I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

This is one of the big doubts.

There was no arsenic in Ji Yuanwai's prescription, so what did he buy arsenic for?

At that time, the amount he bought was not large, so why did he buy it in two stores?Is it because you are afraid that buying too much will cause suspicion, so you will buy separately?

Second, during the period when Ji Yuan was bedridden outside, the husband and wife took the medicine, decocted it, and fed it by themselves, and Ji Min was only in charge of taking care of it.

All the servants of Jifu have proved this point.

That is to say, Du Cheng and his wife have a lot of opportunities to make a move."

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help asking: "Since my father-in-law has these evidences, which are enough to convict them, why worry?"

"Because it was so smooth! It can be said that it took almost no effort. The witnesses and physical evidence were quickly completed, including the paper wrapped in arsenic."

Gu Ming couldn't help but smiled: "Father-in-law, I'm afraid there are more than this reason? I believe that in the heart of my father-in-law, I still don't quite believe that their husband and wife will be murderers."

"Yeah, judging from various clues, everything seems to be clear in this case, and there is nothing to investigate.

However, based on the analysis of the couple's reputation, word-of-mouth, personality, etc., it is unconvincing.

However, his husband and wife seemed to have been hit too hard, and they were dumbfounded. No matter whether they were in court or in prison, they kept silent, neither admitting nor denying it. "

"Then did they draw a bet?"

"No, once the charge is made, the case will be settled, so I just ordered someone to make a record, and I haven't asked them to make a charge for the time being.

My son-in-law, help me analyze and analyze. Is there any doubt in this case? "

Gu Ming thought for a while, and said: "If I follow my thinking, then don't care about any evidence.

Because evidence tends to make people preconceived and lead people in the wrong direction. "

"The problem is that the case must be based on evidence"

"Father-in-law, even if you want evidence, it's time to finalize the case. Now that the case has not been finalized, you might as well speculate on some possibilities, or some seemingly impossible possibilities.

First of all, since Ji Yuanwai was poisoned, anyone who made a profit would be suspected.

Including that Ji Min, the suspects are equally serious. "

"I've thought about this. She does have a motive, but so far I can't find any evidence to prove that she did it."

"Father-in-law, we can use the reverse thinking method. Suppose we identify Ji Min as the murderer, and then investigate her from this direction, it may be easier.

If she is the murderer, my son-in-law believes that she is not a very smart woman, and it is impossible for her to do things so seamlessly.

That means that there is likely to be a helper behind her.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis, and the suspicion of Du Cheng and his wife cannot be completely ruled out.At the same time, Mrs. Ji and even the servants in the mansion are also suspicious. "

Nie Hongshu shook his head with a wry smile: "The problem is, these people have been checked one by one, and there is nothing suspicious."

"How about I go to the prison to meet Du Cheng and his wife for a while, maybe I can get them to speak the truth."

"Great!"

Hearing this, Nie Hongshu was pleasantly surprised.

This is also the purpose of his coming here, because he has witnessed Gu Ming's ability with his own eyes, and he doesn't need to be tortured at all.

"Master, Uncle, the dishes are ready, do you want to serve them now?"

"Put it on, let's chat while drinking."

Nie Hongshu's mood improved a lot in an instant. He took the wine jar and patted off the mud seal, ready to drink to his heart's content.

The case has always haunted him.

Now, with the help of his son-in-law, he believes that the truth will be revealed.

After drinking, Weng and his son-in-law chatted for a while before they walked out of the yard together to the South Prison.

"See you two adults!"

As soon as the two arrived at the South Prison, a group of jailers hurried forward to salute.

"Well, go and open the door of Du Cheng's cell."

"Yes, my lord!"

Entering the prison, Gu Ming found that Du Cheng really looked dumbfounded, his eyes were empty, and he had an expression of lovelessness.

Seeing someone coming in, he just glanced subconsciously, and then lowered his head again, unlike some criminals who yelled wronged when they saw someone entering the cell.

"Bold Du Cheng, why don't you hurry up and meet the two adults?"

The jailer shouted viciously.

"Okay!" Gu Ming waved his hand: "You all go out!"

"Ah? My lord, this is a repeat offender"

The jailer who followed in had a look of embarrassment on his face.

If something happened to this, how could they bear it?

"It's okay, you all go out."

Nie Hongshu followed suit.

Now, several jailers could only helplessly respond, and retreated one by one.

"Your name is Du Cheng?"

Gu Ming stepped forward and asked a question.

The other party remained silent.

"Well, actually, I have an intuition, maybe you and your wife are not the real murderers, so why don't you defend yourself?"

The other party remained silent.

This is not a problem for Gu Ming, after all, he is already at level 5, even if he is dumb, he has to let the other party speak today.

"Silence doesn't mean your heart is at peace, I can completely sense your mood swings.

If it is said that it is not a light charge to convict your husband and wife in this way, they will definitely be beheaded.

