Soon, a group of people arrived. Seeing Niu Er's appearance, Murong Xiaotian felt more confident. Niu Er's eyes looked a little flustered, and it was obvious that he was guilty, "Humph, you are what I want. Panic," Murong Xiaotian smiled coldly in his heart. The day before Broken Swordsman asked them to behead him, he suddenly called them to the lobby. Niu Er, who thought the matter was over, didn't panic. That was strange. Murong Xiaotian This is the effect you want.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the city lord was shocked and said: "Mr. Thief, all the people related to this case have arrived. You must give me a clear and clear explanation." Explain, otherwise, the Lord of this city will convict you of disturbing the court,"
"Okay, don't show off here. If you really have that ability, you won't be able to solve a case like this," Murong Xiaotian waved his hand, ignoring City Master Fang who was so angry that he couldn't speak. , but walked up to the tall Captor Gao: "Captain Gao, when you walked to the murder scene, what did you see?"
"I saw Wu Tianzheng squatting next to Boss Lin's body, with one hand holding the handle of the knife inserted into Boss Lin's chest,"
"Okay," Murong Xiaotian nodded and turned to City Lord Fang: "City Lord, I have a few things I would like to ask you."
"explain,"
"First, with Wu Tian's ability, if he really wanted to kill Boss Lin, he could be killed with one palm. Why would he go to such trouble to use a knife? Second, even if Wu Tian killed Boss Lin, then he He should have stabbed the short knife into Boss Lin's chest, then pulled it out, or abandoned the knife and left the scene quickly. How could he stab the knife into Boss Lin's chest? He had to wait until Boss Lin fell to the ground. , then he squatted down and drew the knife again, asking, is there such a stupid murderer in the world, and is this reasonable?"
Murong Xiaotian's words made everyone present couldn't help but nod their heads. There were indeed many things that didn't make sense.
Murong Xiaotian didn't wait for City Master Fang to speak, and continued: "So, this can only explain one thing. When Wu Tian arrived at the scene, Boss Lin was already dead there. When Wu Tian saw Boss Lin lying on the ground, he squatted down and wanted to save him. Pull out the knife from Boss Lin's chest and see if Boss Lin can be saved. This is reasonable, this makes sense, and this is the fact."
"Well, what you said is not unreasonable," City Lord Fang nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Listening to what you said, Capt. Gao's testimony does not prove that Wu Tian is the murderer, but Niu Er But I witnessed the entire process of Wu Tian’s murder, which is irrefutable evidence,”
"He lied," Murong Xiaotian yelled, interrupting City Master Fang's words, pointing at Niu Er, his eyes fixed on Niu'er's face without blinking, making Niu Er shiver suddenly.
"I, I didn't lie, sir,"
Hearing Niu Er's answer, Murong Xiaotian was secretly amused. Niu Er's confidence was completely shattered by his harsh words. Murong Xiaotian was sure that the initiative in this case was already in his hands. It's in his own hands. Now he just needs to lead Niu Er by the nose and follow the hole he set, and he won't be afraid that he won't be able to dig out the real culprit.
"Niu Er, let me ask you," Murong Xiaotian's voice relaxed and calmed down, and he walked slowly in front of Niu Er: "You said that you happened to be repairing the axle, so you witnessed the whole process of Wu Gang's murder. Then let me ask you, were you repairing the left axle or the right axle?"
"This, it seems to be the left one," Niu Er's forehead was already sweating.
"Yes it is, no means no, what is it like?" Murong Xiaotian's voice suddenly became stern again.
"Left, left,"
"You're lying," Murong Xiaotian's voice sounded like thunder: "The view to the left of the axle of the car is blocked by a tree in front of you. You can't see the murder scene at all. Can your eyes still see through?"
"I, I remembered wrongly, it was on the right side," Niu'er, this guy, was about to collapse.
"That's nonsense." Murong Xiaotian looked at Niu Er with contempt: "Your axle has never been broken at all, and your horse has never been frightened at all. Everything you said is a lie,"
"You, you, you, you are talking nonsense." This time, Niu Er was hit in the vital point, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Sir," Murong Xiaotian ignored Niu Er and raised his hands to City Master Fang: "For a carriage that is running normally, the horse's footsteps are clear and orderly, and the pace is even and not too big, but for a frightened horse, that horse It will definitely run with all its strength, the footprints will be messy, and the steps will be uneven. Another point is that if the axle on one side is broken, the entire carriage will inevitably tilt slightly, which will make one side heavier and the other lighter. The wheel marks left by the carriage , it should be deeper on one side and shallower on the other. But at the crime scene, the wheel marks were the same depth on both sides, the horse's footprints were clear and orderly, and the pace was even. The carriage axle was not broken at all, and the horse was not broken at all. I'm shocked. It's been dry and dry these past few days, and no one has passed by in the woods where the crime occurred. All the traces are clearly visible. If you don't believe me, you might as well find someone knowledgeable and take a look."
When City Master Fang heard this, he was shocked: "Niu Er, how dare you talk nonsense and frame others. What are your intentions? Why don't you just tell the truth? Did you kill Boss Lin and then deliberately set up the marriage?" Woe," when it came to this, Fang Cheng mainly didn't understand that Niu Er was committing perjury, so he was really an idiot.
"Sir, I am unjustly accused. I did not kill Boss Lin. I did not kill anyone." Niu Er's face changed completely. He knelt down on the ground and kept shouting that he was unjustly accused.
