Zhao Si, Li Sanpao and Zhou Ye knelt in the court.

"Adult, the little one was really wronged, I didn't kill anyone, then everything is just a coincidence."

Zhao Si was so frightened that he kept kowtowing and admitting his mistakes.

Zhao Cike didn't care what they said, he just said: "You are not the official who has been wronged. ”

"Come on, bring things up."

A moment later, three or five men came to the public hall carrying strange square objects, covered with a layer of black cloth, which completely covered the contents of the contents.

The three of them were puzzled, and they didn't know what kind of reputation this master of the Criminal Division would do.

Zhao Ci spoke: "This thing is called 'Polygraph Fang Tian Box', as long as you put your hand into the box and touch the bottom of the box, and take out your hand within the specified time, if your hand turns black, whoever is a liar." ”

"You all claim not to be lying, and since you have a clear conscience, put your hand in the box."

saw that the faces of the three people had undergone subtle changes, and the three of them looked at each other, and they didn't dare to put their hands in.

"What? Scared?! Zhao Ci said deliberately.

"My lord, is this thing allowed? You can't misjudge, right? Li Sanpao said.

"This thing is a godsend, and it will never be misjudged, don't talk nonsense, quickly put your hand in it." Zhao Ci was furious.

All three of them reluctantly reached in.

......

At the time of a cup of tea, Zhao Ci said: "Take out your hands, whoever turns black is the murderer." ”

They hesitated to take their hands out of the black cloth, only to be ......

Zhao Si and Li Sancang's hands were covered with black ash, only the woodcutter Zhou Ye's hands were clean and spotless.

After a while, Zhou Ye said excitedly: "My lord, my hands have not turned black, I am innocent, I am not a murderer." ”

And the other two people were so sad that they couldn't laugh at all, and Zhao Si still shouted "wronged" vigorously.

Syllable!!

Zhao Ci slapped the shocked wood and said angrily: "Bold Zhou Ye, you haven't summoned all the murders." ”

Zhou Ye was stunned: "My lord, my hands haven't turned black, didn't you say it?" Only liars turn black. ”

Zhao Ci said angrily: "Lift the black cloth and let him see it clearly." ”

When the black cloth was lifted, it was an ordinary wooden box, and the bottom of the wooden box was smeared with black ash.

As long as you touch the bottom, the hand will be printed with black ash, and it will not prove whether you are lying or not.

On the contrary, only those who have ghosts in their hearts do not touch the bottom.

Zhao Si and Li Sanpao reached in and touched the bottom, while Zhou Ye pretended to touch the bottom, but in fact it was false and did not dare to do so.

Knowing that Zhou Ye was deceived, his heart was like ashes, he showed his true face, and his eyes were instantly full of killing intent.

His tone became extremely cold, and he asked puzzledly, "How are you sure that the murderer is between the three of us?" ”

At this time, Xiao Wuxin, who was in the back hall, walked out and said, "It's because of your perfect testimony." ”

"In your testimony, why were there always guests in your house on the night of the killing? Is it really a coincidence? Or did you do it on purpose?! ”

If one's evidence appears to be too deliberate, it is not accidental, but inevitable.

Zhou Ye wanted to cover up the fact of the murder, and deliberately found relatives and friends to testify for himself.

"That's all?" Zhou Ye asked rhetorically.

"Of course, it's not just that, your family is poor, and you can't invite guests a few times a year, so why do you treat guests one after another in these two months? This is one of the doubts. ”

"The second suspicion is that you, as a woodcutter, did not often go up the mountain to chop wood during this time, but always slept at home."

Xiao Wuxin sent someone to ask the woodcutter on the mountain, they and Zhou Ye were also old acquaintances, since two months ago, he rarely went to the mountain again.

"What about the evidence? If you rely on these conjectures, you are not condemning me. Zhou Ye said.

"You really don't want to die in the heart of the Yellow River." Xiao Wuxin glanced at Zhao Ci.

Immediately, Zhao Ci asked people to get several knives for chopping wood.

Zhou Ye's expression changed slightly.

Zhao Ci put the knives in the sun, but after a while, flies surrounded them and landed on one of the knives for chopping wood.

"A blood-stained knife will smell of blood even if it is clean, and as long as there is blood, flies will swarm." Xiao Wuxin explained.

He ordered the knife to be fetched, and at the end of the handle was written two words, "Zhou Ye."

Knives were controlled items in ancient times, and each knife had to be engraved with its name and registered.

"Zhou Ye! What else do you have to say now?! Zhao Ci said.

"Haha!! I can't think of it. Seeing that the evidence was conclusive, Zhou Ye was not hiding, and he laughed wildly.

Suddenly, he got up suddenly, strangled Zhao Si's neck, and he pushed the knife hidden in the cuff against it.

"Let me go, or I'll kill him." Zhou Ye took the hostages.

"Help, sir."

Seeing this, Zhao Ci didn't dare to act rashly, Xiao Wuxin said, "Let him go." ”

Zhao Ci asked the officials to get out of the way.

Zhou Ye took the hostages and walked towards the outside of the yamen step by step.

He kept tying Zhao Si and leaving the yamen, but when he arrived at the door of the yamen, Zhao Si suddenly took advantage of the other party's inattention and hit him on the chest with his elbow.

Another snatched the knife from Zhou Ye's hand, and inserted his backhand into Zhou Ye's chest, breaking his chest with a knife.

The accident came too suddenly, and Zhou Ye was killed by Zhao Si.

The whole process is done in one go.

This kind of legitimate defense does not need to pay any legal responsibility, but Xiao Wuxin can see from Zhao Si's methods.

This kind of skill is by no means a skill that a watchman should have, and disemboweling is very similar to the means of a killed woman.

Could it be that the real murderer is ......
