"I don't know... I promised my daughter to..."
"Where is the marriage certificate?"
"..."
"I'm telling you, I have plenty of ways to punish you! Just shut up now, and when you meet Ji Cheng later, you can make up for your crime and identify the person who committed the crime, and maybe you'll get a lighter sentence."
The word "official" has two mouths.
When facing Li Qingcha, Feng Weiqi gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze, but when it came to treating Lin Hui, he was even more cruel than the King of Hell.
He shook his sleeves and turned to look at Captain Zhao.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you go arrest Ji Cheng and bring him to justice?"
Chapter 45: Seeing Through Fire
Ji Cheng was tied up and taken to the yamen.
Ji Ji holds an official position in the palace, but he cannot be compared with a real official like the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor. If Feng Weiqi is determined to arrest him, he can even demolish the Ji Mansion.
Feng Weiqi looked at Ji Cheng kneeling on the ground with disgust in his eyes.
He turned to Li Qingcha,
"Mr. Siwei is a master at solving cases. The Ji Mansion happens to be in the circle you drew."
"Draw a circle? What do you mean by drawing a circle..." Li Qingcha didn't react at first, but later realized that the other party was talking about a map. "That's what your Excellency is talking about... It didn't work."
“Just because it’s not used in this case doesn’t mean it won’t be used in the future.”
"Thank you, my lord."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Ji Cheng’s teeth were almost broken.
Li Qingcha...
Why is it Li Qingcha again! ?
At this point, he already knew that the truth had been revealed, and he wanted to confess his guilt, but when he saw Li Qingcha, he felt more uncomfortable than if he had eaten a fly, and suddenly he didn't want to tell the truth so easily.
He himself couldn't figure out what was going on with this strange thought.
"Master Feng, are you going to torture me?"
Ji Cheng straightened his back and knelt upright.
Feng Weiqi didn't waste any words. He threw the token to the ground and said only one word: "Fight!"
It didn't say how to fight.
Didn't say how many times.
The officers all understood that their boss wanted them to be ruthless.
Two men brought a torture bench, pressed Ji Cheng on it, and then took off his pants. The other two picked up wooden sticks and started beating him.
There was a crackling sound of beating.
At the beginning, Ji Cheng could still scream like a pig being slaughtered, but after a few times he could only say “hmmmm ahhh”.
The scene was quite bloody.
Feng Weiqi raised his hand to stop the executioner, then asked, "Do you admit your guilt?"
Ji Cheng raised his head with difficulty, wanting to confess his guilt, but when he saw Li Qingcha, his words changed: "What crime have I committed?"
Hearing this, Gong Lianxue said softly,
"Brother, according to what you said, Ji Cheng is a man who looks fierce but is timid. He tramples on others but cares about himself. Such a person should confess after a round of torture. Why is he so stubborn now?"
Li Qingcha also didn't understand.
Before, she even thought that if Feng Weiqi asked the officers to show their sticks, Ji Cheng would confess.
"People's hearts are complicated, how can I see through them?" she said.
Gong Lianxue: Stare——
"What's wrong?" Li Qingcha was puzzled.
"Brother, can't you call it 'Seeing Through Like Fire'?" Gong Lianxue tilted her head and pretended to think, then spit out, "That's right, it really can't be called 'Seeing Through Like Fire'. That's called manipulation and teasing."
"It's not that mysterious."
"(ˉ▽￣~) Cut~~"
Moderate modesty is called low-key, while excessive modesty is just pretentiousness.
Gong Lianxue is dissatisfied with Li Qingcha's pretentious behavior.
Because Ji Cheng refused to plead guilty, Feng Weiqi was so angry that his hands were shaking.
He picked up another token, thought about it, and put it back.
There is a procedure for the interrogation. The suspect can indeed be treated miscellaneously first, but then he has to be questioned, evidence presented, and witnesses called. After this round, if the prisoner still does not plead guilty, he will be treated miscellaneously again, and the cycle will continue.
After all, you can't just beat someone to death without leaving any testimony, right?
Feng Weiqi waved his hand.
Someone immediately brought Lin Hui to the court.
Lin Hui fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed and shouted, "Sir, it's him! It's him!"
Feng Weiqi: ￣□￣｜｜
He hasn't asked anything yet.
Fortunately, Ji Cheng, who was standing by, was a complete idiot. He actually cooperated with Lin Hui and said, "You sent your daughter to my house, but she left on her own. Her death has nothing to do with me."
