☆、Chapter 13 New Discovery

The letters found were all placed in a small box. In addition to the letters, there were some small objects, handkerchiefs with poems inscribed in them, jewelry, and so on. This small box was turned out from Yuhuan's storage box, and the catcher brought it back directly and gave it to Tang Tianyuan.

All letters are signed by Wei Zitong. Tan Lingyin took the letters one by one and read them one by one, tsk tsk sighed, "As expected, qíng has a deep meaning."

The last letter was eloped by Yoo Qihui, making her wait for Wei Zitong somewhere at some point.

The time and place in the letter basically match the time and place of the incident, which shows that Qi Hui did take the initiative to disguise himself and leave the city that day, in order to elope with Wei Zitong.

Tang Tianyuan instructed the arresting officer to arrest Wei Zitong first, and then he interrogated Yuhuan for the third time. Such important letters were found in Yuhuan's box, which shows Qi Hui's trust in her.

The arraignment went unexpectedly well. With the physical evidence in front, Yuhuan had nothing to say and confessed, admitting that the young lady did have private affairs with Wei Zitong, and that she had been the messenger of the two. This time, Mrs. Bī married Sun Bufan, but the young lady couldn't defeat her parents, so she had to agree to run away with Wei Zi. It was not easy to take away the private messages and items that had been with Wei Zitong before, so the lady asked her to keep it temporarily.

Tang Tianyuan still had that paralyzed face like the King of Hell, and asked, "Why did you hide the truth before?"

"Returning to the lord, since he found out that the young lady was missing, the master knew that it was not good. Let us not mention this matter, even in the face of the county magistrate. He is afraid of ruining the reputation of the young lady. Now that the physical evidence is in front of you, the villain will no longer dare to lie. "

This is a tenable reason. On that day at the county government office, Qi Yuanwai said "Mingjie" on the left and "Mingjie" on the right, and deliberately concealed his daughter's marriage contract for the sake of the so-called Mingjie. It seems that in his mind, fame is more important than his daughter's life.

Not long after the trial of Yuhuan, the police officer came to report that Wei Zitong had been arrested. Tan Lingyin asked Tang Tianyuan, "Sir, are you going to be promoted now, or tomorrow?"

Tang Tianyuan lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the table, he pondered for a while, and said, "The whole thing is very strange. Since we decided to elope, it shows that the two have a deep feeling, and there is no reason to run halfway to break up the gang; with Wei Zitong Qi Hui's feelings, no matter what the reason is, it is impossible to leave her alone in the wild late at night, so that the murderer has an opportunity; Wei Zitong himself has no motive for murder," he said, glanced at Tan Lingyin, "What do you think?"

Tan Lingyin touched her belly, "I think we should have dinner first."

After eating so much at noon, was hungry so soon, Tang Tianyuan glanced at Tan Lingyin's belly and shook his head. Foodie!

Tang Tianyuan was not in a hurry to ascend to the hall, he had to figure out what happened that night. He guessed that Wei Zitong probably didn't connect with Qi Hui, so that everything that happened later could be explained. But since that letter was there, and the time and place were determined, how could they not have met?

After dinner, Tang Tianyuan interrogated Wei Zitong, but Tan Lingyin was still arrested and recorded.

Before Tang Tianyuan could ask, Wei Zitong kowtowed his head and cried, "Sir, I lied that day. My cousin is not all siblings, I have bad thoughts about her. After knowing her death , I have trouble sleeping and eating, please catch the murderer and avenge my cousin!"

Tan Lingyin glanced at Wei Zitong while writing, it seemed that this kid was a sincere person.

Tang Tianyuan nodded calmly and said, "This officer asks you, did you see Qi Hui on the night of the crime? When?"

Wei Zitong shook his head quickly, "No, I haven't seen her. My lord, although I live in Qi Mansion, there are differences between men and women, and I can't easily meet my cousin."

"So you can only communicate by letter?"

Hearing this, Wei Zitong hurriedly said, "No, sir, you misunderstood. Although I like my cousin, we are innocent and have not violated the rules. I have never given her a private letter."

"Look at what this is?" Tang Tianyuan winked, and the yamen on the side hurriedly handed the prepared letter to Wei Zitong.

Wei Zitong's face became extremely ugly when he saw the letter, "This, this is written by me, no no no, this is not written by me..."

Tang Tianyuan slapped the table heavily, "Did you write it!"

"My lord, this word is mine, but I have never written this letter. I am wronged, my lord!"

Tan Lingyin and Tang Tianyuan looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. She turned her head to Wei Zitong and said, "Now write a few words for me to see." Then she handed him the pen and paper.

Wei Zitong wrote two lines according to the words. Because I was too nervous, my hands kept shaking, and the words I wrote were a little crooked. He was very embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to write ugly..."

"It's okay," Tan Lingyin interrupted him with a wave of her hand. Holding the two pieces of paper, she swept her eyes back and forth over the two handwritings several times, and finally put the paper away and said to Tang Tianyuan, "Sir, Yuhuan's letter is forged."

Tang Tianyuan also looked at it again. He felt that although the two handwritings were neat and distorted, they were similar in general and should have come from the same person. So he asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?"

Tan Lingyin raised her eyebrows, "I'm an expert." Seeing that he still didn't quite believe it, she took a pen and wrote a few words on another piece of white paper and showed it to Tang Tianyuan.

Looking at the almost identical handwriting on the letter, Tang Tianyuan was shocked.

"Small tricks," Tan Lingyin patted her chin proudly, "If you give me more time, I can imitate it more closely. Now this is still a little hot."

Genius, this is genius! Tang Tianyuan was very excited, but soon found that the occasion of his excitement was not quite right. He calmed down immediately and asked Wei Zitong to be taken out first, and then asked Tan Lingyin to identify the other letters.

