The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 385 Interrogation
Zhou Mingsheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized, "You were the one who helped the master of Qingwu courtyard in Qingwu courtyard that day?!"

Yang Qingyuan nodded of course.

"I am close friends with the owner of the Qingwu courtyard. That day, I was entrusted by her to go to the Qingwu courtyard! It happened that Boss Zhou led people to make trouble there."

"Master Yang misunderstood, Zhou definitely didn't go there to make trouble!"

Zhou Mingsheng misunderstood in an instant. He mistakenly thought that the master of Qingwu Courtyard was Yang Qingyuan's concubine. Yang Qingyuan only pursued him because of the affairs in Qingwu Courtyard that day, so he immediately confessed and explained.

"Master Yang! You must trust me! I really didn't know about your relationship that day, otherwise I would not have dared to offend Master Qingwu. Do you remember! I listened to your last song at that time Shi, I gave you a gift at that time!"

Holding a teacup in his hand, Yang Qingyuan smiled without saying a word.

Seeing Yang Qingyuan's appearance, Zhou Mingsheng also calmed down.

Yang Qingyuan's reputation is known to everyone in the capital, Zhou Mingsheng would not believe it if he said that he wanted to deal with him because of a conflict!
"Master Yang, what exactly do you want to do?!"

Yang Qingyuan put down the teacup in his hand, "I am the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, of course you are here to investigate a case! There is a case that requires your assistance in the investigation!"

Although Zhou Mingsheng knew that the visitor was not kind, he still agreed!

"Master Yang, don't worry! What I, Zhou Mingsheng, admire the most is an upright official like you who pleads for the people. If there is anything I can do to help, I am obliged!"

"That would be great! Boss Zhou assisted Dali Temple in the investigation, and he is indeed a good citizen of Dazhou! After this case is settled, I will definitely issue a certificate of good citizenship to Boss Zhou on behalf of Dali Temple, so as to commend and encourage Boss Zhou. Act of kindness!"

Of course, the premise is that Zhou Mingsheng is still alive!

"Thank you, sir!" Zhou Mingsheng felt that the tense atmosphere just now was easing up.

"Then let's start!" Yang Qingyuan motioned to Ji Yaohua, who was a scribe, to start recording.

"Boss Zhou, where were you on the eighth day of April this year!?"

Yang Qingyuan's first question made Zhou Mingsheng's heart sink.

Zhou Mingsheng clearly remembered this day, the eighth day of April was the day Liu Xue was raped and murdered.

But Zhou Mingsheng couldn't show it on his face, "Ah?! The eighth day of April! I have to think about it."

Zhou Mingsheng pretended to think for a while before he said, "It should be in the capital of God! I can't remember exactly!"

"Oh?! Really?! Since Boss Zhou can't remember it! I'll help Boss Zhou remember it! Wannian County, Wanli Casino!? I wonder if Boss Zhou still has any impressions?!"

The expression on Zhou Mingsheng's face froze for a moment, and then he acted like he had suddenly realized something.

"Master Yang, when I said that, I remembered that on the eighth day of April, I was supposed to be in Wannian County to deal with the Wanli Gambling House... What did Master Yang ask you for?!"

Yang Qingyuan didn't answer him, but instead questioned, "Did Boss Zhou really forget, or is there something he can't tell me?"

"Master Yang, you can't talk nonsense!? I dare not lie to Master Yang. It's because I have too much business in Gyeonggi, and I often run around in Gyeonggi. I can't remember!"

"I can't remember!? It's okay, I will help Boss Zhou remember well! Boss Zhou, don't worry!"

These words made Zhou Mingsheng even more anxious. The surname Yang is so confident that he must have already found out some of the facts, otherwise he would not dare to go to the East Palace without evidence.

"Boss Zhou, there are testimonies in Wannian County. You have been in Wannian County from February to mid-April this year. I don't know what kind of business you are doing?!"

Zhou Mingsheng was taken aback when he heard someone testify, but then realized that this was just a trick by Yang Qingyuan.

"Your Excellency, you are joking. What kind of business are you doing!? There is something wrong with the business. Your Excellency may also know that this gambling house was opened by me and Feng Qian, the son of Lord Ying..."

"I don't know!" Yang Qingyuan deliberately disrupted Zhou Mingsheng's rhythm.

"...Yes, Feng Qian and I opened it together, and the gambling shop in Wannian County is managed by people from the Duke of Ying's mansion. It was my negligence. , a human life lawsuit that drives people to death!"

Zhou Mingsheng straightened out the messy thoughts just now, and continued to explain.

"Because the gambling house has been managed by Duke Ying's mansion before, so in order to avoid suspicion and also to show his attitude, Mr. Feng asked me to deal with the Wanli Gambling House in Wannian County. This matter, Mr. Feng Do you know?!"

