The three of them took their confessions and hurried to the interrogation.
This case has been brought to the attention of Heaven. His Majesty personally issued the decree, and His Royal Highness King Yi personally took charge of the case. The three departments jointly investigated.
No one dares to take it lightly, and the efficiency of handling cases is very high.
Zhan Beihan was only given half an hour.
Cui Li and the other three were so anxious that they tried all kinds of methods. Finally, they pried open the mouths of the problematic servants before the deadline and obtained fresh confessions.
Soon, these confessions were delivered to Zhan Beihan.
The first three confessions came from the maids of the Shen family.
They all mentioned one thing at the same time: the day before the sudden death of the old Marquis, that is, three days ago, Aunt Li, who had left the mansion privately, quietly returned to the Shen Mansion and met with Aunt Hua.
All three maids saw Aunt Li entering Aunt Hua's house.
The two of them stayed alone for nearly two hours, without a single maid around them, so no one knew what they said in the room.
One of the maids saw Grandma Li leaving, and her confession was as follows:
"When Grandma Li left, she seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on her face. She also said hello to the slave. The slave asked her where she was going, and she said she was going to do something for Madam."
Zhan Beihan tapped the confession with his fingertips: "Isn't this Nanny Li the one who followed the Forbidden Army to identify Shen Wan?"
Cui Li: "Yes."
Du Yanbo added: "Not only that, she was the one who took the initiative to search the Jade Building with Wei Chen when she was in the Shen family."
Zhao Chengwei: "Did she suggest the search?"
Du Yanbo shook his head: "No, it was Aunt Hua who first suggested that Shen Wan might be the person who murdered the old Marquis, and then Aunt Li stepped forward and said she could lead us to Jade Tower."
Cui Li said thoughtfully: "Mother Li seems to have a grudge against Shen Wan?"
"This was also mentioned in the confession of the servants of the Shen family. It was said that Aunt Li was ordered to throw away Shen Wan's things. Shen Wan wanted to retaliate, but Aunt Li sneaked out of the Shen family, and the two became friends. Liangzi."
Zhan Beihan asked abruptly: "Why did Aunt Hua have a miscarriage?" The Shen family's confessions all mentioned Aunt Hua's miscarriage.
Also three days ago.
"It's because the Shen family was deprived of their title. Stirred by the bad news, Aunt Hua accidentally had a miscarriage."
Du Yanbo added: "However, there is a domestic doctor in the Shen family. According to his confession, Aunt Hua had a bad pregnancy and miscarriage is normal. There should be no doubt about it."
Zhan Beihan was noncommittal.
He picked up the last confession, glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth curved with interest.
"This is interesting..."
This confession came from a servant of the Shen family, a very inconspicuous person.
But he mentioned an important situation in his confession that none of the other Shen family members mentioned.
The confession read: "Two nights ago, the servant went to the toilet in the middle of the night and heard a strange noise in the Jade Building. He quietly looked at it and saw a strange figure appear and disappear quickly, as if he had seen a ghost."
Zhan Beihan said with a smile but not a smile: "Three days ago, a lot of things happened in the Shen family."
First, there were two imperial edicts, one was that Shen Wan was deprived of his title, and the other was that Shen Wan was made the county lord.
Then Aunt Hua had a miscarriage, and the old Marquis suffered a stroke of rage.
Aunt Li escaped from the Shen family, secretly returned to the Shen residence that night, and met privately with Aunt Hua, who had a miscarriage. Then, under unknown orders, she left the Shen family again, and her whereabouts are unknown.
This all happened on the same day.
Then at midnight the next day, the old Marquis died suddenly and mysteriously, and a servant saw a figure appearing in the Jade Tower in the middle of the night.
On the morning of the third day, the Shen family discovered the body of the old Marquis. Shen Zhijiang beat a drum to complain. The Ministry of Punishment sent people to investigate and found a witchcraft doll in the Feicui Building. This chapter has been completed!
