458 Detention for retrial
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and countless eyes gathered in the hall.
Zhang Meiyan's face suddenly turned pale.
She...... Why did she open this mouth?
Ah Li came back to her senses and was almost happy.
If you do something bad and talk so much, this is the end of your own cleverness!
"My lord, I bumped into these two girls when they were talking that day, and the girl said, 'Go back'βthe villain remembers, this is the voice!" The guy was steadfast.
At that time, it was very quiet in the bamboo forest, and the voice sounded very pleasant, and there was a sense of pretentiousness in the tone, which was very special...... Therefore, he naturally has an impression.
Why is it pretended to be noble?
Dressed ordinarily, with a high-minded posture, most of them are pretending to be noble.
Even in order to add credibility, the guy said everything in his heart on the spot.
Cheng Ran raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Pretending to be noble?
He looked at Zhang Meiyan intently, and couldn't help but feel a sense of approval.
This word is indeed quite expressive.
clearly wanted to make himself appear weaker, but he couldn't let go of that shelf, so he had a temperament that was almost contradictory.
"You talk nonsense!" Zhang Meiyan was ashamed and indignant, and hurriedly denied it, and said to Cheng Ran: "My lord, this person may not be bribed by others and deliberately slandered me!" β
Zhang Luan's heart sank when he heard this.
If at first, without definite evidence, he still had a trace of doubt about Ah Xi's words, then now, seeing that Zhang Meiyan was so panicked, he had almost confirmed it.
He still knows a little bit about this niece's temperament.
If he was really wronged, what did he rely on, and he would never be so flustered, and he would have been upside down when he spoke.
"If it's really bribed, you just need to be identified straightforwardly, so why bother!" Zhang Luan said coldly.
The guy couldn't help but silently echo the sentence "yes".
Zhang Meiyan's eyes dodged for a while.
Zhang Luan asked at this time: "Master Cheng, there are a few words that the lower officials want to ask the suspects and witnesses in court, I don't know if it's okay?" β
Cheng Ran nodded in agreement.
Master Zhang should have done this a long time ago, and his throat was going to smoke on his own.
"On that day, you said that you had never been to Bai Kee Teahouse, so where were you at that time?" Zhang Luan asked Zhang Meiyan first.
Cheng Ran took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said "hey" in his heart when he heard the words.
came up and set a trap, Lord Zhang can.
"At that time...... At that time, I was doing embroidery at home. Zhang Meiyan replied nervously.
"At that time?" Zhang Luan sneered and asked, "How do you know when I'm talking about?" β
From beginning to end, neither Ah Xi nor the teahouse guy mentioned the specific time, only the afternoon-and Zhang Meiyan answered without thinking about it, and even didn't ask, it was not just a weak heart, but a performance of the accurate time in his heart!
Zhang Meiyan's face tightened, and she hurriedly said: "I have been doing embroidery almost all the time from after lunch to sunset!" β
Cheng Ran frowned.
I have been doing embroidery all afternoon, and this explanation makes sense, but those mistakes in the details of my mentality can't fool everyone.
But alas, these details are only a means of probing, and there is no evidence to make them.
Zhang Luan obviously knew this, so he was also very calm, and only asked the guy again: "Do you still have an impression of how this girl was dressed that day?" β
The man thought about it carefully, and then said, "It's a lake blue dress...... Very ordinary style. β
There's nothing special or eye-catching.
Zhang Luan was a little disappointed.
Lake-blue dresses can be found everywhere, and even if they are found, they are of little use.
His former niece was quite cautious.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Luan didn't ask any more questions, only nodded slightly towards Cheng Ran.
Cheng Ran asked Ah Xi and the guy respectively: "You might as well think about it carefully, but there is other evidence?" β
The guy shook his head first.
He'd only happened to meet once, and that's all he could remember.
Ah Xi paused, and said, "...... That's all I can think of for the time being. β
Therefore, it became more and more certain that Zhang Meiyan had planned to only treat her as a scapegoat early on.
Cheng Ran heard this, so he didn't rush to ask more, and instead confirmed to Ah Xi: "You said that you poisoned the eldest son of the Zhang family, but you were instigated by the Zhang family, and the poison was also given by the Zhang familyβthen, you poisoned Lan Kite, but it was also the Zhang family's instructions?" β
Ah Xi shook her head.
"Poisoning Lan Kite is my intention."
It's just that she used the poison that Zhang Meiyan gave her.
Before this, it was not that she had no murderous intent towards Lan Yuan, but she didn't have a way to get out cleanly, and she couldn't make a decision all the time.
The appearance of that bag of poison was undoubtedly a knife that was delivered to her and she thought it was the most suitable.
It's just that this knife is difficult to control, and in the end he killed others, but he also killed himself.
Cheng Ran listened to it and slapped the wood.
"Someone, take the criminal Ah Xi to the prison - the suspect Zhang is also detained in the prison to listen to the retrial!"
Zhang Meiyan was shocked.
"Is it on the basis of this insignificant evidence that you are going to condemn me? In this case, where is justice? β
"When did the judge say he was going to condemn you? This evidence is indeed not enough to convict you, but it can also prove that you are extremely suspicious - detention and retrial are within the rules and the most fair. Cheng Ran reminded in a solemn voice.
In just one or two hours, the two poisoning cases can be investigated to such an extent, which can be regarded as extremely fast progress.
A lot of evidence needs to be collected gradually. is the prisoner, and under the retrial, a lot of new key testimony can also be dug up.
Therefore, even if Zhang Meiyan cannot be convicted of the crime in court, as long as her suspicion is not cleared for a day, the yamen will have enough reason to detain her and thoroughly investigate her every move in recent days.
In this case, it is only a matter of time before the truth is found.
This is also the reason why Zhang Luan, Zhang Meishou and others are calm.
During the retrial, the yamen will conduct a thorough investigation, and their Zhang family will not be idle.
Moreover, Mr. Cheng's ability to handle cases and his fairness have always been well known.
It is precisely because of the Zhang family's calm attitude in his eyes that Deng Yu is anxious, and he can't help but speculate a lot-
During the retrial of Yan'er's sister, who knows if something will happen?
If all this is a trap of the Zhang family, just to kill Zhang Yan's room - such an unrealistic assumption, he will definitely not do it.
To put it mildly, Zhang Yan's house has now fallen to this point, and it is not worth the Zhang family to exchange Zhang Qiuchi's future at all.
Deng Yu thinks he is quite sober and wise.
Therefore, the fact is that most of the old maid attacked Zhang Qiuchi out of resentment.
And because he refused to confess the origin of the poison, he used this to slander Yan'er's sister...... After all, to put it in detail, there are also old enmities between them.
But in addition, there is another "but" in his heart-
