Chapter 34 The Murderer
Author: Xiyumu
The sky gradually darkened, and the lobby of the Nanhe County Government Office had become very quiet at this moment. The six jailers who were originally interrogated here have been escorted to prison, waiting for tomorrow's second round of interrogation.
As Ling Changfeng expected, the confessions of these six people were almost not much different. However, two of them were out of jail while in the guard, but they didn't go out for a long time. According to their statement, it was because of their stomachs in the middle of the journey.
I felt uncomfortable, so I went to the toilet.
Moreover, when they came back, they did not immediately get in touch with the suspect. Instead, they only checked the suspect's status at the order of the Qin County Magistrate, and each time they checked, they were a different combination of two people.
Looking at the confession records presented by the Qin County Magistrate in his hand, Ling Changfeng shook his head and said to Xiaolan with a smile: "Xiaolan, look at this confession. Half of their confessions are calling for justice. If you don't know
The truth is, I think this person is so miserable."
Xiaolan touched Xiaoyu's soft hair, pouted her mouth, and said, "I'm too lazy to read these lies. I don't understand. Since you already know who the murderer is, why don't you summon people to pick up the murderer.
What about the arrest? Let's go back to Qi Mansion early, and my wife may have been thinking about you all the time."
Seeing Xiaolan mentioning his mother, Ling Changfeng sighed and said softly: "I am waiting for an opportunity to let the murderer jump out by himself. Otherwise, if there is no evidence, he would not have pleaded guilty. As for his mother's
I miss her very much, but now this case involves the curse of the Western Regions, which cannot tolerate my slackness."
Xiaolan nodded and said helplessly: "I think the murderer behind the scenes will never be able to hide. Humph, that old fox! No matter what, I will be responsible for protecting the young master."
Ling Changfeng looked out the window. The stuffy weather made people feel hot and uneasy. He stared at the leaves gently shaken by the breeze and said softly: "Looking at this weather, it seems that it is about to rain."
After a night of nothing, Ling Changfeng, Xiaolan and Xiaoyu had a rare good night's sleep.
The next morning, in the lobby of Nanhe County Government Office.
Not only Ling Changfeng and others got up from the bed early, but also Qin County Magistrate who was driven to the shelves by Ling Changfeng and called to the temple to listen to the palace.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, the magistrate Qin looked at Ling Changfeng sitting in the lobby in confusion, and asked, "Mr. Ling, don't you call Lord Meng and Lord Xu?" He knew that the judge now
It’s Lord Meng, if he reviews it privately, he may have any worries.
Ling Changfeng shook his head and said, "The key to this case was something I thought of overnight. Just interrogate them as I told you. As for the other two adults, if you blame them later, I will block you for your sake.
yes."
Seeing that his attitude was tough, the Qin County Magistrate had to bite the bullet and interrogate the prison guards. So he ordered the police to take the prison guards who were still sleeping soundly to the court.
After a while, the six people brought up stood in the court with their heads down, not daring to look at the Qin County Magistrate. When the Qin County Magistrate asked the other people to raise their heads, they looked around.
The few people saw that only the Qin County Magistrate was sitting high under the plaque hanging high with a mirror. Mencius and Xu Fu Yin were not in sight. The young envoy was sitting carelessly in the lower left position at the moment, and he was smiling at the moment.
He looked at them with a smile.
The handsome girl who often stayed by her side was holding a white jade kitten and was looking at the court with interest.
The jailer on the far left seemed to be very brave. He bowed and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Qin, Lord Ling, the young Meng Wang, has been working in Nanhe County for more than 20 years, but he is loyal to the court.
Yesterday, Lord Meng also interrogated the young man, and the young man was not suspicious. Please check it out."
Hearing this, the magistrate of Qin nodded with a smile and said, "I naturally know what happened yesterday. Today's interrogation was a critical clue, so the arrangement of these second round of public trials is just a routine matter, so you don't need to be nervous." Qin County
Ling knew that he took out Mencius and the others to warn him, but he did not retreat and still began to interrogate.
Seeing this, Ling Changfeng thought to himself: This Qin County Magistrate is really hard to be a magistrate. A small prisoner dared to show off his power in front of him. He couldn't help but feel worried for him.
With a "bang", the slap in the table was slapped heavily. Lord Qin's interrogation officially began.
At the beginning, the descriptions of several people were not much different from the confession yesterday. If they had not received Ling Changfeng's guidance, the interrogation would probably end in vain.
Seeing the prisoner finishing his words, the Qin County Magistrate said, "At that time, I divided you into three groups, each group was responsible for an inspection every two hours. What was the status of the suspect when you checked? You tell me the truth."
"The little Shengwang and his colleague Xu Chu are the first group. After Lord Qin arranged the guard's life, I checked the suspect's condition. At this time, the suspect's breathing was even, his face was rosy, and there was no abnormality."
"The young Xu Chu, after Shengwang's face and breathing, was responsible for confirming his pulse. The suspect's pulse was beating strongly and showed no sign of death."
....
"The little Zhu Jin was responsible for detecting the suspect's breath and expression. There was nothing abnormal at that time."
