The system always wants to send me to the heroine

Chapter 25 The Second Murder Weapon

However, the little girl in front of him was completely frightened and kept crying, which was also a problem.

"Ahem, be quiet. The county will give you a chance to defend yourself. Zhuzi, do you have anything to say before the verdict is handed down?"

I quickly asked.

"But I really don't know. I really don't know what to say!"

The little girl cried so much that her tears and snot mixed together, and she looked really pitiful.

It's already the point where you're about to be sentenced, but you still won't say anything. That can only mean you really don't know, right?

I turned my head and looked at Xiao Yunyun, asking her with my eyes if that was it.

"Really? Even if you are wrongly accused and your master makes you a scapegoat, it doesn't matter, does it?"

Xiao Yunyun refused to let it go.

"My Lord, I am innocent. I am truly innocent!"

When Zhuzi heard this, he quickly wiped his face and began to protest his injustice.

"Words are not enough. You have to explain why you were wronged, and then convince us, right?"

"Oh, right, Yuzi, who is with me, can testify for me!"

The little girl said hurriedly, but was stopped by Xiao Yunyun.

"No, she can't testify. You two are closely related and live together. It's hard to escape the suspicion of collusion. You need to save yourself, otherwise, you will die."

Xiao Yunyun refused to give in and pressed forward step by step.

"I, I've never been in the scene before, I'm scared!"

The little girl cried so pitifully that her tears flowed into her mouth.

"Who has seen it? How can you prove it? Miss Zhuzi, if you still want to hide something for Li at this time, you are really taking the blame for her."

I looked at the imposing Xiao Yunyun and silently shrank my head.

I just feel that at this moment she is more like a law enforcer, a law enforcer who can be extremely ruthless in pursuit of the truth.

Well, maybe as a county magistrate, someone like me is just smarter, but it is still far from enough.

"For example, someone outside saw you not being there, or you have clues about the murder weapon."

Xiao Yunyun continued to guide slowly.

"By the way, I don't have a weapon, and I don't have a weapon that is powerful enough to kill the Second Madam!"

The little girl seemed to remember something and spoke quickly.

"go on."

Xiao Yunyun's eyes were instantly fixed on the bamboo, as if she was biting her prey.

"Sir, in our tailor shop, the scissors that the servants usually use are either blunt-tipped scissors, to avoid scratching the cloth, or pointed-tipped scissors for cutting thread ends, so that the needle ends will not be picked up by the embroidery. So, I, a commoner, do not have a weapon that can commit murder!"

Xiao Zhuzi said quickly.

"Interesting. When you talk about murder weapons, why do you think of scissors instead of swords?"

"Your Excellency, my family is a tailor and I only deal with scissors all day long. Naturally, I thought of scissors. Besides, I don't have the sharp weapon described in the case file at home...ah!"

Zhuzi suddenly recalled that day when Madam Li, who had always been waiting for her sisters to serve her, came to their room early and gave them some instructions.

"Don't tell the government too much about your family affairs. Just say you don't know, so as to avoid getting into trouble. You can't afford it."

Of course, Zhuzi and Yuzi just nodded. After all, they really knew nothing and had never thought that the lady would become the murderer.

However, at this moment, she was about to appear in court as the murderer of the shark man, and she could not care less.

"Master Zhou, Master Zhou's heirloom is an extremely sharp weapon!"

Xiao Yunyun took a deep breath and smiled.

"This is also a pair of scissors, not an ordinary knife, right?"

"Yes, yes, Master Zhou's ancestral carving and embroidery skills are completed with this pair of scissors. For carving, embroidery and silk drawing, the scissors should be extremely sharp. It is said that this pair of scissors is forged with top-grade steel. Master said that even ordinary swords cannot be as sharp as this pair of precious scissors!"

This is it, you can’t go wrong!

"Can't you touch this pair of scissors normally?"

"Yes, the master treasures his craft very much. He never teaches his unique carving and embroidery skills to others, so he has always kept the scissors. Naturally, we have never touched them."

"What about Li? Does she know where to hide?"

"Madam, you probably don't know. After all, although these scissors are precious, they are often used. Mr. Zhou usually carries them with him."

The two of them were asking and answering each other, and I had no chance to get a word in. When Xiao Yunyun turned around and looked at me, there was a smug look on her face.

Really, I did get a clue from this maid who seemed to know nothing.

"Okay, fine. Since there are doubts in this case for the time being, we can't make a conclusion. I will return Zhuzi to the prison and await retrial!"

I made a quick decision and took the person back quickly.

"Wow, Xiao Yunyun, you are so awesome! Is this the murder weapon?"

When I looked at Xiao Yunyun's eyes, they were filled with stars of admiration.

This is the technique of investigating a case, a technique that even my clever little brain could never have thought of.

"Yes, it must be. If it is a pair of unusually sharp scissors, slightly wider than an ordinary dagger, then it is indeed similar to a knife wound. No wonder we can't find the second murder weapon."

Xiao Yunyun smiled faintly, as if to say, basic operation, don't be 6.

It’s not that it can’t be found. Wu Yuyun knows that with the skills of her four subordinates, if something cannot be found by them, then it must not exist.

Therefore, from the very beginning, she did not think about the possibility that Li had committed a crime.

However, as the existence of the murder weapon was confirmed, the speculation of the stupid loli was undoubtedly confirmed at this time.

