I won't do the task of traveling quickly

Chapter 171 Punish the World (34)

Seeing that another suspect had already been brought, He Yu also took the initiative to stand under the hall.

"You..." Jiang Chengcai saw the woman next to him as if he had seen a ghost. He was about to speak when Zhao Bin coughed again.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Zhao Bin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Tang, the suspects have been brought here. Do you want to start now?"

When Tang Yi heard this, he glanced at Zhao Bin with some displeasure. He hated this kind of people the most, the ones who stood by and chirped while he was reviewing the case.

Cough cough, except for the king of course.

With a "pop", Tang Yi slapped the gavel in his hand.He then cleared his throat again, and said solemnly: "People under the hall, why don't you kneel down to me quickly?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he received a cold stare from the person beside him.

Damn it, Tang Yi secretly screamed in his heart.Once he got used to saying this, he forgot about everything.

But didn't the king say that the case was handed over to him for the presiding trial? Tang Daren felt very wronged in his heart.

But he still added sensibly: "Ahem, since the circumstances of this case are special, I will exempt you from kneeling."

Sure enough, that cold gaze disappeared immediately.

Tang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued to ask: "Now that the case of Zhou Min's murder is being retried, the two of you still have nothing to do."

He Yu was actually very panicked, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Sir, it's better for Young Master Jiang to speak first. After all, the daughter of the people is here to confront him."

Tang Yi naturally didn't dare to say anything bad, so he coughed again: "Jiang Chengcai, you have to say it first."

Jiang Chengcai naturally wanted what he wanted, and he was afraid that He Yu would regret it, so he was anxious to speak immediately.

"It's like this. The villain had an affair with the little lady of the Song family long ago. On the day when the incident happened, she suddenly came to the villain and said that her mother was looking for a matchmaker and was going to marry her to a Poor scholar..."

Jiang Chengcai originally spoke with great interest, but for some reason he felt that the air was getting colder and colder.He even felt a line of sight above him staring directly at him, but he still forced himself to continue.

"We, when the two of us were discussing, who would have thought that Miss Song's mother, Zhou Min, came back. Zhou Min was very angry when she saw me, and we started arguing. Later, for some reason, Miss Song took her mother Pushed down."

Tang Yi asked: "According to what you said, Zhou Min died at that time?"

"Yes." Jiang Chengcai said with some panic on his face, "At that time, after testing, I found that the old woman was not breathing. I was shocked and wanted to report it to the official, but Mrs. Song couldn't stop her. Let’s go. We dragged each other to the street like this, and when she noticed that there were more people watching, she even beat her up.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Chengcai cupped his hands and said, "It is thanks to Mr. Zhao's insight, that the villain was not wronged."

Tang Yi didn't answer, and after he finished speaking, he asked He Yu again: "Miss Song, do you have something to say?"

He Yu thought for a moment and then said: "Sir, this is not the case."

"Oh? Then you can talk about it."

Although He Yu didn't know the specific situation at that time, he had learned something about it from Wu Guixiang and Song Wei before.

So she explained: "Minnv had never met this Young Master Jiang before. It was he who fell in love with Minnv and followed me to the house, trying to force me. Later, when my mother came back and saw her, she stepped forward to stop her, but he Pushed to the ground. Minnv pulled him up to prevent him from escaping."

"You little slut, stop talking nonsense." Jiang Chengcai said excitedly, "You deserve it?"

Seeing this, Tang Yi slapped the gavel in displeasure: "How can you be presumptuous in the courtroom?"

Jiang Chengcai also knew that he was impulsive, so he repeatedly accused him.

At this time, Yuchi Xicheng said: "Master Zhao is so good at handling cases. He only heard the suspect's side of the testimony and immediately convicted him of this crime."

Zhao Bin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and fell to his knees with a plop, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, get up." Yuchi Xicheng paused for a moment and then said to Tang Yi, "Master Tang, why don't you ask the witnesses at that time?"

"Yes." Tang Yi hurriedly recruited his subordinates to give instructions.After a while, the official sent a few witnesses.

A woman said that she did see Song Caiyue and Young Master Jiang entering the Song family that morning.Later, when Mother Song came back, she reminded her. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before Song Caiyue and Young Master Jiang got involved.

The woman kowtowed and said, "At that time, the girl from the Song family was still shouting that Young Master Jiang had killed her mother and was holding him back. Later, she gave up when the official came."

The few remaining witnesses also corroborated the woman's statement.

Tang Yi thought to himself, this would be troublesome.After all, there were only three of them present at the time, and one of them was still deceased.Now isn't it true that the father-in-law is right and the mother-in-law is right?
But after all, Tang Yi still had experience in handling cases, so he thought for a while and asked: "Is the autopsy done at that time still there?"

An official from the county government came out to the crowd and said: "Sir, this work is now below."

"Okay, let him come up and answer."

Within a few breaths, an old man with a beard staggered into the courtroom.

Then he bowed tremblingly: "Greetings, Your Majesty, and your two lords."

After Yuchi Xicheng waved his hand away, Tang Yi asked him: "Are you the one who performed Zhou Min's autopsy?"

"It's the villain."

"Did Zhou Min die from a head impact?"

Wu Zuo replied respectfully: "Zhou Min was indeed hit on the head this time."

Tang Yi frowned when he heard the words. He was about to ask in detail, but the man spoke again: "Here, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"The king is here, just say so."

The man thought for a moment and finally spoke.

"Although Zhou Min was indeed hit on the head, this was not a fatal injury, nor was it the main cause of her death."

Tang Yi's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Go on."

"Yes. The villain checked the corpse carefully and found that the deceased was suffocated to death by covering his mouth and nose."

As soon as these words came out, not only He Yu but also Jiang Chengcai were surprised.The people watching were even more uproar.

Tang Yi forced him to ask: "Then why didn't you report to the higher authorities?"

"This." Wu Zuo said hesitantly, "Master Zhao..."

Although he didn't finish his sentence, everyone here is not a fool, so naturally they all understand.Zhao Bin was so nervous that he was sweating profusely.

But Tang Yi didn't care about him anymore.It could be said to be an accidental homicide before, but now it has turned into a murder case.

So he asked again: "Miss Song, did you confirm that the deceased was dead?"

Of course He Yu didn't know, so she could only hesitate and say, "The situation was urgent, and I was also flustered..."

Wu Zuo also said at the side: "The villain guessed that Zhou Min really passed out at that time, so it created the illusion of death. But when she woke up later, she was smothered to death."

He Yu didn't expect things to turn out like this.If according to what these neighbors said, Jiang Chengcai and the original owner dragged out the door after hitting Song's mother, then Jiang Chengcai would have no time to commit crimes.

It's not just her who thinks this way, Tang Yi is also very embarrassed.Unless the two lie together, neither has time for the crime.But this possibility was directly ruled out by him.

Then there is only one possibility left, the murderer appeared at the scene after the two left.He should have smothered her to death after seeing the deceased wake up.

Then this person must have something to do with the deceased.
