PS: I have something to go out today, the update is late, sorry!It will be updated twice a day starting tomorrow!
—————————————————————————————

When the incident happened, the first three men to arrive at the scene were Lin Zhao, Wang Yu and Chen Xuan.The magistrate's son is naturally excluded, and Lin Zhao, who is a witness to each other, is naturally fine.Ever since, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Xuan!

"That's right, it's you!" Lin Zhao pointed at Chen Xuan coldly.

There was a little panic in Chen Xuan's eyes, and he stammered: "Blood! I... I have no grievances with Brother Ruogu, what motive do I have for killing?"

"I'm ashamed to say it!" Lin Zhao sneered, "Why did you give false testimony to frame Miss Meng? What's your intention in getting close to Miss Meng and then hooking up with a married woman from the Meng family?"

"You?" Mrs. Meng was very surprised and extremely angry.The others were also amazed, the uncle-to-be of the Meng family hooked up with the young lady?There is such a thing!
Lin Zhaodao: "Lady, do you still remember that day when I was wronged to peek at the young lady changing clothes? Actually, I did see it, but what I saw was Chen Xuan and Li Shi, who had an affair tryst. It was because of this that they The villain first filed a complaint and tried to frame me in a different way, just to silence me. After I find out, I will push out a Xiaotao as a scapegoat!"

"Nonsense! It was all my fault that day, and it has nothing to do with the young lady... Besides, if you didn't say it at the time, why did you make it up now?" Xiaotao seemed very loyal at this time, and took the initiative to take the blame.

Lin Zhaodao: "Madam Mingjian, I had no evidence at the time. If I said it, no one would believe it, and I would be charged with a false accusation. In the past two days, I have also blamed myself. If I had spoken out bravely, my son might have been spared. , the eldest lady will not be wronged and imprisoned!"

Mrs. Meng told secretly that if Lin Zhao had really said it at that time, he would not have believed it.Everyone also understands very well, it is undoubtedly a wise move to keep silent and not to ask.

One sentence also reminded Shao Wenquan, and immediately sent someone back to the prison to release Meng Ruoying.No matter who the murderer is, at least Miss Meng is innocent.

Lin Zhao continued: "It was from that day that I paid attention to collecting evidence. First of all, it was the medicine dregs that I accidentally discovered. That day Xiaotao was indeed decocting medicine, but it was not a tonic, but a preparation for her master just in case The birth control pill! It's a pity that the matter was broken by me. Although the villain escaped by suing first, Li Shi failed to take the medicine in time during the panic.

In fact, no one will pay attention to the dumping of medicinal residues as usual, but some people have a guilty conscience, fearing that someone will find out the clues, so they dump it in a hidden place under the flower tree.He didn't even notice that he knocked off a piece of porcelain in his panic, and he committed a crime of his own accord! "

Everyone didn't think that there was such a reason behind it, that the Meng Mansion was full of filth.Wang Yu finally understood why Lin Zhao was so confident.If they don't know some inside information, it is really difficult for others to find the clue.

Lin Zhao continued: "Without taking the medicine, Mrs. Li thought she was fine, but she didn't expect to be pregnant. The belly will grow bigger day by day. If it is not dealt with in time, it will not be covered for a long time. It is a pity that the child's father did not show up until yesterday's birthday. There is a chance only after a banquet. Presumably the two of you left the banquet at that time to discuss countermeasures in a secluded place!

Worried about being discovered elsewhere, the two returned to the small courtyard.It just so happened that the young master went back to his room to get the article and found out that the two of them were messing around!If the matter came to light, both the man and the woman would be ruined, so they kept on doing nothing, and in desperation took the candlestick and stabbed at the young master.The son studied hard all year round, his body was weak, he couldn't resist, and was brutally killed.

The analysis is reasonable and very vivid, and the situation of the day is well restored, and everyone has a clear context in their hearts.

"Originally, the murderer could not escape the crime, but it happened that Ms. Meng arrived at this time. Speaking of which, I was also to blame. At that time, I found that the dog and the man were quite puzzled after leaving the table. Miss Meng noticed that she must have wanted to follow up to find out, but I don't want to be someone else's scapegoat."

Lin Zhao paused for a moment, and continued to analyze: "The murderer was in a panic at the time. When Ms. Meng arrived, they wanted to escape temporarily. They didn't want Ms. Meng's scream to attract everyone, so they couldn't escape. The murderer was smart, and It’s a matter of quick wit! It’s still the villain who sued first, gave false testimony, framed Ms. Meng despicably, slandered her for murdering her own brother, and wanted to put Ms. Meng to death.

Good plan!Kill two birds with one stone! "

Lin Zhao seemed to be praising, but the coldness and anger in his words made people feel cold all over his body!Then he said: "Pregnancy, which was the most troublesome thing, turned out to be a turning point and a cover. The young master did return to the mansion on the day of the affair, and the time was correct. Once Mr. Meng left, there was no evidence of death.

The child in the slut's womb will naturally become the hope of incense, and everyone including the old lady will love and trust, and the testimony will appear credible.Once the Meng brothers and sisters died and were wronged, the Meng Jiaruo family's business would naturally fall into the bag. It's a good plan to count birds with one stone! "

Chen Xuan said coldly: "Have you finished? You have said a lot, and it is all your speculation and inference. What about the evidence? It seems that the things you listed before are not all ironclad evidence, and there are many loopholes. It may be a coincidence."

Lin Zhaodao: "What is the motive for plotting to frame Ms. Meng? Why do you two have to give false testimony? Put some things together, can you explain clearly? How else can you argue? Roll up your sleeves and look at the two arms. have what?"

