Chapter 2014 Time
Zhao Han immediately took action.
She asked a clerk to take her to where the four suspects were.
The secretary's office soon took Jia Baoyu to one of the prisons of the Ministry of Punishment.
Unlike the dirty and smelly cells in the legend, the prison they came to was very clean.
"Sir, this is where the officials who just committed the crime are temporarily placed. These four people have definitely not been abused in any way." The clerk noticed Jia Baoyu's doubts and immediately explained.
Zhao Han nodded.
Yes, the prisoners may retaliate, and the Ministry of Punishment will not treat them too harshly.
After all, we may have such a day in the future.
Only in the sky prison, in the hands of the jailers, will you suffer.
They don't care whether you are a high official or not, as long as you are not special, in their eyes you are just money, money, money.
Too many prisoners were tortured to death by jailors.
Obviously, officials attach great importance to these four people, "Benevolence, Righteousness, Properity and Wisdom".
The four people were imprisoned separately. This is of course to prevent the real murderer from killing everyone else in the middle of the night. After all, no one knows who the murderer is now.
At the same time, it is also to prevent them from colluding with each other.
Zhao Han first came to the No. A cell where Zhao Youren was held.
"Zhao Youren, Mr. Jia is here to see you. If you have anything to say, please answer it truthfully!" the clerk said, knocking on the fence.
In the corner inside, a big white fat man in brocade clothes immediately jumped up!
Do you deserve the surname Zhao?
When Zhao Han saw this big fat man through the gap in the cell railings, he couldn't help but think bitterly.
It's such a shame for the old Zhao family.
This Zhao Youren has a fat face, big ears, and a big belly. He is so fat that people cannot stand it.
This was still in ancient times.
I don’t know how much Minzhi Mingan I have eaten.
I have obviously lost a lot of weight after being locked up for these days, and there are sagging skin on my face.
"Sir, sir, I was wronged! I, Zhao Youren, was wronged!" After seeing Jia Baoyu appear, he immediately leaned on the cell railing and shouted loudly.
"Stop yelling nonsense!" the clerk scolded, "Who comes in here and doesn't cry out for injustice? Only by confessing honestly can you get out."
Zhao Youren calmed down and looked forward to it. , waited until Jia Baoyu asked.
This handsome young man must be rich or noble.
Because the young gentleman who can enter such a place must have a very high status, either a prince or a noble.
He wanted to grab this life-saving straw.
"Just tell me, do you know how Wang Xin died?" Zhao Han asked casually, actually staring at every detail of the other person's expression.
Also let Xiao Huan start cheating...
Xiao Huan is really awesome at looking at people.
After all, this guy has evolved many people.
When the fat man Zhao Youren heard this, he burst into tears and said, "Sir, I really don't know. If I knew that Wang Xin would drown and beat me to death, I wouldn't let him get on the boat!"
"I'm so wronged, I'm so wronged!"
"I kindly tried to win him over as a new recruit, but who knew he would die, who knew he was afraid of water?"< br>
"In the evening, I was still talking about, should we dock first at night?"
"It's all about Qian Huaiyi, Qian Huaiyi. He said that rafting at night is more exciting. Sheng, just spend one night on the boat, so we spent the night on the boat.”
Zhao Han looked at Zhao Youren and began to feel a little sympathetic.
"Is this guy telling the truth?"
She asked Xiao Huan in her mind.
"Yes, this big fat man is very angry. You can see that there are many slap marks on his face, which he removed himself." Xiao Huan suddenly transformed into a detective and said enthusiastically.
"Awesome, you have observed so carefully." Zhao Han admired.
She saw it too.
Yes, Zhao Youren had 10,000 reasons to beat himself up.
Because he should have heard about the big pirate. The big pirate wants to destroy the nine tribes!
Zhao Youren is not the only one who dies. If he is wrongly convicted, all nine of his clans will die!
Throughout the ages, how many people have been exterminated by nine tribes?
Usually three tribes are wiped out.
The Yi tribe is the most common punishment.
It is also very cruel.
In short, Zhao Han cannot bear this kind of unwarranted punishment.
Think about it, you are eating hot pot, hugging your concubine and singing songs, and suddenly the imperial army rushes in, takes your whole family away, and then beheads you!
The reason is that your cousin's daughter-in-law's son rebelled!
You have never heard of this man in your life and you are implicated!
You can't stop it even if you want to.
So, when traveling through feudal society, we must oppose it!
It is better to rebel late than to rebel early, and to rebel in a small way is worse than in a big way.
Otherwise, you will feel wronged the day you are implicated.
