Chapter 136: The First Glimpse

readx;? After Yang Jing finished investigating the scene of the practice room, he asked Luo Jin to bring all the relevant personnel in the Zhao Mansion over for interrogation, but he didn't expect to learn another insider from Huaihua'er's mouth, and even let Luo Jin bring the florist's son Xiaohu in.

This little tiger is also in his early twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, and very thick lips.

Yang Jing looked at Xiaohu and found that he, like Huaihua'er, didn't dare to look at the couch, as if there was a fierce tiger entrenched there, and his body subconsciously stayed away from the couch.

"What's your name, and what are you doing in the Zhao Mansion?" Yang Jing asked with a blank face, pretending to be majestic.

This interrogation is also skillful, these gentlemen have a strong ability to resist pressure, and the effect of using Huairou policy will not be too significant, it is better to hit his psychological defense line first, so as to ensure that their confessions are true and detailed.

Xiaohu raised his head slightly, but he didn't dare to look directly at Yang Jing's gaze, and replied with a stammer: "Villain... The villain's name is Zheng Xiaohu, and he is a handyman in the house, and some chores are generally asked to do the villain..."

As soon as Xiaohu's words fell, Yang Jing slammed the table and asked in a deep voice: "Zheng Xiaohu, where are you at the beginning of the fourth watch on the ninth night of the first month of August!"

Zheng Xiaohu was so frightened by the sound of slapping the table that his body trembled, although he had been mentally prepared, he still swallowed hard and became even more stammered.

"Big... Adult... The villain is in... Sleeping in the room... Sleep... I slept until dawn and didn't hear about it... I heard that the old man died..."

"Nonsense! Huaihua'er has confessed, she found you that night and asked you to go to the practice room to look for clothes, you didn't believe Huaihua'er's words, thinking that Zhao Gaoyi had tarnished Huaihua'er's innocence, so he killed Zhao Gaoyi while he was drunk and unconscious!"

Yang Jing also grasped Zheng Xiaohu's psychology, Huaihua'er's appearance and figure are not bad, she came out of the old man's practice room wrapped in a quilt, and she was crying and crying and frightened excessively, even if Huaihuaer said that she was not bullied, Zheng Xiaohu, as a man, would believe it?

In this way, Yang Jing said Zheng Xiaohu's psychological thoughts at that time, and Zheng Xiaohu hurriedly knelt down and argued: "My lord! The villain is wronged! When the villain touched the practice room, the master was already dead!"

"The villain does... I really want to get justice for Huaihua'er, but when the villain went in, the old man was already dead... The villain was worried that he would be misunderstood, so he went to the laundry room to get a quilt, and he didn't find Huaihua'er's clothes, so he had to go back, and then the villain accompanied Huaihua'er..."

"How do you know that Zhao Gaoyi is dead?"

"Our lord will snore when he sleeps on weekdays, but when the villain went in that night, the lord didn't snore, I thought he was pretending to be asleep, and he didn't dare to go in, and after waiting for a cup of tea, he mustered up the courage, sniffed and touched the veins on his neck, only to find that the lord was dead..."

"Your Excellency... The small sentences are all the truth, please learn from the adults!" Zheng Xiaohu finished saying this, and immediately kowtowed to Yang Jing constantly.

Yang Jing thought for a moment, and then said to Zheng Xiaohu: "Don't be busy kowtowing first, let me ask you first, did you find anything unusual when you entered the practice room?"

"Unusual situation? villain... The villain was panicked at the time, and his confused mind was blank... So... I didn't pay that much attention to it..."

Yang Jing couldn't help frowning, but Wang Buliu next to him said, "You'd better think of something, you must know that this matter is related to your innocence!"

This sentence poked Zheng Xiaohu's worry again, he held his head in both hands, grabbed his hair hard, kept gently knocking his head on the floor with his head, and suddenly raised his head after a long time, and said excitedly.

