Chapter 23 The real murderer is him
"Don't let the yellow-mouthed children be so arrogant..."
Zhou Zhao's words were so shocking that the whole hall exploded.
Zhou Zhao was too lazy to look at them, and looked towards a large pillar on the right side of the court hall. If you look carefully, you can see the corner of the bamboo hat exposed from behind the pillar, "Ahuang, how do you do?"
Liu Huang stuck his head out slightly to make sure Chang Zuoping saw him, and then quickly retracted.
"Following your instructions, I inspected the teapot and teacups at the crime scene, and inspected the body again with the old man. As you expected, although there was only a bottom left in the tea soup, it was indeed light yellow in color, with datura, datura, and The smell of hemp seeds is the main ingredient of Mongolian sweat medicine.”
"This explains why the deceased did not resist or resist the wounds. Because the sweat medicine made her drowsy and unconscious."
After Liu Huang finished speaking, his scalp went numb when he felt the gazes coming from everyone, and even the corner of his bamboo hat was covered with a pillar.
Zhou Zhao nodded gently, "The alibi can be forged, but the corpse cannot, so the apostille is crucial in the investigation."
"When Wu Qing broke in, Zhang Ruoqing was already dead and lying motionless on the table. He didn't think there was anything unusual about it. Because Linglan told him in advance that he would drug Zhang Ruoqing to prevent her from calling for help and attracting other people. ”
"As a maid, it is unreasonable to leave the girl alone in an abandoned and dangerous alley, because the master may be summoned at any time."
"But Linglan took Zhang Tan to the alley with confidence and boldness, because she personally gave Zhang Ruoqing the sweat medicine, and Zhang Ruoqing was already drowsy when she left."
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and most of the people present had some experience in solving the case.
Liu Huang and Zhou Zhao both understood that it would take a certain amount of time for the perspiration medicine to take effect. The murderer could not be squatting at the scene and pouring the perspiration medicine first. Everyone rushed over and went straight to the heart and neck, killing him with one blow. Who has the patience to play this?
Zhang Ruoqing must have been drowsy after taking the Mongolian sweat medicine, but Ling Lan, as a personal maid, said nothing about this.
Then there is only one possibility, she was the one who gave the Mongolian sweat medicine.
"Your alibi is an unreasonable flaw in itself. You had good expectations, but unfortunately the most indispensable thing in this world is accidents."
"The restaurant is at the entrance of the alley. Sitting there, you can see everyone entering and leaving Wujin Alley. At this time, a person you didn't expect appears..."
Zhou Zhao said and looked at the coachman who was standing slumped behind Zhang Xun.
"When Suzuran heard about the book, she should have left your sight halfway, right?"
The coachman Zhang Tan seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly turned bad. He looked at Suzuran in disbelief.
"I went out once. Suzuran told me that the girl would be staying for a long time, so she asked me to take the opportunity to go there. There were many people in the restaurant, so it took me a while to come back... but it wasn't long... I came back At that time, the lily of the valley was still there.”
As he spoke, he licked his lips and said in a dry voice, "We were separated for a while."
If Zhou Zhao hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have thought of this at all. He had always believed that Linglan had been there and never left, so he swore to give her an alibi.
Suzuran listened and lost her composure.
Her lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at the group of dandies not far away from her peripheral vision.
Zhou Zhao followed her gaze and said, "The person you saw is among them, right?"
"Because he had a close relationship with Zhang Ruoqing, you were worried about being disrupted, so you separated Zhang Tan and followed him. At this time, you changed the original arrangement of letting Wu Qing come and stuff the wooden plaque into Zhang Ruoqing's hands and did it yourself."
"Because Zhang Ruoqing was killed in advance, the box containing the wooden signs on the table was knocked over, and the wooden signs were everywhere."
"You were worried that when Wu Qing came, the dead Zhang Ruoqing's joints would be stiff and unable to hold the wooden sign naturally, so you stuffed it into her hand in advance, creating the illusion that she had caught the murderer's name before she died."
"I said all this not only to prove that you are the planner, but also to prove that you are the most important witness in the Zhang Ruoqing murder case."
Linglan trembled and looked at Zhou Zhao in disbelief...
She pursed her lips, eyes flashing, and finally spoke, "I thought you would think I killed Zhang Ruoqing.
