[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 6 Under the Moon [English]
byAlthough the spring night wind is cool, it is not biting.With some humid water vapor during the day, it was heavy and heavy, making people breathless.
Liang Weiping looked at the pretty boy in front of him and took a deep breath to prevent himself from fainting. Even his voice couldn’t stop trembling when he asked.
“You…what did you say about you?”
Lin Wanqing’s fists hidden under her sleeves were pulled tightly, and she replied in a vindictive voice: “I said I wanted to interrogate Wang Hu.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Liang Weiping pulled her sleeves tightly.
“Ancestor…As my brother, I beg you, please stop seeking death…”
She glanced at Liang Weiping who was crying, but didn’t seem to hear what he said. She just pulled back her sleeves and walked quickly in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion.
“Lin! Lin Wanqing! Lin Wanqing, stop!” Liang Weiping chased after him, furious.
But Lin Wanqing didn’t look back at all, not even a trace of sluggishness in her steps.
Liang Weiping felt the veins on his forehead twitching, “Do you know what the crime of breaking into Jingzhao Mansion’s death row is?”
“I’m from Jingzhao Mansion, so what’s the point of trespassing?” Lin Wanqing asked confidently.
“But you’re suspended.”
“Li Jingzhao asked me to suspend my duties tomorrow, which means that until midnight tonight, I will still be from Jingzhao Mansion.”
“…” Liang Weiping choked, as if he could never get over Lin Wanqing’s reasoning in this matter.
“Do you have to go?” He asked with a weak breath, almost desperate.
“Yeah.”
A firm word, falling into the dark night, is particularly sonorous.
The night is as dark as water, and things around you are indistinct.
Under the dim street lights where he was not very awake, he looked at Lin Wanqing’s too thin side face, the glimmer of light in his eyes flowed, and he suddenly felt that something became clear.
Forget it, once this person’s strong ass temper comes up, even ten horses can’t pull him back.
This is the only thing about she that is not lovable; but this is the only thing that makes her the most lovable.
Liang Weiping suddenly stopped his chaotic steps. Seeing the light gray figure walking farther and farther into the night, he sighed helplessly, “I am in Qingyaju.”
I don’t want to follow her to die, but if something happens, Lin Wanqing needs to know where to find he to collect the body.
Lin Wanqing in front trotted all the way, the sound of water splashing in her ears.The accumulated rainwater on the bluestone road mixed with mud, and soon stained the corners of her robe, leaving deep and shallow marks.
Su Moyi said she didn’t understand Wang Hu’s case.
She really doesn’t understand.
Which case can only be investigated at the cost of wrongfully accusing people?
Besides, besides Wang Hu, the wronged person also has She.
After ten years of hard work and time, if she wants to give up all this, she must leave clearly and clearly.
After all, it can’t be dismissed with just “you don’t understand.”
No one can be reconciled.
Lin Wanqing’s thoughts were racing, the wind was blowing at her feet, and in a blink of an eye, she had arrived at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.
As soon as she turned around, she walked in from the side door.
There were many servants in the Jingzhao Mansion. Although the jailers did not have much interaction with the civil servants on weekdays, Lin Wanqing often helped record confessions and went to the prison a lot, so she had some colleagues’ friendship with some of the jailers.
Now she is still wearing the official uniform of Jingzhao Mansion, and she also has a wooden sign indicating her identity. Besides, it was she who followed Li Jingzhao to see Su Moyi in the morning.Let’s just say that some files were incomplete before. Now it shouldn’t be too difficult to go in and take another confession.
Besides, it would be easier to fool him if there were fewer people there during a shift change at night.
As expected, the jailer at the door of the prison looked at the wooden sign and saw that she was in a miserable state.He felt that it must be an urgent matter arranged by the superiors, so he didn’t dare to delay and let her in.
In the dark and cramped death cell, the oil lamp burned out black smoke, leaving mottled marks on the wall, like ghosts.
The atmosphere in the slightly empty space was stagnant, and the musty smell of hay and a faint fishy smell filled the air.
Kongkuo’s footsteps rang in his ears, making Lin Wanqing nervous for no reason.
Under a half-dark oil lamp at the end of the death cell, a ragged man sat slumped.His messy sideburns obscured his face, and in contrast to the filthy surroundings were the semi-dried blood stains on his clothes.
It was too conspicuous, dyeing the plain white prison clothes reddish brown.
“Wang Hu?” Lin Wanqing tried to call.
The first thing that responded to her was the sound of a string of iron chains.
The man was like a frightened animal, panicking and hiding in ignorance.
Lin Wanqing didn’t expect he to react like this. He hesitated and took a few steps back before seeing he quieted down in the corner, looking down at her.The corners of his mouth kept moving and making some rustling noises.
It was only after Lin Wanqing walked in that he heard what he was saying: I’ve done it, I’ve done it all…
Lin Wanqing was stunned for a while, then asked in a soft voice, “What did you do?”
The person in front of me paused, and his voice was a little louder, filled with uneasy fear and anger.
“I was the one who killed her. I was the one who killed Aunt Zhao. I was the one who killed her…”
At this point, Lin Wanqing finally understood why Wang Hu admitted to this unfounded crime.
All unjust cases in the world are nothing more than two situations: one is unable to speak out, or one is beaten into submission.The person in front of me must be the latter.
He knew that he was captured at the scene, and the deceased was the beloved aunt of a third-rank official in the court.It is already difficult to escape unscathed.Presumably Li Jingzhao must have said something to him, which should have ended all his hopes and thoughts.
Coupled with severe torture and pressure, it is easy for people who are already panicked to lose control in such a dark and dark environment.Become to follow what others say and ask for everything.
