Chapter 25: Distress
Gu Jiu pinched his palms tightly, relying on the pain to barely keep himself awake.
The coral red earrings were as red as blood.
Being hung on the peony's already stiff white earlobes made the red a little more infiltrating.
Peony's hair was messy, but because she was on the ground, from the direction of Gu Jiu, it could be clearly seen that she was missing an earring on her right ear.
And where did that earring go—
Gu Jiu took a deep breath, saw that the hall was still arguing fiercely, gritted his teeth and pushed away the crowd, and ran in the direction of Suzaku Street.
She had to make sure she wasn't dazzled yesterday!
At this time, in the lobby, Zhuangzi was already pressed to the ground by the officials, Zhao Zhou obviously didn't expect him to dare to be so presumptuous in the palace, and slapped the shocking wood in his hand: "The court ignores the law of the country, do you dare to splash at will when I am a vegetable market!" ”
Zhuangzi struggled a few times but couldn't move, his eyes were as red as blood, and he said word by word: "Framed, how dare you call your parents officials, and how can you have the face to mention the law of the country!" ”
Zhao Zhou probably saw too many of these people who refused to admit their guilt, snorted coldly, and said, "Okay, since you say so, this official will let you die today!" If you don't recognize the human evidence, then look at the physical evidence! ”
When he had said this, he told him to come and point to the things on the tray, and said, "You must know these, right?" Speak and listen to him. ”
There were a few things on the tray, and he replied without waves: "Lord Hui, this piece of cloth is on the Taoist priest's clothes, and it is held from the hands of the female corpse. The bamboo pole next to it was taken from the body of the female corpse. ”
The rags on the tray looked like the Taoist priest's clothes were locked and torn off, and the dirt on it was also the same as the old Taoist's clothes on the day he was arrested;
As for this bamboo pole......
There are few people in Suzaku Street in the south of the city who do not know this old Taoist priest, who keeps the bamboo pole in his hand all year round and uses it as a blind cane.
Therefore, as soon as the words came out, not only the people in the hall, but even the people who were watching began to talk to each other.
The woman present even blushed and whispered: "Phew, stinky rascal!" ”
Among these two pieces of evidence, the cloth is a little normal, but a bamboo pole taken out of the female corpse really has to make people think about its function.
This old Taoist priest raped and killed people, but he still left such a thing in the body of the peony, it is simply a pervert!
Zhuangzi didn't have to look back, he felt those eyes like mangs on his back, with disgust and hatred. It's just that this is still a court, so those curses are suppressed, but Rao is like this, and it clearly penetrates his ears.
In a trance, he felt that time was turning, just like back then.
The overlap between the memories of the past and the reality made Zhuangzi a little dazed for a while, he was dumbfounded, and said with his last strength: "I have never killed anyone, this is a false accusation!" ”
But no one listened to him.
Zhao Zhou was shocked and made a conclusion about this matter: "The criminal Zhuangzi period, raped and killed the flower girl peony, the evidence is conclusive, and the crime is unforgivable." pressed into death row, three days later, beheaded! ”
Before his words fell, he heard the young man's panicked voice outside: "You are talking nonsense, my master did not kill anyone!" ”
The teenage child desperately squeezed through the crowd and rushed in, his eyes were red and about to drip blood, he struggled to fight with Zhao Zhou in the hall, but before he could get closer, he was already held down by the officials.
Zhuangzi Qi's eyes were originally cloudy, but when he saw the young man, his eyes suddenly widened: "Lin An, why are you here?" ”
"My master is a good person, so he won't kill people, you, a dog official, must have to take money from people to frame my master!"
Lin An's expression was like a wounded little beast, sharp and angry, but he was so young that he didn't even have the strength to fight back.
Zhao Zhou was poked in his secret heart, and he didn't have a good impression of the little cub in front of him, so he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Dare to slander the court officials, come here, and put this little beast in prison with me!" ”
……
At this time, Gu Chao didn't know that there was another Lin An in the palace, and on the way to Suzaku Street, she almost hurriedly urged the coachman, stayed at the place, jumped out of the carriage, and ran to Sanqi Hutong.
