"She is indeed not a murderer."
Cheng Wanwan stood in the yard and spoke calmly.
"Why she was involved in this case is because the people behind it wanted to pour this dirty water on me. She was indeed implicated for no reason."
The woman burst into tears of gratitude: "The little girl is indeed unjust. Thank you Sui Shu for redressing the little girl's injustice!"
The detective had already keenly felt that the Sui Shu in front of him seemed to have a clear understanding of the entire case.
It had only been an hour since the victim's family reported the case to the police. He was still here arduously investigating the cause of death and searching for clues. He was still at a confused stage. How could Sui Shuren clarify the case so quickly? What's the whole story?
Cheng Wanwan said quietly: "Bring the suspect in."
Cheng Jia took the order, walked out, and brought in a man.
If there were people present who were on the dock four days ago, they would definitely recognize this man as the gangster who threw rotten egg and vegetable leaves at Cheng Wanwan that day.
Cheng Jia stepped on the man's shoulder: "Tell me, what did you do!"
The man's nose was bruised and his face was swollen. It was obvious that he had been tortured before he came here. He no longer had the will to resist. He knelt on the ground and said: "Yesterday afternoon, I bought a pack of rat poison at De'an Hall. Last night, I secretly came to Wan's house and poured it into my mouth. It entered Wan Guangyuan's mouth... I was indeed the one who killed the person. Sir, please take me away and put me in jail..."
He would rather go to jail than be tortured by this man again.
On the surface, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and it seemed that he was only slightly injured. Only he knew what he had experienced in the previous quarter of an hour.
It seemed like I had died once, no, I had died countless times, and then I came back to life. I finally came back to life and experienced the feeling of dying again...
He hoped that these government officials would catch him quickly and throw him into prison, so that he could be saved.
The crowd was buzzing.
"Isn't this Huang San'er who hangs out in casinos every day? I thought he could only do petty theft, but I didn't expect that he could kill people!"
"But he has no enmity with Wan Guangyuan, so why kill him?"
"Wan Guangyuan has some money on his hands, maybe he wants to take advantage of the Wan family's property..."
"How could he care about Wanjia's little wealth?" Cheng Wanwan smiled softly, "A few days ago, someone asked him to do something, so he threw dirty water at me on the Yangzhou dock. He said After a few words, the other party gave him five hundred taels of silver. He tasted the sweetness and naturally responded to the request of the person behind him. According to his own account, as long as he killed Wan Guangyuan, the man would give him five thousand taels of silver. , you think, Huang Saner is a little gangster, can he withstand the temptation?"
The crowd took a step back in shock.
Pay murder to kill!
This matter turned out to be more complicated than they imagined!
Lady Wan rushed over and grabbed the young gangster Huang San'er by the collar: "Who told you to kill my man? Tell me! Tell me!"
Huang San'er knelt on the ground and opened his lips, not daring to speak.
Although he had been forced to reveal the person behind it before, it was because he was in too much pain. He could only escape the pain by telling his name... But now with so many people watching, if he said that name again, he was afraid... Afraid of being killed and silenced in prison.
"Let me tell you." Cheng Wanwan's eyes quenched the coldness, "Master He, the sixth-grade general judge of Yangzhou City."
This Master He is called He Tongji, a concubine from the He family in the capital. He was transferred to Yangzhou as an official many years ago. Although he is only a sixth-rank general judge, because the He family is powerful in the capital, he is also in Yangzhou City. The chaos is booming.
When He Ling was humiliated in Dahe Village and left in embarrassment, she knew that the He family would not give up so easily.
In the past two years, there haven't been so many eyes on He Ling, so he designed such a serial drama.
Accuse her of being a murderer, make her lose her title, lose the protection of the court, and then kill her without anyone noticing...
The plan was good, but unfortunately the people who executed it were really bad. There were omissions everywhere, and there was evidence everywhere... If you really wanted to bring her down, you should let the dead men of the He family do the killing. That way , even if she took out the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty, she probably wouldn't be able to pry out any useful information from the dead soldiers' mouths.
Oh, by the way, she remembered. It was said that He Ling broke into Dahe Village with fifty dead soldiers. After the incident reached the capital, countless people started impeachment proceedings. Those dead soldiers had long been punished by the emperor...
"Master He?" Madam Wan opened her lips blankly, "Why did he want to kill my man..."
To the people of Yangzhou City, Lord Tongpan He is more famous than the people of Suishu. Although he is only a sixth-rank person, because of the support of the He family, even the magistrate of Yangzhou treats him with courtesy. The merchants in Yangzhou City treat He The adults are all flattering, but ordinary people like them don't dare to offend them, otherwise they will be left with nothing to eat.
Even if her man was indeed having a romantic affair outside, he didn't offend Mr. He. Why was he murdered...
"I heard that someone poured dirty water on me?"
Outside the crowd, an angry voice sounded.
The police officer and others looked up and saw the Yangzhou magistrate and Tongpan He Tongji walking in one after the other and saluted quickly.
"I wonder who is slandering the imperial officials in the clear day. It turns out to be from Suishu." He Tongji stepped forward with a hypocritical smile on his face and bowed, "I have seen people from Suishu. I have met people from Suishu." After coming to Yangzhou City, he has been busy curing diseases and saving people. Xiaguan wanted to visit but couldn't find a chance. He never expected to meet him here. Xiaguan has always been timid, and he didn't even dare to trample ants to death. Why did he ask Sui to kill someone? Gentlemen, don’t listen to what others say.”
Cheng Wanwan watched his performance quietly.
At present, only Huang Saner is a witness, and no other physical evidence has been found. It is really difficult to convict He Tongji.
However, He Ling's purpose was to ruin her reputation, so she would pay back double the amount of money she was given.
He Tongji raised his foot and kicked the man on the ground: "Tell me, who asked you to slander me? Even Sui Shuren believed it. If you don't explain clearly, I will never let you go!"
Huang San'er was kicked over directly, with his face facing upwards, a look of horror on his face.
At this moment, a knife with a cold light suddenly flew from the sky, hit Huang San'er between the eyebrows, and penetrated deeply.
Huang San'er didn't even have time to scream or even close his eyes before he died.
The policeman was shocked and immediately squatted down to check the injuries: "He's dead..."
The Yangzhou magistrate was furious: "Immediately block the alleys and close the city gates! They killed people and silenced them in broad daylight. You don't even care about me!"
The officers in the yard quickly moved to seal off the scene and track down the murderer.
Cheng Wanwan twitched his lips, He Tongji was so stupid and vicious!
In the absence of physical evidence, no matter what Huang San'er said, he could not be convicted, but he insisted on killing people in public.
He would stir up public opinion, and so would she.
