Chapter 353: The Abandoned Son
Yan Rufeng came up and hugged Master Yan, and Master Yan stretched out his hand to the chair next to him and motioned for Qin Shuyao to sit down.
Qin Shuyao thanked him, and he was not polite, although he was the youngest here, he was the highest in terms of official position and status.
Yan Rufeng sat opposite Qin Shuyao, this man who was standing for a long time has always been reluctant to look at Qin Shuyao, and he doesn't know why.
However, Qin Shuyao didn't mind, because after a while, there would be a time when he raised his head to look at him.
Master Yan sat beside Qin Shuyao, and there was a small desk between the two, and a maid came from the side and put the tea on the table.
"Lord Qin, please speak."
Master Yan motioned for Qin Shuyao to drink tea.
Master Yan is close to the age of six, his hair and beard are not all white, it is said that he has been working weekdays, and his energetic appearance looks very generous among businessmen.
But as soon as his son had an accident, he seemed to be a whole person, and now he really looks like an old man.
"Master Yan, here's the thing."
Qin Shuyao took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, put on a serious face, and began to tell Master Yan and Yan Rufeng stories about Yan Shao.
"First of all, this official expresses great regret for Yan Shao's death." Qin Shuyao, with an official tone, first routinely expressed his condolences to the family of the deceased.
"Secondly, for the real culprit in the case, we arrested a guard earlier, and we also found evidence to prove that he killed Yan Shao."
Qin Shuyao said expressionlessly about this part of Du Lingsheng.
"It is said that this guard has a salary dispute with Yan Shao, do you know about this matter, Master Yan?"
Hearing what Qin Shuyao said, Master Yan was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking.
Qin Shuyao was very patient, so he waited for Master Yan to finish thinking.
"Impossible!" Master Yan denied Qin Shuyao's doubts about this, "It is impossible for Wu'er to owe the guards their wages. ”
"You must know that among the guards, Wu'er has always had a high evaluation, and the main reason is that he never deducts the wages of the guards around him!"
"But the guard's motive for killing happened to be because he didn't pay a reward." Qin Shuyao said expressionlessly, "That guard has little language, and apart from this contradiction, he has not had any other contact with Yan Shao. ”
"Although he has always been resistant to admitting to killing Yan Shao, we finally found a way to get him to sign the pledge."
"It's just that the night before he was about to behead him in the street, he pried open the chains in the prison, hit his head on the iron railing, and committed suicide in fear of sin."
After Qin Shuyao said this, he didn't say a word again, but waited for the reaction of Master Yan and Yan Rufeng.
"Your Excellency is saying that the prisoner who killed Wu'er committed suicide in fear of sin, right?" Old Man Yan seemed to have digested Qin Shuyao's words after a long time, and said with some trembling.
Putting the teacup in his hand back on the desk, Qin Shuyao looked at the two people in front of him expressionlessly, and nodded yes.
This seems to be the end of the case.
"What the hell are you doing?" Before Master Yan could say anything, Yan Rufeng took the case.
"If he dies in prison, what shall we use to comfort my brother's spirit in heaven?"
Facing Yan Rufeng's reaction, Qin Shuyao only slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "Yan Dashao, don't worry, there are still a lot of things that this official hasn't said." ”
At this time, Master Yan and Yan Rufeng looked at each other with a look that made Qin Shuyao look right.
"Later, we continued our investigation along the body." What Qin Shuyao said next was unexpected by the two, "Although something else was found." ”
"All the evidence we got about this guard's crime was fake."
Qin Shuyao's words were like thunder, slashing on the heads of Master Yan and Yan Rufeng.
"What, what?" Master Yan panicked all of a sudden, and the hand holding the teacup began to tremble, and even the water from the teacup was spilled on his precious robe.
"What Lord Qin said is that in fact, that person is not the real murderer of my son?"
Master Yan's shock seemed to be a little exaggerated, but there was nothing wrong with thinking about it carefully, originally when he learned that the murderer had been caught, Master Yan almost cried out with excitement.
Although Qin Shuyao couldn't judge whether Master Yan's sorrow was true or false.
Under normal circumstances, when a family member is killed and the government arrests the wrong person, Master Yan should show anger, but there is only sadness on the face of Master Yan in front of him.
"Could it be that the murderer is still at large?" In contrast, Yan Rufeng's attitude was more normal.
"A few days ago, I said that the murderer must be the guard, but now I have changed my words, saying that the guard was wronged, and next time I want to say that my brother committed suicide?"
Qin Shuyao seemed to have expected him to have such a reaction, he slowed down his tone, and said softly as if to soothe a crying child: "Don't worry, the real murderer has been found by us." ”
After selling for a long time, it is now the time when the real bombshell is taken out and put on the table.
At this moment, Qin Shuyao did not give the person in front of him any chance to speak, and immediately seized the initiative to speak, and began to tell about his investigation and evidence collection.
