"Snapped!"
But I heard the sound of alarm bells in the hall.
The people in the hall were majestic and shouted like thunder: "Tao Qing, you dropped eggs from a straight cliff to learn how to throw objects from high altitude, causing Han Lixing's death. Do you agree?"
"Heh, he looks quite similar."
After Tao Qing was shocked for a moment, he started laughing. "But do you think I should admit it? Or would it make this game more interesting if I don't admit it?"
Di Ying, who was in the hall, looked at Tao Qing's appearance and winced.
Leaning back in the chair, Di Ying put his hands on his belly and said leisurely: "Tao Qing, tell me how you killed Han Lixing."
"Killing? Isn't that a serious word to use? This young master..."
Tao Qing, who didn't care, wanted to continue after hearing this sentence, but when he was about to blurt it out, he swallowed it back in time.
Because this: it was what his grandfathers Qian Dingzhu and Wan Zuo had told him.
Such a serious confession cannot be said casually even in a dream. This is the ancestral motto and the family motto.
There are too many secrets in powerful families. Children who grow up in such families will be trained from an early age on how to keep their mouths shut.
Tao Qing sat upright, shook his head and said, "I have never met him, and I have no grudges against him. How can I talk about killing? You have found the wrong murderer. I have never done anything."
"Never done it?"
Di Ying stood up, walked down the high platform, and walked to the position on the right front of Tao Qing. He put his hands behind his hands and looked at him and said, "You like to study things, haven't you discovered that as long as you do something, it will definitely leave traces?"
"Traces? You are right, there are indeed traces. But who can discover such traces? Don't tell me that you discovered it. That is absolutely impossible."
When Tao Qing heard this, he felt that the young man pretending to be an official was getting more and more interesting, and he could even mention traces. Then he answered ambiguously.
Otherwise, if he refuses or admits, he will feel that the game will be boring.
Di Ying looked at Tao Qing and smiled.
He explained with a smile: "County Magistrate Zhang, Jian, and Zhang actually have quite good case-handling abilities. This shows that not all of the yamen cadres in his county are just idle men waiting to die.
As for Han Lixing's case, the officials said they found no clues at the scene, so it's possible that they were telling the truth.
But since the murderer committed murder, how could he not leave any clues?
Therefore, I examined Han Lixing's bones.
There was only one fatal injury: he was hit by a heavy object in the middle of his head.
You don't know what the shape of that scar is, do you?
round. It's pretty standard round.
Around the circular depression, there are fine cracks that were shaken out.
On both sides of the cracks, I found traces of gnawing by ants, insects, and snakes.
Isn't this a bit strange?
Does this mean that there was something left in the crack that interested the little animals?
I have also speculated: Could it be that the murder weapon was contaminated with liquids such as sugar and eggs? Did it cause them to flow in when they touched the top of Han Lixing's hair?
You must understand this truth, right? The reason why the murder weapon is one of the key clues in solving the crime is because it leaves traces.
Whether it's iron filings, rust, or whatever. As long as you touch it, it will stay.
But wouldn’t a weapon that allows juices to flow into wounds be a bit too childish?
Also: According to the officials, there were a lot of eggshells and egg liquid around the scene.
Was the murderer that careless?
Are you really that careless and don't leave any clues at the scene?
I can't understand.
Then I paid attention to the surrounding environment, and naturally saw the cliff over there that was about six to seventy meters high like a knife and an axe.
Only by throwing something from the cliff can one of the necessary conditions for killing be completed.
It's just that although the conditions have been found, there is no way to know who the murderer is.
Until I heard about you and heard that you often use living animals for study purposes, I can basically conclude that you are the person who throws things down from the cliff. "
As he said that, Di Ying moved a step to the side and stood directly in front of Tao Qing, and then said: "You don't know yet, right? After I confirmed this, I arrested the young men and servants who have been following you all year round. , and the trial is completed.
They have confessed: On the second day of the tenth month of the fifth year of the Great Xia calendar, at half past midnight, you threw an egg down on the straight cliff.
Throw them one by one until you hear a scream.
Did you throw it with aim? Hold the egg with one hand, look down at the person, raise your outstretched arm, and then let go.
Is it just to let the eggs fall naturally?
Only then can you measure the data you want, right?
So, can you tell me: Why did you choose Han Li as your target?
Just because he was the only one who would be under that straight cliff every day?
Just because only that straight cliff can meet the conditions for your successful test? So you set up a binding trap in advance where he will stay and rest, trapping him and making him a living target? ! "
"What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Tao Qing's eyes flashed, but he categorically denied it.
He has discovered that this dream is too real, as real as if it were real.
It's just that he doesn't believe that there is any official in the world who dares to interrogate himself.
"I won't play with you anymore, it's boring."
Tao Qing's heart was beating very fast, and he felt very panicked. He didn't want to continue this game anymore.
If it is a dream, then wake up.
He said as he got up and started to walk out.
But all I heard was a voice as majestic as a mountain: "Execution!"
This sound made Tao Qing's legs weak. He fell to his knees, and his knees hit the bluestone surface with a crisp sound.
It hurt so much that Tao Qing let out a cry of pain.
The pain made Tao Qing suddenly wake up: This is not a dream, someone really caught him and put him on trial!
With this thought, Tao Qing broke out in cold sweat.
"Who are you? How dare you interrogate me! Do you know who I am? If you wait, if you wait for me, my grandfather will kill you!"
"I'm Di Ying."
Di Ying looked at Tao Qing, who had instantly become a weakling, and said coldly: "Now, your murderous behavior has been completely exposed, Tao Qing, if you insist on resisting to the end, then I won't mind, Let you have a taste of the effects of the torture instruments above the law hall!"
"Di...Di Ying?"
When Tao Qing heard the name, he thought hard about it, but he didn't remember that he had heard of it before.
Then he gained some confidence and shouted loudly: "You are just a small official, but you dare to torture me? Don't scare me. I am not scared."
Think about your family and your official position. I advise you to let me go, otherwise, your whole family will be buried with you! "
