Chapter 111 The irrefutable evidence
Cheng Ying cried out in pain. He stretched out his hand and found that he had bitten his lip in panic.
"It is precisely because you two knew that the Star Reaching Tower would collapse, so you chose to kill people and dump their bodies here. Cheng Ren is the direct descendant of the family. If he disappears inexplicably, the people of the Zhang Cheng family will never let it go."< br>
"But if he died in the Star Reaching Tower accident, then there would be no need for his family to pursue him."
Zhou Zhao stared into Cheng Ying's eyes, his expression full of determination.
"It's just that you didn't expect that the Northern Army would immediately pull back the horses and seal the Star Building, and you didn't leave immediately; you didn't expect that even if it was a corpse, we would definitely fish him out of the water. Get up and never let anyone die in vain.”
Cheng Ying came back to his senses, clenched his fists, and lost the arrogance at the beginning. He sat back and looked away from Zhou Zhao.
"I don't know what you are talking about. The Star Building will collapse. How could I, a foreigner who first came to Chang'an, know?"
Zhou Zhao did not answer Cheng Ying's question directly, but looked at the brazier in the interrogation room, "Don't you think it's strange? We went back to Tingwei Temple at noon, but it was in the evening that we came to interrogate you."
Chengying pursed his lips tightly. He reached out his hand and touched the sweat on the tip of his nose.
"Where were you four nights ago?"
Cheng Ying suddenly raised his head, holding his hands on the table, looking at Zhou Zhao in horror.
Zhou Zhao narrowed his eyes, "Before coming, I found three witnesses."
As he spoke, Chen Jiyuan led the three of them over excitedly. His waist was too far forward, and people could see his chest and belly before even seeing his legs. The neck is thrown back, the head is raised high, and the figure is paced.
From the front, he looks like a handsome young man who wants to show off his authority.
From the side, it looks like a weird bow.
Chang Zuoping, who was standing in front of the door, glared angrily at Zhou Zhao and looked at Chen Jiyuan, "Are you pregnant in ten months? Your belly is bigger than that of Li Tingwei!"
Chen Jiyuan was excited and bent down instantly. He shrank his neck, lowered his eyebrows and trotted over, "Sister Zhao, the witness is here!"
He said, his eyes full of excitement.
God knows how long he has been in Tingwei Temple. This is the first time he has the opportunity to investigate a case. Li Youdao usually sleeps when he comes and doesn't care at all. When he was on duty in front of the door at night, it was also surprising. He seemed to be born with a holy body to ward off evil spirits, and he never encountered a single case.
For three months, he only had to clean endless tables, serve endless meals, and even had to clean the yard for Xu Jin's old mother.
Today he was lying on the wall and heard Zhou Zhao investigating the case, and he finally found an opportunity.
As Chen Jiyuan spoke, he looked at the three witnesses behind him with eyes as warm as the spring breeze.
The middle-aged man standing at the front couldn't help but rub his arms and moved a few steps away from Chen Jiyuan. "This sir, this villain is already married and has two rebellious children. On weekdays, he only wants to fish and Unparalleled hobbies.”
Zhou Zhao listened and could barely hold back his dignity as an official.
She suppressed her laughter and looked over expressionlessly, "What did you see by the East River four nights ago?"
The fisherman immediately became solemn and said, "Sir, I will fish by the East Water every night. I remember the night four days ago very clearly. I never caught a fish at first, but then I finally caught a fish. Hook was scared away by three people who suddenly passed by.”
"I came out because I was so angry with my stupid son that I was so angry that I even had a quarrel with them."
The fisherman said, raising his hand and pointing at Cheng Ying, "That's him. At that time, he threw a handful of copper coins on the ground and said he wanted to compensate me for the fish. I was so angry that I stabbed his arm hard with the fishing rod. This place.”
The fisherman spoke in detail, and was worried that everyone would not understand, so he pointed at his sleeve. When Zhou Zhao heard this, he rolled up Cheng Ying's sleeves at lightning speed, and as expected, he saw a mass of bruises on his arm.
