Captain Zhao’s face was as black as charcoal. Li Qingcha shook his head. It seems that the ancient people's level of questioning was really not very good. They were probably used to severe punishment in normal times. When they encountered the Zhou family, they could not use torture and could not scare them. They were at a loss on the spot. As for those major cases, with the help of fortune tellers, questioning becomes a trivial trick. Li Qingcha pondered secretly, Zhou Nan having a fish bone stuck in his throat should not be a small matter, it is impossible that no one knows about it. She cast a questioning look at Piaoxue. The latter understood and nodded silently. As expected, Zhou Nan must be an old hand at lying. Not only did he tell half the truth and half the lies, he also knew how to blur out the parts that were unfavorable to him, and when questioned, he used "I can't remember" as an excuse. To deal with such people, you must gradually break down their psychological defenses.
"How is the fish cooked?" Li Qingcha asked as he flipped through the case files. "Fried, deep-fried, stewed, or stir-fried?" Zhou Nan: ??? What kind of problem is this? His mind raced, knowing that he couldn't lie about this kind of question, nor could he "forget" it. After all, I've been stuck by a fish bone before. "Fish soup." Just two words, try not to reveal any extra information. Li Qingcha smiled and said, "Which building's chef did you ask to come to your house to cook it?" "Juxiang Tower." "Juxianglou? That must be Chef Lin." "Xu, Chef Xu." "Oh, I heard that Chef Xu is very skilled. When making fish soup, he has to fry it first. This way, when stewing, the fish soup will turn into a milky white color. Do you know why?" "do not know." "There's a line in a poem called 'Withered scales brave the light snow, and are served as a rich delicacy'. Do you know that?" "do not know." "Then do you know that murder is a serious crime?" "No... Eh?!!!! I didn't kill anyone, stop spitting blood on me!" Zhou Nan's voice was so loud that the ground seemed to be shaking. Li Qingcha clearly felt that the opponent's rhythm was disrupted.
"Don't be nervous, you're fine." "Bullshit!" Zhou Nan responded fiercely, "I'm not nervous." Then, he looked at Feng Weiqi, "Sir, when will this farce end?" Feng Weiqi was calm and composed, and said with a smile: "Director Zhou just said that he will not give up until he finds the real murderer, so, if we end it... hehe..." He took a sip of tea. Zhou Nan gritted his teeth in hatred. "If you keep asking those nonsense questions, I won't keep you company!" The implication is that we can no longer beat around the bush. Li Qingcha held his chin and paced in front of Zhou Nan, "Considering the possibility of an outsider committing the crime... By the way, how was the moonlight last night?" The first thing Zhou Nan thought of was a cloudy day. Otherwise, no matter whether the outsider came in from the door or the window, it would be impossible for my sister-in-law to comb her hair while waiting for the other person to come in. The only explanation is that it was a cloudy day and the lights were dim, so the illuminated area was only a small area in front of the dressing table. But did Li Qingcha really not set any trap? Zhou Nan said nothing. did not expect, "It should be cloudy." Li Qingcha said. "No... yes, it's cloudy." Zhou Nan subconsciously flattered. "No, no, it was a sunny day. The moon was very big and round yesterday, just like a big white and tender steamed bun. Looking at it from afar, it makes people want to go up and take a big bite." "..." incoherent, Zhou Nan was completely confused. In fact, it is normal to not remember some things clearly, not to mention that the brain often makes up a lot of non-existent details. At this time, Zhou Nan would say, "What do you mean by big and round? It's obviously long and wide!" Li Qingcha could only follow, "skr~skr~" But Zhou Nan didn't say anything, so Li Qingcha continued his attack. "Zhou Nan, I noticed that you are very panicked. Are you feeling guilty?" "I don't feel guilty." Zhou Nan answered immediately. "Well, aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will take your life?" "Do not……"
