Huang Quan continued: "The intention to kill is like a spark on a dry grassland. Once it is born, it can no longer be contained. At that time, she accused me of not having any intention of marrying her, saying that if I dared to let her down, she would make trouble for me.
With my reputation ruined, I looked at her suddenly arrogant face and pinched her without even thinking about it. At that time, my mind went blank and I was almost numb. My only thought was to prevent her from ruining my future."
"She struggled and kicked me to the ground. There were vines on the ground. I pulled up the vines and wrapped them around her neck. She struggled with the vines and reached her chest. I had to rush forward and choke her with my hands, but I couldn't hold her for a while.
I heard footsteps, and I panicked. I let her go and ran back to the tavern. In fact, I didn’t know if she was dead or not. After I went back, I thought that if someone found out, not only would my future be ruined, but I would also
Life for life, I really hated her at that moment."
"There is a question," the prince looked at him. "At that time, your friends and the people in the tavern testified for you that you drank in that place that night. I have seen that the tavern where you drank is at least two miles away from the West Tower.
road, and you first went to wait for her near the west building, then took her to the woods to talk, and finally killed her and escaped back to the tavern. It would take at least half an hour, but the confessions of your friends and the waiter said that you only went there
hut."
Huang Quan said: "After I ran back, I felt restless and ran to the hut. It wasn't until my friend came and knocked on the door of the hut that I staggered out and said that I was drunk and fell asleep in the hut. Then I said to
My friend said that it was shameful to fall asleep drunk in the latrine, so he asked him to keep it a secret for me so as not to ruin my reputation. He also used money to pay the waiter in the tavern. The waiter had become familiar with me a long time ago and was willing to help me keep the secret. Official official
When I asked them about it, they naturally didn't mention it and just said that I had been drinking in the pub. In fact, they didn't know that I had ever gone out and everything had nothing to do with them."
King Qi snorted, "Just because of their confessions, the Jingzhao Mansion eliminated your suspicion at that time."
He had read the files at that time, and Huang Quan had alibi and more than one person had testified. After visiting and investigating, it was found that many drinkers saw him in the tavern that night, so Jingzhao Mansion ruled out his suspicion.
In addition, the deceased had an appointment with Chen Wu at that time, so all the focus was on Chen Wu.
The prince got the answer he wanted, so he ordered Huang Quan to be temporarily imprisoned. However, he heard Huang Quan murmur again, "I have no regrets. I have lived a wonderful life in the past ten years. Now with my life
Even if I take my own life, I have no regrets. If I hadn't killed her, I wouldn't have the glory I have today. What do I want in this life?"
The prince wanted to say that with your talent and learning, even if you marry her, you can still be the top scholar in high school and become an official. However, he feels that there is no need to say it. He knows this himself.
It’s hard to say whether your achievements would be higher than you are now if you don’t carry a life on your back, but at least you can live a more relaxed and carefree life, you won’t have any hidden secrets in your heart, and you can do things without any guilt.
After King Qi put Huang Quan in prison, he somehow remembered poor Chen Wu.
The prince said that Wu Wen took her last breath because Chen Wu fell down and was entangled in vines and dragged her into the creek.
Chen Wu did not have the intention to kill. His fall was an accident, so he was not responsible for the injury.
The problem is that, according to the prince, although Huang Quan had thoughts of killing, he did not kill Wu Wen, and he killed Wu Wen in a moment of anger. It was not a deliberate killing that had been premeditated. Whether he can be sentenced to death is another matter.
He said to the prince: "We have to discuss this matter with the Ministry of Justice later."
Hearing this, the prince said: "How Wu Wen died in the end cannot be studied, and there is no evidence for what we have speculated."
"But if what you said is true, Huang Quan did not actually kill Wu Wen. It was considered an attempted murder. The conviction will not affect it. It will affect the sentencing. When we handle the case, we still have to pay attention to the truth."
The prince frowned, "Well, Uncle Qi is right. There is no way to change the autopsy report now. After all, the body has turned into bones."
"Bao'er, in fact, if Chen Wu hadn't gone and thrown Wu Wen down, Wu Wen would have died."
"But the fact is that Chen Wu went and knocked Wu Wen down, so now we have no way to assume that if Chen Wu had not gone, Wu Wen would have survived or been rescued by someone passing by."
King Qi had never dealt with such a difficult case before. He looked at him and asked, "How should we judge it?"
