Chapter 14: You Lie to Me!
In the cell of the Qingzheng Division's prison, Yun Niang was tied to a wooden pillar and was unconscious, the cold moonlight sprinkled on her body through the skylight of the cell, and after the torture, the prison uniform on her body was stained with blood, revealing the whiplash wounds that opened the flesh and blood.
"My lord, the female prisoner is silent and doesn't recruit anything."
The jailer took the whip and saluted the man standing in the doorway.
Jiang Xie and Huo Yijun walked into the interrogation cell, the smell of blood filled the air, a brazier was set up in the corner, a red-hot soldering iron was inserted in the crackling firewood, and occasional sparks splashed to illuminate the darkness of the prison.
Huo Yijun put her hand to her nose, and she said that reacting to the unpleasant smell was more about shaping her discomfort when she first entered the cell, and the environment of the interrogation was too familiar to her, and she didn't want to show any flaws.
Jiang Xie threw the long sword to the jailer and walked over there, and as he walked, a dagger with a black and gold scabbard appeared on the thin waist inside the official uniform.
"I don't know Yun Niang, but it's your real name?" Jiang Xie stood in front of Yun Niang, and a shadow shrouded her body.
No matter what punishment Yun Niang didn't react, but after hearing Jiang Xie's words, she slowly raised her head, her messy hair blocked her forehead to reveal her dead and dull eyes, she opened her mouth and whispered: "My lord, I was wronged."
Jiang Xie hooked his lips and snorted coldly: "The person who was caught here is never a good person, in the opinion of this company, you are not wronged." ”
"Why do you say this......" Yun Niang asked weakly.
Jiang Xie paced in front of her, saying as she walked, "There are two reasons. ”
"First, you and we didn't meet by chance in the Wuli Mangosteen Forest, it was already midnight, and a woman of yours appeared to stop us and others, in order to let us know the legend of the paper man's soul and murder, and wanted us to lead the case of the sky lantern to the paper man's soul murder to cause inducement."
"Second, you once said that Liu Wang's family went out to die, but her bones were packed in a paper piercing person, and the time of death was more than ten days, and you didn't react after getting along for so long, until after the sky lantern dumping case, we came to look for the lantern shop, and you appeared, obviously you knew in advance, so you made a mistake."
"There's a third point."
Huo Yijun stepped forward to join the inference: "Yun Niang still remembers, I was thirsty and wanted to go into the house to drink water, as Liu Da's wife, you looked for a water scoop for a long time, and in the end, the water you boiled and scooped was still the water used outside to extinguish the fire, and the real water tank was in the corner of the house, and there was no second person in the whole house, which means that you are not familiar with Liu Da's room, and you are not husband and wife at all." ”
"Also, when we asked why the paper man wanted to kill you, you said that the paper man only listened to Liu Da, and also said that he manipulated the paper man to kill people, which shows that you changed the topic and deliberately avoided it, and the purpose of doing so was to set up a blame."
After hearing this, Yun Niang lowered her head and sneered: "These are your inferences and assumptions, why should I blame me?" ”
"For thou shalt sit down to the Tinker for murder, and bear the penalty for thee."
Jiang Xie and Huo Yijun looked back together, and at this time, Xiang Xiu returned with someone to copy the lantern maker's house.
He scrambled and opened a wooden box containing a blood-stained dagger.
Yun Niang's eyes widened, raised her eyebrows, stared in disbelief, opened her mouth in a daze, and it took a long time to speak, and her voice became sharp: "This is impossible, where did you find it!" ”
"In that locked firewood room." Jiang Xie walked back to her again with a short sword.
"I didn't throw it there!" Yun Niang looked nervous.
Jiang Xie raised his eyebrows, and then asked, "Then where did you throw it?" ”
"I'm buried!!"
Yun Niang suddenly felt bad after speaking, and changed her words again: "I don't know what you said!" ”
Jiang Xie picked up the short sword and looked at it carefully: "It turns out that you buried the murder weapon, no wonder you didn't find anything in the lantern maker, this short sword is just a weapon that I deduced from the reverse based on the shape of Liu Wang's fatal wound, and I told Lord Xiang to find a similar one casually." ”
Yun Niang leaned forward, her two arms were tied to the torture rack and struggled, and she roared: "You lie to me!" ”
"Confessing is your only chance to live, why kill Liu Wang!"
