Chapter 754: The True Bitter Lord
Just one word, but it was like an earth-shattering shock, smashing everyone's minds buzzing.
Zhen Shicheng has evidence? No way!
After King Xiang's heart was violently agitated, he hurriedly asked, "What evidence?" β
Although he didn't believe it in his heart, he couldn't help but be highly nervous.
If it is confirmed that this corpse is Cui Mingyue, then he will be very bad.
Zhen Shicheng pointed to the ground and said unhurriedly: "The underwear worn by the bones is the evidence!" β
King Xiang stared at the white bones on the ground, and his eyes widened in surprise: "The underwear is evidence?" Lord Zhen, don't talk nonsense for the sake of the reputation of judging cases like a god. β
No wonder King Xiang said so, the underwear hanging on the bones has been torn and unable to distinguish the color because it has been buried in the soil for a long time, and it is too unbelievable to say that it is evidence.
The others were also confused, and Master Zhen was crazy, and took the only remaining underwear on the white bones as evidence.
Even Yu Jin's gaze at Zhen Shicheng was a little deeper.
He thought that Old Man Zhen's subordinates had quietly turned over the jade pendant, but he didn't expect that the so-called evidence would be a shirt.
Can women's underwear still be used as evidence? I didn't see that Old Man Zhen had studied this.
Zhen Shicheng seemed to be aware of his gaze, and he couldn't help but look up angrily when he met Yu Jin's meaningful gaze.
What kind of eyes is that Yan Wang?
Stinky boy, don't let him know!
After a short distraction, Zhen Shicheng squatted down, pinched the underwear on the bones with his handkerchief, and said in a deep voice: "Look, everyone, although the underwear worn by the bones is no longer recognizable, and some parts are rotten, but look here-"
He didn't care at all how the underwear on the bones became that color, nor did he care that it was a female corpse, so he pinched the corner of his clothes and gently lifted it, explaining to everyone: "You can barely distinguish the patterns here, and the reason why Xia Guan can be sure that the bones are Miss Cui is because of these patterns." β
The few princes who were close tried their best to distinguish it, and the king of Xiang was even better, staring at the place where Zhen Shicheng was pointing, and sure enough, he saw some blurred lines on the edge of his clothes.
It's likeβ
Zhen Shicheng's voice raised slightly: "This is a double-sided embroidered water moon pattern, the embroidery is complex, and the pattern is unique. β
King Xiang sneered and retorted: "That pair of pearl earrings can already prove that the identity of this corpse is either rich or expensive, what is the wonder of being able to afford to wear a double-sided embroidered water and moon pattern undershirt?" β
King Xiang's words attracted many people to nod their heads in agreement.
Zhen Shicheng folded the handkerchief in turn and put it in his arms and stroked his beard.
Everyone thought about the usefulness of the handkerchief just now, and couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths.
A handkerchief is worth a few dollars, and if you have just touched the bones, can't you throw it away?
Zhen Shicheng sneered, and said in his heart that these princes just don't know the suffering of the world, with the number of times he touches the dead with a handkerchief, touches and throws one, touches and throws one, when he doesn't have to save a small treasury?
After the belly slander, Zhen Shicheng smiled at King Xiang: "Although there are many women who can afford to wear double-sided embroidered underwear, the lining is mainly comfortable, and the vast majority of people's underwear is a solid color without embroidery patterns, and there is no one in a hundred who is decorated with double-sided embroidered water and moon patterns on the edge of the underwear." β
"Even so, Lord Zhen thinks this is Miss Cui? Lord Zhen can't speculate because the water moon pattern contains the word 'moon', which is somewhat related to Miss Cui's maiden name, right? King Xiang shook his head and sneered, "If that's the case, Lord Zhen's reputation is not worthy of his name!" β
King Xiang's aggressiveness made Zhen Shicheng more and more calm, and said with a smile: "It's not speculation, the lower officials have seen Miss Cui's underwear." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zhen Shicheng's eyes and became strange.
Zhen Shicheng has seen Cui Mingyue's underwear?
Only Yu Jin's face remained unchanged, and his heart was abrupt.
When Zhu Ziyu died and Cui Mingyue disappeared, Emperor Lao Tzu specially ordered Old Man Zhen to investigate quietly, and I think I saw it at that time.
Sure enough, Zhen Shicheng followed closely and said: "More than a year ago, the emperor ordered the lower officials to investigate the case of the disappearance of Miss Cui, and the lower officials inspected all the objects in the new house, and one of the wardrobes put several underwear, although these underwear are of different colors, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are all embroidered on the hem, cuffs, etc., and those patterns are the water moon patterns embroidered on both sides!" β
With Zhen Shicheng's narration, King Xiang's face gradually turned white.
While the others set their eyes on King Xiang with complicated expressions.
King Xiang opened his mouth and tried his best to distinguish: "That, that may also be a coincidence...... Can Lord Zhen guarantee that only Miss Cui wears such an embroidered undershirt in this world? β
Zhen Shicheng shook his head and sighed: "Of course Xiaguan can't guarantee it. But the bones appeared in the abandoned well in the backyard of the prince, and the underwear on his body was exactly the style worn by Miss Cui, who had been married to the prince and brought shame to the prince...... With all the hiding place, physical evidence, and motives, can it still be classified as a coincidence? β
King Xiang clenched his fists, thinking about how to tell the difference, but he heard an excited voice from the well again: "My lord, I found another thing!" β
Soon a servant climbed out of the well, holding a dirty jade pendant.
"Bring it in." Zhen Shicheng said busily.
Although the case can be closed by this time, it is of course better to have one more physical evidence, after all, the suspect is not an ordinary person, but a dignified son.
Zhen Shicheng quickly took out a handkerchief that he didn't know whether he had used or not, and carefully wiped the jade pendant, and when the jade pendant gradually revealed his true face, an exclamation suddenly sounded, and a figure staggered in.
"It's my sister's!" The man who rushed in hissed.
Everyone looked at it and recognized it: it was Cui Mingyue's brother Cui Yi.
It turned out that Zhen Shicheng had quietly ordered someone to invite someone when he was suspicious of the bones.
My sister disappeared, my parents died, and Cui Yi, who was once a famous gentleman in the capital, seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, and finally started to be a person, and I had some success in the past year or two.
At this time, Cui Yi held the jade pendant, his hands trembled, and his eyes were red.
"Cui Gongzi, can you be sure that this is Ling Mei's?" Zhen Shicheng asked softly.
He has always been kind and pleasant to the bitter master, provided that it does not affect the handling of the case.
Cui Yi pinched the jade pendant hard, and his tone was resolute: "Of course you can!" This jade pendant is what my sister often wears, and I am her brother, how can I not recognize it. β
Zhen Shicheng nodded with satisfaction and looked at King Xiang: "Lord Wang, what else do you have to say now?" β
I hate the unsolved case the most, and I can finally close it today.
For this reason, although there are some doubts about the jade pendant in the well, he is not ready to investigate it deeply.
Zhen Shicheng thought like this, and glanced at Yu Jin.
Yu Jin innocently bent the corners of his lips.
And King Xiang stared at the jade pendant in Cui Yi's hand, and muttered as he retreated: "Impossible, obviously it has been taken off, how can there be a jade pendant......"
Cui Yi rushed forward with an arrow, followed the punch of King Xiang, and roared with red eyes: "You killed my sister, you killed my sister!" β
Yu Jin'er.
Very good, now I don't dare to get close to look at the lively palace people, everyone knows the good things their master has done.
