Chapter 170 Rationality
Fang Chen smiled and said, "What insights can I have? The top priority is to find that important witness. If you want to see the person alive, you want to see the body after death. If this witness cannot be found, the case will not be concluded in one day."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Quietly scary.
The people outside the door looked at each other, a little shocked and a little angry, but they did not dare to say a word, because the person who spoke was the Duke of Xia of Daxia.
Super duke!
Prince Xiang was speechless, with a thoughtful look on his face. Sheriff Ouyang and others not only wanted to see Prince Xiang's expression, but also Fang Chen's. Since Prince Xiang didn't speak, they naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense.
The purges that took place in the nine counties of the South some time ago are still vivid in my mind. How many of their colleagues were arrested and how many of their colleagues were beheaded. Such scenes would not happen to me one day!
After about a few breaths of silence, Yu Zhang, who was behind Master Chen, suddenly turned around and looked at Fang Chen, clasping his fists and saying, "Fang Guogong, I'm here at Nanshan Academy, Yu Zhang. I hope I can say a few words about this case."
"Say."
Fang Chen nodded lightly.
Everyone's eyes fell on Yu Zhang. Seeing this, Yu Zhang slowly spoke: "This case has been dragged on for several years. At the beginning, Master Qianhu Jue of the health center failed to guard him well and Zhao Yan escaped, so the case became an unsolved case.
Over the years, the victims in the case have been unable to get fair answers. Their families are also waiting for the day and night, hoping that the murderer Zhao Yan will be brought to justice.
During this period, some family members have passed away, and some family members, like this old man, were seriously ill and struggling on the verge of life and death. Their only wish before death was that Zhao Yan be punished.
If they continue to let Zhao Yangou live for some trivial reasons, how can their hearts be at ease? "
Jue Panshi's face was a little livid, and he stared at Yu Zhang eagerly.
Just say what you say, and you still want to accuse him? When the people outside the door heard Yu Zhang's words, they nodded one after another, and the whispers started again, all acknowledging Yu Zhang's words.
"What is a side detail?"
Fang Chen smiled lightly.
Yu Zhang was slightly startled and said without changing his expression: "It was indeed Huang Xin who discovered that there was the victim's jewelry in Zhao Yan's bag. Huang Xin was just a witness who provided clues, but the evidence was that jewelry. It was tangible. It exists, and the health office also relied on this evidence to go to Zhao Yan’s home and find the bones of the victims.”
After a pause, "So, regardless of whether Huang Xin is here today or not, this piece of evidence is reasonable and well-founded and cannot be refuted by others."
After saying that, he looked at Prince Xiang: "Master Xiang Prince, I wonder if this piece of evidence is still in the government office?"
"Here I am."
King Xiang nodded slightly and picked up a wooden hairpin from the case. Everyone saw this and nodded subconsciously. Since the victim's accessories were all in Zhao Yan's bag, this also confirmed the possibility that Zhao Yan was the murderer. sex.
Seeing this, Yu Zhang looked at Fang Chen again, with a hint of questioning in his words: "Fang Guogong, the evidence is conclusive. If Zhao Yan is not killed today, the people of Xiannan County will be extremely angry! It will inevitably make people wonder why Fang Guo I want to speak for Zhao Yan!"
"Bold!"
King Xiang and others started to scold him.
Master Chen didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and said nothing.
Yu Zhang was not afraid of these scoldings and looked directly at Fang Chen with stern eyes.
"As expected of the chief of Nanshan Academy, he is really speaking for us poor people."
"Mr. Yu dares to say this in front of Duke Fang. He must be selfless in his heart. If he can serve as an official in Xiannan County in the future, we will be lucky."
The people outside the door whispered, and the old man on the stretcher said with difficulty: "Mr. Yu, if Zhao Yan can perform the ritual today, I will enshrine Mr. Yu's tablet at home, burn incense and pray for blessings day and night."
"Everyone, I, Yu Zhang, am not afraid of offending anyone with what I said today, but I just don't want to express my displeasure. If Zhao Yan can still survive today, how can there be justice in heaven?"
Yu Zhang raised his hands and hugged his fists towards the blue sky, his expression students at Nanshan Academy were impressed by Yu Zhang and secretly admired his courage.
"Are you the chief of Nanshan Academy?"
Fang Chen smiled and asked casually.
Yu Zhang was startled for a moment, then nodded: "Exactly."
Fang Chen turned to look at Zhao Yan: "I remember that the chief of Nanshan Academy is running for election, right? Every term is different, and every chief will eventually be recommended by the dean to become an official in Beijing, starting with the fifth rank.
This is a privilege granted to the Southland by the Northland. After all, the Southland has a special climate and it is difficult to survive. Those who can understand the arts here are rare talents.
With your understanding, why didn't you become the chief in the first place? "
As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhang's expression suddenly changed again and again, but he immediately stabilized his mentality and said before Zhao Yan could speak: "Before the election, Zhao Yan had already committed a major crime and became a fugitive. Otherwise, the position of chief of the academy must belong to him. It's a pity that he has a beast's face and a heart, and he is not the son of a man!"
"So, you are a vested interest?"
Fang Chen pointed at Yu Zhang.
Vested interests? After everyone thought for a few breaths and figured out the meaning of this sentence, their expressions could not help but change slightly. They subconsciously looked at Yu Zhang with a little suspicion.
"indeed."
Yu Zhang said calmly: "Zhao Yan had an accident, so I had a chance to become the chief, but this has nothing to do with this case. Fang Guogong has digressed."
"Cough cough."
Master Chen suddenly coughed twice, glanced at everyone present, and said with a slight smile: "My lords, Yu Zhang has entered Nanshan Academy since he was a child. Although his understanding is not as good as Zhao Yan's, it is not bad. Even if Zhao Yan becomes the chief, Yu Zhang Zhang can also be recommended by me to be an official in Beijing.
There was absolutely no reason for him to frame up this matter, and he killed several innocent women just to frame Zhao Yan, but he did not get much benefit. This kind of thing is unreasonable. "
After saying that, he looked at Fang Chen: "Fang Guogong, I had this doubt about you at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I laughed it off."
"Yes, how could Senior Brother Yu frame Zhao Yan for some false reputation!"
"How much energy does this cost? How much risk does it take? What's more, Senior Brother Yu is compassionate by nature. He wouldn't even step on an ant to death, let alone kill someone."
"As long as Senior Brother Yu leaves school, he will definitely be able to become an official in the capital. Even if he is not the fifth grade, he will be the sixth grade. He will have a bright future in the future. How can he frame Zhao Yan for the position of chief of the academy!"
The students from Nanshan Academy spoke out to refute.
After hearing this, the people outside the door felt that it was very reasonable. After all, it was completely unreasonable to go out of their way to kill a few women and frame their classmates!
After a few breaths, Fang Chen chuckled, "There is a kind of crime called impulsive crime with mental disorder. The criminal's mind is different from ordinary people, and the way he thinks about problems is also different from ordinary people.
They probably won't care about gains and losses, just for a purpose, for a result. If the position of chief is just incidental, the purpose is to kill Zhao Yan...
That makes sense, right?His goal has been achieved, and the reason why he did this may just be because Zhao Yan accidentally stepped on his foot.
Maybe it was just because Zhao Yan accidentally said one or two offensive words.
Maybe it was just because Zhao Yan accidentally grew into something he didn't like. "
"..."
Everyone's expressions became very strange.
Prince Xiang, Sheriff Ouyang, Jue Panshi and others began to think deeply. When they thought about it, it seemed that... the rationality they had previously agreed on was indeed not completely applicable to any case.
