Chapter 33 Thoughts
During the three-hour interrogation, only Shen Qingling's calm and steady questioning echoed in the huge main hall.

Yu Ben's voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.

He has been very depressed, especially after he answered the woman in the seat one sentence after another, he felt that this time he was probably really close to death, and he even thought, maybe he really sleepwalked out and killed someone .

Otherwise, why, every doubt points to oneself?

At that time, Wu Mao saved a lot of money in order to marry his wife, for which he always carried the money with him.When he died, the silver in his wallet disappeared, and Yu Ben was always short of money because he had to treat his mother.

As long as Yu Ben can fool his mother, he will have time to commit crimes.

And because there happened to be the street where Yu Ben went to work in Wumao Dageng's street, so Yu Ben could not be more clear about the topography of that street, and he knew where to avoid the eyes and ears, so he avoided being peeped by passers-by at night. trouble.

time, place, purpose.

Maybe Yu Ben had calculated everything, but he didn't count that he was cut into his clothes during the fight with Wu Mao, so that Wu Mao, who was still alive, finally swallowed the pieces of the robe in order to let the Yamen catch Yu Ben.

All the details are accusing Yu Ben of being the real murderer of Wu Mao.

Shen Qingling took the handwritten copy from the clerk, nodded, thanked Ben, and then said to Ben: "You said you didn't know the beater who was killed, but according to records, you and the beater Wu Mao lives on the same street, so he should look down and not look up."

"I don't know him. I don't know any of the neighbors in my alley. I only focus on blacksmithing on weekdays, and I never thought of making friends with them... But my mother..." Yu Ben began to cry pitifully. tears.

None of the clerks on the side were moved by this. In their view, Yu Ben's crime has been confirmed, and his current weakness is just for survival.

Ren Bingyi was still observing Shen Qingling.

What Shen Qingling asked just now was already in the dossier and confession, now that she asked it again, it seemed that she had a different meaning.

"Maybe invite your mother to court?" Although Shen Qingling was asking Yu Ben, her eyes turned to Ren Bingyi, she naturally waited for Ren Bingyi to give an order, and she was sure that Ren Bingyi would agree.

Of course, Ren Bingyi did agree.

The old family has bad legs and feet, so the yamen servants found a small sedan chair and carried it to the front of the main hall.

"The villain has seen the masters." Yu's mother staggered and knelt down, her cloudy eyes swept the hall in a panic, she couldn't see her, but she was stubbornly looking for her son, "Please forgive me, my son." The son of man is truly innocent."

Shen Qingling knocked on the table with her fingers, interrupted Yumu's crying, and said in a cold voice: "Innocent is not innocent, let's wait for the trial before the court to see. Now I have a few questions to ask you, would you like to answer them like this? "

Yu's mother had never seen this battle before, so she was a little overwhelmed with fright.

The yamen servant who was supporting her hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "This question is the same as that asked by our Lord Zhizhou, why don't you answer it quickly?"

"Ah, yes, yes." Yu's mother hurriedly replied.

Including Ren Bingyi, everyone was waiting to see what tricks Shen Qingling was playing, but unexpectedly, when she opened her mouth, she asked——

"Do you know Wu Mao?"

Ask Yu's mother now, and of course Yu's mother will say that she knows.

So Shen Qingling continued: "Before your son was involved in the murder of Wu Mao."

There were rustling sounds in the main hall, either the clerks speeded up their writing pens, or that kid Ren Shaochun started to whisper to his second brother with his head tilted.

He was really in a fog when he heard it. Sitting here for a few hours really killed him.

"Is there any need for the questions I asked earlier?" Ren Shaochun's lips moved slightly, trying to control the movement of his face when he spoke, "Now I'm asking his mother if she knows Wu Mao. Could it be that she suspects that his mother killed Wu Mao? ?”

Before Ren Shaoyan could answer, Ren Shaoming pinched Ren Shaochun's leg under the table and warned him not to talk, but to listen carefully and study hard.

The confused Ren Shaochun could only bite the bullet and continue to look at Shen Qingling.

"Yes, yes." Yu Mu nodded.

The yamen servants were considerate of Yu's mother's age, so they brought her a wide chair so that she could sit and answer.

"Continue." Shen Qingling waved her hand, "Tell me about the kind of person you know Wu Mao, or what kind of relationship you have with him."

In Yu's mother's memory, Wu Mao was about the same age as his son, and had similar personalities. They were both honest and friendly people on weekdays.In fact, she and Wu Mao have nothing to do with each other. It is just that when Wu Mao gets off work every day, it happens that her son goes to work, so she will say hello a few times on weekdays, or help her with what she can do.

"Any more details?"

With an extremely gentle voice, Shen Qingling guided the elderly woman step by step to recall what happened a few years ago. It was difficult, but Shen Qingling's patience and calmness had initially paid off.

Mother Yu gradually recalled some trivial things that would have been ignored in the past.

"Yes, there seems to be something." She frowned, turned her head slightly to the right, and looked at Shen Qingling, "Wu Mao seems to be at odds with others... The villain can't remember when it happened, but that person came up Wu Mao's family beat him once."

That time Wu Mao got hurt on the face.

He didn't dare to miss his errand, so he went to ask his mother for wound medicine.

Yu's mother can remember this now because she didn't have any at home at the time. She went to a neighbor and asked for half a bottle of hemostatic medicine and gave it to Wu Mao. In the end, she gave Wu Mao a few copper coins and returned it herself.

"Do you know who beat him? Your house is not far from his house, maybe other neighbors know about it?" Shen Qingling continued to ask.

But Yu's mother is old after all, and it's not easy to recall this.So for Shen Qingling's next few questions, she just shook her head blankly, expressing that she couldn't remember clearly.

When Yu's mother and Yu Ben were taken down together, and the clerks took their confessions to the side hall to sort them out, Ren Shaochun couldn't sit still at all.He got up in a hurry, ran to Shen Qingling's side in twos and outs, and asked curiously: "What is your purpose for asking these? Now have you figured out who killed Wu Mao?"

"If I said, I believed in Yu Ben from the beginning to the end, would you understand?" Shen Qingling asked Ren Shaochun in no hurry to answer.

Ren Shaochun's eyes were still empty, without any clue.

"So you want to work hard on Wu Mao, instead of just staring at Yu Ben to investigate." Ren Shaoming understood immediately, and said, "In this way, Wu Mao may have been killed by others, and then Yu Ben was deliberately killed by others. Planting? But judging from the files, the government had thoroughly investigated the people around Wu Mao at that time, and there was no one who had any enmity with Wu Mao."
