"Is the scholar finished?"
"..."
"say!"
"Gu..."
"If you don't want to tell me, I'll tell you. Lin De passed the imperial examination two years ago and is also the accountant of the Qi family cloth shop. Lord Jian said that he loves talents. When he heard the news, he was very sorry and criticized Lin De for not reading the good books of sages and choosing to make those small money."
The people can't handle it anymore.
Bozhou, Qi family, cloth business...
Taking these three conditions into consideration, it seems that only the family that was wiped out a few days ago,
In other words, Lind should have died then.
hiss……
Those who were timid began to shiver.
Li Qingcha said, "It's really interesting that Lin De appeared in the Hong family massacre. Did he die twice? Or did he escape the Qi family massacre? If he escaped, why didn't he report to the government?"
"Gu...hoho..."
Jian Zengren couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and intermittent breathing sounds came out of his mouth.
Li Qingcha continued, "Master Jian, your explanation at the time was that Lin De was already dead when the Qi family was exterminated. But the yamen runners forgot about Lin De when they dealt with the body, right?"
Jian Zengren dared neither admit nor deny.
He had already realized that he had fallen into the trap that Li Qingcha had set up step by step.
At this point, there is absolutely no possibility of breaking through.
Li Qingcha said, "Since you are silent, I will take it as your consent."
She laughed and weighed the jade pendant in her hand.
"However, according to the files, the Qi family was only wiped out, and there is no record of the jade pendant being stolen. In other words, before the Hong family was wiped out, whether Lin De was dead or alive, the jade pendant should have been worn by him, as the saying goes, 'A gentleman will never leave his jade pendant without a reason.'"
The people were a little confused.
"What does he mean?"
"I don't understand either."
"How stupid! What they mean is that there is something fishy about Lin De's death. If he was killed during the Qi family massacre, and his body had been kept in the morgue, how could the jade pendant appear as stolen goods in the Hong family massacre?"
"Could it be that someone has framed me..."
"It's hard to say."
"Could it be that this Lin De was the mastermind behind the Qi family's murder, and was later silenced?"
……
For a time, various conspiracy theories were rampant.
Chapter 213 Shut up if you don’t dare to die!
We can’t continue the trial!
Jian Zengren had already figured it out. If he continued to pester her, Li Qingcha might bite him.
With the ability shown by Li Qingcha...
Can't even think about it.
Jian Zengren slammed the gavel and said loudly, "It is almost noon. Today's trial ends here. I adjourn the court!"
Noon shit!
Even the snack stalls outside haven’t set up yet.
Li Qingcha raised his lips and said, "Master Jian, don't forget your promise. You just said, 'Today, I must try all the crimes together and I won't stop until the truth is revealed.'"
These are Jian Zengren's original words.
But at this moment, there seems to be no other way except to be shameless.
He could only turn a deaf ear.
however,
"Continue the trial!"
Suddenly, a clear female voice was heard from the crowd.
The onlookers were stunned and began to shout: "Continue the trial! Continue the trial! Continue the trial! Continue the trial! Continue the trial!"
At the beginning, it was up and down and relatively messy.
But before long, the voices of the people became a mighty river, drowning out the "mighty and powerful" voices of the yamen runners.
Jian Zengren: “…”
He finally realized that every word Li Qingcha said since the beginning of class was full of hidden meaning.
Take every step carefully?
This word is no longer enough to describe it.
Now, Jian Zengren has to conduct the trial even if he doesn't want to!
Otherwise, who knows how those peasants outside would spread gossip about him. By the time the Seventh Prince's team arrived in Bozhou, the people would be in an uproar and he would still lose his official hat.
Jian Zengren waved his hand and yelled at the yamen runner, "Shut up! Stop crying here!"
"Wei~~~"
"5555555..."
The bailiffs stopped poking the ground with their sticks.
Jian Zengren looked at Li Qingcha and said, "Okay, I will continue to play this game with you. How do you want to judge?"
Li Qingcha did not answer directly.
She turned to Heng Qiu,
"Master Heng... Shopkeeper Heng, from what you said, the account book does not belong to Mingxuetang?"
This was the second time Heng Qiu had witnessed Li Qingcha's prowess after Jinghu. He was filled with admiration and excitement.
She said cooperatively, "It's indeed not."
"So, what about the chest of treasure?"
"Not at all."
"Neither are the stolen goods from the Hong family murder case~"
"Correct."
Li Qingcha nodded.
She cleared her throat and said, "In that case, the matter is simple. We will try multiple crimes together, so we must start with the suspicious points. I request to examine Lind's body!"
Jian Zengren has also given up his fantasy.
He said, "Li Qingcha, you said before that although Lin De is an orphan, he has a teacher, and the autopsy must be approved by the teacher."
The trick of dragging,
This is also a compulsory course in the public sector.
Unfortunately, the current situation does not allow Jian Zengren to give up or make excuses.
Li Qingcha laughed.
"As a teacher, you should value the students' physical, mental and moral qualities, and set an example for others. I don't believe that Lind's teacher would disagree."
Jian Zengren immediately gave a rebuttal,
"You are not Linde's teacher, so what's the point of believing it or not?"
"Oh, as long as he is a Confucian scholar, he will definitely agree."
"What a shameless statement."
"is it?"
Li Qingcha stretched out his right hand and slowly swept his index finger across the crowd outside.
"Master Jian, seeing the current situation, do you think Linde's teacher will refuse?"
The crowd once again shouted in unison:
"Autopsy!"
"Autopsy!"
"Autopsy!"
Jian Zengqi: "..."
Once again faced with counterattacks from public opinion, he fully realized how stupid his previous decision was.
"Okay, I'll call the coroner to perform an autopsy."
"Why do you need a coroner? Just carry the body to the lobby and I'll do it myself."
"Li Qingcha, do you know that destroying a corpse is a serious crime?"
"An autopsy is not destruction."
"haha okay!"
Jian Zengren saw hope again.
Although Li Qingcha was an expert in criminal law, he could find an excuse to end the interrogation if the autopsy was not done properly.
Just wait for a few days and changes will naturally occur.
Jian Zengren nodded to the yamen runner beside him.
"Two of you, go and move Linde's body from the morgue. Today, let's open our eyes and see how the expert in criminal law from the capital performs an autopsy!"
"promise!"
The bailiffs ran away quickly.
What follows is a long wait.
In the past, the onlookers outside would have run away long ago, but today was different. They were all waiting to see the lawyer defeat the official, but they stood there without moving.
The sun gradually rose higher,
Finally, two yamen runners came back, sweating profusely, and placed a coffin in the lobby.
This is a makeshift coffin in the morgue.
Generally speaking, if the deceased has family members, they will buy a coffin and take it to the morgue. They will prepare the deceased's remains in a temporary coffin and then place the body in the coffin prepared by the family members and bury it.
Li Qingcha opened the coffin.
Although the common people were in a mood to watch the fun, they were still afraid of something as dark as a corpse. Many of them turned their faces away.
Only a few brave ones stood on tiptoe to look inside the coffin.
"Fuck! It's obvious that he has only been dead for two or three days!"
"I think so too! If I don't take care of the pig I killed, it will swell up to the size of three heads in ten days!"
"I think this Linde died recently."
……
Hearing their discussion, other people couldn't help but join in the discussion out of curiosity.
Jian Zengren: (oへo╬)
He banged the gavel.
"Shut up! Silence!"
