Chapter 98: Go to the confrontation! Humanity and the iron-faced judge!
Zhao Zhongxiang asked: "Can anyone prove it? If so, it would prove that Butler Du Fu is lying."
Qin Ziyi shook his head and said: "No, Qin is alone in his family these days. There are a few masters from Dali Temple nearby, but Qin can be sure that none of them can see me."
The death of Cao Gongyun was clearly visible before. It must have been a spy inside Dali Temple, so he was easily assassinated by the enemy.
So Qin Ziyi even guarded against his own people.
He is the young minister of Dali Temple. He is proficient in various counter-investigation methods. As long as he does not want to be found by others, it will be difficult for the other party to find him.
"That would be a bit troublesome."
Zhao Zhongxiang frowned and said: "I trust Qin Shaoqing. With Qin Shaoqing's intelligence, even if he kills someone, he will never leave such obvious clues."
Qin Ziyi sighed and said: "Even if there are no clues left, Qin didn't kill him. Qin didn't even bother to vent his anger with murder."
Zhao Zhongxiang nodded and said, "Yes, Qin Shaoqing won't do such a thing, but now..."
He was a little embarrassed: "Many clues prove that Qin Shaoqing really went to Du Mansion in the morning, and..."
"Zhao Fuyin, and what?"
Zhao Zhongxiang took a deep breath and said: "Besides, the deceased left information about the murderer before he died. That information also points directly to you, Qin Shaoqing."
"So Qin Shaoqing, you have become the biggest suspect now."
Hearing this, Qin Ziyi's eyes flashed and her face became serious.
Du Linli died after a conflict with himself, and the clues pointed directly to him.
This doesn't look like an accident, but... someone deliberately targeted me.
So who is going to frame him?
Du Lin Li himself?
Or...is he the real murderer?
His eyes flickered, he looked at Zhao Zhongxiang, and said, "Yin Zhao, can you... take Mr. Qin to the scene of the accident?"
"Qin wants to see what kind of clues are there that will make me lie down at home and cause the pot to fall from the sky!"
After hearing this, Zhao Zhongxiang thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay! Qin Shaoqing, come with me."
He led Qin Ziyi to Du Mansion.
Du Mansion is located in the west of Chang'an City. The mansion is not big and there are not many people there.
Du Linli is older and doesn't like making noise.
Therefore, there is only an old housekeeper and a cook taking care of it.
The cook has something to do at home these days and has been away for several days.
Therefore, the old housekeeper was the only one left running up and down the mansion.
Zhao Zhongxiang introduced: "When the disease broke out, the old housekeeper happened to go out to buy things, and by the time the old housekeeper came back, it was already afternoon."
"Then the housekeeper bought some food outside and wanted to deliver it to Du Linli. Who knew that after knocking for a long time, there was no response from the study door."
"The old housekeeper pushed the door open in confusion, only to see that his master had died in the study."
"Then the old housekeeper hurriedly went to report to the official, and we arrived here as soon as possible."
Qin Ziyi walked while listening to Zhao Zhongxiang's introduction.
He thought about it carefully and said: "Yin Zhao, as you said, the old housekeeper was not at home when the death occurred, so why did he confirm that Qin came to the Du Mansion and was the last one alive?"
Zhao Zhongxiang looked at Qin Ziyi and said, "Because the old housekeeper said that two greeting cards were sent over this morning. One is from Zhou Yi, the Minister of Rites, and the other is from you, Qin Shaoqing."
"Zhou Yi, the Minister of Rites, will come here before Qin Shaoqing, and after Zhou Yi leaves, the old housekeeper will go shopping."
"At that time, Du Linli also told the old housekeeper to leave a door open so that Qin Shaoqing could come directly."
"And when the old butler was leaving, he happened to meet Qin Shaoqing coming over. However, the old butler had already gone out and did not have time to say hello to Qin Shaoqing, but he was sure that it was you, Qin Shaoqing!"
"The whole morning, except Zhou Lu and Qin Shaoqing, no one else came to Du Mansion, and the time of Du Linli's death happened to be when Qin Shaoqing went there..."
"In addition, there was a death message left by Du Lin and Li at the scene. Li Hengyun and Li Junjun, who were in charge of this case, initially identified you, Qin Shaoqing. He felt that this matter was very serious, so he asked me to invite you, Qin Shaoqing."
Qin Ziyi narrowed her eyes when she heard Zhao Fuyin's words.
