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

40 to take care of poor night

Jiang Lin had already guessed what this maid named Bai Lu wanted to do.

Before the last recess, from Pei Beiqing's point of view, Xiang Jiyu held Pei Haozhu's personal jade pendant in his hand, and he did not hesitate to drag Pei Shilang into the water with his own death. It was hard for the judges to think that Pei Haozhu was really innocent.

And Pei Beiqing stepped forward at that time and provided an invalid testimony that would not be accepted, which seemed to be adding insult to injury, but was actually delaying Pei Haozhu's time.

So after that, all kinds of rumors about Pei Shilang's case were spread in the capital, which seemed to attract more attention than the previous prefect's murder case. It was obvious that someone in the know—that is, Pei's house—deliberately behind the scenes promote.

Judging from the direction of the rumors, the news that Pei Beiqing wanted to reveal to the masses was that the sisters and brothers in the Pei family had been at odds for a long time and were in the same situation.

Some people even think that this series of cases is the "immortal dance" prepared by Mrs. Pei for Shi Lang Pei, in order to trap Shi Lang Pei for infidelity.After all, Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei had plans to adopt the children of the step-clan under her name a few days ago, and perhaps she had already planned to get rid of Pei Shilang, the concubine younger brother.

The judges who tried the case in court were not deliberately isolated juries, so they were inevitably influenced by these rumors and had doubts about Pei Beiqing's testimony.Under this condition, Pei Beiqing only needs to add a little bit of real evidence to prove Pei Haozhu's innocence, then the latter is likely to be found not guilty.

In the ancient world, where investigative technology was not well developed, such methods of getting rid of crimes were not uncommon.

Jiang Lin remembered that he had seen a poisoning case in the Song Dynasty. The murderer was witnessed poisoning a soft-shelled turtle, and the evidence of buying and selling poison was solid. However, the judge of the case, Fan Chunren, noticed that the deceased did not die violently on the spot after eating. , So he asked the police to check again, and finally found that the murderer actually poisoned the deceased in the house.

Others did not understand why the murderer did this, but Fan Chunren pointed out that the murderer probably wanted to take advantage of the fact that "the deceased never ate soft-shelled turtles" and tried to reverse the case on the grounds of torture during the retrial. *

The Bai Lu sent by Pei Beiqing this time obviously wanted to use the same method to prove Pei Haozhu's innocence.

That's why Jiang Lin wanted to cover up the wound on Bai Lu's body, and teach the other party not to use the misery as an opportunity to retract the confession.

But Bai Lu also came with a mission in mind, even though she was stunned by Jiang Lin's operation for a moment, she still insisted on performing the trick.Only halfway through her testimony that Pei Haozhu had blood on her body, tears fell like broken beads, and her voice became choked.

Zhang Yaozuo immediately expressed surprise: "Why is this girl crying so well, but why is there any grievance?"

"I beg Master Qingtian to be the master of this slave!"

Bai Lu didn't care about her sudden turn, kowtowed to the judges on the seat, and then cried to Pei Haozhu, "Master, I am sorry for your kindness, but Madam issued a death order. The confession is all stringed up. The servant girl has been hit by the scorpion, and it is really unbearable..."

As she spoke, she rolled up her cuffs a little so that everyone could see clearly.Pei Haozhu was no longer as depressed as before, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Zhang Yaozuo and Bai Lu's acting skills taught Jiang Lin that he couldn't bear to look directly at him, but the judges who were affected by the rumors obviously showed an attitude of listening attentively, and the last witness Xiang's message was also full of lies. Tilted a little.

Jiang Lin is not a director, so he is not allowed to shout cards, so he can only grab the scene and pretend to be stupid: "Hey, aren't these punishments for the girl who sneaked out of Pei's house and spread rumors a few days ago? What do you want to use them to explain? "

"It was Aunt Yingqi who lied to you..." Bai Lu was sobbing, but Jiang Lin took the opportunity to cut off the conversation, and said, "Then did you ever tell Mrs. Pei that she was bad to Minister Pei at Dongshikou?"

Bai Lu nodded sullenly, and said: "It is true that Madam has been treating Master badly all the time, and she also wants to unite with many servants to falsely accuse Master..."

"You are so 'loyal' to the master, you don't hesitate to go out of the house to complain, and help him seek justice, why did Mrs. Pei choose you to come to the hall instead of choosing someone else to testify against you?" Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Are you from Pei Shilang or from Mrs. Pei?"

All the judges murmured in their hearts, Bai Lu was slightly overwhelmed by Jiang Lin's aggressive questioning.She panicked and said, "Of course it belongs to the master!"

"Madam chooses slaves because, because slaves are the only personal maids of the lord, who can directly touch the clothes that the lord wears every day... So the lady does not hesitate to threaten the family of the servants, and also wants the servants to come to court to testify..."

"Actually, in fact, there was no blood on the master's body that day, it was all taught by the madam to the slaves!"

Jiang Lin then brought the blood-stained clothes to Bai Lu, and said, "Then this clothes... often Pei Shilang wore it for the first time on the night of the crime, and it is made of silk. The material is easy to wrinkle, so it should be Haven't washed it yet?"

