The first work of the imperial prison

During the previous confession process, Ye Baiting has been paying attention, observing the changes in the expressions of all the suspects, seeing the subtle impact of Shen Jiangbu Songliang's question on the atmosphere of the scene, thinking about Qiu Yiqing's position and appeal, every action, What kind of subtext is hidden under each sentence...

Thanks to Bu Songliang for disrupting the situation, everyone reacted greatly, but he was the only one who could see clearly.

So far, what is there to worry about?

Qiu Yiqing probably knew him, most of what he said before was for him, he knew whether it was a crime or a meritorious service.If he guesses wrong and Qiu Xunqing doesn't know, that's even better, just hang around.

The most important thing now is to solve the case... The truth deserves to be respected!

"Dare not to obey orders!" Ye Baiting bowed to Qiu Suiqing according to the request of the soldiers in Jinyiwei.

Since this person dared to ask him, he dared to ask clearly!

He took a few steps forward and walked in front of Chang Hongwen, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were burning: "May I ask Master Chang, who has the same gentle temperament, why do others say that the deceased Chang Hongwu is an honest and kind person, and when they talk about you, they only say that they have a good temper? "

Chang Hongwen seemed to have not recovered from the shock brought by his wife, and his expression was a little slow: "This... how do I know?" He sighed, "Most people in the world respect officials, and don't degrade me. Speaking, maybe it is because of this?"

Ye Baiting disagrees: "My lord, what you said is wrong. 'Others' are a group, and their perception of you comes from your external performance. Everyone evaluates you as having a good personality, gentleness and kindness, but no one says You are a good old man—it must be that you have done something that is not so 'good old man', you have a good temper and often laugh, but you are not necessarily willing to be bullied and taken advantage of. Master Chang, what have you done?"

Chang Hongwen smiled wryly: "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about. Forget it, I don't care what relationship you have with my wife. If you insist on letting me take the blame for your wife, it's okay."

He looked at Lou Shi affectionately: "I don't regret it."

Lou immediately panicked, took two steps on her knees, and grabbed the corner of Ye Baiting's clothes: "No, please don't wrong my concubine's husband, everything is done by my concubine, it's my concubine who killed someone!"

Ye Baiting's eyes drooped, and there was a sense of pity in the bottom of his eyes: "Master Chang has picked and kept people for more than ten years, not only the three deceased in this case--Is Mrs. Lou one of them?"

The room was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at Lou Shi in unison. Lou Shi's face turned pale instantly, and the hand holding Ye Baiting's clothes dropped down.

Ye Baiting looked at her: "A little girl who lost her mother since she was a child, was raised under the nose of her stepmother, was coerced by many etiquette rules, lived a cautious life, and walked on thin ice. She dared not ask for what she wanted, and dared not refuse what she didn't want. The sisters always take the blame for their rivalry, they can't even offend the servants, they have never tasted warmth, and they live lonely, hopeless and helpless... What a perfect example, isn't it?"

He paused, then turned to Chang Hongwen: "Bring this little girl home, let the environment isolate her, abuse her, and treat her badly, but you are the only one who is gentle and tolerant to her, and considerate in your words...how could she not fall? Step by step, you intensify and repeat this kind of living environment, and transform her into your good doll, she can help you do many, many things, what you do, she will not care, no request, no problem, once the truth Dabai, if you are found, you can easily push her out and take the blame for you, just like today."

"Are you proud? Do you feel that no one can create such a work except you?"

Shen Jiang was so startled that his jaw almost dropped, the murderer turned out to be him... Lou Shi was also the victim!

He fumbled in disbelief at the rice paper on the table, which was all the evidence he found in the past two days, something with Lou's small seal printed on it, the smoked pine yarn Lou bought, and Lou bought it himself at the dim sum shop Dried almonds, and an alibi, everyone can explain it clearly, but she can't explain...everything is evidence against her!

Such a big net, such iron evidence, is it all a cover-up created by Chang Hongwen!

Of course Chang Hongwen would not admit it, he was even angry, he flicked his sleeves, and blushed furiously: "I don't know who this little gentleman is, but he is talking nonsense here, making slander, is this how Beizhen Fusi handles cases!"

He looked straight at Qiu Yiqing sitting in the seat, but Qiu Yiqing didn't say a word, his attitude was clear, it was connivance.

The corners of Ye Baiting's lips curled up, and he stretched out his hands to applaud him: "Master Chang's reaction just now was really good, it was a textbook-level performance, and Ye was amazed. Aren't you always gentle and never get angry in front of others? Why, by Ye Baiting Did someone hit the mark? Angry?"

Chang Hongwen gasped: "You are the one who bullies people too much!"

Ye Baiting copied it into his sleeve: "Ye is not talented, and he has some experience in studying people's expressions. Just now when Shen Zongqi asked about the case, your wife Lou's expression was confused, obviously ignorant. When you clicked on your Chang's name, she still She was very shocked, when it was mentioned that the deceased Liang Wei had sexual fantasies about you, she froze immediately and looked at you in a very wrong way—she didn’t know about it, did she?”

Chang Hongwen's expression was indifferent: "You have to ask her this question. I have said it before. I am not a murderer and did not kill anyone."

