Chapter 19: A Simple Case Is Not Simple
Lu Jinping said: "I told you that I am good at solving cases, but you don't believe it, now, please give me a chance to prove my ability." At most, I will crack this case and find out the real culprit, if I can't solve it in an hour, you can go and sue the yamen, what do you think? ”
After Lu Jinping's reminder just now, if it weren't for the last resort, he really didn't want the yamen to interfere in this case, so he thought about it and said: "Since there are only a few people around my daughter, I will definitely be able to find out the real culprit if I torture them one by one, and I don't need you to interfere." - Someone! Call me all the lady and second aunt, as well as the maids and mothers-in-law around the young lady, and I want to find out who the murderer is! ”
Lu Jinping shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside with his hands behind his back.
When these people came, they were all taken aback when they saw the dead dog foaming at the mouth lying on the ground, the third aunt kneeling on the ground, and the old lady staring at them with a blue face, and they all knew what was going on.
Old lady Gao said: "Someone poisoned Miss's food!" It is impossible for outsiders to enter, therefore, the person who poisoned is the one among you, this person has been poisoning Miss, first in small amounts, then in an increase in numbers, and now he is actually going to poison Miss immediately. Say! Who the hell is it? Otherwise, I'll be tortured one by one!" ”
This sentence frightened his two wives and concubines and maids-in-law, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed and shouted grievances.
Mrs. Gao said: "Master, I have been in the house all day today, and I have never been out, how can I poison Miss?" My personal maid Hanyu and several mothers-in-law can testify. ”
Her maid and mother-in-law hurriedly proved that the old lady had not been out of the room all day.
The second aunt also cried and said: "This morning, I knew that after the young lady came back, I wanted to cook two dishes for the young lady to eat in the afternoon, so I took the maid Qiu Ju and Dong Mei to the street to buy vegetables." I was relieved of the dishes I had chosen, and they had been following me, and I had just returned to the house when I was called over. I haven't been in the yard all morning, I can't poison Miss, I'm wronged, sir. ”
Old lady Gao's gaze fell on those maids and male servants again. These people rushed to find witnesses to prove that they had not been poisoned. After some questioning, all of them were able to find relevant witnesses to prove that they had not touched the food or been to the kitchen, and there was no way to poison them.
Old lady Gao was dumbfounded, thought about it, and suddenly remembered something, and ordered the official: "Go!" Call me the kitchen cook and the mothers-in-law who help me with the kitchen. Since it's not these people, it must be just a few of them, hurry up! ”
Soon, after the cook and the old woman who helped the cook were brought in, they saw that so many people were already kneeling on the ground, and they were so frightened that they also knelt on the ground, but they didn't know what was going on.
Old lady Gao said: "Someone poisoned Miss's food and wanted to poison Miss, are there a few of you?" Hurry up and explain, otherwise you will be worse off than dead! ”
Several cooks shouted again and again, saying that they had never touched the food that the third aunt had cooked for Miss Gao before, and that the third aunt had personally made it on the small stove, and they could testify to each other.
Several cooks also testified to each other, and indeed none of them were close to the third aunt's small kitchen stove.
Old lady Gao stared at the third aunt fiercely and said, "Since none of them are likely to be poisoned, now it seems that you may be poisoned!" Say! Why poison your daughter? The front is so well loaded, but it turns out to be a femme fatale! ”
The third aunt trembled all over, sat on the ground with her buttocks, and didn't even know how to tell herself.
Old lady Gao shouted angrily: "Come on, hang this slut for me and beat him!" Until she confesses! ”
Several family members glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to step forward. After all, this is the hostess. Now the old lady said that he would fight, and if he regretted it in the future, he would blame them for offending the hostess, and it would be miserable. looked at the stout women with big shoulders and thick waists.
