Chapter 27 Wife Killing Case (5)

Chapter 27 Wife Killing Case (5)

Teng Chong opened his mouth wide, "There are a lot of broken sleeves in Beijing, but I've never heard that Cui Shizi has broken sleeves. Could it be a mistake?"

Yeats asked back: "Will your wife be dissatisfied with holding the scissors and letting your friends go because you entertain them?"

"That won't happen." Teng Chong replied with certainty.

Yeats' expression was cold: "The reason why Mrs. Xiao went to Yazhuyuan was not because she was dissatisfied that her husband was with his friends and neglected him, but because she knew that she was a poor fellow wife."

"..." Teng and Qin were almost surprised.

Cui and Xiao continued to put pressure on Dali Temple. Lu Sicheng interrogated Cui and Min several times in a short period of ten days, and their answers were still the same as before.

The two were studying poetry and paintings together, when Xiao who came over quarreled with them and forced Min Changxian to leave.Cui Changhao had a headache from the quarrel, and out of frustration, he reached out and hit his wife.

Min Changxian saw the husband and wife fighting because of him, so he stretched out his hand to persuade them in embarrassment, but was pushed by Xiao Shi, hit his waist against the corner of the table and was injured. Under the unbearable pain, he left Uncle Rong's mansion to see the doctor. Before he left, he didn't know that Xiao Shi was dead.

Lu Sicheng wiped the sweat from his brow, and said cautiously: "My lord, I have used all available means to get down from office, but the two of them just refuse to admit that they killed Mrs. Xiao, look..."

There are still five days left, which is the time when Dali Temple Minister promised Cui Bohou to release him, and they still can't pry their mouths open. This case is afraid that it will be an unsolved case again.

Pei Jingning looked grave, "Are there any other evidence except scissors and sticks?"

"Yes, my lord." Lu Sicheng replied dejectedly.

Yeats and Teng Chong stood behind Lord Lu, bowed their heads, not daring to breathe.

Pei Jingning looked over, "Yeats—"

Yeats hurriedly took a step forward, cupped his hands and saluted, "My lord..."

"What do you think?"

Teng Chong thought that Yeats would fool Pei Shaoqing, why did he think so, in fact, during these ten days, apart from going to the scene of the crime, Yeats took Qin Dachuan and Yang Fulin to wander around restaurants and restaurants, and he also followed, asking and inquiring had nothing to do with the case.

Unexpectedly, Yeats' answer was surprising.

"Returning to my lord, the process of the case, the small one has almost been explored, and now the most critical point of the case-the motive of committing the crime is still missing, so the case can be closed."

"..." Everyone looked at Yeats in surprise.

"That's right." Pei Jingning's sharp eyebrows were softened by Yeats' answer, and when the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, the sharpness on his face was completely restrained.

He has a clean and clear appearance with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, matched with a slender and tall figure, sitting in an official armchair, he has a natural coldness, looking from afar, he is young and noble.

The expression is gentle and indifferent.

"Yes, my lord."

"What motive?" he asked.

Yeats raised his eyes and grinned, "Please be gentle with me, my lord."

Pei Jingning raised his left eyebrow slightly, "You mean to make it public when Cui and Min are interrogated?"

"Yes, my lord."

Lu Sicheng was in a hurry, "My lord, the next official will go to interrogate the two of you immediately."

Pei Jingning looked at Yeats.

Yeats cupped his hands, "Lord Lu, when Cui and Min are interrogated, there are still some preparations that need to be done in advance."

"Which...?"

While preparing, Dr. Xiao saw that the time agreed between Dali Temple and the Cui family was approaching, but Cui Min and the two still tried to shirk each other and refused to admit that they had killed his daughter. In grief and anger, Dr. Xiao made the daughter who was a concubine in the palace cry in front of the queen, begging the Holy Majesty to uphold justice.

