Chapter VIII: Case Facts
The words that these officials of the Dali Temple around them talked about were very small. There is no internal strength in this world, let alone listening to the argument, Ji Zhen and Shen Feiyan naturally can't hear their words.
At this time, Ji Zhen and Shen Feiyan were listening to Zhang Yuzhen tell about the relationship behind the case. That is, what Shen Rong said before, the above people pay attention to.
"Why is this case getting attention? Because the deceased's name is Chen Yu, he is a very handsome man, and he is the face of the powerful woman above, and sometimes he can even enter the palace. ”
Ji Zhen and Shen Feiyan glanced at each other, no wonder the case was concerned. Presumably, this face head is still very popular with that woman. That's why I spoke, to solve the case and find the real culprit.
And the suspect is not easy to mess with, Zhao Shuqian, the top brand of Qinyuan Building, is not a performer. The key is not this, but because she was taken by King Rongqing and tried to ensure that she was not a murderer. ”
As soon as they heard the identity behind the suspect and the deceased, Ji Zhen and Shen Feiyan understood it in seconds. Either side is something that Dali Temple can't afford to provoke, and the key problem is that the case itself has not been completed.
Shen Feiyan asked, "How can King Rongqing guarantee that Zhao Shuqian is not a murderer?" You can't use his identity to oppress people, right? ”
Zhang Yuzhen shook his head, originally he didn't know the facts of the case, but now that the case is getting bigger, he almost wants to trigger the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he will have a three-hall trial with Dali Temple.
So, he now knows a little bit about the case.
Because he found out the time of Chen Yu's death, but during the period of his death, Zhao Shuqian was in the palace of King Rongqing, playing the piano and dancing for King Rongqing. Not only King Rongqing saw it, but also King Rongqing's family guards saw it. ”
Ji Zhen laughed, a perfect alibi!
In mystery novels, the most used is the trick of murder techniques, and this type of trick is really incredible. The other most commonly used is alibi.
At the time of the deceased's death, the suspect was not at the scene, but was with someone else. Then, of course, this suspect cannot be the murderer.
However, hearing this, Ji Zhen didn't ask. Sure enough, Shen Feiyan immediately asked again: "Since Zhao Shuqian was in the Rongqing Mansion at that time, why do you think that Zhao Shuqian is the murderer?" What is the relationship between Zhao Shuqian and Chen Yu? ”
"Zhao Shuqian used to be Chen Yu's wife."
Forehead...
This answer made Ji Zhen and Shen Feiyan speechless.
Zhang Yuzhen once again popularized the identity issue for the two of them, "Chen Yu and Zhao Lyric came to the capital three years ago. At that time, the two of them eloped, and they had not yet become married, nor were they husband and wife. ”
"However, Chen Yu has a good-looking skin, but he does not have the slightest real talent, and soon became addicted to gambling in the capital, and then the debts became more and more, so he sold his eloped wife to Qinyuanlou without any choice."
After Zhang Yuzhen said the identity issue, he stopped and took a sip of tea, "As for why we suspect that it was Zhao Shuqian who killed him, there are two reasons. One is because Chen Yu's communication with others is very narrow, and there is no other woman in contact with except the one above. And the men we contacted were almost all going to Chen Yu to get benefits, and it was almost impossible to kill him. ”
"And Zhao Shuqian, according to our investigation, she occasionally has a very secret connection with Chen Yu. Chen Yu's gambling addiction has never quit before, and he has asked Chen Yu for it several times when he has no money. ”
Shen Feiyan's eyes widened, "Chen Yu sold her to Qinyuan Building, and she gave Qian Chen Yu back?" ”
Zhang Yuzhen also agreed with Shen Feiyan's opinion, "Therefore, we think that Chen Yu must have taken Zhao Shuqian's handle, so that Zhao Shuqian had to give him money." We estimate that Chen Yu has been looking for her to get money, and she was overwhelmed and stabbed Chen Yu in the stomach. ”
Shen Feiyan nodded, there was indeed nothing wrong with the motive for the killing, and the killing method was also clear at a glance. However, Zhao Shuqian has an alibi!
"Are you sure that the time of Chen Yu's death is accurate?"
Zhang Yuzhen nodded, "Because of the pressure above, we asked a few servants to make sure together." Moreover, Chen Yu had a knife wound on his body, and the way of death was very obvious, and it was impossible to make a mistake. ”
With the spread of Song Ci's "Collection of Grievances", the level of his work has also been improving. Although it is certainly not as good as modern forensic science and technology, as Zhang Yuzhen said, Chen Yu's death method is very simple, and it is indeed not difficult to judge the time of death.
Not to mention the joint determination of multiple servants.
"Since Zhao Shuqian has an alibi, then she is not a murderer, and she should investigate others!" Shen Feiyan didn't have anything to say about Zhao Shuqian's alibi, "Han Li, what do you think?" ”
Ji Zhen didn't speak, just listening, almost making Zhang Yuzhen forget him. At this time, when she heard Shen Feiyan ask this, she also looked at him and said, "Master Han, what do you think?" ”
Ji Zhen smiled slightly, but did not say anything about the alibi, but asked Zhang Yuzhen.
"Master Zhang, you just said that there are two reasons why you suspect that Zhao Shuqian is the murderer, and what is the other reason?"
"Oh, yes." Zhang Yuzhen slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot, this is another reason, it is because of Yang Zhutou's words." He had an intuition that he felt that there was something wrong with this Zhao Shuqian, that is, he felt that she was a murderer. ”
"Intuition?" Shen Feiyan muttered.
"This Yang catcher is Yang Jin?" Ji Zhen continued to ask, he was involved in many cases in the Yamen in the capital, so he knew most of the Yamen's arrests.
"Yes, yes, it's Yang Jin. is an old catcher, has rich experience in handling cases, and is very discerning whether it is looking at people or things. ”
Ji Zhen nodded and agreed with Zhang Yuzhen's evaluation. Yang Jin is indeed as he said, with good observation skills, and his colleagues are delicate and pay attention to details.
"Why does he think Zhao Shuqian is the murderer?"
At this time, a man walked over, looking in his thirties and forties, dressed in a fast-catching costume, holding a knife in his left hand.
It was Yang Jin.
"Why are you here too?" Shen Feiyan asked.
"This case is under a lot of pressure, and we are working with Dali Temple to handle the case." Yang Jin said, but his eyes were always staring at Ji Zhen, his eyes flashed with fine light, and the expression on his face was very serious.
Showing a posture of wanting to win and lose.
"When I was investigating, I went to see Zhao Shuqian and felt that she was not a simple person. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and seems to be the Oiran in a brothel. However, she stayed in Qinyuan Tower for three years and still did not break. ”
"Moreover, she did not panic at all in the face of our quick investigation, but answered the questions in an orderly manner, as if she had already thought about it in her heart."
In the end, her eyes were definitely not the eyes of ordinary women in the deep boudoir. I could see in her eyes that she was extraordinary, not the eyes of a wealthy businessman's child. ”
"She's a woman from a wealthy merchant's family?" Ji Zhen asked.
Yang Jin nodded.
Ji Zhen nodded, indicating that he understood Yang Jin's words.
