The team at Jingzhao Mansion already had a good way of handling cases, but they had been stuck in a bottleneck before and didn't know how to break through.
Now that we have clues, everything will be easier to handle.
However, it is also difficult to solve the case within the deadline.
Because, even if there is a suspect, it will take time to confirm, and after confirmation, the whereabouts need to be traced and brought to justice.
In other words, within about half a month, it would be almost impossible to catch the murderer.
However, Yu Wenhao and everyone in Jingzhao Mansion breathed a sigh of relief. Now, the murderer has been basically identified, and he is Zhou Zhi, the Sanhua Lang from Heling Road.
As everyone knows, Jianghu is nicknamed Sanhualang, he is good at hidden weapons and poisonous needles, and he will do anything for money.
As long as the murderer is identified, even if the murderer is not caught within the deadline, the emperor and Chu Shoufu will have nothing to say.
However, I don’t know if God favored Yu Wenhao.
On this day, a secret report was received, saying that Zhou Zhi would appear in a ruined temple on the outskirts of Beijing at night.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Yu Wenhao led people to lurk first, and in the end, Zhou Zhi was really caught.
After returning to the Yamen for the first trial, Zhou Zhi confessed everything and all the details were correct.
Everyone in the Jingzhao Mansion was naturally happy, but Yu Wenhao had to think deeply about who was the person who reported Zhou Zhi's whereabouts?
And the most important thing is that Zhou Zhi did not deny it and confessed everything. As for why he showed mercy to the baby, his answer was very reasonable and reasonable. He couldn't bear it because he had a pair of children.
Yu Wenhao quickly ordered people to go to Hop Ling Road to investigate and found that Zhou Zhi's family had left and their whereabouts were unknown.
I asked people at Hop Ling Road and they said Zhou Zhi did have a pair of children, twins, who are only a little over a year old now.
Everything is flawless, Zhou Zhi can also tell the story of the murder, and can even provide the hatchet used to chop the person. After the coroner's verification, it was indeed the murder weapon.
As for the rotating drum that releases the poison needle, it is also presented.
Yu Wenhao felt that everything went too smoothly, as smoothly as if Zhou Zhi deliberately cast a net after killing someone, especially the calm and calm expression on his face, which was even more suspicious.
However, everything pointed to Zhou Zhi, and he also admitted that, supposedly, there was nothing to continue investigating in this case.
Yu Wenhao submitted the file to the Ministry of Punishment and then went to the palace to report it to Emperor Ming Yuan in person.
It just so happened that Prince Ji was also waiting in the imperial study room.
When King Ji saw Yu Wenhao coming, he thought that today was the deadline, but he was smart and knew how to apologize first.
"If you don't hurry up and handle the case, why did you come to the palace?" Emperor Ming Yuan was practicing calligraphy. There were so many sons, and the eldest was the one who could write the best. Therefore, he most likely liked the eldest to be with him when he was practicing calligraphy.
Yu Wenhao knelt down on one knee and said, "Replying to my father, the case has been solved and the murderer was caught. After interrogation, the murderer all confessed!"
King Ji was shocked, raised his head suddenly, and blurted out, "Impossible!"
Yu Wenhao looked at King Ji, "What does "big brother" mean by "impossible"?
King Ji knew he had made a mistake and said quickly: "No, I mean that the fifth brother has completed the impossible task this time, which really surprises the eldest brother."
Yu Wenhao said with a half-smile: "Brother thinks this is an impossible job? But, isn't this the deadline that eldest brother gave me in front of all the officials in the court?"
King Ji's expression changed slightly, "Brother didn't know that the case was so complicated at the time."
Emperor Ming Yuan glanced at Prince Ji indifferently, and then looked at Yu Wenhao with joy, "Okay, has the verdict been reached in this case?"
"Back to my father, it has been handed over to the Ministry of Justice for review."
The Jingzhao Prefecture can handle major cases by itself and does not need to transfer them to the Ministry of Punishment. However, because it attracted the attention of all parties and gave the Jingzhao Prefecture a time limit to solve the case, Yu Wenhao transferred the case to the Ministry of Punishment and then the Ministry of Punishment sentenced the sentence and the Ministry of Punishment executed it to show fairness.
.
Emperor Ming Yuan was surprised, and his eyes couldn't help but soften a little, "Well, you are very thoughtful in your work, I am very pleased. Let's talk about this case."
