Chapter 142: Causing Death
Gao Xi and the others were all taken to the Jiujiang Mansion, and the government left a group of more than 20 people still searching for evidence that could be missed on the river.
Wanzhi County's subordinates have passed the word: Tomorrow, after the evidence and witnesses are sorted out, the first trial of the case will be held. At the same time as the case was reported, officers and soldiers had rushed to the yamen of Yangzhou Prefecture, the yamen of Yangzhou Wharf and the yamen of Zhenjiang Wharf......
The evidence was sufficient, and it was only a matter of time before Gao Xi and the Gao family were convicted, Cheng Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief and lay down with peace of mind.
As soon as the Gao family fell, it was equivalent to the loss of the knife hanging over the head.
Not only that, but even her good second uncle won't be able to jump up after this time! The first one, the old man can't spare him!
Her blow cleared most of the hidden dangers that threatened the Cheng family......
In this life, she must save the Cheng family. As for Zhu Changan, no matter how big his idea is, as long as she doesn't take the bait, he won't succeed......
Cheng Ziyu closed her eyes, but Li Chunjing's bright eyes inexplicably appeared in front of her, making her sigh.
Li Chun, she owes a favor. He hasn't shown up since then, Jiujiang City is in a mess at the moment, and he probably won't stay here. I don't know when the next meeting will be, so I should thank him......
This night, Cheng Ziyu slept very deeply, and she didn't even have a dream.
She didn't seem to have had such a good night's sleep in years......
The next day, she was woken up by the painting.
"Girl, wake up!"
She looked out the window, it was bright and there was a commotion from the docks.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost time!"
Cheng Ziyu hadn't stretched out her waist before she saw that she was serious in the painting.
"Is the trial coming?"
"Girl, something happened!"
"What?" Cheng Ziyu sat up, jumped out of bed and began to dress.
"Miss Qinghe, it's gone!"
"What?"
"The Qinghe girl who saved you on the painting boat is gone!"
"To be clear, what does 'gone' mean?" Cheng Ziyu's legs were a little weak.
"That's it...... Go! In Bali Lake in Jiujiang City, a young woman's floating corpse was found this morning, and it was determined that it was Qinghe girl! She had a fatal wound to the head, and the government preliminarily determined that she had stumbled and slipped into the lake after hitting a boulder......"
Cheng Ziyu couldn't stand still, and sat down as soon as her legs became weak.
Xia Wei is dead!
Killed!
Well, it can only be because of yourself!
Cheng Ziyu's chest sank, she had a lot of calculations, she wanted to let the wicked be caught, but she was unwilling to let the innocent lose their lives.
"Girl's Day mourning! Gao Xi's case is about to begin, and the Qinghe girl is the only one who has clearly identified the man in black and was injured by the man in black. Is there someone who is afraid that she will continue to make accusations that are unfavorable to the Gao family, so they killed her? ……”
Cheng Ziyu tried hard to suppress the rapid heartbeat.
"Really? But Qinghe's testimony was not the most unfavorable to the Gao family in last night's testimony, and the other party did it so conspicuously, would it be too eye-catching? She didn't want to believe it.
"Maybe it's because I heard that Qinghe rescued the girl, so the other party has a grudge against Qinghe? ……”
Is it? Will it?
Cheng Ziyu was a little skeptical.
Xia Wei in the previous life was still alive and well until she died! That's a smart and talented girl, so easy to be killed in this life? How easy can an average killer do to her? What about Li Chun? With Li Chun here, it shouldn't be!
Could it be a bluff? Is there a mistake?
But since the government has determined that the body is Qinghe, it should have found someone to identify it. You can't be wrong, right?
"There are so many witnesses of evidence left last night, it doesn't make much sense to only attack Qinghe? I don't understand, I really don't understand! Cheng Ziyu shook her head and muttered.
"No, it's not! And ......"
The expression in the painting became more and more serious. In order to let Cheng Ziyu relax, she only said half of what she said.
Gao Xi and his people were imprisoned in the prison, but in the middle of the night, Gao Xi's subordinates in the prison were also attacked. When the jailer changed the guard, he noticed movement in the prison. ran in to take a look, only to find that Gao Xi's henchmen were all terrified, some kicked the iron fence with their feet, some hit the iron pole with their heads, and some were clapping their hands, all of them were relying on action to call for help.
Later, the jailer found that several of Gao Xi's minions, including Steward Zhang, had all lost their voices. ”
"Lost your voice?" Cheng Ziyu frowned.
"That's right! Speechless! But I heard that last night, just in case, no idle people in the cell were allowed to enter or leave! Even the jailers were restricted from entering.
I heard that Wanzhi County was given a lecture, and when he came out, he slapped his subordinates several times, and even smashed his favorite set of tea bowls.
No, an hour ago, the government directly summoned the doctors of several major medical centers in Jiujiang City to go to the prison for consultation. The news was that the water the suspects had drunk had been drugged. But fortunately, after the doctors urgently administered the needle, it was said that the prisoners would regain their voices in a few hours at most. ”
Cheng Ziyu took a deep breath.
"How many people lost their voices? What about Gao Xi? ”
"Gao Xi is being held in solitary confinement, it's okay! However, his henchmen tossed and turned in the middle of the night last night, and were roasted by the fire for so long, and they were all hot and thirsty, so they all drank water, so they all lost their voices without exception. The person who did it was very purposeful, and those confused boatmen and mothers-in-law were not drugged......"
Mother Fu listened for a long time and opened her mouth.
"Girl, the other party has a clear purpose, is targeted and strong, and only attacked those Gao Xi's henchmen. The old slave should have been done by the Gao family or the Gao family. If these people can't open their mouths, they can't identify Gao Xi for drugged and the men in black for stealing, then their previous confessions will be overturned sooner or later. In addition, the Qinghe girl is gone, so we are the only ones who can directly prove that the man in black stole it. It's not very convincing! ”
"Mother Fu, go and see if there is a carriage, arrange, let's go to Jiujiang Mansion!"
Cheng Ziyu stroked her temples, her mind was a little messy, and she always felt that it was not so simple.
Seeing is believing, she has to make a trip herself.
The carriage was quickly set, and she did not bother to eat after dressing, so she washed and changed into a dress that was easy to move around and set off.
As soon as she stepped into the gate of Jiujiang Mansion, she saw Wanzhi County, which was spinning like ants in a hot pot.
The other party's face was sad, and Cheng Ziyu was disappointed, but he was afraid that what he heard in the painting was true.
Seeing that Cheng Ziyu's face was not good-looking, Wanzhi County was even more numb.
At this moment, he is not a human being inside and outside, if he said that he could still put the responsibility on the dock yamen for the Jiangmian incident last night, but today this incident happened under his nose, under his jurisdiction, and even caused a human life, which is completely a matter of his ability.
The black yarn on his head is basically crumbling, and he can't withstand the slightest wind and rain. He hurriedly put on a bitter gourd face, and greeted him respectfully and courteously......
