"Ah, wait a minute..."
Tian Chunda on the side quickly asked: "Can the detailed time be more precise? It was exactly eleven o'clock when you left the room, so it should be two or three o'clock when you got here. By then, Zhu Wenwu had already arrived Yet?"
"Yes, he's already here. He's standing over here, looking at the lake and smoking."
"So, was there anyone else around when you came up here?"
"This...I didn't pay attention. Because it was quite dark last night, so even if there were other people nearby, I wouldn't be able to see them."
"That's true, then you told Zhu Wenwu about the pocket watch?"
"Yes."
"and after?"
"Zhu Wenwu was very happy when he found out. He also said that he would give the form to Mr. Gu Gong tomorrow and ask Mr. Gu Gong to investigate."
"Where is that breastplate?"
"I gave it to Zhu Wenwu. He seemed to have put it in his vest pocket."
"So, how long have you been talking for approximately?"
"Probably less than five minutes! I don't like to stay alone with Zhu Wenwu in a place like this for too long, so I ended the conversation quickly."
"So, you and Zhu Wenwu broke up at about 11:7 or 8? Who of you left here first?"
"I'm leaving first."
"So, Zhu Wenwu stays here alone? Why does Zhu Wenwu stay here?"
Zhu Shi's cheeks immediately turned red. After a while, she rubbed her handkerchief, shook her head vigorously, and said in a very angry tone: "Zhu Wenwu wants to molest me! When I said goodbye to him, he suddenly Pounced on me...At that time, if Yuan Zhuang hadn't arrived in time, I don't know what kind of insult I would have received. By the way! I think the brooch probably fell at that time."
After Tian Chunda heard this, he immediately asked: "So, Yuan Zhuang has also been here?"
"Yes. Originally, I planned to come here quietly alone, but I didn't expect that I couldn't hide it from his eyes, so he followed me here. But fortunately, he followed me, otherwise..."
"Did Yuan Zhuang do anything to Zhu Wenwu?"
"I don't know the details. Because I was hugged by Zhu Wenwu at that time and could only struggle desperately. Later I heard Zhu Wenwu yell and then fell here. Yes, that's right, this chair was at that time He fell down. After Zhu Wenwu and the chair fell to the ground together, I had the opportunity to take a closer look. It turned out that Yuan Zhuang was standing there, and Zhu Wenwu was kneeling on the ground, cursing some obscene words. Then we started Leave in a hurry."
"So that's it. After that, the murderer came here again, killed Zhu Wenwu, and cut off his head at the same time. By the way! When you left here, did you really not notice anyone else nearby?"
"No, as I said just now, it's dark around here. Besides, I didn't have the intention to pay attention to it at the time..."
"Ah, thank you so much. I did the right thing by calling you here specially..." Tian Chunda said.
Zhu Shi replied, "Nothing," then stood up and prepared to leave. At this time, Tian Chunda suddenly called her again.
"Ah! I'm sorry. I also want to ask you something. Do you think the man wearing the mask is really Zuo Qing or..."
At this time, Zhu Shi's face suddenly turned very pale. She stared at Tian Chunda for a while and then said: "Of course, I believe that person is Zuo Qing; it is really inappropriate for Zhu Wenwu and Xin Youzhi to doubt him. "
In this case, why did Zhu Shi design to take that person's fingerprints?
Although Tian Chunda felt puzzled, he still smiled and said: "Ah! Thank you very much, please go slowly."
Zhu Shi bowed slightly and walked down the observation deck.
After a while, lawyer Gu Gong also came up.
"Ah! You are still here! Mrs. Hong Xiangsong invites everyone to come over."
"Is there a problem?"
"Is such that……"
Lawyer Gu Gong hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Mrs. Hong Xiangsong wants to ask Zuo Qing to put his fingerprints in front of everyone."
*******
There was a violent storm on the lake, and the low-hanging dark clouds gave people a sense of oppression, and the sound of the lake churning was unusual; the black and turbid lake water sometimes created waves, and sometimes formed countless white foam, which was like A storm at sea.
An unknown bird was blown by the strong wind and plunged into the lake like an arrow...
The Hongli Mansion, shrouded in the storm, was filled with a suffocating tense atmosphere.
Hong Li's family gathered in front of Hong Li's photo, and everyone tried their best to suppress the excitement in their hearts.
Masked Zuo Qing and Hong Xiangsong sat side by side. In front of them were the scroll, a piece of white paper, an inkstone, and a writing brush.
Zhu Wenwu's mother, Hong Xiangzhu, had already cried and her eyes were red. She seemed to be in a very bad mental state, but there was still murderous intent in her eyes.
As for Xin Youzhi, his eyes were full of timidity and he was biting his nails from time to time.
Tian Chunda observed the expressions on everyone's faces in sequence, and what interested him the most was Zhu Shi's mood.
Her face was pale, but she didn't say a word. She was a complete frost beauty.
Zhu Shi would take the initiative to collect Zuo Qing's fingerprints, which showed that she was very suspicious of the man wearing the mask, but Zuo Qing was now willing to take his fingerprints, which made her own judgment begin to waver.
But despite this, Zhu Shi's expression was still so calm and beautiful.
At this time, a forensics officer walked into the room, nodded and greeted everyone, and then sat next to Captain Tian Chunda.
"Captain Tian, it's time to start."
Tian Chunda nodded and whispered to him, and Hong Xiangsong immediately announced: "Then, let Zuo Qing get his fingerprints done now! But before that, I have something to say to you..."
Hong Xiangsong coughed lightly and continued: "In fact, last night Zhu Wenwu and Xin Youzhi wanted to force Zuo Qing to put his fingerprints. The reason why I refused to let them do this was because they were too rude. From the beginning, I regarded Zuo Qing as a prisoner, which is hard for me as a mother to accept, so I am absolutely unwilling to compromise in this situation. But now that things have developed like this, I wish that such an unfortunate thing happened to Wenwu, and..."
When Hong Xiangsong said this, he shot his sister Hong Xiangzhu with vicious eyes.
"Although everyone didn't say it, it's not difficult to tell from the expressions on everyone's faces that you probably all thought that Zuo Qing and I killed him. After thinking about it carefully, I feel that this is human nature, so I don't blame you. , not to mention that I also have something wrong with me. Last night, I insisted on not letting Zuo Qing have his fingerprints stamped, which made Zuo Qing even more suspicious. Therefore, this morning I asked everyone to participate in the witness and let Zuo Qing do it in front of everyone. Put your fingerprint on it."
Hong Xiangsong's lengthy speech finally ended. She glanced at everyone and patted Zuo Qing on the shoulder.
