When Da was taken to Xianyang prison by the pavilion guards, Langhe Fen surrounded him.
"Brother Qin, what evidence did you find?" Fen asked.
"No." Qin Luoheng shook his head.
Lang's eyes widened, "Then you tell Da that you found the evidence?"
"You lied to him." Qin Luoheng said with a smile: "He is probably thinking about what he just missed. If we don't let him think too much, how can we fish in troubled waters?"
Lang's face froze.
Fen Fen worriedly said: "But after all, we still need evidence to solve the case. Even if we deceive him, as long as he doesn't expose the evidence, there is still nothing we can do against him."
Qin Luoheng said in a deep voice:
"No."
"He just exposed something."
"Didn't you notice that when I asked just now, sometimes I said it was a hairpin, and sometimes I just said a knife? But he never refuted it, and he never mentioned what kind of knife he was, which shows that he subconsciously thought that the knife was
Hairpin!"
"And it was the hairpin that was inserted into the victim's body!"
Fen frowned and said:
"But this cannot be directly convicted."
"He himself said that he lost his knife. Even if it was his knife that was inserted into the victim, he could deny it and say it was not his hand."
"There's still nothing we can do against him."
Qin Luoheng said:
"So we have to continue to look for evidence."
"We have to prove that the knife is indeed his, but we also have to make him deny that the knife is his in the prison. Only by making him unable to justify himself can we reveal the truth!"
"And I already have some clues."
"What clue?" Lang and Fen asked almost simultaneously.
Qin Luoheng said:
"I don't know if you noticed just now. When I asked Lang to summon Da's wife and daughter, Da looked very nervous and without thinking much, he directly admitted that he had a knife, and he admitted it very neatly.
"
"After I didn't mention his wife and daughter again, his answers became cautious again."
"If nothing unexpected happens......"
"His wife and daughter should know something."
"It is precisely because of this that Dacai is so nervous. He is worried about our summons and is afraid that we will really ask something and he will be unable to quibble in the end."
"and......"
"As far as I know, Da has never worked in the fields. All the work in his family is done by Da's wife. It is absolutely impossible to say that Da's wife has no complaints. Perhaps it is because of knowing this that Da is so afraid of us.
Summon his wife and daughter, because Da's wife and daughter will not hide it for him."
"What about us?" Lang's eyes were filled with joy.
"Submission!!!"
...
It didn't take long.
Da's wife and daughter were taken to the pavilion.
Seeing this peasant woman, Qin Luoheng also frowned.
Da's wife was wearing coarse clothes that didn't touch the floor. Her face and hands were covered with mud, and she looked very haggard. Judging from her appearance, she didn't look like a woman in her early thirties at all, but more like a woman in her forties or fifties.
Mother.
Enter the pavilion.
Da's wife Ping subconsciously protected her daughter behind her, and said with an uneasy look: "I've seen the superior. I wonder why the superior called our mother and daughter here?"
Qin Luoheng said seriously: "Don't be nervous. I'm summoning you just to ask you a few questions. You just need to answer them truthfully."
"Does Da have a knife?"
Ping hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"What does his sword look like?" Qin Luoheng asked again.
Ping gestured.
"It's just an ordinary hairpin. It has a scale on it. It's about eight or nine inches long."
"I don't know where he got it from. He usually likes to wear that knife and almost never leaves it. But recently, for some unknown reason, he doesn't wear it anymore. I don't know where he put the knife.
"
At this time.
Ping's daughter also said the same thing.
"There is also a knife shell, which is very beautiful, white, and has silk on it."
Ping also nodded and said:
"right."
"There's also a scabbard."
"He said he bought it with the knife."
"The scabbard is made of white leather and tied with red silk. He treasures the knife and the scabbard, and usually doesn't let us touch it."
"But they seem to have disappeared recently."
Qin Luoheng was overjoyed and quickly asked: "Dayou told you where the scabbard went? Who did it give it to, or sold it to someone?"
Ping shook her head.
"He won't tell us that."
"He used all the money he had for himself and never took care of his family. He never even farmed the land in these years. He kept the money to himself and would not tell us at all."
Qin Luoheng frowned slightly.
He thought for a while and then said to Fen: "Fen, go to the market right away and put up a notice, and at the same time spread the word, warning everyone: Anyone who has received or had money or clothing transactions with Da, if you don't
Report it to the government in time, otherwise you will be punished if found out later."
Fen nodded.
I also hurriedly made arrangements.
Hearing Qin Luoheng's words, Ping was a little panicked.
He knelt down and cried out:
"Sir, did Da commit something?"
"We, mother and daughter, don't know anything about it. Superior, you have to be more careful. I work hard in the fields all year round and I have never done anything bad."
"My superior, our mother and daughter were wronged!"
Listening to Ping's miserable plea, Qin Luoheng felt very uncomfortable.
He said in a deep voice:
"I don't know now whether you are unjust or not."
"The Qin Dynasty has its own laws and regulations."
"If you really didn't know anything, you wouldn't be implicated."
"But if you know about it and don't report it, then don't blame the law for being ruthless."
"As for what crime 'Da' committed?"
"I can tell you."
"After our all-night investigation, 'Da' may be the person responsible for the 'theft and wounding case' in your town a few days ago."
"Is there anything else you want to say now?"
"If you are related to this case, I advise you to surrender immediately."
"If you know any clues related to this case, I also suggest that you report it in time, otherwise it may be too late when the confession is made in the future."
After hearing Qin Luoheng's words, Ping immediately shook her head.
"Sir, you have to be careful."
"We, mother and daughter, really don't know anything."
"I am so busy going to the fields every day that I don't even know what Da Yitian is doing. He sleeps until broad daylight every day, walks around when he gets up, and doesn't come back until midnight every day. At that time, we, mother and daughter, are both asleep.
Do you know what he does all day?"
"Has Da done anything unusual in the past few days?" Qin Luoheng asked.
Ping shook her head, then hesitated and said uncertainly: "He still comes back late at night as usual these days, but he comes back much earlier than before, and he also likes to stand at the door and walk around.
It’s like looking at something.”
"Oh, right!"
"He seems to have something in his hand these days."
"Long shape."
"It looks like a piece of wood."
"But I don't know what it is. I was busy putting my daughter to bed at that time, so I didn't really want to know about him."