Even if you are not afraid of death, you can imagine how it felt when your beloved wife was beheaded? "

Having said that, Du Cheng finally reacted, raised his head suddenly, and moved his lips a few times

But after all, he still didn't speak.

Gu Ming continued: "If you imagine it again, once you subdue the law, your husband and wife will always bear the infamy and leave a bad reputation for thousands of years.

Even if you go to the underworld and bear such a big crime in the underworld, you will go to the eighteenth level of hell, and I am afraid that you will never be able to turn over."

"I didn't"

Du Cheng finally opened his mouth and said a few words as if he was muttering to himself.

Seeing this, Nie Hongshu was overjoyed, but he didn't speak, fearing that he would ruin the atmosphere.

In fact, he has said similar things before, but it is a pity that no matter how much he persuades, it is useless.

"Nothing? Didn't kill anyone, or have no regrets? Tell me, no matter how tortuous the process is, I will definitely make decisions for you and clear up your grievances."

Gu Ming continued to persuade

Chapter 2 The truth gradually emerges...

Under negative emotions such as despair, pessimism, guilt, numbness, etc., a person will often inadvertently close his heart.

Du Cheng was obviously in such a state.

Therefore, no matter how Nie Hongshu interrogated and persuaded him before, he would not open his mouth.

To put it simply, it is to put a heavy shackle on the soul.

But Gu Ming's eloquence had a magical effect at this moment, as if a key had unlocked the shackles of the soul.

Coupled with his emotional and reasonable words, Du Cheng's attitude finally changed drastically. He no longer passively resisted, but covered his face and cried bitterly.

It's right to cry.

This means that the pressure in his heart is indeed great and needs to be released.

After crying for a while, Du Cheng finally started to talk about the case.

But what surprised Gu Ming and Nie Hongshu was that he admitted the testimony of those witnesses.

"The arsenic was indeed bought by a villain, and the medicine was indeed fried by cheap people, and it was she who brought it to feed my father to drink."

Nie Hongshu couldn't help but frowned: "Huh? What do you mean? You mean that the poison was conspired by the two of you?"

Du Cheng nodded and shook his head with a sad face.

"Maybe it's us but maybe it's not us"

"What do you mean you are not you? Could there be a third person involved?"

"My lord, the villain can't tell what's going on now, I feel like I was fascinated by ghosts at that time."

Hearing the word "ghost", Gu Ming couldn't help but move his heart. He gave Master Taishan a look, signaling him not to ask questions, and then he observed carefully.

As a result, nothing unusual was sensed.

If a person is possessed by a ghost, or has been possessed by a ghost recently, it is almost impossible to hide from Gu Ming's perception.

After all, his current realm is enough to rival the real masters in the arena, and his discernment has also been upgraded to level 2.

That can almost rule out being possessed by ghosts and doing something that is not what one wants.

That's a little weird.

"My lords, this villain is not trying to absolve me of my crimes. No matter what the reason is, I bought this poison and it has nothing to do with the scumbags. Please, my lords, learn from it."

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but whispered to Nie Hongshu: "Father-in-law, why don't you ask Ji Yao about the situation again."

"Well, let's go!"

So, Weng and his son-in-law went to the cell where Ji Yao was imprisoned.

The expressions of the husband and wife are the same, both of them are in a state of numbness without love.

The difference is that Ji Yao didn't say a word. When she asked her something, she muttered to herself and repeated a sentence: "I killed daddy, I killed daddy"

Gu Ming could sense it completely, this woman was not pretending or acting, but an expression of her nature, a state of nothing more than heartbreak.

This shows that everything is not from her heart.

There is something else wrong with this.

Gu Ming asked for a while as usual, but Ji Yao's answer was similar to Du Cheng's.

"You know your husband bought arsenic back?"

"Know!"

"Who put the arsenic in the decoction?"

"I can't remember exactly how many times the Minnv and Xianggong played it together, but they played it several times."

"Since you know it's arsenic, why put it in the medicine soup?"

Ji Yao looked confused: "Minnv really doesn't know"

Upon hearing this, Nie Hongshu couldn't help saying angrily: "Just now you said you knew it was arsenic poison, now you say you don't know?"

"What this girl means is that I don't know why I put it in the medicine soup even though I know it's poison.

Looking back now, it seems that it was not regarded as poison at all at the time, but as a general introduction to medicine."

Hearing this, Gu Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help asking: "It means that you and your husband were a little confused at the time, and everything you did seemed to be an instinctive action?"

"Yes, my lord, that's how it is, Minnv really can't tell what's going on, woo woo woo"

Speaking of this, Ji Yao was heartbroken and wept bitterly.

As usual, Gu Ming also used his discernment to inspect his body carefully, but found no ghost possessed, or any signs of being possessed in the near future.

But judging from the performance of the husband and wife, it should not be lying.

In other words, the two of them seemed to be possessed by evil spirits during those two days, unable to control themselves or in other words, they were controlled by ordinary mysterious forces.