"I asked Feng Qian! Is there any problem?! But does it take so long to deal with such a matter?!"

Zhou Mingsheng saw that Yang Qingyuan seemed to believe a little bit, and immediately poured out his bitterness, "Sir, you don't know how treacherous those unscrupulous people are. In order to settle this life lawsuit, I paid them a whole 500 taels of silver! Then they will definitely let it go .It took a little more time because the family was troublesome!"

The corner of Yang Qingyuan's mouth raised a sneer of disdain.

"That's right! I checked, and the family has moved out now! According to their neighbors, they went to seek refuge with distant relatives!"

What distant relatives, Yang Qingyuan thinks, most of this family has been murdered and thrown into some barren mountain.

"But someone said that they once saw Boss Zhou and a young woman arm in arm at an art exhibition, and had a great conversation!!"

"Slander, this is slander!!"

Zhou Mingsheng heard the words and shouted, "Master Yang, I have been working diligently in handling affairs in Wannian County, how could I go out and swim with some woman?!"

"Hehe," Yang Qingyuan chuckled, "Boss Zhou is getting nervous. In my big week, it's not illegal to swim with women. Why are you so excited?!"

Zhou Mingsheng also realized that he had overreacted.

"On the eighth day of April, does Boss Zhou know that something big happened in Wannian County?"

Zhou Mingsheng kept thinking, what exactly did Yang Qingyuan want to ask? !How should I respond and respond.

"My lord, Zhou is in a hurry to urinate. I don't know if I can go to make it easier!" Zhou Mingsheng suddenly felt the urge to urinate when he was thinking. He drank too much water when he was waiting for Yang Qingyuan, and now the urge to urinate was like a tide.

Yang Qingyuan was delighted, this is what he wanted.

Zhou Mingsheng was obviously mentally prepared when he came here, and it was difficult to find any flaws in ordinary inquiries.

Let him urinate urgently, and then not let him relieve, so that Zhou Mingsheng can become irritable physically.

"Boss Zhou, don't be impatient. There aren't many questions. After I'm done asking, I'll let Boss Zhou go!"

Seeing Yang Qingyuan's refusal, Zhou Mingsheng could only smile sullenly, and said while holding back his urine.

"Zhou has heard about one or two, and it seems that there is a life lawsuit!?"

"Yes! I don't know why, but a white jade fan pendant belonging to Boss Zhou appeared at the murder scene?!"

Said Yang Qingyuan took out the jade pendant.

When Zhou Mingsheng saw the jade pendant, he knew that Yang Qingyuan had found something wrong with Li Shou's case.

"My lord, this jade pendant does not belong to me! This belongs to Young Master Feng Qian!?"

"So, does Boss Zhou think that Mr. Feng is the real culprit in this case?!"

Zhou Mingsheng would not say this directly.

"I don't know about that! But this jade pendant is definitely not mine!"

"But before Boss Zhou, I have already asked Mr. Feng! He said that the jade pendant seems to be lost?! It was lost in the Songhe Tower in the capital of God!"

Zhou Mingsheng didn't understand what Yang Qingyuan wanted to do with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. !Coupled with the constant urge to urinate, my heart became even more disturbed.

Anyone who has experienced this kind of irritability that wants to relieve but can't, knows it.

"I remembered, there is such a thing! At that time, we also found someone to search the entire Songhe Tower, but we couldn't find the whereabouts of the white jade fan pendant."

Yang Qingyuan could sense that Zhou Mingsheng was already irritable.

"By the way, I forgot to tell Boss Zhou! I have already found out that Boss Zhou is the owner behind Songhe Tower."

"You are talking nonsense!!"

Zhou Mingsheng was obviously in a hurry!
"Master Yang, you can't take this kind of joke!"

Regardless of Zhou Mingsheng's impatience, Yang Qingyuan clapped his hands three times, and seven or eight people in various brocade robes came in from outside.

Let them all stand beside Zhou Mingsheng, and Zhou Mingsheng stood up at the same time. At this time, Zhou Mingsheng didn't know what Yang Qingyuan wanted to do, and most of his thoughts were already spent on suppressing his desire to urinate.

After everyone stood still, Yang Qingyuan clapped three times again, and a fat man with big ears came in from the door of the interrogation room.

"Chen Dafu, take a closer look, among these people, which one is the boss of your Songhe Tower!?"

Fatty identified them one by one from the beginning.

Zhou Mingsheng saw the fat man but smiled disdainfully. This man is not a high-level person in Songhe Tower, so how could he recognize him.

