All the lights were lit, illuminating the entire prison as if it were daylight.
Zuo Zuo began to examine the body of the "culprit", and his apprentice also started writing the examination report. The two of them did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Wang Yun had been watching from the side, asking questions from time to time. After half an hour, he came to the conclusion: "Even strong poison will not damage the internal organs to this extent in a short period of time. It seems that the poison has been taken long ago. Until
It’s only now that it’s fatal.”
The police, the county magistrate, and the jailer all breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no mistake in their supervision, the culprit caught by all the efforts in the yamen died before he could be interrogated. No matter who was charged with this crime, whoever
I couldn't even eat it and had to walk around.
Wang Yun turned around and entered the small room next to him. The first thing he saw was the girl with Mi Li. After coming to Fengxiang, he also had some understanding of the case. The yamen could catch the murderer so quickly because it was the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anyi.
Some evidence was found.
It was rare for the Xu family to have such a clear-minded person, and Wang Yun showed a look of approval on his face.
Without saying too much, Wang Yun asked Mr. Cao again: "After the prisoner is imprisoned, the Yamen will naturally come to interrogate him. Why did you come to the prison at this time? What did you say to the prisoner?"
The blood on Mr. Cao's face has not been wiped off, but he is much calmer than before. He stood up and saluted Wang Yun: "My little girl died tragically. I just wanted to catch the murderer as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that this case would be implicated."
To my roommate.
The house was in chaos, and I couldn't sit still, so I thought of coming to the Yamen to hear the news. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the Yamen, I heard that the murderer was poisoned.
The county magistrate and I hurried to the prison. The murderer kept vomiting blood and saw that he was dying. I anxiously asked the murderer why he wanted to harm my daughter, but he was speechless."
Xu Qinghuan looked at Mr. Cao and his eyes flashed, obviously concealing the inside story. Although Mr. Wang Yun remained silent, he should have noticed it.
The county magistrate hurriedly bowed and confirmed: "It is indeed the case." Recalling the scene just now, sweat dripped from his forehead again.
At that time, he hurried to the prison and saw the murderer vomiting blood, with a ferocious look on his face, like an evil ghost in hell.
Mr. Cao couldn't help but ask the murderer: "Why on earth did you kill my daughter?"
The murderer's eyes fell on Mr. Cao, and suddenly his face was full of smiles, and his whole expression became happy, and he said vaguely: "The delicate body... so soft... I just like... look at it
Hold her...watch her...keep twisting..."
The expression seemed to be touching the girl's body, and she made exclamations of admiration from time to time, which brought everyone back to the moment when Miss Cao was killed.
Mr. Cao couldn't hold back any longer, so he stepped forward and caught the assailant.
Unexpectedly, the murderer was already prepared. He opened his mouth and sprayed blood on Mr. Cao's face, and then laughed wildly. But in the end, he was at the end of his strength, his voice became lower and lower, and his body began to twitch involuntarily.
The county magistrate only heard one sentence from the murderer: "Do you want to know why I killed her?"
Mr. Cao lowered his head and listened.
The murderer's mouth opened and closed, and then stopped moving completely.
When the county magistrate thought of this, he immediately looked at Mr. Cao: "What did the murderer say to you in the end?"
Mr. Cao swallowed: "His voice was too soft, I didn't hear him clearly."
Wang Yun frowned: "Mr. Cao sacrificed his life for righteousness back then. You should also have integrity. Her relatives should not cover up their mistakes, not to mention that the ones who died were your own flesh and blood."
Wang Yun took a few steps forward, his momentum was overwhelming, making Mr. Cao even more depressed.
Wang Yundao: "The banknotes were found from the murderer. Mrs. Xu's confidant Tan Da has also been arrested. Tonight, I will personally interrogate and testify. The evidence is conclusive. How can you cover it up by yourself? If Mr. Cao is
Even if you are still alive, you will be humiliated by this. Do you want to watch Cao's reputation be ruined in your hands?
If you have a fair heart and cooperate with the court in handling the case, I will also go to the court to ask for merit for you. You are still young and still have the opportunity to become an official again."
Mr. Cao's hands were clenched tightly, as if he would collapse the next time he took a breath.
Xu Qing'an couldn't help but whispered: "Master Wang is so awesome."
Xu Qinghuan nodded. Wang Yun's words that attack the heart can often achieve miraculous results. Reputation and official career are the two things that Mr. Cao is most concerned about, and they have already exceeded the life of Mrs. Xu Er.
Mr. Cao suddenly raised his head, with a resolute look on his face: "Your Excellency, you are right, I should stick to my integrity to live up to my ancestors.
