Chapter 196 Questions

Ouyang took a closer look at the air conditioner: "Is this the imperial guard's clothes or the Tokyo imperial guards' clothes?" There is a golden thread on the Tokyo imperial guard's clothes. No, it's not so coincidental. To distinguish between Tokyo and other imperial guards' clothes, the only thing is this hem. A murderer wore imperial guards' clothes, even if they were wearing them inside, accidentally hooked up to this part. Did he frame them on purpose? Or did God have eyes? As a policeman, Ouyang would not believe that God has eyes. In addition to coincidence, there are two other situations. One is to frame the Tokyo imperial guards, which makes people know that Ouyang and the Tokyo imperial guards have collusion. The crime can be big or small. If Zhao Yu is suspicious, it will be very inappropriate for this case. Second, if you follow this line and investigate, you will jump into another trap. A trap that makes Ouyang unable to clear the crime.

If it is the second one, it will be very fatal. Because the imperial guards don’t put a lot of clothes every year, if they check it, it is easy to find the owner of the clothes hem and jump into the other person’s steps. However, if they don’t check it, it makes people unwilling to accept it. This arrangement that completely grasps people’s weaknesses.

Also, is Wanyan Lan trustworthy? This is not a chain of traps, and she leads herself to a dead end step by step. Ouyang believes that someone must have arranged this bureau for a long time. However, it took only ten days for the emperor to come to Yangping. Did they not make such arrangements before they knew that the emperor was coming and changed the plan? The emperor came in person, except for the first and second-rank ministers and the officials of the Dawei, the rest of the people would only know about three days before leaving. It would be that the two days from Tokyo to Yangping. It would be not enough time to arrange it. Someone must have found out that the emperor was coming first.

If people are in the world, there are naturally enemies. There must be potential political enemies. However, as far as Ouyang knows, some senior officials are dissatisfied with their behavior, but they may not use such extreme methods. At most, they just use things that seem to be there or not to arouse the emperor's suspicion. It is rare to use criminal prisons to harm officials. After this analysis, the possibility of the Jin people is greater. Ouyang glanced at Wanyan Lan, who was calmly looking at Han Yue outside the window, and then slowly looked at the layout in the cabin. Suddenly sucked in the air conditioner. This layout seemed to be a sensational case in the Special Administrative Region.

A couple was originally happy and happy. The husband died in a car accident once. Since the husband was 100% at fault, the court ruled that the perpetrator should pay the compensation. It was originally a case that no one would pay attention to, but half a year later a bizarre thing happened. The perpetrator and a girl were diagnosed with AIDS a night after one year. However, without knowing that, his wife, the child born later, and the mistress were all infected with HIV. Due to the chain infection, the serious crime team intervened in the investigation and found out that the perpetrator and the wife of the person who died in the car accident had one night, and then investigated the suspect. However, the suspect had been missing for a year.

Finally, he obtained a search warrant and opened the room where the couple lived. The furniture had been emptied, the room was covered with mugs, and white cloth was hung everywhere. The police entered the bedroom and saw her husband's urn on one side of the table, with a bottle of wine and two cups, and a nearly weathered rose. Opposite the urn was the wife's body.

After investigation, after the court ruled, the wife drew blood from the virus-infected drug addict and injected it into her body. After encountering the perpetrator, in order to avoid the other party's chance of not getting infected with the virus, the wife used sleeping pills to make the perpetrator sleep, and then drew her own blood and injected it into her body.

The police later believed that the wife had investigated the details of the disease, was sober and calm, and knew that the behavior of ** is only 1% possible infection, and there was no evidence that the wife suffered from mental illness such as depression. What was even more surprising was that the wife donated all her property to charity, so that the victim could not receive any financial compensation.

Ouyang and his colleagues also analyzed the case and never understood why his wife had such extreme behavior. In Ouyang's opinion, it is enough to kill the perpetrator overnight, so why do we still harm his family?

Could it be that Wanyan Lan's spirit has reached a situation that she cannot understand? Wanyan Lan has always believed that killing his brother and allowing the Jurchens to have such a situation was completely caused by Ouyang. If... Ouyang was shocked, he seemed to have to hand over the evidence.

