Zhou Mingsheng was stunned for a moment, then he realized, "You were the one who helped the master of Qingwu Courtyard that day?!"
Yang Qingyuan nodded matter-of-factly.
"I am a close friend of the master of Qingwu Courtyard. I was entrusted by her to go to Qingwu Courtyard that day! I happened to meet Boss Zhou and his people causing trouble there."
"Master Yang misunderstood, Zhou definitely did not go there to cause trouble!"
Zhou Mingsheng misunderstood for a moment and mistakenly thought that the master of Qingwu Court was Yang Qingyuan's concubine. Yang Qingyuan was only pursuing him because of what happened in Qingwu Court that day. He immediately gave up and explained.
"Master Yang! You must believe me! I really didn't know about your relationship that day, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to offend Master Qingwu. You still remember, right? I listened to your last song at that time
Shi, I saluted you right then!"
Yang Qingyuan held a tea cup in his hand and smiled without saying a word.
Zhou Mingsheng calmed down when he saw Yang Qingyuan's appearance.
Yang Qingyuan's reputation is known to everyone in the capital. If he said that he wanted to deal with him because of a conflict, Zhou Mingsheng wouldn't believe it!
"Master Yang, what exactly do you want to do?!"
Yang Qingyuan put down the tea cup in his hand, "I am the Young Minister of Dali Temple. Of course I invite you here to investigate the case! There is a case that requires your assistance in the investigation!"
Although Zhou Mingsheng knew that the person who came was evil, he still said yes!
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang! What I, Zhou Mingsheng, admire most are honest officials like you who seek orders for the people. If there is anything I can do to help, I am obligated!"
"That's great! Boss Zhou assisted Dali Temple in the investigation, and he is indeed a good citizen of Dazhou! After the case is concluded, I will definitely issue a good citizen certificate to Boss Zhou on behalf of Dali Temple to commend and encourage Boss Zhou's
A righteous act!"
Of course, the premise is that Zhou Mingsheng is still alive!
"Thank you, sir!" Zhou Mingsheng felt that the tense atmosphere just now was easing.
"Then let's get started!" Yang Qingyuan motioned to Ji Yaohua, the scribe, to start recording.
"Boss Zhou, where were you on the eighth day of April this year!?"
Yang Qingyuan's first question made Zhou Mingsheng's heart sink.
Zhou Mingsheng clearly remembers this day. The eighth day of April was the day Liu Xue was raped and murdered.
But Zhou Mingsheng couldn't show it on his face, "Ah?! It's the eighth day of April! I have to think about it carefully."
Zhou Mingsheng pretended to think for a while and then said, "It should be in the capital of God! I can't remember clearly!"
"Oh?! Really?! Since Boss Zhou can't remember it! I'll help Boss Zhou recall it! Wannian County, Wanli Gambling House!? I wonder what impression Boss Zhou still has?!"
The expression on Zhou Mingsheng's face froze, and then he suddenly realized something.
"Master Yang, when I said this, I remembered that on the eighth day of April, I should have been in Wannian County to deal with the matter of Wanli Gambling House... Why did Master Yang ask this?!"
Yang Qingyuan did not answer him, but instead questioned, "Did Boss Zhou really forget, or is there something that he cannot tell me?"
"Master Yang, you can't say this nonsense!" I would never dare to deceive Master Yang. It's true that I have too much business in Gyeonggi and I often travel here and there in various places in Gyeonggi.
I can’t remember!”
"Can't remember!? It doesn't matter. I will help Boss Zhou remember it! Boss Zhou, don't be impatient!"
These words made Zhou Mingsheng even more anxious. Yang, who was so confident, must have found out some of the facts, otherwise he would not dare to go to the East Palace to ask for someone without evidence.
"Boss Zhou, someone in Wannian County has testified that you were in Wannian County from February to mid-April this year. I wonder what kind of business you were doing?!"
Zhou Mingsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard someone testify, but then he realized that this was just Yang Qingyuan's trick.
"My lord, you are joking. What kind of business is this? There is really something wrong with the business. Your lord may also know that this gambling house was opened by me and Feng Qian, the son of Duke Ying..."
"I don't know!" Yang Qingyuan deliberately disrupted Zhou Mingsheng's rhythm.
"...Yes, Feng Qian and I opened it together, and the gambling house in Wannian County was managed by people from the Duke of Ying's government. It seems to be my negligence. There was a debt collection incident in Wannian County.
, a life lawsuit that drives people to death!”
Zhou Mingsheng reorganized his confused thoughts and continued to explain.
"Because the gambling house has always been managed by the Duke of Ying State, in order to avoid suspicion and to show his attitude, Mr. Feng asked me to handle the matter of Wanli Gambling House in Wannian County. In this matter, Mr. Feng
Did you know?!"