"This case has nothing to do with you. Since you said you didn't kill the person, then tell me who killed Boss Lin."
"I don't know, sir, I really didn't kill anyone," Niu Er knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Humph, I won't serve you with a heavy punishment. It seems you are unwilling to tell the truth. Come on, I'll serve you with a severe punishment..."
"Wait a minute," at this juncture, Murong Xiaotian spoke up: "Sir City Lord, I really can't praise you for your conclusion of the case. No wonder Wu Tian was convicted of death indiscriminately. It's true that Niu Er made a false confession. But this only proves that there are still many doubts in this case. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that Wu Tian committed murder, but Wu Tian is still the most suspected murderer. Now you are saying that Niu Er committed murder, which is even more baseless. How can you, sir, rely on you to decide the case? Is it just punishment and unjust accusation?"
"Yes, yes, sir, what you said makes sense," Niu Er, who was kneeling on the ground, said in agreement. At this moment, it was as if Murong Xiaotian suddenly felt that Murong Xiaotian had become his savior.
"You," the city lord below was speechless by Murong Xiaotian. He really couldn't understand what Murong Xiaotian wanted to do. Why did he suddenly turn around and help this awesome guy? Could it be that he was out of his mind? The water is gone.
"Dad, dad,"
The angry City Master Fang heard his daughter's shout again, and this time he didn't even say hello and hid behind the screen.
"Hehe, Dad, look at your face, it's turned into a bitter gourd. I think that Mr. Thief must have a deeper meaning. You might as well withdraw from the court temporarily and say that there are many doubts in this case and wait until the investigation is clear before starting the trial. , I will invite Mr. Thief to the back hall to talk about it after he retires. I think the truth about this case will be revealed."
"Hey, I am a city lord, why do I have to do what that thief wants?" City Lord Fang sighed and reluctantly walked back to the lobby.
"Since a new situation has emerged in this case, the city lord will definitely send people to investigate and get to the bottom of it. After the investigation is complete, a retrial will be held at a selected date. Mr. Thief, what do you think?"
"My lord is wise," Murong Xiaotian smiled. This was the result he wanted. The goal of knocking down the mountain and shaking the tiger was achieved. He believed that this time Niu Er would be eager to meet the person who ordered him to give false testimony. The next thing he has to do is to invite you into the urn.
After leaving the lobby, Murong Xiaotian and Wu Gang were about to leave, but they were stopped by the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion, saying that the City Lord had invited them. Murong Xiaotian gave Wu Gang a few words, and when Wu Gang left in a hurry, he followed the housekeeper into the City Lord's Mansion. Mansion.
"It's you." As soon as Murong Xiaotian entered the living room of Fang Mansion and saw Fang Ying, he was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "I mean, why did the Lord of the City run behind the screen at the critical moment? It turned out to be Because there is a female Zhuge hidden behind the screen,"
"Hehe, but I still can't fully understand your intention," Fang Ying smiled softly, and it was so charming that Murong Xiaotian couldn't help but feel dizzy.
"Come on, brother thief, I have prepared some food and drinks. Fang still has many things that he is not sure about. I would like to ask sir for advice." At this time, City Lord Fang also came over and took Murong Xiaotian to sit down at the table.
After three rounds of drinking, the city lord asked: "Mr. Thief, this bully must have something up his sleeve when he perjured his testimony. Taking advantage of his situation, sir, he didn't let me strike while the iron was hot. Instead, he asked me to suppress him and try him later. He immediately withdrew from the court." , and let two cows go, what’s the point of this,”
"Niu Er is not the real murderer, so what's the use of arresting him,"
"Sir, do you already know who the real murderer is?" the city lord was surprised.
"Although I don't know yet, I think if I can't get through tonight, the real murderer will show up," Murong Xiaotian smiled confidently: "I have figured out the whole case, I think it should be like this, That morning, Niu Er drove the concubine of the rice store owner and not far from the carriage shop, he couldn't wait to drive the carriage into the woods and got into the carriage to live with Hu. At this time, Boss Lin came out of the carriage shop. I came in the direction and happened to come here. I happened to meet the murderer who was about to go to the car dealership. There was a dispute over something unknown. The murderer killed Boss Lin with a knife and fled from the woods. While escaping, he happened to see another person. When they arrived at Niu'er's carriage and heard the noise inside, they knew that Niu Er was having an affair with Mr. Hu."
"At this time, it happened that Capt. Gao mistakenly believed that Uncle Wu had killed Boss Lin. During the investigation, my father discovered that Niu Er's carriage happened to have stopped in the forest on that roadside that morning." At this time, Fang Ying took over the topic with a smile: "The real murderer knew all this and knew that my father would definitely find Niu Er for verification. Seeing this opportunity, he simply went with the flow and forced Niu Er to give false testimony, killing Uncle Wu, so as to avoid future troubles. ,isn’t that so?”
"Hey, you're so smart, you can tell with just one click," Murong Xiaotian had to admire Fang Ying. What he said was exactly the same as his own inference: "City Master Fang, there is something that I really can't figure out."
"What's up,"
"Fang Ying is so smart, how could she have a dad as stupid as you, haha..."
"You kid..."
"Giggle, giggle," Fang Ying was also amused by Murong Xiaotian's words and couldn't help laughing...