Bai Lu was a little surprised by this question, she nodded hastily, and said impatiently: "The blood on it is actually chicken blood! Madam taught people to forge it! You can smell it carefully, and you can smell the dirty smell on it." ..."

"I know this." Jiang Lin soaked the blanket with chicken blood last time, so he could naturally recognize the same smell on the clothes through the original owner's keen five senses.

"Then you..."

Bai Lu was hesitant about Jiang Lin's calmness, so Jiang Lin continued: "Besides, if this dress hasn't been cleaned in time, there should still be human blood stained on it."

Bai Lu's pupils shrank suddenly, and immediately said: "You, what are you talking about..."

Jiang Lin showed a knowing smile.

"It's a good thing that Pei Shilang's clothes are not easy to wash, and it's also a good thing that you think it's covered with a layer of chicken blood so you can't see the original blood..."

Jiang Lin sent someone to bring up a small basin of water, soak the hem of the dress in it, and said, "But the bloodstain is the last trace left by the victim in the world, and it is far more stubborn than you imagined."

"This basin of water is mixed with white radish juice and salt water, which can quickly dissolve blood stains on clothes..." Jiang Lin hooked his hands at the judges, "Everyone may wish to take a look, after washing off the chicken blood on the surface, will it return to blood? Any other bloodstains?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone became curious. After Fu Yi waved his hand in agreement, the judges gathered around Jiang Lin, wanting to find out.The five rats on the eaves were also aroused, and the five heads crowded lively on the two hollow tiles.

And as the silk entered the water, the uneasiness in Pei Haozhu's heart also drifted away like strands of blood, and cold sweat slid down his back.

Jiang Lin patiently tried various places on the clothes, and everyone's eyes were focused on the small copper basin.Not long after, the surrounding judges let out a soft hiss.

I saw a few long bloody finger marks appearing in the blood that had mostly disappeared!

Everyone's first reaction was - these are the finger marks left on the murderer's body by the victim during his struggle.

Jiang Lin lifted up the clothes, and taught Fu Yi to see clearly.

Fu Yi patted the gavel, and said to Pei Haozhu: "Pei Shilang, please explain why there are such marks on the clothes you only wore on the night of the crime!"

Pei Haozhu seemed to have lost his soul and couldn't answer a single word.

Bai Lu also panicked immediately, and helped him explain: "It may be the marks left by the slaves who accidentally scratched the blood stains when they were making the blood stains. All the officials, please don't..."

Jiang Lin interrupted coldly: "The reason why the radish salt water I use can only clean up the chicken blood on the surface is because the human blood below has remained on the clothes for too long! The blood is not dyed and dried immediately. If it is How could you accidentally stain it with such a sharp color difference?"

"If you want to achieve such an effect, at least one stick of incense must pass between the two layers of blood stains!" Jiang Lin looked at Bai Lu solemnly and said, "And when you forged this physical evidence, what reason would you cause? A time difference of more than a moment? Stop making excuses!"

Seeing that the hope in Pei Haozhu's eyes finally disappeared, Bai Lu's expression became more and more panicked, Jiang Lin took advantage of the victory and chased after him: "Now I will ask you again, you have repeatedly testified, it is really not your wife who ordered you to exonerate your master Is it?"

Bai Lu finally sat down on the ground slumped.

She is done!

Why did she think she was smart enough to propose such a method of falsifying physical evidence to Mrs. Pei?Even if burning the clothes directly will make people feel guilty, it is better than handing over the accurate evidence to Dali Temple!

After Jiang Lin's correction, the judges also saw the true intention of Mrs. Pei in sending this maid to testify.

But at this moment, Jiang Lin put the physical evidence in front of them, which minimized the possibility of Pei Haozhu's exoneration.

"Is my sister trying to kill me!" Pei Haozhu suddenly grabbed Bai Lu's shoulders, his face was full of embarrassment that he had never seen in his life, and his eyes were tearing apart, "The corpse can't be hidden! The physical evidence is not destroyed! She is You didn't want to kill me!"

"Pei Shilang respects himself!"

After all, Bai Lu was still the invited witness. When Jiang Lin called out, several yamen servants rushed up and took Pei Haozhu aside.

"I really didn't kill people! I really didn't kill people!" Pei Shilang probably never looked so embarrassed in his life, he said like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, "I was really drunk that day, and when I woke up, I saw that dancer was killed by someone I cut my throat and fell to the ground... I was so frightened that I ran away, and I don't know the rest..."

He yelled at Bai Lu like crazy: "Chen Jingyue is already dead! I'm back! What else is she dissatisfied with?!"

"Calm down!" Jiang Lin grabbed Pei Haozhu's collar without fear of offending anyone, and reprimanded, "You must pay attention to evidence. According to the testimonials, you two have colluded to play. My son is 'anti-indirect', despising the court and disregarding the law! What position do you have to say that she harmed you?!"

"Didn't she hurt me?!" Pei Haozhu completely lost control, "I knew that she is not my father's biological daughter, and she has never been able to tolerate me!!"