"I asked Feng Qian! This is no problem?! But does it take so long to deal with such a matter?!"
Zhou Mingsheng saw that Yang Qingyuan seemed to believe him a little, and immediately expressed his bitterness, "Sir, you don't know how treacherous those unscrupulous people are. In order to settle this life lawsuit, I paid their family a total of 500 taels of silver! This is why they are sure
Let’s give it up. It’s just because this family is in trouble, so we spent a little more time!”
Yang Qingyuan's lips sneered with a hint of disdain.
"Yes! I checked and found out that this family has moved away now! According to their neighbors, they have gone to live with distant relatives!"
They were distant relatives. Yang Qingyuan believed that this family had probably been murdered and thrown into some barren mountain.
"But someone said that they once saw Boss Zhou walking arm in arm with a young woman at an art exhibition, and they had a very happy conversation!!"
"Slander, this is slander!!"
Zhou Mingsheng heard this and shouted, "Mr. Yang, I have been handling affairs conscientiously in Wannian County. How could I run out and travel arm-in-arm with some woman?!"
"Haha," Yang Qingyuan chuckled, "Boss Zhou is nervous. In our country, traveling with women is not a crime, so why are you so excited?!"
Zhou Mingsheng also realized that his reaction was excessive.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "On the eighth day of April, does Boss Zhou know that a big event happened in Wannian County?"
Zhou Mingsheng kept thinking, what exactly did Yang Qingyuan want to ask?! How should he answer and respond.
"Sir, Zhou is in urgent need of urination. I wonder if I can go and relieve myself first!" While Zhou Mingsheng was thinking, he suddenly felt the urge to urinate. He drank too much water while waiting for Yang Qingyuan, and now the urge to urinate was as strong as a tide.
Yang Qingyuan felt happy, this was the effect he wanted.
Zhou Mingsheng was obviously mentally prepared when he came, and it would be difficult to find any flaws through general questioning.
Let him urinate urgently and then not let him relieve himself. This can make Zhou Mingsheng physiologically irritable.
"Boss Zhou, don't be impatient. There are not many questions. Once I finish asking them, I will let Boss Zhou leave!"
Seeing Yang Qingyuan's refusal, Zhou Mingsheng could only smile and said while suppressing the urge to urinate.
"Zhou Mou heard about it, it seems that there was a life lawsuit!?"
"Yes! I don't know why, but a white jade fan pendant belonging to Boss Zhou appeared at the murder scene?!"
As he said this, Yang Qingyuan took out the jade pendant.
When Zhou Mingsheng saw the jade pendant, he knew that Yang Qingyuan had found something wrong with Li Shou's case.
"Sir, this jade pendant is not mine! It belongs to Young Master Feng Qian!?"
"So, Boss Zhou thinks Mr. Feng is the real culprit in this case?!"
Zhou Mingsheng would not say this directly.
"I don't know about this! But this jade pendant is definitely not mine!"
"But before Boss Zhou, I have already asked Mr. Feng! He said that this jade pendant seems to have been lost?! It was lost in the Songhe Tower in the Divine Capital!"
Zhou Mingsheng didn't understand what Yang Qingyuan was trying to do with his hammer and stick! In addition, the urge to urinate kept coming, and he became even more upset.
Anyone who has experienced this irritating feeling of trying to relieve oneself but not being able to do so knows it.
"I remembered, this is what happened! At that time, we even found someone to search the entire Songhe Tower, but we couldn't find the whereabouts of the white jade fan pendant."
Yang Qingyuan could sense that Zhou Mingsheng was already irritable at this time.
"By the way, I forgot to tell Boss Zhou! I have already found out that Boss Zhou is the master behind Songhe Tower."
"You're talking nonsense!!"
Zhou Mingsheng was obviously anxious!
"Master Yang, this kind of joke is not allowed!"
Regardless of Zhou Mingsheng's anger, Yang Qingyuan gave three high-fives, and seven or eight people wearing various brocade robes came in from outside.
They all stood next to Zhou Mingsheng, and Zhou Mingsheng also stood up. At this time, Zhou Mingsheng still didn't know what Yang Qingyuan wanted to do, and most of his thoughts were already spent on suppressing the urge to urinate.
After everyone stood still, Yang Qingyuan high-fived him three times again, and a fat-headed man with big ears came in from the door of the interrogation room.
"Chen Dafu, take a closer look, which one of these people is your boss at Songhe Tower!?"
Fatty identified them one by one from the beginning.
Zhou Mingsheng smiled disdainfully when he saw the fat man. This man was not a high-ranking person in Songhe Tower at all. How could he recognize him?
Zhou Mingsheng, who was in urgent need of urination, straightened his back generously. He was not afraid of Zhou Mingsheng! Just come!