The position of Doctor of Five Classics is not high, but hereditary, whether it is Beijing Central or Imperial Academy, has a wide network of people, as the master of the Six Palaces, the empress is really willing to give Xiao Shangpin this favor, and present the suffering of the Xiao family to Emperor Longqi.

"Cui Shizi is gentle and elegant, full of talent, is it true that the daughter of the Xiao family is going too far?"

Cui Shizi's gentleness and talent are known even to the emperor, so it can be seen that his talent and reputation in Beijing are not in vain.

Sitting opposite Yeats, Zhao Bai talked eloquently, "Can you accuse such a man of reputation and talent of killing his wife?"

"Master Zhao, I can't win the crown if I want to. The facts of the case speak for themselves."

Zhao Bai raised his eyebrows, he was noncommittal, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, showing a bit of sarcasm, "Even if you can produce conclusive evidence to prove that Cui Shizi killed his wife, maybe the Cui family can still say something like a mistake, and do everything possible to make the Xiao family not sue."

Yeats frowned.

"Don't you believe me?" Zhao Bai raised his eyebrows.

Yeats understood what he meant. Among the rich and powerful, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. As long as the interests are deeply and ruthlessly linked, the law and fairness will be in vain.

Yeats lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"Do you still want to enlarge your move?" Zhao Bai asked with a chuckle.

Yeats suddenly raised his eyes, and suddenly realized that Mr. Zhao, who couldn't even fish for three days and hang the net for two days, was actually a difficult character.

She suddenly smiled, "Master Zhao, if I hadn't participated in the investigation of the case, those who didn't understand would have thought you were the suspect, and were worried about being caught out?"

Zhao Bai didn't expect Yeats' reaction. He was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, "I'm afraid that you, a commoner, don't know how deep the water is in your circle. I just want to remind you."

"Then I have to thank Mr. Zhao." Yeats cupped his hands, the smile not reaching his eyes.

Zhao Bai didn't seem to see it, but his smile was much more sincere, "I hope this case will be settled and it won't become an unsolved case."

Seeing that the last day of the detention finally came, Mr. Lu was very nervous. He came to Pei Shaoqing's office ahead of time before the interrogation. "My lord..." saluted very uneasy.

Pei Shaoqing stood up.

Bai Lang leads the way.

Lu Sicheng trotted to keep up.

They went to trial, but the prisoner was brought out.

"My lord, this is..." Lu Sicheng was puzzled.

"Let's go, Lord Lu."

Lu Sicheng moved to Yeats with small steps, "What's going on with Ye Pingshi?"

"I originally wanted to restore the scene in the interrogation room, but Mr. Pei said that we should go directly to the scene of the crime."

"..." Can it still be like this?
After all, the Cui family is the family of the uncle's mansion. For the face of the court, Cui Min and the two were hidden in a luxurious carriage and brought to the uncle's mansion.

The owner of Uncle Rong's mansion and his closest family members all arrived at the scene of the crime, and not only that, they also brought all the relevant personnel of the Xiao family.

A group of people watched the case together.

Pei Jingning stood in front of the crowd with his hands behind his back, "Both Cui and Min said they didn't kill Xiao Shi, so let's use evidence and facts to let you see who killed Xiao Shi, or whether Xiao Shi fell down and died..."

Before he finished speaking, Dr. Xiao choked in front of him, "My lord... my lord...my son's stomach was pierced by scissors, and blood flowed all over the floor. How could he fall to his death?"

Yeats didn't expect that Pei Jingning would say that he fell and died. He always thought that Pei Jingning didn't have a deep understanding of the case, but he didn't expect that he knew far more than he thought.

You know, Mr. Lu's interrogation of the suspect is nothing like this, and she only came to the scene several times to make such a guess, and her guess is still in her mind.

That is to say, Pei Jingning is by no means the seemingly inadvertent superiority he showed, he is a guy with real abilities.

The entire crime scene was silent.Yeats recovered from his contemplation and found that everyone was looking at her.
