Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 555 Physical evidence!very curious!

Perhaps the only useful thing is the murder weapon dagger.

And the dagger belongs to Zhou Mansion itself.

Therefore, the murder weapon is useless.

This makes them get nothing all the time.

Now they suddenly heard Qin Wenyuan say that there is physical evidence, how could they not be curious!

Soon, a yamen servant came up.

The yamen servant was carrying a tray with a piece of gray cloth on it, making it impossible to know what was inside.

The yamen servant strode to the front of the court and bowed to Qin Wenyuan: "Lord Qin."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly, and said, "Let colleagues and the common people take a look at what the physical evidence is."

The yamen servant nodded, and then lifted the gray cloth on the tray.

The gray cloth was removed, only then did everyone discover that the trays were filled with fragments of vases.

These fragments are irregular, large and small.

Some of them also have patterns of blue and white porcelain.

There are people who decorate vases in the mansion, and they can tell at a glance that these fragments are fragments of vases.

At the same time, according to the picture scroll, I understand... these fragments, no accident, are the fragments of the vase at the scene of the crime.

"Is this physical evidence?"

"The fragments of the vase... prove anything?"

Everyone was a little confused.

Zhou was also puzzled.

Han Min couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't help asking: "Master Qin, what can this fragment of the vase prove?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Since it is physical evidence, it can certainly prove something."

"As I said before, there is a line of blood between the deceased and the vase. When you look at the blood, it is obvious that something is wrong."

"But the blood line began to appear next to the vase. If the murderer stood where the original vase was, that would make sense. But from the fallen pieces of the vase at the scene, it can be seen that the vase's The location has not changed."

"So, the death of the deceased is somewhat unusual."

Everyone listened to Qin Wenyuan's words, and their faces showed thoughtful expressions.

Qin Wenyuan said: "Since there is something wrong, you should check it carefully."

"In the end, I found these vase fragments!"

As he spoke, he said, "Show the fragments to the adults."

The yamen servant got the order and showed the fragments of the vase to everyone for inspection.

Li Shimin also took one from it.

He checked up and down carefully, then shook his head slightly.

There is nothing special about the fragments of the vase, just the traces of normal smashing.

"Qin Wenyuan, what tricks are you playing?"

Li Shimin was puzzled.

"what?"

But at this time, Fang Xuanling suddenly let out a soft cry.

"This fragment..."

Qin Wenyuan heard Fang Xuanling's whisper, smiled, looked at Fang Xuanling, and said, "Master Fang, did you find anything?"

Fang Xuanling looked at the shard in his hand and said, "This shard has some bump marks, and part of the paint on it has been knocked off."

…………

"is it?"

Changsun Wuji asked curiously, "Why is there no problem with mine?"

"mine too!"

"It seems that the fragments in Mr. Fang's hands are special!"

The officials spoke up one after another.

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Wu Zuo, hand over the murder weapon, the dagger, to Mr. Fang."

Wu Zuo naturally obeyed the order and handed the dagger to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling didn't understand Qin Wenyuan's intention at first.

Then I heard Qin Wenyuan say: "Master Fang, you might as well use the tip of the dagger to touch the place where a pair of fragments collided, maybe you will find something."

…………

Fang Xuanling's eyes flashed.

Hastily put the top of the handle of the dagger towards the fragment.

"This……"

Fang Xuanling's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face!

"what happened?"

Suddenly someone asked curiously.

Fang Xuanling's face was full of surprise, and he said: "Look, the tip of this dagger is exactly... where it collided with the fragment of the vase, and it perfectly corresponds to it!"

"what!?"

Changsun Wuji looked quickly.

"It really corresponds, exactly the same!"

His words shocked everyone.

"How can it be completely matched?"

"This...what the hell is going on here?"

Everyone's exclamation and puzzled voices became one in an instant.

At this time, Fang Xuanling looked at the scene on the scroll, and then at the fragments of the vase that Qin Wenyuan found out on purpose.

Suddenly, he didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes widened!

"Could it be!?"

Fang Xuanling showed shock on his face.

His eyes widened involuntarily, and he looked straight at Qin Wenyuan.

Seeing this, Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Master Fang seems to have thought of it."

