Chapter 234 Play on the spot

  Chen Wu grinned at the corner of his mouth, hesitating for a long time and didn't know where to start.

Chu Nanzhi looked at him with a confused look on his face, and hurriedly urged him with anger: "Tell me, it's possible that I can't remember what I ate today because of the meal I ate yesterday. I don't have any memory at all, and I have to wonder how you got to be the chef."

Chen Wu had a bitter face, so he had to improvise on the spot, and began to elaborate while thinking: "The little one remembers that my mother prepared a roast chicken, fried some pancakes, cooked a pot of porridge, stewed a pot of pork, and prepared a pot for the little one. A jug of old wine."

  Well, such a sumptuous meal should not arouse suspicion.

  Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Nanzhi continued to ask: "It's quite rich, so let me ask you, how many cakes did you eat, how many bowls of porridge did you drink, and how many bowls of wine did you drink?"

"This"

  Chen Wu was so depressed that he finally couldn't answer.

  Continue to edit, even if I can talk nonsense, my mother at home can't keep up with my rhythm.

   "You are clearly lying, and you dare to make up things."

Chu Nanzhi sternly reprimanded, her peach eyes half-closed and turned into a smile, and said: "Chen Wu, according to the law of our court, relatives are indeed not punished for protecting each other, but the crime you committed is not an ordinary crime. Murdering the court Ordering officials and colluding with Dongsang thieves is a heinous crime of treason,

You can drag your old mother into the water, but Mr. Hu and I will go to interrogate your mother in person. If what she said does not match what you just said, this crime of covering up treason is different. I'm afraid she can't bear even a meal in class for Qianli. "

  Chen Wu's face paled when he heard this, and his heart gradually filled with panic.

  If she came to interrogate herself seriously, even if she beat herself to pieces, she would not frown, but now that this woman has sinister intentions and has her mother involved, it is really impossible for people to deal with it for a while.

  Chu Nanzhi reminded again solemnly: "I have witnesses who saw that you appeared near the county captain's mansion when the crime happened yesterday, and there were more than one person. You can think about what to do next."

  Chen Wu only dared to keep silent.

  Chu Nanzhi said solemnly: "Since you refuse to admit it, let me tell you about your whereabouts yesterday."

Pausing for a moment, then eloquently said: "After you were kicked out of the post the day before yesterday, you didn't go anywhere else. Instead, you hid secretly in the county government office, in Master Tan's courtyard. Yesterday, Kang Mingyuan was arrested. During the investigation, you took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the County Lieutenant's Mansion, murdered Qi Dongqiang, and then fled from the west side of the County Lieutenant's Mansion. Although it was a well-designed route, people bumped into you unexpectedly. You said I was right or not ?”

"I"

  Chen Wu was dumbfounded. She didn't expect her deduction to be so correct, but she did have some skills.

   Could it be that he is showing his feet?

   It shouldn't be.

   But this murder charge cannot be admitted at will. He gritted his teeth and denied it again: "There is no proof, why is Mrs. Chu implicated in the Lord Registrar?"

   "Yesterday, Kang Mingyuan was dismissed from his post, and then the county government was sealed up. Everyone stayed where they were and waited for orders. Only one person took advantage of the chaos and left the court."

Chu Nanzhi stared angrily at the past with wide eyes: "Yesterday, Master Tan was the only one who went to the backyard to obtain evidence of Kang Mingyuan's crime when Kang Mingyuan fell from his horse. If he hadn't reported the letter for you, how would you have known about the court in the first place? Seizing the right time to escape from the government office?"

"This"

  Chen Wu was at a loss for words again.

  Yesterday the county government office was besieged to the brim. If Master Tan hadn't been clever, he wouldn't have been able to get out of the county government office. I'm afraid he is still trapped inside with everyone.

  But because of this, Tan Miao also fell into the target of public criticism, which aroused suspicion.

  He didn't expect this woman to be able to correlate so much content from these subtle doubts, and he didn't know how to refute it in a hurry.

   While he was at a loss, Xing'er, Zhang's maid, was brought in by Li Ce.

  Xing'er just stepped into the courtroom, looking at the back of the kneeling in front of the hall, she cried out: "Hey, isn't this the one who fled into the woods that night?"

  Chu Nanzhi heard the sound, and immediately went up to meet him, and asked in a surprised voice, "Xing'er, how can you be sure that he is the person you saw?"

  Xing'er pointed at the back of Chen Wu's head with pursed lips, and replied seriously: "He has lost a lot of hair on the back of his head, and he can see clearly in the dark with white hair."

   "Chen Wu, stand up."

  Chu Nanzhi scolded in a solemn voice, and couldn't help but glance at the white spot on the back of his head, which was quite eye-catching. I noticed it the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect it to become a piece of evidence.

  Chen Wu stood up tremblingly, but he didn't dare to turn his face away.

Xing'er was recalling the scene of that night, while gesturing at his figure, she inadvertently saw the butcher's knife on the table, her eyes became firmer: "Miss Chu, I dare to conclude that this is what I saw. Man, he was holding this kind of dagger in his hand, as if he was wiping it in his hand."

  Chu Nanzhi nodded hesitantly and looked at Chen Wu: "Tell me, what's the matter with the missing hair on the back of your head?"

   “I used to accidentally scald the skin off by boiling water when slaughtering pigs, and the hair never grew back.”

   Chen Wu replied without thinking.

"Okay, let's talk about it again. Why did you appear in the west of the city on the night of June 24th? Could it be that Xing'er misunderstood again, were you at home or in the posthouse that night? Do you want to make up some more?" The reason, I will ask the cooks and handymen in the post house again?"

  Chu Nanzhi asked repeatedly.

  Chen Wu's dark face became even more gloomy. Even his own mother couldn't guarantee that his statement was consistent with his own. How could the people in the posthouse collude with him in such a hurry.

   What's more, he has been kicked out of the post house now, and Tan Miao has also been imprisoned. No one can protect him.

Chu Nanzhi sat back on the chair by the hall, and tentatively said slowly: "Even if the two yamen guards who watched you were killed by you, I can't identify you based on this, but so many people have seen you appear in every case. At the scene of the murder case, everyone will not be slandering you, if you don’t tell the truth, I can only let Mr. Hu use torture.”

   "Then please kill the little one."

  Chen Wuli was poor at Ci Ci, and became very excited when he heard that he was knocked down.

  Chu Nanzhi looked at him with death-defying eyes, and it was exactly as she thought, maybe he was a hard-headed person who would eat soft and not hard.

  She smiled slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Now you are strong and strong. Since you are so fearless, why did Tan Miao make you confess immediately with a few intimidating words the other day?"

  It seems that these two people are indeed having an affair, there is no doubt about it.

  Chu Nanzhi shouted at Li Ce: "Li Sanlang, lift his arm."

  Li Ce went up upon hearing the sound, and vigorously lifted the shirt on Chen Wu's arm, only to see that the upper left wrist was wrapped with a cloth bag, and blood was still faintly oozing from it.

   "Remove the bandage."

  Chu Nanzhi's face was sullen, and Chen Wu's eyes were so frightened that his whole body felt cold, and he spoke tremblingly.

  He pressed **** the bag, trying to hold this last line of defense.

  Li Ce called the yamen servant to hold him down, and slowly opened the cloth bag, and saw a clear scratch in everyone's eyes.
