Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 117 Blackmail
Glancing at the corpse again, Qian Wende spoke: "My lord, the grass people have never seen this person. ”
This is true, this corpse that he doesn't know where it came from, he has never seen it.
"Smack"
Shooting the shocking wood again, Chen Gongzhi was angry.
"This person was obviously beaten to death by Qian Shaocheng, and in order to cover up his crimes, your lord ordered you to dispose of the corpse secretly, so you found Cheng Tianli, who has always been in your hands, and asked him to dispose of the corpse, yes or no?"
"My lord, I am wronged." Qian Wende was really anxious: "This person really doesn't recognize it." ”
"If you say you don't recognize it, you won't recognize it, come to someone, go to the punishment, see how hard he is?" Under Chen Gong's order, the soldiers of Dali Temple entered the Qingping Hall with torture tools.
Seeing this, Qian Wende finally appeared a little frightened.
The punishment of Dali Temple is different from that of the Criminal Department and the City Government, the latter's torture tools may only make you suffer some flesh and skin, while the torture tools of Dali Temple can destroy a person's internal organs and make you immortal, even if you are a martial artist, you can't bear it.
"My lord, wronged, my lord, the grass people really don't know any beggars, my lord is a trick, I want the lord to sue the court and join you!" Qian Wende saw that the torture instrument was in front of him, he didn't want to become a waste, so he could only shout desperately.
"Wait!" Chen Gongzhi waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat.
Seeing this, Qian Wende was overjoyed: it is rumored that Chen Gongzhi is selfless and not afraid of power, but it is just like that, it seems that he is also a person who is afraid of things.
Chen Gongzhi smiled slightly, had a bottom in his heart, leaned over and said, "Beggar? What beggars? The official never mentioned the identity of the deceased, so why do you know that he was a beggar? ”
"This ......" Qian Wende's heart was cold, knowing that he had been cheated.
"How could the identity of the deceased be known without prior knowledge?"
"Smack"
"Still not from the truth?"
"My lord, the grass people only guessed that he was a beggar when they saw that he was ragged and his face was thin." Qian Wende's words began to lose confidence.
"Hmph." Chen Gongzhi sneered: "Your eyes are good, and you won't tell the truth, this official will convince you now." Someone come, and carry the beggar's body up to the temple. ”
Soon, the soldiers carried the body down and replaced it with the old beggar's body and went to the temple.
Previously, this corpse was deliberately paralyzed by Chen Gongzhi, he wanted to make the other party not confess in this way, but he didn't expect Qian Wende to really be fooled.
Originally, Chen Gongzhi still had doubts about this case, because everything came too suddenly, and the appearance of corpses and Cheng Tianli one after another showed that this matter was not just a murder.
But as the secretary of Dali Temple, he is only in charge of the trial, and he can't control the rest.
At this time, seeing that Qian Wende had leaked his mouth, Chen Gongzhi concluded in his heart that what Cheng Tianli said should be true, and the next investigation also had a direction.
"As you said, this is the corpse of an old beggar, Qian Wende, you can take a look."
The smell of corpses in the house made Qian Wende couldn't help frowning and covering his nose, where did he dare to look at the corpse, and said casually: "My lord, the grass people still say that, I don't recognize this person." ”
Chen Gongzhi didn't say much to him anymore, and ordered someone to remove the corpse's clothes, revealing the two bruises on his chest.
"The scars on the corpse's face, hands and right chest should have been caused by Qian Shaocheng when he clashed with him, and the fatal wound on the left chest was caused by you Qian Wende." Chen Gongzhi shouted angrily.
Seeing that what he said was the same as the facts, Qian Wende was shocked, this Chen Gongzhi really lived up to his reputation, which can be speculated.
But he still retorted: "If the adults insist on planting falsehoods, the grass people have nothing to say." ”
Qian Wende showed an innocent appearance, and he looked like a good citizen who had been wronged.
Cheng Tianli on the side saw it, if he didn't know the inside story, I'm afraid he would really think that he was wronged.
"The evidence is conclusive, and you cannot deny it." Gu Chengye took a step forward and said.
"Evidence? Hmph, where did the evidence come from, this adult took it out for the grass people to see. ”
"Okay, I'll let you die."
Gu Chengye walked up to the corpse, pointed to the fatal wound on his left chest, and asked, "What is this?" ”
Qian Wende's eyes were uncertain, and he lowered his head and replied: "It's just a bruise, what can it mean?" ”
"This is a fist mark, there is a square mark on the index finger, according to our verification, the square mark is a wrench finger print, that is, the murderer is a person wearing a jade wrench on the index finger, and you ......"
Speaking of this, Gu Chengye suddenly grabbed Qian Wende's right hand, revealing the wrench on his index finger.
"You're the murderer!"
"Boom"
Qian Wende's head roared, and he instantly felt that the world was spinning.
It turns out that the other party really has evidence!
However, he still remembered Qian Liangye's instructions to him, and he couldn't admit it if he was killed, so he still pretended to be calm and defended himself: "My lord, I am not the only one in this world who wears a wrench on his index finger, how can this mean that it was done by the grass people?" ”
"You are right, but the fingerprint on the corpse has subtle lines on it, presumably it is caused by the wrench worn by the murderer, and it is also engraved with patterns.
As soon as the soldiers rushed forward, Qian Wende was completely panicked.
"What are you doing? This is my personal possessions, how can I give them easily? ”
He knew that his wrench was specially ordered in a jade shop somewhere in the imperial city, and it was engraved with pine and cypress evergreen, which meant longevity, and the depiction on it must have been left on the corpse.
If they compare the wrench, it means that the evidence is conclusive, and he naturally refuses to live or die.
The soldiers stepped forward and wanted to forcibly take off the wrench, but Qian Wende actually stood up, broke free from the restraints suddenly, and tightly protected the wrench with both hands.
"Smack"
Suddenly, Chen Gongzhi angrily reprimanded: "Bold, dare to resist? ”
"My lord, if you want the wrench on the grass people, please issue a search warrant, otherwise the grass people will not obey." Qian Wende, as the head of the Qian Mansion, knows a little bit about the law.
If the penal department or city government wants to detain a person or conduct a search of his property, he must produce an arrest warrant, otherwise he will be committing an offence.
"Hmph, arrogant murderer, dare to coerce the law and order this official, today I really cut it first, everyone went up together, and took him down." Chen Gongzhi was also provoked.
Although he is iron-faced and selfless, he is not rigid in his actions, not as pedantic as Liu Renfang.
Qian Wende shouted loudly while struggling: "Chen Gongzhi, aren't you afraid that my uncle will join you and let you walk around without eating?" ”
"Take it!" Chen Gongzhi did not hesitate to order again.
More than a dozen soldiers controlled Qian Wende, and one of them reached out to take off the wrench.
Between the lightning and flint, Qian Wende suddenly exerted his strength, and a wave of energy pierced out of his right hand and hit the man's chest.
"Bang"
The man immediately flew out, his face pale and unconscious.
