenko.
Cheng Zizai reminded him like this, Wen Dengke suddenly realized, yes, he just kept saying that he had nothing to do with You Bao Silk, but this has nothing to do with it, it needs to be proven, then his parents are actually one of the witnesses in this regard, although he can not be a witness or not, he is not clear, but whether he has anything to do with You Bao Silk is clear.
Wendenko immediately became anxious, he said: "The student's father is still in the city, he should know that the student is in prison, and he doesn't know how to hurry now!" ”
Li Rizhi said: "You don't have to worry about this, the official will send someone to find them, and your mother will also be brought from Qianfeng County!" ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head and said to Wang Jusi: "In addition, I have to call Shopkeeper You here, the official has something to ask him, and the servants who came to Yanzhou City with Shopkeeper You must also be brought together!" ”
Wang Jusi hurriedly agreed, and immediately sent someone to find someone, not only to find the shopkeeper You, but also to send someone to Qianfeng County, and to find the old couple of the Wen family together.
Li Rizhi said to Wen Dengke: "Go on, there is another very important question, on the night of the crime, who can prove that you were in the inn, if it is only your father who proves it, this is probably not possible, your father is your closest relative, so it can't be proved that you were not there at the time!" ”
Regarding other proofs, the Wen family old man or Mrs. Wen has some things that can be done, but the alibi can't be done by the Wen family.
Wen Dengke carefully recalled the events of the previous night, and the time was not long apart, so many things could be completely recalled.
Wen Dengke said: "The students and their classmates came to Yanzhou together, because those classmates are very rich, they want to live in this inn, because the students are riding a horse borrowed by the county magistrate, so in the first few days, they must also live in the city inn."
After seeing Lord Thorn Shi, and successfully registering for the exam, the student plans to move out of the city and find a temple outside the city to spend the night, because this inn is found by those classmates, so he knew the name of the inn in advance, and the student told his parents when he was about to leave the house, and fortunately he said it, so when the student's father found it, he found the inn directly, and he found the student.
That night, the student lived in the same room with his father, and the student came out of the room because he didn't want to disturb his father's rest, so he came out of the room and went to the backyard to study. ”
Several people present couldn't help but nod secretly, this Wendenko studied quite hard, and he actually stood outside the horse circle to borrow the light to read.
Li Rizhi asked softly: "Why don't you ask for an oil lamp from the store, is it because the oil lamp has to pay?" ”
Wen Dengke nodded and said, "If an oil lamp is filled with oil, it will cost fifteen copper coins, and students are reluctant to spend this money!" ”
Li Rizhi said: "If that groom saw you at midnight, then he could be your witness, because at this time, you are not enough to run back from Dong's house, of course, you must also be at this time, before and after, and then, will you go back to your room to sleep?" ”
Wendenko was a little excited, he nodded and said, "Yes, at midnight!" After that, the student went back to the room to rest, because he had to see Master Thorn Shi the next day, and the student was afraid that he would be in bad spirits, and if there was an accident when answering, it would be worth the loss! ”
If the groom in the inn really saw Wen Dengke, and it was at midnight on the night of the crime, then it can be proved that Wen Dengke could not have committed murder in Dong's house, which means that their case was wrong!
It is impossible for Wendenko to lie about such an important matter, and it is impossible for the groom to give perjury for this matter, insisting that he did not see Wendenko, so it is basically certain now that Wendenko is not the murderer.
Li Rizhi nodded, he also felt very pleased, this shows that his judgment is not wrong, from a normal point of view, Wen Dengke cannot be the murderer, and now the case has not deviated from the normal situation, as long as he continues to ask, then it is still very likely that this case will be solved in a short time.
Li Rizhi turned his head and said to Wang Jusi: "That shopkeeper should still be in Yanzhou City, when will he be brought?" ”
Wang Jusi said: "He lives in the Dong family now, and the people of the Dong family are not allowed to leave, it is not very far from here, it is estimated that he should have arrived by now, and he may be waiting outside!" ”
After Wang Jusi finished speaking, he went to the wing room in the front yard in person, and sure enough, he saw the shopkeeper You, and the people of the Dong family except for the old lady, the rest came, after all, this is a big deal for the Dong family, not only involving Dong Chao's death, but also involving the distribution of family property behind Dong Chao, which is a very real problem.
You Baosu and the little maid and a group of servants of the You family were all brought here, and that night, the maids and mothers-in-law of the Dong family who were serving You Baosilk were also brought here, and basically all the people at the scene of the crime were brought here.
After Wang Jusi came back, he said to Li Rizhi: "Li County Order, the people from the Dong family and the You family outside have been brought, who do you want to ask first?" ”
Li Rizhi said: "First call the people who first found Dong Chao's body that night to come in, call in one by one, in order, if it is found at the same time, call the young one in first!" ”
However, this time it was not Wang Jusi who went out, but Cheng Zizai went out in person, and Cheng Zizai was afraid that Wang Jusi would make a mistake, so he went out to call someone in person.
When Cheng Zizai came back, he saw a maid behind him, it was the maid of the Dong family, but this maid was not the kind of young maid, but a maid in her twenties who had obviously married and had given birth to children!
Of course, a married servant woman can no longer be called a maid, but this servant woman is indeed dressed as a maid!
