A person is in despair, pessimism, guilt, numbness...... and so on, often inadvertently close their hearts.

Du Cheng is obviously in such a state.

Therefore, no matter how Nie Hongshu interrogated and persuaded him before, he did not speak.

To put it simply, it is to put a heavy shackle on the soul.

And Gu Ming's exit chapter had a magical effect at this moment, as if a key had opened the shackles of this soul.

Coupled with the words of emotion and reason, Du Cheng's attitude finally changed dramatically, and he no longer had a passive confrontation, but hid his face and cried bitterly.

Just cry.

This means that the pressure in his heart is indeed very high and needs to be released.

After crying for a while, Du Cheng finally began to talk about the case.

But to Gu Ming and Nie Hongshu's surprise, he actually admitted the confessions of those witnesses.

"The arsenic was indeed bought by the villain, and the medicine was indeed fried inside, and she also fed her father to drink......

Nie Hongshu couldn't help frowning: "Huh? What exactly do you mean? Does that mean you and your husband conspired to do this? ”

Du Cheng nodded with a sad face, and shook his head again.

"Maybe it's us...... But, maybe it's not our ......."

"What do you mean and not you? Could it be that there is a third person involved? ”

"Adult, villain now...... I can't tell what's going on, I feel ...... It felt like I was lost in a ghost......"

As soon as he heard the word "ghost", Gu Ming couldn't help but move in his heart, and glanced at Lord Taishan, signaling him not to ask questions first, and then showed his discernment and made a careful observation.

As a result, nothing unusual was sensed.

If a person is possessed by a Yin Spirit, or has been possessed by a Yin Spirit in the near future, it is almost impossible to hide Gu Ming's perception.

After all, his current realm is enough to match the real masters in the rivers and lakes, and his discernment has also been promoted to level 2.

It is almost impossible to be possessed by a ghost and do something you don't want to do.

That's a little weird.

"Two adults, the villain doesn't want to exonerate himself, no matter what the reason, I bought this poison back, and it has nothing to do with the cheap, and I ask the two adults to know it."

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but whisper to Nie Hongshu: "Father-in-law, don't you go to Ji Yao to ask about the situation." ”

"Well, let's go!"

So, Weng and his son-in-law went to the cell where Ji Yao was held again.

The expressions of the husband and wife are the same, they are both in a state of numbness that has no love.

The difference is that Ji Yao didn't say a word, and when she asked her words, she muttered to herself, repeating a sentence: "It's me who hurt my father, it's me who hurt my father......"

Gu Ming can completely sense that this woman is not pretending, nor acting, but an expression of her nature, a state of grief greater than death.

This shows that everything is not from her own heart.

There's something else going on here.

Gu Ming asked for a while as usual, but Ji Yao's answer was similar to Du Cheng's.

"You know your husband bought arsenic and came back?"

"Yes!"

"Who put the arsenic when decoction?"

"The folk girl and the princess put it together...... I can't remember how many times I put it, but I put it in several parts......"

"If you know it's arsenic, why do you put it in the medicinal soup?"

Ji Yao looked confused: "The people's girl...... I really don't know ......."

As soon as he heard this, Nie Hongshu couldn't help but say angrily: "Just now you said that you knew that it was arsenic, so you will say that you don't know?" ”

"This ...... The folk girl means to say, I don't know...... Why do you put it in the soup when you know it's poison......

In retrospect, it seems that at the time it was not regarded as a poison at all, but as a general medicine primer......"

Hearing this, Gu Ming's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "It means that at that time, you husband and wife were a little confused, and everything was like an instinctive action?" ”

"Yes, my lord, that's it...... The folk girl really can't tell what's going on, woo woo woo ......"

Speaking of this, Ji Yao was sad from the bottom of her heart and cried bitterly.

As usual, Gu Ming also used some discernment to carefully probe his body, but he found no signs of Yin Spirit possession, or possession in the near future.

But judging from the performance of the husband and wife, it should not be lying.

In other words, the two of them were like they had fallen into an evil spirit in those two days, and they couldn't control themselves...... In other words, it is controlled by a general mysterious force.

So, in the end, the poisoning was made.

In other words, it was indeed the husband and wife who poisoned Ji Yuan, no wonder they didn't argue.

"Alright, let's do it first."

Gu Ming stopped asking and left the prison with Nie Hongshu.

After going out, he whispered to his father-in-law: "Father-in-law, from the current situation, the poisoner is indeed their husband and wife.

However, the real culprit is someone else, and their husband and wife were just used by special means and became the ones who directly poisoned them. ”

Nie Hongshu nodded: "Well, this is what I've been struggling with, and I don't really believe that their husband and wife would do such a rebellious deed."

It's just that if there is really a real culprit behind the scenes, then this person must not be an ordinary person, how can we find out this person? ”

Gu Ming thought for a while and said, "Since we believe that there is a real murderer behind the scenes, we might as well startle the snake." ”

"Oh?"

Nie Hongshu is not stupid, after all, he is also a dignified person, and he has been a county order for more than a year, and he suddenly guessed Gu Ming's intentions.