Fang Xuanling's expression changed slightly, and he said, "How could this happen, why would he do this?"

Fang Xuanling was surprised.

As for the others, listening to the conversation between Fang Xuanling and Qin Wenyuan at this moment, they only felt that the conversation between the two seemed to be encrypted.

They could understand every word they said.

But those words are connected together, but they don't understand at all.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help wondering: "Master Fang, what riddles are you and Lord Qin talking about? What have you discovered?"

Han Min couldn't help but said, "Yes, Mr. Fang, please don't be fooled. What's going on?"

The other officials also looked at Fang Xuanling and Qin Wenyuan at this moment, and their faces were also puzzled.

Fang Xuanling took a deep breath, he didn't hold back, and said: "You should have seen that the top of the dagger's handle and the area where the fragment of the vase collided exactly corresponded."

"What does this mean?"

"It means that when the crime happened, the tip of the dagger was here!"

"Combined with the blood at the scene, we can judge..."

Fang Xuanling said: "No accident, the situation at that time should be that Zhou Qin put the dagger on the vase, and then he rushed forward with all his strength, and the dagger directly pierced his heart."

"That's why the vase leaves such traces."

"Then, in order to prevent others from discovering this, Zhou Qin deliberately broke the vase before he died. He thought that the vase was broken into countless pieces, and no one would find out what he had done."

"But he didn't expect that Lord Qin is the best at cracking difficult cases... This decisive physical evidence happened to be discovered by Lord Qin!"

Fang Xuanling's words were simply shocking.

It directly stunned everyone.

Changsun Wuji's eyes widened.

Wei Zheng looked surprised.

Even Li Shimin frowned.

And Han Min couldn't help but said: "Master Fang, wait a moment, why don't the officials understand."

"Why do you say that... Zhou Qin, he committed suicide!"

At this time, Qin Wenyuan's voice sounded slowly, and he said calmly, "It's not like, but it is! Zhou Qin committed suicide!"

"The inexplicable bloodstains at the scene, as well as traces of fragments of vases, are sufficient evidence of this.

Han Min was dumbfounded.

He investigated the case for so many days and tried his best to find the murderer, but he didn't expect Zhou Qin to commit suicide!
Unexpectedly, the murderer turned out to be Zhou Qin himself!
This... this is too surprising.

Han Min was dumbfounded, and everyone else had the same idea.

"impossible!"

But at this time, a shrill voice suddenly sounded.

Seeing Zhou with a pale face, he suddenly stood up.

She was shaking all over, and her whole body was full of disbelief.

She said: "False, what you said is all false! How could my son commit suicide! You must have intentionally framed my son in order to exonerate Officer Bai Yan!"

"My son, why are you so pitiful!"

"You're dead, and they framed you as a suicide!"

Zhou rushed to Zhou Qin's corpse, crying while talking.

She doesn't care about the evidence at all.

In her heart, she believed that Bai Yanguan was the murderer.

Even if Qin Wenyuan held the evidence in front of her, she pretended not to see it.

Qin Wenyuan looked at Zhou's unreasonable appearance, sighed, and said, "Do you know why your son did this?"

Dressed gorgeously, Zhou's golden earrings were shaking. She looked at Qin Wenyuan with red eyes, and said, "How would I know? You deliberately exonerated Officer Bai Yan, and you can say whatever you want!"

Qin Wenyuan shook his head and said, "The reason why your son did this is because of you."

"what?"

Zhou was taken aback.

She subconsciously looked at Qin Wenyuan.

The others also looked at Qin Wenyuan suspiciously.

Zhou Qin committed suicide because of the Zhou family?

This...why did Qin Wenyuan say that?

Everyone was puzzled.

Then, they heard Qin Wenyuan say: "Mr. Zhou, do you like precious jewelry, do you live a very luxurious life, do you not like suffering at all?"

Mrs. Zhou froze for a moment, and said a little puzzled, "This...what does this have to do with my son's death?"

Qin Wenyuan continued: "Then do you know...how much is your son's salary?"

"Do you know whether his salary can satisfy your daily luxurious life?"

Qin Wenyuan's questioning sentence by sentence stopped Zhou Shi directly.

