Even if she had just been scolded by Qin Wenyuan one moment, the next moment she heard the unfavorable words about her son, she quickly stood up and rebuked Official Bai Yan loudly.
Throughout his life, Bai Yanguan was a principled and honest official.
This is something he has always been proud of.
But in the end, Zhou was concerned about this matter.
Rebuke him, slander him!
For Bai Yanguan, this was a great humiliation.
His face immediately turned red from Zhou's anger.
"Everything I said is true, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhou put her hands on her hips and said, "Is it true? It's true!"
"You said you didn't kill my son, then who did?"
"Everyone in my family told me that they only saw you enter the room alone!"
"And the scene,
You are the only outsider here!"
"And, you also said,
You stabbed my son!"
"Why, these are not enough to prove that you are the murderer!"
Zhou looked at Qin Wenyuan and said: "Who doesn't know that you took care of Qin Wenyuan, and who doesn't know that you are both a teacher and a father to Qin Wenyuan, so Qin Wenyuan will definitely turn to you!"
As he said this, Mr. Zhou burst into tears.
She ran to Li Shimin and cried: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for my son!"
"Qin Wenyuan, Lord of the Tang Dynasty, obviously wants to protect Bai Yanguan. Bai Yanguan is obviously the murderer, but now he is pretending to be confused!"
"If they are allowed to escape the punishment of the law like this, how can I rest in peace!"
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for my son!"
Zhou's voice was very loud, and people inside and outside could hear her clearly.
At this moment, the people who didn't know the truth began to whisper when they heard her voice.
"Is Lord Bai really the murderer?"
"No way!"
"Why not,
Didn't you listen to what the deceased's mother said? All the evidence,
They all point to Master Bai!"
"How could Master Qin protect Master Bai?"
"How is it possible! I will believe Master Bai to kill someone, but I never believe that Master Qin will cover up the murderer!"
"Yes, Lord Qin represents absolute justice. I believe in Lord Qin!"
"I also believe Master Qin!"
The people's support and trust for Qin Wenyuan truly came from the bottom of their hearts.
And all of this stems from Qin Wenyuan's efforts.
Qin Wenyuan has always treated the people sincerely.
He has always adhered to his principles.
Therefore, he also became the Qingtian Grand Master in the hearts of the people.
Even if Mr. Zhou said this at this moment, the people still believed Qin Wenyuan!
Zhou originally wanted to incite the people and public opinion, so that Bai Yanguan would be executed quickly.
But who knows, the people believe Qin Wenyuan.
This made her expression change again and again. She sat down directly on the ground and cried loudly: "My son, you left and left me behind. Mother is useless. Even the murderer will escape."
"Oh my God,
Why are you treating us so cruelly!"
Zhou's cry was so pitiful.
And he cried in front of Li Shimin.
This made Li Shimin feel a little uncomfortable.
As an emperor, he
Naturally, we can't just ignore it.
Li Shimin sighed and said, "Mrs. Zhou, don't worry, since I'm here, I will definitely make the decision for you."
Zhou's eyes lit up.
Just as she was about to say something, Li Shimin said: "Qin Wenyuan, did you hear that? Handle the case properly and be fair and strict, otherwise I will not let you go."
Zhou's face froze.
This is not what she wants!
She didn’t want Qin Wenyuan to solve the case!
Qin Wenyuan, on the other hand, just glanced at Mr. Zhou lightly, and then said calmly: "Since Mrs. Zhou is so anxious, that's all. Next, I will tell you how your son died!"
"Don't worry, I won't be biased towards anyone, because the evidence will show everything!"
When Zhou heard Qin Wenyuan's words, she was silent for a moment, and then muttered: "Then just show the evidence."
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Mrs. Zhou, then at Bai Yanguan who was so angry that his beard stood up, then he slapped the crowd and said: "Come here, bring the deceased!"
Soon, Zhou Qin's body was carried up.
Zhou Qin had been dead for many days, and his body was already covered with corpse spots.
The smell of corpse is also very obvious.
When he was lifted up, all the officials around him subconsciously covered their noses.
Qin Wenyuan, on the other hand, looked at Mr. Zhou very calmly and said, "Can you confirm that this is your son's body?"
