Chapter 4 Revealing the Face
At some point, the twin brothers guarding Lu Qingfan escorted a handsome young master to the execution ground. Although the two men did not shackle the man, the two masters guarded him closely and the man could not be killed.
What little tricks does the law have?
One of the Leng brothers has clear eyebrows and the other has a cold temperament. They have exactly the same appearance. Yun Xi can tell who is Leng Hai at a glance.
Leng Hai winked at Yun Xi and signaled her to rest assured.
Yun Xi nodded with a smile, then looked at the "suspect" who was taken into custody, and a glint flashed in her eyes.
This young man looks very similar to the murderer she just deduced... nine times out of ten.
As soon as Mr. Nie saw this man, he stood up and shouted angrily: "Lu Qingfan, how brave are you! You dare to escort my son to the execution ground for investigation. Could it be that he is a murderer?"
"Based on Yun Zuo's guess about the murderer, I have searched for Qingzhou locals who meet the requirements in the past few years, and Mr. Nie is one of them. In order to avoid wrongly accusing a good person, I want to test Mr. Nie in public. I wonder what Mr. Nie wants to do?" Lu Qingfan
He took the initiative to hand the steps to Mr. Nie.
Having said that, Lu Qingfan actually thought of Lord Nie's direct son Nie Zheng immediately.
Because Nie Zheng once induced the police to arrest Zhang Sheng, and Nie Zheng did not have sufficient evidence of alibi when the deceased was murdered... The most important point is that Lu Qingfan did not explain it in public.
Five years ago, Nie Zheng fell in love with the daughter of Qingzhou Tongpan and had obvious motives to harm others.
Yun Xi said that if there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences.
"Don't panic, sir. You will know if he is a murderer after an examination." Si Zongyi, the prosecutor in charge of the sentence, said coldly, which was like cold water pouring into Lord Nie's heart.
If he continues to prevent the public examination of the murder, Mr. Nie will be suspected of covering up.
In a daze, Mr. Nie remembered that when he returned to the inn that day, he happened to see his soaked son coming back from the outside. At that time, Nie Qin did not think about it, but solemnly asked Nie Zheng to change his clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold...
Now that I think about it, wasn't that the approximate time when the fifth woman was killed?
A terrible guess arose in his heart. Once this guess took root, it would instantly grow into a towering tree like a fertilized sapling, shaking the sense of luck in Master Nie's heart.
Here Yun Xi has already cooperated and took out four more plaster skulls, which shows that they are really "prepared".
She said innocently to Mr. Nie, who had an ugly face: "The civilian girl was afraid that she wouldn't have enough, so she specially prepared an extra set."
The people suddenly realized, no wonder Miss Yun's baggage was so heavy that it could kill a person, and there were so many things in it! It was hard for her to carry it on her back.
At this point, there was no need for Mr. Nie to speak, and Zong Yi raised his hand to signal the start of the test.
Nie Zheng didn't say a word from beginning to end. In full view of everyone, he took the hammer and struck it on the four skulls.
After a while, all four skulls had slight cracks.
Even if Yun Xi didn't say anything, the people and officials who were watching could also see that Young Master Nie seemed to be obeying the arrangements, but in fact he had some reservations about the strength of banging his skull.
"Young Master Nie, why don't you try harder?!"
"Hey, I'm afraid there's something wrong in my heart!"
"Master Nie has been an official for many years, but his son is a serial murderer. This is too..."
"Looking at Young Master Nie's stature, I agree with Miss Yun's inference!"
…
The people became more and more convinced as they talked, and finally fell silent when Yun Xi copied the comparison chart of skull cracks.
Yun Xi raised the rice paper in her hand so that everyone around her could clearly see: Even though the cracks extending out were obvious, the two cracks that appeared with the same number of blows were surprisingly similar.
"It's you." Yun Xi looked at Nie Zheng with determination and concluded in a deep voice.
It's over, everything is over.
Lord Nie fell back on his chair with a pale face.