Zhou Mingsheng, who was in a hurry to urinate, straightened up his back generously, he was not afraid of someone Zhou!Just come!
When Chen Dafu walked up to Zhou Mingsheng, he said without hesitation, "My lord, it's him!"

This result made Zhou Mingsheng unbelievable. He had never seen this person in front of him, and he was not a senior executive of Songhe Tower. How could he recognize himself? !
This is not right!

"My lord, this is slander! This person is not from Songhe Tower at all."

Chen Dafu saw that Zhou Mingsheng did not admit it, and immediately opened his mouth.

"My lord, I don't. I'm the chef of Songhelou, or our boss's personal chef. Whether he eats at home or in Songhelou, he only eats my dishes! You have to take me with you wherever you go." !"

Zhou Mingsheng, who was impatient and urgent to urinate, had gradually lost his mind at this moment!
"You spitting blood, I don't have a personal cook?! I don't even know this person?!"

"Oh?! This is so strange! Chen Dafu just said that it is the owner's personal chef of Songhelou, why did boss Zhou bring it in by himself?!"

"I!……"

Only then did Zhou Mingsheng realize that he had said something wrong just now.

Perhaps from the beginning of the tea to the current recognition, it was all designed by Yang Qingyuan!It's just to mess yourself up.

"You just made a slip of the tongue?!"

Yang Qingyuan had already mastered the rhythm, and after waving for everyone to leave, he took out a porcelain cup with his right hand wearing a whaleskin glove.

It was the porcelain cup that Zhou Mingsheng used to drink water just now.

"Does Boss Zhou still know this porcelain cup?! This is the cup that Boss Zhou drank tea from just now! Today I will teach Boss Zhou a knowledge point—fingerprints!"

Zhou Mingsheng was a merchant, so he naturally knew the fingerprints.

Fingerprints are used in commercial transactions to prove the identity of the signer during the signing of an agreement. Signatures can be forged, but fingerprints are not.

For all bulk commodity transactions, or the transfer, sale and leasing of shops, merchant ships, etc., the agreement will be signed with fingerprints to ensure its effectiveness.

It is not a secret that Dali Temple can test fingerprints.

However, its extraction method and even the retention time of the fingerprints have been one of the core secrets of Dali Temple.

"I don't know why, but there are Boss Zhou's fingerprints on this white jade fan pendant!"

With a flick of his fingers, Yang Qingyuan shot out the candles in the interrogation room with a wisp of sword energy.

At this time, the light was dim, but the white jade fan pendant in Yang Qingyuan's hand actually glowed fluorescent light, and it happened to be in the shape of a fingerprint.

Then Yang Qingyuan sprinkled some powder on the porcelain cup.

The same fingerprint appeared in front of Zhou Mingsheng.

"I don't know why, the fingerprints on this white jade fan pendant are exactly the same as those on the porcelain cup Boss Zhou just used!? I don't know how Boss Zhou will explain this!?"

Zhou Mingsheng's mind was in a mess. Under the double anxiety of psychology and physiology, Zhou Mingsheng was already in a mess.

"My lord, Feng Qian and I are close friends. I have also played with this jade pendant. Isn't it normal to find my fingerprints on it?!"

"Hehehe! The ignorant are fearless!" Just as Zhou Mingsheng was about to get up, Yang Qingyuan pressed Zhou Mingsheng's shoulders, and with the luck of his true essence, Zhou Mingsheng, who wanted to get up, was pressed down on the seat.

"Boss Zhou, do you know?! The method we use to extract fingerprints is not mature enough! At present, we can only extract fingerprints of four to five months old, and we have not extracted Feng Qian's fingerprints on it."

Zhou Mingsheng's left hand in his sleeve had already begun to tremble slightly, and there were already traces of himself on the evidence of Liu Xue's case.

"We also mentioned just now that Feng Qian's jade pendant was lost when he was eating at Songhe Tower, but your fingerprints can be found on it, which means that four to five months after the jade pendant was lost, , you have touched this jade pendant before!"

"I……"

Zhou Mingsheng was at a loss for words for a while.

He didn't expect that after such a long time, the fingerprints could be extracted from this white jade fan pendant as evidence against him.

"Boss Zhou, don't worry, I still have something here!"

Speaking of which, Yang Qingyuan took out an iron sword from the sword box beside him.

After Zhou Mingsheng saw it, he was already sweating slightly on his back. Not only did he know this sword, but he had also touched it!
A piece of white jade fan pendant from a long time ago, Yang Qingyuan can extract fingerprints, let alone this black iron sword? !
At that time, he saw the word "jade" on the hilt of the sword, so he wanted to keep the sword as his own and give it to his sister, but he was shocked by the reputation of the owner of the sword, so he gave it up.

This sword definitely has his own fingerprints on it!