Zhan Ming and others were already in prison, and if they handed over the evidence, they could get rid of some suspicion. If the opponent was vicious and arranged a lot of evidence against him in the imperial guards, he would jump into the fire pit. He looked for the murderer by the welcoming, and pointed the murderer and provided some documents or tokens that were not forged. Or the murderer committed suicide and left a suicide note to prove Ouyang, which was completely Ouyang's command, and the situation would be much more difficult. But if Zhan Ming and others did not handed over the helm, they would not be able to get out of prison.

Ouyang looked at Wanyan Lan and knew that he could no longer trust this person. The environment was complicated, and it was hard to say who was the enemy and who was the friend.

...

The boat landed and Ouyang went ashore. Zhang San and Li Si were following him on land, and he was relieved when he saw that Ouyang had nothing to do. Ouyang didn't say anything, and they didn't ask. The next evening, he arrived in Luzhou. Ouyang was sleepless last night and was not in good spirits. After finding an inn, Ouyang wrote a letter and found the shopkeeper of the local Yangping Money House. The magistrate heard that Ouyang wanted to help, so he generously sent 300 soldiers to escort the letter to Hangzhou.

Ouyang is definitely not a good person, so the letter was given to Zhou An. Tell Zhou An that once he asked for guilt, he would stop selling any supplies of gold and materials. Although he had lost his power to ask for guilt, Ouyang believed that Zhou An would still help in this matter. No one thought that Ouyang, a seemingly weak scholar, had a side of burning his boats.

Because the case is of great importance, Zhao Yu never left, and the official documents of the Military Affairs Office were also passed to Yangping. Gan Xinhai committed crimes and continued to manage Yangping's affairs. Zhan Ming was imprisoned because of his official position, but he was under house arrest. Ou Ping had no identity and was really imprisoned.

Bai Lian greeted Ouyang twenty miles from Yangping, and the first sentence was bad news: "The complainant is dead."

Unexpectedly, Ouyang was very calm and asked: "Success or kill him?"

"Mr. Tixing said it might be suicide."

"Maybe?" Ouyang was a little surprised. Song's level of punishment was still relatively high, so how could there be a simulation answer? Ouyang said: "White Lian was talking while talking."

...

When Ouyang returned to Yangping, the people around him came up to say hello. Obviously, Yangping people also felt that Ouyang was framed. In Yangping people's eyes, Ouyang did not have a high pursuit of women. Several maids testified in court Ouyang's character. Of course, a small number of people were skeptical. There were all rich and powerful people, and some upright princes and even emperors, left behind in history to force their daughters to sleep with. Why couldn't Ouyang do these things?

Because Zhao Yu supported him, Ouyang was not directly questioned. However, Zhao Yu did not see Ouyang and issued an imperial edict, asking Ouyang to host the case himself, supervise the three departments, and sent the ninth grandfather and two inner guards to follow him. From this point of view, Zhao Yu still trusted Ouyang. In fact, Zhao Yu really didn't mind when it comes to playing with women and dying. According to some records, the so-called talented man Ji Xiaolan has a very dirty side in sexual life. He married countless wives and concubines, almost all of whom were thirteen years old. If he was one year old, he would be eleven years old. But no one pursued him.

Ouyang believed that he was relatively clean in this regard. Although he went to brothels, he still spent money to solve physiological problems with his fifth sister. As a knowledgeable person, of course he chose the latter.

The surname of Tsing in the Jingji River was Song. Ouyang doubted whether he was Song Ci's ancestor. Because his attitude was fair and rigorous. The county government proposal was discussed, many people participated. Song Tixing first said: "According to the investigation of this official, the first deceased Zhang Jiner may not be what Zhang said. Zhang said that Zhang Jiner was pampered since childhood, and his father had a gambling family fell into trouble. This official checked that although Zhang Jiner had some care, his limbs were soft and strong, which seemed to be a training song. However, the corpse was soaked in water for a long time, so the official dared not make assertions."

The headmaster beside Tixing said, "Check, Zhang Jin'er does have this person, Zhang'er does have this person, and her husband is indeed killed by gambling. A relative has seen Zhang's body, so it can be confirmed that it is himself. However, Zhang Jin'er's face is damaged and her body is swollen. No one can be sure whether he is Zhang Jin'er."

Tixing said again: "The second deceased is Yan Qi. According to the investigation, someone was stabbed into the chest at close range without knowing it. Before Yan Qi came back to his senses, he was chopped twice by the murderer. Judging from the position of the knife, the murderer was tall, Kong Wu was powerful, and skilled in cutting the knife."

