Chapter 55: The Truth Slowly Approaching
The shopkeeper nodded vigorously: "Well, I see, carrying a burden." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ling Xianjie and Chen Jinbao looked at each other for a moment, and then Ling Xianjie asked again, "Then did you see that person's face?" “
The shopkeeper recalled for a moment, nodded and said, "It seems that I saw it in a daze, but the villain doesn't remember what the man looks like." ”
Ling Xianjie put his hands behind his back and walked a few steps in a spin on the spot.
"Alright, let's take the shopkeeper down, and bring the next person in?"
The official of Dali Temple, who was in charge of the treasurer, walked up to Ling Xianjie and said, "My lord, there is no one left, this is the last one." ”
"Okay, here's coming!"
Several prison officials rushed in, clenched their fists and asked, "What do you command?" ”
"Escort him down, and don't leave the yamen until the case is over."
"Yes!"
Several prison guards escorted the shopkeeper away, and there was no blood on his body, but looking at him like he had suffered some kind of punishment, he had only one breath left.
"Tell me what the others have explained?"
"Yes! Adult"
The official of Dali Temple picked up a stack of papers on the table, sorted it out a little, and then began to read it.
"Regarding Jiang Han's interrogation:
Name: Han Jiang
Age.............."
"Okay, what's the use of talking about this, just tell me about the part where she stabbed people, did you ask for something?" Ling Xianjie said.
The official of Dali Temple looked for the part that Ling Xianjie wanted with his eyes, and then began to read it again.
The suspect confessed that he had dinner at about two o'clock in the afternoon on the seventh day of the new year (about half past eleven in the morning), and after the meal, he asked another suspect in the case: the inn guy to take a bath. While taking a shower, the suspect noticed that someone was peeking in the corridor outside the window, so he immediately got up and covered himself with his clothes, and then an unknown man rushed through the door and pressed the suspect on the bed in an attempt to rape him. The suspect shouted but no one came, and eventually the suspect grabbed the short sword tied to the back of his shirt and stabbed the man in the back. ”
The official of Dali Temple raised his head after reading it, Ling Xianjie looked at him and asked, "You just said that Jiang Han found someone watching her outside the window?" ”
The officials of Dali Temple immediately looked at what was written on the paper.
"Yes, sir."
Ling Xianjie nodded, then looked at Chen Jinbao, and said with a smile: "Chen Zhutou, it seems that he was indeed too confident at the beginning. ”
Chen Jinbao also smiled and nodded, and Wang Fugui, who was standing behind Chen Jinbao, looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, not understanding what the two were talking about at all.
"Continue where you just now."
The officials of Dali Temple looked for the place Ling Xianjie said with their eyes, and began to read aloud again.
"After the suspect stabbed the man with a sword, the man died on the suspect, and the suspect pushed the man to the ground. When the suspect saw that the man had fallen to the ground and was not moving, he assumed that the man was dead. The suspect was very panicked, got dressed and went out to look, and found that the guests downstairs were eating, and no one found that there was a dead person upstairs. Subsequently, the suspect found that the door of the Tianzi No. 1 room was not locked, so he dragged the deceased to the Tianzi No. 1 room and stuffed it under the bed. Then he left the Tianzi No. 1 room and returned to the Dizi No. 2 room. ”
"Uh-huh.........."
Ling Xianjie put his hands behind his back and made a sound in his nose. After a while, Ling Xianjie turned around and set his eyes on Chen Jinbao.
"Does Chen Zhutou think there is anything wrong with this testimony?" Ling Xianjie asked.
Chen Jinbao put one hand around his chest and touched his chin with the other hand and thought about it.
"My lord, the lower officials can't think of the deeper meaning of this testimony, only that Jiang Han didn't confirm whether the deceased was dead or not, and just relied on his eyes to see the person lying on the ground and not moving."
After hearing this, Ling Xianjie had a very relieved smile on his face. Then he turned his face to the official of Dali Temple and said, "I'm reading the testimony of the innkeeper about witnessing the tenant at noon." ”
The official of Dali Temple rummaged through a stack of papers, and then took out one and read it.
