Chapter 268: Coerced Confession
On that day, the emperor's grandson was traveling in micro-clothes, and his identity was not exposed, so it was naturally impossible to go forward and back with dozens of people, and it was near the capital, so it was not worth worrying about in terms of security, so in addition to the brothers Taisun and King Ding, there was only one escort with him.

This guard's name is Hu Xinheng, from the imperial city Yulinwei, he is still a small leader, he has good kung fu in his hands, he specializes in patrolling the East Palace, and he is not very old, but he gets along with his grandson quite well. When the grandson left the palace, he had to choose a guard to accompany him, and this opportunity naturally fell to Hu Xinheng.
In addition to the victim, there were only three people present, and Taisun and King Ding might not be able to ask much about anything valuable, so this Hu Xinheng became a key witness, and Jiang Yun decided to meet him first.
He first went to the Ministry of Officials, obtained the Great Seal and the inauguration documents, and then went straight to the Criminal Department. The person in charge of receiving Jiang Yun was the director of the criminal department named Xin Gu, who was in his forties, and after seeing Jiang Yun, Xin Gu was obviously stunned, he didn't expect the newly appointed staff to be so young. But why did Jiang Yun come here, his heart was bright, he knew that he was here to put out the fire for the Criminal Department, so he didn't dare to slack off, and led him to go around the Criminal Department.
Because of the case, all the high-level officials of the Criminal Department said that they were sick and took leave, and Jiang Yun, a small foreigner from the fifth grade, became the number one leader. He ordered Xingu to transfer the case file, and looked at it carefully, the content of the case showed in all aspects was not much different from what Jiang Yun knew, and on the whole, it was still biased towards the side of the imperial court.
If Jiang Yun had never been to the Tang family's couple's house, or even seen Tang Xiaoyu's body with his own eyes, he would have felt full of relief. The case is not difficult to judge, according to the evidence shown in the file, Taisun has nothing to do with Tang Xiaoyu's death, he is just Tang Xiaoyu under the influence of drugs, after taking the initiative, he did a wrong thing that a normal man would do.
In this regard, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, the government will generally make no more than three kinds of judgments: imprisonment, fines and compensation, or marrying Tang Xiaoyu with the permission of the Tang family. Now that Tang Xiaoyu is dead, whether it is imprisonment or compensation, it is not a matter for the imperial court. Locked in the palace or locked in a prison cell, the people will not know, and the court is not short of that fine silver, and the matter will be revealed lightly, except for some temporary damage to the reputation, the royal family can be said to be able to get out of the way.
Next is the homicide, Tang Xiaoyu's cause of death was poisoning, and the records after the autopsy have been filed, so who ordered this medicine, who is the murderer, pull it out and cut it to pay for his life, and the case can be closed.
The royal family can't get rid of the sticky hair, so there is no need to pull out King Ding, which makes this case more complicated, in a word, killing Hu Xinheng is a hundred.
Leaving these useless files, Jiang Yun left Xingu and went to the prison of the Criminal Department alone.
The meeting with Hu Xinheng was not smooth, this man in his thirties was extremely stubborn, no matter how Jiang Yun asked, he always insisted on one thing: he caught the person, and he gave the medicine. I don't know anything else.
After thinking about it again and again, Jiang Yun had no choice but to say a promise that even he was not sure much about. "As long as you tell the truth, this official may be able to save your life." He thinks that he has done his duty, this promise is beyond his power, if Hu Xinheng confesses honestly, he doesn't mind spending some effort to help win it.
But Hu Xinheng was unmoved, only shook his head. "No one can save me."
No one wants to die, such an opportunity is easily given up, Jiang Yun began to understand, I'm afraid this thing is really done by him. Tang Xiaoyu has been martial arts since he was a child, although he has not officially started, he should have some self-defense skills in his hands, as far as Taisun and King Ding, who have been pampered and raised in the palace since childhood, they may not be Tang Xiaoyu's opponents, let alone take prisoners.
was just a suspicion before, but now it can be confirmed that Hu Xinheng is right, he is hopeless. A person who has completely lost hope of survival is the trickiest. Jiang Yun had to cut in from a different angle, tried to play the favor card, and lifted Hu Xinheng's parents out, what he said was nothing more than some clichΓ©s.