At this moment, he finally understood why Yun Xi's speculation about the murderer seemed to indicate that he was the murderer. Judging from the murderer's trajectory, even if the murderer was not him, it was someone around him.
And his son is all in line.
"Although Zhang Sheng's time in and out of Qingzhou is consistent with the time when the deceased disappeared, Zhang Sheng is not a native of Qingzhou, but settled here with his parents after being transferred to the Criminal Division three years ago. He was not qualified to commit the murder five years ago.
"
Lu Qingfan's sharp black eyes stared straight ahead at Nie Zheng, "The real murderer is Nie Zheng."
Nie Zheng stared at the two drawings with splitting eyes, and his expression gradually turned ferocious. He relied on his cleverness, and hid for many years after committing the murder. Unexpectedly, the evidence was caught by a little girl's bone cracking drawing!
"Bitch!" Nie Zheng raised the hammer in his hand and swung it hard at Yun Xi's head!
Even if he died, he would still support this bitch!
The incident happened so suddenly that Yunxi couldn't dodge and instinctively closed her eyes.
There was a soft "whoosh" sound, but the hammer never came down.
Yun Xi opened her eyes and saw the hammer stopped half an inch away from her head. The ferocious-looking Nie Zheng was unable to move, but his eyes wanted to turn into sharp blades and cut her into pieces.
"Miss Yun, don't be afraid." Leng Hai carried Nie Zheng away after his acupoints were tapped, and tied him up with his brother Leng Chuan, muttering: "I really don't have any regrets..."
Only a few seconds after the incident happened, Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief and looked into a pair of worried eyes.
Seeing that Yun Xi was fine, Lu Qingfan immediately turned to Mr. Nie, whose face became increasingly pale: "Young Master Ling had his heart set on Tong Pan's daughter five years ago. Later, he failed to propose marriage. Because of love, he hated her and killed her in a dispute; several other women, or
The description is similar to that of Tongpan's daughter, or she is unwilling to marry Mr. Nie, so she was poisoned by him one after another."
This is the motive for the crime!
"Reading the books of sages is in vain!"
"Nothing better than a beast! You have killed so many lives just for the sake of love!"
"Sir, you must destroy your relatives for the sake of justice!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
…
For a time, the crowd was shouting louder and louder.
Si Zongyi, the prosecutor who handed down the sentence, looked at Mr. Nie with a complicated expression, wondering how he would make a decision.
"You evil beast! You are confused!"
Mr. Nie has been handling cases for several years and has dealt with countless vicious criminals. How could he have imagined that the son he taught so carefully would be a beast in human skin!
"Hahaha..." Nie Zheng burst out laughing, eyes full of hatred staring at his father on the high platform.
"A son cannot compare to his father's wisdom and prowess. In order to keep his position, he would even kill his wife! What does it mean if I kill a few untouchables like ants?!"
"You, you..." Mr. Nie was so angry that he pointed at Nie Zheng, his bastard son, and was speechless for a long time.
Yun Xi looked at Master Nie in surprise, and then turned to Lu Qingfan.
It seems that Nie Zheng's murder was not just for love, but also deliberately to take revenge on this "selfless" Lord Nie, right?
Lu Qingfan shook his head slightly at Yun Xi, indicating that he didn't know the secret.
Master Ren whispered: "Eight years ago, something happened to Mr. Nie's Yue family. Mr. Nie killed his relatives and divorced his wife. Nie's mother did not want to go to jail and be wasted, so she hanged herself from a beam before leaving."
Nie's mother had a fierce nature and she had to die in the Nie family.
Since then, there has been some estrangement between the Nie family and his son.
But no one knew that this gap turned into a murderous monster five years ago, killing five innocent lives.
"Master Nie need not blame his parents for his crimes."
Yun Xi righteously exposed Nie Zheng's hypocritical mask: "If you kill someone impulsively, you will stop after a few hits. But you deliberately imitated the blacksmith Niu Dazhuang's crime method. On a rainy day, the deceased was wearing the same color clothes and carrying the crime tools with him.
