The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 850: Doubtful

Views:

It is still diagonally facing the corner of the spirit shed.

The difference is that the high-back chair that Sun Shaozong was sitting on has been replaced by a comfortable chair made of red sandalwood.

If it wasn't for his firm refusal, there would still be two maids left and right, serving tea and snacks.

Most of this, of course, is due to You Shi's small and diligent efforts.

But it's also because Sun Shaozong's current status is enough for people to take it seriously - otherwise, no matter how You try to please him, he will have to be concerned about the opinions of others.

Rotten class privilege.

With a silent feeling, Sun Shaozong took the freshly brewed Wuyi Dahongpao from Chen Jingde. He lowered his head and sniffed the wafting fragrance, and read the text that he had just delivered, word for word. Testimony.

Sure enough, as he expected, only after reading three or five lines, the word 'righteous indignation' already appeared on the paper.

According to the account of the 'principal' Ma Yizhen, he accidentally discovered that Zhao Yixiong had an affair with his wife, Ma Chunfang, more than half a month ago.

Just at this time, in order to confirm the many matters of the contemporary Zhang Tianshi going north after the spring of next year, Ma Yizhen, Zhao Yixiong, and Liu Yiwei were ordered to rush to Jiangxi.

Ma Yizhen felt at the time that this must be because God wanted to use his own hands to clean up the door, so he gave this rare opportunity.

So before he left Beijing, he started planning.

First of all, under the guise of Zhao Yixiong, he and Ma Chunfang agreed to elope yesterday evening.

Immediately after leaving the city, Zhao Yixiong and Liu Yiwei were summoned and announced that there was still a secret mission to perform before heading south to Jiangxi.

That is to seize the opportunity to induce the overflow of spiritual veins in the newly built Tianshifu, with the prestige of Zhuangtianshifu.

Zhao Yixiong and Liu Yiwei did not suspect him, so they followed Ma Yizhen and lurked outside the city.

During this period, Ma Yizhen reached a covenant with the loyal Liu Yiwei, so the two led Zhao Yixiong to Tianshifu to kill him the night before.

And they took away Zhao Yixiong's head and clothes because they were afraid that someone would recognize Zhao Yixiong and reveal the truth that the three did not leave Beijing.

[By the way, the reason why Zhao Yixiong's body was confirmed is precisely because of the vague imprint found by Sun Shaozong on the chest of the corpse-that is a token worn by Zhao Yixiong since he was a child, a unique pattern.

At that time, Ma Yizhen also deliberately took this thing away and destroyed it, but he never noticed that when Zhao Yixiong was pressed on the incense burner, the token printed a vague trace on Zhao Yixiong's chest. 】

After solving Zhao Yixiong, Ma Yizhen followed the 'agreement' and sneaked into the real man's house to kill his relatives righteously and get rid of the shame of Ma Chunfang's family.

Originally, according to the plan, they would go south by boat the next day, and pretended to be robbed halfway, and identified Zhao Yixiong as a missing person.

In this way, the two murders will be recorded on the opponents of the Tianshi Mansion, and there will never be a day when the truth will be revealed, and the reputation of Hongyuan Zhenren and the Ma family will also be preserved.

However, what they never expected was that when they disguised themselves and arrived at Dongbianmen this morning, they were captured by officers and soldiers with their portraits!

There is still admiration for the government. I don't know if it is true or not. Anyway, Sun Shaozong was too lazy to look at it again. He flicked his finger on it twice, sipped his tea and asked, "Chen Sifu, what do you think of this confession?"

"Cheap Yang... Cough!"

Chen Jingde was so quick that he almost said what was in his heart, he hurriedly used a cough to cover it up, and changed his mouth bluntly, "I mean, this is mainly due to your clever and clever calculations - since they were captured in the capital, the wishful thinking of the two murderers will be lost. If it is empty, naturally there is no quibble.”

Sun Shaozong glanced at him, and asked with a pun, "According to what you mean, there is no omission in this confession, is it?"

Missing

Chen Jingde was slightly startled, and then suddenly said: "Yes, yes, there are still some omissions in this, I am afraid that adults will need to interrogate them in person to complete them one by one!"

This guy obviously thought that Sun Shaozong's so-called omission was actually trying to find trouble with the temple chief Yang Zhiming.

However, his guess was not entirely wrong.

The reason why Sun Shaozong wanted to hand over the case to Yang Zhiming for trial was not only because he believed that the two murderers could not admit the truth, but also because he wanted to examine Yang Zhiming.

Judging from the current results, Yang Zhiming's performance is really unsatisfactory - of course, Chen Jingde is also half a catty.

Moving his gaze to Chen Jingde's back, Sun Shaozong handed the confession out again: "Huang Bin, take a look at this confession, and see if there is anything wrong with it?"

Seeing Sun Shaozong go over him and ask a small catcher, Chen Jingde's face was a little overwhelmed.

But Huang Bin was a bit more shy than Chen Jingde, bowed his body awkwardly and said, "This... the villain... the villain is illiterate."

Forget about it.

Sun Shaozong patted the confession in Chen Jingde's arms, and ordered without question: "Read it to him again."

Chen Jingde felt more and more humiliated, but now, how could he dare to violate Sun Shaozong's will

Glancing at Huang Bin fiercely, he reluctantly read the confession again.

Huang Bin heard it with sincerity and fear at first, but the more he went to the back, the more suspicious the cloud on his face became.

After Chen Jingde finished reading, he hesitated for a moment, and then cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Qi, I don't know if it's an omission or not, but I have some doubts in my heart."

"speak."

"First, according to our investigation, Ma Yizhen, Zhao Yixiong, and Liu Yiwei are the most trusted apprentices of Master Hongyuan on weekdays. It is reasonable to say that sending two out is enough, why should one stay by your side."

"Besides, there is also a young master in the capital. He is the most suitable person to contact and coordinate the errand to enter the capital."

"Secondly, Ma Yizhen stated in his confession that he made an agreement with Mrs. Ma half a month ago to have a private meeting yesterday evening."

"However, the longer the interval between such things is, the less secure it is. This is about half a month later, and there is no code set, and the time of the specific meeting is also limited - this does not seem to be in line with common sense."

"Thirdly, the lord said before that the iron nails that were nailed into Zhao Yixiong's body and the tools that drove the iron nails into Zhao Yixiong's body should have been prepared by the murderer in advance."

"In this way, the murderer should have decided to hang Zhao Yixiong's headless body under the main porch of the Patriarch's Hall from the very beginning.

"In other words, they should have known early on that there are several ladders in the Patriarch's Palace!"

"According to the statement, the three Ma Yizhen have been lurking outside the city for the past two weeks, and have never had any contact with the city."

"Isn't this a contradiction?"

When Huang Bin said this, he shook his head and said, "Unless they have the ability to predict, it is really difficult to explain this by coincidence."

When Chen Jingde heard half of it, he was already envious and jealous, so when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but retort: "How do you know that there is no prophet..."

Halfway through the sentence, Sun Shaozong smashed his eyes and immediately made him shrink his neck like a quail.

Stopping Chen Jingde's sour words, Sun Shaozong nodded to Huang Bin and said, "Although there are still some details left out, it is not bad to be able to see these doubts."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his volume: "Chen Jingde!"

"I'm humble."

"Quickly go to the yamen generals Ma Yizhen and Liu Yiwei and escort them here for trial!"

After speaking, Sun Shaozong turned his attention to the real person Hongyuan in the spirit shed.

Originally thought that this Hongyuan real person was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but if the suspicion that he had just suddenly formed was established, in this intrigue, who is the chess player and who is the chess piece, I am afraid it may not be known!
