Chapter 881: Bet
Raising his eyes and looking around, although his face was still warm, the threat in his eyes was already obvious.
Xia Ye'er didn't know the turmoil of the moment just now, she wrapped her hands in a silk handkerchief and gently lifted Tian Jie's head, carefully examined the strangulation marks on his neck, there were indeed several, and they were of different severity, and then she carefully inspected Tian Jie's mouth and nose, and the gap between her fingers, and then stood up with a solemn face.
"Your Excellency,"
Xia Ye'er looked at Tian Shan and said amazingly:
"Your son was indeed strangled to death, but the murder weapon was not the thick hemp rope."
"Impossible."
He retorted at the moment, he had been in this job for many years and had a lot of experience, and he didn't believe he could be mistaken.
Xia Ye'er lightly hooked her lips, asked someone to bring a wide and soft strip of cloth, and then ordered Xiao Cheng to strangle her neck, Xiao Cheng didn't dare to do it, but for the sake of Miss's innocence, she could only bite the bullet.
Xia Ye'er's neck was soon strangled with a red mark, and everyone didn't know what Xia Ye'er was doing, so they waited quietly, and after a while, someone shouted:
"The strangulation marks on her neck are gone."
He wanted to look at it, but was quietly pushed away by Yu Hua, he carefully raised Xia Ye'er's head, and sure enough, the wide strangulation mark just now was gone.
"I see."
Yu Hua nodded clearly, with unconscious appreciation and distress in his eyes.
"Through my preliminary examination, I found that in addition to those deep strangulation marks on Tian Jie's neck, there is also a horizontal strangulation mark that is so faint that it is almost impossible to see the traces.
Moreover, I found not only the medicinal powder in the mouth and nose of the deceased, but also the faint silk fibers, based on which, I boldly speculated that Tian Gongzi had actually been strangled to death a long time ago, and in order to hasten his death, the murderer also covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief soaked in medicinal powder. After Tian Gongzi's death, the murderer quickly disposed of the strangulation marks, and then replaced them with coarse cloth hemp rope to make several strangulation marks of different shades, creating the appearance of being strangled to death by an undersized woman. ”
He also saw the horizontal strangulation mark, the wound was very smooth, it should have been done by a man, and he said this conclusion with a complicated expression for a while.
"Who knows if you did this kind of thing on purpose, and then clarify it yourself afterwards to get rid of suspicion."
It was the palace maid who said this just now that she was the one who lived here, but Xia Ye'er was unusual, and nodded at her:
"Good question."
"Now I'm going to go through the whole process, and everyone here can question and assume at any time. First of all, the motive for killing, everyone knows that I am in the palace on weekdays, rarely move, and I don't even know Tian Gongzi very well, in this case, what reason do I have to kill him? ”
"Tian Gongzi has humiliated you...... He said that you seduced the prince of Yuhua, and also said that you were a fox and a charmer. ”
The little palace maid just now timidly said what she knew, and it was this palace maid, who the hell was, bent on killing Xia Ye'er.
Xia Ye'er is not in a hurry:
"Okay, if I really have a grudge and want to kill him, and Tian Jie comes to my yard and provokes me again without knowing whether he is alive or dead, so I will first ask a man to strangle him, and then create an illusion myself, and then bury Tian Jie in the bamboo forest, and then write and act in this play by myself today, all this seems to be very logical, but who can tell me that there is a very important thing that has been missed?"
"Time." Yu Hua said lightly:
"Master Tian also said just now, the palace maid in the palace saw you and Tian Jie arguing in the courtyard, when did that palace maid see it?"
"It's unitary, I remember it very clearly, it was already a little dark at that time, and the imperial dining room had already passed the meal, I watched Miss Ye'er and Young Master Tian quarrel in the Tai Hospital from a distance, I was a little scared, and I couldn't see Sister Xiaocheng, so I left first."
"I wasn't in the room when I was there, and I didn't quarrel with Tian Jie, in fact, I didn't see Tian Jie all day yesterday."
"You're not here, and you haven't seen Tian Jie, is that palace maid a ghost?"
Yu Zheng asked sharply, obviously not believing it.
"Of course it's not her ghost, did you clearly see me and Tian Jie arguing?"
Xia Ye'er looked at the little palace maid.
The little palace maid shook her head hesitantly:
"No, I saw you from afar and left."
"Then that person can't be Tian Jie." The one who has been silent has spoken:
"If judging from the previous wounds, Tian Jie did die after the unitary time, but if he was strangled to death with a wide cloth strip before those scars were made, then the time of death should be pushed forward, and it is impossible to be alive after the unitary time."
"So, if I killed the person, if I wrote and acted in today's game, that is to say, I know the real time of Tian Jie's death, then I will not quarrel with him in the unitary time, and I will definitely do it with the unitary time earlier, otherwise I will contradict myself."
"If it's not you and Tian Jie who are arguing in the yard, then who will it be?"
Yu Zheng still didn't give up, and the palace maid who identified Xia Ye'er just now was also helping on the side.
The palace maid who identified Xia Ye'er was called Yuanyuan.
"How do I know that?"
Xia Ye'er frowned.
Yu Zheng said quite domineeringly:
"Everything you say is speculation, there is no evidence, you can't prove that you were not in the room at the time of the unitary, and you are still guilty of guilt when the real murderer has not been found."
"What if I can find the murderer?"
Xia Ye'er looked directly at Yu Zheng:
"Let's make a bet, just bet on whether I can catch the real murderer."
"Okay." Yu Zheng happily agreed, and hooked his lips with bad intentions:
"It's just that what capital do you have to bet with me?"
"Of course there is," Xia Ye'er also smiled, but it didn't reach the bottom of her eyes,
"A feud between us."
Yu Zheng was slightly stunned.
"If I catch the real culprit, we will write off the last incident, and there will be no more to do with it, if I can't catch it, I will let you deal with it."
"Okay."
Yu Zheng coldly spit out this word for a long time.
"In that case, then I will be your guarantor, so that no one will regret it when the time comes."
Yu Hua was not afraid of big things, and stood intimately behind Xia Ye'er:
"Second brother, you won't mind."
"Whatever you want."
Yu Zheng flicked his sleeves and strode away.
The bet between Xia Ye'er and Yu Zheng is three days, and as a guarantor, Yu Hua naturally needs to stay by Xia Ye'er's side at all times.
But Xia Ye'er didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and on the first day, she practiced the words all morning, and played a set of punches that she couldn't understand. In the afternoon, she went out for a trip, but she went to see the performances of some Jianghu artists, including sword swallowers, jugglers, and ventriloquists.
