Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 196 alibi

The next moment, Su Jizhi withdrew his hand.

Wan Yan found that Yang Zhen had taken two steps back deftly to avoid the adult's surprise attack.

It was dark, and the flickering candlelight of Yicuifang shone on Yang Zhen's face.

The dim light and the white clothes were better than the snow, making her paler by contrast.

Su Jizhi stood beside Wan Yan, smiling at Yang Zhen, "People's instinctive reactions can't fool people, Miss Yang has martial arts skills, so she has the confidence to do jade business, right?"

Wan Yan saw Yang Zhen's hands clenched into fists by his side, "Master Su, I have an alibi."

Walking out of Yicuifang, Su Jizhi looked serious.

"My lord, Yang Zhen has a problem!" Wan Yan said anxiously.

"She's too impatient, Wan Yan, draw a portrait of Yang Zhen right away, and let Miao Hong and Nie Fang take it to Yushitai's house and Boss Wu's courtyard respectively, so that the thief and Wufu's servant can identify it. The person the thieves saw at the alley that night, the woman who appeared in Boss Wu's other courtyard, is it Yang Zhen?"

"Yang Zhen killed Boss Wu?"

Su Jizhi smiled, "Your thoughts turn faster, let them identify it first, I will talk to Zhang Yujiang, why did he lie or..." Su Jizhi thought, "I have to investigate Yang Zhen carefully. .”

Hai time.

The meeting hall of Dali Temple.

The candlelight danced and reflected on the faces of the four people.

When Miao Hong and Nie Fang finished reporting their investigation results, Su Jizhi calmly reconfirmed as if he had foreseen the result, "They are sure to appear in the other courtyard of Wufu Mountain, and the person talking to Zhang Yujiang in the alley is Yang Zhen?"

Miao Hong and Nie Fang still held the portrait of Yang Zhen in their hands.

The two looked at Wan Yan at the same time and nodded, "Wan Yan's portrait is so good, we haven't seen Yang Zhen before, but these two people said in unison that that woman is her."

Miao Hong asked curiously, "How does your lord know this Yang Zhen?"

"It's a long story. Stone gambling is popular in the capital recently. It was Yang Zhen who started the trend, and this woman wants to annex Boss Wu's Yuyuantang."

"She killed Wu Fushan?" Miao Hong couldn't believe it.

"My lord, what did Zhang Yujiang say?" Wan Yan and Miao Hong asked questions one after another.

"It's still the same thing, he doesn't know anything."

"My lord, you didn't question him? Someone saw him talking to Yang Zhen in the alley on the night of the crime, why did he lie? Did he say he didn't go out that night?" Wan Yan asked.

"As you can guess, he said he was old and forgot, and he confirmed that he went out that night."

"Forgot? He was talking nonsense again. At that time, Yang Zhen was going to hurt someone, but he stopped him so nothing happened. How could he say he forgot?"

"That's right, what excuse did he use to cover up such a big lie?" Su Jizhi sneered.

"What about Yang Zhen? Since Zhang Yujiang doesn't admit it, how can he explain who Yang Zhen is? Why did he meet him late at night?" Miao Hong asked.

"Zhang Yujiang said that the woman who met him that night was a customer who hammered jade two days ago, and suddenly remembered that there was something that needed to be changed in the hairpin, so she came to him."

Wan Yan snorted coldly, "Lord Su, he is lying. According to the rules of Yuyuanfang, the door was locked before and after that time. How could Yang Zhen find him?"

Su Jizhi thought about it, and turned to Miao Hong, "I can't connect to the timeline, we have to go to Yicuifang to find out. When we left Yicuifang, Yang Zhen said it was three o'clock in Xushi."

"When will Yang Zhen and Zhang Yujiang meet?" Nie Fang asked.

"Haishi quarter." Su Jizhi rubbed his chin, "Wu Fushan died at Xushi, according to this timeline..."

Su Jizhi was thinking.

Wan Yan asked: "Your Excellency has determined that Yang Zhen was the murderer of Wu Fushan?"