"What does the virtuous son-in-law mean is that he deliberately let the wind out and say that someone must be behind the scenes in this case?"

"Yes, in this way, the other party must be restless and don't know where the loophole is, then there will definitely be action, such as finding a way to find out the progress of the case, or secretly doing something to remedy something.

In addition, after the news is released, all the personnel of the Ji Mansion will be summoned to the court for interrogation, and then we will come to observe and see who has a different demeanor......"

"Well, that's fine!"

Nie Hongshu nodded.

Then he said: "When the time comes, I will send more people to Fengqi Town to pretend to be ordinary people and listen to what the people in the town have to say." ”

"Well, that's a good idea, maybe I'll hear some useful clues."

The next day, the news leaked out "inadvertently" from the county government and soon spread all over the streets and alleys.

After all, this case is very sensational, and the people of the whole city are paying attention.

Fengqi Town is not far from the county seat, and after noon, the news spread all over the place......

"I heard that the county magistrate has found a new clue, saying that the real murderer who poisoned Master Ji is not Du Xiucai and his wife, but another murderer."

"Really?"

"It is said that it was passed by someone from the county government, it should be true."

"Alas, I'll just say, how could someone as good as Du Xiucai and Miss Ji do such a hurtful thing?"

"In my opinion, maybe it's the eldest lady of the Ji family......"

"Human life is a matter of heaven, don't talk nonsense......"

"I'm not talking nonsense, didn't you notice that the eldest lady of the Ji family is a little abnormal? In the morning, I also saw her shopping at Zhang's grocery store and smeared rouge......"

"Really? During the period of filial piety, she still has the heart to wipe rouge? ”

"This woman is not a good product, and she disliked Du Xiucai back then...... I went back to my parents' house and dressed like a goblin all day long......"

Just when everyone was talking, not far away, a man who looked like a businessman took out a pen and paper and didn't know what he was jotting down.

Another day passed, and the county government summoned everyone in the Ji Mansion and others.

However, instead of bringing a group of people together for interrogation, they all separated and went to court one by one for interrogation.

Gu Ming was also in court, but he did not participate in the interrogation, but sat in civilian clothes to observe the reactions of the crowd.

With his keen intuition, if the murderer is really in this group of people, I believe he will be able to see a little trace of spiders.

Soon after, Ji Min was taken to court.

When Gu Ming saw this woman, he immediately frowned......

Before, the officials secretly sent to Fengqi Town brought back a lot of comments about Ji Min by the people in the town.

It can be said that the comments are almost one-sided, and they all think that this woman is not a good person.

This is not a prejudice, Gu Ming glanced at it, and saw that this woman's demeanor was a little abnormal.

On the surface, he was sad and sad, his eyes were still a little red and swollen, and he seemed to be still grieving for his father's death.

Unfortunately, a person's natural nature is difficult to hide.

At first glance, Gu Ming faintly felt that this was a restless woman who was unwilling to be lonely.

In the process of answering the inquiry, he kept his head bowed...... Of course, this state is normal, after all, how can ordinary people not be shocked when they go to court?

However, this woman's eyes can be described as quite rich, like the undulating surface of a lake, constantly changing.

"Ji, this official asks you, when your father was seriously ill, you should have served wholeheartedly as the eldest daughter.

But according to the people of Ji's house, you didn't talk about decocting and feeding medicine in those two days, and even your father's sickbed was rare to pass once, what is the reason? ”

"My lord, the people have wronged ......"

Ji Min hurriedly called Qu to plead.

"Because my father was seriously ill, my mother was also very worried in those two days, and she didn't think about tea and dinner. The folk girl was worried about her mother's health, and thought that her sister and brother-in-law would take care of her father, so she went to accompany her mother......"

"Really? Isn't it to avoid suspicion? ”

Hearing this, Ji Min's face changed in shock, and he finally raised his head to look at Nie Hongshu, then quickly lowered his head and asked in a trembling voice, "Minnu...... The folk girl didn't know what the adults meant by asking. ”

"Hehe, do you really don't know or pretend not to know?

Then the official made it clearer, your purpose in doing this may be to have an excuse to choose one after the other and put all the fault on your sister and brother-in-law. ”

"My lord, the people have wronged ......"

"Okay, you don't have to plead any more, the official now suspects that you are also involved in this case, so he will take you into custody first...... Come on, take them down. ”

"My lord, the people are wronged, my lord ......"

The two officials stepped forward and dragged him down the hall without saying anything.

After that, another subordinate of Ji Fu was summoned to the court.

"Who's in the hall?"

"Back to the adult, the villain Yuanqing, is the Ji Mansion Nursing Hospital."

"Nursing home? How long have you been in Jifu? ”

"Back to the adult, the villain came to the Ji Mansion after the beginning of the year, almost four months ......"

Just as Nie Hongshu was interrogating, Gu Ming's eyes towards Yuan Qing became cold.

Some of the fog in my mind began to dissipate, and many doubts began to become clear......
