374: Pull a homely interrogation!
The wives can leave the palace.
The other wives thought they were walking too slowly, and wanted to stay away from this right and wrong.
Liu couldn't wait to turn back three times in one step.
This is worried about Cheng Qing.
"Brother Qing is an official, he can take care of himself, it's useless for you to worry, go back and wait for news."
Qin persuaded.
Mrs. May said the same.
The emperor has let the wives out of the palace, who dares not to leave?
In the palace, the women must be cautious in their words and deeds, and they must not move around, and Mrs. May is eager to get out of the palace as soon as possible.
Out of the palace, it is better to inquire about the progress of this matter, what happened in the Imperial Palace, but so many courtiers saw it with their own eyes!
Mrs. Mei said that the emperor's appointment of Cheng Qing to participate in the investigation of this case is a trust in Cheng Qing's ability, which is actually a good thing, and the Liu family secretly complained, if Cheng Qing is really a little Langjun, then it is a good thing.
Cheng Qing stayed in the unfamiliar palace, and the Liu family would be worried.
Don't be in any danger with this kid!
……
Cheng Qing originally assisted Xiao Yunting in investigating this matter, but because she took the initiative in front of the emperor, she and Xiao Yunting are not subordinate to assist in the investigation, but jointly investigate.
Xiao Yunting can be the master, and so can Cheng Qing.
Kunning Palace has been sealed, and the outside of the palace is garrisoned by the forbidden army, and no one can enter.
The palace people of Kunning Palace were all transferred to the Shen Penal Division.
This is a palace institution subordinate to the celebrant and is aimed at palace people who violate the palace rules.
The inner supervisor who smashed the phoenix strange stone in the Huangji Palace, and the palace maid Jin Rui, who exposed the queen's disgust with victory, were also transferred to the Shen Punishment Division, and only the four princes and the imperial history who said "Phoenix weeps blood, a bad omen" are in the hands of Jinyiwei.
Meng Huaijin and the five princes are estimated to be on Jinyiwei's side.
Whether it is the Criminal Justice Department or Jinyiwei, the interrogation of suspects is the first to be punished, and after a few heavy punishments, the suspect's courage is broken, and his body really can't bear it, so he will honestly confess.
But Cheng Qing is different, she really wants to find out about this matter and return the queen's innocence, instead of bending to the palace people.
Cheng Qing interrogated all the palace people in Kunning Palace one by one, and recorded the testimony of each of them, not to mention torture, and he didn't even speak harshly.
The people in the Penal Division disagreed.
Cheng Bian looked at his face tenderly, and even his methods were so gentle.
What can this investigate?
Lying is human instinct, and someone will not take the initiative to confess their crimes just because Cheng Compilation's attitude is particularly good!
The people from the Criminal Punishment Division asked Xiao Yunting for help, and Xiao Yunting was expressionless: "Even Your Majesty trusts Master Cheng, if you have anything to question, just do what Master Cheng says!" ”
Cheng Qing asked the people from the Shen Criminal Division to go out first, and only she and Xiao Yunting were left in the room, so she said in a low voice:
"The people in the Criminal Division are questioning me, why is the prince indifferent? Xiao Shizi, I don't know what you want to do, but you mentioned when preparing for the Qianqiu banquet that the queen mother had raised you for two years, I think the difference between humans and animals is that people know how to remember their grace, and the prince can agree? ”
Xiao Yunting's face and all-round style are really God's favorite, and in a filthy and dark place like the Shen Criminal Division, he is still full of luxury.
Extravagance is sometimes not easy to distinguish from arrogance, Xiao Yunting has that kind of deep-rooted arrogance, probably because he always feels that he is smarter than others, and he crushes others intellectually, so he is arrogant?
Cheng Qing said something from the bottom of his heart to him, and Xiao Yunting couldn't tell the difference between joy and anger:
"I naturally want to return the queen's innocence, and it is because of this that this son of the world tolerates your offense. You can investigate your own method if your method doesn't work...... Cheng Qing, opportunities are fleeting, if this case can be handled well, it will be your step forward, if you can't handle it well, you will have to sit on the cold bench. ”
Xiao Yunting did what he said, and really handed over the presiding power to Cheng Qing, but asked Cheng Qing how he would try the investigation.
The Shen Criminal Division didn't object to Xiao Shizi, knowing that Cheng Bian, who had a tender face, was not easy to provoke, so he honestly cooperated with Cheng Qing.
When it comes to the art of witchcraft and disgust, ordinary people can't bear such a big responsibility, Cheng compiled such a stunned young man who is willing to take the blame, they have already dutifully put forward their opinions, and the emperor will not blame the Shen Criminal Division for acting unfavorably afterwards-
Once the Criminal Division is willing to cooperate, Cheng Qing's side will advance faster.
She interrogated the palace people of Kunning Palace one by one, or the palace maid and the inner prison were separated, and called the people of the Shen Criminal Division to record the testimony.
The question is not related to the 'art of disgust', but more of a daily life.
For example, what the queen likes to eat.
What kind of clothing does the queen like.
Do you know if there is any lady in the palace who has said bad things about the queen.
If these questions are still related to this case, it doesn't matter if the palace maid knows if there are any palace people in Kunning Palace, or the whereabouts of a certain palace maid all day today.
Not only did he not have a repeat question, but he even asked what the weather was like a few days ago...... The hands of the Shen Criminal Division are sour, Cheng is sick, where is this arraignment palace people, it is clearly a family affair with them!
Cheng's brain may have been used up in the scientific expedition.
Too young to have any experience in torture.
What can be the result of such a homely interrogation?
Moreover, there are more than 400 palace people in the entire Kunning Palace, and each palace person Cheng Qing is delayed for a quarter of an hour, and more than 400 palace people, Cheng Qing does not eat, drink or rest, and it will take more than 50 hours, that is, four or five days.
Four or five days is to review the palace people, Cheng is not in a hurry, can the emperor afford to wait?
The people in the Criminal Justice Division couldn't understand it.
Xiao Yunting flipped through the dozens of 'confessions' that had been recorded and guessed a few points.
Sure enough, Cheng Qing thought of a two-pronged approach, and she asked Xiao Yunting to be another interrogator:
"If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three times, the son of the world can add problems, and he can mess up the order, if anyone tells a lie, he will have his own clues."
Cheng Qing felt that Xiao Yunting could judge the truth and falsehood, and if he really wanted to return the queen's innocence, he would make good use of his clever mind.
Human memory is biased, every memory, there should be new details, if no matter how many times you ask, the answer is exactly the same, it must be the answer prepared in the morning, directly memorized.
This method was not the first of its kind by Cheng Qing, and it was used by Liu Si of Dali Temple when he went to Nanyi to interrogate Cheng Qing's family.
Cheng Qing is a good student, she learned the method of interrogation from Liu Sizheng, and she also knows a little statistics, so she can better screen out what is wrong with the more than 400 palace people in Kunning Palace.
As for the eight inner eunuchs and palace maids Jin Rui who carried strange stones, Cheng Qing needs to judge them in combination with more detailed background information, which depends on the ability of Jinyiwei.
Xiao Yunting was happy to help with this.
He has always wanted to see Cheng Qing's abilities in addition to scientific research, and this time he should be able to get what he wants.
In front of the Shen Criminal Division, Xiao Yunting asked the palace people who were found to be lying, what to do, Cheng Qing smiled:
"Of course, according to the method of the Prudent Criminal Division, whatever torture equipment should be put on, will I still stop it?"
