"Who are you."
Dali Temple Qing Yun Hanchi frowned and looked at the men in the audience. Just now, Nie Shilei seemed to be pointing randomly and picked someone out from the crowd, but this man stood there with his head lowered and remained silent.
Hanchi is suspicious.
"Search."
With a look from the Dali Temple Minister, the officials on both sides would step forward and hold the man down.
"The Temple Minister Mingjian!"
The man hurriedly said: "I am a servant from the prince's palace in Changxiang County. I came here by chance and was bitten and framed by the suspect."
"Prince Changxiang County?"
Yun Hanchi was still puzzled, "The prince has been ill at home recently. As a servant, how can you still be in the mood to hang out?"
The sudden illness of Prince Li Chenghe of Changxiang County is not a secret, and the news that he was diagnosed by Li Ang, the top scholar in the academy, as having a limited time has also spread.
Since there is no cure for the disease, the top priority is to take care of the funeral.
Therefore, during this period of time, the Prince of Changxiang County has been busy counting properties, settling assets, and calculating dividends from various businesses, so that the only son of the Prince can successfully inherit the wealth.
At the same time, we have to negotiate with Zongzhengji, who is in charge of royal family affairs, and prepare for funerals, etc.
The entire county palace was busy. At this time, a servant came to Dali Temple inexplicably to watch the trial of an unrelated case. It was strange no matter how you looked at it.
"..."
The tall and strong man was speechless. A guard with a beard whispered to Yun Hanchi: "Mr. Yun Si, during the previous investigation, more than one witness said that the last time she saw Meng Ying, she took the initiative to log in.
Got into an extremely luxurious carriage,
The time at that time was about two-quarters of an hour on the first day of the lunar month."
"Huh?"
Yun Hanchi glanced at this officer who seemed to be named Zou Han. The country of Yu was prosperous and rich, and the style of the carriage was also extremely luxurious.
In addition to horse gear and accessories, there are collars, forehead straps, nose straps, cheek straps, cheek straps, pharyngeal straps, and neck straps.
An apricot leaf is placed on the horse's forehead, the end of its nose, and the upper part of its cheeks. The leather belt on the horse's head is also decorated with small golden flowers, and is matched with other precious decorations. This set is collectively referred to as "coupling."
This is what Bai Juyi said in "One Hundred Rhymes of Poems by Cui Shilang, Hanlin Qian Sheren, who retreated to Weicun Village and sent gifts to the Ministry of Gifts": "The crown of the noble prince floats, and the prince's bridle makes a fuss."
According to regulations, only officials of fourth grade and above are eligible to use it.
Then consider the leather strap (the strap on the horse's belly), the panxiang (the strap that goes from the saddle forward around the horse's chest), the yang (decorative strips), the bell (the bell mounted on the carriage scale and yoke), etc.,
The price of a high-end carriage can range from a thousand guan to tens of thousands guan.
Just like the supercar in Li Ang's memory of another world, it is impressive.
Yun Hanchi also has a confession from Dongshi witnesses. If he wants to find a specific high-end high-end car in Chang'an City, it will undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack.
But if there are targeted clues and you can take out the physical objects and let witnesses identify them, then nine out of ten they will be able to identify them.
Zou Han continued: "Furthermore, I also heard that on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Shenbin, the legitimate son of Prince Changxiang, was seen in the Dongshi Restaurant at the beginning of the first lunar month.
Some time ago, the Prince of Changxiang County burned a carriage on the pretext of cleaning up old things during the Dragon Boat Festival..."
Qing Yunhanchi of Dali Temple narrowed his eyes subconsciously and looked at the other party up and down.
These words are already very harsh and clear. They are clearly accusing a clan member named Li, the son of the Prince of Yu State, for being suspected of being involved in the case.
Zou Han was stared at by the Dali Temple Minister, and his body tensed subconsciously, but he still managed to keep his eyes on each other.
