Chapter 116 After the Night Trial (Third Watch)
"It was my natal elder brother who said that he could find a good way out for my son. As a woman, how would I know about those things in the officialdom? If it wasn't for Fan Shoukang's doting on the son of a concubine, I wouldn't be able to..."

"Okay! I know it's this way, I don't have time to listen!" Qin Wubing waved his hand impatiently: "I told you, your family is enough, the court can't kill so many officials at once Right? After you speak out, how should Prince Xiang deal with it?"

"My son is going to die, why are they doing nothing?!" Xu's voice broke in anger.

"Who is to blame? You do whatever your natal brother asks you to do? Why are you so obedient? Why didn't you know how to think about the consequences at that moment? Besides, it was your brother anyway. You don't say it, but you are staying rooted for your Xu family." , why bother?"

"You tell the prince, kill their family in exchange for my son's life!" Xu's expression was almost crazy.

Qin Wubing made a soothing gesture, and then said gently: "Calm down first, we can't decide who to kill and not to kill, you have to think about this matter clearly, and I will be fine if you explain it slowly. Report back to the prince, and see if there is room for maneuver before noon tomorrow."

Xu nodded fiercely.

"Come on, untie her, find someone to change and wash her, and then prepare some food!" Qin Wubing finished shouting, and said to Xu with a pleasant face: "Eat something first, and then we can talk slowly. , there is still time until noon tomorrow."

Xie Yu's face was sullen, but his heart was turbulent. What kind of interrogation method is this?With a little push and pull, the criminal can voluntarily confess, without even mentioning today's murder case!
Xie Yu turned his head to look at Qin Wubing, his eyes were full of admiration, but Qin Wubing winked at him, very pleased with the success of his scheme.

……

When Qin Wubing and Xie Yu left Fan Shoukang's mansion, it was already midnight.

They didn't ride horses, they were escorted by several soldiers, and they walked around.

Xie Yu asked: "Today's interrogation, was Captain Qin planning ahead of time?"

Qin Wubing chuckled and said: "I have a general idea in my mind, I will act on the spot when I see her!"

"How do you know she will submit?"

"Psychological! Her husband is already a first-rank court official. There can only be two reasons for her tossing around like this. One is that her natal family has been with people like Xichuan from a very early age. In his bones, there is another kind of dissatisfaction with the current situation!"

Xie Yu pondered for a moment and said:
"Fan Shoukang was already married when he entered the official position. He had no one in the court. He had suffered a lot and was tactful, so he had a chance. Therefore, when he got married back then, he couldn't have married a famous family. I'm afraid that Shi is just the daughter of an ordinary family, and it's impossible for Xichuan to look up to such a family."

"Yes! If the Xu family was related to Xichuan, the late emperor would not have allowed him to be the governor of the river! Therefore, it is only possible that the Xu family is dissatisfied with the current situation! What is the situation? Fan Shoukang's backyard is full of women and children! He I am from a poor family, and I don't value my concubines as much as those of high-ranking families. With so many children, who can say which one I like? My elder brother has always complained that he is not favored at home, but the prince said that the most rare thing in Marquis Wuding is this concubine. Fourth son, I have arranged everything for my eldest brother, but my eldest brother still doesn't appreciate it."

Xie Yu didn't care to listen to Lin Huai's housework, but asked:
"Ms. Xu has this heart disease. Her natal brother knew about it and used it. These are all easy to infer, but you let her follow up and tell the truth. Can this method be used in other interrogations?"

Qin Wubing shook his head and said:
"After all, Mrs. Xu is a woman in the inner courtyard. It is not easy to calmly silence her when she suddenly ransacked her home. However, the weaknesses that those people can take advantage of are also the weaknesses that we can take advantage of! The one who will be beheaded at noon is Fan Shoukang, The prince didn't say who was implicated, I just tried it at first, and found that she was not worried about ransacking her home and being escorted to Beijing for trial, so I understood that Mrs. Xu knew about those people's arrangements! They were sure that they would not escape the flood this year, It also shows that they are well prepared and just wait for God to help!"

"It is precisely because Mrs. Xu knew something inside that you feinted and forced her to tell the truth."

"If she doesn't know the inside story, I don't need to eat the pot of melons, and I will leave. It's just a waste of chess. There is really no need to waste time."

Xie Yu bowed his head in thought, Qin Wubing said again:
"We often encounter cases where there is no progress due to insufficient evidence. At this time, we need to make bold assumptions, introduce a few lines, and verify them one by one. In the process of verification, one of the keys is to observe the suspect's Expressions and movements, so as to determine whether your inference is correct, if it is correct, you will have a direction, if it is wrong, change your mind immediately!"

Xie Yu listened carefully.

"The interrogation of Mrs. Xu tonight is mainly to see how much she knows. If you start talking about the murder and silence, it will increase her self-confidence. Regardless of whether we catch the murderer in the end, she will achieve the goal of silence!"

"So you didn't mention it."

"No need! Let her be confused first, then startled, then frightened, don't give her time to think about it, stir her emotions to the brink of collapse, and then give her a sweet date, just ask and say what she wants However, she may be regretting it now." Qin Wubing laughed badly, and then said seriously: "If you are a determined person, this method is useless!"

Xie Yu didn't say anything, just cupped his hands at Qin Wubing.

The two came to a street corner, Xie Yu said goodbye and went home, several soldiers were divided into two groups, one group sent Xie Yu, and the other sent Qin Wubing.

The four of Holmes followed behind, yawning profusely, but Qin Wubing kept frowning.

Until the gate of the post house, Qin Wubing thanked the soldiers and watched them leave before entering the post house with the four of Holmes.

The postman greeted the door, and just about to speak, Qin Wubing made a silent gesture, and then several people heard the movement of "thumping, thumping", like the impact of two pieces of wood, but the sound was not loud, faintly visible .

It was midnight at this time, and the surroundings were completely silent. The post house was not brightly lit with candles, only the candles at the door and the stairs were left. With this soundtrack, an inexplicably terrifying atmosphere rose in the post house.

The four of Holmes gently drew out their swords, and protected Qin Wubing in the middle. They carefully observed the surroundings, looking for the place where the sound came from. The door slowly opened with a harsh 'squeak' sound. The eyes of the four of Holmes stared like copper bells, but the postman raised his arm and covered his eyes with his sleeve.

Only Qin Wubing squinted his eyes, staring at the ground there.

The door opened, only to see a man in white, with disheveled hair covering his face, left the crooked person, and floated into the post house with his feet off the ground, stopped at the door, and did not move.

The postman boldly raised his sleeves and took a look, but he forgot, he closed his eyes and passed out.
