After rebirth, Bai Yueguang's abandoned wife is soft and unstoppable

Chapter 52 Analysis of the case
Although Qianru didn't quite agree with Master Gu's handling of cases, there was nothing wrong with naming Su Wuzhe as a suspect.

Su Wuzhe is fatuous and vicious, with innocent blood on his hands, such a person should have been severely punished long ago.

Therefore, Qianru tried her best to cooperate with Mr. Gu's questioning, knowing everything without saying anything.

Gu Changming asked for a while, walked up to the recorder thoughtfully, picked up the statement and read it carefully, "Are you sure, more than a year ago, that is, around October in the sixth year of Zhengde, Su Wuzhe took the name of King Luo on the execution ground? In the name of executing An Tai and you?"

"Did I say that?" Qianru was suspicious, she couldn't remember what she said, so she hurriedly corrected her.

After hearing this, Gu Changming said: "In the case of Marquis An Xingdao, Su Wuzhe just obeyed his orders and did not have the power to kill or kill at will. What's more, An Yushi wore an official uniform to show his identity, and Hu Yong, the doctor of the censor, Testify that you are innocent, and he still insists on killing you. Don't you have any doubts?"

Gu Changming's words touched her heart.

However, the review of Antai's case was strongly advocated by King Gui's eldest grandson, and it is very likely that crony disputes were involved.

Therefore, she must be careful, otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

"Anshi, you dare to sue the imperial court, are you still afraid of telling the truth?"

Gu Changming almost caught her weakness.

It is very difficult for Qianru to violate her conscience, after all, the opportunity of overturning the case in Dali Temple is not something that can be obtained randomly.

She nodded and said: "Yes, I suspected it. But you can't just rely on a momentary guess to determine the suspect. I think it might have been Su Wuzhe who killed someone because he was jealous, and I have the same name and surname as the eldest lady of Anhou Mansion. , That's why there was a big misunderstanding!"

"I have also heard about that incident. It is said that Hu Yong sent someone to ask for a letter from Prime Minister Yi, confirming that the daughter of the Marquis of Sin had been buried in Xiaogu Mountain in the south of the city, and that's why Su Wuzhe let you go."

"Yes, exactly."

Gu Changming shook his head and sighed, but he was noncommittal.

That expression made Qianru full of suspicion: Is he implying that my Antai's death is actually related to King Luo?

At this time, Gu Changming ordered someone to pass on Shangguan Yuan.

According to the file more than a year ago, inquire about the situation at the time of the incident.

Shangguan Yuan answered fluently.

"At the beginning of the first month of the seventh year of Zhengde, I escorted Mr. An to Gui County out of friendship. That night we stayed at Mengqiaoyi, and Mr. An slept next to me. It was very cold at night, and I didn't fall asleep all night. About the time the rooster crowed, there was the sound of a horse crowing outside."

Shangguanyuan was a young man who joined the army to fight on the battlefield. He was very vigilant. When he heard Ma Ming, he turned over and went out to investigate with a gun.

At this time, dozens of masked men came over with knives.

Although there were many masked people, but their martial arts skills were not high, he swept them away in two or three strokes.

Therefore, he underestimated the enemy for a while, got drugged, and was plotted against.

When he got up from the pile of corpses, the inn had been burnt down, and Antai had also been buried in the flames.

"Shangguan Yuan, at that time you were General You Xiaowei from the third rank, why did you have to personally protect Antai and go to Guijun? What's the secret behind this?"

"At that time, Lord An promised to betroth his daughter An Qianru to me, so I took advantage of the new year's rest and escorted him to Gui County as a future son-in-law, that's all."

Then another witness came from Gu Changming, Fang Zhenbang, the general of Yiwei Zhonglang.

Fang Zhenbang testified that on the morning of the first day of the seventh year of Zhengde, Shangguan Yuan once asked him, who was on duty in the inner palace, how the emperor planned to deal with Antai.