"The third person who died was Zhang. He was bitten to death by a poisonous snake. He was in the throat. Everyone knows that snakes have no waist and usually bite their hands and feet. Therefore, I infer that there are three possibilities: This snake has been trained to kill people. The second is that it is on the beam of the snake, which is hanging downwards and bites on its throat. The third possibility is that Zhang grabbed the snake and reached its throat."

Ouyang asked: "Why is there a third possibility?"

"Because Zhang has a snake scale on his hand. I believe Zhang has held the snake's body hard, but I'm not sure if he was catching a snake with his throat, or catching a snake after being bitten." Tixing said: "I am biased towards the former because I suddenly encountered a snake, not to mention a woman, even a strong man was scared first. And after being bitten by a snake, he directly hit the snake with his hands. There are few such people."

Tixing said again: "Although the evidence on the surface shows that someone may falsely accuse Lord Ou, if Lord Ou cannot understand the contract, it will be difficult for the case to continue."

Ouyang took the contract and saw that it was his signature. Ouyang said: "Sir, wait a moment, and the officials will do something, and the meeting will be held in one hour."

Ouyang went out and came back into the study of the new yamen. The ninth father-in-law and two inner guards followed in like ghosts. Ouyang wrote a thunderous passage and said, "Brother-in-law, let's go to the throne."

The ninth prince smiled bitterly: "You even dare to play with the emperor."

"As long as you can prove your innocence and the emperor is wise, you won't care."

...

Ouyang stood in the hall respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, no matter whether you are wronged or not, please consider your Majesty who have made some minor achievements. Please ask Your Majesty to be a guarantor."

Zhao Yu said: "That's right."

"I am raising my uncle and aunt, and I have a kind of raising my parents, and I have a sister living by my side. Zhan Ming and others have followed me for many years. I want to leave some way out for them now."

"It's just the last words?" Zhao Yu shook his head: "Ouyang, did I misread you? Forget it, you said, I'll make the decision."

"There is no basis for empty words, please sign and make it true."

"Huh?" Zhao Yu looked at the strange and questioning father-in-law Jiu's face, "Come on."

There are four suicide notes in total. The first one is to take a sum of money to support my uncle and aunt and repair the Ou Family Ancestral Hall. The second one is to leave money to Ou Ping, hoping that he would marry and have children. The third one is Zhan Ming, Bai Lian and Gan Xin shared the shares of Yangping Business Association. The fourth one is to Wang Baofu. I took a casual look and there was no problem, so Zhao Yu took a private stamp and stamped it on it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ouyang took back four contracts, took out a few strokes, took out one of them and said, "Your Majesty, look at it again."

What are you doing? Zhao Yu took the contract handed over by the inner guard for a long time, but saw it saying, "I'm very beautiful, I'm gentle, I'm very cute. The signature is his own private seal. Zhao Yu felt a little hot and asked, "What's going on?" He rubbed the paper off.

"Your Majesty, please see, this paper is not a high-quality paper, there are scraps on it." After Ouyang tear off a layer from the paper, Zhao Yu saw a blank piece of paper. Ouyang explained: "This is a very simple trick. There are two layers of paper, and the signature is mostly at the lower left. After tearing it apart, the signature position is actually on the second layer of paper. This is a temporary prop made by Weichen. If it is carefully made, even if the scrap is less, it can be mixed with fish eyes."

"Take it." Zhao Yu took the contract. Indeed, if you look carefully, you can see that the signature paper and the contract paper are two pieces, but the handover has been covered with a brush. Although some words are left on the signature paper, if you write it again after tearing it apart, you can piece together the broken words. In this way, it becomes a blank paper for Zhao Yu to cover the private seal. After tearing it apart, the signature paper is a little uneven and incomplete. Zhao Yu suddenly realized: "No wonder the corners on Zhang Jiner's sales contract are a bit broken."

Ouyang said: "The most important thing is to use the last line of characters to cover the crossing edges, and then fill in the remaining half characters, which is neat and natural. Although there are some flaws on the splicing, it can be said that this person's workmanship is very detailed. After the later addition, he must be very sure of the format and font size. This person should be a famous artist. Wei Chen suspects that this person makes a living by making a living by fakes and is particularly proficient in characters."

