Chapter 277: The Woodcutter's Testimony
It was really an unexpected discovery, if it weren't for the officials in the yamen who casually showed Nalan Jin the way, they would have to go to the yamen's treasury to find some old information, but it turned out that it would be self-defeating because of Master Bao's instructions to let them disobey the yang and yin.
Nalan Jin, who was hiding next to the house, thought about the cause and effect of the matter, and felt that the Lin family's case was aimed at Nalan Jin, but at the moment they didn't understand the purpose of doing so.
It feels like things are getting more and more confusing.
"Dongfang, there is one thing, I think it is very strange, just now I saw Master Bao meeting with a masked man, listening to the voice, it should be a woman." Nalan Jin whispered.
Even if Dongfang Yi is in Yamen with Nalan Jin, he will not forget his business affairs, and he will still pay attention to his business as long as he is free.
Hearing Nalan Jin's narration, Dongfang was just a little puzzled.
"You...... Is it that I have been a little too involved in the investigation of the case recently, a little suspicious, and everyone feels suspicious? Dongfang Yi hesitated, afraid that his tone would affect Nalan Jin's mood.
It seems that the unintentional sentence made Nalan Jin a little harsh and uncomfortable to hear. I feel that Dongfang Yi has changed since he participated in the investigation.
"How did you become timid, could I be wrong about someone who is obviously covered with a face? I'm not there yet. Nalan Jin angrily pointed to his eyes and emphasized.
"I didn't mean that, this bag of adults is also a parent official, how can he collude with others? The collusion of officials and bandits, once known by the court, will lose their heads. Dongfang Yi put down the account book in hand and patiently explained to Nalan Jin.
"Then how do you explain that Master Bao suddenly pointed out that we were murderers?" Nalan Jin tilted his head and turned out what happened before.
"Then I don't know."
Dongfang Yi was very helpless, it was none of his business, he had a clear conscience, even if someone planted him, he was not afraid.
So from the Lin family's accident to the present, Dongfang Yi has always been very calm.
"Anyway, it's not easy." Nalan Jin said with certainty.
"And what do you want?" Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin suspiciously.
"Of course it'......"
Nalan Jin teased Guan Zi, raised his eyebrows and looked at Dongfang Yi, he felt a cool breeze on his back, and he had a bad feeling.
At night, Dongfang Yi also closed the same night clothes according to Nalan Jin's instructions, he looked at his clothes, he always felt strange and wanted to refuse, but Nalan Jin's appearance did not allow him to refuse.
Dongfang Yi quietly lurked on the roof of Lord Bao, and slowly peeked into the situation in the house, but it was very quiet, and he felt that Nalan Jin was too worried.
Just when I wanted to leave, I heard a movement, and when I fixed my eyes, a masked man with a sunspot came out of Master Bao's house.
Seeing that her appearance was very similar to what Nalan Jin described, she followed all the way to the outside of the yamen, and the man in black seemed to notice that someone was following.
Suddenly stopped.
Dongfang Yi was shocked by the black clothes
people, so he jumped from the roof and kicked directly at the man in black, which was well avoided by her.
He threw another backhand punch, and was easily dodged by the man in black, thinking that Dongfang Yi's fists and feet were not weak, and he could easily dodge his attack, which was really powerful.
At first, the man in black just avoided it, but Dongfang Yi pressed forward step by step, and the man in black had no choice but to make a dead move, but when he punched Dongfang Yi to the point, he immediately stopped.
A layer of fly ash was raised, Dongfang Yi's vision was blocked, and the man in black took advantage of the opportunity to die.
What a handsome kung fu!
Dongfang Yi waved his hand to block the flying ash, and suddenly frowned.
Person...... Willow like smoke?
Dongfang Yi went back and told Nalan Jin what he had seen and heard, and revealed all the doubts in his heart.
"This is impossible, how could Liu Ruyan come here, let alone design such a sophisticated trap?" Nalan Jin became more and more strange.
"Consciousness guesses, it's possible that I'm mistaken, but it's very likely." Dongfang Yi frowned suspiciously, but he still felt that he was not mistaken.
"If you want to be confirmed, there is only one way, and that is to go to Jin's house again. If it was really Liu Ruyan who did it, then he would definitely leave evidence there. ”
Nalan Jin thought for a moment, the masked woman, plus Dongfang Yiren, was never wrong, she trusted his intuition. Suspicions followed.
Dongfang Yi thinks that Nalan Jin's proposal is just right, and there is no impermeable wall in this world.
"Then do you want to tell Master Bao?" Dongfang Yi proposed.
"Do you want to tell him that we know he is in collusion with the masked man, or do you want him to notify the masked man to destroy the evidence?" Nalan Jin glared at Dongfang Yi angrily.
Dongfang Yi scratched his head with a wry smile, only remembering that he had said that he would share the clues he had found, but what he thought of was that the situation was different now.
Mr. Bao is also suspicious.
The two came to the Lin family again, although the body was taken away and the place was turned upside down by the officials, they could still feel the scene of the Lin family being killed at that time.