Yun Hanchi, the minister of Dali Temple, thought for a moment and said, "...Forget it, go to the Prince of Changxiang County and inform him that you don't want to disturb the Prince himself. Just bring the Prince's legitimate son, housekeeper, servants, coachman, etc. to you."
Said he wanted to ask some questions."
The expressions of the subordinates of the Dali Temple on both sides changed slightly. It was not an easy task to go to the prince's palace in Yu State to invite people. However, the Dali Temple Minister had already made a decision, so they had no choice but to follow his orders.
Dali Temple is located in the inner city of the Imperial City, not far from the northeast of Chang'an where the Prince's Palace is located. Not long after, all the people and things from the Prince's Palace were brought there.
Is this the legitimate son of Prince Changxiang, Li Shenbin?
Li Ang looked into the Dali Temple and saw an elegant young man in white clothes, standing calmly with a calm expression on his face, "Master Yun Temple, my father is ill in bed and still needs my care. I don't know what Mr. Yun wants to ask."
."
"It won't waste too much time."
Yun Hanchi glanced at the case information on the table, "Where were you at the beginning of the Dragon Boat Festival in the fourth year of Zaiqian?"
"I was drinking with some friends at Zuifeng Tower on the south side of Dongshi City. Among those present were Sanlang from the Qing family of Taifu Temple, Shaoqing family from Taichang Temple..."
Li Shenbin reported a series of names, and before Yun Hanchi asked questions, he continued to tell the trajectory of his actions, "We started drinking at the time of Xu Zheng and did not disperse until the beginning of Hai.
Since I had drunk some wine, I asked the carriage driver to go back to the road and drive slower."
"Is it this carriage?"
Yunhanchi asked someone to bring the carriage in, and the witnesses nodded in agreement.
Meng Chengye who was outside the temple immediately couldn't hold himself back and was about to rush into the temple, but was stopped by Jin Wusuan on the side.
Yun Hanchi asked expressionlessly: "These witnesses testified that the deceased Meng Ying boarded the carriage at about two-quarters of an hour on the first day of the lunar month."
"Hmm... Qing Yunsi is talking about the case that happened in Dongshi during the Dragon Boat Festival, right? I've heard about it too."
Li Shenbin said without changing his expression: "There are fifteen carriages in my house, and there are three of this shape. One of them was eaten by insects some time ago and had to be dismantled and burned.
What these witnesses saw in Dongshi that night was indeed the carriage I was riding in.
While driving back to the Prince's Mansion, I did ask the driver to stop and picked up a woman to get on the bus.
But that person is not Meng Ying, but the maid in my house."
Li Shenbin pointed at the servants in his house, and pointed to one of the maids who was about the same age and size as Meng Ying, "Her name is Xiao Ai,"
During the Dragon Boat Festival, I gave money to all the servants in the house and gave them a holiday, including her.
On the way home in the carriage, I saw her walking alone, so I stopped the carriage and gave her a ride.
Maybe the witnesses made a mistake. They mistook her for Meng Ying."
Sophistry.
Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly. Many of the witnesses who identified the carriage were shopkeepers, clerks, and stall owners in Dongshi shops.
What they noticed that night was the luxurious carriage, but they didn't see clearly the people in it.
As for the little maid Li Shenbin moved out - she is a servant of the county prince's palace, so it is not difficult to prepare the confession in advance.
"My father has business dealings with Meng Ying's father, Meng Chengye, and I have met Meng Ying before.
But I really never met her in Dongshi that night."
Li Shenbin looked calm and said to the witnesses: "You can identify it again and see if the appearance of Ms. Meng Ying's body is similar to Xiao Ai, so that she admits her mistake."
"...Don't you know? Meng Ying's face was scratched with a hosta by the murderer. Although the body is now preserved in an ice room, her original appearance cannot be seen at all. Her identity was confirmed by the jewelry and birthmarks on her body.
."
