I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 63 The confusing explosion case
  "Ms. Wang, her husband died of illness two years ago. There is no one in her husband's family, so Mrs. Wang returned to her parents' home temporarily."

"His father is the owner of a martial arts gym with more than ten disciples."

"At the time of the incident, the front and back doors of the martial arts hall were closed, and the disciples were practicing martial arts in the backyard. Soon they heard Wang's scream."

"When everyone rushed to check, they saw Wang's disheveled appearance. Master Liang had already taken off his coat and was standing aside."

……

The county magistrate gave Cao An a brief summary of the case, and ordered people to bring tables and chairs and serve tea.

As for the top position of the judge, it is now empty and no one dares to go up.

There was no way. After all, the suspect was the prison chief. Such a big shot should not appear in the county government office at all. Cao An was worried that he was his superior, and the county magistrate did not dare to show his authority.

Fortunately, this case is indeed very simple.

According to what Liang Qifeng said privately, he received a tip that the Widow Wang was the woman raised by Minister Gong outside.

We met once at the market yesterday. Widow Wang claimed that she had a clue and made an appointment for a secret meeting at home today. This led to the scene where Liang Qifeng was not doing business in broad daylight and climbed over the wall to break into the house.

In the room, seeing Ms. Wang lying naked on the bed, Liang Qifeng quickly took off his coat to cover her, and then shook her awake. Unexpectedly, he was mistaken for a lewd thief.

"You clearly have an appointment, but you sleep naked in broad daylight? It's a bit strange! There's something wrong with Mrs. Wang."

[Choose one of three suspects] Open: Cao An, Ying Huorong, Wang.

"Congratulations on the success of [Select One of Three Suspects]. Among the three named, there is a criminal."

Look, let me just say Lord Tisi is innocent. I have always trusted his character.

With the goal in hand, it would be much easier for Cao An to solve the case now.

I glanced at Widow Wang, and I saw that this lady's appearance was quite good, but the important thing was that her front and back were curved, and she looked like she was fertile at first glance. She looked like a pear blossom in the rain, pretending to be quite pitiful.

"Ms. Wang, let me ask you, did you and Mr. Liang meet at the market yesterday?"

"Sir, we have indeed met."

"Then did he mention that he was going to find you today?"

"No, it's just that the girl's hairpin fell off, and I just picked it up for me. I didn't talk about anything else. I didn't expect it to happen today, wuwu~~ He must be coveting the beauty of the girl, please let me make the decision! "

It's so shameless, and I'm not ashamed to say that I covet beauty from my own mouth.

Look at my Lord Tisi, his face was so dark that he turned green. He pointed at the woman and wanted to curse, but he was worried about his identity and almost choked himself to death.

Cao An chuckled: "It seems that you have prepared your words in advance! You are a good quibbler."

"Sir, I don't know what you mean. Do you want officials to protect each other?"

Wang is a very scheming woman. He knows that there are many people in the market and there is no way he can pretend that he has never seen her before.

So he simply mentioned "coveting for beauty", and then raised his voice to incite the people watching, hoping to use the people's gossip to pressure Cao An to handle the case.

"But what I'm waiting for is your sophistry. Since you keep saying that you and Mr. Liang didn't talk about anything yesterday. Then why is the door of the martial arts hall closed today?"

A martial arts gym usually opens its doors to show off its muscles and attract people from the market to learn martial arts and make money.

Isn't closing the door in broad daylight a suicide plan?
  "Who ordered the door to be closed? Stand up for me." Cao An scolded, making all the disciples who were listening nervous.

"It's Senior Brother. I saw that it was Senior Brother who closed the door."

"It's not me, Master ordered me to be detained."

After passing the blame one by one, Wang's father was finally exposed.

The owner looked a little nervous, obviously he had never seen such a big battle before.

Kneeling down in the hall, he trembled and replied: "Sir, I ordered my apprentice to close the door today because... I want to teach a secret skill, yes, a secret skill that cannot be passed on to others."

The excuse is good, but to put it bluntly, the biggest purpose is to create conditions for the Wang family.

Yesterday, Wang made an appointment with Liang Qifeng to meet secretly, and told no one to let outsiders know about it.

So when he went to the martial arts hall today and saw that the door was closed, Liang Qifeng naturally chose to climb over the wall. Then he saw the Wang family in a bad way and successfully hooked up with him.

"Okay, stop making excuses. I'm not calling you out just to hear your excuses. I just want to know how many accomplices there are. Framing a court official is not a small crime! It's better to share it with a few more people. Guilt.”

Cao An's words made the owner tremble with fear, and his daughter's thoughts were severe.

He held his father's hand and faced Cao An: "Sir, are you trying to force us father and daughter into submission?"

"Of course not!" Cao An lifted the hot tea on the table and took a sip.

