Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 62 The Truth ([-])

Seeing Di Renjie coming out, Li Yuanfang stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "My lord, are you alright?"

He turned his head to look at Wang Mang again, and complained, "Why are you and your lord in prison?"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Okay, great! Yuan Fang, don't blame Jing Yang, I told Jing Yang to keep quiet."

At this time, Zeng Tai was still kneeling on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Di Renjie glanced at him and said with a smile: "Okay, okay. Your county please get up. Not only will I not punish you, but I also want to thank you!"

Zeng Tai was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't believe his ears, and knelt on the spot dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Li Yuanfang shouted: "My lord, don't let me get up quickly. How decent is it in front of a prison full of criminals!"

Only then did Zeng Tai get up from the ground trembling.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "If it wasn't for your county's help, how could I have entered the prison, and how could I have met Zhang Chun and Wang Wu?"

Wang Mang also laughed and said, "I asked your master to do this, otherwise I wouldn't be able to meet my lord!"

Embarrassed on Zeng Tai's face, he forced a smile on his face, saw Di Renjie and his group walking out, and hurriedly followed.

Zhang Chun and Wang Wu looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.

At night, the second hall of the county government.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai are analyzing the case.

Di Renjie carefully looked at the bloody bundle in his hand, pondered for a moment, looked at Zeng Tai, and said, "According to Gui County, is there conclusive evidence in this case?"

Zeng Tai hurriedly bowed from the side and replied, "Exactly."

Di Renjie looked at the package Wang Mang found on the boat again: "Only with these two packages in your county, can Zhang Chun and Wang Wu be convicted of murder?"

Zeng Tai was taken aback, raised his head, and said, "Returning to my lord, the dead body, silver taels, and murder weapons were all found from Zhang Chun's house. The silver taels and clothes in the other package were all obtained from Wang Wu's boat."

Wang Mang nodded and said, "I found this parcel from Wang Wu's boat, but I don't think Wang Wu himself knew that there was so much silver in his boat! Moreover, as Wang Wu is a person, if he knew If you have so much silver and don’t hurry to hide it at home, how can you put it in the boat?”

Zeng Tai said: "Elder Ge, Uncle, I once suspected that the two had a grievance. But now, with the witnesses and material evidence, the two confessed to murder..."

Wang Mang said with a smile, "Admitting that you kill someone doesn't necessarily mean that you really killed someone."

Zeng Tai was taken aback, not understanding the meaning of Wang Mang's words.

Di Renjie smiled indifferently: "Gui County, why don't you work harder, and accompany me to the workshop to have a look at the dead body."

Soon, Wang Mang, Di Renjie and his party came to Wu Zuojian.

Two male corpses were lying on the reed mat, and Wu Zuo was already waiting on the side.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie came to the two corpses and inspected them carefully.

After Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at the corpse, they raised their heads, looked at each other, and smiled tacitly, obviously they had already made up their minds.

Di Renjie coughed lightly, and asked Wu Zuo beside him, "What's the result of the autopsy?"

Wu Zuo replied: "My lord, the male corpse in Zhang Chun's backyard had a stab wound on the neck, and there was no sign of poisoning. The male corpse in the lake was strangled to death, tied to a stone and sank to the bottom of the lake, and there was no sign of poisoning. Judging from the degree of decomposition of the two corpses, both should have died ten days ago."

Di Renjie nodded after hearing this, and asked, "Anything else found on the corpse?"

Zeng Tai replied from the side: "Except for two packages, there is nothing."

Di Renjie nodded: "Present the evidence."

Hearing this, Zeng Tai hurriedly handed the package from Zuo Zuo to Di Renjie. After Di Renjie took it, he carefully looked at the bloody kitchen knife found at Zhang Chun's house.

After looking at it for a long time, Di Renjie handed the kitchen knife to Wang Mang. Wang Mang took the kitchen knife and looked at it carefully. The knife was covered with blood, and there was a big bloody handprint on the handle.

Although Wang Mang had known for a long time that this was a left handprint, just to be on the safe side, he held the handle of the knife with his hand and found that the bloody handprint did not match his right hand.Then he shook it with his left hand, and it turned out to be a bloody handprint on his left hand.

Di Renjie watched Wang Mang's movements and nodded slightly. After Wang Mang finished watching, he handed the knife to Li Yuanfang, and Li Yuanfang also looked at it.

Di Renjie asked: "Have you seen anything special about this kitchen knife?"

Li Yuanfang turned the kitchen knife over and over to look at it several times, but couldn't see why, so he frowned and said: "My lord, there is nothing special about this kitchen knife."

A look of disappointment flashed across Di Renjie's face.

Zeng Tai asked strangely: "Mr. Ge, what did you see?"

Di Renjie didn't speak, but looked at Wang Mang, who said, "This is a bloody handprint on the left hand."

Di Renjie nodded with a smile.

"Left hand!"

Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai said in surprise.

Li Yuanfang immediately stretched out his left hand and grasped the handle of the knife, and it was indeed the imprint left by a left hand.

Di Renjie nodded and said, "On the surface, Zhang Chun killed someone."

Zeng Tai nodded hastily: "The humble official thinks so too."

Di Renjie went on to say: "The deceased was wearing clothes made of silk. Judging from the material and style, he should be from the north."

Zeng Tai replied: "I also thought of this point."

Di Renjie asked back: "Have you ever thought about it, how can a foreigner go out without bringing his residence and identity documents?"

Zeng Tai pondered for a long time, then slowly shook his head.

Wang Mang said: "The reason is very simple, that is, after the murder, the murderer took away or destroyed identification documents and other evidence that could prove the identity of the deceased."

Zeng Tai nodded upon hearing this, and praised: "Not bad! Not bad!"

Di Renjie also nodded, and asked Zeng Tai again: "If the murderer is Zhang Chun, since Zhang Chun has time to destroy the documents after the murder, why would he be so stupid to leave the murder weapon and the stolen money in the wall of his home, and let the policemen know?" turn up?"

Zeng Tai was speechless and unable to answer.

Di Renjie said: "Also, after checking Zhang Chun's house today, I found that there was no trace of blood in the pit where the corpse was buried. Does your county think this is normal?"

Zeng Tai said: "This, maybe the blood on the corpse has dried up."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Under normal circumstances, it takes two to three hours for the blood to solidify. If Zhang Chun really killed the man, do you think he would be so stupid as to bury the body after two or three hours. If it were you, Would you do that?"

Zeng Tai was speechless.

Wang Mang continued: "Then there is only one explanation. Zhang Chun woke up in the morning and found that the host was dead. He was afraid that he would be involved, so he buried the body in a panic."

Zeng Tai couldn't help nodding, and praised: "Yes, yes, the blood on the corpse has dried up at this time, so there is no blood in the corpse pit!"