Dali Temple Qing Yunhanchi took a deep breath. The witnesses in the audience looked at the maid Xiao Ai, and many of them had confused expressions on their faces.
That night in Dongshi, they just glanced at it and were not impressed at all.
Five adults testified that they might have made a mistake, 30 adults testified that they could not remember clearly, and only 20 adults testified that Xiao Ai and the girl who boarded the carriage at that time seemed to be different people.
"Think more clearly!"
Meng Chengye, who was outside the temple, finally couldn't hold himself back and rushed into the temple. He first identified himself as the father of the deceased to Yun Hanchi, the minister of Dali Temple, and then said to a group of witnesses: "I hope you will think carefully about the case involving my daughter.
No, it’s clear!”
"Shopkeeper Meng, right?"
When Li Shenbin saw Meng Chengye appear, he immediately put on a sad expression, "I heard about Sister Ying, and I feel deeply sorry for it."
Meng Chengye glanced at him with red eyes and said nothing, obviously he did not trust the son of the prince at all.
"Yes, it's her."
Nie Shilei, who was originally kneeling on the ground, raised his head and stared blankly at the maid named Xiao Ai. He suddenly pointed at Xiao Ai and the tall and strong servant before and said, "It was she and him who decided after discussion."
I brought it into the alley."
There was silence in Dali Temple at first, and then it became noisy and noisy again.
The fool's testimony is all subjective and unreliable, but there are also many suspicious things about Li Shenbin.
The key to the problem lies in the evidence.
The carriage has been dismantled and burned, and the maid Xiao Ai and Gao Zhuang's servants are all from the prince's palace, so their words have no credibility.
"If you can prove that it was indeed Meng Ying who got on the carriage, then you can be sure that I am involved in the case."
Li Shenbin said straightforwardly: "If there is no evidence and cannot be proved, then please ask Lord Yunsi to let me go back and take care of my seriously ill father."
After saying that, Li Shenbin glanced back at Yunhanchi and turned to leave.
He is the son of a county prince, and his surname is Li. Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that he is involved in the case, he is willing to cooperate with Dali Temple to investigate the case.
If I want to leave now, no one can stop me.
Except...
"Wait a minute."
Li Ang stepped out of the crowd and blocked Li Shenbin's path, "As long as there is evidence to prove that the woman present who saw the woman boarding the carriage was indeed Meng Ying, that's all."
Li Shenbin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who are you?"
"Xuegong Li Ang."
Li Ang took off his belt from his waist and showed it to everyone in Dali Temple. He turned to Yun Hanchi and said, "Master Yun Temple, I have a way to prove it, but it just takes a little time."
There was a slight commotion in Dali Temple again. Li Ang's reputation was widely spread in Chang'an. Recently, there were rumors that he was not clear with Princess Guanghua and that Emperor Yu repeatedly wanted to call him as his son-in-law but was rejected.
Li Ang ignored the astonishment of the crowd around him, and after obtaining Yunhanchi's consent, he went to the ice room of Dali Temple and saw Meng Ying's unrecognizable body. He then found charcoal drawing paper and talked for a while with Meng Chengye, the father of the deceased Meng Ying.<
/p>
Based on Meng Chengye’s description and the facial outline of the corpse, a portrait of Zhang Mengying was drawn.
He drew more than ten portraits of other women in succession, mixed all the portraits together, and showed them to the witnesses, asking them to identify in the portrait the woman they saw getting into the car on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Thirteen witnesses, ten of them, correctly identified Meng Ying's portrait.
"In other words, the person they saw boarding the Changxiang County Prince's carriage that night was indeed Meng Ying."
Li Ang looked at the livid Li Shenbin and said calmly: "I have a theory.
At a quarter of an hour after the first day of the lunar month, Meng Ying and her friends got separated at the east entrance of Dongshi. You, who were sitting in the carriage at the time, saw Meng Ying on the road.
