"Yang Zhengben?" Liao Wang's confusion when he heard this, and confirmed again and again, "Yang Zhengben? Adults are talking about Yang Zhengben? ”

Wang Zhutou said impatiently: "Of course it's him!" ”

"But he's still a child, how is this—how is this possible?" Liao Wang didn't believe it, in her impression, Yang Zhengben was still a child who sat in her main house more than ten years ago and threw back the meatloaf to eat.

Wang Zhutou said: "He is twenty-one years old this year!" ”

Liao Wang was choked.

"Go back to the Yamen!" Song Ning beckoned, and Liao Wang followed behind, asking, "My lord, no, aren't you coming back?" Do you want to continue to check? ”

Song Ning said: "Check! ”

For Liao Wang's family, she has no urgent or too sad emotions, neither her son killed or died nor her daughter, but what she is worried about at the moment is whether Yang Zhengben, who grew up, is a murderer.

Yang Zhengben is obviously more important to her than who killed Liao Miao's murderer.

She hurried to Yang's house to report the news.

Let's go back to the yamen together. Yang Zhengben did not go to prison, he was imprisoned in the interrogation room, Song Ning pushed the door in, Yang Zhengben sat in the corner, heard the movement and looked up at them, his eyes were gloomy.

"You confessed?" Song Ning asked Yang Zhengben.

Yang Zhengben said: "My lord, I, will I confess my guilt lightly? ”

"No!" Song Ning said expressionlessly, "Tell me, what happened to you." ”

Yang Zhengben hung his head and said, "That's the case." Su Qingniang was born very beautiful, and a few of us bet that if anyone slept with her, they would give each other ten taels of silver, and I was not bad for this amount of silver, but ...... really moved her mind, and Sun Shaowen also pestered her. I don't get along with Sun Shaowen, and I want to snatch what he wants. ”

"So I reported myself to Gongzi Wen, and I mingled with her, and I also slept ......," Yang Zhengben said for a while, and continued, "Later, she wanted to marry me, although my family's courtyard is not very good, but, but I will be admitted to school in the future, how can my wife not know a word, and ...... before marriage"

"There are so many people who know her, and her fame is far and wide. So I deliberately went to Jiangnan to avoid her, and I didn't come back at the end of March of the following year. ”

"I actually went to the birthday banquet, and I also met Su Qingniang again in that bamboo forest. She kept pestering me and stalking me. That day, I went to Penglai Fairy Pavilion for dinner, and she followed in, and when I saw her, I pretended to miss her, so I took her back to the bamboo forest. ”

"That night, she said that she was going to marry me and make me responsible for her, otherwise she would tell her brother."

"I still have to take the entrance examination and go on a career path, and my reputation can't be ruined by her, so that everyone thinks that I have abandoned it from the beginning. So I ...... I covered her with a quilt. When it was almost dawn, he threw her into the woods over there. ”

"Afterwards, I went out of the door for two days before I came back."

"You all know what happened after that." Yang Zhengben said, his tone was always calm.

The room was quiet for a while, and Song Ning asked him, "When did you and Su Qingniang start, and when did you know that she was pregnant?" ”

"We were in the middle of the first year, around mid-May or early June, I don't remember the exact time." Yang Zhengben said, "I know that she is pregnant, yes, before the Chinese New Year, she waited for me in the bamboo hut and told me." ”

"Did you give her a hairpin and a bracelet?"

Yang Zhengben lowered his head and said: "I don't remember which ones have been sent, but there must be a hairpin and bracelet, and maybe clothes and the like, these are not important, and they are not valuable things." ”

"Everyone is playing, I gave her money, but she wants my people, it's not interesting."

Song Ning suddenly asked, "The embroidered flowers on your upper are very touchable?" ”

"Huh?" Yang Zhengben looked at Song Ning.

Song Ning raised his chin at him.

Yang Zhengben has been rubbing a small dark flower embroidered on the upper of his shoe since he began to speak.

"Let the adults laugh, I—I'm a little nervous." Yang Zhengben asked Song Ning, "Have I made it clear, my lord?" What more could you like to know? ”

Song Ning bowed his head and asked, "Is the murder scene in the bamboo house?" ”

Yang Zhengben nodded.

"You're alone?"