Zhou's eyes immediately turned red, and she said: "What are you thinking about? My son should have been buried long ago, but you refused to let me go. Now you have moved it here again, and you ask me if it is my son's body!"
Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "So, that is your son's body."
Zhou didn't understand what Qin Wenyuan wanted to do.
But he still nodded.
Qin Wenyuan continued: "Then take a look again to see if the condition of the corpse is exactly the same as when it died that day, and whether anyone has touched or damaged the corpse."
Mrs. Zhou frowned.
Then Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "Don't you always suspect that we want to protect Mr. Bai? I will give you a chance now to check the evidence and clues, lest you feel as if everyone in the world is trying to harm your son."
There was a trace of dissatisfaction on Zhou's elongated face.
She snorted coldly and said, "Just watch."
After saying that, she got up and inspected Zhou Qin's body very carefully.
After half a stick of incense, she returned to her original seat and said: "There is no change, it is still exactly the same as when he was killed by Bai Yanguan."
Bai Yanguan said angrily: "I didn't kill him!"
Mrs. Zhou smiled coldly: "Whether you kill or not is not your decision. I want to see how Qin Wenyuan will protect you."
"you--"
Bai Yanguan was so angry that his whole body trembled.
Qin Wenyuan still looked calm and said: "Since you have confirmed that your son's body has not been tampered with, that's good."
"Bring a wife to work!"
Soon, a middle-aged man in gray clothes came over.
He walked to the front of the court and bowed first to Li Shimin, then to Lu Qing: "Master Qin."
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.
He said: "Say it."
Wu Zuo said: "Xiao Zuo is the Wu Zuo who did the autopsy. Within an hour after the incident, Xiao Xiao rushed to the Zhou Mansion and started the autopsy."
"Based on the condition of the corpse, I judged that the time of death of the deceased was between one hour and two hours, and that time was exactly the time when Lord Bai came to Zhou Mansion."
When Zhou heard this, he shouted directly: "Iron proof, this is ironclad proof, what else do you have to say!"
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Mr. Zhou expressionlessly.
Zhou, a person who was not afraid of anything, felt a little wilted under Qin Wenyuan's gaze at this moment.
She shrank her neck and sat back down again.
Qin Wenyuan then looked away and said: "Continue.
……………………
Wu Zuo continued: "The deceased died because the dagger pierced the heart, causing excessive bleeding and the loss of life."
"After investigation, it can be determined that the murder weapon used to stab the deceased was the dagger inserted into the deceased's heart."
"Daggers are very common and are not specially customized, and other daggers were also found in the Zhou Mansion. It can be determined that they are daggers from the Zhou Mansion."
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly and said: "Was the deceased killed by a knife?"
Wu Zuo thought for a moment and said, "Sir, based on the wound marks on the deceased, it can be judged that the deceased was stabbed twice."
……………………
"The first knife only penetrated the skin and was not fatal."
"But the second knife directly pierced the heart, causing severe bleeding. One knife was fatal."
At this time, Mrs. Zhou started crying again.
"My poor son, why are you so pitiful!"
"Bai Yanguan, this murderer, stabbed you twice in order to harm you!"
"Why is he so hateful!"
"And he has committed such evil deeds but still refuses to admit it and wants to escape. Who can make the decision for my son?"
Mr. Zhou is really trying to find every opportunity.
Ask whenever you find an opportunity.
It turned out that she was the mother of the deceased, and many people pitied her.
But now, she always disobeys the court rules and always cries there. For a while, even the people watching outside are a little unhappy.
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Mr. Zhou and suddenly said: "I want to ask you, what kind of strength can be used to pierce a person's heart directly at once, and... it is still the heart of a defensive person like Zhou Qin.
!”
Wu Zuo heard Qin Wenyuan's inquiry, thought for a moment, and said: "Zhou Qin is not old and is in his prime. At this period, there is no need to think too much about his physical strength."
"Furthermore, I didn't find that Zhou Qin showed any signs of illness or physical disability. Therefore, his strength is that of a normal middle-aged man."
"If you want to pierce his heart with a knife when he is on guard, leaving him unable to fight back, the strength must be at least twice his."