When Chen Dafu walked up to Zhou Mingsheng, he said without hesitation, "Sir, it's him!"
This result made Zhou Mingsheng unbelievable. He had never seen the person in front of him before, and he was not a senior executive of Songhe Tower. How could he recognize him?!
This is wrong!
"Sir, this is slander! This person is not from Songhe Tower at all."
When Chen Dafu saw that Zhou Mingsheng refused to admit it, he immediately spoke.
"Sir, I don't. I am the chef of Songhe Tower and my boss's personal chef. No matter whether he eats at home or in Songhe Tower, he only eats the dishes I cook! He has to take me with him wherever he goes.
!”
Zhou Mingsheng, who was anxious and urgent to urinate, had gradually lost his mind at this moment!
"You are so slanderous, but I don't have a private chef?! I don't even know this person?!"
"Oh?! This is weird! Chen Dafu just mentioned that he is the personal chef of the boss of Songhelou. Why did Boss Zhou bring him in?!"
"I!……"
Only then did Zhou Mingsheng realize that he had just said the wrong thing.
Maybe everything from the tea at the beginning to the recognition now was all designed by Yang Qingyuan! In order to make himself confused.
"You just made a slip of the tongue?!"
Yang Qingyuan had already mastered the rhythm. After waving for everyone to leave, he took out a porcelain cup with his right hand wearing a whale skin glove.
It was the porcelain cup that Zhou Mingsheng used to drink from just now.
"Does Boss Zhou still recognize this porcelain cup?! This is the cup that Boss Zhou drank tea from just now! Today I am going to teach Boss Zhou a knowledge point - fingerprints!"
Zhou Mingsheng is a businessman, so he naturally knows about fingerprints.
Fingerprints are business transactions and are used to prove the identity of the signer when signing an agreement. The signature can be forged, but the fingerprint cannot be used.
Any bulk commodity transaction, or the transfer, sale and lease of shops, merchant ships, etc., will use fingerprints to sign the agreement to ensure its effectiveness.
It is not a secret that Dali Temple can detect fingerprints.
However, the extraction method and even the retention time of the fingerprints have been one of the core secrets of Dali Temple.
"I don't know why, but this white jade fan pendant actually has Boss Zhou's fingerprints on it!"
Yang Qingyuan flicked his finger and shot out the candles in the interrogation room with a wisp of sword energy.
The light was dim at this time, but the white jade fan pendant in Yang Qingyuan's hand actually lit up with fluorescence, and it happened to be in the shape of a fingerprint.
Then Yang Qingyuan sprinkled some of the powder on the porcelain cup.
The same fingerprint appeared in front of Zhou Mingsheng.
"I don't know why, but the fingerprints on this white jade fan pendant are exactly the same as those on the porcelain cup that Boss Zhou just used!? I don't know how Boss Zhou explains this!?"
Zhou Mingsheng's mind was in a state of confusion. Under the dual psychological and physical anxiety, Zhou Mingsheng was already confused.
"Sir, Feng Qian and I are close friends. I have also played with this jade pendant. Isn't it normal to find my fingerprints on it?!"
"Hahaha! The ignorant are fearless!" Just when Zhou Mingsheng was about to stand up, Yang Qingyuan pressed on Zhou Mingsheng's shoulders. With a burst of true energy, Zhou Mingsheng, who was about to stand up, was pressed down on his seat.
"Boss Zhou, do you know? The method we use to extract fingerprints is not mature enough! Currently, we can only extract fingerprints that are four to five months old, and we did not extract Feng Qian's fingerprints on it."
Zhou Mingsheng's left hand began to tremble slightly in his sleeve, and there were already traces of himself on the evidence in Liu Xue's case.
"We just mentioned that Feng Qian's jade pendant was lost when he was having dinner at Songhe Tower, but your fingerprints can be found on it, which means that four to five months ago after the jade pendant was lost,
, you have touched this jade pendant before!"
"I……"
Zhou Mingsheng was at a loss for words for a moment.
He didn't expect that after so long, his fingerprints could be extracted from the white jade fan pendant and used as evidence against him.
"Don't worry, Boss Zhou, I still have something here!"
As he spoke, Yang Qingyuan took out an iron sword from the sword box on the side.
After Zhou Mingsheng saw it, a slight cold sweat broke out on his back. Not only did he recognize this sword, he had also touched it!
Yang Qingyuan could extract fingerprints from a long-ago white jade fan pendant, let alone this black iron sword?!
At that time, he saw the word "jade" on the hilt of the sword, and wanted to take the sword as his own and give it to his sister. However, he was shocked by the reputation of the sword's owner and gave it up.
There are definitely my fingerprints on this sword!
