Cao Bin struggled to smile and said:
"In that case, why am I saying that you surrendered? There is no evidence, so what are you talking about?"
"Under three trees, why can't you ask for anything? If I use torture, I can beat you to the point where you call me daddy. Do you believe it or not?"
Li Tang was so angry that Cao Bin was so angry that he nearly fainted again. He was so frightened that he pinched his own body repeatedly before he regained his composure.
Bao Zheng pondered for a moment and said:
"Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Chao Chao, and Ma Han, each of you will take someone with you to search their homes to see if there are any gold and silver contracts and other items related to the case."
Seeing the four people taking orders and leaving, Cao Bin suddenly became nervous, wondering if Uncle Fu had left any loopholes.
I don't know how long it took before the four of them returned to Kaifeng Mansion. They all shook their heads and said:
"Master Bao, we have found no suspicious evidence."
Hearing this, Cao Bin immediately relaxed and just wanted to give Uncle Fu a big thumbs up, he was so reliable!
The trial of the case has reached this point and has reached a deadlock. Not only have all the witnesses retracted their confessions, but even the physical evidence lacks reliable basis.
Under such circumstances, Bao Zheng could only look for other witnesses.
But most of the people were watching with excitement, and very few people watched the whole incident from beginning to end. How could they remember the details clearly?
Moreover, these people’s words are also confusing, which is far from the actual situation.
Some people even say that Li Jia became a famous knight and had killed Cao Bin for the people.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Later, Bao Zheng repeatedly asked questions, used tricks, explained the pros and cons to the witnesses, and tried to discover Cao Bin's flaws, but all ended in failure.
It's not that Bao Zheng is incompetent, it's just that the case is too simple, and even if you have a lot of strategies, it will be difficult to implement it.
This feeling of knowing who the culprit is but having no evidence is really uncomfortable.
The interrogation lasted from morning to evening, and no one even had time to eat lunch.
The onlookers were a little bored. They came and left, left and came again, and I don’t know how many waves of people changed.
Li Tang lay down on the chair panting, he was too hungry to do anything, and the office workers on duty were also drowsy and listless.
Du Shiniang gently hugged Cao Bin and let him rest against her while watching Bao Zheng question other witnesses.
But his face was close to Cao Bin, and he whispered to him: "Cao Lin, are you still in pain?"
Cao Bin shook his head and said, "It's okay. Stop crying. Your eyes have turned into peaches. If you're blind, I won't want you anymore."
Du Shiniang said: "Then I will die for you, turn into a spirit, and haunt you every day."
At this moment, Bao Zheng suddenly said in shock: "Everyone, take a rest for now!"
When Cao Bin heard this, he suddenly became energetic and said: "Master Bao, aren't the facts clear enough? Why haven't you closed the case yet?"
Bao Zheng said: "There are still doubts about this case. We will interrogate it overnight. You can't leave without permission!"
After saying that, Bao Zheng led the people out of the court. Immediately afterwards, a Yamen servant brought food and medicine and said:
"Master Bao has already given instructions. After you finish your meal, you can rest in the lobby as you like, but you cannot leave."
Cao Bin sighed and said: "It seems that Master Bao has determined that I am the mastermind!"
The yamen servant didn't say anything, put down the food and left.
In the blink of an eye, only Cao and Du were left in the courtroom, and the door of the government office was closed, making it look empty.
Cao Bin opened the food box on the spot and said: "Hey, the food in Kaifeng Mansion is really good, eat quickly..."
Then he took a chopstick and put it into Du Shiniang's mouth.
At this time, Bao Zheng and others had returned to the back office. He sat on the Grand Master's chair and drank a sip of tea before asking Master Gongsun Ce:
"Mr. Gongsun already has a clever plan?"
Gongsun Ce stroked his beard confidently and said, "Didn't Master Bao already guess it?"
Bao Zheng said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Gongsun for reminding me."
Zhan Zhao on the side was a little confused and said: "What are you talking about, sir? Is there any new evidence?"
Bao Zheng and Bao Zheng looked at each other and smiled, then Gongsun Ce said:
"Everyone can see that Cao Bin is the culprit. The difficulty is that we have no evidence."
Zhan Zhao was speechless and thought: Isn't this nonsense? I can see it, but I can't help it!
Gongsun Ce whetted his appetite, and then continued: "I happen to have a skill here, and I will make Cao Bin confess his crime honestly..."