Lin Wanqing had no choice but to continue asking, “You said you killed Aunt Zhao, but do you still remember what weapon you used?”
The person opposite was in a daze for a while, as if he was trying to search for something in his mind, and then he said: “A knife, a… a short knife.”
Lin Wanqing frowned slightly and asked with a cold face: “You clearly carried a sword during your night patrol.”
Carry a sword, but use a knife.
This doesn’t make sense.
As expected, Wang Hu was stopped by the question. He hesitated and made no sound. His blood-stained hands gripped the iron chain tightly, with a cold white look on his face.
“Wang Hu, listen to me. The emperor has handed over this case to Mr. Su of Dali Temple. Mr. Su knows that you have been wronged, but because you have confessed your crime, he can no longer interfere.” Lin Wanqing took a few steps forward, her voice getting softer, “As long as you tell the truth, Mr. Su will definitely reverse the case for you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him finally raised his head.
A pair of eyes full of fear and confusion, looking at Lin Wanqing doubtfully through messy hair.The dry lips opened and closed, murmuring and struggling.
“Wang Hu,” Lin Wanqing stepped forward and squatted on the ground to look level with him, “do you know that once you admit this crime, you will definitely die, and you won’t even have to wait until autumn to be sentenced to death…”
“What?”
Wang Hu’s body trembled slightly, and he stared at Lin Wanqing with a pair of gloomy eyes, and replied in disbelief: “But…but Mr. Li said that as long as I admit the case, he will protect me from death. He can even send me out of Shengjing, and Mr. Song will never cause trouble for me…”
“Wang Hu,” Lin Wanqing came closer and climbed onto the fence with hands soaked in cold sweat, “Master Su is your only hope now.”
The person in front of him made no sound, as if he was caught in an invisible battle between heaven and man.
The oil lamp above his head was extinguishing and extinguishing. Occasionally it made a soft crackling sound, sparks splashed out, and then went out again quickly.
The surroundings are quiet, but also noisy.
Lin Wanqing heard the thumping in his chest and locked his gaze on Wang Hu, as if he wanted to poke holes in him.
After a long time, he finally said: “I didn’t kill anyone. When I went there, Aunt Zhao was already dead.”
Lin Wanqing’s heart trembled and she asked, “Why are you going to a woman’s boudoir in the middle of the night?”
Wang Hu smiled bitterly, “She is a distant relative of my childhood sweetheart. Before she married into the Song Dynasty, she was promised to me as my wife. It’s a pity that God’s will plays tricks on people…”
“Are you going to have a tryst with her?”
Wang Hu shook his head and said helplessly: “Since she married into the Song Dynasty, we have never seen each other again. Until a few days ago, I met the Song Dynasty’s carriage on the street. She took the opportunity to hand me a note and begged me to take her out of the city at night. I just thought that she had changed her mind and wanted to rebuild our old relationship with me, so I agreed. But I couldn’t wait for anyone outside the house that night, and I was worried about her safety, so I wanted to explore…”
“I never thought that you would find her body as soon as you went there.”
“Exactly…” Wang Hu seemed to be mocking himself and said with a smile: “She lost her mother when she was young, and then her father. She finally recognized her cousin from the Hou family, but in the blink of an eye she was married to a place like that. I had known this…”
There was unconcealable self-blame and regret in his tone, and he finally swallowed the rest of his words.
Lin Wanqing knew that now was not the time to get emotional, so he continued to ask: “Then did you find any suspicious people nearby?”
Wang Hu buried his head in thought for a while and said hesitantly: “It seems that before I entered, I saw a woman.”
“Oh?” Lin Wanqing became interested, “What kind of woman?”
“It’s a bit far away, so I can’t see clearly. She is generally not tall, and she is dressed like a maid from the Song Dynasty. She seems to have a leg disease and has a slight limp when walking. But she just stayed around for a while and left without going in.”
Lin Wanqing frowned, and her smart eyes lost some of their luster.
It seems that Wang Hu cannot provide any useful information, but it at least confirms that he was really wronged.
As for that woman, no matter whether she is related or not, she is a clue that cannot be let go.
Lin Wanqing thought for a moment and said to Wang Hu: “I’m going to get some paper and pen to give you a confession. You have to sign and certify it. I will find a way to deliver this confession to Mr. Su.”
Seeing that Wang Hu was silent for a moment and then nodded in agreement, she turned around and ran out of the prison.
The moon poked its head out at some point, casting little silver rays on the quiet and cold spring night, seeming to brighten Lin Wanqing’s mood.
There was a little faint fragrance floating in the wind, and Lin Wanqing moved her nose. It was the spring peach in Jingzhao Mansion.The moonlight is shining, and the peach tree is like a handful of pink clouds under the moon, and the breeze blows.
Light sweetness with a bit of warmth.
She raised her eyes happily, and in her peripheral vision, a rouge color flowed very quickly, accompanied by dots of cold white.
Lin Wanqing was startled subconsciously, and when she turned around to look for it, she saw only pink rain falling from the sky.
There is no rouge color at all, it must be that the petals flying in the air have confused her eyes.
She then felt relieved and continued running to the nearest file room.On the way, I met two Jingzhao government officials who were patrolling together. They were laughing and gesturing with their long swords under the moonlight.
Maybe the moonlight was too bright, but the silver light was turned by the blade of the sword and turned into a little cold light in Lin Wanqing’s eyes.
Wait…
The hands that were about to touch the wooden door were hanging in the air.
Lin Wanqing’s eyes were filled with the cold white light from the haze just now.
That’s not the moon, but…
But…
A cold sword!
His breath was stagnant, and a shiver rose up his spine.
Lin Wanqing didn’t even bother to pick up the pen and ink. She just picked up the feet of her robe and ran towards the death row.