After a moment, he suddenly sneered.
"Interesting, this eucalyptus is really interesting."
"Qin took a nap at home, and the results were irrefutable, proving that Qin had been here. There was even a motive and a time to commit the crime, and all the witnesses and material evidence were complete..."
He looked at Zhao Zhongxiang and said with a smile: "Yin Zhao, not to mention you, even Qin also doubts whether I really sleepwalked to the Du Mansion and killed Du Linli."
Zhao Zhongxiang sighed and said, "Qin Shaoqing, why is it so tricky?"
Qin Ziyi smiled, his eyes bright: "It's quite tricky, but it's also very interesting."
"Yin Zhao, to tell you the truth, Qin has done so many times, and this is the first time he has encountered someone who plotted against Qin. You said... is this interesting to Qin?
?"
Zhao Zhongxiang doesn't find this interesting.
If this happened to him, he would only feel a huge headache.
After all, the evidence is irrefutable. If you meet an unreliable official, you may be dead.
Qin Ziyi, on the other hand, was eager to try.
Perhaps this is the reason why Your Majesty dared to hand over the documents of His Royal Highness Xiao Sizi to Qin Ziyi.
While talking, the two finally arrived at Du Mansion.
At this time, some government officials from Jing Zhaoyin were already present in the Du Mansion, and the discovery site was protected by the government officials and was not damaged.
The only old housekeeper had a sad face at this time.
Seeing Qin Ziyi's arrival, Li Hengyun came over with his men, held a knife in his hands and said, "Qin Shaoqing, I'm sorry for inviting you here like this."
Qin Ziyi shook his head and didn't care.
The old housekeeper next to him was stunned for a moment and asked: "Who is this!?"
Qin Ziyi laughed and said: "I am the Young Minister of Dali Temple. Didn't the old man say that he met Qin this morning? Why, you don't recognize him!?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The old housekeeper said: "When I saw you in the morning, the distance was relatively far. I went out to the west, and you came from the east.
I can only look at your official robe and recognize you as the Young Minister of Dali Temple."
Qin Ziyi raised her eyebrows and asked, "So, the old man didn't see Qin's appearance, but just recognized him by his clothes?"
The old housekeeper nodded, but then quickly said: "Don't think I'm old, I have very good eyesight, but you are the last one to come!"
"My master also left information about the murderer. It must be you who killed my master."
"Why are you so vicious? My master has no enmity with you. We just had a quarrel. Why did you kill him directly?"
Qin Ziyi said calmly: "Old man, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Before the final trial by the government, Qin is at best a suspect, not a murderer."
"If you directly say that Qin is the murderer, then you are slandering me, Qin Ziyi."
"Of course, Qin was anxious when he missed you, so he stopped arguing with you. But if Qin doesn't argue with you, that's Qin's magnanimity!"
"If you continue to sound murderous and vicious, then Qin's methods may not be so generous."
After saying that, Qin Ziyi asked Li Hengyun to take the housekeeper aside. Li Hengyun did so without any doubt, and Qin Ziyi entered the study first.
"Li Canjun, whatever your idea is, I will support you."
Zhao Zhongxiang did not go in, but after giving such instructions, he took several Jingzhao Yin officials and left.
Li Hengyun immediately took a deep breath.
His own governor really gave him a huge problem.
The murderer of this case is suspected to be Qin Ziyi, and Qin Ziyi is a person who has been in the limelight recently. Your Majesty will definitely try to ensure that he is correct. So... how should he judge this case?!
Do you prefer humaneness and sophistication? Or do you prefer an iron-blooded judge?
Li Hengyun rubbed his head and felt that it was extremely difficult.
"Let's go in, too."
Li Hengyun waved his hand and led the people inside, planning to take a step at a time.
at this time,
In the study room, Qin Ziyi only found it extremely interesting.
In the past, he always intervened as an irrelevant person.
But today, he was regarded as a suspect, and people with relevant identities came to interrogate him.
Although he is still the same person, but his identity is different, the feeling given to him is completely different.
As an unrelated person, he can remain calm at all times and only needs to pay attention to the situation.
But now that he is regarded as a suspect, he needs to face the special gazes of others, and he must try his best to clear himself of the suspicion. There are many things that need to be paid attention to.
At this time, he suddenly understood the mood of the suspects.
Regardless of whether he is the real murderer or not, it will not feel good when someone looks at him with colored eyes.
