Chapter 196 Set within a set
Coming out of the prison, Lu Qingfan said in a deep voice: "Wang Shishu's testimony is not enough to prosecute He Yuping."
There are not many clues left behind in the case of the bombing of the eight major universities in Jiangnan, and most of them are inferences. Only the invulnerable petition is missing; in the murder case of Wang Tongtong's family, although the suspicion of Wang Shishu's murder has been ruled out, he can only rely on oral confession.
Indirectly proves that He Yuping committed murder.
"There must be some ironclad evidence." Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan thought of something.
Little clues gradually flashed through her mind, and she wanted to take out the incriminating evidence before Master Ran's trial ended.
"I'll go to the widow's house. Sir, go help Mr. Ran to stabilize the court hearing."
"Well," Lu Qingfan said, and added: "Leng Hai has already searched He Yuping's home. As long as he finds the petition, it will be half successful."
The two acted separately.
On the way, Yun Xi always felt an indescribable awkwardness: perhaps it was Yi Duo who died early, and her scheming instincts made her wary;
I cut ties with Yi Duo...
"Something doesn't feel right." Yun Xi murmured as she opened the door to the widow's room.
While looking at the three autopsy records, she repeated the details of the two crime scenes in her mind.
Her clear eyes quietly swept between the various exhibits, and then landed on a small object.
"This is..." Yun Xi's pupils subconsciously dilated, and she immediately compared the evidence that appeared in the two crime scenes, and was instantly inspired.
The evidence to crucify He Yuping is available.
Let us say that Ran Piao was ordered by Lu Qingfan to interrogate He Yuping, Wei Jianping and Ning Pingye in the main hall. Knowing that He Yuping was the hardest nut to crack, he chose to take the lead in breaking through Ning Pingye and Wei Jianping.
Ning Pingye had already made the move: he was just a casual acquaintance with those Jiangnan students. He felt good about them after a casual conversation, so they talked to each other a few times.
I didn't dare to tell the truth to Ran Piao and Yun Xiyan that day because I was frightened when I heard about the Wangjiacun case, so I hid it secretly because it was better to do less than to do more.
The officers of the Ministry of Punishment searched Ning Pingye's residence and mission room, and indeed did not find anything related to fireworks or gunpowder. In addition, it is true that Ning Pingye had friends with those students from Jiangnan, and all the witnesses were there.
It's considered to be completely unrelated to the case.
As for Wei Jianping, the situation is more complicated than that of Ning Pingye: this person has long been in contact with Jiangnan students, mainly through correspondence with Wang Xiufeng.
When Lu Qingfan arrived, what he heard was that "Wei Jianping and Wang Xiufeng had similar interests and made friends through literature. When they heard that Wang Xiufeng was coming to Beijing, they were very excited and went to meet them."
"Those eight people are quite literary, and their breasts are admirable. Who knows, who knows... I was afraid of causing trouble to my family, so I didn't tell them." When he said this, Wei Jianping couldn't help but his eyes turned red.
"What are you and He Yuping secretly planning? Why were you there when the explosion occurred that day?" Lu Qingfan asked coldly.
As soon as these words came out, Wei Jianping was startled: "What does Mr. Lu mean by this? What does it have to do with Mr. He?"
Seeing that Wei Jianping still refused to admit it, Lu Qingfan mentioned that they acted deliberately and created perjury.
Not only did Wei Jianping not panic at being exposed, but Monk Zhang Er was even more confused:
"No, sir! Your Majesty really likes to eat Liu Ji's soup dumplings. This is something everyone in my family knows, and it's not just the past few months! As for that day... Xiufeng sent someone to send a message, saying that there is
You asked me to celebrate the good thing, so I rushed there specially, but who would have thought that the inn would already be on fire after I arrived!"
Wei Jianping's eyes moved back and forth between Ran Piao, who looked suspicious, and Lu Qingfan, who looked calm, and he kept saying, "If I tell you any lies, I will die badly!"
His frightened look didn't seem like he was faking it. Lu Qingfan glanced at Ran Piao, who immediately said: "That's all, let's take what you said as true and stay in the backyard for the time being to hear the trial."
The implication is that it takes time to confirm what Wei Jianping said.
Wei Jianping sighed after hearing this, clasped his fists and said, "It's my fault that I'm afraid of hiding this. I hope you two adults can prove your innocence for me."
"nature."
After the others left, Ran Piao immediately asked to change places with Lu Qingfan: "It's better for you, sir, to interrogate that guy He Yuping!"
Ran Piao said honestly: "The last time we met, Xiaguan and Yun Zuozuo couldn't get any advantage from him, and I'm afraid it will be the same again now."
Lu Qingfan did not refuse and sat down at the top to wait for He Yuping.
At this moment, Yun Xi walked in quickly from the side and took out the roster Lu Qingfan had given her before.
"Sir, in the roster that His Highness Beimang Tuoba left for you, there is He Yuping's name."
Yun Xi immediately unfolded the roster and said in a deep voice: "Ten years ago, He Yuping was only in his early twenties and worked as an errand at the Hanlin Academy."