"The little Zhang Liu, after Zhu Jin checked his breath, the suspect's pulse was normal."
The three groups of people talked about their own inspection results one by one, but there was no big difference.
The magistrate of Qin nodded and asked again: "Zhu Jin, Xu Chu, you two told me that your stomach was uncomfortable and needed to go to the toilet when you were on duty, right? Now I ask, have you ever been after you go out.
Who have you met?"
"The young man has never had any interaction with anyone." The two of them replied immediately with a serious look on their faces.
"Then I'll ask you again, do you know how this suspect was poisoned?"
"I don't know anything about this!" Zhu Jin and the others whispered.
Just a few questions, the murderer certainly would not admit it. The Qin County Magistrate said calmly: "Hmph, I'm still quibbling! I'm telling you now that the murderer first wrapped the poison in ice, and then put it in
It was polished into a small ball, and when it was exploring its breath, it stuffed ice into the suspect's nasal cavity! This is also the reason why there were water marks on the suspect's collar."
"So when you check, the suspect will not die immediately. Instead, after the ice melts, the poison enters the suspect's mouth along the nose and is poisoned to death! Zhu Jin, am I right?" Qin
The adult shouted at Zhu Jin and asked.
When Zhu Jin heard this, his face suddenly turned pale and his breathing stagnated, but he did not admit his guilt. He just said slowly: "Sir, since I said I would wrap poison with ice, may I ask, sir, the weather is so hot, how can I put the ice on my body for a long time?"
"Indeed, is it just a praising you for being smart, or is it a praising the person behind you for being smart? When you went out, you met the person who was the one who was in charge. The man didn't give you an ice hockey, but a lot of people
Ice hockey? So, you only need to check your clothes later and you will probably be able to find out the poison that will kill the suspect."
The Qin County Magistrate told the story of murder with great pleasure, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt more and more admiration for Ling Changfeng.
Seeing that the Qin County Magistrate asked to search for clothes, Zhu Jin finally couldn't bear it, his face turned pale, tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes, and he collapsed to the ground.
When everyone saw his expression, they knew that the murderer was this person. Although the truth was clear, they were quite reluctant to leave. I am afraid they did not expect that Zhu Jin, who was kind to others on weekdays, would have used such vicious means.
The magistrate of Qin County took all the expressions of everyone. When Ling Changfeng told him the murderer's method of committing the crime, he also seemed to have suddenly realized it.
Xiaolan had known about this for a long time. At this moment, seeing everyone's shocked look, she was happy and muttered: I'm really ignorant. If I hadn't reminded the young master, hum, don't think you can know the truth so quickly.
Ling Changfeng seemed to hear his soft murmur, his mouth slightly raised, but he didn't say anything.
"Criminal Zhu Jin, what else do you have to say at this moment?! Who gave you the ice hockey? Why don't you bring me the truth?" The magistrate of Qin shouted loudly, and the awe-in-law in his hand blew "bang" and pushed Zhu Jin with a "bang".
Awakened from his unconservative appearance.
"Sir, wise! But unfortunately, the young man didn't know who that person was. That night, the man was wearing a tight suit, and I didn't see his face clearly." Zhu Jin smiled bitterly and said lightly.
Seeing that Zhu Jin was not lying, the magistrate of Qin asked in a deep voice: "If you don't know this person, why should you obey his arrangements?"
Zhu Jin looked up at the Qin County Magistrate, then slowly looked at Ling Changfeng next to him, took a deep breath, and said, "There are two reasons why I killed this person."
"First, Lord Wang is an honest official. Although he is not a parent, he is also a good official who loves the people as much as his son! He once scattered all his family's wealth just to help the victims in the Yellow River area, the young man had received this kind of favor to survive. Since you all, you all
The Lord said that this person was the murderer of Lord Wang, so I don’t regret it if I can avenge Lord Wang.”
"Secondly, the young girl in the family has been weak and sick since childhood. I have been looking for famous doctors in Luoyang. Those famous doctors say that this disease is caused by the lack of nutrition in the womb of the child. You only need to use thousand-year-old ginseng slices and boil soup and porridge to take.
It can be cured in a day.
"Hahaha, it's really ironic! Is this kind of prescription a death talisman for us poor people? Fortunately, the little girl should not be destined to be destined. A kind-hearted person who had never met me bought me a thousand-year-old ginseng, so that the little girl could survive.
Now that the man came over with a token and asked me to do something big of a human heart, what's the difficulty?"
Zhu Jin slowly told the reason for killing the suspect. What Ling Changfeng did not expect was that this person was not the murderer's accomplice, but a commoner who was grateful and a father who loved his child deeply!
Perhaps, Ling Changfeng could bring a vicious criminal to justice without any worries, but even though he was as smart as he was, it was the first time that he had encountered such a situation, which made Ling Changfeng, who had always believed that all the cases were either black or white.
Sleeping into deep thought.
"Young Master, how should I punish this person?" Xiaolan asked with mixed feelings after hearing Zhu Jin's reason.
Dear Tang Dynasty book friends, I am very sorry. Today I am extremely busy with work and only have one chapter...