"I carefully checked the traces of the knife edge. If it was inserted slowly, the knife edge would not be so flat, so it must have been inserted with one knife, instead of pressing in with force after inserting!"
"Therefore, it takes at least twice the strength of Zhou Qin to do it."
Qin Wenyuan's fingers lightly moved across the table. He looked at the files on the table and said, "Then do you think Master Bai, who is over fifty years old, his hair is half white, and his body is thin, will have twice the strength of Zhou Qin?
"
"this……"
Wu Zuo hesitated.
Fang Xuanling and others' eyes immediately lit up.
yes!
Why didn't they think about starting with strength?
Bai Yanguan was already in his old age. He would be huffing and puffing even if he walked a few steps, let alone twice as long as Zhou Qin, who was in full strength.
That is absolutely impossible!
so……
From this, we can directly prove that Bai Yanguan is definitely not a murderer.
Because Bai Yanguan has no ability to commit crimes!
Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but nod with emotion.
Chu Suiliang and Wei Zheng also admired in their hearts.
They had never been able to solve the problem, but unexpectedly, Qin Wenyuan simply changed directions and easily found a way to break the situation.
As for Mr. Zhou, his expression changed drastically at this moment.
She quickly spoke again and said: "This is just your speculation, how can it really be used as evidence!"
"Also, maybe Bai Yanguan looks thin, but he is actually very strong!"
"Who knows whether his words are true or false!"
"Don't try to deceive me with such words, I will not be deceived by you!"
Mrs. Zhou stared at Qin Wenyuan closely, and the expression on her face made it clear that no matter what you say, I just don't believe it.
Ignore Zhou's unreasonable troubles.
He continued: "Whether a person is strong or weak can be judged from the degree of muscle development, height and shape, and age."
"Master Bai's strength is not even twice that of Zhou Qin. I don't think he is even half as strong as Zhou Qin."
Wuzuo nodded quickly: "The adults are right, and the little one thinks so too."
Qin Wenyuan said: "Besides you, if you look at the direction of the knife edge, don't you feel that the direction of the knife edge is a little strange?"
"strangeness?"
Hearing this, Wu Zuo quickly followed what Qin Wenyuan said and carefully examined Zhou Qin's wounds again.
He was still confused at first.
I don’t understand what Qin Wenyuan means.
But as he checked, the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened.
"This...this wound..."
He suddenly raised his head, looked at Qin Wenyuan, and said: "Master Qin, this..."
Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "Tell everyone what you discovered."
Wu Zuo took a deep breath and said hurriedly: "The wound on the deceased shows that the dagger was inserted straight into the body."
"And this is very wrong!"
Mrs. Zhou was dissatisfied and said, "What's wrong?"
Wu Zuo said: "Master Bai is much shorter than Zhou Qin because of his rickets. Therefore, if he really wants to commit murder and wants to directly pierce Zhou Qin's heart with one breath, he must find the best person."
Only the appropriate way to drop the knife will do."
"With the height difference between Master Bai and Zhou Qin, if Master Bai wants to succeed and defeat the strong with the weak, he must hold the dagger with both hands and stab it diagonally from above to below!"
"Only in this way can we ensure that Master Bai will use the greatest strength and the best way to pierce Zhou Qin's heart."
Wu Zuo was talking and demonstrating at the same time.
Everyone looked thoughtful when they saw this.
The people watching outside also tried a few experiments.
Then they all couldn't help but nod at 4.9.
Indeed, that method is indeed the most labor-intensive method.
Wu Zuo said: "But Zhou Qin's wound was straight. It was penetrated completely from the opposite side and in a very horizontal manner."
"And this, with Master Bai's height, is absolutely difficult to accomplish."
"So this wound is very wrong."
"In other words, this should be possible only for someone who is at least about the same height as Zhou Qin and stronger than Zhou Qin."
"Master Bai... absolutely, it can't be done!"
What Wu Zuo said was categorical.
This time, he was not speculating, but telling facts!
The officials who can sit here are all important ministers of the court.
So there is actually no problem in their minds.
Therefore, after hearing Wu Zuo's words and thinking about it, they understood that this could almost exonerate Official Bai Yan!
From a physical point of view, from a wound point of view, from a height point of view...
