Chapter 75: Taking the opportunity to commit a crime

Yue Rushuang could see from Qin Wuchen's respectful attitude towards Zhenbei that the young man in front of him was absolutely extraordinary, how could he be a mediocre person who could be specially brought by Qin Wuchen to assist in the investigation?

At the moment, Lord Qin can't count on it, and he can only hope for this young man, thinking of this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "In this way, please little brother!" Wherever there is a need, even if you open your mouth to command, you must not be polite! ”

Zhen Bei's body was crooked, and she was supported by Nangong He, and reluctantly returned a salute to Yue Rushuang.

looked at the other party trembling: "Little brother, are you okay?" ”

Zhen Bei smiled and said, "It's still shallow to be poisoned, so you don't need to worry about it!" ”

Yue Rushuang nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

He hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to boil some sobering soup and send it, and ordered them to lock up all the subordinates who touched the dishes and waited for interrogation.

Zhenbei drank the sobering soup, and most of the sleepiness on her body had dissipated.

Qin Wuchen was helped into the wing room to rest, and Yue Rushuang arranged for several disciples with strong martial arts skills to take turns to guard his left and right and protect his safety

Zhen Bei was in the room, looking through the case records sent by the government.

The body of the deceased and the autopsy records made by Zhen Bei have been examined, and the murder weapon used by the murderer is a candlestick for the wax of tears.

Here, the base of the candlestick can be detached from the body, and the two are connected by a copper pin with a unique shape.

The murderer pulled out the candlestick and pierced the deceased's heart with a copper needle about five or six inches long, causing him to die!

Zhenbei remembered the scars on the deceased's body, picked up the four candlesticks again, and looked at them.

Suddenly, her eyes froze, and she put the four copper needles together, and indeed one copper needle was slightly bent compared to the other three, and it was difficult to detect it if she didn't look closely.

She found the base of the candlestick and tried to insert the crooked copper pin back into it.

"What are you doing?" Nangong He couldn't help but ask when he saw her fiddling with the candlestick repeatedly.

Zhen Bei frowned and said, "If you use this murder weapon to kill someone, will this copper wire be deformed?" ”

Nangong He took the candlestick from her hand and sneered, "Naturally not." This murderer clearly has no kung fu in his body, and he uses brute force to stab the opponent's body, so there will be such a result! ”

Zhen Bei was slightly stunned, took a long breath, and said, "So that's the case, it seems that among these four witnesses, some of them lied!" ”

It's just that the four murder weapons, long before they arrived, had been confused together, and it was difficult to identify the room they were in before.

Zhenbei found the housekeeper who was responsible for purchasing living utensils, rouge gouache and other miscellaneous chores, and they dealt with these girls and maids all day long, and they were the most transparent and thorough about the conflicts between them.

"Gu Gongzi, my wife tells the truth, there are few girls and maids who serve themselves here, and there is no contradiction in the intimate relationship! Take these four little girls as an example, which one has not been slapped in the mouth by a girl? It's no wonder that I don't see you looking up all day long, and the pot and spoon are still ringing! What's more, their identity is there, the master is not the master, the servant is not a servant, and the treatment is so much worse, it is uncomfortable to put it on anyone! The woman spat and said.

"Mother-in-law, can you be more detailed?" Zhenbei asked patiently.

"What, Childe, do you suspect the four of them?" The old woman's cloudy and yellowed eyes burst out with a fine light, and her dry face instantly stretched, exuding a woman's unique keen gossip and smell talent, and asked.

"It's not," Zhen Bei said busily, "It's just that having a comprehensive understanding of everyone involved in the case may be beneficial to the case!" ”

The old woman let out an "ah", and the look on her face showed that she obviously did not fully believe her words.

But Yue Gongzi has an order, everyone must fully cooperate with this Gu Gongzi to investigate the case, she can't get a hand of new information in her mouth, and it's good to be able to get over it.

In the next hour, she started from the eight generations of the ancestors of these four pairs of masters and servants, and talked endlessly!

The next day, there was exciting news: the murderer had been caught!

I don't know how this news spread everywhere, but everyone is happily talking about it anyway.

"But who is the murderer?"

"I haven't heard of this, I just heard that Gu Gongzi has found the murderer!"

"I don't know who is so fierce, even these delicate girls can do it! I really want to see what he looks like! ”

"Specify someone we don't know! Hum! Even if you see him, what can you see? ”

"Yes. Anyway, since then, we've finally been able to get a good night's sleep! ”

A few little girls chattered and walked away.

As soon as they left, behind the wooden pillar, a figure flashed out, she stared at the few people who left with complicated eyes, and after a while, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and retch.

Suddenly, I heard someone behind her and said, "Lychee, I've been looking for you for a long time, and you little hooves know how to be lazy and slippery, why did you hide here?" ”

Lychee was taken aback, she looked back at the appearance of the visitor, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said flatteringly: "Sister Li, I have been unwell for the past few days, vomiting and diarrhea, and I just came out of the toilet!" ”

"Humph! Don't talk about these useless things for me, Gu Gongzi is looking for a few of you to ask, come with me! ”

When Lychee was led into the wing, Zhen Bei was looking at the several confessions in her hand, and said seemingly casually: "Oh, this official is really sloppy, how can he send the confessions of other cases too!" By the way, I heard that the contract signed by a few of you is about to reach the deadline, but have you thought about it, do you want to stay? ”

The four of them looked at each other, all bowed their heads and did not speak, as if they were very taboo about this question.

