The system always wants to send me to the heroine

"Although, although I am sorry to poke at your sore spot again, your testimony is very important. Can you tell me what happened that night?"

Seeing the little guy looking embarrassed, Wu Yuyun got so angry that she wanted to bite her handkerchief on the spot.

She looked so businesslike, and I couldn't blame her for the fact that when she lowered her head, her eyes naturally drifted to the other person's thigh.

Unfortunately, she couldn't recover her original figure in a short time, and it would be very inconvenient to educate this little guy properly even if she could recover. As the heir to the emperor and a witch princess, it would be too embarrassing for her to personally hook up with a loli.

Well, it's not just about her own face. When chasing a loli, she is willing to be thick-skinned, but someone will remind her that she must not lose the face of the royal family, her reputation, or let the world laugh at her.

"Gululululu!"

angry! ! !

Coincidentally, Wang Chao came back, and Wu Yuyun took the opportunity to dismiss all the secretaries and servants on the grounds that the county magistrate was on official business.

"Tell me what you found out first."

Wu Yuyun didn't need to be polite to her subordinates at all.

~~~~~

I asked with great expectations, but didn't get much valuable information.

Li's room was not too far from the victim's room, so she could not hear any talking in the room. However, if someone shouted for help or screamed, she would definitely be awakened.

She testified that there was no sound that night and she had no idea what happened at the time of the incident.

Of course, according to the on-site investigation, one was very drunk and the other had his acupuncture points pressed, so it would be strange that he could cry for help.

The next morning, when she didn't see her husband get up, she went to the bridal chamber and discovered this shocking murder. She immediately struggled to report the case. After using up her last bit of strength to hold on, she fainted.

Well, I remember the first witness, and it seems she didn't lie.

She is not a murderer, and I can feel that her feelings for her husband are genuine.

But in order to learn more about the case, I took the opportunity to ask Li some other questions.

Well, it was for business, not because I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to peek more at Sister Li’s thighs.

Chapter 17 Cross-examination

"I was originally a peasant from an ordinary local family, born in a poor family. Fortunately, when I was selling vegetables, my late husband took pity on my hardship and took me to the government office. I was officially made his second wife. After Madam Yu passed away, he helped me become his principal wife. My late husband loved me deeply and was very kind to me. Who would have thought that he would suffer such an experience and be harmed by a traitor!"

Li was filled with grief. She didn't say a word before she burst into tears again.

"Madam, please accept my condolences. It sounds like you and your husband must have a very good relationship, right?"

I asked tentatively.

"Your Excellency is right. I and my husband are indeed in love with each other."

Li nodded and replied without any hesitation.

Well, there is nothing wrong with this matter. I have also asked her maid in advance, and the relationship between Zhou Yong and Li is indeed very loving.

"But, but this is very strange. If your relationship is so good, why does Zhou Yong want to take a concubine? Sister Li is obviously very beautiful."

"You are joking, my Lord. I am not worthy of this title. It is only because my belly is not good that my husband has no choice but to take another wife..."

Well, he just wanted a child, so Zhou Yong married another wife.

This reason, hmm, seems to make sense in ancient times?

What? It would be the same if he married a few more wives. His first wife didn't leave any children. It's not Sister Li's fault. It's obviously the old man's fault.

Thinking about my thirty years of being single, I couldn't help but lower my head and think sourly.

I suddenly felt an extremely strong gaze from behind me, and I was so scared that I quickly moved my eyes away from Li's thighs.

"The Zhou Yong family has been running a tailoring business for generations. They have a fairly large shop and embroidery skills passed down from their ancestors, right?"

Xiao Yunyun walked over slowly, her tone very unfriendly.

"Yes, Master is right."

Li replied softly.

"Then logically speaking, your family should have a good reputation in the surrounding area, and there should be many people who are sad about your husband's death, right?"

Xiao Yunyun said coldly, in a rather aggressive tone.

Wow, why does it feel like little Yunyun really dislikes big sister Li?

"This, this..."

