The little eunuch got up quickly, quickly untied his shawl, tied his mouth hakama, and removed the clogs, and Chen Ying beckoned a servant to take a tray and load three pieces of clothing.

She first picked up the largest shawl, showed it to everyone in a circle, and then turned back to face the front of the hall: "Three adults, please look at this shawl, especially the blood stains on it." ”

Then, she took out the shawl of Brother Qiao in the cloth bag, held one in each hand, raised it high, and smiled strangely: "The folk girl wants to ask the adults, are the blood stains on these two shawls the same?" ”

"It's very different." Zhao Wuji quickly gave the answer, like the best responder, answering all questions and being impartial.

He pointed to Brother Qiao's shawl and said, "On this shirt, there are blood stains all over the place, and there are a lot of stains on the hem. He pointed to the one that the little eunuch had just unraveled: "This one only has a large blood stain on the back, and the hem is clean." ”

"Clogs are not the same as hakama." Xu Yuanlu took over the conversation, his eyes swept over the remaining clothes on the tray, and his eyes were sharp: "Junior Brother Qiao's clogs on the heel and back of the hakama are all bloodstained, and the two pieces in the tray are as clean as new." ”

"The eyes of the two adults are like torches, and the people are very grateful." Chen Ying nodded, put down her clothes, and paced slowly: "Let's go back to the second assumption before Lord Cao." Lord Cao thought that Little Brother Qiao might accidentally fall, so Ziqi took the opportunity to stab him to death from behind. And just now, Sun Dajian personally demonstrated this hypothesis. ”

She lifted the tray and was calm and indifferent: "Little Brother Qiao's knife wounds are all concentrated on the back, if he is stabbed to death after falling to the ground, the blood stains will only be concentrated on the upper body, as shown in this tray." ”

She brought up Brother Qiao's three pieces of clothing again, and changed her words: "However, there are blood stains on the hem of Brother Qiao's shawl, hakama and clogs, which shows that he was stabbed while standing, and the time he stood after the knife was not short, and the blood flowed downwards and covered his body." ”

Cao Zilian snorted, and his fingers tapped on the table: "It's not difficult to understand." In case he first fell to the ground and was stabbed, then struggled to defend himself, and finally fell to the ground again due to physical exhaustion, and the offender stepped forward to mend the knife. It's also possible. ”

"As Lord Cao said, there is indeed a certain possibility, but there is a premise. That was the first knife that Little Brother Qiao received, and it was not fatal. ”

Chen Ying returned to the Xiao Qi case, picked up the file, turned to one of the pages, and read: "...... The deceased's middle finger bone joint protruded, the tiger's mouth has a calloon, and it should be a person who practices martial arts. ”

She held up the dossier, and the smile on her face became more and more strange: "Lord Cao seems to have forgotten that Junior Brother Qiao is good at punching and kicking, and there is a certificate to verify it, and during the detention period, some people have tested Ziqi many times, and learned that she is just an ordinary woman and has never practiced martial arts. ”

Her voice lengthened and said meaningfully, "There is such a disparity in power between the two. With the height and physical strength of the deceased, if Ziqi can't make him lose his resistance at the first time, Master Cao thinks that she can kill Little Brother Qiao? I'm afraid that Little Brother Qiao can kill her with one hand. ”

Cao Zilian was speechless for a while.

"In addition, Lord Cao seems to have forgotten another point, which is the contusions and abrasions on Junior Brother Qiao's arms." Chen Ying continued to look through the file without raising her head:

"Brother Qiao has scars on both arms, two of which are caused by sharp objects, which are presumed to be knife wounds. This shows that Little Brother Qiao had direct contact with the murderer before his death, and scuffled and struggled. If the murderer was Ziqi, then Ziqi should also have scuffle marks on her body, but she didn't. ”

She finally raised her eyes and looked around at everyone, like the sound of water echoing in everyone's ears, clear and clean: "In this way, the injury on Brother Qiao's body has become a paradox. ”

First of all, he put forward the conclusion, and then recounted the antecedents: "You have all seen that the three hypotheses put forward by the adults have been demonstrated one by one, but none of them can be established. Or we can put it another way: as long as the murderer is Ziqi, then the injuries on Brother Qiao's body will never present such a situation. ”

She stared ahead, her gaze seemed to penetrate the three officials, and looked at Emperor Yuan Jia behind the screen: "Now, do the adults still insist that Ziqi is the murderer?" ”

Up and down the hall, there was silence again.

Only then did everyone understand what this so-called "defense" was all about.

Presenting evidence in the court and demonstrating on the spot, Chen Ying showed all the circumstances in which Ziqi might kill Qiao Xiaodi, and then overturned them one by one.

Such a lawyer is really something they have only seen in their lives.

In an instant, a line of light or dark, joy or anger was focused on Chen Ying's body.

The silence didn't last long.

The first to break the silence was Zhao Wuyi.

"Miss Chen, there are two deceased people in this case, in addition to Brother Qiao, what explanation do you have for the death of Zhou Jiuniang?" He said.

Cao Zilian's face sank when he boarded.

As soon as Zhao Wuyi's words came out, even if it was a disguised expression, he agreed with Chen Ying's inference.

That's not a good thing.

It doesn't matter who Zhou Jiuniang died at, and if the death of Little Brother Qiao can't be related to the Guogong Mansion, it will be a little bad. After all, the Guogong Mansion is accustomed to following Liao Youfang's path, and has a disagreement with their Song faction, if he can take the opportunity to attack, he will be happy to see it.

It's just that Chen Ying's demonstration is clear at a glance and can stand up to scrutiny, and for a while, Cao Zilian can't think of an excuse to refute it.

"Zhou Jiuniang's injury, in fact, has the same suspicions." Chen Ying didn't avoid Zhao Wuyi's question, turned around and walked to the place where the paper man was placed.

The thin little official who stood aside before, saw this and took the initiative to step forward, lifted the "Zhou Jiuniang No. 1" who was ranked first, and helped Chen Ying carry him to the front of the hall.

"Thank you." Chen Ying said in a gentle voice, and said, "I haven't asked for the name of the honorable person yet." ”

"The villain's name is Cai Jiu." The thin officer said.

Chen Ying thanked him again and said, "Don't bother the two masters, I will ask you to help demonstrate later." ”

"Well said, well said." Cai Jiu nodded and said with a bow, and stood aside.

Xu Yuanlu didn't react to this, only stared at Chen Ying, and his body was still full of anger: "What is the doubt about Zhou Jiuniang's injury?" Could it be that the knife edge is a problem again? ”

"Lord Xu." Chen Ying praised it insincerely, walked in front of "Zhou Jiuniang No. 1", turned her body, showed the two knife wounds on her body, and said: "The two knife wounds on Zhou Jiuniang's body, one in the lower abdomen and the other in the upper abdomen, are both very deep, almost piercing. ”

As she spoke, she still turned the paper figure to the side of the three officials, raised her hand and broke off a small part of her abdomen, revealing the cross-section, and continued: "Several adults, please see, the insertion and exit of this knife are a downward diagonal line. ”

She connected the lower back to the wound in her anterior abdomen to draw a "↘" diagonal line, and then connected the second knife wound to the beginning and end of the wound to produce the same "↘" diagonal line.
