The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 21 Suspect
Chu Yunxi put down the file in her hand and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, I want to take a look at my father's case, is that okay?"
Xiao Mubei raised his head and looked at Chu Yunxi. "I've already asked. The case of the Loyal and Brave Marquis is being investigated by the Ministry of Justice. It has not been closed yet, so the file has not been handed over to the Dali Temple. If you want to see it, I'll ask Bai Yu to get it back from the Ministry of Justice tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Chu Yunxi was truly grateful. You know, this was the only thing on her mind when she came here. By occupying Chu Yunxi's body, she must fulfill her last wish.
Xiao Mubei waved his hand, "I was going to investigate this matter too, but I want to remind you that you can investigate it, but for now you can only do it secretly. After all, this is a case decided by the emperor. If you want to overturn the verdict, you have to ask your father to admit that he was wrong. You should know how difficult this is."
Chu Yunxi nodded, "I understand."
Xiao Mubei felt a little relieved. He said earnestly, "Yunxi, no one in the court dares to mention the three words "Loyal and Brave Marquis" in the palace now. Yesterday, in order to protect you, I bit the bullet and proposed conditions to the emperor. The emperor was furious. You must remember to keep a low profile. When the limelight of this matter has passed, we will slowly look for evidence. Don't worry, I will never let the Loyal and Brave Marquis die unjustly."
"I believe in the prince." Chu Yunxi also understood the current situation. She was able to escape death because of Xiao Mubei's bravery. Otherwise, even if she had the ability to know everything, she would not be able to escape the pursuit of Emperor Sui Ming.
As they were talking, Bai Yu came back and found Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi. "The person has been captured."
The prison in the Dali Temple was much larger than the prison in the Dingbei Palace, and held more prisoners. As soon as Chu Yunxi walked in, some ignorant prisoners whistled, and some even said frivolously, "Is the official being merciful and sending us girls to cheer us up?"
Xiao Mubei frowned and was about to signal Bai Yu to teach him a lesson, but he saw Chu Yunxi had already looked coldly at the person who was speaking. After a while, she said, "You have had severe headaches recently, and you fall down inexplicably when you walk. One side of your body is weak and inflexible, right?"
The man was about to tease Chu Yunxi, but he was suddenly stunned when he heard the words and asked stupidly, "How did you know?"
Chu Yunxi sneered, "Not only do I know that, I also know that your mouth and eyes will soon become crooked, and your speech will become increasingly unclear. Cherish the time you can still speak clearly now."
The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly threw himself on the prison railing and angrily said to Chu Yunxi: "Did you poison me?"
Chu Yunxi smiled, "I don't even know you, why would I poison you? If you do too much evil, God will punish you."
After saying that, Chu Yunxi walked over, leaving the man shouting across the railing until he was hoarse.
Li Jinghong, who was accompanying them, said as they walked, "This man is not a criminal. He just always likes to take advantage of others with his words, so he got into a conflict with someone and accidentally killed someone during the scuffle, so he was thrown into prison."
Chu Yunxi paused, and suddenly turned around, returning to the man. The man was still shouting, but when he saw Chu Yunxi coming back, he was startled and took a step back, stammering, "What...what are you doing?"
Chu Yunxi took out a bottle of medicine and threw it in. "Take one pill each time, once in the morning and once in the evening. It can cure your headache."
The man asked, "How do I know if this medicine is poisonous?"
Chu Yunxi snorted coldly, "If you think it's poisonous, you don't have to eat it."
After saying that, she walked away without looking back, leaving the man standing there in a daze, looking at the medicine bottle at his feet and the words on it that he couldn't understand.
Looking at Chu Yunxi's back, Xiao Mubei shook his head helplessly, "She's really stubborn. She clearly wants to save people, but she's so arrogant."
Li Jinghong smiled and said, "Miss Yunxi is still very kind-hearted."
Xiao Mubei curled his lips and said nothing. He was a kind-hearted, smart and capable person, otherwise he would not allow such a secretive person to stay by his side.
The group walked through the prison and came to the interrogation room, where a man was already kneeling on the ground. He was wearing good clothes, and it was obvious that he came from a well-off family. But Chu Yunxi could tell from his face that he was a narrow-minded person, with hunched eyebrows, a hooked nose, and drooping mouth corners. She had learned a little psychology in her previous life, and knew that people with this kind of face were extremely jealous, entangled, and petty, so they were more likely to commit crimes.
Li Jinghong didn't expect that he could actually catch someone based on Chu Yunxi's conditions. He thought to himself that this woman was really capable.
The arrested suspect is named Fang Wenbo. His family is in the grain business and he is well off. His wife died early, leaving behind a five-year-old child.
Everyone was present. Xiao Mubei signaled to Li Jinghong that he could begin the interrogation. Li Jinghong nodded and asked, "Fang Wenbo, where were you from midnight to 3 p.m. yesterday?"
Although Fang Wenbo was arrested and brought to the Dali Temple in the middle of the night, he seemed to be quite calm. Hearing this, he replied, "Of course I'm sleeping at home."
“Can anyone prove it?”
"Sir, who can I ask for proof when I'm sleeping in the middle of the night? My wife has passed away, and I usually sleep alone."
"Then do you know Widow Liu from Yanliu Lane?"
Fang Wenbo nodded, "Yes, she often comes to my shop to buy food."
"She was murdered last night."
Fang Wenbo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became excited, "Sir, you don't suspect that I killed him, do you? It's unfair. I was sleeping at home last night and didn't go out. The doorman at home can confirm it."
"Then have you ever been to Widow Liu's home?" Li Jinghong ignored his cry of injustice and continued to ask with a sullen face.
"I've sent her food before."
"When? How many times?" Li Jinghong pressed on.
Sweat beads oozed from Fang Wenbo's forehead. "I've delivered it two or three times, but I can't remember the exact time."
"Twice, or three times? When was the most recent delivery?"
Fang Wenbo thought for a moment and said, "Three times. The most recent time was probably last month."
“Does the shop have any record of deliveries?”
"Yes...yes." Fang Wenbo hesitated.
Li Jinghong ordered someone to go to Fang Wenbo's shop to get the records. Soon, the records were brought back. Li Jinghong opened them and saw a familiar day.
May 26th.
According to Liu Jiahuai, when he went to Widow Liu's home on May 27, he saw that Widow Liu's face was swollen, as if she had been beaten. However, Widow Liu said that she had fallen. If she had a conflict with someone the night before, she would most likely have lied for fear that Liu Jiahuai would know that she had an affair with another man.