As yesterday, the door of the Sun family is still locked.
Seeing the situation inside from the outside of the door, Gu Jiusi glanced down, and when he saw how high the earthen wall was, he gritted his teeth, and finally climbed the wall and struggled to climb up.
When she was young, she was also naughty, taking advantage of the fact that her subordinates were not paying attention, and she also secretly climbed the tree, but the highest thing in the Gu family was the ornamental plum tree, even if she fell down, nothing happened. 77 eBooks
And now that she is getting older, the wall of how tall this person is, makes her legs and stomach weak.
When she jumped in from the wall, Gu Jiu's legs were numb for a moment, she squatted down, rubbed her sore ankles, gritted her teeth and walked in.
The door of the main house was just hidden and not locked.
Gu Jiu had never done anything unsolicited in his life, and now he felt like a thief in his heart.
However, it is better to be a thief than to die without help.
Gu Jiu took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
When Sun Boyin saw Gu Nianlan yesterday, Gu Jiu followed him into his inner room. There was no light in the inner room, and the candle flame was dim, but there was something that made Gu Jiu remember it deeply.
It was a coral earring, in the dark room, with a strange red.
Although she noticed yesterday that she had also wondered how a middle-aged man who lived alone could have a woman's things, she had never liked to spy on people's private interests, so she suppressed her doubts and left.
If she hadn't seen it today, she wouldn't have connected it to a murder.
There were some rotten herbs piled up in the corners of the room, and the floor was turned into a mess, and the owner seemed to be in a hurry, and he didn't even clean up the room, and all kinds of things were mixed together, and the smell was disgusting.
Gu Jiu frowned and held his breath, lit the flint, and endured the unpleasant smell and went to the inner room.
The inner room was dark, and only the candle flame in Gu Jiu's hand shone brightly.
She endured the fear in her heart and followed her memory to the foot of the bed, but when she saw the coral pendant on the ground, her hands trembled a little.
The crimson coral pendant was stained with dust, but under the reflection of the candle flame, it was a little eerie.
The pendant on the peony's earlobe gradually overlapped with the one in front of him, which also made Gu Jiu subconsciously hold on to the bed frame, so as to avoid the consequences of his weak legs and falling.
Same.
The room has not been ventilated for a long time, and there is a faint musty smell.
Gu Jiu was a little out of breath, and glanced at the side of the bed casually, but her eyes widened instantly, and a coldness spread from her back, as if her limbs were frozen.
The marks on the bedding at the foot of the bed were blood.
The indescribable taste of yesterday also realized the answer at this time.
The blood at the foot of the bed, the earrings at the foot of the bed, and the smell she had smelled yesterday all showed that this was the scene of the case.
That flower girl peony died here!
If at this time, Gu Jiu still didn't understand what was going on, then she would have lived in vain.
Sun Boyin raped and killed the peony here, and then planted the blame for Zhuangzi period.
When she came yesterday, she was covered by the smell of smoke in the room, and she only felt that the smell in the room was strange, but only now did she realize that the so-called strange smell was because it was mixed with blood!
She only felt a tingling in her scalp, and almost subconsciously turned around, trembling and about to flee from here.
It's a shame that she thought she had found a miracle doctor yesterday, but she didn't want to, she took Gu Nianlan on the road of life and death without knowing it!
Because she was so scared, Gu Jiu didn't even notice that she was still holding the candle flame in her hand, she almost stumbled out of the room, but when she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped.
The man in the gray coarse linen coat blocked the door, and asked with a gentle face, "Madam, what are you looking for here?" ”
The mottled vermilion lacquer door behind him opened a crack, but the man blocked the way uprightly, and the smirk on his face seemed to be wearing a mask, which instantly made Gu Jiu speechless.
Sun Boyin......
How did he come back!
"You...... You ......"
She opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw Sun Boyin walking towards her, she subconsciously shouted, "Don't come here!" ”
