Chapter 67



Chapter 66: Heartbroken’S Daughter 13

The old lady was frightened by the eyes of Xiao Si before her death, afraid that her accomplice who had not been brought out would not stay with other people, and also worried that she would not be able to resist the murderer alone. Not daring to be alone, he bribed a team of yamen to ask for their protection.

It is a normal charge for the yamen to make money in the process of handling the case, and this is not extortion, Wu Taining naturally turned a blind eye, but he did not expect the old lady to be so careful, But still could not escape.

A few yamen took the money and did their best, even the old maid didn’t bother to go to the thatched hut, so she arranged for someone to accompany her.

It was already night, and the lights in Tianxiang Building were bright, but the courtyard was dark.

The old prostitute came back from the toilet and walked in front with a dim lantern. Although the yamen guarded the three steps behind the idea of “taking people’s money and fighting disasters with people”.

I don’t want the boss in front of me to suddenly exclaim: “Blue Butterfly!”

“Don’t come to hook my soul, it’s none of my business-” The old man was so frightened that he screamed and ran back in a panic, and the two of them collided and fell into one in a hurry. group.

The old bustard stepped on the ground in a hurry, but what greeted her was not the ground, but a sharpened wooden stick.

“What a vicious trap.” Wu Taining couldn’t help sighing when he saw the death of the prostitute. He has seen no less than ten people die each year, and the prostitute is considered the most tragic among them.

Ying Lan said: “Her luck is not bad, one blow is fatal.”

.

The prostitute was frightened and stepped into the trap set by the murderer. There was no clue on the body. The two came to the place where the yamen said they saw the ghost of the blue butterfly.

The yamen first saw the ghost with his own eyes, and then saw the tragic death of the prostitute. Still calmly explained everything after one by one.

Several lanterns were lit in the courtyard, and the light was as bright as day, and a little fly ash scattered among the flowers and trees also showed traces.

Wu Taining picked up a piece and smashed it in his hand, and snorted coldly: “Fake a ghost.”

He frowned quickly, although he knew that someone was using ghosts and gods to kill people, but he couldn’t see how it was done.

Ying Lan suddenly walked to a ginkgo tree and looked at the trunk carefully.

“What did Brother Wu Xian see?” Wu Taining’s brows suddenly widened.

“Lord, please take a look.” Ying Lan held the lantern in front of the tree trunk, and the tree, about the size of an adult man’s fist, had very thin traces in half a circle.

“This seems to be strangled by something, is it a rope?” Wu Taining thought for a moment, and quickly overturned this statement, “No, the trace left by the rope is not so thin, is it iron wire? Neither.”

“I think it’s more like kite line, fishing line or something.”

“That’s right!” An idea crossed Wu Taining’s mind, and he ordered his subordinates to search separately. Sure enough, he found the same traces on other trees.

He looked at the second floor of Tianxiang Building and asked, “Where are the three suspects guarding?”

When he got a positive answer, he basically understood the murderer’s tactics in his heart. Wu Taining smiled and said, “Thanks to Wu Xiandi’s carefulness.”

Ying Lan followed the rules of modesty, and Wu Taining walked into the building first: “Follow this official to ask questions.” The others quickly followed behind him.

The screams of the old prostitute cut through the night, and the Tianxiang Building was not like the usual sound of silk and bamboo. Almost everyone in the building heard it, and her panicked shouts also spread out. , Now the people in the building are panicking, and they are quietly saying that the eldest son of Rong and others have been killed by wronged souls.

At this time, seeing all the people from Shuntian Mansion coming in aggressively, the voices of everyone’s discussions suddenly choked, and their eyes are veiled.

Wu Taining didn’t bother to pay attention to them, and went straight to the second floor with his subordinates. Wang Yongyi and others were placed in three private rooms separately, with one person in each room watching, and the yamen guarding them all testified several people He was inside the house from start to finish, and he never left.

Wu Taining was noncommittal, and after checking the three private rooms one by one, he suddenly shouted sharply: “Gao Mingzhi, why did you kill Rong Qi and the other three? Why don’t you hurry up and call for the truth.”

Gao Mingzhi looked horrified: “How did the adults say this? Xiaosheng has no grievances with them, why did you kill them?”

“This officer already knew that you would not easily plead guilty, but unfortunately, what you did has been seen through by this officer.” Wu Taining said, “You claim to be drunk, but in fact you disguised yourself as a woman and killed Rong. Qi, threw the **** clothes from the window to the accomplice Xiaosi afterwards.”