"The three of them were quarreling at the time, and they were talking about something about the head of the family. After meeting me, one of them..."
The fisherman looked at the corpse on the side with some fear, and then pointed at Cheng Ren, "That's him, he left first. The remaining two people went upstream along the east water. I was very angry at the time and carried the fish I want to go home.”
"I walked along the river bank for a while and saw with my own eyes the two of them walking to the Star Reaching Tower."
After Zhou Zhao heard this, he looked at Cheng Yu, who was already trembling. He did not look at the fisherman, but stared at a chubby old man standing in front of the door.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhao said to the chubby old man, "Mr. Deng, do you know the man in front of you?"
Dr. Deng nodded, "Remember, this boy came to our hospital three days ago."
Zhou Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Dr. Deng with interest, "Hey, there are so many people coming to the hospital to seek medical advice. How can the doctor remember the people from three days ago?"
Dr. Deng touched his beard and looked kind. "When this son entered the hospital, he looked anxious. He said that his parents had been bitten by centipedes at home, so he took out a prescription to grab medicine. Because there was arsenic in that prescription. I am very cautious.”
"In the early years, Mr. Zhou Yan of Tingwei Temple tried a murder case. The murderer bought arsenic from the medical store. Since then, Mr. Zhou personally visited and met almost all the people in Chang'an City. Doctor, please leave a record when someone buys something highly poisonous.”
"If we are involved in a case in the future, firstly, it can be used as evidence, and secondly, it can also allow us to protect ourselves wisely."

As Dr. Deng spoke, he bent over and handed a roll of bamboo slips in his hand to Zhou Zhao.
Zhou Zhao's hand trembled slightly, and he felt that the bamboo slips in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms.
This is indeed what her brother Zhou Yan would do silently.
She took a deep breath and opened the bamboo slips. It indeed recorded the matter, and even stated the dress of the person who bought the medicine, and a jade pendant with Chinese characters hanging around her waist. To think about it, neither Cheng Ying nor Cheng Yuan expected that among so many people, they would find that the cause of Cheng Ren's death was different from others.
Therefore, they did not do too much disguise.
After reading it, she placed the bamboo slip in front of Cheng Ying and gently knocked on the table.
"Can you tell me now? What did you hear near the Zhaixing Tower four nights ago? Then how did you kill Cheng Ren, and then kill Cheng Yuan to silence him? Do you recognize the remaining witness? , the wine doctor who teaches you food.”
"He remembers clearly and understands what you said to him."
Seeing that he was finally called, the wine doctor immediately answered, "This young gentleman told me that the sucrose black beans should be eaten hot, and more soup and more sugar should be added."

Why, of course it was to allow the arsenic to dissolve in it faster and to prevent Cheng Ren from seeing the clues.
After Cheng Ying heard this, she finally couldn't hold back and cried loudly.
He had runny nose and tears and looked extremely sad, "I'm obsessed with it. There are very few male members of the direct branch of a family, and Cheng Ren was just lucky enough to be chosen by the head of the family to become the direct branch of the family. Because of this, he He will be the head of the family in the future.”
"Cheng Yuan has always been unconvinced by this. No one is a real dragon, so why should Cheng Ren be in charge? The previous head of the family, Cheng Yuyuan, even said personally that she would accept him as his heir and let him inherit the family."
< br>
"I'm not convinced either. Among the three of us, I am actually the only one who truly has the blood of a family. How can those two adopted people with a foreign surname have the nerve to compete for the position of head of the family with such dignity?"
Cheng Ying wiped the snot from her nose that was almost falling to the table with her sleeve, "I never thought about killing someone. Cheng Yuan and I witnessed a murder case in the Star Building, and we heard them say, Something will happen in Star Reaching Tower..."
"Afterwards, Cheng Yuan came up with the plan to poison Cheng Ren. He told me that this was simply a God-sent opportunity."