Yang Zhengben still nodded: "Yes, I'm alone." ”

"Why don't you bring an entourage to help?" Song Ning asked, "Your entourage can help you." ”

Yang Zhengben shook his head: "This, how can this kind of thing be known to others, knowing that I have a handle in his hands, this will definitely not work." ”

"That's right! Last night, the prince and I followed the purses and hair you found, and you can explain it again. ”

Yang Zhengben said: "My lord, I will kill her alone, and there is no one else." If the adults look at those hairs, it will only ruin their reputation, but cut off their livelihood. He paused, "Can you forget this?" ”

Song Ning squatted down and looked at him, raised his eyebrows and said: "This kind of thing is not something you can say and forget it, if it is really that simple, we will not come here to re-investigate the case five years later." ”

Yang Zhengben looked at her.

"Wang catches the head, give Yang Xiaolian pen, ink, paper and inkstone!" Song Ning said.

Yang Zhengben moved his mouth and didn't make a sound.

Wang Zhutou took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and spread it on the table, the lamp was lit a little, and Song Ning invited Yang Zhengben to sit: "Write, how many people are there in total, name, height, weight, age, hobbies, when it starts and when it ends, you have to write!" ”

"My lord, I don't want to write!" Yang Zhengben held the pen and said, "Even if you cut off my head, I won't write." ”

"If you don't write, you can't do it. It was Su Qingniang who surfaced in this case, but who else is under the water, you say that you don't believe it if you don't have this official! Song Ning leaned closer to look at him, "Do you need time to think?" ”

Yang Zhengben pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, and nodded: "Yes!" ”

"Okay, let's go to work now, give you time to think about it, and we'll come back to see you in the evening. If you have any requests, they will try to accommodate you. Song Ning said.

Yang Zhengben nodded.

Song Ning looked at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi asked, "Do you know Liao Miao?" ”

"Sister-in-law Liao? Know! Yang Zhengben said, "I used to go to Brother Ting's house to play before he got married, but then I went less when he got married." Do you suspect that I killed Sister-in-law Liao? ”

"I don't, I don't lack women, it's impossible to associate with my sister-in-law!"

Yang Zhengben said.

Zhao Yi bowed his head and came out of the room with Song Ning, leaving Lang Feng and Lu Miaomiao to guard together, and asked Yang Zhengben to write the name of the person well, and not to attempt suicide or anything like that.

The two brought Qian Shaoen up.

Because there was no torture, Qian Shaoen's physical condition was not bad, and he was tall and handsome.

He knelt down and kowtowed.

"Qian Shaoen, assuming that you are not the murderer, then what do you think is the most favorable evidence?" Song Ning asked Qian Shaoen.

Qian Shaoen was very excited, glanced at Song Ning, hung his head and said: "The grass people think there are two things, one is that I did drink a lot on the night Liao Miao died, and I met the patrolling militia on the road, if I intend to kill her, there is no drunkenness and being seen." I can completely avoid it. ”

"The second is motivation. She and I had only met once before her accident, and only occasionally. I had no motive to kill her. ”

"And do you have any doubters?" Song Ning asked him.

Qian Shaoen shook his head: "No!" ”

"Yang Zhengben, Yang Ji Yinlou, do you know?"

Qian Shaoen nodded: "I know Yang Ji Yinlou, I am not familiar with Yang Zhengben, but I know his brother, and we used to be classmates." ”

"Did you get into school too?"

"Well, the villain didn't pass the exam twice, and then my family fell into the middle of the road, so I went out to do business, and I didn't study."

Song Ning bowed his head.

……

Yang Zheng was thinking about it, Qian Shaoen asked what was valuable, so everyone chose the backyard of the county government to sit down and talk about the case while having lunch.

Lu Qingqing said: "Otherwise, take Yang Zhengben to the capital for a retrial." ”

Because Su Qingniang's case was handled by Tang Taiwen, it was necessary for them to properly verify this case in order to slap Tang Taiwen's face.

"Go and invite Xue Wen and them all, including Sun Shaowen!" Song Ning said, "I want to know how these people reacted when they knew that Yang Zheng was the murderer. ”

Wang Zhutou personally led people to invite him.

A group of six students stood side by side, all young, each with trepidation and uneasiness on their faces.

"Yang Zhengben was arrested, and admitted that he was the murderer of Su Qingniang." Song Ning looked at the six people, "How do you feel?" ”

After she finished speaking, the six people on the opposite side, except for Sun Shaowen, who had a grudge, all looked suspicious.

"This, how is this possible, Yang Zhengben killed Su Qingniang?" Zhang Dingyun shook his head and said, "This is impossible, there must be a misunderstanding." ”

Wang Zhutou repeated Yang Zhengben's words: "...... Because Sun Shaowen likes Su Qingniang, he pretended to be Wen Gongzi to seduce Su Qingniang, and wanted to win your bet. ”

"After he succeeded, he abandoned her and killed her, these are all her personal confessions, do you really not know at all?"