Mrs. Zhou stood there, looking at Qin Wenyuan in a daze, thinking about Qin Wenyuan's question, she opened her mouth, but for a long while, she didn't speak.

she does not know!

That's right, she didn't know Zhou Qin's salary, exactly how much it was!

She also doesn't know whether Zhou Qin's salary can satisfy her luxurious life!

She was born in poverty, suffered from having no money when she was young, and was ridiculed by many people.

Therefore, as her son became a high official in the court, her heart suddenly swelled up, and she desperately added to herself what was lacking in the past.

She wears clothes, and she only wears expensive and luxurious clothes, and the fabrics are not good, so she can't even look at them.

She wears gold and silver, and jade pendants never leave her body.

She hated her previous life to the core, so now she is desperately trying to let everyone know that she is no longer who she used to be.

I have a very filial son.

Allow yourself to live a good life!
Zhou's all along, what he has done is to be proud in front of others.

But she never thought about whether her son's salary could be enough for her to squander.

She didn't think about it because she felt that her son was such a big official, and meeting her own needs was nothing at all.

This is what she has always thought subconsciously.

She never thought it was a problem.

But at this moment, Qin Wenyuan suddenly asked her these questions.

This made her suddenly realize, was she thinking wrong?

As soon as this idea came out, Zhou's heart became a little nervous for no reason.

She didn't know how to answer.

She was afraid that if she said the wrong thing, it would affect her dead son.

Zhou, who is usually the most aggressive, suddenly fell silent at this moment.

At this moment, many people noticed something was wrong.

Han Min looked at Mrs. Zhou suspiciously. He knew that Qin Wenyuan had checked Mrs. Zhou's account, and he still asked him to check it.

He didn't think much about it before.

But now, seeing Zhou's reaction, Han Min felt a little enlightened.

As for Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others, let alone, they were so smart that they had noticed the problem earlier.

Qin Wenyuan saw that Mrs. Zhou didn't speak, so he said, "If you don't speak, is it because you don't know, or you don't want to speak?"

Zhou shook her head, but still didn't speak.

Qin Wenyuan said, "Since you don't say it, then I will."

He said, "Han Min."

Jing Zhaoyin and Han Min hurriedly got up and said, "Master Qin."

"The account book I asked you to check, have you checked it?"

Han Min quickly said, "It's been checked."

While speaking, he took out a ledger from his pocket.

He said: "This is the expenditure of the Zhou Mansion, and most of it is the expenditure of Mrs. Zhou."

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her eyes widened involuntarily: "You secretly check the accounts in our mansion!"

Han Min smiled and said: "We are also trying to solve the case as soon as possible, and it is all for your son's case. Madam Zhou please forgive me."

Qin Wenyuan said: "How is the expenditure of Zhou Mansion?"

Han Min said: "The monthly expenditure of the Zhou family is about three hundred guan, of which the daily expenditure, including the servant's salary, is about [-] guan, and the other expenses are for the old lady to buy gold, silver, clothes and other precious items."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Xuanling and the others looked pale.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but said: "Three hundred guan, so many!"

"Mrs. Zhou alone has 280 pens? This... Mr. Han, is your account book real?"

It wasn't that Wei Zheng was shocked, but that his Wei mansion didn't spend a month's worth of money.

The gap is really too big.

Han Min said: "Your Majesty Wei, don't worry, this account book comes from the Zhou Mansion. I think Mrs. Zhou should be aware of her own consumption."

Wei Zheng looked at Mrs. Zhou and said, "Mrs. Zhou, is that so?"

Zhou Shi pursed her lips, but did not speak.

Her acquiescence has already proved everything.

Wei Zheng frowned.

Qin Wenyuan said: "Master Sun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, may I ask how much Zhou Qin's monthly salary is?"

Changsun Wuji was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so he naturally knew the salaries of officials.

He glanced at the Zhou family, and immediately said: "The Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and the country is rich. Your Majesty raised the salaries of all officials a while ago, and according to Zhou Qin's official position, his monthly salary is ten per month. .”

Ten consecutive months!

But Zhou's monthly consumption is 280 guan!
At this moment, everyone understood.

Something is wrong!
So wrong!
How could Zhou Qin's salary meet Zhou's expenses?
