Magician little princess

Chapter 22

"Capturer Liang wouldn't beat the suspect into a trick, would he?" Zhuge asked suddenly with a smile.

Her question stunned Liang Baowen, the arrester who had already prepared the torture equipment looked at their heads, Liang Bao gave a dry cough, and signaled them to put the things back.

Ouyang Shaoqing raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Your official can now explain Zhao Yi's purpose and method of killing one by one. If the third lady has anything to add, you can add it." Liang Bao smiled proudly at Zhuge, and his eyes shifted to Zhao Yi's face.

Zhao Yi was not optimistic because he could avoid the punishment now, but became more nervous: "I didn't kill my father!"

"You have!" Liang Bao's voice definitely overwhelmed Zhao Yi in terms of momentum, "You have enough reasons to kill your father - you are addicted to gambling!"

Zhao Yi's face turned paler, his lips trembled and he lowered his head: "Although I like to gamble, I didn't kill my father."

"However, half a month before your father was killed, many employees in the restaurant saw your creditors chasing you for debts, and your father scolded you in the backyard; three days before your father was killed, you owed the dragon You stole your mother's jewelry at night but was discovered, your father was furious, beat you with a pole, and even kicked you out of the Zhao family... These servants of the Zhao family all It can be proved. On the morning of your father's death, you were guarding the gate of Zhao's house, and you had an argument with your father. When you were angry, you said to your father, 'I must kill you'..." Liang Leopard listed these obvious disputes one by one, and looked at Zhao Yi's increasingly pale face, without any sympathy.

"Did he really do it?" Zhuge asked with a smile.

"No!" Zhao Yi immediately shook his head, "Third Miss, I was just talking out of anger, I didn't, I didn't really kill my father..."

"But at half past three o'clock, someone saw you appearing from behind Mingyue Tower with a bag in your arms." Liang Bao's voice became colder and harsher, "Master Long's men are watching from the back alley of West Street. When it came to you, you were originally asked to pay back the money, but because you panicked, all the money in the bag fell out. You also told them that the debt was paid and there will be no more ties in the future. Do you want me to go to Long Those fellows under my master came to confront you?"

Zhuge Xiaoxiao's expression didn't change much, she saw Zhao Yi's expression in her eyes, and when Liang Bao looked at her, she just asked Zhao Yi: "Zhao Yi, now you still want me to help you?" Clean up your grievances and tell the truth, otherwise I won’t be able to help you.”

Liang Bao took a look at her, and snorted coldly in his heart. The evidence for this case has been conclusive, no matter how much Zhao Yi tried to tell her nonsense, he couldn't let him fly out of the prison!
Zhao Yi's lower lip was already bleeding out from his bite, and he looked at Zhuge smiling with expectation, but also seemed a little desperate.

In the end, he closed his eyes, opened them again, and said, "I went to the cashier just to steal some silver... When I was guarding the door that day, I put laxatives on my father's fingers. I will subconsciously ask for my own finger after he is killed. I was afraid that he would go to the accountant suddenly, so I used this method just in case..."

"The onset of the laxative was one hour after taking it. I waited for a long time until two o'clock to do it, because the owner of the shop told me that after one hour of laxative, people would lose their strength, and the time to go to the latrine was too long. It will be longer. That day, that day is also the fifteenth day, and my father wants to make drunken chicken for Miss San... So I used that spare time to steal silver, I only stole broken silver, and I didn’t touch anything else.” Zhao Yi It was very guilty and remorseful to say it, and tears fell to the ground.

"You took advantage of your father's weakness and entered the cashier's room, and killed him to steal the money!" Liang Bao said loudly.

"I didn't!" Zhao Yi also raised his voice, "I didn't kill my father!"

"You have, the jade pendant you wear is the best evidence." Liang Bao held a jade pendant on his finger, which was brought from a servant of the Zhao family, "You had a dispute with your father, so the jade pendant hit The cabinet is missing a piece. And you have a guilty conscience, so you dare not go through the door, but use light skills to escape, but unfortunately...someone saw you leaving from the backyard!"

Jiang Ning was also brought in, his face extremely pale, as if he would collapse at any moment due to weakness.

When he saw Zhao Yi who was tied to the torture rack, his face also changed slightly, but he felt a little guilty for a while.Because he had a flaw when answering the official's question, he was even tortured in private and told the "secret".

In this day and age, the interrogation of prisoners is not necessarily a separate question, and it is not strange for two people to ask questions together.And Zhuge Xiaoxiao also understood the reason why Jiang Ning was arrested - not because Jiang Ning was a suspect, but because he was the most important witness!
Zhao Yi looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief. Jiang Ning felt guilty because of his gaze, and his body trembled slightly.

Liang Bao looked at the reaction of the two of them and sneered in his heart. Soon after making a gesture, one of his subordinates came over with a wooden bucket, which was half filled with water, and put it beside Zhuge Xiaoxiao's feet. .

Zhuge smiled and saw that Jiang Ning's eyes showed fear when he saw the bucket, and his pupils also enlarged a lot. From this, she could judge that Liang Bao might have sent someone to interrogate her before that.

She subconsciously glanced inside the wooden barrel, and saw the tiny white crystals at the bottom of the barrel, which should be the silica in the coarse salt, which had not melted.

When she was about to speak, there was a sudden reflection in the bucket. Although the water was shaking, she could still see clearly.

Liang Bao took a step forward, Zhuge smiled and raised his head: Speechless!

A tile on the roof was uncovered, and a handsome face could just be seen.

Seeing Zhuge Xiaoxiao, Bai Xiuyu realized that he was not guilty, and instead waved at her as a matter of course.Ouyang Shaoqing touched his nose, feeling a little ashamed, the Marshal of their family is still the Ninth Prince, the representative of the Xixia Kingdom, unexpectedly appeared on the roof of the prison in such a sneaky way.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao retracted his gaze and decided to ignore the existence of that person on the roof.Bai Xiuyu saw that she looked away calmly without piercing himself, stretched out a finger and scratched his chin, wondering what he was thinking!
