Chapter 0162 [The Wicked Sue First]
Duan Fei realized, Zhou continued: "When I woke up in the morning, my husband was not around, I knew that he had gone to gamble again, and when he came back that day, he looked stupid, and he could only say one sentence in his mouth, and it was over...... It's over......"
Zhou sobbed again, Duan Fei sighed secretly, this Zhou Deng must have sold his wife in the middle of the night this day, and lost all his money again, people who are addicted to gambling will never stop unless they lose their lives.
Zhou continued: "That day, the husband didn't eat anything, he kept lying on the bed, like he was stupid, someone knocked on the door in the evening, Zhou An went to open the door, and then came in and told the husband that it was someone in the Wang family who was looking for him, and the husband went with him in despair...... Frightened by madness, he comforted me and said that the hard days were over, he had come to my senses, and in the future Ah Lang and I would live a stable and good life, he said that a friend who had passed his life paid back the money he owed, and asked me to go next door to borrow ten taels of silver to buy some wine and food to greet the guests, I saw that he was in a terrible shape, I didn't want to go away, but I didn't expect him to be furious, and he was going crazy again, I had to go, to Aunt Wu's house, I was ashamed to open my mouth to borrow money, and after a while, there were two screams from the house......"
Duan Fei finally sorted out the changes in Zhou Deng's life and mentality a few days before his death, and he already knew about the next things from the confessions of Aunt Wu and Zhou An, so he didn't need Zhou's detailed description, so he said: "Mrs. Zhou, I already know about other things, do you remember the scene of the crime?" Was the furniture in the room messy at that time? What is the distribution of blood stains in the room? How did Zhou An hold Zhou Deng at that time? Where is Zhou Deng's face and feet? Also, where are the two scars on Zhou Deng's body? ”
Under Duan Fei's detailed questioning, Zhou suddenly felt as if she was back in that terrible scene, she trembled with horror, Liu Qingyun hurriedly hugged her tightly, and looked up to Duan Fei and said, "My lord, aren't these details described in detail in the report?" ”
Duan Fei said in a deep voice: "Even the dignified and second-class Imperial Envoy of the Imperial Court has been bought by the Wang family, will there be any omissions in the Suzhou Mansion Yamen?" Cai Chengzuo's corpse and the case file of Suzhou Mansion are written in detail, but I don't believe it very much, Cai Chengzuo has also been dead for almost two years because of this incident, and it is conceivable that the report must be full of suspicions, so I will ask the parties in detail, hoping to find clues to rehabilitate Zhou An. ”
Zhou nodded and said, "I understand, I was stunned when I rushed home with Aunt Wu, when Zhou An was holding her husband, who was facing the door, and her feet were stretched out...... The husband grabbed Zhou An's chest and shouted before he died of rage and ...... on the ground There is very little blood on the ground, only some where the husband fell to the ground, but there is a lot of blood on Zhou An's body, the entire chest is almost full of blood, and there is blood on his face, his hands, and he is still holding a bloody knife in his hand, the situation at that time makes people have to believe that he is the murderer......"
"Are there any signs of struggle in the room?" Duan Fei asked.
Zhou shook his head blankly, nodded again, and said, "There are two dwarf piers, and the others ...... Nothing else seems to have changed. ”
Duan Fei took out a piece of paper, took it to Zhou's front and unfolded it to her, and said, "This is a sketch I made, if there is anything wrong, you can just say it." ”
This is a three-dimensional sketch of the master bedroom of the Zhou family drawn by Duan Fei with a quill, which is very simple, because Duan Fei has never learned to paint, but Zhou immediately shuddered when she saw the sketch, she subconsciously closed her eyes, and after a while she tried to open her eyes and look, seeing the scene that appeared in the dream I don't know how many times, Zhou couldn't help but be stupid.
After looking at it for a while, Zhou raised his hand, pointed to the picture and said: "The house was much more chaotic than this, there was a basket missing in this picture, and there was a small wooden dog that Ah Lang loved to play with on the ground......"
