Chapter 455 Evidence
Zhou Bingwen bowed and said, "Your Excellency, yes, please summon Hong Wazi and his dog to the hall."

Should the clue be with this Hong Wazi?

In fact, Prefect Cheng was also curious about this. Yesterday, Fan Jin's servant swore that Hong Wazi was here to testify, but when Hong Wazi came to court, he said that he only saw the servant, which proved that the servant was lying.

In fact, to be honest, if Hong Wazi really didn't see it, the servant boy wouldn't be so stupid as to name the person as a witness, and instead make his master suspicious.

He also suspected this yesterday, but how could an eight or nine-year-old child lie?

What was going on? Zhou Bingwen also talked about Hong Wazi. Prefect Cheng was curious and quickly gave orders to Captain Cui to go to the Hong family and bring Hong Wazi to the court.

Oh, and his dog.

What does this have to do with dogs? Prefect Cheng was very curious.

Soon, Captain Cui brought Hong Wazi back, along with his dog, and of course, some of the Hong family members who followed him out of concern.

The Hong family was stopped outside the court, and only Hong Wazi led the black dog into the court.

During this period, Fan Jin, who was in prison, was also brought to court, including the plaintiff woman.

When Prefect Cheng saw the man and the dog had arrived, he asked Zhou Bingwen, "The man has arrived, what's going on?"

Zhou Bingwen then told him about how Bafang would take him to relive the actual trip today.

Then he looked at Hong Wazi and said, "You said you only saw Bafang yesterday, and didn't see Mr. Fan. Is that true or not?"

Hong Wazi nodded without thinking, "Yes, I only saw him." He pointed in all directions.

Zhou Bingwen asked again: "Were you walking your dog at the alley entrance at that time?"

Hong Wazi nodded, "Yes, I walk my dog ​​there every afternoon."

Zhou Bingwen only asked him if both of them were fine, and then turned to Cheng Zhi.

He continued, "But according to Bafang's recollection, when the master and servant passed by the entrance of Jingtai Lane yesterday, Hong Wazi was walking his dog at the entrance. The dog bit the hem of Fan Jin's clothes at that time, and Fan Jin was very afraid of dogs. Bafang urged Hong Wazi to let the dog go quickly, but Hong Wazi thought it was fun and deliberately let the dog pull the hem of his clothes for a while before calling the dog back.

So the student asked Bafang to find the clothes that Fan Jin wore yesterday, and found a scratch on the hem of the clothes caused by a sharp object. If what Bafang said was true, then the student guessed that there must be cotton thread stuck in the dog's teeth!

Please ask the adults to check it in court. If it is true, it proves that Hong Wazi is lying! "

As long as it can be proved that Hong Wazi was lying, there will be a breakthrough in the case. Who knows, we can even follow the clues of Hong Wazi's lies to find out the real murderer.

When Fan Jin, who was standing by, heard this, he suddenly clenched his fists, as if he had realized something. Oh, why didn't he think of this!

He didn't pay attention to who he met yesterday, but he was still scared when the dog suddenly rushed up and bit the hem of his clothes. If he was really bitten by a dog, he would definitely get a rabies vaccine these days. He didn't want to die from rabies!

When Prefect Cheng heard this, he was shocked and quickly asked Captain Cui to check it out personally.

At the same time, he did not forget to glance at Bafang. This book boy, how could you forget to tell him such an important thing yesterday?
But he thought that even if he said it, he probably wouldn't have thought that the dog would have evidence.

In this case, it is no wonder that the book boy missed it.

Captain Cui responded and went towards the black dog.

The black dog was being led by the young master. When he saw someone approaching him, he sensed danger and immediately started barking at Captain Cui, showing his fangs and making a defensive and attacking posture.

Hong Wazi also stood in front of the black dog and said to the prefect Cheng sincerely, "Sir, I am not lying. I only saw him. Besides, my dog ​​never bites anyone." He looked at Captain Cui with cautious and timid eyes, "Big Black is timid. You scared him, sir."

