I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

34 The Moonlight Night

Only one day later, another coffin appeared in Changchun Tower.The guys in the building felt that it was bad luck, so they locked the two coffins in the firewood room in the backyard, and then looked for a suitable time to drag them outside the city for cremation.

Jiang Lin originally arranged for two yamen servants to guard outside the firewood room, but after nightfall, the yamen servants couldn't resist falling asleep, and they closed their eyes after a while.

After the two fell down, there was a crackling sound in the room, and the door was pushed open with a creak.

Just an inch out of the body, the next second, a steel knife was placed across the front of Xiangjiyu's neck.Xiang Jiyu subconsciously threw a handful of incense powder, the masked Bai Yutang tilted his head to avoid it, smiled at her and said, "Girl, where are you going?"

At this time, Xiangjiyu's face was black and dark, his skin was stiff, and when he was not moving, he was almost the same as a corpse, but his bright eyes were fixed on Bai Yutang, obviously he was still alive and kicking, able to walk and move.

"Don't move around." Bai Yutang pressed down the sharp steel knife a little more, mercilessly leaving a line of blood on Xiangjiyu's neck, turned his head to the corner and raised his chin and said, "surname Jiang, you guessed it right, this woman is really pretending to be dead."

Jiang Lin and Zhan Zhao walked from the darkness to the moonlight, guarding the front and back doors respectively.Xie Ling also got out from the corridor, looking at the restrained Xiangjiyu with a complicated expression.

"It's rare to work, all the officials. It's late at night, and I still have a tryst with my concubine." Realizing that he was surrounded by people, Xiang Jiyu no longer struggled, but there was no panic on his face.

"The little girl thought she was good at holding her breath with one hand, and she deliberately took a pill that can stiffen her body..." She looked down at herself for a moment, and felt that there was no flaw, so she looked at Jiang Lindao, "I don't know this Jiang Shaocheng, how did you know that I faked my death?"

"Guess." Jiang Linxin choked, and said to Bai Yutang, "Seal her acupoints first."

After watching too many film and television plots where he lost his chance because of being too wordy, Jiang Lin would definitely not make such a low-level mistake, and would not continue talking until he was guaranteed.

Xiang Jiyu sneered and said, "Why be so wary, the little girl really doesn't know martial arts."

"Facing people with impure goals, you can't be too defensive," Jiang Lin said.

Bai Yutang sealed Xiangjiyu's acupoint, and impatiently said to Jiang Lin, "I'm done holding back all the way, tell me quickly, how did you find out that Xiangjiyu's death was faked?"

Zhan Zhao and Xie Ling also had anticipation in their eyes.Jiang Lin coughed lightly and said, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can see that Xiang Jiyu's behavior is not logical from the beginning to the end, and the motives given will never be tenable."

He turned towards Xiang and said, "For example, when you first identified Bai Yutang as the murderer, Jiang found it strange that the killer of Tuxuetang had left enough traces at the crime scene to implicate Bai Yutang in the murder case." Clues, why would someone like you jump out to testify... don't you think it's unnecessary?"

"If it's simply because you're worried that the evidence isn't enough to convict Bai Yutang, why didn't you continue to bite him after we proved Bai Yutang's innocence, but chose to push the original testimony to us? On Hua Ninghuan's head that I didn't notice at the time?"

Jiang Lin stroked his chin and said, "If Jiang remembers correctly, according to what you said later, you haven't fully confirmed Hua Ninghuan's death at this time, so you should still be on the side of Pei Shilang. Anyway, the testimony is You made it up, why do you mention a person suspected of being killed by Pei Shilang at this time?"

Xiang Jiyu bent her lips with great interest, and said, "To explain my testimony, and to confirm whether Hua Ninghuan is dead or not. Is there any question?"

"That's a good explanation." Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "But, did you really not know that Hua Ninghuan was already dead?"

These words made the back of Zhan Zhao's neck feel cold.

He couldn't help thinking about it along this line of thought. If Ruoxiang Zhiyu knew that Hua Ninghuan was dead, the reason why she wanted to identify Bai Yutang as the murderer in the first place was...

"But in order to make matters worse, and to allow yourself to enter the game smoothly, you have the right to speak..." Jiang Lin said slowly, "You chose to hide the news of Hua Ninghuan's death first, and guided us step by step. Find out the fact that she died."

Xie Ling was still puzzled, and asked: "But Miss Ruoxiang knew that Hua Ninghuan was dead, so why not tell us directly? Why did she make such a big detour?"

Jiang Lin explained: "Have you forgotten? At that time, only Zheng He's body was found in Changchun Building, and the only killer in our field of vision was the Tuxuetang killer. At that time, we only regarded Pei Mansion as a None of the instigators behind the scenes knew that Pei Shilang had been to Changchun Tower that night."

"If Xiang Zhiyu rashly tells us that Pei Shilang killed Hua Ninghuan, if we are also from the Pei family, how will she protect herself?" Jiang Lindao, "Besides, if she just said that she was still missing at the time Hua Ninghuan died the night before, will anyone question why she only thought of reporting to the police at this moment?"