Zhou said in detail, and Duan Fei slowly improved the scene according to what she said, until Zhou couldn't say anything new, Duan Fei put away the picture and said: "Very good, Mrs. Zhou, you have done a good job, don't think about the case for the time being, I will make proper arrangements and try my best not to summon you to appear in court, but I am not 100% sure, because the three divisions will interrogate, only Lord Qian, who is the presiding judge, has not been bought." ”
Zhou said firmly: "I'm not afraid, as long as I can clear Anzi's grievances, as long as I can let Wang Shiyong go to hell, I'm not afraid of anything!" ”
Duan Fei nodded, and said to Liu Wei and Liu Qingyun: "If you have any needs here, you can call someone to inform me at any time, and take good care of Mrs. Zhou for me, I hope that the matter can be solved perfectly as soon as possible." ”
Duan Fei walked out, heard the sound of hurried footsteps from behind, looked back, and saw Liu Qingyun coming quickly, she came to Duan Fei and saw him looking at her, her face was slightly hot, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, Zhou An, ...... How is he doing now? ”
Duan Fei thought of Zhou An's twisted legs, his heart sank, and said: "His condition is not very good, but his life is fine, and he should recover after the case is resolved." ”
Liu Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I'm relieved to ......" said that her tears suddenly welled up, and said: "My sister always thought that she had affected me, but in fact I had affected her, three years ago in the spring, I asked Zhou An to go out, it was that time I met Wang Shiyong, so many tragic things happened, when Wang Shiyong blocked the road and teased me, Brother An pushed him away and reasoned with him, but he was beaten by Wang Shiyong called the family, and the next day Wang Shiyong sent someone to the door to propose marriage, and was rejected by my father, Since then, Wang Shiyong has only begun to design and frame the Zhou family, and I am to blame......"
Duan Fei said: "Don't think like this, it's not your fault, if Wang Shiyong was just an ordinary rich businessman, he wouldn't have done so much, it was with his uncle's power that he would do this kind of thing without scruples, go back, take good care of Mrs. Zhou, she needs someone to accompany her now." ”
Liu Qingyun took a step back and turned around, she said faintly, "I don't know...... Sister Wei, she is so strange, she doesn't want me to accompany her, and she rarely sheds tears, she ...... I didn't tell me for so long that I was stupid, I was really scared by myself......"
"I'll let Rong'er accompany you in a while, don't worry, it's safe here." Duan Fei comforted Liu Qingyun and said: "Mrs. Zhou is very fragile now, what you see is only her strength on the surface, you have to accompany her more, talk to her, don't let her stay alone." ”
Liu Qingyun left, but Duan Fei's mood was very depressed, and he also saw Zhou's situation, Zhou's calmness and strength made people worry and worried, but Duan Fei had no choice.
Duan Fei went to visit Aunt Wu and the Cai family's mother and son again, and seeing their worried and frightened looks, he wanted to close the case as soon as possible.
That night was still fine, the next morning Duan Fei took people to the criminal department again, this time no one dared to stop him, just as soon as the trial of the case Dali Temple Lord Xue began to make it difficult, he arched his hand to Qian Rujing and said: "Lord Qian, this case has dragged on for several days, do you want to summon witnesses?" Otherwise, it should be sentenced, right? ”
Qian Rujing glanced at Duan Fei helplessly, and said, "Okay, I'm going to summon witnesses, suspend the trial for the time being, and then notify the date of promotion after the witnesses are in place, and leave the court." ”
"Wait!" A person came out of the people who heard the trial in the hall, and after taking two steps forward, he knelt on the ground, bowed to the three adults in the hall, and said loudly: "Xiaguan Suzhou Mansion arrested He Yong, Suzhou Mansion heard that the three divisions would try Zhou An's case, so they made preparations in advance and notified the witnesses to prepare to follow the summons, but I didn't expect that when the officials went to inform the witnesses yesterday, they found that in addition to the head arrest of Qi Gu in the house, the family of the witness Aunt Wu was missing, and the wealthy businessman Wang family of the house came to report the case. Only the two concubines of the master of the Wang family were robbed, one of whom was the wife of the deceased in this case, and we suspected that someone had deliberately robbed the witnesses and interfered with the case of the three divisions, so the prefect of Suzhou, Lord Wu, sent me and Qi Gu to remind the adults who tried the case not to be deceived and misjudged the case. ”
"And such a thing? The robber was too arrogant. Lord Xue slapped the shocked wood hard, and shouted: "You said that you brought Qi Gu, the only witness at present, and now you can be in the hall?" Bring him up, and the adults have something to ask him. ”
