"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! This servant is willing to recruit! Please, my lord... show mercy!! Woooooo..." Seeing the instruments of torture in the hands of the arrester, Cuizhu's already flustered emotions completely collapsed!

Yang Qingyuan waved his hand, "Stand back for now!"

"Yes!"

"Before you say it, I will say it again. According to the laws of my Great Zhou Dynasty, all slaves who beat their parents will be beheaded. Anyone who commits a crime should be punished with the lightest. It’s an unforgivable crime, and the crime is extremely serious! Think about it clearly, you can’t bear it alone!”

"All servants and servants are recruited, and please be merciful, please be merciful!"

Cuizhu tremblingly lay on the ground, not daring to raise her head.

"Then you invite it truthfully, if you deceive any more, you will immediately push it out and serve it with great punishment!"

That night, the Dali Temple interrogation room was brightly lit, and the case made significant progress overnight.

----

The next morning, Li Xunhuan coincided with Xiumu, and was planning to go to the Qingwu Courtyard to check if any officials had left their posts without authorization during their appointments.

Turning the corner of the street, I found the servants of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion hurrying along with a lot of doctors.

Li Xun Huan heard people nearby talking in low voices.

"what happened?!"

"I do not know?!"

"I heard that there was an accident at the shipping terminal, and many people died!" said an old man with white beard, stroking his long beard.

"Mr. Guo, you are old. If you are well-informed, tell us!" Everyone surrounded Mr. Guo.

Mr. Guo put down the teapot in his hand, "I also heard from my third niece's cousin's sworn elder brother. He is working in the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion! I heard that this is the third day. Some people died, almost 80 people died!"

"How did you die!?"

"I heard that the disease is transmitted from person to person, so be careful!"

……

The censor of Gyeonggi has the power to supervise the government affairs of Gyeonggi, and after hearing the wind, Li Xunhuan listened to the discussion of these people and decided to go to the shipping dock to see the situation.

---------

On the other side, Di Zhiyuan and Yang Qingyuan interrogated Cuizhu overnight, and after confirming that what they said was correct, they escorted Cuizhu back to the cell.

"Zhiyuan deserves to be a master in criminal investigation. This is a good way to startle the snake!" Yang Qingyuan couldn't help admiring, "Wu Zuo really can't confirm the time of Madam Li's death?"

Di Zhiyuan shook his head, "We can only know that Madam died between Si and noon, and the exact time is difficult to determine."

"What about the rouge in the food?"

"The rouge in the food does exist, half-truths and half-false are more convincing!"

Everything that happened last night was nothing more than a bureau set up by Di Zhiyuan and Yang Qingyuan. Yang Qingyuan proposed the concept, and Di Zhiyuan worked out the details, and finally cheated Cuizhu's confession.

According to what Cuizhu said, the instigator of this matter was Li Butler.

A month ago, Steward Li found her, Cui Zhu disagreed at first, but Steward Li forced her to inject a slow poison, if there is no antidote, she will surely die.

Cuizhu was just a maid with little experience, so she had no choice but to agree to Butler Li.

Butler Li also had means. After agreeing, he would take Cuizhu as his concubine and give him 5000 taels of silver.

After coming and going again and again, Cuizhu also wholeheartedly helped Butler Li with things.

Yesterday, Cuizhu was in charge of using medicine to stun his wife in the second floor room in advance, and then brought the maids in the courtyard to start working.

At that time, Steward Li came to visit his wife, and Cuizhu pretended to lead the way up to the second floor where his wife was.

Butler Li and Cuizhu worked together to hang the dazed wife on the beam of the house.During this process, Cuizhu imitated his wife's tone of speech from time to time, creating an illusion in the courtyard that his wife was discussing matters with Butler Li at this time.

It was only time for a cup of tea, and then Butler Li left, and Cui Zhu returned to the courtyard.

This was calculated by Butler Li a long time ago. If it starts from murder to pretending to be a suicide by hanging, and then cleans up the traces in the house, it will take at least half an hour. Now Butler Li only stayed in his wife's room for a cup of tea, which greatly relieved himself. suspected.

At noon, Cui Zhu entered the room with a food box, imitated his wife's speech in the room, and deliberately loudly ordered so that the maids in the courtyard could hear, thinking that his wife was not dead, and then cleaned up the suspicious traces in the room.

In this way, Mrs. Li's death time was successfully delayed.

Before leaving, Cui Zhu deliberately opened the window.

Then Cuizhu took the food box to deliver the food, just to use it as an alibi, Cuizhu deliberately slowed down her walking pace, and it took less than half an hour to go back and forth, and when Cuizhu returned, she and A group of maids stayed together and never left, so successfully became a witness for one of them.

The method of committing the crime is not complicated, it just uses the maid in the courtyard to confuse the time of death.

Although the logic is reasonable, Dali Temple has no evidence. If Cuizhu does not confess today, Dali Temple will still have to spend a lot of effort to investigate.

The case has revealed most of the truth, but Yang Qingyuan always has a feeling of unreality.

This case is already complicated, but there is a layer of truth behind Yang Qingyuan's absolute appearance. For example, who was the person hiding in the dark on the day of reporting the case?Which side does it belong to?Is it relevant to this case?

Who was it that lured Ye Jianhan away that day?Is it purely to provoke the relationship between Dali Temple and Shenhou Mansion?

Another example, why did Steward Li kill Li Bailiang?Which faction does he belong to?

In the vortex of the capital, there are dark waves tumbling, and every move of chess may have his deep meaning!

"Zhiyuan, do you think this case has been solved?" Yang Qingyuan couldn't find the answer, so he could only ask the Bingzhou detective beside him for help.

"Most of it has been broken. As long as we figure out the method and motive of the butler Li Zhong's murder, it will be considered broken!"

From Di Zhiyuan's point of view, the case is almost over.

"Then let me ask a question, who was it that led Jian Han away that day? Why did something happen to Li's residence as soon as they led Jian Han away! Is it a pure coincidence or is it related!?"

As soon as Yang Qingyuan mentioned this matter, Di Zhiyuan raised his heart that had been slowly let go. He was the least believer in coincidences, but now such a coincidence happened right in front of his eyes.

"What do adults think?"

Yang Qingyuan shook his head, "I have an intuition that this case is not that simple, but intuition cannot be used as evidence! Without the support of evidence, a guess can only be a guess!!"

Di Zhiyuan agreed with Yang Qingyuan's point of view. No matter how brilliant the reasoning is, how logical the guessing is, without the support of evidence, it is just a piece of paper!

"Then let's continue to investigate along with the current clues! If there is really something else hidden, it will surely emerge slowly as we investigate."

While speaking, Yang Qingyuan walked back to the desk, and issued a document for the arrest of Li Zhong, the housekeeper of the Li family.

While Yang Qingyuan was writing, a figure pushed the door out!It was Ye Jianhan who was in charge of taking care of Li Afu!
