Chapter Eighty-Six: Overnight Trial (Part 1)

Not long after, Li Cheng arrived.

He looked at Thirteen Lady Cheng who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word, his handsome face became ugly, his brows were tightly knit, but he still said very responsibly, "I'll look at the dead first."

As he spoke, he knelt down and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.

Just as Qiao Songyu wanted to see it, a big warm hand covered his eyes, and Pei Rongbai's faint voice came from above his head:

"Don't look."

Qiao Songyu blushed suddenly - there are so many people around!Is this action too ambiguous?He turned his face slightly, took Pei Rongbai's hand, and took it off, but his eyes no longer looked at Li Cheng.He whispered: "Is the corpse scary?"

Pei Rongbai let out a "hmm", and then added: "You will leave a psychological shadow after watching it, and you will be afraid at night."

"I'm not that timid." Qiao Songyu muttered.

Pei Rongbai who was at the top glanced at him, and slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Well, Song'er is very courageous."

Qiao Songyu was about to say something when Li Cheng who was not far away said:

"My lord, the fatal wound of the deceased was not the knife in the chest. She was strangled first and then stabbed."

"Why do you say that?" Fu Sheng asked.

"Because the deceased was still alive when the murderer stabbed the knife, a lot of blood was bound to be spurted out by the knife, but I went to the scene just now and also looked at the wound of the deceased, and found that the wound of the deceased did not bleed much, and the neck bone of the deceased was bruised.Strangled, tongue against palate, blood spots in eyes, clearly consistent with being strangled."

Li Cheng's voice came over calmly, Qiao Songyu listened, and for some reason, she was slightly relieved.

"That is to say, this knife was stabbed after death?" Fu Sheng asked.

"Yes." Li Cheng replied firmly.

"I understand." Fu Sheng said, turned to Pei Rongbai, and said, "Lord Prime Minister, this matter involves the police from our house, and since the suspect is here, please ask Lord Prime Minister to interrogate himself."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Songyu raised her head to look at Pei Rongbai, and saw Pei Rongbai frowned slightly, and said:

"Of course there is no problem with my trial. It's just that Qiao Yushi has read the files many times and is more familiar with this case than I am. I believe it would be better for him to interrogate."

Qiao Songyu was taken aback for a moment, and then she understood - Pei Rongbai wanted to train her second brother!He looked at Qiao Zeyu, Qiao Zeyu and Pei Rongbai looked at each other, seemed to understand his intention, nodded and said:

"Then my deference is no substitute for obedience."

"Please."

"Please."

It should be the first time in Yangcheng that the Yangcheng Mansion has been promoted overnight. Although the night is already deep, the common people have no intention of leaving.They have also been frightened for a long time, and they all want to find out.

"Silence!" Qiao Zeyu gave a start. Although he had never worn an official uniform, the serious expression on his handsome and gentle face did not affect his majesty in the slightest. "The suspect, Thirteen Lady Cheng, let me ask you, the dead person lying on the ground,But you killed it?"

Thirteen Lady Cheng lowered her head, as if she had no intention of answering.

"Crack!" Qiao Zeyu slapped the gavel again, and shouted, "Thirteen Lady Cheng, I will ask you again, did you kill the person? There are five people in total, did you kill them?!"

Thirteen Lady Cheng just woke up from a big dream, slowly raised her head, showing a tired face: "No..."

"Since you didn't kill it, why did you appear next to the corpse? Still holding the belt that strangled the dead in your hand? How did your knife get stained with the dead's blood?"

Thirteen Lady Cheng seemed to have thought of something, with a bit of doubt on her face, she said: "I don't know... I was watching the night at the time, and I found a white shadow sneaking around. When I rushed over, I found someoneHe fell to the ground. He was already dead. At that time, I was holding a knife in one hand. When I squatted down to inspect it, I didn’t know where there was an extremely strong force hitting my knife. As soon as I let go, the knife fell into a pool of blood.I was stained with the blood of the dead... Just as I was in doubt, someone rushed over. I was holding the belt around the neck of the dead, and I was squatting beside the dead body. They all thought it wasThe person I killed..."

After she finished speaking, the surrounding people booed, as if they did not approve of her words, and some even shouted:

"Nonsense, how could it be such a coincidence, you made it up yourself!"

"That's right! How can there be any force to hit your knife, and it still falls into the blood. You are clearly making up and trying to get rid of the crime!"

Seeing the people in a mess, Qiao Songyu quickly looked at her second brother to see how he would deal with it.

"Quiet!" Qiao Zeyu scolded, then asked, "Who was the first to see Thirteen Lady Cheng next to the corpse?"

"it's me!"

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a young pampered young master, who looked quite gentle, but his temperament was very romantic, and his eyes showed a little cynical taste.He came out from the crowd, bowed to Qiao Zeyu, and said:

"It's me, the student."

Qiao Zeyu felt displeased when he saw that his behavior was a bit dissolute. He was just trying a case, so he said patiently, "Who are you? Why are you still wandering outside so late?"

"The student's name is He Hua, and he's from Yang City." Then He Hua said, smiling, "As for why he's still outside so late, it's because he came out to drink flower wine at night! The oiran from Yihualou came out todaySee you, I made an appointment with a group of friends to see it together."

Qiao Zeyu frowned more tightly: "Then how did you see Thirteen Lady Cheng, and what you saw at that time, tell me all about it!"

"Yes." He Hua nodded, opened the paper fan in his hand again, and said happily while fanning, "My friends and I originally wanted to join in the fun and order an oiran to sing us a song.A mysterious person hired the oiran. We were so disappointed that we had to drink a few drinks and then came back. At that time, another friend Liu San and I separated at the entrance of Guan'er Lane. I walked to Fangzheng Bridge, and he went to Tianping Street., I walked a few steps, and saw a person squatting not far away, I took a closer look, oh, isn’t that a female police officer in our city? This Thirteen Lady is usually very fierce, I dare not follow himShe was talking to her, and I was a little bit drunk just now, so I boldly stepped forward and wanted to talk to her, but who knew that after a few steps, I saw a man lying next to her, covered in blood, holding a knife in her hand.Wearing a belt, his face was quite ugly, and he looked like he was going to kill someone. I was so scared that I started screaming? As soon as I called out, the surrounding villagers all came out, and the process was like this..."