"I remember! I remember! That one... When I covered the quilt for my lord... He... He put it in a row... Got a couple of farts... I was so startled that I escaped before the quilt could be closed..."

"Fart?" Yang Jing was also a little puzzled, but after a person dies, the body organs will lose their function, and it is not impossible for the gas in the body to be discharged automatically, and the value of this clue is not very great.

Yang Jing saw that Zheng Xiaohu really couldn't say anything, so he had to let him out, and told him to stay in the mansion during the investigation and not go out, otherwise he would abscond for fear of crime, which made Luo Jin call in the first person who found Zhao Gaoyi's death.

But this time there were two people who came in, one was the maid who called the door in the morning, and the other was the guard who knocked on the door and entered.

This girl is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, she is an old girl, she is relatively old, and she is also safe in doing things, so she is responsible for Zhao Gaoyi's diet and treatment of people, and the personal guard is a black-faced man in his thirties, and he is Zhao Gaoyi's confidant.

"Did you notice anything unusual when you banged on the door and entered?"

The girl and the guard looked at each other, and then tried to think about it for a moment, and the guard shook his head first.

"After receiving the news, he rushed over, and after knocking on the door, he didn't find the commander, so he turned to the inner room, and then found that the commander was lying on his back on the edge of the couch, his face was dead white, and his body was cold..."

"Oh yes, Commander... The conductor made the adults have urine under them... The whole lower body stinks..."

When a person dies, he will be incontinent, which is the same as what Zheng Xiaohu said, and it does not have much forensic value, and Yang Jing is also a little disappointed.

He turned his gaze to the girl again: "What about you? Did you find anything unusual?"

"If you want to talk about anything unusual, the slave didn't notice it... But... But when he was restrained by the master, he once ran out and vomited..."

"Did you vomit?" Yang Jing was a little surprised this time, according to Luo Jin's statement, Zhao Gaoyi's death was quite clean, there were no scars on his body, and there were no signs of poisoning.

This also reminded Yang Jing that now is also the time to open the coffin to take a look at the body, after the preliminary search and interrogation, Yang Jing also has the bottom in his heart, and then as long as the coffin is opened for autopsy and verified one by one, it can be confirmed who is lying and who is telling the truth.

But before that, he still needs to interrogate one person, and that is the puppet.

After Yahuan and the guards went out, Luo Jin brought him in.

This is a thin and swarthy old man, the left corner of his mouth is a little crooked, and his lower lip is turned up, revealing sparse and black teeth, and his appearance is really not good-looking.

"You gave Zhao Gaoyi the restraint that day?"

"Yes. ā€

"Let's talk about the situation first. "This is not a work of the government, but a folk work found by the Zhao government itself, so there is no statement to fill in the corpse grid, Yang Jing can only let him describe the situation verbally.

"Yes, sir. ā€

"When the villain came, he found that there was a commotion outside the practice room, the ladies, the maids, and the servants were crying profusely, and there were many military men guarding it, and a young lady disliked the old and ugly appearance, saying that she offended Lord Zhao and wanted to change it, but the eldest lady said that it was better to quickly rein in the burial and put it into the ground, although later Lord Luo did not agree to be buried, but the eldest lady still rewarded the villain with a thousand hand-washing money..."

Yang Jing's fingers were originally tapping lightly on the tabletop, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but stop, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes had more brilliance, but he still motioned for him to continue.

"The villain is far away... Hey... But the eldest lady is really a good person, and she doesn't have anything to say about dealing with people..."

"The villain cleaned up Lord Zhao's body at that time, but it was also clean, and he quickly cleaned it up, and asked people to prepare a coffin and stop at the mourning hall..."

Yang Jing was somewhat disappointed in his heart, but most of the duties of these folk servants were to collect the corpses, and they were not like the yamen to investigate and inspect the corpses, unless there were particularly obvious traces, they would report it, but they also needed the consent of the family.

Thinking of this, Yang Jing lowered his face and continued to ask at this work.