"It's good to do it." Zhao Yulong was very happy. He heard that Ouyang Hui had handled the case very early, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. This time he saw it, it was an eye-opener. She didn't know that Ouyang had used this trick in a modern undercover agent and made a profit of millions of dollars. Zhao Yu ordered: "It's okay to go around, so let's go to the palace for trial."

Ouyang said: "Weichen said he has questions about Zhang Jiner's body burns."

Song Tixing asked, "I don't know what the question is."

"This county is a specialty for incense. There are only two stores selling sandalwood in Yangping. But the officials have never purchased it. You can find the two shops and shopkeepers to make certificates. If it is done by the officials, then the officials can only buy it from other places. Does the officials have to go to other places to buy incense in order to abuse a maid?"

"It's reasonable." Song Tixing said to Zhao Yu: "I have investigated. Lord Ou does not believe in Buddhism, so he has no relatives in his family to offer incense. Not to mention sandalwood, even fine fragrance has not been purchased in Yangping." Of course, this does not mean that the Ouyang family has no tools.

"There is another point." Ouyang said: "In fact, many people outside misunderstand that the Guan family is a pond. Since it is a pond, they always raise fish, grow lotus, etc. But the pond under Xiaguan is paved with bluestone, and the four walls are made of stone. This project was completed in one or two years after Weichen came to Yangping. But Xiaguan strangely, if there is only fine sand or moss in the corpse, how could there be mud? Xiaguan thought that Zhang Jin'er's body might be soaked elsewhere and looked for an opportunity to move in."

Song Tixing said: "This is indeed not confirmed. But it is always the same..."

"Sir Tixing, this water is changed every three days. Ou Ping and I like to play with water. Even in winter, they go into the water to play. Yangping is backing the mountain to the north, and this water is brought into the well from the mountain and connected to the pool when changing the water. The drainage channel connects iron pipes to the ditch, flush the garbage thrown in the ditch along the way to the clearing river. Although the pool is not cleaned every time the water is changed, if there is a little fine sand, it will definitely be cleaned and will not deposit into mud. Zhang Jin'er has mud on his mouth and nose, which is obviously because the layer is filled with mud water, and the mud covers the ears, mouth and nose. "

Song Tixing said: "Come, go and inspect the pool."

The headmaster clasped his fists: "Yes" was actually just a dozen steps away. Several imperial guards and yamen runners took off their clothes and jumped into the pond. After a while, the headmaster rewarded: "The reward is that the sides are indeed clean, the bottom of the water is very slippery, and there is only a little mud in the corpse."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "I can't tell you, Ouyang, but you can enjoy it." The biggest thing in the palace is to take a shower, which is incomparable to Ouyang's generous aura.

Cai Jing, who had never spoken to the case, suddenly said: "Although I don't know, just by relying on these two questions, it seems that Lord Ou is not without the possibility of killing Zhang Jin'er. This case is known to everyone in the world. If it is not handled as an ironclad case, not only will Lord Ou be affected, but even His Majesty's reputation will be damaged."

Cai Jing's statement makes sense. Ouyang Neng provides all the things that are easily overturned, and there are countless possible superficial evidence. Although Ouyang can explain why he signed the contract himself, it cannot prove whether Zhang Jiner's contract was passive. Ouyang can prove that the swimming pool was not the first scene to throw the body, but it cannot explain that it was not himself or that he ordered someone to set up a suspicion array. As for Ouyang's habit of not lighting incense, it is even more outrageous. If it is a modern unified understanding of the suspicion, no judgment, Ouyang must be innocent. But looking at modern times, he also knows that the limelight Li Gang denied the suspicion, and ignored the iron evidence and sent the dynasty to the trial table. The judge inexplicably sentenced him to more than ten years in prison. This is the consequence of a bureaucrat who thought he was smarter than the world under the influence of the consistent feudal idea.

This is true in modern times, let alone in ancient times. Fortunately, the feudal court boss Zhao Yu trusts Ouyang. Of course, even if she doesn't trust her, she hopes Ouyang is fine. Zhao Yu thought for a long time and said, "Ouyang, give you five days, you can mobilize Yangping's imperial guards and inner guards to help handle the case. The Gyeonggi Presidency Department must also be careful. But if there is no way to prove your Ouyang's innocence in five days, I can only let the three departments take over the trial."

Ouyang said: "Your Majesty also asks you to release Zhan Ming first."
