Lang didn't dare to make a killing move, he just held the bamboo board and whipped Zheng An's back and buttocks.
Twenty strokes, one stroke is not enough.
Zheng An's face was full of grievance, but he did not dare to say a word. He had to grit his teeth and endure the twenty lashes, but his face was already red with shame.
He felt that he had been greatly humiliated.
The whole person is about to explode.
After the caning was over, Zheng An was full of complaints, but under Qin Luoheng's direct gaze, he could only sit back on the ground obediently. However, when his butt landed on the ground, the pain from his buttocks made him take a breath.
.
This made him resent Qin Luoheng even more deeply.
Seeing Zheng An's angry and resentful expression, the jailers felt greatly relieved in their hearts. They did not speak, but looked at Qin Luoheng's eyes, which seemed quite pleasing to the eye.
Let’s not talk about whether the case can be solved or not.
At least.
Make them angry!
The jailer's expression softened slightly, but he was still stern.
Hua Yu nodded happily.
And 'Da', who originally thought he had a backer, changed his face slightly when he saw Zheng An being beaten, and looked at Qin Luoheng with more fear.
Wait until the lobby is completely quiet.
Qin Luoheng nodded, looked at Ling and Da, and asked, "Is the argument between you two over?"
Both Ling and Dadu said: "There is no other explanation."
Qin Luoheng nodded slightly and said, "Since none of you have anything to add, it's my turn to question you."
"Da!"
"I'll ask you again."
"Is this hairpin yours?"
Da always gritted his teeth and denied:
"Go back to the official, this murderous weapon does not belong to the villain. The villain has never had a hairpin knife."
"Please let me know carefully."
"No? Then take a closer look. Is the scabbard in my hand yours?" Qin Luoheng snorted coldly and took out a scabbard from under his body.
The scabbard is made of white leather and tied with silk.
Da's expression suddenly changed.
Qin Luoheng's face showed a sneer. He stood up and took the murder weapon. In front of everyone, he raised the hairpin knife and inserted it into the scabbard sent by the 'servant'.
Perfect fit!
This hairpin knife and the scabbard fit perfectly.
Qin Luoheng then turned to Da and said coldly:
"Explain it."
"Don't tell me that you don't know this scabbard. I got it from a man named Servant in your village. He said personally that you gave it to him."
"You don't still want to argue that you didn't send it, do you?"
Da opened his mouth.
But he could not quibble any more.
This scabbard was indeed a gift from him to his 'servant'. He could not refute it. Many people in the village knew about it at the time, and he had no way to defend it.
Da said dejectedly:
"I think."
"This scabbard is indeed mine."
"It is also a 'servant' given to me personally."
Qin Luoheng fluttered his sleeves, returned to the document, and asked in a cold voice: "Then you can explain to me again why you said before that this knife is not yours!"
"It's obviously yours!"
"explain!!!"
Da's complexion suddenly changed, and sweat overflowed from his forehead.
He looked around nervously, but after seeing Zheng An's eyes, he immediately became smart and continued to grit his teeth and said:
"This knife is indeed mine."
"But I also told my superiors before."
"My knife was stolen."
"It was precisely because it was stolen that it was useless for me to keep the scabbard. In addition, the 'servant' liked the scabbard very much, so I gave it to him as a favor."
"The reason I didn't recognize the knife was because I really didn't dare."
"Such a big case happened in our hometown. If I said this knife was mine, wouldn't the superiors immediately suspect me? My conscience, I really didn't steal. I was just afraid that I would become someone else's scapegoat.
, that’s why I dare not admit it.”
"Sir, you have to be careful!"
"and......"
"I actually don't quite recognize it as my knife."
"Although I like to carry swords, I keep them in a scabbard every day, and I don't often take them out to show off. How can I remember what the sword looks like?"
"I am really wronged."
Hearing Da's nonsense, Lang wanted to go up and slap Da.
Qin Luoheng also frowned.
He said coldly:
"Since you are so sure that the knife was stolen, let me ask you, when did you find out that the knife was stolen? And when did you give the scabbard to the 'servant'? You wear a knife every day, you really don't know what you are doing
What does the knife look like?"
"and......"
"You said you don't draw the knife often, which means that the knife and the scabbard are basically one piece. Then why did the thief steal only the hairpin knife and leave the scabbard for you?"
"Isn't this suspicious?"
Qin Luoheng asked many questions in succession.
Da's expression changed, but he still refused to let go and said aggrievedly:
"Go back to the official."
"I don't know the reason either."
"I was busy three days ago and wanted to go out for a walk. That's when I realized that I had lost my knife. At that time, I was still wondering why the thief only stole half of the things he stole. But this hairpin knife is a bargain after all, so I also
I don’t take it too seriously.”
"But since the knife is lost, the scabbard is naturally useless."
"I just want to deal with it."
"It just so happened that a 'servant' from the same town saw it, and he said he liked the scabbard very much. I thought that since the swords were all gone, I would just give this scabbard to him. Anyway, they are all from the same town, and everyone can see each other without looking up, maybe.
There will still be someone to take care of you in the future.”
"But that was not what I thought."
"The thief is so shameless."
"The front foot just stole my knife, and the back foot went to grab the 'bell'." Speaking of this, Da's expression also changed, and he said with a look of panic: "Sir, this thief is so insidious, he is clearly a
You want to put the blame on me."
"Sir, I was wronged, you have to make the decision for me!"
Qin Luoheng remained unmoved.
Continue to ask:
"You said you found the knife lost three days ago. That day happened to be the time when Ling was robbed. Then think about it carefully. When did you give the scabbard to the 'servant'?"
"I want the exact time!"
Da's face froze.
He lowered his head, his eyes a little flustered.
Stuttered:
"It seems to me...it seems to be at the end of the day (sun time), no, it is the day (the sun is not at the end of the day)...it was given at noon (noon)."
"I actually don't remember clearly."
Qin Luoheng exposed it on the spot:
"you are lying!"
"I asked you, Li Dian, that at noon, the 'servant' was still in the field like everyone else. You said before that you went to the field when the sun was out. How did you meet him in the air after being separated by an hour?
When you found him, you handed him the scabbard?"
"and......"
"I asked the 'servant'."
"This scabbard of yours was obviously given to me in Luxiang."
"The time is not at midday, but at the end of the day, that is, half an hour after the case occurred. You have been lying from beginning to end!"
