Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

Chapter 78 Deadlock

One murder, two suspects.A man who has already pleaded guilty, but with the efforts of the book boy overturned his previous confession, his statement seems very credible.While the other never pleaded guilty, the former had no evidence against him, so he maintained his innocence.

The truth seemed elusive for a while.

After Zhan Zhao listened to Feng Junheng's confession, he couldn't help recalling Alan's series of questions in his mind. At that time, Zhan Zhao once said "Soldiers come to cover up water and earth".But in fact, even Zhan Zhao himself didn't know whether this was an excuse he told Alan, or a comfort to himself.

There was no joy or anger on Baogong's face, but according to Zhanzhao's understanding of his boss, he must not be at peace.

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Junheng, who was kneeling, was still calm and composed, while Bao Gong sighed and said, "Put Feng Junheng in prison first, and we will start the trial at another day."

"My lord, the grass people are not guilty!" Feng Junheng straightened his waist and looked directly at Bao Gong, "Please tell me clearly that this is all framed by Yan Chasan, my lord can't just listen to his one-sided words and arrest a good person by mistake. "

Bao Gong didn't get angry because of this, but just said lightly: "You don't have to worry, what is right and what is wrong, this government has its own judgment. If you are really innocent, then this government will never wrong you." He said Looking at Feng Junheng with a pair of tiger eyes, there was a faint aura of not being angry and arrogant, only to hear Bao Gong said in a deep voice: "However, if you are lucky enough to deceive this government, this government will definitely find out the truth. You can clear?"

"Cao Min understands." Feng Junheng's face remained unchanged, and then knelt down and kowtowed.The yamen on both sides stepped forward and took Feng Junheng away. Before leaving, this man seemed to turn his head back to look at the person who stayed in the house calmly.

Zhan Zhao faintly felt that those eyes were provocative, full of ridicule and disdain.However, the other party looked as usual, and his attitude was respectful and composed, and he couldn't find any faults.

After a while, only Bao Gong, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce were left in the study.The candle was almost burnt out, so the flame flickered.The bright yellow flame sometimes throbbed violently, sometimes curled up into a small ball, and stretched out again after a while.

In the silence, Bao Gong said first: "You have also heard what Feng Junheng said just now."

Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao immediately nodded in agreement.Bao Gong asked, "What do you think?"

"Well," Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment, then said, "If Yan Sheng wants to retract his confession, the fan is an extremely important piece of evidence. However, with this evidence gone, no matter what the truth is, he may not be able to get rid of the murder charge."

Bao Gong looked at Zhan Zhao again.Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, and replied: "If Feng Junheng really killed the person, then the degree of insidiousness and cunning of this person should not be underestimated. If you want him to confess honestly, I'm afraid it will not be an easy task."

"According to the police report from Xiangfu County, since the arrest of Yan Sheng, the garden study has been sealed up after a search. It was not until Yan Sheng confessed that the seal was removed. This happened two days ago." Bao Gong did not To make any comments on the opinions of the two, it is only to state, "The police did not pay attention to whether there was a fan in the pen holder on the desk, and the servants in Liu Hong's house could not prove that Feng Junheng never entered after the seal was removed."

Gongsun Ce said: "Then, the doubts on Feng Junheng's body can't be cleared."

"However, there is no evidence to prove Feng Junheng's murder." Bao Gong sighed softly, "That Yumo is Yan Chasan's school boy. When Yan Chasan is suspected, his testimony cannot be fully counted."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but frowned slightly: "According to your lord, is there no room for change in this case?"

"Then what does Yi Zhan's guard mean?" Bao Gong asked without answering, "You already believe that Yan Sheng is innocent?"

Zhan Zhao was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "This subordinate really believes that Yan Sheng is innocent, and Feng Junheng is the real murderer."

"Just looking at his performance tonight," Bao Gong said, "I'm afraid that Yan Sheng will not be able to refute this person when confronted in court tomorrow."

Gongsun Ce nodded and said: "Indeed. This person's attitude is not in a hurry, as if he had been prepared. If there is no strong evidence to prove Feng Junheng's crime, I am afraid that he will never confess easily, let alone show any flaws. "

"Forget it," Bao Gong waved his hand slightly, "it's too late, you two, go back and rest." But he himself didn't show any intention of going to sleep, it seems that he still wants to think about Yan Chasan and Feng Junheng again of this case.

Gongsun Ce couldn't help worrying and said: "Sir, you should also pay attention to your body. It's not good to be too tired. It's winter now, you should rest earlier."

"This government understands. I have Mr. Gongsun's concern." Bao Gong smiled slightly, and said to his two right-hand men, "Go down, this government has to consider this case again, and we can only be promoted tomorrow."

"Yes." Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce bowed their hands and retreated.The moon was hanging high outside, and it was already midnight. The yamen on duty at night stood silently at various intersections, and the footsteps of the patrol team came from a distance.

