Great Lawyer

Chapter 838 Layer upon layer ([-])

Zhou Yan questioned in an orderly manner, and everyone looked at him one after another, thinking that he was quite capable.

"Mr. Zhou is indeed an expert." Liu Zhen praised him endlessly, "The inquiry is orderly, not rushed or chaotic."

Zhou Yan cupped his hands and said: "The head of the family is too famous, Zhou is just asking step by step."

He is not proud and complacent, Liu Zhen is even more satisfied.

Ye Hu was brought in. He was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He was small and thin, which did not match his name.But I can also understand that if it wasn't because he is thin and has no other skills, it would be impossible for him to come to the school to do light things, and he would have been sent to the army to serve as a soldier.

"Ye Hu," Zhou Yan asked, "I'll ask you to answer, and I'll answer after you think it through."

Ye Hu should be.

Everyone looked at Zhou Yan, waiting for him to ask a question.

"When did Mr. Peng come back yesterday? When was the last time you saw him?"

Ye Hu replied: "Mr. Peng came back with several young masters after the school ended yesterday. It should be halfway through the application time. I happened to be folding clothes in Mr. Jun's room, and I came over when I heard the sound. The last time I saw you." When it comes to Mr. Peng, after dinner, around the time of the garrison, Mr. Peng asked me to boil the bath water and wait for him to come back."

"Then he went out. I boiled the water and waited for more than an hour. Mr. Peng hadn't come back yet. I was really sleepy, so I went to sleep in the kitchen next door where Mr. Jun gave me to sleep. I was a shallow sleeper. If Mr. Peng comes back, I will hear about it, who knows that when the morning comes..."

"When you wake up, just...just..."

Ye Hu bowed his head and knelt, trembling all over, obviously very scared.

Although this person is a servant, his speech is clear and well-organized. He looks scared and nervous, but he said everything that should be said.

Zhou Yan looked at the other party, and asked again: "You mean, Mr. Peng didn't call you when he came back, but he reboiled the water himself?"

"I warm the water in a pot, and put firewood in the stove to burn it slowly, so that the water will still be hot and usable even at dawn," Ye Hu said.

"But Mr. Peng poured the bath water himself."

"So, you don't know when he will come back?"

"Yes!" Ye Hu said, "I really don't know."

"Do you think it's normal for him to pour water and take a bath by himself instead of calling you when he comes back?" Zhou Yanzhi asked.

Ye Hu hesitated a little, and suddenly Lu said: "It's not normal. Although You Peng has a good temper, he is usually lazy. I know my son very well."

"If he doesn't want to bother others, he should just go to bed without taking a shower, instead of fetching water by himself."

Zhou Yan looked at Mrs. Lu, raised his eyebrows and said, "Madam, someone fetched water for him?"

"For sure." Lu Shi said, "My son must not have died suddenly, but was killed by someone."

Lu Shi said, staring at Ye Hu closely, she forced her to ask: "Why didn't you say that when my son came back yesterday afternoon, he thought you were lazy and reprimanded you?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Yes!" Liu Youlun followed suit, "There was a fight at the time."

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Lun, please tell me in detail, who fought with whom?"

"That's right." Liu Youlun said, "At that time we followed Brother Peng back to the yard to play, and Brother Peng brought gifts for each of us, who knew that as soon as we entered the yard, we found that the mess in the yard was all dust. No one tidied up the room carefully, and the quilt hadn’t been dried, it was still the dirty quilt that he had covered when he left.”

"Brother Peng was very angry, and called Ye Hu to ask him." Liu Youlun said, staring at Ye Hu, and said, "Ye Hu said that Brother Jun has been around, so for more than a month, he has been mainly next door. The side will come less."

"Brother Peng asked him to tidy up the room immediately and change the bedding."

"We went to the study room and found that all the pens, ink, paper and inkstones in the study room had been used by someone, and there was still used paper that had been pulled into balls on the floor."

"No one but Ye Hu would do this. Brother Peng never likes others touching his things, so he scolded Ye Hu severely." Liu Youlun said, "Who knows, Brother Jun and Feng who were playing next door If you hear it, come over and give Ye Hu a heads up."

"Brother Feng and Brother Peng started fighting." Liu Youlun pointed to the injuries on Liu Youpeng's body, "These injuries may be left over from the fight."

In the school, everyone knew that Liu Zifeng and Liu Youpeng were incompatible.The two could hardly speak, and would bicker and fight whenever they spoke.

"What else?" Liu Yi said to the students outside, "Find someone to find Liu Zifeng and Liu Zijun."

Someone should be looking for someone.

"Ye Hu, why didn't you say that just now?" Zhou Yan asked.

Ye Hu replied: "Master is right to scold the villain, the villain shouldn't mention it and can't remember it."

This is the rule, of course you have to answer like this on the scene.

But it is obviously not convincing to say so now, Lu Shi sneered, and said: "You are a pariah, you are quite smart, and you know how to avoid the important and take the light of the answer."

"Ma'am, the villain doesn't mean that." Ye Hu replied.

Lu now suspects that it was Ye Hu and Liu Zifeng who killed his son in partnership to make it look like his son drowned in a bath.

Liu Zifeng and Liu Zijun came in together.

The two are cousins, Liu Zifeng is 21 years old, and they are engaged to get married at the end of the year. Liu Zijun is two years younger than him.