After a long time, Jiang Yun finally lost his patience, and he said coldly: "You'd better cooperate, otherwise... β
"What? Do you still want to use torture? Hu Xinheng smiled indifferently and said: "I am Yu Linwei, ordinary torture is of little use to me, take a step back and say, even if I can't stand the confession, I can still retract my confession in court when I am interrogated, and the injuries on my body at that time are the best proof." Why bother? β
Jiang Yun looked at him fixedly for a long time, then raised his leg and turned around and walked out. "You'll regret it, I promise."
Hu Xinheng believes that torture methods that do not cause any physical damage do not exist, and this is the most typical fearlessness of the ignorant. But as far as Jiang Yun is concerned, he knows at least a dozen spiritual torture methods.
One of the most direct is poison! Before the crossing, he was a criminal policeman who had been dealing with drug dealers for a long time, and even sometimes had to work part-time undercover, and when he reached his level, each of them was the best drug master. Due to material problems, it may take a lot of effort to produce, but as long as Jiang Yun is willing, it will not be too difficult to make some of them.
There may be people in the world who can survive torture by perseverance, but there will never be anyone who can resist the ravages of drug addiction. As long as he uses it a few times, Jiang Yun dares to guarantee that Hu Xinheng will let go of all his insistence, he will lose all the bottom line that belongs to human beings, crying and begging like a dog, just to taste it again, for which he will do whatever it takes.
Although this is against his principles of life, thinking of Tang Xiaoyu's miserable appearance, Jiang Yunzhen doesn't mind trying it on Hu Xinheng. It's just that time is too urgent, and a result will be judged in the next few days, and he doesn't have much effort to sit back and wait for Hu Xinheng to become addicted, not to mention that finding materials is also a time-consuming thing.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yun finally decided to start with sleep.
He drew a drawing and ordered someone to build a stout wooden frame according to it. Then he placed Hu Xinheng on a wooden frame, tied his limbs tightly, and his back was tightly wound so that he could not move at all, and found a few bamboo sticks, supported his eyelids, and placed the two bright candlesticks flat in front of the wooden frame.
After everything was ready, Jiang Yun asked people to borrow more than a dozen vicious dogs from elsewhere and tied them to both sides of the shelf. The dogs barked incessantly, and the whole prison suddenly became lively.
"That's what you're doing?" Hu Xinheng was disdainful, and even had a smile on his face.
"You'll be recruited, let's see."
On the second day, Jiang Yun arrived at the cell on time, Hu Xinheng's complexion was not bad, and he even had a few idle words to talk and laugh.
On the third day, Hu Xinheng was still able to eat and drink, but his reaction was a lot sluggish in his spare time.
On the fourth day, it was clear that his spirit had dropped a lot, his eyes were dull, and his smile had disappeared.
In the next few days, Jiang Yun did not go to the cell again, but only ordered the jailer to provide Hu Xinheng with good food and drink, and once the vicious dog in the cell stopped barking, he immediately teased it, or found another batch of replacements, and made sure that the dog barked constantly.
While Jiang Yun was waiting leisurely, Tang Zhou and his wife finally arrived in the capital with Tang Xiaoyu's coffin, which was the twelfth day after he took office. When Jiang Yun came to the prison of the Criminal Department again and saw Hu Xinheng's state, he knew that he could be promoted to the court to try the case.
With a dull expression, a haggard face, and blank eyes, Hu Xinheng at this moment looks like a living dead. On the table on one side of the wooden shelf, the two plates of food were placed, but they were not moved, and he could no longer eat.
"Hu Xinheng, when the official asks, you answer truthfully."
"Give... Give me sleep. β
"On the day of the grandson's trip, how many people were in the group?"
Hu Xinheng's face was blank, he didn't think about it, and instinctively replied: "Three... Three. β
"Who else is there besides you and your grandson?"
"Dingwang."
"Tang Xiaoyu was robbed by your own hands, and after being drugged, I will pay tribute to the Lord?"
"Yes ... I took it to captivity, but I didn't drugged it, I just gave it... Tied up. β
Jiang Yun raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "Who did you send it to after tying it up?" β
βγγγβ
"Don't want to sleep?"
βγγγβ
Jiang Yun sighed slightly, the heat was still a little worse after all, if he could stay up for another three or five days, I am afraid that there would be no such resistance. But forget it, that's enough. He turned around and walked out, casually ordering: "Record his confession and prepare for the trial!" β