Zhan Zhao sighed softly, and walked towards his room.However, halfway through, he couldn't help turning his direction, picking an empty path towards the guest room.I don't know what kind of mood it was that drove Zhan Zhao to avoid anyone he might meet along the way, and sneaked into the courtyard of the guest room without making a sound.

At this time, Ah Lan should have fallen asleep.

Zhan Zhao glanced at the room where the lights had been extinguished, then suddenly jumped up and landed lightly on a big tree in the courtyard.

This sycamore tree is very tall, but the leaves have fallen, so it is not as huge as it looks in summer and autumn.Zhan Zhao picked a clean place, bent his left leg and sat down on the tree trunk, heaving a sigh of relief.

The winter night is silent, only the cold wind is tireless and restless.Sitting on the tree, although Zhan Zhao couldn't overlook the entire Kaifeng Mansion, he could see the whole area nearby.Out of habit, he first confirmed that the guards in the mansion were in normal condition, and then he slowly relaxed.

This seems to be the normal state of his life, Zhan Zhao thought to himself, the previous few months were more like an absurd and uninhibited dream.Before that, there was always one case after another in Kaifeng Mansion, and any weird things could happen in this world.

But it wasn't quite the same now, and the experiences of those few months had completely changed him.Zhan Zhao had to admit that after he came back, he strongly felt this change in himself - at least he couldn't live a good life without taking medicine.

And for the latest case, Zhan Zhao had to spare some of the few medicine bottles left for his work.He has a sense of crisis that such troubles have gradually become a habit. Although the substantial troubles brought to him by becoming a cat have not diminished, the psychological resistance has gradually weakened.

This is not a good thing.Zhan Zhao doesn't want to be a cat, he prefers to be a human.

However, according to Chen Yin's words, if there is no woman who loves him deeply, the curse of becoming a cat cannot be eliminated.The only way is to get those few things together, and then go to Chen Yin.Thinking about it, Zhan Zhao took out the "bitter fruit" from his purse.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Zhan Zhao feels that this bitter fruit seems to be bigger than before, and the color has become lighter.He frowned slightly, and played with the fruit for a while.This fruit should not be an ordinary thing, otherwise, the cause of dust would not make him work so hard to pick it.However, just like the spring water of Chixin Spring, Zhan Zhao couldn't see anything special about this thing.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind on the sleeves of the clothes.Zhan Zhao conveniently stuffed the bitter fruit into his sleeve, then raised his head, and said displeasedly, "Fifth Master, do you really want to step on the wall of Kaifeng Mansion, and turn it over whenever you want?"

"Then Feng Junheng didn't confess." Bai Yutang ignored Zhan Zhao's questioning, just stood lightly on the edge of the wall and said, "I just asked Bao Gong, and he has no way to get Feng Junheng to confess right now."

Zhan Zhao felt dizzy for a while: "Did you run to see Mr. Bao?"

"Yan Chasan is my sworn brother, I know what he is like." Bai Yutang didn't seem to intend to accept Zhan Zhao's words, "It is absolutely impossible for him to kill him, Feng Junheng must be lying."

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly: "Did you tell Master Bao about this?"

Bai Yutang nodded with a straight face.

Zhan Zhao sighed, and said, "Let me guess how your lord answered. Did he say: Human life is at stake, so don't play tricks on it. If there is no evidence, he won't change the sentence easily."

"You do know what he's thinking." Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Don't you think so too?"

Zhan Zhao rolled his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter what I think. The important thing is that the case is now handed over to the Kaifeng government. According to Mr. Bao's character, if you want to reverse the case, you must have witnesses."

"Isn't Yumo's child certified? Isn't that fan physical evidence?" Bai Yutang asked rhetorically.

Zhan Zhao said: "Yu Mo and Yan Chasan are too close, and the fan is not in the study as Yu Mo said, but on Feng Junheng."

"That was Feng Junheng who stole the fan." Bai Yutang's face darkened, "You majestic Southern Xia, don't you even understand this point?"

Zhan Zhao sneered: "I think it's clear. Brother Bai wanted to intervene in the case early in the morning. If that's the case, why didn't you take that fan back earlier, and it made Feng Junheng cheaper?"

"..." Bai Yutang was speechless, where had he experienced such a thing?I only know that Yan Chasan was wronged, but the specific circumstances of the case are not clear. How could he expect that the fan would become an important physical evidence.

Zhan Zhao then sighed and said, "Now that Feng Junheng has shown Master Bao with this fan, it will be useless even if you steal the fan back."

Bai Yutang snorted: "Finth Master is not the kind of thieves." He slightly lowered his eyelids, and said calmly, "It's just that this matter is not difficult. No matter how powerful Feng Junheng is, can he still surpass the one in my hand? A knife?"

"You want to threaten him?" Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows.

Bai Yutang sneered: "Why, Mr. Zhan wants to stop Bai?"

"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao stroked his chin and said, "This is also a solution."

Bai Yutang: "..."

"You go, remember not to get hurt, it's not good for Lord Bao to see it." Zhan Zhao ordered, "Don't say that you came to see me, I don't know anything about it."