Xie Ling nodded as if realizing something.

"Even when she pretended to die in the end, she didn't say that she saw Pei Shilang murdering with her own eyes. She still left room for herself. She is obviously a cautious person."

Jiang Lin looked at Xiang Zhiyu, who raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "That's because the little girl's third testimony was not false. I did see Pei Haozhu walking out of Hua Ninghuan's room with blood on his clothes."

Jiang Lin's eyes darkened slightly, he didn't say yes or no, Zhan Zhao who was at the side suddenly said, "Then what if the official handling the case is not Jiang Shaocheng, but someone from Pei's residence?"

Jiang Lin replied: "Just because of the nameplate hanging on the door, the responsible officer has to ask who Hua Ninghuan is, right?"

Bai Yutang frowned and said, "You mean to say that the name tag was hung by Xiang Jiyu?"

"That's right." Jiang Lin nodded, "Imagine, after Pei Shilang killed someone, he sent the killer from Treading Hall to deal with the corpse. The latter even knew how to deal with broken porcelain bowls and blood-soaked carpets in the room. Will the nameplate at the door be missed? I'm afraid Hua Ninghuan's original nameplate has been destroyed by the killer long ago, and the signboard hanging on the door is obviously someone else wanted us to see."

This kind of reasoning surprised everyone present, and the other three looked at Xiangji one after another, and from the surprised look of the latter looking at Jiang Lin, it could be seen that Jiang Lin was right again.

Jiang Lin rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Miss Xiangjiyu has buried many clues, no matter which one can lead us to find Hua Ninghuan who was still missing at that time. Even if there was no frame of Bai Yutang, once Hua Ninghuan's body is discovered, so she can jump out to testify at any time?"

Jiang Lin's eyes fell on Xiang Jiyu's face, trying to capture her full reaction when she heard this sentence: "It's also a hard-working girl, it's late at night, and she has to arrange so many things."

Until now, Zhan Zhao felt that the sense of disobedience he had noticed on Xiangjiyu had disappeared a little, but he still had doubts: "Then what is Xiangjiyu's motive for doing this?"

... Is it really revenge for the sisters?Zhan Zhao felt... a little unbelievable.

"Jiang saw that Xiangji's motives and actions did not match at all, so he judged her fake death."

Jiang Lin stared at Xiang Jiyu's eyes, and continued: "If you look at the results, your every move is to drag Pei Shilang into the water. Dare I ask what this person has done? That the girl worked so hard. Revenge so far?"

Xiang Jiyu slightly raised his eyebrows, showed a faint smile, and admitted Jiang Lin's statement: "What did Pei Haozhu do, you might as well check it out... But, it seems that you have already found out a little bit."

These words made Jiang Lin frown slightly.

Bai Yutang was also very dissatisfied with his reserved attitude, saying: "You people always feel that what you do is to uphold justice, and when you are given a chance to be rehabilitated, you refuse to speak out, really..."

It's really a virtue like Wei Heng from before, and I don't know who got used to it.

Xiang Jiyu still had a smile on his face, and said: "I'm rather curious, since the officials have caught me and faked my death, what are they going to do with it?"

Seeing that she didn't pay attention to what he said, Bai Yutang said angrily, "What else can I do? Of course I took you to Dali Temple for torture!"

"But are you sure that if you bring me back to Dali Temple, there will still be judges willing to believe my testimony and convict Pei Haozhu?"

...that's just heartbreaking.

Bai Yutang was even more angry.

With what happened in the courtroom today, he didn't even need to testify in court, Pei Haozhu's connection with Tuxuetang and his conviction were almost certain.

But if they bring back a living message from Xiang, everyone will think that Pei Haozhu is innocent because they doubt her intentions.

Bai Yutang, as a person who witnessed the communication between Pei's residence and Tuxuetang with his own eyes, and suffered yet another slander, was really unwilling to let the other party lightly in this case.

Bai Yutang was so angry that he jumped up and said, "Isn't it all because of you, why don't you just say it? You want to add so much drama to yourself!"

The smile on Xiang Jiyu's face didn't decrease but increased.

She raised her empty hands and negotiated with Jiang Lin: "Let me go. I will leave, go as far as possible, and never appear in front of you again."

"Let's let that message of 'declaring one's will through death' remain in the hearts of all the judges forever, and help you bring the bad guys from Pei Mansion and Tuxue Hall to justice, won't you?"

Xiangjiyu's voice seemed to be bewitching, making one's heart itch.

"I just want to bring the villain in my heart to justice, and I'm not some heinous person... Isn't it the best of both worlds for Jiang Shaocheng to let me go and capture the villain again?"

Xie Ling's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Jiang Lindao: "Young Cheng, I suddenly feel..."

"Impossible." Jiang Lin said firmly, "I won't let you go. You should go to court and explain everything to everyone."

Xiang Jiyu's expression changed slightly.

I just heard Jiang Lin continue: "Besides, do you think that the evil you committed in the process of upholding justice can be regarded as innocent and will not be seen through?"