"Young masters," Zhou Yan, who was already the presiding judge, stepped forward and asked politely, "I don't know where you two were last night."

Both Liu Youpeng died, so when they answered the question, they were a little annoyed and a little nervous.Liu Zijun replied: "I didn't want to live here because I had a quarrel with Brother Peng yesterday. I went home without dinner and came to school in the morning."

"I, I didn't go home. I came back to sleep in the middle of the night. Kuang Yu, who waited in my yard, knew. I took a shower after I came back, and he got me water." Liu Zifeng said.

"I fell asleep after taking a bath, and when I got up in the morning, I heard that Youpeng had an accident."

Liu Min asked: "You, did you say yesterday afternoon that you wanted to kill Youpeng?"

Liu Zifeng was startled, and suddenly looked at Liu Zijun.He did say this, and he said it to Liu Zijun at the time.

How could Liu Min know, that's only what Liu Zijun said.

"I didn't," Liu Zijun shook his head, "I didn't say that."

Liu Min listened and said, "You don't care who told me, you only said this and you didn't say it."

"I said it, but, but this is an angry word." Liu Zifeng said, "When I, Youpeng and I were fighting yesterday, I also pointed at his nose and told him to die, and when he hit me, he also said to kill me. killed."

"It's just talking harshly, there's no other meaning. No matter how much I hate him, I don't dare to kill him."

Liu Mindao: "But you are alive, Youpeng is dead!"

"What do you mean by this?" Liu Zifeng said excitedly, and looked at Liu Zhen again, "Patriarch, I, I didn't kill anyone, you can't listen to them."

"I just disagree with him, and it is impossible to really kill him."

Liu Zhen didn't speak.

"Doctor," Zhou Yan asked the doctor, "Can you confirm when Mr. Peng died?"

The doctor replied: "It looks like it should be after Haishi last night and before Choushi."

This time span is a bit long, but it is also understandable. Doctors are doctors after all, not specialized in autopsy.

"Did you have someone to prove your whereabouts within this time?" Zhou Yan asked Liu Zifeng.

Liu Zifeng said: "I was still playing in the Yichun courtyard around the time of Hai, and I returned to the academy halfway through. The boy who opened the door can prove it, and Chunlan in the Yichun courtyard can also prove it."

"Kuang Yu can prove it after he comes back, but after taking a bath, no one can prove it."

"After all, I'm sleeping, who can keep someone by my side all the time."

Zhou Yan looked at Liu Zijun.

"I went home and looked at it for a while and then fell asleep. I don't know what time it is, it's early anyway. It's dawn when I wake up." Liu Zijun said.

"What about you?" Zhou Yan asked Ye Hu.

Ye Hu said: "I went to sleep around Haishi, and Mr. Jun didn't come back at night. I don't know who else can prove it to me."

"Understood, the three of you should go back separately. I should find you later." Zhou Yan said.

The three of Liu Zifeng left with apprehension on their faces.

In the room, Liu Zhen looked at Zhou Yan and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"One point, but I still need to verify it." Zhou Yan said, "Please also ask the Patriarch to give me permission to verify it."

Liu Zhen nodded and said, "You take Mr. Wen with you later, with him around, no one dares to disobey you."

Zhou Yan should be.

"Master Min, madam," Zhou Yan asked, "Has Mr. Peng had any grudges with anyone recently?"

Lu shook his head and said: "Although Youpeng has a bad temper, he is very measured and sensible. He won't have much enmity with others."

In the eyes of their parents, their children are of course impeccable, so Zhou Yan didn't believe Lu Shi's words at all, he looked at Liu Youlun.

Liu Youlun said: "Brother Peng is very nice when he is nice to people. If he doesn't like it, he will show it on his face. Some people in the school have some opinions on him, but most of them like him. When he came back yesterday, everyone was very happy. Be happy and talk around him."

"If you want to say something bad, it's Brother Feng, there is no one else in the school except him."

Zhou Yan nodded.

"One thing," Liu Min said, thinking of a person, "when we went out to sea this time, we encountered a hurricane at sea, and the boat almost capsized. At that time, Youpeng and Fu Bingtou, the leader, had a bad quarrel. Fu Bing The head almost pushed Youpeng into the sea."

Lu Shi exclaimed for a while, and said, "This untouchable, how dare he."

Fu Bingtou is the captain of the sailors on Liu Min's Siamese cargo ship. He has been on the ship all his life. He has no marriage or children. He drinks alcohol, smokes water pipes, and has bad habits all over his body, but his sailing level is very good. He has seen no matter what kind of storm. Can also handle, is a rare talent.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Zhen kept him.

"I was afraid that something would happen along the way, so I tied Fu Bing's head. When I got to the shore, I would report to the Patriarch. After a little punishment, I released him. Who knew that I went to see him this morning, and he actually escaped." Liu Min said.

"This person is not the type to swallow his anger." Liu Zhen said, "I will tell you to find Fu Ting."

Zhou Yan said: "So, this Fu Bingtou is likely to lurk in and murder Mr. Peng?"

Liu Min nodded.

Zhou Yan and Tong Song looked at each other. Liu Youpeng's death was indeed suspicious, not like an accidental death, but there is no evidence to prove that it was homicide.

We can only assume that it was homicide first, and then use the method of exclusion. As for the cause of death... Zhou Yan frowned as he looked at the dead body.

It would be nice if there was a job.