Feng Weiqi: ...
"Did I say Miss Lin was dead?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell into silence.
Ji Cheng was stunned for a while, and then he argued with difficulty: "Letting Lin Hui testify can only be Miss Lin's business, so what I said just now was just my speculation."
Feng Weiqi sneered and said, "What a good guess! Then I ask you, what is this?"
An officer took out the amulet from Daxiangguo Temple.
Ji Cheng was stunned, thinking that he had burned all those things and there should be no physical evidence left. Suddenly he realized that Feng Weiqi was bluffing.
He looked up and found that Feng Weiqi's eyes were as fast as lightning, as if he could see through people.
"I don't know what this is." Ji Cheng said.
"Do not you know?"
"do not know."
"Then let me tell you. This is the amulet from Daxiangguo Temple. Your driver said that you went to Daxiangguo Temple on the fifteenth of this month. You must have asked for this amulet, right?"
"That's specially allocated for women. How could I possibly... um..."
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Ji Cheng finally knew to shut up.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
"Didn't you just say that you didn't know what amulets are?" Feng Weiqi asked.
"This...gu..." Ji Cheng was speechless.
"You would subconsciously deny it. There is only one possibility, that is, you don't want to be associated with this amulet. However, the two victims in this case both had amulets. How do you explain it?"
"That's just sophistry."
"You said that I was making up stories, so why don't you explain why you lied?"
"..."
Of course Ji Cheng couldn't explain it.
Just as Feng Weiqi said, he lied just now purely out of self-preservation instinct, without even thinking about how to cover up the lie later.
Feng Weiqi can completely seize this point and pursue Ji Cheng relentlessly. If Ji Cheng cannot explain himself, he can just beat him until he confesses or dies. There will be no problem with this either in terms of procedure or result.
Ji Cheng swallowed his saliva and said, "Why would I harm Miss Lin?"
Do you want to find an excuse to get away with it based on your motives?
Feng Weiqi shouted: "Stop changing the subject!"
Ji Cheng lowered his head and dared not say a word.
At this time, Li Qingcha spoke up: "Maybe I can guess Ji Cheng's criminal psychology."
Ji Cheng asked about the motive, no (×);
Li Qingcha speculated on the motive and said (√).
Feng Weiqi immediately said, "Mr. Siwei, please speak."
"First of all, let me make it clear that Ji Cheng is a fake eunuch."
"If they are eunuchs, then they are eunuchs. Fake eunuchs are... um... what Mr. Siwei meant. Could it be natural eunuchs?"
"No, it's more likely caused by overindulgence."
"..."
No one knew the purpose of Li Qingcha's telling of this matter.
Only Ji Cheng raised his head and looked at Li Qingcha with a look that seemed to tear her into pieces.
Of course Li Qingcha was not afraid and continued to tell the story.
The Ji Cheng in her story is a dandy boy who is inhumane due to excessive indulgence in sexual activities. However, Ji Cheng has a very special identity——
Ji Ji's son.
The purpose for eunuchs to adopt children from others was of course clear, which was to continue the family line for themselves.
It is conceivable how much pressure Ji Cheng is under.
He tried many methods but failed to cure himself. As a result, his mentality gradually became distorted and he began to seek pleasure in unconventional ways.
Hearing this, Gong Lianxue suddenly realized,
Although Ji Cheng was lingering in Qinlou and Chuguan, he had been using the Michun Pill.
Tsk, disgusting!
The girl guessed that the recipe for the Michundan was also stolen by this guy.
Li Qingcha continued, "When Ji Cheng found out that Miss Lin had come to him, he must have felt very... He must have felt that this was a provocation, and even felt angry..."
Suddenly, Li Qingcha stopped and looked at Ji Cheng with cold eyes.
"Do you want me to continue?"
Ji Cheng looked ashen and said nothing.
"Then I will continue." Li Qingcha said.
"Shut up!" Ji Cheng suddenly shouted, "Stop talking! Stop talking!"
Chapter 46 Number Four, You May Not Need to Look for Li Qingcha in the Future
The yamen was filled with a solemn atmosphere, with only mutterings echoing.
"say no more……"
"Stop talking..."
"..."
Ji Cheng's mouth was drooling, and he looked like a madman.
All eyes were focused on him.
Everyone can see that the story Li Qingcha just told is very likely to be true.