"You said that there was nothing abnormal about Zhao Gaoyi, but why did Yahuan say that he ran out and vomited when he saw you retracting, what is going on!"

When he heard Yang Jing ask like this, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly knelt down and explained with a guilty face.

"Adults should know... To do our business, you must be bold, your heart and liver must be hard, your throat must be deep, and you can't make a fuss like ordinary people when you see anything, otherwise your reputation will not be good, and people will not be happy to look for you next time..."

"When I cleaned up Lord Zhao's body that day, Lord Zhao's stomach suddenly squirmed, like a large number of snakes rolling around in it, and the belly was bulging high, although the villain had never seen it, but I had heard from my peers that it was said that there was still filth in the body of the deceased, and it needed to be discharged, otherwise it would be a ghost..."

Thinking of this stubble, the villain had the courage to press Lord Zhao's stomach, this stomach was pressed down, but I didn't expect Lord Zhao to let out a large string of farts, the fart was very smelly, and the old man couldn't hold back for a while, just... I threw up..."

"How else to say that the eldest lady has a good heart... Afterwards, she didn't blame the villain, but rewarded her with an extra string of money for washing her hands..."

"Another fart?" If Zheng Xiaohu didn't pay enough attention to Yang Jing when he proposed it, then when he mentioned it again, he had to make Yang Jing think deeply.

Yang Jing pondered for a moment, but decided to open the coffin first, so he took Wang Buliu and Lu Changan, as well as the servant, out of the practice room.

Luo Jin took a group of personal soldiers and gathered all the relevant people in one place, and was waiting outside the door now, seeing Yang Jing coming out, Luo Jin immediately greeted him, and asked Yang Jing: "Lord Yang, do you have eyebrows?"

Yang Jing glanced at Luo Jin, chuckled, and teased meaningfully: "Lord Luo seems to be in a hurry..."

Luo Jin hurriedly waved his hand, and sneered with a dodging gaze: "Don't be in a hurry, not in a hurry... I'm in a hurry..."

Yang Jing shook his head lightly, ignored it anymore, and said to him: "The official is going to open the coffin for an autopsy, you go and talk to the eldest lady, and let the people in the mourning hall avoid it for the time being." ā€

"Do you still want to open the coffin..."Luo Jin couldn't help but be disappointed, he thought that Yang Jing had solved the case and could decide the case without opening the coffin, but he didn't expect to disturb Zhao Gaoyi's rest in the end.

However, he didn't want to say anything more, so that the people outside the practice room dispersed, and then went to the mourning hall.

Yang Jing was about to follow, but saw Lu Baiyu walk out of the crowd and whispered to Yang Jing.

"There was an old mother who got up that night and said that she saw the acacia flowers..."

Because Lu Baiyu is a woman, it is easy to gain trust, so Yang Jing asked her to stay outside and ask the people of the Zhao Mansion for news, after all, the people in this compound are still more gossipy, more curious, and the gossip is actually very valuable sometimes.

Lu Baiyu really didn't disappoint Yang Jing, Yang Jing heard this clue, and immediately asked: "Is the old mother seeing Huaihua'er three corrections?

Lu Baiyu was slightly stunned, and then shook his head and said: "No, the old mother said that it was between the second correction and the first moment of the third watch, Huaihua'er looked a little flustered, and came out of the practice room, and the old mother also greeted her, but she ignored it and left in a hurry... As for wrapping in the quilt, there should be no problem, otherwise the old mother will definitely say, this old mother loves to chew the root of the tongue the most, if it is really just wrapped in the quilt, I am afraid that the house will have spread a long time ago..."

"Two corrections..."Yang Jing couldn't help but doubt in his heart, if this was the case, then the person hiding in the practice room was very likely to knock Huaihua'er unconscious, change into her clothes and go out.

But the problem is that Zhao Gaoyi's death time is about that time period, if she leaves, then after Zheng Xiaohu leaves, only the dead Zhao Gaoyi will be left in the practice room, so who locked the door?
