Chapter 45: Twists and Turns

And all this, Hu Zhou, who is still in prison, is naturally unaware. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that no one came to visit for a day, and Hu Zhou guessed that things would be very troublesome.

Hu Zhou calmed down and thought about the whole thing, it seems that the weakest point is that the person is obedient, but the other party must have made all preparations for him, so Hu Zhou is convinced that there is no point in entangling with him on this. Hu Zhou knew that he needed a strong alibi. But he did not have a chance to say these words because no one had come to visit.

He didn't even have to think deeply, he knew that Li Zhi, who was good at lowering ten meetings with one force, was mostly planning how to break into the prison of the Criminal Department, rather than looking for any evidence.

Hu Zhou, who is in prison, is inevitably depressed.

Wei Wuxing withstood the pressure of the Spiegel Division, and Zuo Wei thought that he only needed to wait for the approval of the Holy Lord Zhu, and then he could behead Hu Zhou and close the case, but the next situation made him dumbfounded.

The word came from the Chengmu Mansion, and Xu Cheng said that when the case occurred, Hu Zhou later went to his mansion. If necessary, he can come to the criminal department to testify for Hu Zhou.

Just like Xu Cheng's style, it is straightforward.

Let Xu Cheng come to the Criminal Department to testify? Even Wei Wuxing didn't want such a thing to happen. Although the Criminal Department, which specializes in the arts, is the highest organ representing Lanzi's justice, there is still a gap between it and the Yunbian Grand Butler Chengmu Mansion of the same level.

Then things have become very simple, the same witnesses, on one side is the nobody Gou Shun, on the other side is the city pastor Xu Cheng, who should be believed, or who must be believed, an official of the Criminal Department naturally knows how to choose.

Just like Spiegel Si'an Chaoen, the price Xu Cheng paid for doing this is also huge, because if it is proved that the matter is related to Hu Zhou, then Xu Cheng's almost arrogant behavior is no different from shielding the murderer. Not to mention that his move will offend many people.

Based on this, Zuo Wei's face was ugly when he saw Hu Zhou, "At the time of the crime, you were in Lord Xu's mansion, why didn't you say it earlier?" Because of Xu Cheng's testimony, the Criminal Department had to overturn the case for Hu Zhou, and the fold submitted had to be withdrawn, which slapped the entire Criminal Department in the face, and the initiator Zuo Wei naturally would not give Hu Zhou a good face.

"I said that I was wronged, but the adults didn't believe it." Hu Zhou said. With Xu Cheng's status and status, this alibi can be called perfect, and Hu Zhou said sarcastically.

"So you deserve this jail time." Zuo Wei didn't have a good airway.

However, Hu Zhou didn't want the matter to be settled, "My lord, now that it has been proved that I was wronged, what should I do with the people who swore before?" ”

Zuo Wei frowned deeply, "He's dead." ”

He's dead?

Hu Zhou was stunned, and then realized that only the dead will not continue to be flaws, and this basin of dirty water will naturally be splashed on himself, so it is a foolproof solution.

"Now that you've been acquitted, don't leave quickly." Seeing that he still had time to think about it, Zuo Wei, who had messed up the matter, couldn't help but urge.

Since Hu Zhou was imprisoned, the clothes on his body have been changed into prison clothes, and at this moment, Zuo Wei has no intention of letting him change it, I don't know if he forgot or had the intention of humiliating Hu Zhou. If it is the latter, then with his identity as a servant of the Criminal Department, his strength is inevitably too small.

At the entrance of the criminal department, Zheng Fusheng cheered. Mu Qian and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, it's always good not to take risks.

Hu Zhou was dressed in a white prison uniform, looking at the traffic on the street, covering the dazzling light with his hands, and looking like I Hu Hansan was back again.

It was only after they had taken a few steps that an errand suddenly caught up with them and blocked their way.

"What are you doing!" Zheng Fusheng said angrily.

Different from Zheng Fusheng's questioning, Li Zhi stood straight in front of Hu Zhou, and if he took another step forward, he was about to make a move.