Just like Zhao Youren now.
If he was a rebel, he wouldn't cry out for injustice at this time...
Zhao Han thought casually.
But the problem is, even if Zhao Youren is telling the truth at this time, she can't just let the guy go. She has to find the murderer.
"Don't panic, I will make my own decision."
"Yes, yes, sir, if you have anything to say, just ask, I will tell you everything I know, sir, make the decision for me, my I will give you all my property." Zhao Youren just wanted to put this terrible disaster behind him.
The family property is gone, but as long as the nine tribes are still there, he can still seek refuge with relatives and friends.
My relatives and friends will give me a bowl of rice at least.
“Let me ask you, is there an intimate relationship between Wang Xin and Qian Huaiyi?”
"Yes, they do! They have a relationship. Qian Huaiyi has known Wang Xin since he was very young. The two of them grew up together, and Qian Huaiyi often took Wang Xin out to play together. This time it was also Qian Huaiyi They insisted on spending the night on the boat. And the two of them slept in the same cabin." Zhao Youren kept talking, wanting to tell everything.
Just from this attitude, you can know that he is not the murderer.
Murderers often don’t want to talk much, because lies are difficult to fabricate, and the more they are fabricated, the more loopholes they have.
And the more he talks, the more information that only the murderer knows about the crime scene will be exposed.
The best option is not to speak.
Conan often uses this to solve crimes.
"By the way, Qian Huaiyi must have killed him. Sir, I am innocent, Qian Huaiyi did it."
Zhao Youren shouted.
He wanted to get rid of the crime quickly.
"Okay, let me ask you again, did you hear anything that night?" Zhao Han asked again.
"That night, I was too tired after rowing all day, so..."
"Wait, no, no, you admit that Wang Xin and Qian Huaiyi have a close relationship, so why was the rowing incident at that time... You and Qian Huaiyi are interested in poetry, but Wang Xin and Li Duozhi?" Zhao Han discovered another doubt.
When Zhao Youren heard this, his face suddenly turned pale and he was sweating profusely.
His back felt cold and he said incoherently: "Yes, I, I... It was Qian Huaiyi who took the initiative at that time to row a boat with benevolence and righteousness, to write poems with faith and wisdom, and to cook tea with etiquette."
"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Han asked.
Xiao Huan lay on her head and said, "Of course I'm afraid of you, you're too fierce." "Sir, I don't dare to say, I don't dare to say." Zhao Youren looked around, as if he was afraid of something in the air. .
"Why don't you dare to say it?" Zhao Han asked, "What are you afraid of? This is the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, surrounded by government officials, and the Forbidden Army is stationed not far away. What are you afraid of?”
Yes, what is there to be afraid of under the emperor’s feet?
Zhao Youren finally calmed down.
He suddenly shouted: "I remembered, there is something strange, there is something strange, sir!"
"What is strange? Tell me carefully." Zhao Han said excitedly.
“I just remembered that in the middle of the night, I saw Wang Xin appearing on the bow of the boat. I was hungry at the time, so I got up to look for something to eat and found him on the bow of the boat. I didn’t take it seriously. , said hello, ate pastries, and went back to the cabin to sleep."
"I have a big belly, so I often eat in the middle of the night."
"Did he answer you at that time. ? Is it facing you or with your back?" Zhao Han asked.
"He was standing on the bow of the boat, with his back to me." Zhao Youren tried to recall.
"Why didn't you think of it before?" Zhao Han asked again.
"I, I was scared before. They said we were murderers, and said that the great pirate Wang Bolun wanted to kill all nine of our tribes. Only by admitting early can we avoid disaster. I was so scared that I forgot." Zhao Youren cried again. .
Zhao Han nodded.
This is the truth.
People's memories can be frightened.
Only when you meet someone who can make you feel at ease will you slowly recall your memories.
Zhao Han asked again: "At what time did you see him specifically?"
"Thinking about it now, it should have been a few hours before dawn." Zhao Youren suddenly said again He began to tremble all over and even twitched on the spot, unable to speak at all.
Zhao Han motioned to the book office to call someone.
Soon more than a dozen government officials came in, opened the cell, and a doctor came to treat Zhao Youren.
Zhao Youren woke up and saw that there were many people. He immediately hugged the doctor and cried: "There is something strange! They said that Wang Xin drowned for almost a night. Who could the person I saw in the middle of the night be?" Ah?”
“I’m scared to death when I think of this!”
“Don’t come to me!”
“My lord, my lord, you are so scared!” Let these brothers accompany me, I don’t dare to be alone in prison!”