Since you knew her father, you proposed to take her home, and Meng Ying agreed and got on the carriage.
Then you got interested and ordered the driver to take a detour in an attempt to taint Meng Ying.
Meng Ying resisted fiercely, escaped from the carriage and hid in Dongshi.
Anesthetized by alcohol, you chased her away, blocked Meng Ying in the alley, injured and killed her.
After you sobered up, you finally felt scared and asked your servants to find a way to dispose of Meng Ying's body.
But this was not possible - there must have been citizens in Dongshi at that time who saw Meng Ying boarding your vehicle, and maybe even saw your face.
After Meng Ying disappeared, her family will definitely search everywhere and lead clues to you.
So the only way is to frame the blame.
You asked the maid and servant to find Nie Shilei, who was famous in Dongshi and was naturally stupid. You asked the maid to lure Nie Shilei into an alley, have sex with him, knock him out afterwards, and smear his semen on Meng Ying's face.
On clothes.
Do you still remember the characteristics of the Suppression Dog? They can smell the scent accurately. When there are two different kinds of semen at the scene, they will prioritize Nie Shilei at the scene.
As for why Nie Shilei didn't see Meng Ying's body in the alley, it might be because you covered her with a layer of cloth.
No one will believe what a fool says,
In order to further eliminate the possibility of exposure, you also scratched Meng Ying's face so that Nie Shilei and possible subsequent witnesses could not identify her.
After doing all this, you returned home, burned the vehicle with traces of blood and other traces, and waited quietly.
As a result, things went surprisingly smoothly until now."
After Li Ang finished explaining his hypothesis, Li Shenbin said with a pale face: "But you still have no direct evidence.
Those portraits identified by witnesses can be explained by their misremembering or fear of Meng Chengye and Jin Wusuan's power."
"Haha, you are the son of a county prince, and your power is not much different from that of Jin Wusuan."
Li Ang said slowly: "The weather is hot now, but you are still wearing heavy clothes. Don't you think it's too hot? Or is it to hide the wounds on your arms caused by Meng Ying's struggle at that time?"
"This was scratched by my dog. Besides, didn't this idiot suspect also have wounds on his arms?"
"That could have been something you deliberately created."
Li Ang looked at Li Shenbin who was stubbornly quibbling, shook his head, and said his killer move, "If you refuse to admit it and want more evidence,
Then, let’s masturbate here.”
"..."
"..."
"..."
Dali Temple is silent.
Jailer Zou Han, who was originally excited and thought that Nie Shilei could redress the injustice, could not help but be dumbfounded and doubted whether his ears heard correctly.
The excited onlookers outside the temple were also stunned on the spot, their waving fists suspended in the air.
Jin Wusuan opened his mouth slightly, but stopped talking.
Yun Hanchi's palms trembled slightly.
"What did you say?"
Li Shenbin, who was also shocked, said subconsciously.
"Handjob, tube, handicraft, self-entertainment, whatever you want to call it."
Li Ang's expression was calm and calm, as if he didn't say this in the lobby of Dali Temple, the highest judicial institution in Yu State, "You heard what I said, if you don't want to masturbate, you can also go to Pingkangfang to find a volunteer.
If you are really shy, you can also cover your face."
"..."
Li Shenbin's lips trembled, "I am a royal family member with the surname Li. You are insulting me and the dignity of the Li family..."
"This is also the fastest way to find out the case and clear your suspicion."
Li Ang smiled and said: "The case file says that the Town and Fu Division brought four small dogs over that night and sniffed the semen on Meng Ying's body.
If your semen remains at the scene,
Then those four thin dogs will definitely remember your scent.
So as long as you take out the tube now and let the four thin dogs sniff and recall it carefully, you can prove whether you are suspicious.
Alas, if you had not dismantled and burned the carriage, you could have let the dog smell the scent of Meng Ying on the carriage. Since the carriage has been destroyed, this is the only way."
