Chapter XVII: Ironclad Evidence
ps: I have something to go out today, and the update is late, sorry! There will be two shifts from tomorrow!
—————————————————————————————
At the time of the crime, the first three men to arrive at the scene were Lin Zhao, Wang Yan and Chen Xuan. The prefect's son-in-law is naturally excluded, and Lin Zhao, who is a witness to each other, is naturally no problem. So, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Xuan!
"That's right, it's you!" Lin Zhao pointed at Chen Xuan coldly.
Chen Xuan's eyes were a little flustered, and he stammered: "Blood spews people!" I...... I have no grievances with Brother Wakaya, what motive do I have to kill someone? ”
"I'm embarrassed to say it!" Lin Zhao sneered: "Why do you want to perjury to frame Miss Meng? What is your intention to get close to Miss Meng and then hook up with the married woman of the Meng family? ”
"You guys?" Old Madam Meng was greatly surprised and extremely angry. Everyone else was also surprised, the Meng family's prospective aunt hooked up with the young lady to become a annihilation? There are such things!
Lin Zhao said: "Old lady, do you remember that I was wronged to peek at the young lady's clothes?" Actually, I did see it, but what I saw was Chen Xuan and Li's cheating tryst. It is precisely because of this that they sued the wicked people first and framed me in a different way, just to silence me. After I saw through it, I launched a little peach as a scapegoat! ”
"Nonsense! When I said that it was all my fault, it had nothing to do with the young lady...... Besides, you didn't say it at the time, what is the intention of making it up now? Xiao Tao seemed very loyal at this time and took the initiative to come forward to face the crime.
Lin Zhao said: "Old lady Mingjian, I had no evidence at that time, and no one would believe what I said, and I would be charged with a false accusation." I also blamed myself for the past two days, if I had been brave and outspoken, my son might have been spared, and the eldest lady would not have been wronged and imprisoned! ”
Old Madam Meng secretly said that if Lin Zhao really said it at that time, she would definitely not believe it. Everyone was also very understanding, and it was undoubtedly wise to remain silent and not ask.
A sentence also reminded Shao Wenquan, and immediately sent someone back to the prison to release Meng Ruoying. No matter who the murderer is, at least Miss Meng is innocent.
Lin Zhao continued: "It was from that time that I paid attention to collecting evidence, first of all, the dregs of medicine that I accidentally discovered. That Xiao Tao is indeed decocting medicine, but it is not a tonic, but a contraceptive pill prepared for her master just in case! It's a pity that the matter was broken by me, although they sued the wicked people first and escaped, in the panic, Li failed to take the medicine in time.
In fact, no one will notice that the dregs are dumped as usual, but some people are thieves and are worried that someone will find clues from them, so they dump them in a hidden place under the flowers and trees. Even in a panic, he didn't pay attention to a piece of porcelain, and he couldn't live for his own sin! ”
Everyone didn't want to have such a reason behind it, and there was dirt and dirt in the Meng Mansion. Wang Yan finally understood the reason for Lin Zhao's confidence. If you don't know a little bit of the inside story, it's really hard for others to find a clue.
Lin Zhao continued: "Without taking medicine, Li was lucky to think that it was fine, but he didn't want to be really pregnant. The belly will get bigger day by day, and if it is not dealt with in time, it will not be able to cover it for a long time. It's a pity that the child's father hid and didn't show up until yesterday's birthday banquet, when he had a chance. Presumably, when the two of you left the table, you went to a secluded place to discuss countermeasures!
Elsewhere, they were worried about being discovered, so the two went back to the small courtyard. It just so happened that the son went back to the room to pick up the article and found out that the two of them were reluctant! If the matter is revealed, a man and a woman will be ruined, so they don't do anything, and in desperation, they take the candlestick and stab at the son. Childe studied hard all the year round, his body was thin, he couldn't resist it, and he was killed.
The analysis is reasonable, very vivid, and the situation is well restored, and everyone has a clear context in their hearts.
"Originally, the murderer could not escape responsibility, but it happened that Miss Meng arrived at this time. Speaking of which, I also blamed on me, when I found that the dog man and woman were quite puzzled after leaving the table, and Miss Meng noticed it, presumably she wanted to follow to find out, but she didn't want to become someone else's scapegoat. ”
Lin Zhao paused slightly, and continued to analyze: "The murderer was in a panic at the time, and when Miss Meng arrived, they just wanted to avoid it for the time being. I don't want Miss Meng to scream and attract everyone, and I can't escape. The murderer is also smart, and it can be regarded as a quick and wise person! It was still the wicked who sued first, confessed and perjured, despicably framed Miss Meng, slandered her for murdering her brother, and wanted to put Miss Meng to death.
What a strategy! Kill two birds with one stone! ”
Lin Zhao seemed to praise, but the coldness and anger in his words made people feel cold all over his body! Then he said: "The pregnancy, which was originally the most headache, has become a turning point and cover." The cheating said that Gongzi did go back to the house, and the time was right, once Meng Gongzi went, there was no proof of his death.
The son of the slut's womb is rightfully the hope of incense, and the old lady, including the old lady, will love and trust, and the testimony will be credible. The Meng brothers and sisters are dead and wronged, and the Meng family's business will fall into the bag as a matter of course, and it is a good calculation to count birds with one stone! ”
Chen Xuan said coldly: "Are you finished?" Say a lot, it's all your guesses and inferences, what about the evidence? It seems that not all of the evidence you have listed before is ironclad, and there are many loopholes, which may be completely coincidental. ”
Lin Zhao said: "What is the motive for calculating and framing Miss Meng?" Why did you both commit perjury? Put a few things together, can you make it clear? How else to quibble? Roll up your sleeves and see what's on top of your arms? ”
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Xuan did not dare to disobey, and there was a slight bruise on his left arm. Lin Zhao said: "Do you want to compare it and see if there is any similarity with the scar on Gongzi's arm?" "Everyone saw it clearly, and it really looked like it was caused by a collision in a fight.