Entering the study, you can see that the study is slightly chaotic.
Some books were scattered on the floor, the stools were crooked, and the desk was crooked.
It seems that the deceased must have struggled before death.
The newly appointed Minister of Justice, Du Linli, was lying on the floor with a dagger stuck in his heart.
Blood flowed from the wound and solidified around the body.
Qin Ziyi knelt down to check and found that one of the deceased's hands was covered on the floor, and the other hand was pressed by his body.
He asked Wu Zuo: "Is this the way the deceased was when he died?"
Wu Zuo nodded quickly and replied: "Yes, the deceased was like this when we came over, and no one touched him."
"Furthermore, after examination by the lower official, it was found that he struggled before his death. The cause of death was that a sharp instrument pierced his heart and he bled to death."
"He died of excessive bleeding... In other words, there is still a short period of time between injury and actual death, right?" Qin Ziyi asked.
Wu Zuo nodded and replied: "Not bad."
He understood clearly.
He gently pushed the body, checked the hand that was pressed under the body, and raised his hand...
"This is……."
Qin Ziyi found that the palm of the deceased's hand was covered with a small piece of rag.
This piece of rag is blue on the front and black on the back, but there's nothing special about it.
Qin Ziyi thought for a while, put the rag back, and let the body return to its original position.
"Qin Shaoqing."
Li Hengyun came over and said: "Zhao Fuyin has left, and the lower official will be responsible for this case. Qin Shaoqing, look, this is the invitation that Du Lin and Li received."
Between the worldly and iron-faced judge, Li Hengyun chooses the worldly world for the sake of his future.
So he handed the invitation to the suspect.
Qin Ziyi's eyes flickered, and she was stunned for only a moment before taking the greeting card and opening it. Sure enough, it said that it was Du Linli who was coming to visit.
And it also has its own signature.
Li Hengyun asked: "Qin Shaoqing, is this your handwriting!?"
Qin Ziyi narrowed his eyes and said: "It's very similar. Even Qin can't tell the truth from the fake. It seems that the murderer really put a lot of thought into it. It's not easy to copy Qin's handwriting.
"
He returned the greeting card to Li Hengyun and asked: "Li Canjun, you said that the deceased left information about Qin before his death. Where is it?!"
Li Hengyun quickly took Qin Ziyi to the side of the deceased, then pointed to the deceased's hand covering the ground and said, "That's right here."
As he spoke, he raised the deceased's hand.
As soon as he raised his hand, Qin Ziyi discovered...
Under the hand of the deceased, there was actually a word written in blood.
instrument!
That’s right, it’s Qin Ziyi’s instrument!!
Although this character is a bit ugly and looks a bit too big and too slender, it is indeed a character for "rite".
Li Hengyun looked at Qin Ziyi and said: "Blessings, this letter of blood, as well as the old housekeeper's confession, and Qin Shaoqing's lack of alibi, plus Qin Shaoqing once had a conflict with Du Linli."
"These... almost all prove that the murderer is almost you, Qin Shaoqing!"
Qin Ziyi's eyes narrowed slightly.
All the clues and details flashed through his mind like a movie.
Suddenly, Qin Ziyi's eyes flashed.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said: "I see, Li Canjun, now Qin understands everything."
"What?" Li Hengyun was startled and looked at Qin Ziyi in confusion.
Qin Ziyi said: "Qin, I already know who the murderer is, but before that, Qin needs you to confirm something for me."
"One piece is enough to establish all the ironclad evidence for Ding!!"
Li Hengyun heard Qin Ziyi's whispered words, nodded quickly and said: "Qin Shaoqing, don't worry, I will do it now."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Looking at Li Hengyun's figure, Qin Ziyi couldn't help but shook her head and smiled softly.
Withdrawing his gaze, he continued to walk around the slightly chaotic study room.
Although, now he knows who the murderer is and how the murderer puts all the blame on himself.
However, he is still not very clear about the murderer's motive.
When I came to the table, I saw several pieces of paper spread out on the table. The brush was poured over the paper and ink was spread all over the paper.
Qin Ziyi's eyes narrowed. Looking at it like this, the deceased should have been writing something before he died.
…………
p: Reading back, the more I thought about the conversation between Qin Ziyi and Zhao Zhongxiang, the more wrong it became. The two officers were a little confused, so Qin Ziyi's title was changed to Qin.
