Chapter 32 The Pharaoh Next Door(1/2)
"What? This question is difficult to answer?"
Mo Zi said with a smile.
"No, no, no, the official is just..." Wu De coughed lightly and replied: "If you want to say that He's appearance is indeed good."
"Well~" Mo Ziming nodded: "Mr. Wu is right. In addition, He just lost his husband, and he looks even more pitiful. It's not a pity for the adults to feel pity for flowers and jade."
When Wu De heard this, he was so scared that he was scattered and quickly stood up and bowed: "Sir, the official is wronged. The official can swear to the heavens and have nothing to do with He."
"Hahaha, Lord Wu doesn't have to be nervous. I just want to say that Lord Wu should have preconceived ideas and believe that He is the victim, and he will inevitably feel pity for him.
But what I can tell you is that this woman is quite suspicious!”
"ah?"
When Wu De heard this, he was shocked.
"Not mentioning other factors, just talking about the records in this document, did Lord Wu really not find any problems?"
Wu De looked embarrassed: "This..."
"Okay, I remind Mr. Wu that the reason for this case is that Yu Zhiyuan covets He's beauty, so he touches her, and even attempts to possess her.
However, from beginning to end, Yu Zhize only discovered this situation once, and only witnessed it with his own eyes under the instruction of He.
Lord Wu, don’t you think there is anything doubtful about this?”
Wu De was stunned and stuttered: "This... I forgive the stupidity of the officials."
"Some things you can think of from a different perspective, and maybe you can unravel some mystery.
For example, let's assume that this was deliberately arranged by He... "
Wu De was surprised: "Ah? What the lord mean is that He deliberately created an opportunity for Yu Zhiyuan to let his husband catch the current situation?
But...if Yu Zhiyuan was innocent, how could he touch He?”
"Mr. Wu, the old saying often says that hearing is false, and seeing is true.
In fact, what our eyes sometimes see may not be real."
Upon hearing this, Wu De was even more confused.
What you see with your own eyes is not true, so what is true?
"I have inquired in Qilizhuang, and many people say that Yu Zhiyuan is a humble and polite person.
Of course, this is not enough to prove that he is innocent.
The key now is that the fatal injuries of the deceased are not what is recorded in the file.”
"I wonder what the results have been found by the adults?"
Mo Ziming replied: "After checking by this official, the fatal injury of the deceased was a blunt weapon. After checking by this official, it should be an iron hammer."
"Harves?" Wu De widened his eyes: "But lord, the official also followed him and the coroner inspected the corpse on the scene.
The officials also saw it at that time. It was a small square table, and the table was very solid.
The corners of the table were covered with blood and hair. The place where the deceased lay was similar, which proved that the deceased did hit the corners of the table, causing death.”
Mo Ziming smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, that's exactly what I said to you before. What you see with your eyes may not be true.
You haven't thought about whether someone would forge the scene?"
"ah?"
"First talk about fatal injuries. After checking, I found that in addition to fatal injuries, the deceased's back of the head also had secondary trauma."
After saying this, Wu De finally had a flash of inspiration and said in a lost voice: "What sir is that the deceased was first knocked to death by someone with a hammer, and then hit the corner of the table with his head, forging the fake example of his death by hitting the corner of the table?"
Mo Ziming nodded: "Well, that's it."
"Yes...but this is not right. According to He's confession, the two brothers had an argument in the kitchen at that time.
By the way, there are also servants who have proved that he heard the movement in the kitchen.
In other words, there were only two brothers in the room and He family.
At that time, the two brothers first argued, and then excitedly began to push each other.
During the battle, Yu Zhiyuan pushed the dead away with force and then left angrily.
He felt something was wrong, so he quickly lit the light, but found that her husband was already lying in a pool of blood..."
"Wait, what did you say? Light the light?"
"Yes, because the two brothers flirted before and knocked the light over."
Mo Ziming said angrily: "Why is there no record of such an important detail in the file?"
"This..." Wu De stuttered cold sweat and stuttered: "Maybe...Maybe the master missed the record."