Facing Xiao Yunyun's question, Li lowered her head slightly, looking embarrassed, and was unable to answer.

"Humph, in fact, Zhou Yong is rich but unkind. He squeezed out all his peers nearby by illegal means, set prices arbitrarily, and treated his neighbors without mercy. He was a tyrant and had a bad reputation in the area. Now that Zhou Yong is dead, everyone is celebrating. Who would be sad?"

"you you..."

It seemed that Xiao Yunyun had touched upon her shameful past. Her husband had died, yet she was being humiliated in public by a young aunt-in-law. Li was so excited that she almost fainted again.

"Xiao Yunyun, don't be so fierce. Sister Li's husband just passed away. Just, just don't..."

"You, are you speaking for her?"

Xiao Yunyun widened her eyes in anger, which made me feel scared.

"Oh, but this can't be a reason to kill him..."

I was bullied by a loli, and I couldn't help but point my fingers in grievance and said.

"That's right, but Zhou Yong really deserves to be killed. I can't help it," said Xiao Yunyun.

Li could no longer stand and sat down on the ground in grief.

Well, I can understand that. Not only has her husband died, but she also has to be pointed at and scolded by others. It is really hard to accept.

"Come on, help her into the wing room. Once she has rested enough, let her go. I have learned all about her situation. As the county magistrate said, we cannot ignore this case. We will definitely give an explanation."

Xiao Yunyun waved her hand and sent the man away.

I subconsciously turned around and glanced at Sister Li, who insisted on not entering the side room and was helped out of the house, and scratched my head.

The little heroine usually looks very cute and obedient, why is she so angry today?

"Xiao Yunyun, do you have something else to say that you don't want to say in front of her?"

Xiao Yunyun's anger faded and she nodded at me.

"Yes, the case has been solved. Wang Chao sent a letter to report that Ma Han has gone after the murderer. I believe there will be a result soon."

Wow, the murderer is almost found!

"Then why do you say Zhou Yong should be killed? This Li seems to be just crying, um, and she didn't refute this statement at all."

I am still very confused.

"Did you know that Li was half-forced and half-engaged into Zhou Yong's marriage when she was 17 years old?"

I nodded. After listening to Li's reply, I roughly guessed it.

It would be impossible for a vegetable-selling girl to be rejected by such a fat and rich man.

Although she herself seemed to have let go of this matter a long time ago, she is now Zhou Yongzheng's wife, her net worth has increased a hundred times, and she is no longer the same as she was before.

He even defended the late Zhou Yong in front of me.

"Do you know that the other little girl who was the victim had a similar situation?"

Oh, that poor young girl, also suffered the same fate...

Xiao Yunyun just sighed.

"This Zhou Yong has ruined himself, the victim, the young lady Wang, and the murderer. Well, once Sister Li has questioned the murderer herself, everything will be clear."

In other words, not only has the murderer been identified, but the 'motive' has also been figured out?

Well, but I feel like I haven’t done anything.

It’s like playing a game and your teammates lead you to victory without doing anything.

"Why, Sister Li likes a big sister like Li?"

Out of the blue, Xiao Yunyun suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the case.

I was so lost in thought that I couldn't wrap my head around for a moment. As soon as I nodded my head, I immediately shook it with a strong desire to survive.

"I don't like it. She always cries and has no momentum at all."

Well, that's true. Although I admire her long legs, I don't like her at all.

I felt a strange discomfort from Li, as if we were just incompatible in terms of world views. Yes, it was the kind of submissive mentality of ancient women who regarded their husbands as their heaven. It really made me feel uncomfortable all over!

Zhou Yong is clearly a scumbag and a villain, but Sister Li is still speaking for him and even taking the blame on herself.

"Well, I understand. I don't object to your liking for older sisters. So, Sister Li likes the kind of older sisters who are strong and can make you cry!"

Little Yunyun murmured, pounded her little fists, and became inexplicably happy.

Hey, how come Xiao Yunyun, who was just angry and talking to people, suddenly got in his way?

No, that's totally wrong. What does a 'big sister who makes me cry' mean?

No, I don’t like it, really!

The words Xiao Yunyun used made me feel that they were a bit obscene. I couldn't help but imagine them in my mind. In the end, my face turned red and I ran away.

Wow, the heroine is still young, this is not an issue that can be discussed with her!