Zhou Nan was sweating profusely. Li Qingcha's eyes narrowed and he suddenly raised his voice, "What on earth did you do last night? Tell the truth!" Everyone present was shocked and confused. Zhou Chu reacted earlier than his brother and wanted to complain to Feng Weiqi, but he didn't expect that his useless brother would speak first. "I didn't, I attended the banquet..." Li Qingcha interrupted immediately and asked, "Was the banquet held before or after she was killed?" "Yeyan is killing her..." "..." "..." Eerily quiet. Just now, it seemed like someone confessed? Everyone stared at Zhou Nan. Zhou Nan's body was shaking violently, and he held onto the table with his hands to avoid falling. He seemed to have aged twenty years. Now it seems that he and Zhou Chu are more like brothers. Zhou Chu stared at Li Qingcha fiercely. "You are trying to induce a confession!" To induce a confession? It was indeed an inducement to confess, but it had no legal effect. The corners of Li Qingcha's mouth curved up, a kind of androgynous charm that was hard to tell. "Humph, since you guys won't give up, I'll let you learn some more lessons!" She pointed to the file and said, "In the section recording the victim's damaged fingernails, the color of the victim's fingertips was mentioned. It seems to be ochre brown, which is similar to the color of jade." The girl in the white dress immediately said, "Everyone has a desire for beauty. This is caused when dyeing nails with Impatiens and alum." It turns out that alum was also used. Li Qingcha said he had learned something new. She coughed lightly and continued her train of thought: "Zhou Nan, do you know that as long as I use white wine to clean your wound, the white wine will change color due to the Impatiens?" Zhou Nan even felt that he had trouble breathing. He swallowed hard. "I was scratched and bleeding, so I used white wine to clean the wound, so it naturally stained it a little red."
"Let's not talk about the wound having scabbed over. The red color of the liquor is most likely not from blood," Li Qingcha said. "Let's take a step back and assume there was blood. If it were heated slightly, the red color in the liquor would separate into layers. Which layer would be the same color as the Impatiens?" It looks like a question, but it is actually a statement. In fact, Li Qingcha could have produced the final evidence long ago. The reason why he induced Zhou Nan to confess first was to break down his psychological defenses. After all, it was ancient times, and the other party had people on the top, so the hard evidence did not seem so reliable. Do we have to wait for the other party to smooth over the relationship? Then you really have to go to the scene a hundred times. Li Qingcha is lazy and doesn't want to waste any more time. The yamen runners looked at her with eyes full of admiration. I thought the Zhou family case would take at least a month. If Piaoxue gritted her teeth and refused to admit her crime, then we would have to find a scapegoat to close the case. Unexpectedly, this pale-faced scholar revealed the secret in just a few words. Awesome! At the same time, the girl in the white dress looked at Li Qingcha with a different look. She finally understood where that inexplicable sense of familiarity with Li Qingcha came from. Indeed, she had never seen Li Qingcha before. But there was a man whose name was unknown but who was described a thousand times by Second Senior Sister. Witty, handsome, humorous... Probably very similar to him, right? The girl in the white dress took out a small dried fish and put it into her mouth to chew. "Hmm, why doesn't it smell good all of a sudden?" She murmured to herself, her eyes never leaving Li Qingcha. Chapter 11 Dried Fish The dust settles, Zhou Nan pleaded guilty and was sentenced to death. However, Zhou Chu was not implicated for shielding or false accusations. As the saying goes, "judge by actions, not by intentions." Although his actions were not decent, they were all legal, and the Jingzhao Prefecture could not do anything to him. After interrogation, Zhou Nan confessed everything. This guy committed adultery with his sister-in-law. Unexpectedly, he became aroused after just a few shots. Suddenly, his sister-in-law said that she had not had her period for two months. He panicked and committed a serious crime. tsk... "Your circle is so chaotic." Li Qingcha muttered.
"I guessed it right from the beginning." Gong Lianxue agreed. They walked out of the yamen. At this time, "and many more!" Someone called out to the two from behind. Li Qingcha turned back,