Under the eyes of everyone, Chen Xuan didn't dare to disobey, and there was a slight bruise on his left arm.Lin Zhao said: "Should I compare it and see if there is any similarity with the scar on the young master's arm?" Everyone could clearly see that it was indeed caused by a collision in a fight.

Chen Xuandao: "Is this considered evidence? It was caused by an accidental collision. It's just a coincidence!"

"There are so many coincidences in the world!" Lin Zhao sneered!
Wang Yu and Shao Wenquan were a little anxious, and everyone believed that this was indeed the case.But on the basis of legal principles, if there is no absolute ironclad evidence, there are indeed some flaws in trying to settle the case.

Mrs. Meng was already full of doubts, and now she needed a definite answer.Li Shi and Xiaotao were full of luck, and if Lin Zhao could not produce hard evidence, they might be able to escape.

At this moment, Wu Zuo excitedly said: "Brother Lin, the fist is open!" During the constant alternating ice compress cooling and hot water immersion, due to thermal expansion and contraction, Meng Ruogu's right fist finally loosened .Lin Zhao and Wu Zuo carefully opened a gap, and pulled out the nail deeply embedded in the palm, revealing a short blue silk thread at the top.

Lin Zhao's dignified expression suddenly stretched out, and he turned around and said, "Chen Xuan, you are dead!"

Both Chen Xuan and Li's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he really found some evidence?
Wang Yu was also overjoyed, and looked up.I saw Lin Zhao holding up the bamboo tweezers, holding a blue silk thread, and said: "As you all saw just now, this silk thread was found from the son's fingernail. The son held it tightly in his hand before he died, obviously it has a deep meaning. It's telling us about the killer."

Then he looked at Chen Xuan relaxedly, and said: "A blue silk thread, see it clearly! I remember that you seemed to be wearing a royal blue silk dress yesterday. May I ask why the silk thread on your clothes is in the hands of Mr. Meng?"

Chen Xuan was a little panicked, and he hesitated and said: "Maybe it belongs to someone else! I'm not the only one in blue..."

"Do you want to go to your house to search for the clothes immediately and compare them?" Lin Zhao followed closely!
"So what if it's mine? Maybe it was because of my contact with Brother Ruogu before!" Chen Xuan has already made up his mind, and he will not die until the Yellow River.

"What a coincidence you have? Mr. Meng's nails are not smooth, and there are fresh and rough gaps, which should have been damaged during the fight. It is precisely because of this that the silk thread from the murderer's clothes was hung, which shows that there is something hidden in the dark. With God's will, the Skynet is fully restored and not leaked!"

"Okay, Chen Xuan!" Mrs. Meng was furious, and she was convinced of this!Lin Zhao's analysis was detailed, and now all the clues are gathered together, and the indisputable facts are in front of him.

Shao Wenquan said: "Chen Xuan, you are also a scholar in vain, you don't want to do such a vile and cruel thing!"

"My lord, I am wronged..."

"The facts are all in front of you, how can you make sophistry!" Shao Wenquan shouted loudly, and the guards at the prefecture and county levels had already stepped forward, surrounded Chen Xuan, and were about to take him down!

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is impossible to deny it, and Chen Xuan is terrified.He didn't expect a silk thread to become a deadly ironclad evidence, and he didn't expect to die in Lin Zhao's hands. Chen Xuan felt a hatred in his heart!Pointing at Li Shi in a panic, he said loudly: "It's all her, she seduced me... I didn't kill Meng Ruogu either, it was her... she murdered her husband..."

Lin Zhao said coldly: "If you have the guts to do it but don't have the guts to admit it, you actually find a woman to shirk responsibility, you bastard!"

Li Shi was already at a loss, and Chen Xuan bit her like this, trying to shift the responsibility to her, which made her even more terrified. "Song Xingtong" clearly stipulates that murdering one's own husband is a heinous crime and a crime that must be died.

Maybe it was panic, maybe it was to deny the crime, Li lost control of his emotions immediately, and shouted: "You also want me to be a scapegoat? Why are you approaching me? Isn't it just to plot the wealth of the Meng family? Who told me that killing two birds with one stone If you kill the brothers and sisters of the Meng family, you can take over the family business logically? Who is it? Who is it..."

In this way, it further proves the fact that the two committed crimes.It had already been inferred that the murderer was a man, so Chen Xuan couldn't deny it anyway.The guards immediately stepped forward and captured the three prisoners, Chen Xuan, Li Shi and Xiao Tao!

Wang Yu let out a sigh of relief, Lin Zhao solved the case in less than two days, and he really did not misunderstand the person, now his father can enter Bianjing with peace of mind.

Shao Wenquan was also quite satisfied, but he was also somewhat regretful.If I knew there was such a master detective, why push it to the government?The great achievements and reputation are handed over to others!But it completely ignored that it was the magistrate Wang who had the eyes to recognize talents!
Chen Xuan and the others were escorted away, Mrs. Meng watched from afar, crying!Unexpectedly, the candidate for the grandson-in-law whom I admire is such a despicable and vicious person, and the gentle and virtuous grandson-in-law is actually a nymph and slut, what a fool and blind!It was even more dangerous to kill the only granddaughter because of this, and what made her even more sad was that the incense of the Meng family was cut off...

Lin Zhao sighed softly, this fact is indeed too cruel to Mrs. Meng, but it is impossible not to say it, alas!I hope the old man can hold on strong.While sighing, he suddenly heard a low sob behind him.Turning around, she saw Meng Ruoying standing at the door, covering her face and crying...