Chapter 18: Court (Part 2)

After only one day and one night, the prisoner was put in jail.

Although they were very surprised at how smoothly the investigation went, Wang Chao and Ma Han, who had returned, said that they had followed my instructions and visited the home of the victim, Wang, and got the answer.

Well, I'm not completely useless.

Just as I guessed, Wang had a childhood sweetheart who had entered the martial arts world in his early years, apprenticed to a master and seldom returned.

The suspect's name was Lu Yi. According to the victim Wang's father, this man had secretly pledged his life to Wang. Although Lu Yi became an apprentice and seldom returned home, the affection between the two of them since childhood could not be overwhelmed. Although Wang's life was hard, she was silently waiting for the day when Lu Yi would return after completing his studies and marry her.

The Wang family was in a very difficult financial situation. Wang's mother died in childbirth, and the whole family's pressure was on Wang's father alone. Apart from the little girl Wang who could share some of the burden, there were still three children to raise. They all relied on Wang's father for farming for a living, and Lu Yi gave him some help from time to time, and they lived a tight life.

The tragedy began when the little girl went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and was seen by Zhou Yong when she went to the market to sell them to supplement the family income. Zhou Yong's favorite was beautiful young girls. When he saw Wang flirting with him that day, he could not control himself.

In the days that followed, the matchmaker sent by Zhou Yong came to propose marriage again and again, and the betrothal gifts she offered became larger each time.

When Wang's father mentioned this, he regretted even more. He regretted that he could not muster up the courage to take on all this. He knew that his girl already had someone in her heart, and he had not agreed at first. The result of his resistance was that he had one leg broken by the thugs sent by Zhou Yong.

It was as if the sky had fallen when the pillar of the family was injured and unable to get out of bed. He had several children to feed and knew that he had no money to sue the authorities. He had no choice but to nod and agree to the marriage, and only received fifty taels of betrothal money.

Just listening to Wang Chao's retelling, I was still so angry that I clenched my fists. Zhou Yong was so lawless, no wonder Xiao Yunyun said he deserved to die.

I wonder how many people in Qiyun County have suffered injustice but dare not report it to the authorities.

"So, it must be that Lu Yi came back and saw this marriage, so he had the idea of ​​kidnapping people, right?"

Xiao Yunyun came forward, held my hand, and touched it gently, as if to comfort me.

"Well, according to Wang's father, it was the young lady Wang who wrote a letter herself and sent it to Lu Yi. Everything in the letter was a farewell letter. She said that she already had someone else in her heart and hoped that Lu would forget her. She even calculated the time so that Lu Yi would not be able to catch up with her wedding. Unexpectedly, Lu Yi was deeply in love with her and ran his horse to death. On the night of the wedding, he took the letter to Wang's father and questioned him."

"Well, after Lu Yi learned the truth, he must have rushed to the bridal chamber in anger and had an argument with Wang. Maybe the talks broke down, or maybe Lu Yi was impulsive and committed this crime?"

"I'm afraid that's the case."

Xiao Yunyun must have felt uncomfortable as she held me tightly with both hands.

"Then Lu Yi pleaded guilty?"

I turned to Mahan and asked him who had been caught.

"Yes, sir. His home is not far from the city. When I led my men there, he was wiping the knife. He did not resist and allowed me to take him in."

"So, has the interrogation been conducted?"

Both of them shook their heads.

"This Lu Yi seems to have made up his mind to die. He only said that he was responsible for his own actions. He will confess all his crimes in court and only ask for a quick trial and a quick verdict. He wants to go down to accompany Wang. There is no need to ask anything else."

It looks like it's time to go to court.

Lu Yi's experience is sympathetic, but there are obviously many strange and suspicious points in this case.

Miss Wang knew very well that Lu Yi loved her deeply, and with the help of Lu Yi's martial arts, the two of them could have overcome the difficulties together and things would not have developed to this point. Why did she write a farewell letter instead of asking for help and voluntarily marry Zhou Yong?

Furthermore, the most bizarre thing is that it would have been fine for Lu Yi to kill Zhou Yong, but why did he kill the person he loved so deeply with his own hands?