Zhao Youren made the doctor so embarrassed that he was like holding his own little baby.
"Don't worry. I have never seen anything strange in my whole life of practicing medicine. I have seen countless dead people, but none of them can get up and act strange." The doctor said seriously.
Zhao Han nodded.
Then I thought in my heart, although there are all kinds of weirdness in this world of Red Mansions, all the weirdness is fake...you have to automatically filter it out when watching.
The real thing is the details of aristocratic life, various items, etc...
Zhao Han fell into deep thought.
Zhao Youren saw Wang Xin standing on the bow of the ship in the middle of the night.
And Zhao Youren also knew that Wang Xin drowned for more than a night.
Is this Wang Xin a real person or a fake one?
In addition, is it really possible to determine how long a person has been drowned?
Modern times can be judged by the reproduction number of microorganisms in water.
What technology is this era?
Thinking of this, Zhao Han temporarily gave up interrogating Zhao Youren.
Then he ordered the doctor to prescribe some soothing medicine for Zhao Youren. He must ensure that these medicines are not poisonous and resolutely protect his safety. He must test the medicine with a dog first and then give it to him after testing the medicine.
Zhao Han asked five innocent government servants to accompany Zhao Youren.
At this time, Zhao Youren was mentally very fragile.
If you don’t do it right, you might really go crazy.
Then an important witness is lost.
The ancients were prone to going crazy because they had little knowledge and the daily oppression they suffered was too severe.
The spirit is highly depressed.
So I can see a lot of records, they are all crazy people...
Zhao Han left the cell where Zhao Youren was and came outside.
The sun was shining brightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
“No, Lao Han, you are so cowardly.” Xiao Huan said with disdain.
“I’m not afraid, why am I so timid?”
"You're just afraid. Don't you think about it. With Lao Wen here, what are you afraid of? This is just an illusory world, at most it's closer to the main world." Xiao Huan said plausibly.
"Thank you, I'm not afraid anymore. After all, the teacher is still here." Zhao Han also figured it out.
Just rely on the teacher for everything.
Anyway, the teacher is a big peacock, and he can run very fast even if he drags his big tail...
Zhao Han couldn't help laughing when he thought of someone's slander against the teacher.
There are ghosts and gods in Dream of Red Mansions.
Just like that Ma Daopo, who took the money given by Aunt Zhao and cursed Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng. Jia Baoyu almost died, but in the end it was the monk who used the psychic jade to save him.
But here, it shouldn’t be about ghosts.
Someone must be trying to make something mysterious. As for the purpose, it may be to cover up the truth.
He then went to find his own wife from the Ministry of Punishment.
"Can you tell the drowning person and how long he has been drowning?"
The waiter knelt on the ground and replied: "If you are a good waiter, you can tell, for example, how long it takes to distinguish between people." He was drowned a few days ago, but it’s definitely not accurate.”
“It can be seen from the clever work. Is the work in Jiangnan good enough?” Zhao Han said. , and looked through the case file, and found that the coroner who performed the autopsy was a well-known local figure.
And this work has been sent to Beijing at the same time.
Zhao Han immediately found the man and started questioning him.
"I'll ask you an answer. As long as you answer honestly, I will give you enough money and let you work in Jia's ancestral hall. You will have a worry-free life." Zhao Han made a promise directly without being verbose.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir. I will answer honestly." Wuzuo's eyes lit up, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed directly.
“How did you find out that the deceased had been dead for one night?”
“It’s actually a coincidence, because there is a strange algae in the local area that can disappear from sight overnight and then grow. It's so big." Wu Zuo said and took out an oil paper bag from his arms.
He carefully opened the oil paper bag, revealing a few pieces of algae, the size of a thumb.
"Sir, please see, I took this out from the depths of the deceased's nasal cavity." Wu Zuo pointed at the algae and said.
“How to use it to tell the time of death?”
“It’s very simple. This algae can only be inhaled deep into the nasal cavity when it is tiny. After being inhaled into the nasal cavity, it will continue to grow.”
"After taking it out, check the current time, and then based on the time it took for the algae to grow to such a size, you can know when it entered the body of the deceased. When it was inhaled, it was very small , it was when the deceased was drowning. And it was already so big after it was discovered, which means that the deceased had been drowned all night."
Wu Zuo said firmly.
Zhao Han clapped his hands.
"Brilliant, indeed brilliant."
She immediately knew that Zuo Zuo had been deceived...
Because there was another way to fake the time of death.
That is to let people drown in advance, then rescue them and drown again...