"But where should this pair of scissors be?"

She couldn't help but murmur.

When the house was searched, Zhou Yong's property was also simply counted, and such a priceless treasure was not among them.

"Well, if that's the case, the murder weapon, the scissors, should have been found by Li from Zhou Yong's clothes at the scene. After she used it to kill Wang, it must have naturally fallen into her hands, right?"

I quickly replied.

"The question is, where did the murder weapon go after that? Don't forget, she fainted in the mansion, so the scissors were no longer with her."

"Oh, that's right. She hid the murder weapon only when she was leaving the house and on the way to the county government office. But, but it's not easy to find such a small pair of scissors in the entire county..."

I was suddenly stunned and looked at Xiao Yunyun.

Xiao Yunyun nodded to me and smiled with relief.

Yes, this is too coincidental. If it was an ordinary pair of scissors as a murder weapon, it would naturally be impossible to find it. However, this pair of scissors is a priceless treasure.

"Oh my god, Li probably never dreamed that his tricks would reveal a flaw. There is such a person in this world who is known as a human treasure hunter!"

Chapter 26: Confrontation with the Lee Family

It took less than half an hour for the people sent out to retrieve the scissors. According to Zhang Long's report, they only needed to ask a few questions when they arrived at Long's Mansion, and they found out that Long Aotian had already picked it up.

Phew, after all, that Long Aotian loves to show off.

With this weapon, the time to confront Li has finally arrived.

"Someone, bring Li to the hall!"

I have made sufficient mental preparations. This trial, which has lasted for many days, will finally come to an end today.

The door opened and the case began to be heard in court.

This time, I will expose the true face of this crying Li in front of all the people.

When Li was arrested, she had already changed into plain mourning clothes. However, even after being detained in prison for a night, she still retained her elegant and pitiful beauty.

According to the laws of this dynasty, people cannot be put into prison clothes before they are convicted.

Woo, this time I will definitely not be fooled by her pitiful appearance and long legs. I will be the one to identify all the crimes she has committed!

"Ms. Li, do you admit your guilt?"

I asked loudly, wanting to show my power first.

"I don't know, please tell me clearly."

Li knelt down, her face was sad, but there was no trace of panic in her eyes.

Guh, this woman is indeed not as easy to deal with as bamboo.

However, she had no idea that I had already found the key evidence and had completely set my sights on her.

Look at me using superb rhetoric to make it difficult for her to justify herself!

"Ms. Li, the case of your husband Zhou Yong has been investigated. It was committed by Wang's childhood friend Lu Yi."

"Thank you, sir, for your insight and for clearing up the injustice for my husband."

Li took advantage of the situation and bowed down, prostrating himself on the ground.

"However, there are still some strange things about Wang's death. Tell me what you saw and heard that day, and I will investigate it in detail."

What is there to investigate? What is there to ask? Since the case is clear, why are you still hesitating?

Li frowned and almost revealed what was in his mind.

"Yes, my lord."

However, although she was used to being arrogant and domineering with Zhou Yong, she still chose to restrain herself at this moment.

Li described with tears in her eyes what she had seen that day, how her hands and feet were cold and how she was heartbroken, and how she endured the pain in her heart and went to the county government to report the case.

The more I listened to the description, the more I couldn't help but reveal a smug expression.

If it were the me before, I might have been fooled, but now, I have been caught.

"Ms. Li, you should know that every question and answer in court is recorded. If you change your statement in court, don't blame me for accusing you of contempt of court."

I was secretly laughing, and my tone unconsciously became less serious.

"I know, please investigate."

Li lowered his head and answered, naturally not afraid of the threat from a short and fat county magistrate.

"So, how do you explain this thing?"

I took the Zhou family heirloom, a pair of scissors that had been passed down along with the store for a hundred years, and turned them around in my hands.

Huh, I successfully captured the moment when Li was stunned.

"Now that the scissors are in our hands, do you still think you can get away with it? Zhou Yong never leaves this thing and never shows it to anyone. Only people in your Zhou family know of its existence. Therefore, only you who discovered the dead body can search for this thing from Zhou Yong's body!

Li, why don't you confess the truth about how you harmed people, how you dealt with the traces, and how you abandoned the murder weapon? At this point, do you still think you can deny it?"

I shouted sternly.

Yes, all the previous preparations were for this moment, to expose this Li.

What's wrong with the panic look, cold hands and feet, and tormented heart? Li's psychological quality has long been far beyond that of ordinary people.

The people began to talk privately, none of them really understanding the current situation.

"The murder of the newlywed couple Zhou Yong and Wang was investigated in detail by our county. It was actually two cases. First, Lu Yi killed Zhou Yong and left in the dark. Later, someone found the scissors on Zhou Yong and killed Wang. The only one who could do this was you, who knew the existence of the scissors and actually took them away from the scene, Li!"

I stretched out my finger, feeling very powerful.

In this way, the evidence is irrefutable, and the lies Li said in court before become lies. The image of the victim she established in front of everyone will also collapse.

"Your Excellency has actually investigated to this extent. I admire you."

Li slowly raised her head and faced me, without any trace of crying on her face.

Haha, finally you stop pretending.

But it's too late. I have made all the preparations to bring you down.

"So you're pleading guilty?"

I pressed on to win the game, not giving Li any time to tease me.
