A little weak chicken came to Dali Temple

Chapter 138 138 Pearl Hairpin Case (10)

Except for the interrogation room and the duty room, Dali Temple is dark and dark. It is already the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. In two or three hours it will be the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and there are only two days left for the New Year.

In the interrogation room, Lu Sicheng was sitting in the main interrogation seat, with Pei Jingning on the left and Yeats on the right.

The confessions from tonight's interrogation directly determine whether the case of Cen Shilang can be dismissed.

Jin Niangzi, a singing girl from Guixi Class, was the first person to be tried.

Yeats asked directly, "On New Year's Eve, you sang only one song and then left the lobby of Guangju Building. Where did you go after you left?"

"I didn't kill anyone, it has nothing to do with me..." The golden lady was shouting and grabbing the ground, and did not answer Yeats' question directly.

Tengchong signaled the guard to give the woman a kick. Lady Jin was so kicked that she bared her teeth, but she didn't dare to behave any more.

"Let me ask you again, where did you go after leaving the lobby?"

"I didn't go anywhere. I felt a little uncomfortable and went straight out of Guangju Building to go back to the singing class."

"Who can prove it?"

"The mute uncle who guards the door in the singing class."

Yeats's eyes were full of authority, "Then he went out from the back door, gave the little beggar a hairpin, and asked the little beggar to hand it to Mr. Cen, the Minister of Tobe, that's right!"

Mrs. Jin had a stubborn look on her face: "How could I, a city woman, know such a big official? If I had known such a big official, I would have been very popular and drunk."

Zhang Jin brought in the dumb uncle who was guarding the gate and the little beggar.

Seeing these two people, Lady Jin's eyes flickered.

Uncle Dumb signed in sign language, meaning he saw her going out the back door.

On a cold day, sweat beaded on the forehead of the golden lady.

Yeats glanced at her coldly and asked the little boy warmly: "Is she this woman?"

The little beggar looked left and right, "That woman's face was mostly covered that night..."

Before the little beggar finished speaking, the two detectives quickly took a light purple shawl and covered the golden lady's face, leaving only one eye exposed.

Yeats asked the little boy: "Is that so?"

The little beggar nodded affirmatively, "It's her."

When Mrs. Jin saw the light purple shawl, she collapsed and fell to the cold ground. "This...I..." Wasn't this stuffed into the manhole by her?Why are you here?

She panicked!
Yeats stood up and walked to the pale golden lady, "Do you think this light purple shawl looks familiar?"

Mrs. Jin subconsciously looked at the small hole in the corner of the shawl. It was the hole that she dug out nervously when she received the pearl hairpin. The hole that was not dug out was her surname - Jin, which had now been completely dug out by her.

"You...you..." She looked at the row of officials in front of her in horror. Do they all know?

In the dark and cold interrogation room, sweat continued to break out on Lady Jin's forehead. She really didn't kill anyone, but...

Yeats put his hands behind his hands and slowly told her the prelude to the murder.

"Jin family, to be precise, Xu Jin family, but you ran away without a matchmaker. The Xu family did not recognize you as their daughter-in-law. You and Xu Da ran to the capital to make a living. You found a choir to sing small songs. After a month, The income is not bad, enough to pay rent and put food on the table.

But Mr. Xu, besides his face, can still see through it. He is proficient in all kinds of food, drink and entertainment. He is like a fish in water in the prosperous place of the capital. He doesn't even look for a living to support his family. He spends the money you earn gambling during the day and gambling at night. Nine out of ten bets. Lose, just a few days before New Year's Eve, he lost another hundred taels of silver.

You can't come up with such a big sum at all. Just when you are at a loss, someone finds you and asks you to hand over a pearl hairpin to a certain person and you can get 100 taels of silver as reward. Of course, you can't do this in the capital. For a long time, just handing over a pearl hairpin costs 100 taels, you don’t believe that such a good thing can happen..."

Jin interrupted Yeats in a panic, "Sir, I really didn't kill the person, I just handed him a hairpin... really..."

In a hurry, Jin took action.Lu Si Cheng breathed a visible sigh of relief and looked at Pei Shaoqing on his left.

Pei Jingning's face was stern, and under his brows were a pair of cold, clear eyes, which were full of oppression. Lu Sicheng quietly withdrew his gaze and continued to watch Yeats' trial case.

"Did you really hand me a hairpin?"

Seeing that the official was staring at her, Jin was flustered and turned her head to the side. She didn't kill anyone anyway, so she was trying to get away with it.

"Who can you expect to be lured back to the private room in the Landscape Room on the third floor of Guangju Building by your graceful light purple figure, wrapped up and draped?"

Mr. Ming Mingguan spoke softly and slowly, which sounded like thunder to Jin's ears.

"Sir...Sir, how come you know everything?" Jin looked at Yeats desperately, "Handling things and leading people to the private room on the third floor, what crime will I be sentenced for?"

Unexpectedly, I ran away to the capital with my beloved. I thought it was a good life, but I didn't expect that it was the beginning of a nightmare. The loving man turned into a rogue gambler. In order to pay off the man's money, he became an accomplice and killed such a big court official. , can she still live?

Every woman thinks that when she gets together with the man she loves, she will live a happy life from then on. Unexpectedly, all the troubles in the rest of her life will be caused by the man who was 'very good' to her.

Jin was escorted down and walked to the door. She still couldn't figure it out, so she turned around and asked: "How did you know that I led Mr. Cen upstairs wearing a light purple shawl, and how did you find the light purple shawl I threw away?" Purple shawl?”

Yeats looked at the little beggar standing aside.

"he?"

"After I gave the copper coins, I clearly saw him leaving. How could he know?"

Yeats looked at the little boy with admiration: "He has been wandering around the capital since he could walk. He has met all kinds of people, and he can live safely until now. What do you think?"

"I..." Jin covered her face and cried loudly, "This is all life, all life!"

Yeats said coldly: "If you don't want people to know you, you have to do nothing."

The little beggar sighed, "I'll give you a gold hairpin. I almost lost my life. Fortunately, I was smart and hid in the dog hole in Dali Temple."

In the serious interrogation room, everyone was dumbfounded when they suddenly heard the little boy's words.

Ye Zhi looked at Pei Jingning.

He turned to look at Mo Song.

Mo Song immediately understood what his master meant, "I will make arrangements after the case is over."

The little beggar knew what was going on. Knowing that he was going to be taken in by the noble man, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him. People with emotional intelligence will not be too bad in life in the future.

The next person to be interrogated was Madam Jin, the former number one in Manchun Court.

In the cold interrogation room of Dali Temple, under the dim oil lamp, even though her facial features were hazy, she still exuded a charming beauty. Her makeup was simple and elegant, and her face was stunning. She was worthy of being the top star of Manchun Academy.

Yeats softly recited a sentence: "The green and green Zi Jin lingers in my heart. Even if I don't go, Zi Ning will not inherit the sound."

Lady Jin had no expression on her face. She knelt down when asked to do so and kowtowed when asked to do so. She was like a wooden figure and had no reaction to the poem Yeats read.

"Su Jinyin, I called you right."

The dumb Su Jinyin still lowered his head and said nothing.

"Su is your mother's maiden name, and your father's surname is Cen. 25 Six years ago, Cen Shilang went to a certain mountain academy to study and met a gentle young lady dressed in purple. Later he found out that this young lady dressed in purple was the wife of a gentleman from the academy. I sincerely asked to marry my daughter, and two years later, I gave birth to a daughter named Su Jinyin, and another year..."

Before Yeats finished telling his story, Su Jinyin raised her head and said, "I killed the man."