"According to the existing clues, Yang Zhen has the biggest motive, and I have tried her, she has kung fu."

Miao Hong and Nie Fang looked at Wan Yan at the same time.

The little girl walked to the map of the capital, quickly found the location of Yicuifang, and said softly, "My lord, the day we went to Yicuifang was accidental, if Yang Zhen had planned to kill Wu Fushan, she should have taken care of her misfortune a long time ago." Proof of presence."

Wan Yan picked up a pen and lightly drew a line between Yicuifang and the stone house where Wufushan was killed.

"My lord, there is only one street between these two places. It is very likely that Yang Zhen will appear in Yicuifang first, let everyone see her, then go to kill people, and then return to Yicuifang, giving everyone the illusion that she is not there. "

"It is true that the distance between the two places is not far. If Yang Zhen calculates the time well, he will have enough time to commit crimes."

"My lord, the opening of the original stone was arranged by Yang Zhen, so where to invite everyone to see the original stone is completely under Yang Zhen's control. The location of Yicui Fang may be deliberately arranged by Yang Zhen."

Thinking about it this way, the possibility of Yang Zhen committing the crime is increasing.

"My mind was on the original stone that night, but my lord observed Yang Zhen for a long time. Think again, my lord, has Yang Zhen been in Yicuifang all this time?"

Su Jizhi closed his eyes and shook his head for a while, "She circled around the rough stone we unearthed for a while, and then I didn't see her again until she ran into us and came out from the inner hall."

"My lord, looking back on that night now, don't you think Yang Zhen was a bit deliberate in saying the three o'clock in Xu time?"

Thinking of Yang Zhen's eye-catching red dress, Wan Yan suddenly thought, "My lord, if Yang is really a murderer, she came back from a murder when she appeared in front of us. Could her red dress be to cover up the bloodstains?"

Wan Yan felt a little regretful, "There were too many people that day, I wish I could get closer to her seriously." The little girl meant that she missed the chance to smell the blood on Yang Zhen's body.

"My lord, why don't I go to see her tomorrow and take the opportunity to borrow that red dress? If Yang Zhen refuses, then it's more true that she has a problem."

"That's too risky. I'm going to test her today. She should be more or less alert. I just don't understand how she got involved with Zhang Yujiang. Nie Fang, how is your investigation going?"

Only now did Nie Fang have the opportunity to report his investigation results today, "Master Su, I have inquired about the mine where Qi Wancai works. One reason is that he has a relationship with a man named Xiong Baoyue."

Another person was involved in the case, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"After returning from the mine, I went to the Jingzhao Mansion to get information about Xiong Baoyue. He fell off a cliff two years ago and died."

A strange atmosphere enveloped everyone's hearts, and Wan Yan unconsciously walked to Su Jizhi's side.

"Did Xiong Baoyue stumble and fall off a cliff? Are there records in the Jingzhao Mansion?"

Nie Fang handed the dossier to Su Jizhi, "Qi Wancai and Xiong Baoyue are fellow villagers. They have been working in the mine at the same time for more than ten years, and Xiong Baoyue's reputation is not good, so he fell off the cliff and no one will be held accountable by the government. deal with."

The dossier was thin, so Su Jizhi opened it and passed it to Miao Hong and Wan Yan.

However, the words "Anshi Jade Mine" lingered in Su Jizhi's mind. Where had he heard of this name?

Nie Fang continued, "Because the place where Xiong Baoyue fell off the cliff is not far from the jade mine, Qi Wancai threatened that Xiong Baoyue fell while working, so the foreman didn't say anything, let Qi Wancai hang out in the mine all these years, everyone Just turn a blind eye."

It turned out to be the case.

"Do you feel that there is something unclear between Wu Fushan and Qi Wancai?" Su Jizhi asked for a while, looking at the crowd.

Under the shade of the candlelight, the four of them looked exhausted, and the eager hope to solve the case was shining in their eyes.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the window...