Conclusion: All imitated handwriting.

That is to say, someone pretended to be Wei Zitong and communicated with Qi Hui and tricked her into eloping. Yuhuan must have known and provided help, otherwise that person would not have been able to deceive Qi Hui so easily.

This is the third time that maid has deceived the county magistrate, and she is too cunning.

So who actually wrote this letter?

Tang Tianyuan and Tan Lingyin looked at each other, they had a tacit understanding and said in unison, "Sun Bufan."

No, not necessarily Sun Bufan. Qi Hui is a well-known beauty, there should be many men who admire her, and it may not be that others bought Yuhuan. To determine this person, further evidence is needed, or Yuhuan confesses. It's a pity that Yuhuan is extremely cunning. If there is no hard evidence in front of her, she probably won't tell the truth.

Tang Tianyuan frowned and pondered, his eyes slowly rolled a few times as he pondered, and finally, his eyes stopped on Tan Lingyin's face.

Tan Lingyin felt bad when she saw Tang Tianyuan staring straight at her, "You don't want me to sacrifice my color to induce Sun Bufan to confess?"

"You think too much." Tang Tianyuan said, and took another step closer, facing her face-to-face, and looking down at her.

Tan Lingyin looked back at him. She was so close that she could see clearly, only to realize that the magistrate was really good looking. She was a little nervous, but pretended to be calm, "This... I think, for things like Sun Bufan, you will definitely be more effective than me."

Tang Tianyuan didn't answer, his eyes moved down and landed on her lips.

Tan Lingyin's heart was trembling, "What do you want to gān? If you want to kill or cut, give me a nice word!"

"What would you do if I underestimated you now?" Tang Tianyuan asked suddenly.

"I'll kick you into a eunuch with one kick."

Tang Tianyuan resolutely took a few steps back and looked at her tangled. Seeing that she was holding her head high, he shook his head and sighed, "Tan Lingyin, you are a hooligan."

Tan Lingyin was particularly aggrieved, "You are obviously trying to underestimate me, so how could you be a hooligan? Are you still unreasonable?"

"I don't want to underestimate you, my vision is not that bad... I just want to know if other women are like you, and their first reaction after being underestimated is to kick someone down?"

"No, there aren't many witty girls like me. They'll probably slap, um, slap in the face?"

"Slap." Tang Tianyuan repeated these three words and smiled suddenly.

Tan Lingyin shrank her neck, "Stop laughing, you're panicking. What the hell are you laughing at..."

Tang Tianyuan came back to his senses and tapped Tan Lingyin's head lightly with a folding fan, "I know why Sun Bufan has the same hairstyle as a brothel girl."

"Because he's a pervert, and I know that too."

"No, because he has a wound on his face."

"Eh?"

"He frivolous Qi Hui, Qi Hui's first reaction was to slap him. If his face is only swollen, the swelling will probably go away overnight, but if the skin is cut by a fingernail, it can't be as fast as before, he can only hang down A lock of hair to cover."

Tan Lingyin patted her head, "Yeah, why didn't I think of it. But how do we prove it now? Shall I go and take a look at Sun Bufan's hair? Can he agree? Would he say we molested a good man and beat him up?"

"You can watch it after he is asleep. Tonight, this official will visit Sun Mansion in person at night."

Tan Lingyin patted him on the shoulder, "Go, go early, come back early, just look at your face, don't be frivolous."

Tang Tianyuan clapped her hand away.

That night, Tang Tianyuan really went. Tan Lingyin kept wanting to know the result and couldn't sleep, so she waited at the gate of the county magistrate's courtyard, like a stalker.

When he was finally brought back in the middle of the night, Tan Lingyin hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

"He did have nail scratches on his face. Now it can be basically determined that the frivolous Qihui is Sun Bufan, but this cannot be used as direct evidence of homicide."

"Then what?"

"The trial of Yuhuan is now at night, and the court will sit in court tomorrow."

"But there is no evidence."

"I have a way."

☆、Chapter 14 The truth

Tang Tianyuan didn't like torture confessions very much.

He ordered people to gather the ugliest men in the county office overnight, and ordered them like this for a while. Then, he transferred Yuhuan from the prison to the cell, and went to interrogate her with Tan Lingyin.

Yuhuan was at a loss, and asked in horror, "Sir, the villain has already recruited all, why did you put me in a cell again?"

"I ask you, how did Wei Zitong's letters get to Qi Hui? Can they pass through yours?"

Yuhuan nodded vigorously and said sincerely, "Yes, yes, it is usually the young master Biao who gave me the letter, and I gave it to the young lady."

"Wei Zitong personally sent the letter to you?"

"Yes."

Tang Tianyuan sneered, "This official has already made someone identify it. The handwriting on those letters are all imitations, and they were not written by Wei Zitong himself. How do you explain this?"

Yuhuan lowered his head, thought for a moment and explained, "I don't know, that letter was clearly given to me by Wei Zitong, how can such handwriting be faked, it must be that Wei Zitong killed someone and dared not admit it, so he lied Claiming that the letter was not written by him."

This guy is bold, but his acting skills are poor. Tang Tianyuan shook his head and sighed, "What benefit did that person give you to make you so ignorant of life and death?"

"Little people don't understand what adults mean."

"Don't you understand? Master Tan, tell Miss Yuhuan what kind of punishment should be sentenced in my Daqi for colluding with outsiders and murdering the master."

Tan Lingyin's face was serious, "Intentional murder, you should be sentenced to be sentenced to prison; killing the master is one more crime, and you should be divided into five horses and three tribes. That is to say, not only you die, but your parents, brothers, aunts, aunts, and aunts... all have to die. "