"I just want to see how determined you are. Now I see that you are desperate! Then I probably understand your motives. Go and find a doctor."

One sentence, like a bolt from the blue, stunned Wang, who was still domineering just now, his legs went weak, and he squatted on the ground.

His father couldn't bear the pressure anymore. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

The sudden change made the people around him unable to react for a moment.

"What's going on? Is the case solved now?" Zhu Xian looked at Cao An in shock. "I just said it's very simple. It doesn't even take a cup of tea."

Cao An put down his tea cup and smiled disdainfully: "A civilian woman who desperately wants to frame the imperial official must have a reason not to retreat."

"What reason?"

"She is pregnant."

Cao An's words made Wang's face turn extremely pale.

What can you get by framing a court official?
  The answer is to get nothing, or even to lose your life.

Even if you win the lawsuit now, for a fourth-grade minister, there are many ways to suppress it. Looking back, you will still suffer.

If this woman dares to plan like this, she must have a back-up plan. If the prediction is correct, it should be: reconciliation.

Take retreat to advance and find a way to stay by Liang Qifeng's side, such as letting Liang Qifeng, who has seen her body, be responsible for taking her home as a concubine or something.

Of course, Liang Qifeng, who was concerned about his face, might agree, but he would never really fall in love with this woman, so he would pay a hundred taels of silver and just call it quits.

"Designability is design. Your approach is still too risky. The reason that forces you to make a desperate move must be the same high profit."

"If I guess correctly, you are anxious to find a father for the child in your belly."

"You deliberately waited for Mr. Liang naked in the room. If he is attracted to you, then of course it is for the best. Everything will fall into place."

"If he is not interested, then you will implement this plan and find a way to stay with Mr. Liang."

"As long as you create an opportunity for one night, you can gain prosperity and wealth with the help of the child in your belly."

Cao An said a few words, and Wang's family was defeated.

Outside the court, the common people who heard all this now began to curse her for being shameless and praised Cao An for his godly handling of the case.

But in fact, this case is not difficult in the first place.

Firstly, it was confirmed through the system that the suspect directed and acted in the film, and secondly, he found out that she was Gong Shilang's woman.

Think about it, what is the identity of Gong Shilang?
  Tuogu's wife was ten times more beautiful than Wang's. Cao An was tempted when he saw her. Why would he care for a widow?
  The most likely thing is that this man used tricks to have an affair with Gong Shilang and became pregnant with him, so...

Boom!
  The top disciple of the martial arts school knelt down: "Why are you so stupid? I told you, I will be responsible for the child in your belly."

Boom!
  The second disciple also knelt down: "It's my fault for not taking good care of you mother and son."

Boom!
  The third disciple collapsed to the ground: "Impossible. Didn't you say that after having sex with me that night, you became pregnant with my child?"

Everyone:...

So, whose child is this?

Forget it, it doesn't matter. As a widow who got pregnant out of wedlock, no one will believe her dirty words now.

"Snapped!"

The gavel exploded in the hands of the magistrate.

"You are a bold and cunning woman who dares to slander the imperial officials. Come here and give her a hard blow!"

Wang's crime was so serious that it was definitely more than just a slap in the face. There would be a lot of jail time in the future. She was so frightened that Wang started crying and begging for mercy.

Ying Huorong couldn't bear it and pulled the corner of Cao An's clothes. Cao An nodded, understanding her thoughts.

He raised his hand to block the punishment.

He looked at Mrs. Wang with a stern look: "I'm not sympathizing with you, I just sympathize with the child in your belly. Now I'll give you a chance to show you the so-called evidence in your hand. You can be considered guilty and meritorious, and you can be exempted from prison if appropriate."

Wang's crime is unforgivable, but fortunately it didn't cause much real harm. If she beat the forty-year-old, even her children would be in danger.

Performing meritorious service is Wang's only way out.

Wang quickly kowtowed and thanked her. Without hesitation, she took out a hairpin from her arms and handed it to Cao An.

"That's it. This is the token given to me by Minister Gong."

"What? Only one hairpin? You..."

Liang Qifeng couldn't help it. He had suffered so much. How could this woman only have one hairpin?
  If I had known he would have...

"Wait a minute, there's something wrong with this hairpin!"

Cao An's eyes narrowed, he took the hairpin and rushed outside the hall to examine it carefully.

Holding the tip of the hairpin with your fingers and raising it above your head, the gentle sunshine shines on the hosta. One side is as clear as crystal, and the other side is as light as fat jade.

"The gem on this hosta is actually...Nanchu earth colored glaze?"

Cao An's expression changed and he shouted behind him: "Quickly, go to Dali Temple Prison for interrogation. I'm afraid Minister Gong is related to the dock explosion."
