Chapter 20: The Evidence You Want
But the murderer was very cunning and refused to admit his guilt, so he asked him to go to Wu Yongle's old residence in the capital to have a look, and maybe he could find any evidence. You and I will go to Wu Yongle's house again now and look for it carefully. โ
Wu Yongle's home in Taoyuan County is in a remote courtyard on the outskirts of the city. There were no other courtyards around, and his house was alone in an open field.
"We had already visited his house since we caught him, and it was very rudimentary, and we didn't find anything. The guys in Drunken Xianju said that Wu Yongle had a very withdrawn personality, and never went to drink flower wine with them after every work, and always went home silently alone, as if there was something more attractive to him at home. At first, I thought he had a wife hidden in the house, but later I learned that he was a bachelor. โ
"Is there something more appealing to him at home?" Ji Xia said thoughtfully, "This is kind of interesting!" Let's go in and have a look. โ
As soon as the door opened, the air was filled with dust. Ji Xia couldn't help but sneeze.
What is this "home"?
As far as the eye can see, there is only a bed, a table, and a chair. The mattress was wet from the rain for days, damp and mixed with the disgusting smell of mold.
Dirty clothes and pants are piled up in the corner of the bed.
The wooden table was covered with dust, as if it hadn't been used for a long time.
There are no women to help take care of the housework, so I don't think he has a good time.
But the chair was unusually clean, and Ji Xia had the scene of Wu Yongle sitting on the wooden chair for a while every day.
The table was dirty, but the chair was clean, and it was obvious that he was not sitting on the chair to eat, so what was he sitting on?
She involuntarily sat down in her chair.
Dabao looked at Ji Xia's strange behavior and couldn't help asking, "Master, what's wrong?" โ
That Ji Xia turned a deaf ear and replaced himself in the role of Wu Yongle.
He killed all the people he thought should be killed, and he felt that he was a hero who eliminated harm for the people, then he must be very satisfied in his heart. This chair is so clean, he must have sat on this chair for a while every time he comes home.
He sat there, his eyes looking ahead. - It's a wall.
Ji Xia looked at the wall, looked at it for a while, stood up, and walked to the wall.
There are several bricks on this wall, apparently showing signs of being excavated.
She brushed the bricks from the walls, loosened the bricks, and pulled them out, revealing a rectangular wooden box.
Ji Xia took out the wooden box, put it on the table and opened it.
Dabao took a closer look, and his face suddenly showed surprise.
The smile on Ji Xia's face was faint, she had obviously expected what would appear after opening the wooden boxโsix beaded hairpins with blood stains, and five pairs of embroidered shoes with mud stains. Presumably, there must have been beaded hairpins and embroidered shoes of the two deceased people in the capital.
"Great, Master, let's take it back and see what he can do!"
During this interrogation, Lord Yang didn't talk nonsense with Wu Yongle, and directly put the evidence brought back by Ji Xia in front of Wu Yongle, "Wu Yongle, how do you explain this bloody bead hairpin and embroidered shoes?" โ
"This official reminds you again, the proprietress of Wanchun Building has confirmed that one of the pearl hairpins is Su Xiang's. Tell me, how did these things hide in your home? โ
Some fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Wu Yongle's forehead, obviously he didn't expect these things to be found.
Ji Xia seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said: "It's nice to go home every day and sit on a chair and reminisce about the killing scene, right?" โ
When Wu Yongle heard this, he suddenly went berserk and shouted: "What I regret the most is that I didn't kill you!" Got you out from under my nose! You slut, you wait for me, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you! โ
Ji Xia sneered and said, "I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity!" โ
At this time, the catcher who was sent to the capital to find Jin Zesen came back, only to see him walk up to the hall quickly, and said, "Lord Qiqi, Lord Yang, Jin Zesen, the head catcher in the capital, asks to see him." โ
"Biography."
I saw Jin Zesen walking quickly to the hall, and there were four servants behind him carrying a stretcher, on which was a highly decomposed female corpse, exuding a disgusting smell of decay.
Jin Zesen looked around slightly, saw Ji Xia and the others, and nodded slightly to Ji Xia and the others, which was regarded as a greeting.
Immediately stood in the hall, took four small servants, hugged his fists and saluted Lord Yang, and then said: "Hello Lord Yang, the subordinate is Jin Zesen in the capital, this is the corpse found by the subordinate in the old residence of Wu Yongle in the capital, and it is guessed that it is Wu Yongle's wife Zhao Yuqin. โ
Ji Xia glanced at it from a distanceโthe corpse was unrecognizable and unrecognizable. I don't know what this Kanazawa Sen thinks, he actually brought the corpse directly!
"Jin Zhutou, thank you for your hard work! The corpse was also specially brought. "Lord Yang has long heard Gao Han talk about Jin Zesen, and he has a very good impression of him, this evidence is obviously more intuitive and impactful, but it is really outrageous to directly transport this rotting corpse directly from the capital.
But as soon as Wu Yongle heard "Zhao Yuqin", he rushed directly towards the rotting corpse, regardless of the stench and disgusting, hugged it tightly in his arms, and gently comforted: "Qin'er, I miss you very much!" You will always belong to me, only I am sincere to you! โ