Old lady Gao also woke up and couldn't ask a man to touch his woman, even if the woman violated the family law and the national law. He immediately pointed to the stout women and said, "You guys, do it, tie up this slut for me, hang it on the beam and beat it!" Hurry up! ”
Several mothers-in-law were relieved to see that the real culprit had been found out, and their suspicions of guilt were cleared, but they were all stunned. However, the old lady gave the order viciously, how dare she disobey it? He pounced on it like a few black bears, and held down the third aunt on the ground, and someone ran to find the rope.
Only then did the third aunt wake up from her extreme horror and screamed miserably: "Wronged! Master, I was wronged! My daughter is the meat of my heart, I would rather cut my heart and liver than hurt a single hair of my daughter! How could I have poisoned my only daughter? Master, I've been wronged! ”
"Fart! What you did before was all for people to see, I just want to know why you poisoned your daughter and killed it? Who instructed it? You've got to be honest with me! - Hang it up and hit me hard! Hit until she says it! ”
The rope was quickly found, and the third aunt was to be tied.
Lu Jinping said loudly: "Don't tie it up yet, listen to me." ”
Of course, those mothers-in-law won't listen to him, and continue to tie up. Old lady Gao glanced at Lu Jinping, thinking that if it weren't for him, his daughter would have been poisoned a long time ago. Maybe he has a different opinion, so it's better to listen to it. So, he waved his hand and said, "Wait, I heard if Lord Lu has something to say." ”
Several mothers-in-law hurriedly stopped and looked at him.
Lu Jinping said: "The person who poisoned was not the third aunt, but someone else. If you beat the third aunt like this, you will definitely be beaten into a trick. Wronged the good guys and indulged the bad guys, if this poisoned bad guy is not really caught, your daughter will still be poisoned by the murderer sooner or later! ”
The latter sentence shocked Old Lady Gao's body. Indeed, this poisoned person is around, if you don't find it accurately and don't dig out the real murderer, it is likely that this person will poison his daughter!
Old lady Gao asked, "Why do you think it's not her?" ”
"It's very simple, everyone has seen it, the food was made by herself, she brought it by herself, if she wants to poison it herself, she will be the first to be suspected, will the murderer be so stupid and so obvious that people will doubt themselves? If it was really the third aunt who wanted to kill her daughter, she had many opportunities, and she didn't need to be poisoned like this without any other conditions that could be shirked. I think the third aunt is still very shrewd, not the kind of person who is stupid to the point of being home. Besides, her true feelings for her daughter in my house these days can be seen to be love from the heart, and this kind of mother-daughter true love can't be pretended. With such feelings, it is impossible to poison your daughter. ”
As soon as she heard Lord Lu help her speak, the third aunt was so moved that she covered her face and knelt on the ground and cried.
The old lady pondered for a moment, thinking that Lu Jinping was indeed very reasonable. In fact, he didn't believe that the third aunt would poison and kill his own daughter, and he couldn't find a reason to explain this. So he nodded and said to Lu Jinping: "In this case, who does the lord think is poisoning?" ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Jinping's mouth and said, "Is Old Lady Gao entrusting me to solve this case?" ”
Old lady Gao originally thought that this case should be easy to detect, after all, the person who poisoned him was around, there would be no outsiders, and if he tortured these people one by one, he would definitely be able to force them out, but all the suspects could clearly say that they had no chance to commit the crime, and there was sufficient evidence to prove this, and the biggest suspect turned out to be the daughter's biological mother, but the biological mother obviously had no motive to kill her daughter. In this way, all the suspects either did not have the time to commit the crime, or they did not have the motive to commit the crime, and this case made Mrs. Gao feel at a loss.
If everyone is really hanged and tortured, then most of them will definitely be tortured but confess indiscriminately, so it is also impossible to figure out who the murderer is.
Now that Lu Jinping has brought up the old words again, he can't help but feel a move in his heart. Since he couldn't find out the murderer, and he didn't want the yamen to interfere in this case to avoid the spread of family scandals, it was better to let Lu Jinping check it. So the old lady Gao nodded and said, "Okay, I implore the lord to help investigate and deal with this case and find out the real murderer!" ”
