"I am willing to bear the responsibility for the crime, and let the adults punish me." Gao Han bowed slightly to Lord Yang and solemnly promised. Lord Yang smiled approvingly at Gao Han.

This smile contains trust in Gao Han, which made Gao Han quite moved.

Just as everyone got up and went to the county hall, Gao Han saw Ji Xia staring at a place in a daze, "Miss Ji, what's wrong with you!" ”

"Don't you think he's suspicious?"

"You mean, Wang Yuanwai?"

"Hmm" Ji Xia nodded, "Did you just hear him say that Meng Jin committed suicide in fear of sin?" ”

"This ...... How did he know this? Gao Han said puzzledly, "Meng Jin has no relatives in this town, so the official government has not reported Meng Jin's death." I guess I heard from the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop! Let's go, the adults are still waiting for us in front of the hall. ”

This was an interrogation of only the deceased and the families of the deceased, which aroused the interest of the people, who stood outside the public court to watch.

Although Ji Xia was not from the Yamen, after Zhang Yanzuo's strike, she took his place in the duties of the Yamen, so Lord Yang allowed her to stand on one side in order to explain the results of the autopsy.

"Lord Yang, the old man heard that Meng Jin, a scholar who lives in the western suburbs, has committed suicide in fear of crime, and Gao Zhutou has not listened to what this unknown woman said, saying that the cause of the little girl's death is suspicious, and the old man wants to hear it."

Ji Xia felt that Wang Yuanwai was suspicious in the room, and now when he saw Wang Yuanwai saluting Lord Yang, he was wearing a jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand, and he saw from a distance that he seemed to have scars on his hands, and he had guessed seven or eight points in his heart, and turned to Lord Yang and saluted slightly: "Okay, please pass on the Miss Wang Xiuxiu and Meng Jin to testify in court." ”

"Ji Xia, this official heard Gao Han say that you have a lot of ability to examine the body, but Wang Xiuxiu and Meng Jin are dead, how can you testify in court."

"The corpse is the best evidence."

Lord Yang was stunned for a moment, "Someone is coming, and it is ...... to pass on Wang Xiuxiu and Meng Jin to the court."

After a while, the bodies of Wang Xiuxiu and Meng Jin were carried up.

"Okay, Ji Xia, Wang Xiuxiu and Meng Jin have gone to the court, you can start."

"Okay, then I'll tell you a story first......

"It's a corpse and a story, are you finished? Lord Yang is not easy to fool! Wang Hua looked at Ji Xia and didn't fight.

"Wang Yuanwai, don't worry, you must like this story." Ji Xia was not annoyed, and felt a little funny when he saw the appearance of Wang Yuanwai jumping to his feet.

"There was a scholar from a poor family, but he was talented and well-known in the local area. A local squire admired his talent and invited him to his home to be his daughter's teacher. This girl is a beautiful and simple girl, and she is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, she admires the talents of the scholar very much, and over time the two have a secret relationship, and there is a ......"

Ji Xia paused, and Gao Han's words seemed to sound in his ears, "Leave some dignity for Miss Wang", so she didn't continue to say more.

"What else?" Lord Yang asked.

"And the Covenant."

Gao Han understood what Ji Xia wanted to say in his heart, and cast a grateful glance at her.

Miss Wang's murder is already very pitiful, since the fact that she is pregnant does not do much to solve the case, and it cannot be verified in court, so Ji Xia chose to hide this part.

Chastity, how important it is to girls in this era, it is useless to let Miss Wang be criticized after her death.

"What does this have to do with Miss Wang's killing?" Lord Yang was a little puzzled.

"Lord Yang, I haven't finished yet."

Lord Yang had no choice but to wave his hand slightly, "Go on." ”

The two are stronger than Jin, but there is a huge gap in status and status, so they want to elope. Unexpectedly, on the night of elopement, the young lady was discovered by her father. Her father was a well-known figure in the local area, and he would never let such a corrupt thing happen, so he strangled his daughter to death in a fit of rage. ”

He then threw his body into the river, disguised as if he had drowned in the river. This man knew that he was an incompetent and fearless person, and as long as he could not find any suspicion, he would say that the young lady had drowned, and then he could get away with it. ”

"It's nonsense." Wang Hua heard Ji Xia alluding to him as a murderer, and reprimanded loudly.

Ji Xia ignored it and continued: "It's a pity that I happened to meet a smart, witty and beautiful woman, and I saw through the suspicious cause ......of the young lady's death at a glance."

"This person was worried that his deeds would be revealed, so he planned to do his thing, and when everyone carried the young lady's body to the yamen for examination, he secretly went to the scholar's house, strangled him to death, blamed him for killing the young lady, and forged a suicide note, pretending to be a scholar who committed suicide in fear of crime."

"Ji Xia, your story, the official understands it, but you said that Wang Yuanwai killed his daughter and scholar Meng Jin, is there any evidence?"

"The evidence is in the hands of the king!" As he spoke, Ji Xia walked up to Wang Yuanwai and raised his hand.

"My lord, I just said that Wang Xiuxiu was strangled to death, when this murderer committed the murder, Wang Xiuxiu struggled and left scratches on the murderer's hands, adults can take a look." Ji Xia grabbed Wang Hua's hand and showed it to Lord Yang.

"I was scratched by a cat!"

Ji Xia didn't listen to Wang Hua's argument at all, and then said: "Moreover, the wrench finger worn by the murderer is also printed on Wang Xiuxiu's neck, we have traced the finger marks on Wang Xiuxiu's neck, you can compare it." ”

As soon as Ji Xia's words fell, Gao Han ignored Wang Yuan's struggles, took off his jade wrench finger, and presented it to Lord Yang along with the drawings. After Lord Yang compared, he also understood: "Wang Hua, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" ”

The people outside the hall also seemed to understand, "How can it be a king, I really can't see it!" ”

Wang Hua sneered and said, "This is just your speculation, how could I kill my own daughter, and killing Meng Jin is even more nonsense!" ”

The killing of Meng Jin is indeed Ji Xia's speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence. In modern times, it is possible to find the murderer by comparing the DNA with the hidden blood stains in the rope, but for now, it is ......