After getting Fang Zhengbang's testimony, Gu Changming asked Qianru again.

"An Shi, did Shangguan Yuan come to inform you that morning before the imperial edict was delivered? What did he say at that time?"

Qianru has reported the truth.

Fang Zhenbang retorted, "I didn't say that. What I told Shangguan Yuan was that Mr. Hu reported the case to the emperor, and the emperor didn't intend to pursue it. However, King Luo felt that such a disposition would be hard to convince people unless Mr. An could convince others with meritorious deeds." , I suggest that the emperor send him to Gui County for inspection."

"Shangguanyuan, what Fang Zhenbang said is the truth?"

"Yes. The reason why I made up a lie was that a major event had just happened in An's family, and everyone was as frightened as a bird. At that time, the imperial edict was already on the way, and everything was a foregone conclusion. Antai was going to Guijun, leaving behind a pair of weak and helpless children "

Gu Changming interrupted Shangguanyuan and invited Fang Zhenbang out.

Then, he ordered someone to present a piece of evidence from more than a year ago.

A few small bells that were burned and deformed.

Qianru suddenly remembered that when they parted last year, his younger brother Zhixuan had given Antai a string of small bells.

An Tai was very precious at that time, and she held her close to her bosom.

Unexpectedly, this string of small bells would become the only evidence to prove his identity after his death.

Seeing that she knew her, Gu Changming asked Shangguan Yuan again.

"According to the records in the file, when Antai was discovered, he was charred, naked, and his face was hard to recognize. May I ask, how could such a small bell survive?"

After finishing speaking, Gu Changming ordered someone to fetch a pot of charcoal fire, and threw a string of small bells bought in the market into it. After a while, the little jingle bells melted.

"The bell was pressed under the corpse, so a few survived. The local official saw it with his own eyes."

Seeing that Shangguan Yuan was a little excited, Gu Changming said a few words of reassurance, "I'm just doing a routine job. According to the dossier, what you said is consistent with the new statement recorded by Lu Sizhi, so it can be accepted."

After finishing his speech, Gu Changming ordered someone to present another evidence, which was covered with a white cloth, but he didn't know what it was.

"Shangguanyuan, what self-defense weapons did you have on your body when you stayed at Mengqiao Station?"

"I have a gun by my side, and Lord An has a dagger."

"What are the characteristics of that dagger?"

Shangguan Yuan thought for a while, "Master An said that he accidentally picked up that dagger 20 years ago, and it was a criminal evidence of a murder case. The dagger looks ordinary, but there is a word 'Liu' engraved on the knife."

"At the scene of the crime, did you find this dagger?"

Shangguan Yuan shook his head, and was surprised to see the guard remove the white cloth covering the evidence and take out a dagger engraved with the word "Liu".
Gu Changming said that it was brought back by Lu Sizhi from Mengqiao Station.

Half a year ago, there was heavy rain at Mengqiao Station, and a nearby mountain collapsed. The dagger was found together with a female corpse.

Because the location is very close to the post station, less than two miles away, and the case has not been solved yet.

Lu Sizhi checked the relevant files by the way, and accidentally discovered that the date of death of the female corpse was very close to the date of Mrs. An's murder.

Moreover, the dagger was very similar to the one mentioned in Shangguan Yuan's confession, so he brought it back together with the file of the female corpse case.

"So, Mr. Gu, what exactly do you want to explain?"

"Don't worry, General Shangguan. According to the investigation, after the inn was burned, there is no news of a guy.

And you didn't witness Antai's killing with your own eyes, but just relied on a few bells to conclude that the charred body was Antai.

Therefore, this official has reason to suspect that Antai may still be alive.

Or, there are other unknown situations hidden in it. "

After some reasoning by Gu Changming, the case became more complicated.

Qianru faintly felt that the wind was coming, but Shangguanyuan said that Gu Shaoqing was a well-known expert in solving cases, and the case would come to light sooner or later if he tried it.

She only said: "I hope everything is as you said."
