Chapter 7 The real culprit
Chapter 7 The real murderer
"Dean Ke, even though you have a lot of talent in the world and have disciples and disciples in high positions, you have no right to stop me from judging the case." Shen Luo put his baggage on the table.
Ke Fenglin and Song Xuesheng looked at Shen Luo stroking his own baggage as if stroking his beloved object, and suddenly felt that his hands and feet were cold and they did not dare to speak.
It is rumored that Shen Situ, the Secretary of Beizhen Prefecture, carries a black baggage with him. Inside the black baggage is a unique weapon that His Majesty ordered the world's best swordsmith to tailor-make for Shen Situ. Everyone who has seen the weapon has died.
"The two elders come from a well-known family and are highly respected. But there are some people and some things that are not your responsibility." Xie Yunsheng looked at the two of them and warned softly, waving his sleeves with looming silk python patterns.
The two elders had also gone to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit and had seen the majesty of the royal family. Today, they were frightened to death by Shen Luo, and when they saw the silk python pattern, their legs were so weak that they almost fell to their knees.
The two of them did not dare to say anything and helped each other take a step back.
Seeing the two of them take a step back, Xie Yunsheng withdrew his gaze and took the case files and read them one by one.
"Sir, what do you mean?" Xi Shengdong looked at Shen Luo with a trace of doubt in his heart.
Mr. Shen is very strict in his actions and has never exceeded His Majesty's love.
Why are you so rude to the two deans today?
Zhou Yu covered his neck, his face turned pale and he was very weak: "Sir, what do you mean?"
Shen Luo ignored Zhou Yu, raised his chin with his fingers together and looked around at the people around him. His eyes were cold and deep, and he asked everyone in a deep voice: "Do you think a servant who can't stand being frightened by words and doesn't show up to himself has such deep thoughts? Can you kill several people in a row without revealing any flaws?"
Xi Shengdong asked cautiously: "Didn't he admit that he had killed many people just now? Why do you still question it?"
"It was Lu Wenzhao who killed Miss Gu, but he was not the one who killed the other six women."
After saying that, Shen Luo looked at Xi Shengdong, who was full of doubts, and reminded: "Lu Wenzhao is a scapegoat pushed by the people behind it."
"Your Majesty has something to say clearly." Xi Shengdong swallowed secretly, his head was as blurry as paste.
"Early this morning, I interrogated the servants of the Gu family. Yesterday morning, someone deliberately approached Lu Wenzhao. After that, Lu Wenzhao seemed to be a different person."
Shen Luo put down his hands, took the case file handed over by Xie Yunsheng and looked through it: "Someone amplified his inner desires and aroused his murderous intention. The purpose was to close the cases related to him and start a new life. .”
"Is it right?"
After saying that, Shen Luo put down the case file and looked at Zhou Yu, his eyes were as cold as ice and as sharp as a knife: "Zhou Yu, Master Zhou!"
There was silence in the hall, and you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone looked at Zhou Yu intently, with faces full of surprise and disbelief.
Zhou Yu ranked first in the provincial examination at the age of eighteen. His parents died when he was about to take the examination at the age of twenty-one. He stayed in mourning for three years and missed the scientific examination, so he stayed in Zhending Mansion to teach.
He is modest, courteous, and fair in his dealings. Occasionally, he will give generously to students who cannot afford the tuition fees.
How could such a kind and honest young man be a murderer?
"Master Zhou is definitely not the murderer!" Ke Fenglin, who fell silent, took three steps at a time before rushing forward to defend Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu is his student, with first-class character and appearance. He got married to his daughter not long ago, so he can never be the murderer.
The prints on Zhou Yu's neck were extremely bright red against his pale face.
He stepped forward and accused: "Master Shen, how can you slander me like this?"
"Master Shen, as a woman, entered the court from the rivers and lakes, and set an example for women in the world. How can you now talk nonsense and damage your reputation?"
Zhang Liao placed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he had prepared on the desk, and then began to grind ink for Xie Yunsheng.
Zhang Kangshou stood in front of Xie Yunsheng, who picked up his brush and started recording the case file.
Shen Luo saw Xie Yunsheng taking the initiative to take on the responsibility of master's records and copywriting, and looked at Zhou Yu: "You killed those women because you were about to get married, and the woman who was about to marry you was Ke Xin, the only daughter of the dean of Jinghe Academy. willow."
"You know very well that as long as you marry Ke Xinliu, you can take the scientific examination with the help of your father-in-law, the dean, and then rise to the top."
"But the scientific examination is strict. All applicants must report their names one year before taking the scientific examination. Then the court will check all your past, parents, and marital status."
As he finished speaking, Shen Luo looked at the pale Zhou Yu in the hall and said, "Your past is as stinky and disgusting as the sour water in the gutter. So you decided to commit another crime and found a scapegoat to taint yourself." Erase the dirty past and crimes together."
"Nonsense, what are you talking about?"
Zhou Yu clenched his hands and tried his best to restrain his inner impulse, and then said coldly: "You can't slander someone just to add to your credit book."
"Although I don't hold any official position, I am a candidate for promotion and examination. It is a capital offense for you to frame me by falsely accusing me."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Dean Ke immediately stepped forward: "Master Shen, how could you slander my son-in-law and damage the reputation of Jinghe Academy like this?"
"If you can't produce evidence today, I will risk my life to go to Beijing to see the emperor and accuse you of slander and frame-up."
The situation became tense instantly, but Shen Luo did not move at all. Instead, he looked at Zhou Yu with interest: "Since you don't recognize anything, I will tell you a story!"
After finishing his sentence, Shen Luo didn't wait for others to speak, then continued: "In the twenty-fifth year, a baby boy was born. His mother died of illness when he was five years old, and his father married another the following year. Later, his mother was violent by nature, and she was an accident, and she gave birth to two children. Face, she is virtuous and generous in front of her husband, but in front of her step-son, she curses and accuses her, fights with fists and kicks, and abuses and humiliates her."
"The young man ran away and met people from the martial arts world and began to practice martial arts. The experiences he encountered at an early age left a bad seed in his heart. The young man did not dare to attack his stepmother, so he left his hometown to study. In Luohe City, he met a woman who looked very similar to his stepmother. There is a black mole at the end of my eyebrow, which looks like ink."
"The young man followed and defiled the woman and then disfigured her. From then on, he could no longer control his inner anger and committed twenty-nine crimes."
"Master Shen, this case you are talking about has impressed me." Xi Shengdong immediately took over and said: "The case was very sensational at that time. The prisoner was highly skilled in martial arts and his methods were vicious. The government was unable to solve the case, so they jointly issued arrest documents and invited people to go to sea. Bounty hunter hunts down murderer.”
"In the end, a dozen bounty hunters found the thief's traces and worked together to encircle and suppress him. No one survived. After that, the thief never committed another crime, and the case ended without a problem. The thief took the opportunity to retreat."
When Xi Shengdong saw that the cases before and after were similar, his eyes widened with shock. He hurriedly looked at Shen Luo and asked, "Master Shen, could it be that Zhou Yu is the flower-picking thief Flying Fox?"