Looking at the black dog with a fierce look on its face whose barking shook the entire courtroom, Captain Cui's mouth twitched slightly: Is this called being timid and scared?
Mrs. Hong couldn't help but say outside the court: "Sir, my dog ​​really doesn't bite people. If you don't believe me, ask the neighbors. I've raised this dog for two years and it has never bit anyone!"

Prefect Cheng slammed the gavel and said, "No one, no one outside the court is allowed to make noise and disturb the trial!"

Forget it, he glanced at Captain Cui and said, "Why don't you take a look? You will understand once you have seen it!"

Captain Cui nodded and asked the bailiff to come up and take Hong Wazi away. He took the dog leash. When the black dog saw his young master being taken away, it thought that his young master was in danger, so it suddenly pounced on the bailiff and started biting him.

The other yamen runner was startled and hit the dog on the back with the stick in his hand.

The black dog suddenly started barking and pounced on the bailiff ferociously.

Captain Cui stepped forward and kicked the dog in the stomach, then leaped up swiftly, locking the dog's neck and clamping its head.

The bailiff quickly took a rope and tied the dog up like a dumpling, leaving only its mouth exposed.

Then he carefully used something to pry open the dog's mouth and held it there, then he carefully checked inside the dog's mouth.

"Sir! We have discovered something!" Captain Cui suddenly shouted.

After a moment, a half-finger-long, thin cotton thread was picked out from the gap between the dog's teeth - and then compared with the clothes presented by Bafang.

Finally, Captain Cui showed it to Prefect Cheng and said, "Sir, the cotton thread picked out from the dog's teeth matches the material and color of Scholar Fan's clothes exactly. It can be confirmed that this is from Scholar Fan's clothes!"

Zhou Bingwen, who had been staring at it, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his clenched hands under his sleeves.

Fortunately, he made the right bet!
Prefect Cheng nodded, then slammed the gavel and looked at Hong Wazi and said, "Hong Wazi, this proves that your dog bit Scholar Fan's clothes. Why are you lying? Why don't you confess the truth?"

No matter how naughty and daring a child of eight or nine years old is, he is not afraid of the majestic officials.

Hong Wazi was so frightened that he started crying, looking outside, shouting for his mother and trying to run away.

Of course, he was grabbed by the bailiffs.

Mrs. Hong, who was watching outside, was so distressed that she ignored the warning and couldn't help shouting, "Sir, my son Hong wouldn't lie. My dog ​​doesn't bite people. Maybe they deliberately tore the clothes to get rid of Mr. Fan's crime and entangled them in my dog's teeth. Yes, that's it! Sir, you are wise!"

This statement is too arrogant and unreasonable.

Zhou Bingwen bowed and said to the prefect, "Sir, you have just seen with your own eyes how vicious this black dog is. How could I get close to it and pry open its mouth to get the cotton thread stuck in its teeth?

Besides, I knocked on the door of the Hong family before, wanting to see the dog to confirm it, but Mrs. Hong didn't let me in at all. The neighbors of the Hong family also witnessed this."

Prefect Cheng slammed the gavel again, "You are not allowed to yell in the court. If you dare to interfere with my case again, you will be beaten with a stick!"

Mrs. Hong was frightened and dared not say anything more.

When Hong heard that he was being beaten with a stick, and his mother didn't come in to save him, and he couldn't run away, he was just pretending to cry, but now he was really scared and cried his heart out.

Prefect Cheng was also annoyed that the child dared to lie. If he didn't investigate strictly, in the future, if there were cases involving children and they all lied, how many unjust cases would there be?

He was also furious and threatened Hong Wazi: "Hong Wazi, tell the truth quickly! If you refuse to tell, I will have you tortured!"

When Hong Wazi heard that he was going to be tortured, he immediately cried out, "I lied! I lied! Sir, please don't hit me!"
