The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 448 Fog
Fan Jin was in a state of confusion. Was the girl who spoke so awkwardly in the afternoon Miss Wang? Was she dead?
What exactly is going on?

Fan Jin couldn't figure it out, but he was talking and laughing with Miss Wang? The people who saw it must have bad eyesight!

"My Lord, I was indeed at the Crescent Moon Pavilion today. I was walking along the river after school and my thoughts were flowing. So I went to the Crescent Moon Pavilion to write. I was writing with great concentration when a girl suddenly came into the pavilion and started talking to me. I didn't know her at all, and I left immediately. It took no more than a cup of tea (ten minutes). Please understand!"

Prefect Cheng then summoned the witness to the court, "The person you saw today was Mr. Fan?"

The woman kowtowed to Prefect Cheng, then glanced at Fan Jin and nodded, saying, "It's this Scholar Fan! I wash clothes under the bridge by the river every day, and Scholar Fan walks by the river every morning and evening. Naturally, I pay more attention to such a handsome and elegant scholar!"
This afternoon, the little woman saw Mr. Fan enter the Crescent Pavilion, writing something with his head down. After a while, a young girl entered the pavilion and sat opposite Mr. Fan. The little woman watched them talking and responding from afar, and the girl was smiling!

The little woman washed only two pieces of clothes. When she looked up again, there was no one in the pavilion. When she finished washing the remaining clothes, she carried them home. When she passed the Crescent Pavilion, she saw that the shore was full of people, saying that someone had died in the river. The little woman took a closer look and saw that the girl who was fished out was the girl I had seen before! "

The elder sister-in-law spoke so clearly that Fan Jin couldn't say that her eyesight was bad.

But I have to clear my name.

"Sir, I really don't know Miss Wang. She suddenly came in and talked to me, and I immediately got up and left. Then I went straight home and continued to write in my study. My book boy, the old servant and the old woman in my house can all testify for me!"

Bafang waited for his young master to finish speaking and then immediately said, "Sir, I can testify that what my young master said is true!"

But the woman said earlier: "You are his servant, so you should speak for your master!"

She cried out to the prefect, "Sir, you must redress the injustice for my daughter! She died tragically!"

"Silence!" Prefect Cheng slammed the gavel to stop the woman from crying.

He also asked the yamen runner to go immediately and bring over the old servant and the old woman that Fan Jin had mentioned.

Soon, the old servant and the maid came, and when the prefect Decheng asked, they told him the story immediately.

Fan Jin entered the house at about the beginning of the evening, and after returning home, he has been studying in the study and has not gone out since...

It takes quarter of an hour (half an hour) to get to Osmanthus Lane from Crescent Moon Pavilion.

According to the results of the autopsy by the coroner, the time of Miss Wang's death was between 4 o'clock in the morning and 5 o'clock in the evening.

In other words, Miss Wang died after Fan Jin left the Crescent Pavilion.

The witness who testified that Fan Jin entered the house around the beginning of the hour of Xu was Fan Jin's servant. How can we know whether his testimony is true?

Even if it was possible, it was also possible that Fan Jin had killed someone and rushed home as quickly as possible, which would make sense...

However, Prefect Cheng had his runners test it repeatedly and found that Captain Cui, who was usually strong and agile, took about two and a half cups of tea (25 minutes) to get from the Crescent Moon Pavilion to Fan's house in Guihua Lane at the fastest speed.

How could Mr. Fan, a scholar who practices fine arts, be faster than Captain Cui, who practices martial arts?
At this time, a resident of Guihua Lane came forward to testify that Mr. Fan would go out for a run every morning, and he could see him running very fast every day.

This testimony shows that Mr. Fan is not a weak scholar. He runs every morning and it is not difficult for him to run faster than Captain Cui.

So, the murderer is Fan Jin?
Fan Jin had a headache, "Sir, my book boy came into the house with me. I can run so fast, but can he?"

Bafang shook his head, "My lord, I can't run fast enough."

Prefect Cheng then asked the witness if the bookboy ran with Mr. Fan every morning. The witness shook his head and said no.

The plaintiff woman shouted again: "The old servant and the old woman are all Mr. Fan's people, they all listen to him. He said that we should come back together, so we should come back together? Who knows, the book boy will go back later!"

Prefect Cheng then asked Fan Jin if there was anyone else who could testify for him and his servant.

Fan Jin shook his head. It was such a coincidence that they didn't meet anyone on their way home.

The main reason was that he had been feeling cold all the way and didn't pay much attention to the girl he met today.

Bafang's mind suddenly became alert and he remembered something.

"Sir, I remember now! When I and the young master were passing the entrance of Maoyan Hutong, there was a boy walking his dog at the entrance of the alley. He saw us!"

Prefect Cheng's face brightened up, and he immediately asked Captain Cui to go to Maoyan Hutong and bring the boy back.

While waiting, Prefect Cheng went to the back to wash his hands, and Fan Jin and others in the hall were also taken by the yamen runners to wash their hands and go to the toilet, and the hall took a short break.

After a moment, the court was resumed.

Prefect Cheng asked the new witness, "Hong Wazi, have you seen these two people this afternoon?"

Hong was about eight or nine years old, old enough to understand things. That was why Prefect Cheng allowed him to attend the court. At his age, what he said counted.

At that moment, Hong Wa looked at Fan Jin and Ba Fang curiously, then at Fan Jin, then at Ba Fang, and finally said to Prefect Cheng in a serious tone, "Sir, I have seen him!"

As he spoke, his fingers were pointing in all directions.

Bafang hurriedly asked, "You saw me, right? And my young master, who was with me, did you see him?"

Hong Wazi shook his head, with a puzzled look on his face, "I only saw you, weren't you walking alone?"

Bafang was anxious, "I was with my young master, you saw me, how could you not see my young master!"

The plaintiff woman jumped out again, "Children won't lie! So, this book boy went back alone, and this scholar Fan killed my daughter and then ran back home first, so that the old servants and the old women in the house can testify that he didn't have the opportunity to kill anyone when he returned home at that time!

Sir, he is the one who killed my daughter, you must be aware of this!"

Bafang was so angry that his cheeks puffed up. He felt anxious and regretful. This Hong Wazi was the witness of what he said. He never expected that what he said in court would be even more unfavorable to the young master!

He couldn't understand why Hong Wazi lied. He saw him, so how could he not see his young master!
Fan Jin was also very confused by all these things. This case was so weird at every turn and was obviously not in his favor.

Is someone deliberately targeting him in secret?

Who is it?

You are targeting the wrong person!

As a scholar who ranked last in the college examination, how could he hinder anyone's path?