Zhen Bei said, "Are there any of you who can read and write?" ”

All four shook their heads.

Zhen Bei said helplessly: "Then come over and press a palm print!" ”

The four of them walked over in turn.

Lychee just wanted to press her finger to the paper, glanced at the content of the confession, hurriedly withdrew her hand, and blurted out: "Gu Gongzi, this confession ......"

When she said this, she hurriedly stopped, her fingers stained with red mud trembled slightly, and a look of hesitation flashed in her eyes, as if she didn't know whether this handprint should be pressed or not.

"Lychee girl, what's wrong with this testimony?" Zhenbei looked at her with a smile and said.

"No, nothing!" Lychee gritted her teeth and said, she looked at the extraordinarily conspicuous big words - "I have confessed to the fact of murder, and the crime should be punished", after all, she didn't have the courage to drop her fingers.

"Gu Gongzi, this certificate is not a slave's share." After Lychee said this, she seemed to use all her strength.

Zhen Bei took a look at it and said with a smile: "I took it wrong!" ”

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed: "Lychee, it turns out that you are literate!" ”

A flash of panic flashed in Lychee's eyes, and said: "The slave maid has limited literacy, only, just happens to recognize the words on it!" ”

Zhen Bei sneered: "I don't know if you happen to recognize the words on the wall on the third floor?" ”

Lychee barely squeezed out a smile and said in a trembling voice: "Gu Gongzi, you, what do you mean?" ”

Zhen Bei said slowly: "Lychee, I heard that you are a very smart girl, your girl is a well-known talented girl, you have served her for three years, and it is not difficult to learn to read and write!" ”

Lychee calmed down at this time, and she quibbled: "Gu Gongzi, the slave and maid Cheng followed the young lady and learned to know some words, but what does this have to do with the blood characters?" There are a lot of literate people here, why do you think I'm the murderer? ”

"There are a lot of people here who can write, and those who can write with a pen in their left hand are rare!" Zhen Bei stared at her left hand, which was still stained with red mud, and chuckled, "You are left-handed, I looked at the pen movement of the person who wrote that blood letter, and found that he happened to be left-handed!" ”

Hearing this, Lychee hurriedly hid her left hand behind her and said, "It's just a coincidence." Miss Jasmine has kung fu, and the slave is just a powerless girl, how can she have the ability to kill her? ”

Zhen Bei glanced at her lightly and said, "According to normal circumstances, you can't bear her, but the two cases that happened before in this building have inspired you, and this matter has taken a turn!" According to my speculation, you should have tricked your girl into drinking the medicine that would make her sleep. He imitated the previous two cases, stabbed her to death with a candlestick, and then deliberately wrote those bloody words in blood so that others could recognize that Miss Jasmine also died at the hands of the murderer!

I asked the guards who were patrolling the neighborhood that night, and they said that there had been some strange noises coming from your room that night. When they come up to ask, it's you who deal with it vaguely from the inside! I think that's what you sent out when you pulled out the candlestick, as you said, you are just a little girl, and it must have taken a lot of time to pull out the candlestick that was firmly fixed to the base! ”

Beads of sweat oozed from Lychee's forehead, her face turned pale, she stood there with her weak legs, gritted her teeth and insisted: "Gu Gongzi, you really like to laugh, why did a good slave kill Miss Jasmine?" She may be a little grumpy at times, but she has been here for so many years, and as you said, the slave will leave here soon, so why do you want to do more? ”

Zhen Bei nodded matter-of-fact and said, "You're right. ”

Without waiting for the other party to breathe a sigh of relief, her tone changed suddenly, and she said sharply: "If it hadn't happened a month ago, you wouldn't have done this, but that thing has already happened!" ”

Lychee couldn't hold on any longer, sat on the ground with her legs limp and muttered, "How did you find out about this?" Yes, Jasmine was killed by me! Hehe, the slave didn't even dare to step on an ant in her life, but she didn't expect that one day, she would kill someone......"

It all started a little more than a month ago.

On that day, the guests in Miss Jasmine's room were drunk and tried to forcibly occupy Jasmine. The guest was noble, and Jasmine couldn't afford to provoke it, so she forced Lychee to serve on her behalf.

Lychee swore to death, was stunned by it, and when she woke up again, she had already cooked raw rice and cooked rice!

Lychee made a marriage contract with her beloved early, and only waited for the contract to expire before she got married, which is also the motivation for her to grit her teeth and persist for so many years.

Seeing a bright future, it instantly turned into a bubble and flew away, and life was dark from then on, and Lychee's hatred for Jasmine can be imagined.

What made Lychee even more disheartened was that she found out that she was pregnant!
