CHAPTER XX

After several days of repeated interrogation of the people of the Ning Mansion and the entourage of the Duan Mansion, Mo Zhifu was even more convinced that Ning Yue was the perpetrator of this murder.

According to the mention of Ningfu maid Yumei, she had heard the second lady mention that the prince of Duan Mansion had intended to belittle the criminal Ning Yue but failed, and she thought that on the day of the crime, she must have repeated the old tricks, but she was poisoned before she achieved her goal...... Not bad! Definitely! Mo Zhifu stroked his handful of goat's whiskers and said meaningfully.

The master on the side hurriedly responded: "The prefect is wise!" According to the testimony of the rest of the Ning Mansion and others, no one stepped into the prisoner Ning Yue's room that day, so there are absolutely no two people who can commit the crime of murder! ”

Mo Zhifu nodded yes after hearing this, thinking that this thorny case finally saw the dawn of solving the case, his joy was self-evident. Nian Cong, it seems that you won't wait for your father to come back to close the case!

"Back to the adult's words," the servant on the other side saw that Mo Zhifu was full of spring breeze, so he hurriedly stepped forward to curry favor: "According to the villain's autopsy records, the cause of death of the Duan family was excessive blood loss, and he only had a head injury on his body. The blood-stained chair and the blood stains on the ground are ironclad evidence! ”

After listening to the words of the two, Mo Zhifu was even more confident, and he couldn't wait to show his skills in front of the emperor and all the courtiers. Now this official no longer needs to be afraid of the power of the two Shangshu lords, this time the evidence is conclusive, the evidence is ironclad, and no one can put a beak!

"I remember that the master said in the Ning Mansion that day, it is also possible that the son of the Duan family accidentally fell, so that there will be no prisoners?" Seeing that the three of them were talking about it, the head catcher disagreed in his heart and said coldly. One sentence after another, but they don't know that their so-called ironclad evidence is nothing more than their speculation, and if they use this as evidence to close the case, it will only make people laugh and be generous.

The three of them sank after hearing this, and Mo Zhifu was very dissatisfied with his questioning, glared at him and asked sharply: "Then according to your opinion, is there something hidden in this case?" ”

"The subordinates are ignorant, but with the existing testimony evidence, I am afraid that the suspect cannot be convicted." The headcatcher replied.

When Mo Zhifu heard this, he was annoyed: "How dare he question the decision of this official without his thoughts!" Come! Prisoner Ning Yue will be imprisoned on death row, and when the official plays the Holy Spirit, he will be executed on a certain day! ”

The two officials in the hall took the order and left.

Death row is more terrible than ordinary prisons, dark, damp and rancid, mixed with all kinds of desperate wails. In the blink of an eye, it was late autumn, and the bone-piercing autumn wind was wantonly scouring, snatching the only remaining temperature on Ning Yue's body. She huddled on the thatched pile in the corner of the cell, valiantly seeking warmth from the prickly thatch. Ever since she saw Ning Xue, Ning Yue's dead heart rippled. Yes, as long as the real prisoner can be found, then the Ning Mansion does not have to exchange her scapegoats for peace. Hungry and exhausted, there was only one thought left in her mind: Who blamed me for my sin?

"Little girl, if you think like this, you're going to a dead end!" A clear male voice sounded, breaking the despair in prison, like a bright light, penetrating Ning Yue's heart and rekindling her hope. Ning Yue came back to her senses and looked at the voice, only to see a tall and well-proportioned young man in gorgeous clothes, holding a folding fan in his hand standing in front of her cell, a pair of round eyes on his childish face winked at Ning Yue, and his lips were slightly raised to show friendship.

"Who is Childe? Why are you here? Ning Yue saw that the person in front of her was quite bookish, and she thought that she must not be a servant, but she had never seen anyone other than a servant on death row, and besides, it was strange that this person would talk to her who had committed a serious crime.

The young man grinned toothily and said happily: "Little girl, don't be afraid of me, I heard you crying out in prison for several days, and I came to see if you really have grievances, and if you do, maybe I can repay your innocence!" ”

Ning Yue saw the young man's eyes flashing with an interesting light, and his heart couldn't help but sink, it was really annoying that someone regarded the unjust case as an interesting thing. But thinking that he can go to death row, he must also be a powerful man, and it would be great if he could really clear his name. This may be my last chance, and I'm going to take it! Ning Yue struggled to stand up, walked over to the young man, and then snatched the folding fan in his hand with one hand and held it tightly. "Ning Yue is indeed wronged, but the son must do what he says!"

The young man saw that Ning Yue was using his folding fan as a threat, but he felt funny, and he was even more curious about the little girl in front of him. "This is natural, since I have made a promise, I will definitely investigate this case thoroughly, little girl, you just have to tell the truth about what you have seen and heard." After speaking, he straightened his chest and pretended to be trustworthy.

Ning Yue felt that this person must be an upright and kind person, so he told everything about the day, and did not dare to omit a single thing.

The young man frowned and pondered for a long time. Ning Yue was in chaos in the center of the prison, but she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing.

Half an hour later, the young man let out a long sigh and said, "According to your words, there are no witnesses or evidence, and it is really difficult to overturn the case......

Ning Yue's eyes were red after hearing this, and she was still powerless to return to heaven after all......

Seeing that Ning Yue was about to cry, the young man hurriedly comforted: "Little girl, don't cry! Although there is no evidence, it is not impossible to find another way! ”

"Strange way?" Ning Yue held back tears and looked at the young man expectantly.

The young man smiled slightly, and said proudly, "Do you remember what I said to you just now?" Investigation of cases can not lead to a dead end! Instead of thinking about who is to blame you, think about who is going to kill him. Seeing Ning Yue looking at him puzzled, he smiled even more and continued: "This is because there are so many people who may blame you, it may be people who have a grudge against you in the past, or it may be that it has nothing to do with you, but because it is most feasible to blame you, I chose you as the scapegoat, so I said that going to find the person who blamed you is undoubtedly walking into a dead end." However, it is much easier to find someone with a motive for killing him, and even if he is a heinous person, his enemies are certain, and if you interrogate them one by one, you will always find clues. When the young man saw that Ning Yue was listening, he smiled.

"Childe is right! However, I am not familiar with the Duan family's son, so how can I know why the person who wants to kill him is......" Ning Yue looked at the young man with wide eyes, hoping that he could say a solution.

"Hey...... The matter ...... Of course, you can't know about this...... And those who know about this matter may not want to tell it all......" After speaking, the young man was sad, and Ning Yue also fell into sorrow when he saw this, the people in the Duan Mansion had already identified me as a prisoner, how could they provide testimony for me to exonerate......

After a while, the young man reached out and touched Ning Yue's head, and said firmly: "I have read all the records of this case before coming here, I know that I may not be able to ask for more testimony when I come to see you, but if I don't come to see you, I can't know if you are indeed wronged, after this meeting, I believe in you, since I believe that you are innocent, I will not turn a blind eye, even if I want to compete with the powerful, I will investigate this case thoroughly, little girl, you just need to wait here for good news!" After speaking, he smiled at Ning Yue, waved his hand, and walked away.

Ning Yue looked at the folding fan he left behind, and his heart was a lot more stable, and in this long ordeal, there was at least a trace of sustenance......
