Chapter 130 Deception
Yuan Yuan firmly believes that Yuan Baishan will not do evil.

Nie Mingli pursed his lips. Originally, the matter was not that complicated, but because of Yuan Baishan's words, the matter became more troublesome.

he continued.

"The murdered Mrs. Zhao is Li Zhong's wife. I did send someone to investigate Zhao's relationship. The neighbors all said that his wife is a rare good person."

"Although she is a woman, she is engaged in a small business. The income of the family depends entirely on her, and she takes care of the family well. No one has ever had an affair with her. If there is anyone who is against her, then Only Li Zhong is alone."

"The two of them look harmonious on the outside, but they often quarrel at home, because Mrs. Zhao always thinks that Li Zhong is useless. There were constant spats."

Zhao is good with everyone, only Li Zhong is not good. After getting along for many years, both of them have complaints.

Yuan Yuan's eyebrows twitched slightly. In this way, Li Zhong's suspicion is indeed the biggest.

"Li Zhong is the only suspect now. Coupled with the identification of his mother-in-law's natal family, he has always been at odds with his wife at home, so he has every motive to murder Mrs. Zhao."

"Once Mrs. Zhao dies, Li Zhong will have no one to argue with him, and Mrs. Zhao's business will naturally fall into his hands, which not only frees him from troubles, but also earns money."

"I should have just brought Li Zhong to the Yamen for questioning, but Yuan Baishan...is his alibi witness. He proved that Li Zhong had no time to commit the crime, so he could only bring him back together."

Yuan Yuan listened carefully and replied seriously.

"My third brother is an upright man, and he will never cover up. Since he can testify, then what he said must be true."

Even if that person was Yuan Baishan's best classmate, Yuan Yuan didn't believe that the third brother would cover up a murderer.

Although Nie Mingli is not as good at reading people's hearts as Yuan Yuan is, but if a person is lying or not, as long as he observes carefully, he can tell something tricky from his expression.

He kept observing Yuan Baek-sun when he asked him what to say, and finally he could confirm that either Yuan Baek-sun was not lying, or he was pretending too much.

After hearing Yuan Yuan's words, Nie Mingli chose to believe the former.

"If Yuan Baishan didn't lie, then his testimony can completely remove Li Zhong's suspicion, and even prove that Mrs. Zhao committed suicide, but...it doesn't match the characteristics of Zhao's body after death."

Nie Mingli was silent for a while, and looked straight at Yuan Yuan, everyone knew the truth: "The dead can't tell lies, only the living can."

Yuan Baekshan's testimony is contrary to the facts, which is why he has been trapping the two of them.

He couldn't figure out what the truth was, and he didn't want the woman to die in vain, but if Yuan Baishan insisted on this testimony all the time, then Li Zhong was innocent, and this would become an unsolved case.

Yuan Yuan was unmoved, seeing Nie Mingli's worried expression, she must have been troubled for a long time.

"Can you tell me in detail, my lord, what is the testimony of my third brother?"

This is a teahouse. After talking for so long, Yuan Yuan didn't even refill a cup of tea for Nie Mingli.

The more anxious she is, the less she can panic. Helping the third brother out of this matter as soon as possible is the most important thing.

Yuan Yuan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Nie Mingli, and she also drank a cup to moisten her throat. Nie Mingli has already talked about the case so much, and there are many details about it.

"According to what Li Zhong said, when he went out, Mrs. Zhao was still fine, and then he went out at the time agreed earlier. The person he invited was your brother. There are often gatherings where literati recite poems and compose poems to discuss poems. At that time, there were many other people who gathered together..."

Li Zhong and Yuan Baek Shan attended the literati gathering together, because it was held outdoors, so they found a good time for the weather, but not long after, no one expected that it would suddenly rain from the sky.

Milu Academy was too far away, and the rain kept falling, so Li Zhong invited Yuan Baishan to his home to shelter from the rain.

Yuan Baishan had long planned to visit his home, although today was a bit out of date, but he couldn't resist his kindness.

In this way, Yuan Baishan accompanied Li Zhong back home. Li Zhong wanted his wife to help prepare a change of clothes, but he couldn't find anyone, so the two searched for his wife at home together.

Then, they found the hanged woman in the storage room of the Li family, that is, Li Zhong's wife Zhao.

In the end, Yuan Baishan's testimony became irrefutable evidence.

Because when they discovered Zhao's body together, there was only one person's footprints in front of the storage room, and the footprints were only left after it rained.

During the rainy period, Li Zhong stayed with Yuan Baekshan all the time, so he couldn't go home and strangle his wife to death.

And the footprints of that person can only show that it was Mrs. Zhao who walked into the room alone and hanged himself.

A few days after Zhao's death, it was her natal family who came to the funeral to report the case. Due to the long time, Wu Zuo could not confirm the exact time of death, only the abnormal strangle marks on Zhao's neck.

Nie Mingli was puzzled.

"This matter is definitely strange. If Mrs. Zhao was murdered after entering the storage room, how would the person who murdered her get out? The only row of footprints at the door cannot be explained at all. Besides... Li Zhong also Alibi witness."

Zhao has no other enemies.

The sole suspect has an iron-clad alibi.

A room where no one else comes in or out.

All kinds of phenomena indicated that Mrs. Zhao committed suicide.

But she didn't commit suicide.

If it was Li Zhong who was the only suspect who killed the Zhao family, then how did he do it? It is impossible for him to become a clone, nor will he disappear out of thin air.

"The words of the third brother are really ironclad evidence." Yuan Yuan murmured softly, complaining that Nie Mingli would not let him go. "Could it be buying a murderer?"

Shaking his head and denying: "No, let's not say that Li Zhong's family is poor, and he doesn't have any extra money to buy a murderer. Even if he buys a murderer to kill, how can the killer leave only a row of footprints after entering and coming out? It’s impossible to get to that level.”

Nie Mingli had already guessed about this situation.

He also tested this possibility repeatedly, even his best hidden guards could not leave no trace, let alone other people, so this result was overruled by him.

Yuan Yuan was also silent, no wonder Nie Mingli had a headache, even if she listened, it also gave her a headache.

If it was really Li Zhong who did it, then he was really well-prepared and thoughtful.

After a long time, Yuan Yuan made a sound.

"My third brother can't lie, but...he may be deceived by others. The testimony he said may be the testimony that others want him to tell."

This is to deliberately drag Yuan Baishan into the water, with a very poisonous heart.

"What did others want him to say?" Nie Mingli was thinking about the possibility of Yuan Baishan being misled.