If I had heard what the murderer said, I would have said it word for word, but the murderer's voice was very low before he died, so I really didn't hear anything."
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect Mr. Cao to really try to lose his reputation and protect Mrs. Xu.
Things are completely different from the previous life now.
Wang Yun said coldly: "In this case, you and I have nothing to say. You go back and restrain the people involved in this case and wait for the court to ask questions."
Mr. Cao responded and walked out of the prison.
Wang Yun looked at Xu Qinghuan: "Don't worry, no matter who she is, as long as she violates the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, I will arrest her and bring her to justice."
Wang Yun was about to turn around when he saw Miss Xu taking a step forward: "Sir, do you also think that Mrs. Xu Er paid for the murder in order to frame my brother?"
Wang Yun was a little surprised: "Is there something inside?"
Xu Qinghuan said: "Now it can only be proved that Mrs. Xu Er wanted to frame my brother and bribed the murderer to sneak into the Cao family and kidnap people."
Sun Chong, who remained silent next to him, couldn't help but said: "Isn't this the whole case?"
Xu Qinghuan shook his head: "It only talks about kidnapping people, not killing people."
Sun Chong retorted: "That's because things changed and the murderer had to kill to silence him."
Xu Qinghuan said: "Why did Mr. Sun say that things have changed?"
Sun Chong didn't understand whether it was possible that Miss Xu had forgotten all the causes and consequences: "It's because the prince has cleared the suspicion."
"No," Xu Qinghuan looked calm, "it was the murderer who entered Cao's house as agreed before, but found that Cao Ruzhen did not appear in the back garden as usual. At this time, he found that Cao Ruwan was alone, so he did not
Any hesitation kidnapped Cao Ruwan.
Mr. Sun would say that there is no difference between Cao Ruzhen and Cao Ruwan as they are both Miss Cao, and they are the same no matter who they kidnap.
In fact, it is quite different. Cao Ruzhen is the posthumous son of Mr. Cao Si, who has not yet married. Cao Ruzhen is naturally a concubine. Her appearance has caused a lot of doubts for the Cao family. If it were not for the two chastity memorial arches of the Cao family,
I'm afraid rumors have already spread.
But even so, Cao Ruzhen's life experience will be mentioned again every time the Miss Cao family talks about marriage. On the surface, the Cao family seems to be calm, but secretly they must be very upset. From this, we can think of Cao Ruzhen's situation in the Cao family.
If something happened to Cao Ruzhen, the Cao family would not be so concerned. Even if they knew that Mrs. Xu arranged the matter, they would probably ignore it because everyone is accustomed to weighing interests.
This is why Mrs. Xu will never harm Cao Ruwan. Cao Ruwan is Mrs. Cao’s heart. If she dies, the Cao family will never let it go. What’s more, Mrs. Cao also wants to betroth Cao Ruwan to Zhang He to gain power.
Going to my uncle's house and killing Cao Ruwan will only bring disaster to Mrs. Xu."
Xu Qinghuan said and looked at Sun Chong again: "Master Sun, does the murderer seem to be a habitual criminal?"
Sun Chong nodded: "He has thick calluses on his palms and fingertips, which is what happens to people who often use sharp blades. Moreover, his killing methods are simple and neat, which shows that he does not take human life seriously. He said that he found it difficult to escape and took poison directly.
It’s not something ordinary people can do.”
"That's right," Xu Qinghuan said, "A murderer who often deals in human lives naturally understands his employer's needs very well. How could he just kidnap and kill the wrong person so casually?"
Wang Yun's expression also became serious: "So the murderer is someone else, or someone took advantage of Mrs. Xu's opportunity to pay for the murder to achieve his own goals."
Xu Qinghuan said: "I just don't know what the murderer's purpose is yet, and whether he will continue to kill people."
…
Mr. Cao came out of the Yamen, his feet went weak and he almost fell out.
Mr. Cao Er hurriedly stepped forward and helped him into the carriage.
After entering the car, Mr. Cao began to tremble and couldn't say a word.
"Brother," Master Cao Er said, "what happened? Is the murderer really dead? You can tell me whether the elder sister paid for the murder."
"It's him," Mr. Cao stared at Mr. Cao with his empty eyes, "Others still knew about what happened back then, and now they are here."
Although the murderer's voice was soft, he still heard clearly. What the murderer said was: "Do you still remember...the money...back then...he...wanted...to take revenge..."
Mr. Cao clasped his hands and tried to calm down, so he could not tell Wang Yun this sentence, nor could he absolve his eldest sister.
Mr. Cao Er also fell into the carriage: "Then...then...what...should...we...do..."
"Kill..." Mr. Cao said viciously, "find them...kill...all of them."