Mo Ziming couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Wu De, Wu De... You are really as your name. Go and bring Yu Zhiyuan over. I want to ask the details of the time in person."
"Yes, yes, come and bring Yu Zhiyuan here."
"Yes, sir!"
Not long after, two yamen runners brought Yu Zhiyuan over.
At a glance, I knew that I had suffered a lot of torture. Even I couldn't stand steadily, my fingers were bleeding. I thought I had suffered a great punishment.
"Haha, Lord Wu, you still dare to say that it was a reproach?"
Mo Ziming glanced at Wu De coldly and shouted.
Wu De did not dare to argue, so he could only keep saying: "The lower official is guilty, the lower official is guilty..."
Then he glanced at Yu Zhiyuan and said, "Yu Zhiyuan, please tell me the whole case in detail, the more detailed the better."
Yu Zhiyuan's eyes were dull and he murmured with a look of indifference: "What else can I say? Haven't it been all drawn?"
"you……"
"Okay, Lord Wu, it seems that his injuries are a bit serious."
After saying that, Mo Ziming walked down, took out a pill and handed it to Yu Zhiyuan: "If you take it, it will help your injury heal."
"Yu Zhiyuan, this is..."
Wu De raised his hand and was about to introduce it, but Mo Ziming posed and said, "Mr. Wu, don't say much."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Wu De responded quickly.
After all, Mo Ziming's mission this time was mainly to search for ancient books, so he did not want to make a name for himself.
Yu Zhiyuan looked at Mo Ziming with confusion, hesitated for a while, and finally took the pill and swallowed it.
Even if it was poison, he would admit it. Anyway, he would die.
Although Wu De finally ruled that the case was a man-killing man, he was not sentenced to death, but was imprisoned for ten years.
But how many people can survive ten years in prison?
After swallowing the pill, Yu Zhiyuan suddenly felt a cool breath spreading in his body, which made him feel refreshed and the pain in the wound was greatly reduced.
Now, I couldn't help but look at Mo Ziming in surprise.
Judging from the situation where Wu De was respectful and called himself a subordinate, he could naturally guess that the man in front of him was also an official, and his official position was probably quite large.
"Yu Zhiyuan, now, can you tell me about the case?"
Mo Ziming asked with a smile.
Yu Zhiyuan hesitated for a while and said, "The villain who should be said has already said it, and Lord Wu has decided on the case."
"Yu Zhiyuan, don't be ungrateful."
Wu De was anxious and couldn't help but rush up.
"Mr. Wu..." Mo Ziming glared at Wu De in dissatisfaction, then glanced at Yu Zhiyuan and said, "Maybe, you thought it was you who caused your brother's death, so you felt guilty.
Of course, there may be other reasons that make it difficult for you to speak out.
But if I tell you that this case is clearly because someone took the opportunity to murder your brother and framed you, what would you say?"
"What?"
Yu Zhiyuan was shocked.
"If you don't want to tell anything, then the official will be lazy to ask. But your brother will die in vain, and you will be the same. Maybe one day you will die in prison."
After saying that, Mo Ziming retreated and sat on a chair.
"Sir, Sir..."
Yu Zhiyuan knelt on the ground and moved a few steps forward, and said hurriedly: "Sir, there is really evidence. Is someone trying to murder the villain's younger brother?"
"It depends on whether you are worthy or not. If you, the party involved, don't cooperate, how can I decide the case?"
"Okay, the villain is willing to speak."
Upon hearing this, Wu De couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said to Yu Zhiyuan: "You said you, why didn't you say anything before? It hurts me..."
Mo Ziming smiled and said, "Okay, Lord Wu, I think he may have some difficulties in not talking about it."
Yu Zhiyuan calmed down for a while, then slowly said: "I didn't say it before, but it was just to take care of the face of the Yu family, and I didn't want the Yu family to become a laughing stock.
But after hearing what the adult said just now, the villain immediately understood something.
I think my brother's death is not unrelated to that woman."
"You mean He?"
Wu De couldn't help asking.
