Hua Jianli shook off her hand, "You denied knowing the deceased Zhang Suwan before, then do you know Taohua?"

Yaji's eyes widened immediately, "Taohua...how is she?"

Hua Jianli sighed, as expected.

"Want to know? Come with me?"

Soon, the person was taken to the Dali Temple.

Qin Changge, who was sitting at the top, had a blank expression on his face and asked in a deep voice, "Ya Ji, do you know what you have done?"

The lawyer sat in his old seat, holding a brush, sitting upright, recording the case.

"The villain...killed someone."

In the hall, Yaji was kneeling straight with a pair of lifeless eyes and head lowered. She was thin and had long hair hanging down. There were no pearl hairpins on her head. A smoky green dress made her look like an innocent fairy.

Her voice was soft and helpless, like a trapped bird.

This person doesn't look like a murderer at all, but more like a helpless little kid being bullied.

The lobby was filled with puzzled looks, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Qin Changge asked again, "You said someone was killed. Who was killed? When did he kill him?"

Yaji took a deep breath, "Just a few days ago, I killed that woman."

"Which woman?"

"A person who admires me but also threatens me." When she said this again, tears flashed in Yaji's eyes, and her already dazed expression became even more helpless.

Hua Jianli could see that Yaji felt deeply guilty about those deaths.

How could such a person be the murderer?

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility. Could it be that she was not the real murderer and was taking the blame for someone else?

"Then tell me, who was the person you killed? How did you kill her? What was your motive for the murder?"

"The first person I killed was Zhang Suwan. A few days ago, she came to Lihua Class to look for me and asked me to meet her in Xingzilin to discuss something important with me. She said that if I broke the appointment, she would tell the world my secret. I couldn't stand it, so I went to the appointment. I wanted to have a good talk with her, but she actually made excessive demands on me, so I killed her..."

What is so excessive that one person could kill another?

"What did she ask of you?"

Yaji clenched and unclenched her hands, unclenched and clenched them again, and after a long while she said, "She asked me to elope with him..."

what?

This time, everyone was shocked.

"Who was responsible for the baby in Zhang Suwan's belly?"

"Mine too."

Huh? Everyone was shocked when this was said. You two are both women?

Yaji kowtowed again, "Your Excellency, you may not know that this is also the reason why I killed Zhang Suwan. It was because she discovered my male body, so she used this as a threat and asked me to... give myself to her. But I had someone in my heart, so I refused sternly, but she refused to give in. I was forced into a corner, so..."

Qin Changge looked at Hua Jianli. He knew that Hua Jianli was proficient in medicine.

Hua Jianli nodded and stepped forward, "Yes, he is a man, and Liu Gen's biological son."

This had been confirmed when I took his pulse before.

what?

"She is a man?" The master was also stunned. He lowered his head and looked carefully at the woman in front of him, but he could not connect her with a man.

"That is to say, you are the real murderer of Zhang Suwan, but you have an alibi every time!"

“Evidence can also be fabricated.”

"So you did something nice to her and then killed her."

"Yes!" Yaji remained calm. "I strangled her to death while she was addicted to it, and then poured poison gas into her nasal cavity..."

She then confessed that Wang Xian tried to molest her and was killed in the same way. As for Sun Bang and Li Gou, they suspected her and were also silenced by her.

"Where did you kill Zhang Suwan? You said before that you were singing at Wang Yuanwai's house..." Hua Jianli asked.

"That day, after I finished singing, I went straight to the apricot forest. Zhang Suwan was already waiting there. We..."

"Are you sure you killed her in the apricot forest?"

"Sure!"

"What did Zhang Suwan wear that night? How did she tie her hair? What did she hold in her hand?"

"She..." Facing Hua Jianli's three consecutive questions, Yaji hesitated, "What she wore that night was..."

"All right!"

Hua Jianli came closer to her, "Do you know? When we saw Zhang Suwan's body, she was naked, and there was not even a piece of cloth next to her... Do you know what this means?"

Yaji was silent. She didn't know what to say.

"This means that Xingzilin was not the first murder scene. She was transported there." Hua Jianli explained to her...

"besides……"

Hua Jianli placed a painting in front of her, "The person in the painting is Zhang Suwan, maybe you should take a good look at her..."

Yaji took the scroll that Hua Jianli handed over. The familiar touch, the familiar drawing paper, and the unique smell on it...

My heart suddenly trembled.

Zhang Suwan!

She unfolded it slowly with shaking hands. The people inside were familiar to her, and every stroke was her masterpiece.

Grape flowers!

Zhang Suwan is his sister Taohua!

How can it be!

The naughty and stubborn woman who pursued him relentlessly was Zhang Suwan!

Fifth brother, you lied to me!

Every expression of Yaji was captured by Hua Jianli.

"The city gates were closed at midnight. Before that, apart from the carts carrying night incense, there were only people pulling swill... Before, someone pretended to be Xuanyuan Weiwei in the inn. I suspected that it was you, but I didn't believe that a weak woman like you could carry Wang Xian to the Ministry of Works. I felt that if we had to find a suspect, Wu Dong seemed more convincing, but Old Liu rushed to confess."

Yaji looked up and met her gaze, the shock in her eyes so obvious.

"So, by now, Wudong should have escaped, right?"

"No." She denied quickly.

"Sir, my fifth brother only returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. He did not escape. I am the murderer. Please arrest me. I am willing to accept all punishments!" He prostrated himself with his hands in front of him, "I beg you to release my father."

In fact, even if the fifth brother and the others didn't arrest him, he planned to surrender himself.

Sister Taohua died because of her.

Wudong committed all the crimes because of himself. He couldn't let his fifth brother be in danger, nor could he let his elderly father suffer for him.

After so many years, he no longer had any hatred or resentment, and the grudge between them was wiped out.

"Going back to my hometown, what a coincidence." Hua Jianli is not a three-year-old child. He will go home as soon as he says so.

"Did you know that two more people died in the capital last night, and the method of committing the crime was exactly the same as before." Hua Jianli stared at her profile and found that all her pores were trembling.

"Tell us where Wudong went!" Hua Jianli said temptingly.

"He returned to his hometown and left yesterday..." He promised himself that he must have gone home, he must have.

"Then sir, this Yaji..." The lawyer wanted to ask, since she was not the murderer, should she be released.

"Wait..." Hua Jianli said, "She can't leave."