After all, you proved that I returned to Zhang Ruoqing's house before Wu Qing arrived, so it would be difficult for me to argue that the wound on my chest was not caused by me. ”
"I thought the deduction was complete, but I didn't expect that there were still a few accidents." Linglan said, smiling self-deprecatingly, "I didn't expect that someone would intervene and kill Zhang Ruoqing in advance; I He didn’t expect that Wu Qing had a death wish in his heart, so he immediately killed him as soon as the girl asked him..."
"The last thing I expected was that, girl, you would come out of Tingwei Temple Prison so quickly, and then the truth would be revealed so quickly."
"This makes all the arrangements we make seem like a waste of effort."
Linglan looked at Zhou Zhao with a complicated expression, "I have a few questions to ask Miss Zhou. One is why you don't think I am the murderer? The other is if Wu Qing disposes of the murder weapon and bloody clothes, do you still have evidence to accuse him? Convicted? If I don’t identify the murderer, do you know who he is?”
Suzuran said, raising her hand and pointing at the group of young men, "The murderer is indeed among them."
Zhou Zhao nodded, "I'll answer these three questions. Tell the truth why you wanted to kill Zhang Ruoqing. Don't hide it."
"When the murder weapon is pierced into the chest and then pulled out, there will be blood spatters, and there will be blood on the murderer's body. You don't have time to change your clothes. Last night, Tingwei Temple and the Northern Army did not find any blood on you. And you have arranged for Wu Qing To kill someone, there is no need to stab him first.
Even though Wu Qing disposed of the murder weapon, he still had a fatal piece of evidence left on Zhang Ruoqing's face, which was the tooth mark. ”
"As for the murderer..."
When everyone heard this, they all turned their attention to that group of people.
Huo Zhen was born quite fiercely, and he looked like he was a general. He smelled of alcohol and makeup, and he snorted in displeasure when everyone looked at him. Zhu Huan was a handsome young man. He grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands, and his fingertips were white. The ground was a little wrinkled, and his face was red, whether from anger or embarrassment.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Chen Shanhai was dressed gorgeously, like a male peacock with its tail spread out, and his eyes were looking everywhere; Liu Qi, with his neck curled up and his head lowered, looked extremely panicked, and his guilty conscience was almost overflowing.
The discussion suddenly became louder, and many people were eager to speculate.
"It's Zhu Huan."
"It's Zhu Huan."
Zhou Zhao and Suzulan said in unison.
"After Cao Ben died, you replaced him and became Zhang Ruoqing's number one lackey... Is it difficult to wash off the blood of your beloved girl splashed on your face? Your face is red and your fingers are wrinkled by blisters. .”
Cao mentioned before that after Cao Ben died, Zhu Huan accompanied Zhang Ruoqing alone to look for him.
Huo Zhen was at Chunfeng Tower last night. He and Han Ze could provide alibi for each other, so we should rule it out first;
Chen Shanhai was rich at first glance, but he did not pay back the money for Zhang Ruoqing. It can be seen that although this man coveted beauty, he was far more sensible than Cao Ben, and it was difficult to have any deep hatred for him.
Zhu Huan and Liu Qi were left. Liu Qi had panic on his face, and he didn't have the determination to kill with one blow.
Zhu Huan raised his head suddenly, but burst out laughing, "Look, you, like Zhang Ruoqing, think I'm just a dog. I really like her, want to marry her, pamper her, and grow old together with her." ”
"She promised me!"
"She said she would marry me after I paid off Han Ze's debts with her."
"My family is full of money, not as rich as Cao Ben's. For Zhang Ruoqing, I violated my conscience and helped her kidnap several children from merchant families. The money is still not enough."
"She listened to Ling Lan and wanted to attack Cao Ben's younger brother. Cao Ben emptied his family's fortune for her, broke with the family, and killed Jian Yue for her, and finally died."
"He gave her everything, but in the end Zhang Ruoqing had to tie up his brother. I really regretted it at that time. I didn't dare to look in the mirror every day. I fell in love with an evil ghost and turned myself into an evil ghost. .”
When Zhu Huan said this, tears were already streaming down his face. He knelt down and covered his head.
"After enough money was collected, we agreed to stop. I thought everything was finally over, but what about her? She hasn't changed at all. From the beginning to the end, she is still the same Zhang Ruoqing who wants to be the crown prince and climb high. .”
"And like Cao Ben, I am just a dog in her eyes, a dog that can be thrown away at any time after using it."
"She deserves to die."
