Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 681
Wang Mang asked Sun Xiwang at this moment: "Sun Xiwang, am I right?"

Sun Xiwang nodded vigorously: "That's right, Mr. Wang, the situation at that time was like this."

At this time, Di Renjie looked at Wenqing and said, "After you killed Yan Shi and took Sun Xiwang away, you did the second thing that night, and that was to kill Chang Po."

Wen Qing pretended to be calm and asked: "Oh, why did I kill Chang Po?"

Wang Mang explained: "Because your ultimate goal is to kill He Wuqi and blame Sun Xiwang.

And Sun Xiwang didn't know that the adulterer was He Wuqi at the time, if this cannot be confirmed, then your poisonous scheme of framing him will not succeed.

At this time, you suddenly thought of the night when Sun Xiwang was monitoring the Sun's cloth shop, Sun Xiwang once said that he already suspected that Chang's mother was the one who set up a bridge in the middle.

The yamen servant who was in charge of monitoring came back to report and learned the words exactly, and we all heard them. "

Zeng Tai and Di Renjie looked at each other, and he said, "That's right, we all remember it very clearly."

Wen Qing smiled and said: "There are such words. But what does this mean?"

At this time, Di Renjie said: "This shows that you have finally found a convincing reason to blame Sun Xiwang.

That is, Sun Xiwang had long suspected that Chang Po was acting as a bridge for the adulterer, so after killing Yan Shi, he sneaked into Chang Po's house.

Asked the adulterer's name from Chang Po's mouth, and then killed Chang Po to silence him, and temporarily hid himself, waiting for the opportunity to get rid of He Wuqi.

"You tried your best to make a lot of false clues at the scene, so that we naturally entered into the deception you set up, and I am sure that all of this was done by Sun Xiwang.

This will completely pave the way for you to achieve your ultimate goal - killing He Wuqi and blaming Sun Xiwang.

Because once this conclusion is established, as long as He Wuqi is killed in the future, the murderer must be Sun Xiwang, and no one else will be suspected. "

Wang Mang glanced at Di Renjie, and said: "So, after we finished our investigation of the scene yesterday, you came to He Yuan to meet He Wuqi, in name to remind him to pay attention to safety, but in fact, you tricked He Wuqi into visiting him in the middle of the night. Meet you in the water pavilion.

So after nightfall, He Wuqi left He Yuan alone to go to the Wangshui Pavilion, while you led a few of your cronies and Sun Xiwang to wait in ambush around the pavilion. "

Everyone followed Wang Mang's narration back to the night——

He Wuqi came to the Wangshui Pavilion as promised, and the surroundings were silent, only Wen Qing stood in the pavilion.

He Wuqi stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Master County Magistrate."

Wen Qing stood up and came forward: "Master He, didn't I let you come alone?"

He Wuqi was taken aback and said, "My lord, I came here alone."

Wen Qing pointed backwards, "Who do you think that is?"

He Wuqi turned his head, and suddenly, Wenqing pulled out the sharp knife hidden in his sleeve, and stabbed He Wuqi's chest fiercely.

He Wuqi turned his head slowly, his eyes were full of blankness, he didn't understand why the county magistrate wanted to assassinate him until he died.

Wen Qing sneered and pushed He Wuqi hard, and He Wuqi's body fell to the ground.

Wen Qing slapped his hands lightly three times outside the pavilion, and several yamen servants escorted Sun Xiwang in quickly.

When Sun Xiwang saw the situation in front of him, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled and his teeth chattered.

Wen Qing took out a handkerchief, leaned over and wiped off his own fingerprints on the knife handle of He Wuqi's corpse, then grabbed Sun Xiwang's left hand, dipped it in the pool of blood, and pressed it to the knife handle.

Immediately, a bloody fingerprint of the left hand appeared on the handle of the knife.

Wen Qing stood up and pouted at the yamen servants. Several yamen servants turned Sun Xiwang around. Wenqing quickly pulled out a dagger from his boot, and stabbed it viciously into Sun Xiwang's back. flow.

Wen Qing quickly drew out the knife.

The yamen servant who supported Sun Xiwang let go of his hand, and his body slowly fell to the ground.

Wenqing walked to He Wuqi's side, took his right hand and dipped it in the blood on the ground, then held it on the handle of the knife, and pinched the tip of the knife with two fingers to come to Sun Xiwang's body, and pointed the tip of the dagger at Sun Xiwang's body. Sun Xi looked at the wound on his back, and slapped the end of the knife with his right palm, and the knife pierced into the wound.

Finally, he took out the golden hairpin and note from his sleeve, and stuffed them into He Wuqi's arms.

After everything was over, Wen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and showed a satisfied smile on his face: "The scene where the two thieves killed each other is really realistic. I don't think anyone will see the flaw."

Having said that, Wang Mang turned his head to look directly at Wen Qing and said, "How about it, magistrate, was the situation like this at that time?"

Wen Qing smiled: "Mr. Wang's imagination is really rich."

Wang Mang didn't care about Wen Qing's words, he smiled, and asked Sun Xiwang, "Did I just say it right?"

Sun Xiwang nodded and said, "That's right."

Wang Mang looked at Wen Qing with a sneer and said, "However, what you didn't expect was that at the same time you committed the crime, Mr. Huai and I figured it out, and of course we also thought that you would kill He Wuqi and Sun Xiwang.

So, I took my men to search the whole city, and sure enough, I found He Wuqi and Sun Xiwang in Wangshui Pavilion. "

Wen Qing's face changed: "Oh? That is to say, you went to Wangshui Pavilion last night?"

Wang Mang said: "Exactly. At that time, I checked the scene and found that He Wuqi was dead, but Sun Xiwang was still alive, so I carried Sun Xiwang back to He Zhai.

Mr. Huai and I rescued Sun Xiwang immediately, and finally saved Sun Xiwang. He woke up this morning and told me the truth. "

Wen Qing sneered, "The truth? The truth is that Sun Xiwang killed Yan Shi, Chang Po and He Wuqi!"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and said, "Oh, I'd like to hear it."

Wen Qing said: "Mr. Huai, Mr. Wang, apart from Sun Xiwang's account, what else can prove your inferences? And this county has a lot of physical evidence, proving that Sun Xiwang is a murderer!"

At this time, Di Renjie smiled and said: "The "Yonghui Law" of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that personal evidence is the first, and physical evidence is second. Also, the first accusation is the evidence. Therefore, as long as Sun Xiwang's testimony is presented in court, it must be accepted."

Wen Qing argued strongly: "But, who can verify the authenticity of Sun Xiwang's testimony? Could it be that he is framing the county?"

Di Renjie asked back: "The motive? Sun Xiwang, a commoner, has no grievances or enmities with you. You have never even met before the murder at the Tongqu Inn. Why did he frame you?"
Furthermore, even if he wants to falsely accuse others to exonerate himself, wouldn't it be reasonable to find a commoner who is the same as you, the magistrate of Qipin County, the magistrate of the imperial court, and the local parent officer of Xuyi to frame you? ?
Also, according to the "Yonghui Law", "all those who falsely accuse others will sit on their backs." '

This is only for the common people, if he dares to falsely accuse the superior, he will not only sit back, he may have to pay ten times the price.

Would a normal person do this? "

Wen Qing didn't expect Di Renjie to be so proficient in the law. He was at a loss for words, and he said after a long time: "Taizong's "Zhenguan Law" stipulates that two people will testify to each other, so it is unknown. In other words, the two cannot mutually confirm the authenticity of each other's words. of."
