Having said this, Liu Cheng hurriedly kowtowed to Chu Xuanchen, "Your Majesty, I was beaten into submission by them.
Please believe me, I really didn’t kill Ms. Li, and I don’t know how she died. I was wrongly accused!”
When Geng Tian saw this, he immediately pointed angrily at Liu Cheng and said: "You are talking nonsense. The jailers did not torture you at all. It was you who confessed because of your guilty conscience."
Wei Lin also said: "Yes, my lord, don't listen to Liu Cheng's words.
That night I kindly invited Liu Cheng to drink. While drinking, I found that he had been secretly glancing at my wife Jin'er, as if he was planning to do something wrong.
But I was very drunk at the time, so I didn’t take it to heart, so I just continued drinking with him. Then I got so drunk that I had no idea what was going on.
When I woke up, I saw Liu Chengzheng lying on my bed in disheveled clothes, and Jin'er lying next to him, dead.
When I saw many pinch marks on Jin'er's neck, I concluded that Liu Cheng had killed her, so I took Liu Cheng to jail and asked him to pay for my poor wife's life!"
Hearing Wei Lin's words, Liu Cheng was furious, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't peek at your wife at all, let alone strangle her to death!"
"You and my wife were both disheveled at the time, and she was sleeping next to you. Who else could have been killed if you hadn't killed her?"
Wei Lin asked coldly.
"See, Your Majesty, regarding Liu Cheng's case, my subordinates found something fishy."
While the two were arguing, Mo Zhu walked in from outside.
Seeing Mo Zhu come in, Chu Xuanchen knew that there should be progress in the case.
Geng Tian's face darkened instantly when he saw Mo Zhu.
Chu Xuanchen glanced at everyone and said, "Mo Zhu, if there is anything fishy, tell me quickly."
Mo Zhusen glanced at Wei Lin coldly and said: "Your Majesty, I asked Wei Lin's neighbors.
His neighbors said that Wei Lin actually did not have a wife at all. In fact, Li Jin'er was not his wife at all, but a fireworks woman from Zuixianglou.
The relationship between the two of them is just a flesh-and-blood transaction, and they have no relationship as husband and wife at all. This shows that Wei Lin lied from the beginning!"
"You, you are talking nonsense. Jin'er is my wife. We are getting married in private. Of course we will not tell others!"
Wei Lin argued in a panic.
Mo Zhu sneered, "But I asked the madam at Zuixianglou, and she said that Jin'er didn't marry you at all, because she needed to be a good person before marrying you. She didn't even redeem her body, so how could she dare to marry you?
So you are simply lying!"
Chu Xuanchen glanced at Wei Lin coldly, "Wei Lin, you still haven't told me honestly, what is going on!"
"I...I..." Wei Lin was shocked by Chu Xuanchen and could not speak because he had done something wrong.
He glanced at Su Changxiao with some fear and did not dare to speak.
At this time, Yun Ruoyue suddenly stood up and looked at Wei Lin sternly, "Wei Lin, Liu Cheng, when Li Jin'er died, you two were the only ones in the room, right?"
"Yes.
It was night and I was afraid that a thief would sneak in, so I bolted the door.
Liu Cheng and I were the only ones in the house at that time, so Liu Cheng must have killed Jin'er."
Wei Lindao.
Yun Ruoyue looked at Liu Cheng again, "Liu Cheng, did you touch Jin'er's neck that night?"
"No, I didn't kill Jin'er at all. I didn't even touch her, so how could I touch her neck?"
Liu Cheng said hurriedly.
"Okay, according to your testimony, there were only three of you in Wei Lin's house at that time.
The murderer must be one of you two. It's very simple to know which of you is the murderer.
Since Jin'er was strangled to death, there will definitely be deep pinch marks on her neck. Once the murderer strangles Jin'er's neck, the murderer's fingerprints will also be left on her neck."