“When Xiaosi takes away the blood clothes and burns them, you change into men’s clothes and hide behind the door, and then smash the vase to invite the two servants of the Rong Mansion to check in, and then take advantage of their panic and shout to attract everyone Mixed into the crowd while onlookers and escaped smoothly.”

“Your analysis is reasonable, Xiaosheng really can’t prove his whereabouts at that time,” Gao Mingzhi smiled bitterly, and said, “But when Ziying was killed, Xiaosheng stayed in the house, a few friends can help I prove it.”

“Several of your friends did see you lying on the couch in front of the window, but they just thought they were seeing you.” Wu Taining said, “This is also thanks to Wu Xiandi’s basis for Your confession restores the situation at that time, otherwise this official was really deceived by you.”

“At that time, the house you were in was lit with lights, it was dark outside, and the place where the couch was located was illuminated by the shadow of a drum. You just need to remove your coat and make a false impression that someone is on the couch. Like, you can go out the window, go to the two rooms apart and kill Ziying.”

“Your remarks are very far-fetched,” Gao Mingzhi defended, “If it’s really as you said, my friend called me halfway through, wouldn’t I immediately help?”

“That’s why you looked like you were drunk and frightened. When someone talked to you a few times before, you were sick and said that you were unwell. As your friend, naturally considerate don’t bother you anymore.”

“The grown-up said it well, and Xiaosheng almost believed it even if he didn’t do it,” Gao Mingzhi said coldly, “But what about the death of the prostitute? I’ve been here all the time. The room has never been left, and the yamen sent by the lord himself has been staring at me.”

“It’s just a trick in the rivers and lakes,” Wu Taining said, “You made a human-shaped paper warbler in advance, painted the outline with fluorite powder, and smeared phosphor powder when the prostitute passed the woods. Let it fly, and when the old bustard was so frightened that he stepped into the trap, the phosphorous powder just ignited spontaneously, and the paper warbler also burned cleanly, but unfortunately there is no wind tonight, but the ashes are left behind.”

“Since there is no wind, how can the paper warbler fly?” Gao Ming knew, “The words of the adults are too far-fetched.”

“You are so careful, how can you pin things on the uncertain wind?” Wu Taining said, “The paper warbler’s action relies on the thin thread you wrapped between the trees in advance. The paper warbler ignited spontaneously, and the thin line was taken back by the organ you designed. Fortunately, Brother Wu Xian reminded me that this official was not deceived by you.”

At this time, a clerk hurried in and presented a roll of fishing line: “Sir, I found it.”

Wu Taining took it in his hand, walked to the window, pointed to the fine marks on the edge of the window, and said, “Gao Mingzhi, what else do you have to say?”

Although he is not as powerful as the Admiral of the Nine Sects, he is also on the list of people, and he is not an unknown person. If your lord wants to condemn me without evidence and no evidence, even if you make trouble in front of the emperor, I will also appeal for injustice.”

“I want to threaten this official when I die,” Wu Taining said solemnly, “This official will convince you.”

“From the death of Rong Qi to the murder of Ziying, this officer has been thinking about one thing, what is the murder weapon?” Seeing that his face was not moving at all, it was a pity that he was also a talent, but he was burdened by hatred.

“The wound on Rong Qi’s body looked like a knife wound, but the autopsy found that the wound was caused by being stabbed and then opened horizontally. The real murder weapon is not a knife, but other slender and sharp objects .”

“Until Xiaosi restrained herself, she discovered that the butterfly hairpin she used was actually a sharpened iron tool. How dare you look at the hairpin on your head with me?”

Gao Mingzhi stood still, Wu Taining did not urge him, and added: “When you kill Rongqi, you have time to change your clothes and clean your hands, and you have never been stained with blood, but it was only half a column of incense time before and after Ziying was killed. , I guess that the clothes you wear inside have bloodstains that will not be cleaned up in the future, do you dare to take off your shirt and let me wait for the test?”

The yamen wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Wu Taining’s wave, and the room was silent for a long time.

Gao Mingzhi suddenly sighed and said: “I heard that Shuntian’s military officials have eyes like torches and a heart like hair, and today Xiaosheng has seen it. I thought I was not missing anything, but I don’t want to be seen by adults long ago, and it also killed Xiao Si’s life.”

He admitted it by saying this, Wu Taining said: “Ashamed and ashamed, today is not the credit of this official, it is all thanks to Wu Xiandi’s repeated reminders.”

Gao Mingzhi looked at Yinglan, who was still a young boy, and smiled bitterly: “I pride myself on being smart, but I’m still no better than a half-year-old child.”