None of the six people knew. Sun Shaowen said: "Although the student doesn't know, it's not strange that someone like him does anything. ”

Zhang Mao said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, this is a major matter of human life." If he is a murderer, he will cut off his head, has your hatred for him really reached the point where you live and die? ”

Sun Shaowen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you are a man, you have to dare to do it, and it is not me who hurts him, it has nothing to do with hatred." ”

"Why are you like this?!" Xue Wendao, "Do you think he will kill someone?" You touch your conscience and say! ”

Sun Shaowen's mouth moved, but he didn't speak.

"Don't you think so?" Song Ning asked him.

Sun Shaowen was a little reluctant, and nodded sullenly: "No, no, I don't think we are all big treacherous people." ”

"Who is that Wen Gongzi?" Song Ning asked everyone.

Wang Zhutou whispered to Song Ning: "My lord, you can't listen to them, right?" It's useless for them to say no. ”

"I have a few doubts and want to get answers." Song Ning looked puzzled.

She felt that this case should be over when it came to this point. Yang Zhengben admitted that he killed Su Qingniang but did not recognize Liao Miao's case, she did not check the timeline, and even, when she saw the man on the night of the tenth day of Liao Wang's first month, she also did not check the timeline of Qian Shaoen and Yang Zhengben, but intuitively she wanted to believe Yang Zhengben's words.

Liao Miao's case was not done by Yang Zhengben.

Because when Yang Zhengben mentioned "sister-in-law of the Liao family", there was respect in his eyes.

"Sir, do you still have doubts?" Wang Zhutou was also puzzled, Song Ning had been emphasizing from the first day she came here to the present, and she was looking for answers. The case has reached this point, do you still have doubts?

Song Ning looked at Zhao Yi with his head bowed: "Lord Wang, do you still insist that the two cases are serial murder cases?" ”

"Well, I still think so!" Zhao Yi said.

At this point, Wang Zhutou has no evidence but does not want to object, and solving the case is the final result.

But Zhang Mao and the others looked incredulous, and Xue Wen said: "Lord Wang, serial murder? That, that means Yang Zhengben killed a lot of people? ”

"Hmm. He not only deceived Su Qingniang, but also deceived more than a dozen other women. Song Ning said.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Xue Wen said, "Do we know Yang Zhengben?" ”

A few of them couldn't say anything specific, after all, the timeline was very vague, Song Ning was strolling around the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and Zhao Yi said to Wang Zhutou: "It's been so long, Yang Zheng should have written out some information about women, go and get it." ”

"It's just right, ask his classmates and friends to take a look."

Wang Zhutou went to fetch it, and after a while he took a piece of paper and came back with a black face: "Lord, he, he wrote a name, and nothing else." ”

On the paper was the name of a Su Niang.

"Who is Su Niang?" Xue Wen asked his friends, but everyone didn't know.

Song Ning suddenly stopped and asked Xue Wen: "Is there anyone named Wen Gongzi next to Yang Zhengben?" ”

"Around him?" Xue Wen shook his head, "No, right?" Did you know? ”

"I don't know."

"I haven't heard of it!"

"Young Master Wen? I knew I was Gongzi Wen, who else? There are only a few ...... in Luoyang Academy," Sun Shaowen muttered.

"Where's Jean?" Song Ning guided them, and Wang Zhutou was anxious, "No, my lord, do you think Yang Zhengben is not a murderer?" ”

Song Ning waited for Xue Wen to speak, ignoring Wang Zhutou.

Wang Zhutou continued: "Didn't you hear Yang Zhengben playing the piano with your own ears? ”

"Play the piano!" Song Ning suddenly thought of something, walking around thinking about things, everyone looked at her, and suddenly she stopped and asked Xue Wen, "You said that he is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so is the piano good?" ”

Xue Wen shook his head: "No, it's not good." ”

"I see." She was tricked by Yang Zhengben.

He practiced the piano in the middle of the night and went to the bamboo house, all on purpose.

When she got the ebony box, she saw fresh fingerprints on her face under the lamp, indicating that someone had taken it before she got it.

In addition, more than a dozen purses were of different colors, but many of them were very new, and what flashed in her mind at that time was whether Yang Zhengben had been changed or hidden.

Now it seems that everything is working.

"Go and bring him out, in front of his former classmates, let's discuss it together!" Song Ning said.
