What was originally a small case has become complicated and confusing at this moment.
With the arrival of the lord of Yuxi City and the envoy of the king's order, the still clear pool of water was muddied.
The most direct one involves the old and new enmity between Kaiya and Lied. When he was in the capital, Kaiya once helped him design Li De in order to win over Yunyang Shizi Liyi. Unexpectedly, stealing a chicken would not cost a lot of rice, and I was warned by the Lord Lingwu, so I had to pull down to apologize, and lost face.
The moment he saw Lide, he knew Lide was robbing someone. He somewhat admired Lide's courage, but if he was allowed to take people away like this, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill him.
He watched the trial just now, and knew that the Yoshihira family had brains, and basically destroyed all the evidence.
Li De saw that he had just arrived in Yufeng City, so he came to the Internal Affairs Office non-stop, and only then could he catch up to prevent the final judgment. He guessed that he hadn't even been to Ji Hirata's house, and Amo hadn't found evidence for three years, so what evidence could he produce in a hurry? You just want to take people away with nothing but a piece of paper
Kaya squinted her eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
If you want to be a hero with Fengcheng, then I will let you come and go!
As Kaya expected, Li De started with Amo. He can only start with Amo:
"On my way to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I heard that the daughter of Liushi and Carissa spent three years in Jipingtian's house, just to expose Xiuzi's face as a hypocrite and expose the real murderer of her mother to the world. Is this true? "
After getting hints from his elder brother, Kay replied righteously:
"It's just a one-sided statement. Since the messenger knows that Amo is the daughter of Liushi, he naturally knows that the family members' testimony is not very reliable. Amo is eager to save her father, or she thought of this statement herself, or someone persuaded her to say it. These words, without other evidence, do not explain the problem at all.”
Kaya nodded slightly.
Amo is young and Liu Shi's daughter, so she is not a witness at all.
Amo herself knew this too, and bowed her head deeply upon hearing this.
Lied continued to ask:
"Okay. But since Amo came out to testify, she must have her own story. I want to hear what Amo said about the incident three years ago?"
Kay laughed and said:
"Although it's not credible... but she said that Mr. Xiuzi killed Carissa three years ago, and then used a maid named Xueyin to pretend to be Carissa. After the drainage stone was hooked, he killed the maid together and faked the scene. Put the blame on Liu Shi, who was insane at the time."
Lied immediately asked:
"Since this is the case, there must be a maid in the mansion who disappeared out of thin air. Wouldn't it be clear if I checked it?"
Kay breathed a sigh of relief, Lide had already asked all these questions before, and he knew how to answer them. Kai relaxed his vigilance a little, and repeated what Patriarch Yoshihira had said. Although there is no evidence, this lie is so flawless that no one can tell the truth from the fake.
The hope that had just been ignited in Amo's heart was extinguished again.
Liu Shi was silent from the beginning.
Lied was silent for a while, then suddenly said:
"Since the maid named Xueyin realized that she would be silenced in advance, besides letting Amo go, there must be other evidence left behind. It may be a letter, or a blood book written in an inconspicuous place .”
Kai frowned slightly, and looked at the head of the Yoshihirata family.
Ji Hirata's Patriarch stood up tremblingly, and said:
"Xueyin's room is now occupied by someone else. In the past three years, nothing has happened, and no so-called letters have been seen. As for the furniture in Liushi and Carissa's room, they have long been discarded. It's already an empty house."
Kay breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result, he was half relieved this time, when he suddenly heard Lide say:
"Oh... Patriarch thought that if the things were destroyed, the evidence would be gone? That's a good idea. Xiuzi killed the maid to silence her, so he got your true biography."
Kai said slightly displeased:
"Master Messenger, please don't act out of thin air..."
Before the words fell, Lide took out a letter from his arms and said loudly:
"Unfortunately, on the way to Windy City, someone just stuffed me with a letter. Brother Kaiya, check it out, is it this one?"
At that moment, the head of the Yoshihirata family, Xiu Zi, and Kay who was sitting high on the stage stood up at the same time, and said in unison:
"impossible!!"
Lid smiled and said nothing, and asked Alaya to hand over the letter to Kaia.
Kay didn't know why Lied didn't give him the letter, but he believed in his brother's eloquence.
Don't say that this letter cannot be Xueyin's suicide note, even if it is, there is no evidence to prove it now.
As it happens, Kaia thought so too.
Alaiya presented a letter, and Kaia could tell at a glance that the letter had nothing to do with Xueyin. Although the letter paper is a little wrinkled, it is not yellowed, which means that the letter was written not long ago, not three years ago; moreover, the letter is wrapped in an envelope, just imagine that even if Xueyin really wanted to leave any evidence, at most it would be a piece of evidence. A note, how could it be possible to have the leisure and elegance to find an envelope and wrap it up.
He felt that Lide had probably lost his head, relying on this to play tricks.
All eyes were on Kaya.
He opened the letter unhurriedly, glanced at it twice, first frowned, and then suddenly opened his squinting eyes.
There was visible shock on that face.
The first few glances were slow, but then they got faster and faster, as if they were about to jump on the letter. Cold sweat trickled down his cheeks and fell on the desks, and the folding fan in his hand was also put aside. After a while, Kaia raised his head, looked at the ceiling, closed his eyes, thought for a full two or three seconds, then stared at Lid with interrogating eyes, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Brother Lide... Do you know 'Xueyin' who wrote this letter?"
The way this question was asked was a little weird, but Lide still smiled and replied:
"How could I know Xueyin. I just said it, but someone gave it to me on the way."
Kaiya folded the letter and put it back in the envelope. Instead of showing it to Kay who was full of doubts, she returned it to Alaya, and said lightly:
"That's right, it's Xueyin's letter. In the letter, Xiuzi was accused of murder and framed."
Kai didn't know why his brother's attitude suddenly changed so drastically, but he stood up without hesitation at this moment.
Without saying anything, he lost completely.
So he immediately said aloud:
"Even if it was written by Xueyin, the suspicion of her being framed cannot be ruled out! Xueyin is dead and cannot be confronted in court. It would be too hasty to execute a son of a big family based on a letter from a dead person!"
The smile on Lied's face was even wider, but the coldness in the smile became more obvious.
He stared at Kay, raised a hand, and said:
"Okay. Since you don't want to verify the physical evidence, Alaya, bring the witness!"
As soon as the words fell, no matter whether it was Kai or the members of the Yoshihirata family, they all gasped.