Lu Qingfan lowered his head and looked, and sure enough, He Yuping's name was in the last few lines of the list.
So many officials died or retired and returned home, but He Yuping, who was supposed to have an accident, was not only fine, but was also transferred to the Ministry of Works and became a fifth-grade official...
The reason is self-evident.
"Is that so?"
In addition, Yun Xi also found incriminating evidence that He Yuping left at the two crime sites: "There was a special broken medicine at both crime sites."
Yun Xi put the things back, but didn't think of anything until he mentioned that He Yuping had a sister who was bedridden...
"This medicine is a medicine that is taken all year round by patients who are paralyzed in bed. The amount is small and expensive. It must be crushed evenly before each decoction."
The little bit of crushed medicine powder in the brown paper bag was most likely caused by He Yuping who accidentally stood on his clothes while crushing the medicinal materials, and accidentally left it at the crime scene.
Lu Qingfan looked at the insignificant amount of powder and exclaimed: "You have discovered such subtle evidence of crime."
"It's also a coincidence."
The first time Yun Xi discovered the powder at the fire scene, she only found a few pieces of powder. After returning home, she read through several medical books before confirming it. On the contrary, Wang Tong's medicine was found during the second inspection. At that time, there were a few pieces of powder on the table.
It was mixed with the debris from the table leg, making it difficult to distinguish. It was Yun Xi who used a trick to separate the two rooms.
With enough evidence, Lu Qingfan became more confident in prying He Yuping's mouth open.
He motioned to Yun Xi to stand aside and watch, and then ordered the officers to interrogate He Yuping.
He Yuping had been waiting in the outer courtyard for a long time. When he saw that it was finally his turn and Lu Qingfan and Yun Xi were there again, he gave a sarcastic sneer.
"Why are you laughing?!" Ran Piao said angrily: "Do you feel proud of playing tricks on me, an official from the Criminal Department?!"
"The official is laughing at Wang Shishu. He is a troublemaker after all. He has recruited them all."
As soon as He Yuping said this, Lu Qingfan and Yun Xi looked at each other, and He Yuping knew something about it.
"Since I know I'm losing everything, it's better to admit my guilt quickly." Lu Qingfan said calmly.
"If you want to know anything, sir, just ask." He Yuping looked indifferent, as if he had expected this day.
"How did Wang Tong's family die?"
"Killed by me."
He Yuping confessed his crime simply, and Yun Xi suddenly felt a little surprised in her heart.
How many criminals had she and Lu Qingfan seen, and who didn't stand firm until the last moment? If there wasn't enough irrefutable evidence, some quibbles would be necessary.
He Yuping carefully planned to kill eleven people, but he actually confessed when Lu Qingfan was asked about the crime?
"How to kill it? Let me tell you in detail."
"Wang Tong has been providing gunpowder to my master and me for several years. Every month, I will have Wang Shishu put the money into the accounts of the fireworks venue under the name of 'pension money' and send it to him. Who knows that this guy is not only greedy, but also the explosion of the Huifeng Inn
Later, they threatened to increase the money by using the secret debt accumulated over the years. The price agreed the night before doubled the next day... I killed them in anger."
He Yuping's arrogant attitude of taking life lightly made it seem as if he was not killing people, but a group of ants.
Yun Xi clenched her fists subconsciously.
Lu Qingfan stared at him with cold eyes and said coldly: "Eight students from Jiangnan came to Beijing to express their love, but you set up a trap to kill them?"
"Yes. I coaxed Wang Shishu to persuade Wang Xiufeng and his entourage to come to Beijing, and he thought I would really invite them to meet the emperor! After they arrived, Wang Tong's explosive fireworks had been prepared for me. That day they invited me to have a drink with them, and I
I was half a moment late on purpose..."
He Yuping had so many ways to get close to those eight unfaithful students, and he was even more sophisticated in coaxing them into doing things.
"So, you were the one who set off the fireworks at the scene?"
Thinking of the hope they had, the sincerity in their hands, and all their sincerity at the hands of He Yuping, Yun Xi could no longer control the anger in her heart: "Not only did you betray your trust, but you also killed people cruelly. Seriously, you are worse than a beast!"
"So what."
He Yuping's expression remained calm, and he even smiled at Yun Xi: "They are too naive, they believe everything I say... That day, I threw a small piece of paper in. 'Bang', I
I watched helplessly as Ma Rupei, Xie Wei and Kong Dongfang, who were preparing to amend the petition, turned into burning men..."
"brute!"
Ran Piao interrupted He Yuping's cruel words with an angry shout, and couldn't help but curse: "You are worse than a beast!"
"Hahahaha..." He Yuping laughed instead of being angry, and tears flowed out after laughing at the end: "I am worse than a beast! Even if I die, there will still be eleven of them to accompany me on the road to hell!"
Yun Xi's nails were already digging into her flesh. She tried hard to control her anger, warning herself over and over again not to be angered by He Yuping's confession, and held on silently.
"Who is your master?" Lu Qingfan was the only person in the room who still maintained his rationality and calmness. Under the rage in his heart, he asked the last important question.
