Chapter 61: Case Closure (2)
The county magistrate twisted his beard and looked at the scholar kneeling in the court, and there was some pity in his eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lord Ling, what do you want to say about Liu Song's crime?" The county magistrate asked.
Ling Xianjie smiled at the county magistrate, and then said: "This person steals and sells the burial goods of King Jing's tomb and instigates others to kill people, both of which will lose his head." ”
Liu Song hurriedly knocked down and shouted: "My lord, what are you talking about, the students don't know anything, the students are wronged!" ”
"Shut up!"
Ling Xianjie's voice directly covered Liu Song's voice. And Liu Song also stopped kowtowing and stood up, with a murderous aura in his eyes.
Chen Jinbao couldn't help but be a little scared when he saw Liu Song's eyes, he never expected that this rotten Confucian scholar would have such eyes.
"My lord, if you want to say that the student committed these two crimes, then please show evidence."
After Liu Song said this, his eyes were fixed on Ling Xianjie. Chen Jinbao felt this kind of atmosphere in the court for the first time, this Liu Song is indeed not simple, but thinking about the case during this period of time from beginning to end seems to have nothing to do with Liu Song. The only time was Liu Songdang's witness.
Liu Song's cold eyes kept staring at Ling Xianjie, Ling Xianjie did not show weakness, a pair of murderous eyes also stared at him, and the two kept looking at each other.
"That's it! Bring a person's card! ”
Ling Xianjie shouted, and the two stopped looking at each other. Chen Jinbao knew that if his guess was correct, the person Ling Xianjie said was the traveling businessman.
After a while, You Shang was escorted up by two Dali Temple officials, and before the county magistrate could ask, Ling Xianjie shouted.
"Say, did he tell you about the murderous plan?"
You Shang turned his head to look at Liu Song, shook his head and said, "My lord, the villain has already said that the murder plan was conceived by the villain, and no one has told the villain. ”
Chen Jinbao could see that Ling Xianjie was a little angry, and it would definitely not be good for him to be in a hurry at this time.
"The officer told you that he couldn't save you. This official is the biggest, and if you tell the truth, the official can deal with it at his discretion! Ling Xianjie shouted.
"Huh!"
Liu Song let out a very strange laugh, and then said: "Hahahaha, the adult is indeed a big official, and we grass people really can't afford to provoke it, but if the truth that the adult says is what this person says..... Hahaha, students really can't help it, who made you an adult? ”
Ling Xianjie's eyes were almost congested when he heard this, but there was no point in being anxious now, including strangling him, because in this way, the yamen would become the party that was at the loss.
"Master, Lord Ling not only has human witnesses, but also physical evidence to prove Liu Song's crimes." Chen Jinbao said.
The county magistrate asked, "Where is the physical evidence?" ”
Chen Jinbao turned his head to look at Ling Xianjie, who was now in full blood.
"My lord, the note." Chen Jinbao said.
Ling Xianjie took out the note from his arms, and Chen Jinbao took it and presented it to the county magistrate.
"Look, sir, this note is something you have read before, and it is evidence in the previous case. Tell me in front of Lord Ling, is this note Liu Song's handwriting? ”
The county magistrate picked up the note and read it, without saying a word, with an uncomfortable expression on his face. Ling Xianjie looked at the county master's expression and said, "My lord, if you can't answer truthfully, then this official will order someone to search your house for the calligraphy and paintings left by Liu Song." ”
"Hahaha!"
Liu Song laughed, and then said, "If the adult said that this note was written by a student, then the adult really has some insufficient evidence." The character book is a way of writing, and the student also writes with a brush, even if the handwriting is somewhat similar, what evidence is there that the student wrote? ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he looked at Ling Xianjie with some fear, and said: "Lord Ling, it's true, Liu Song's words are very neat, and the words of this note are also relatively neat, this ........."
Chen Jinbao and Ling Xianjie were a little helpless, you must know that the two of them had these two pieces of evidence in their hands.
"Hoo ......"
Ling Xianjie took a deep breath, the expression on his face was much better, and then he walked up to Liu Song and asked, "Very good, you have a bit of a brain." The official is now asking you, you have left after the ghost house case, when did you come back? What are you doing back? ”
Liu Song replied: "The student came at about four o'clock (two o'clock in the afternoon) on the sixth day of junior high school, because the student study tour has been effective, so he came back to the county lord to make an appointment to be a master, if the adult does not believe it, you can go to see the account book of the student's inn to see if the student is lying." ”
Liu Song's tone of voice did not look like a criminal at all, it seemed that he had thought of almost every place.
"So where have you been in the past nearly half a month since the ghost house case?" Ling Xianjie asked again.
Liu Song lowered his head and smiled, and then replied: "There are many places where students go, and they have visited many literary friends, and there are also reclusive literary friends among some mountains and forests. If you don't believe the students, you can write a list, and the adults can arrest them one by one and interrogate them. ”
Liu Song said this kind of thing obviously to provoke Ling Xianjie, if Ling Xianjie was provoked and said that he wanted to beat Liu Song or kill Liu Song, then he would lose everything, not only the reputation of the yamen would be ruined, but even Chen Jinbao and Zheng Qing would have to bear the infamy.
"Liu Song, then why didn't you come back to the yamen, you have to go to the hotel?" Chen Jinbao asked.
Liu Song turned his head to look at Chen Jinbao, and then said: "Because the student can't pull his face to ask for friends, the county master originally wanted the student to be a master, but the student politely refused, and now because of the money, he has to come back and ask his friends to take him in, which is really a bit ........ Ay! ”
"Liu Song, it's not bad for you to come early, you see it's making trouble now."
The county magistrate began to help Liu Song speak, which made Ling Xianjie very angry.
"Shut up!"
Then Ling Xianjie asked again: "Today is the tenth day of the first month, and you came back on the sixth day of the first month, and you have been thinking about this for four days?" ”
Liu Song replied: "My lord, the student didn't think about this matter for so long, he originally wanted to come yesterday, but yesterday he saw that the yamen was busy, so he thought that he would go back first and wait for the yamen to finish before coming." Who knew that he was invited by the yamen today. ”
Chen Jinbao thought about it, yesterday was when Yang Ming's case was closed, and now that I think about it, the deceased in the previous case and the deceased in this case were both killed on the seventh day of the first month. But what's the point?
"You've really been thinking about this for three days? The official asked you, who did you meet on the seventh day of the new year? Ling Xianjie asked.
Liu Song looked at Ling Xianjie with a mocking look in his eyes, and then said, "Inn guy, who else is the shopkeeper?" The rest of the time, students are writing and drawing, and if you don't believe it, you can go to the student room. ”
Chen Jinbao couldn't interject at all, he only had a human witness and a physical evidence in his hand, but this physical evidence was no longer usable, and the human evidence would not let go. The person was caught by Ling Xianjie, and the clues were only available to Ling Xianjie, because he did not kill anyone, and he was not worried at all that the government would come up with evidence accusing him of murder. What if there is no evidence against him?