"With new testimony, Hu Zhou can't leave for the time being, and he has to go back to the criminal department with us for trial." The errand officer didn't care about Li Zhi's attitude. Resist arrest? At the entrance of the Ministry of Justice, can you still turn out the sky?

"May I ask who the new ID is?" Hu Zhou frowned and asked, with new testimony, of course there will be new witnesses. Dead people don't speak.

And this witness was able to overturn Xu Cheng's testimony, which can be seen. Hu Zhou's mind turned sharply, if it was really a mountain that could not be moved, Hu Zhou, who had already been in prison once, would not sit still, and he would have to take risks. At the gate of this majestic mansion, an escape plan with a slap in the face was staged.

"It's the steward of Lord Xu's mansion." Hu Zhou would also know about it when he was interrogated, so the officer didn't want to hide it from Hu Zhou.

At this point, things finally took a turn and turn.

It turned out to be him?

Hu Zhou asked himself if he didn't have a good relationship with him, but he couldn't talk about hatred, not to mention that he stood on the opposite side of his master for some trivial things, which was obviously unwise and not even rational.

So maybe the problem Xu Cheng is facing is more difficult than he imagined.

Maybe it's the friendship of noodles, Hu Zhou is willing to believe that Xu Chengmu, who has gone from poverty to the present, must have experienced a lot of difficulties, and under the premise of having Li Zhi as a barrier to stay in Qingshan, Hu Zhou is willing to gamble with him.

Unlike last time, whether Zuo Wei wants it or not, a case has already attracted the attention of the Spiegel Division and the Chengmu Mansion, and it is to try Hu Zhou in this way, no longer in the inner hall, but in the lobby.

Xu Cheng arrived as promised.

Although everyone felt that it was more appropriate for him to avoid suspicion at this moment, because even if he revised his evidence now, it would be too ugly, but Xu Cheng still came.

In the lobby, Xu Cheng and Hu Zhou did not communicate from beginning to end, not even making eye contact.

"Hu Zhou, do you admit guilt?" Zuo Wei's first question is not even a routine.

"My lord, I am wronged below." Hu Zhou replied as seriously as ever.

"I can prove that he was wronged, and when the case was discovered, he came to my house to return the book. Without a motive, he didn't even have time to commit the crime. ”

Everyone didn't expect that under such circumstances, Xu Cheng still said such a thing. And said it so abruptly, saying that before Zuo Wei asked, it represented Xu Cheng's firm attitude.

After speaking, Xu Cheng calmly stepped aside.

But what is supposed to come will come.

When Qin Yong walked into the lobby, Xu Cheng's expression was flat. Qin Yong bowed down to Xu Cheng and saluted him, with a very respectful attitude.

The conversation between Zuo Wei and Qin Yong was also very simple, very much like worrying about Xu Cheng's face, "This official asked you, what time did you say Hu Zhou came to return the book?" ”

"Go back to my lord, because my lord was still feasting at that time, and he was the old slave who received Hu Gongzi, and it was about a moment at that time."

The time of Fang's murder inferred was between Shen Shi and Youshi, a difference of two hours, and Xu Cheng's statement that Hu Zhou did not commit the crime is certainly not valid.

"There is Gou Shun's indication, Lord Xu was almost deceived by you, Hu Zhou, don't you still admit your guilt?!" Zuo Wei hit the railway while it was hot.

"Lord Zuo, the official was not deceived by him, and the official didn't believe that someone could kill someone an hour ago, and he could continue to talk and laugh with the official! Based on the one-sided words of only one person, Lord Zuo is not afraid to make a hasty judgment like this? "Unlike calling me at the beginning, Xu Cheng called himself his official at this time, and said unhappily.

I really want to say that the Criminal Department decided the case, and still used your city pastor to point fingers? But Zuo Wei just thought about it.

"If you say one-sided words, what Lord Xu said is not also one-sided, not to mention that Lord Xu's one-sided words almost caused great misdirection to the judgment of our Criminal Department." The one who can speak like this is, of course, Wei Wuxing, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