Chen Xuandao: "This is also evidence? I accidentally collided, and it just happened! ”
"There are so many coincidences in the world!" Lin Zhao sneered!
Wang Yan and Shao Wenquan were a little anxious, this is indeed the case, and everyone fully believes it. However, in terms of legal theory, if there is no absolute ironclad evidence, there are indeed some flaws in trying to decide the case.
Old Madam Meng was already full of suspicions, and she needed a definite answer now. Li and Xiao Tao are full of luck, and if Lin Zhaoruo can't come up with ironclad evidence, he may be able to escape.
At this moment, he said excitedly: "Brother Lin, your fist is open!" In the alternating ice compress cooling and hot water soaking, due to the thermal expansion and contraction, Meng Ruogu's right fist finally loosened. Lin Zhao and the two of them carefully broke a gap, and the nails deeply embedded in their palms were pulled out, revealing a short blue silk thread at the top.
Lin Zhao's solemn color suddenly stretched out, and he turned around and said, "Chen Xuan, you are dead!" ”
Chen Xuan and Li both chuckled in their hearts, could it be that he really found any evidence?
Wang Yan was also overjoyed and looked up. I saw Lin Zhao raise the bamboo tweezers, holding a blue silk thread, and said, "Everyone saw it just now, this silk thread was found from the child's fingernails." Childe held it in his hand before he died, obviously with great meaning, he was telling us information about the murderer. ”
Then he looked at Chen Xuan easily and said, "A blue silk thread, see it clearly!" I remember that yesterday you seemed to be wearing a royal blue silk shirt, why is the silk thread on your clothes in the hands of Meng Gongzi? ”
Chen Xuan was suddenly a little panicked, and said hesitantly: "Maybe it's someone else's!" I'm not alone in the blue......"
"Do you want to go to your house immediately and search for clothes and compare them?" Lin Zhao chased after him!
"What if it's mine? Maybe it was when I came into contact with Brother Wakaya before! "Chen Xuan is already iron-hearted, and he will not die until the Yellow River.
"Is your coincidence really Doha? Meng Gongzi's nails are not smooth, there are fresh rough chips, which should be damaged in the fight, and it is precisely because of this that the silk thread on the murderer's shirt is hung, which shows that there is a providence in the underworld, and the sky net is magnificent and negligent! ”
"Good for you Chen Xuan!" Old Madam Meng was furious, she was already convinced of this! Lin Zhao's analysis is meticulous, and now all the clues are gathered together, and the indisputable facts are in front of him.
Shao Wenquan said: "Chen Xuan, you are also a scholar, and you don't want to do such a depraved and ruthless thing!" ”
"My lord, I have wronged ......"
"The facts are all in front of you, how can you quibble!" Shao Wenquan shouted, the servants at the prefectural and county levels had already stepped forward, surrounded Chen Xuan, and prepared to take it!
At this point, it was impossible to deny it, and Chen Xuan was greatly frightened. I didn't expect a silk thread to become fatal ironclad evidence, and I didn't expect it to die in the hands of Lin Zhao, this is called a hatred in Chen Xuan's heart! In a hurry, he pointed at Li and said loudly: "It's all her, it's all her who seduces me...... Meng Ruogu wasn't killed by me, it was her...... It was she who murdered her husband......"
Lin Zhao said coldly: "If you have the courage to do it, you don't have the courage to admit it, but you actually find a woman to shirk your responsibility, a bad seed!" ”
The Li family was already six gods and no master, and Chen Xuan bit so indiscriminately, wanting to shift the responsibility to her, which made her even more frightened. The "Song Criminal Code" clearly stipulates that the murder of one's husband is a heinous crime and a crime that must be killed.
Maybe it was frightened, maybe it was to deny the charge, Li immediately lost control of his emotions and shouted: "You also want me to be a scapegoat? What are you approaching me for? Isn't it just plotting the wealth of the Meng family? Who told me that if I killed the Meng family brothers and sisters with two birds with one stone, I could take over the family business logically? Who is it? Who is ......?"
In this way, the fact that the two of them committed a crime is further proved. It had been deduced that the murderer was a man before, so Chen Xuan couldn't deny it anyway. The errand officer immediately stepped forward and took down the three prisoners, Chen Xuan, Li and Xiao Tao!
Wang Yan let out a sigh of relief, and in less than two days, Lin Zhao solved the case, and if he really didn't see the wrong person, his father could enter Bianjing with peace of mind.
Shao Wen is also quite satisfied with the whole book, but it is inevitable that there are some regrets. I knew that there was such a detective master, so why should I push it to the government? Great achievements and fame have been given to others! But he completely ignored that it was the prefect of the people's king, who knew the talents!
Chen Xuan and a few people were escorted away, and Mrs. Meng watched from a distance, with tears in her eyes! How do you know that the candidate for the grandson-in-law who admires is such a despicable and vicious person, and the gentle and virtuous granddaughter-in-law is actually a yin baby slut, she is really old and confused, blind! almost killed her only granddaughter because of this, and what made her even more sad was that the Meng family's incense was broken......
Lin Zhao sighed lightly, this fact is indeed too cruel to Mrs. Meng, but it can't be said otherwise, alas! I hope the old man can hold on strongly. As he sighed, he suddenly heard a low sobbing voice behind him. When I turned around, I saw Meng Ruoying standing at the door, hiding her face and crying......