"In fact, before it was judged that the guard was the murderer, the government was already suspicious of the evidence found."
"Later, under our verification."
When Qin Shuyao said this, he took out a few pieces of paper from his shirt and placed them in front of Master Yan.
"Although it was only the oral account of the witnesses, all the people who said these words signed and were willing to vouch for their reputation."
Master Yan picked up the few pieces of paper that Qin Shuyao had put on the table, and looked at them carefully in front of his face, while Qin Shuyao looked directly into Yan Rufeng's eyes, smiled crookedly, and began to tell the things he had investigated one by one.
"This guard was regarded as the real murderer, it was deliberately done by the real murderer, and this guard was also unlucky, after what he did in a few days was manipulated, it seems that it really became what he did."
Qin Shuyao took the few pieces of paper signed and signed from Master Yan's hands and put them back into his clothes, and the rubbings on the other few account books were taken out and placed in front of Master Yan.
Looking at what Qin Shuyao took out, the expression on Old Man Yan's face became more and more nervous, so that he became angry.
Sitting opposite the two, Yan Rufeng didn't know what was going on, but Qin Shuyao's look at him made him very uncomfortable.
"Our real culprit forged the amount of rat poison that the guards bought, and also forged the confessions of the people around the guards."
"But the real murderer doesn't seem to have imagined that the confession he paid for would get the real truth when another person paid more money."
When Qin Shuyao said this, his face looked like a fox, and his eyes were staring straight at Yan Rufeng.
Yan Rufeng saw Qin Shuyao's eyes, and slowly realized that something seemed to be wrong.
Obviously, the hands held on the armrests of the Taishi chair had begun to tremble, and the palms of his hands were completely sweaty, but there was no reflection on his face, and he even shook his sleeves and buried his hands in it.
"I don't know what Lord Qin has been looking at the grass people, what is the cost?" Yan Rufeng didn't know what kind of evidence Qin Shuyao had found, but he boasted that everything was done cleanly, and asked out loud without care.
"Could it be that Lord Qin suspects that I killed my brother?"
Qin Shuyao smiled and said nothing.
Yan Rufeng sneered, but did not continue to look at Qin Shuyao's eyes, but moved his gaze to other places.
"In this state capital, who doesn't know that my brother and I are brothers and sisters, inseparable, you have to be practical in handling the case, why should I kill my brother?"
Qin Shuyao still didn't speak, just looked at Yan Rufeng, smiling without showing his teeth, but in those peach blossom eyes that were originally filled with spring water, he couldn't see any warmth.
"Rebel!"
Master Yan stood up suddenly, and threw the ledger rubbing in his hand on Yan Rufeng's face.
"My family treats you as your own, and you are actually plotting against my own son behind your back!"
Old Man Yan roared, and began to turn his head left and right to look for things around him, as if no matter what he found, as long as he touched his hand, it would smash it into Yan Rufeng's face.
Yan Rufeng hurriedly dodged, and kept shouting: "Uncle! He's slandering me, uncle! Trust me! ”
The uncle and nephew jumped around, but Qin Shuyao sat next to him as if nothing had happened, leaning on the chair leisurely, holding the tea he had served him when he first came in.
"It's still the top Baihao silver needle, the Yan family will really enjoy it......"
What Qin Shuyao handed to Master Yan was not only Yan Rufeng's account book, but also the oral testimony of several false witnesses, and even a letter that was quietly found in the room of the young master of the Jing family about Yan Rufeng hiring them to kill Yan Shao.
No one knows how this letter was kept, probably because the young master of the Jing family always felt that the matter would be revealed one day, and he could use this letter to prove that there was someone behind him.
Even, Qin Shuyao followed the investigation of the acquaintances of the Yan family and found the oral testimony from the maid and the nurse who had left.
Qin Shuyao was not afraid that Master Yan would suspect that he was cheating, because when looking for these maids and people related to the Yan family, Qin Shuyao asked them to prove their identities by saying a certain part of the scenery of the Yan family's house or the things that impressed the Yan family the most at that time.
Because they asked different people, but the matter was the same thing, and Qin Shuyao also found someone and wrote down what they said word for word.
There are many people here who are known to Master Yan himself, and Master Yan also has a certain number in his heart about how these people are doing.
What's more, Qin Shuyao himself is a rigorous and serious person to the extreme, and there is no conflict of interest between the government and the Yan family, so Qin Shuyao has no reason to blame Yan Rufeng for this case.
What's more, there is another piece of evidence that Yan Rufeng can't escape at all.
That is, when Yan Rufeng was looking for someone to blame Du Lingsheng, he accidentally left fragments of clothes in Du Lingsheng's house that only the Yan family had.
Although I don't know which family member left behind inadvertently, it is enough to prove that someone from the Yan family has entered Du Lingsheng's house.
All the evidence points to Yan Rufeng.
This good brother in front of everyone has been thinking about how to put his younger brother to death since he was a child.
As for the reason, I can only ask him himself.