"The suspect is the only guy in the inn, and he did fetch water and bathe for the guests in the No. 2 room on the seventh day of the first month. In addition, the suspect said that the deceased in this case came to the inn at around noon on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year (12 o'clock at noon), the specific time is unknown, and also said that the deceased was carrying a burden. At that time, the deceased claimed that he wanted to come to stay but wanted to go to the guest room to have a look first, and after the suspect and the deceased went upstairs, they took a fancy to the Tianzi No. 1 room. After the suspect opened the door with the key, the suspect asked the deceased to see it alone, and the suspect did the same, because there were many guests downstairs at that time. When the suspect left, he told the deceased that if he wanted this room or wanted to change rooms, he would shout at the staircase, and collect the money for the room and the suspect would come upstairs himself......."
"Stop."
The officials of Dali Temple stopped, Ling Xianjie walked to Chen Jinbao's side with his hands behind his back, and asked, "Chen Zhutou, our first speculation seems to be very reasonable, but there is one thing that I don't understand." ”
Chen Jinbao nodded, thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case, at that time, the guy wanted to leave because there were many guests downstairs who wanted to go down to greet him, and the deceased came at this time, and as soon as he came, he said that he wanted to stay, and he also chose the No. 1 room of Tianzi. It is conceivable that at that time, even if the man did not leave, the deceased would take the man away. The guy didn't see anyone else in the room at the time. This case feels very clear now, but it doesn't seem to be able to explain a question, is this a coincidence or a false clue set up by the murderer?
Ling Xianjie walked to the official of Dali Temple again and said, "Keep reading." ”
The official of Dali Temple moistened his throat and began to read aloud again.
"After the suspect went downstairs, about a cup of tea (ten minutes), a man ran down from the stairs, and the suspect did not see the man's face, only that the man was dressed the same as the deceased, and was carrying a burden. The man walked straight to the outside of the inn, and said as he went, "Let's go, I won't stay in the store." "At this time, the suspect first went to the kitchen to bring the dishes that the guests were serving, and then went upstairs to lock the door."
Reading this, the official of Dali Temple stopped, and Ling Xianjie asked, "Is it gone?" ”
The official of Dali Temple nodded and replied, "Yes, my lord, this is the record of the suspect's sighting of the deceased." ”
Ling Xianjie put his hands behind his back and lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Hmm....... The witnesses were all justified in their explanations. ”
Then Ling Xianjie put his eyes on Chen Jinbao and asked, "Does Chen Zhutou feel that there is anything wrong?" ”
"Questions?"
Chen Jinbao didn't have any expression when he heard Ling Xianjie ask, because his impression of Ling Xianjie was that apart from his obsession with his master, he only had the personality of loving people's appetite.
He thought about it with one hand around his chest and the other on his chin, integrating all the thoughts and clues in his mind.
"On the night of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Han heard the sound of grinding teeth, and according to the iron filings found at the scene, it was speculated that someone was grinding the key that night."
"The deceased finished lunch on the seventh day of the first lunar month and left the master's house at about three o'clock in the afternoon (eleven :45 a.m.)."
Jiang Han asked the guy to fetch water and take a bath after eating at two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Around noon on the seventh day of the lunar month, the deceased came to the inn."
"After the deceased and his buddy went upstairs, because it was a meal, the buddy had to go down to greet the guests."
"Jiang Han found someone peeping at her outside the window when she was taking a bath, and then a man rushed through the door."
"Jiang Han stabbed the man with a sword and dragged the man into the No. 1 room of Tianzi."
"After the man took the deceased upstairs, the man who worked on a cup of tea and the shopkeeper saw a man dressed like the deceased running downstairs."
"The guy didn't go upstairs right away to lock the door and finish the dishes the guests asked for before going upstairs."
"The autopsy report of the deceased shows that the deceased died from 4 to 5 minutes (6 pm to 6:15 pm) of the unitary hour, and died of poison.
"The new autopsy report just now, the wound behind the deceased and Jiang Han's short sword do not match"
"The deceased was found today with a knife stuck in his back."
...........
Ling Xianjie saw that Chen Jinbao didn't reply for a long time, so he took the interrogation records in the hands of the officials of Dali Temple and flipped through them one by one......
"Hmm!"