Ye Baiting did not turn to Lou, but continued to stare at him: "When Bu Songliang pointed out that Lou was the murderer, she was very scared. You hugged her, patted her on the back, and said to her, 'As long as you say no, I will Just believe it', say 'the children are waiting at home', say 'if you admit it, you will be sentenced to death according to the law, and you will never be able to go home'... What is the meaning of all these? It really comforts her, Tell her not to be afraid?"

"Still make it clear, remind her—yes, I did it, I killed the person, if you plead not guilty, I will be arrested; there are children at home who are minors, who is more important to them , You who can only cry are useless, but I am an official; if you kill someone and pay for your life, you will be executed if you plead guilty. Do it, you are threatening her, if you don't do this, not only her, but also her child will be unlucky in the future!"

Chang Hongwen: "I didn't—"

Ye Baiting's face was solemn: "Chang Hongwen! Do you know that Lou's whole heart has long been entrusted to you through all kinds of experiences in the past, and he is willing to give everything for you. Knowing that you are in trouble, how can he not take the blame for you? You don't have to do this at all. Forcing her to do more mistakes, but to prove your crime!"

Chang Hongwen's pupils shrank suddenly: "You...did it on purpose?"

Could it be that Shen Jiangbu Songliang was acting and fishing just now?

Ye Baiting raised his eyes slightly: "You can use your wife to confuse us, why can't we use her to confuse you? And Master Chang, you just said the wrong thing."

Chang Hongwen shut up instantly, realizing that he was being trapped.

"Hands down, eyes shifted—" Ye Baiting smiled, "Master Chang, you're panicking."

Chang Hongwen stared straight at it, sinister and fierce, full of oppressive force: "To handle the case, you have to tell the evidence, my lord, have you forgotten what your commander said just now?"

Ye Baiting smiled even bigger: "Oh, Lord Chang wants evidence, why didn't you say it earlier? If you said it earlier, I'll give it to you."

Chang Hongwen's heart skipped a beat.

Ye Baiting took a step in Lou's direction, her chin raised high: "Mr. Lou said that whenever she sends people to the Liang's shop to buy, the smoked pine yarn is always in stock. Is it because of your face? The mistress of the Chang family Although there are several boxes of smoked pine yarn in the warehouse, they are nothing compared to your Master Chang’s private warehouse, and this yarn is inexhaustible for you.”

Chang Hongwen narrowed his eyes.

Ye Baiting said again: "Master Chang only remembers killing his younger brother to hide the poison and the clothes he changed, why did he forget to dispose of the smoked pine yarn in your warehouse? Oh, I remembered, it was Liang Wei's love , you enjoy it very much, are you not willing?"

"You're talking nonsense—"

"You insisted on taking off Chang Hongwu's clothes, not because of any scratches or blood stains, but because the clothes were also made of smoked pine yarn?" Ye Baiting took a step forward, "You know we are investigating Liang Wei's case, Yansong Sha is very sensitive, and I don't want the two cases to be linked together, so I changed it for him, right?"

"That day you saw us and asked about the injuries of all the people in your house. Everyone had them, but you didn't. Are you proud?"

Shen Jiang: ...

It turns out that Young Master Jiao already knew about it!I didn't specify it on purpose, and asked him to investigate according to this line, did he want to relax the murderer's vigilance!Pity him as an errand runner. In order to confirm this item, he even wronged himself to secretly watch Chang Hongwen take a bath...

He suddenly remembered a little accident that night. He obviously stepped on a dead branch by accident. The sound was so loud that Chang Hongwen in the room didn't notice it at all. There was also this bather who asked someone to get in the water before it was completely dark. ...Could it be that the murderer knew he was outside and showed him on purpose?

Yin ah, too cloudy!One and two are so insane, it's outrageous!

The dissatisfied gaze from behind was too strong, so Ye Baiting had no choice but to give a look of "calm down, I'll kill you if I make trouble again".

He did guess this fact, but not long ago, this is not important, he stared at Chang Hongwen, and continued: "Just now Shen Zongqi read the gift list with Lou's small seal, but this year, there is nothing left from previous years, Mr. Kechang Don't forget, the gift list can be exchanged, and things can be faked, but you can't hide the traces that you have been to Liang and Jiang's family. Liang Wei has no father, no mother, and no clan. But I have never moved. The yard Jiang Jiye lived in when he was young was not good. It was by the farthest door, but there happened to be a woman who had lived alone for many years over there? The old woman remembered that Jiang Jiye was miserable at that time. Yes, it makes people feel distressed, when I was about 11 years old, a person suddenly appeared, I often went to see him, it was a man, and his physical characteristics were just like Master Chang."

"As for your younger brother Chang Hongwu, he lost his mother when he was born and was raised under the name of your biological mother, Aunt Yu. His life was not very good at first, because your mother and son were also having a hard time at that time. Why was Aunt Yu treating him like a little boy?" Cats and puppies? Afterwards, you had an idea, and gradually influenced the environment to train him in a targeted manner... At that time, your power in the Chang family was not so powerful, and many people saw it."

Chang Hongwen narrowed his eyes, and argued again: "If everything is as you said, what is my plan? Knowing them, approaching them, helping them, doing so many good deeds, but killing them in the end?"

"Yeah, why did you kill them?"

Ye Baiting looked into his eyes: "Shen Zongqi puts his heart into his work, and checked Mr. Cha Chang's childhood, and it seems that it is not very satisfactory. Mr. Chang has worked hard for many years, and he has come to this day. What exactly is it? Is it love, is it caring and warmth, or - the power to control others?"