I could still vaguely ask about the smell of blood, which made Nalan Jin not feel a little creepy.
"This place has been searched like this by the officials, so there shouldn't be any valuable clues, right?" Nalan Jin pinched her nose and looked at the mess around her.
Dongfang looked at the things around him seriously, not letting go of any small place. Seeing that Nalan Jin couldn't stand the temperature here, he took the sachet that he had prepared for a long time to Nalan Jin.
"Those officials are all coping with things, looking carefully, or beautiful women find subtle evidence." Dongfang Yi said and put the sachet on Nalan Jin's body.
may be a mistake in his heart, wearing a sachet, Nalan Jin felt that the smell of blood in that line had faded a lot, and the whole person was not uncomfortable.
"Where did you get this?" Nalan Jin looked curiously at the sachet on her body.
"Find someone to take."
Dongda responded casually, and then continued to search, Nalan
Jin sniffed the sachet and couldn't help frowning.
Suddenly, an inconspicuous drawer in the Lin family's warehouse caught his attention, and the toilets in other places were rotten, only this matter was well hidden and not found.
"You don't want to find gold here, do you?" Nalan Jin, you ridiculed.
Dongfang Yi moved the stool pressed on it, opened the drawer and saw that there was a jade wrench inside, looking at the style and pattern, it didn't look like something from the Central Plains.
"What kind of fragrance is this?" Nalan Jin sniffed.
"The pattern of this wrench,...... I seem to have seen it somewhere. Dongfang Yi recalled hard.
"How can you see it without a wrench, isn't it all the same? But it smells really good. Nalan Jin sniffled again.
Dongfang Yi toilet Nalan Jin reminded, and also asked about the faint fragrance of the wrench, leaned close to his nose and smelled it, and immediately looked at Nalan Jin with wide eyes.
"This tastes ......" Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin in surprise.
"Willow like smoke!" Nalan Jin shouted for sure.
The two thought of Liu Ruyan at the same time, and this should not be the impact of the investigation, so that the two of them made an erroneous judgment.
"How can this be?" Dongfang Yi still didn't believe it.
"That's the case, so the masked man I saw that day was Liu Ruyan!" Nalan Log was even more determined in his guess this time.
Dongfang Yi took the wrench and turned it in his hand for a long time, but he couldn't convince himself, although Liu Ruyan was good at attacking scheming, but he couldn't do anything to kill people?
What made Dongfang Yi even more incomprehensible was that Liu Ruyan came all the way to kill a family and frame them?
"Whether it's or not, it's still unknown, after all, just a wrench doesn't explain the problem at all." Dongfang Yi looked at the wrench in his hand and felt that the evidence was a little weak.
"Isn't that hard to say? Isn't it clear that she was caught and interrogated? Nalan Jin snatched the wrench from Dongfang Yi's hand.
Dongfang Yi hesitated for a moment and agreed to Nalan Jin's proposal, and the two of those suspected evidence hurried back to the yamen.
What I didn't expect was that all the actions of the two people were clearly seen by the man in black hiding in the shadows, and he knew that Nalan Jin had a wrench in his hand.
So he went back to the yamen one step ahead of them to make arrangements.
Master Bao thought it was a little incredible, but it was the man in black who proposed it, so she had to do it.
As soon as Nalan Jin and Dongda First returned to the yamen, they saw officials standing majestically on both sides. All of them had hideous faces, staring at Nalan Jin viciously.
"Lord Bao, what are you ......" Nalan Jin looked around curiously.
Master Bao stared at Nalan Jin angrily, gloating and worrying at the same time.
"Someone take these two prisoners down!" Master Bao gave an order, and the official sent Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yituan to repair.
Nalan Jin looked at Dongfang Yi suspiciously, and he also shrugged his shoulders blankly.
"I am the Marquis of the Imperial Court
, who dares to step forward! Nalan Jin took out the token and threatened everyone, but the official was timid and had scruples, so he didn't dare to step forward.
"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the commoners, not to mention that you are just a little marquis, come here, take me down." The adults were shocked, and the six relatives did not recognize them.
Nalan Jin saw that the token was not good, and these people did not accept deterrence at all, so they put away the token.
"I said that I would investigate the good case, and there is also evidence to prove that we are not the murderers of the Lin family, why did we go back on our word?" Nalan Jin asked loudly.
"Now there is new evidence pointing out that you are the criminal, and a woodcutter personally testifies that you are the culprit who killed the Lin family." Master Bao's words are eloquent.
"What woodcutter, how could there suddenly be an extra woodcutter, didn't you say before that you would tell me if you find any clues? Why didn't anyone tell me? ”
Nalan Jin looked at Lord Bao and the other officials suspiciously, and they all lowered their heads speechlessly.
"The witness is you, of course it is impossible to tell you, and this official also knows the clue just now." Mr. Bao held his official hat and felt that what he said was a bit high-sounding.
Nalan Jin was curious, how it was when they found new evidence that evidence suddenly appeared against them.
