Chapter 28: Come and be tortured!
At the same time, Zhefu.
Zhe Xinyi, who had been away from Zhe Mansion for several days, finally returned wearing a battle robe and a look of exhaustion.
"Miss, you are finally back! Something bad is going to happen. You must save Mr. Li!"
The bun-faced maid seemed to have found her backbone and hurriedly came forward, with surprise and anxiety on her face.
Zhe Xinyi's expression paused for a moment, and then she asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with Mr. Li?"
The bun-faced maid said anxiously: "Miss, some government servants came to our place just now, claiming to be from the Ministry of Punishment, and brought Mr. Li back to the Ministry of Punishment, saying that Mr. Li was involved in a murder case. Miss, you said Mr. Li is so good.
A person who cooks delicious food and has a fair face, how could he do such a thing as murder!"
Zhe Xinyi: "..."
......
"That day, you were not going back to Zhefu faster by taking the Black Snake Alley, but you were doing it to lure out Zhao Ran and Han Wu who were following you.
Two people were killed inside. This is the real reason why you, Li Sanshui, stayed in Wu Snake Alley for so long!"
"And, two days later, when there was no moon that night and it was dark, you sneaked into Zhe Mansion, sneaked into Sima An's room, and then brutally killed him."
"Haha..."
Hearing this, Li Miao couldn't help but laugh softly, and said with a bit of a smile: "Sir, you think too highly of the student. The student is just a weak scholar without any martial arts. How could you do what you are doing?"
That’s all.”
Zhou Tan took a deep look at Li Miao and said, "You don't have to do it yourself. For example, you can spend money to hire a person with strong martial arts skills. You can do this."
Li Miao said: "Sir, if what the student said is what if, if what the student said is true, but the student doesn't even know Sima An, Zhao Ran, and Han Wu, what motive does he have to kill them?
”
Detective Zhou said: "No, you are lying. In fact, you know Sima An and the three of them, and your motive for killing them is very obvious. You and Sima An have a grudge."
"Some time ago, by chance, you met a woman in Jincha Huayuanzi, and we had a good conversation. After going back and forth, you became quite familiar with this woman, and you often see each other in Jincha Huayuanzi.
The woman is none other than Tang Xianxian, Sima An’s fiancée!"
"After Sima An learned about this, he was furious and his mind was so hot that he actually sent Zhao Ran and Han Wu to try to kill you..."
"Master Zhou, my An'er..."
At this time, Sima Zhong couldn't help but speak.
After Zhou Tan signaled him to be calm, he continued: "So, on XX day, I found an opportunity to trick you out of the capital so that Zhao Ran and Han Wu could attack you, and at that time
, you must have met Zhao Ran and Han Wu. It would be understandable if you said you didn't know Sima An. After all, Sima An might have just given orders and never showed up, but you said you didn't know Zhao Ran and Han Wu.
Han Wu, this is obviously impossible, which is why I say you are the murderer!"
"Due to some reasons, Zhao Ran and Han Wu failed to succeed that time, but they did not give up. They continued to lurk in a corner, watching your every move, waiting for the opportunity to attack you again."
"And you obviously knew this, so you decided to strike first and deliberately led Zhao Ran and Han Wu into the Black Snake Alley, and then asked the people who had been lurking in the Black Snake Alley to kill the two of them.
Of course, before you destroy the corpses and eliminate traces, you will torture the two people to extract confessions and get the information you want. In the next two days, in order to avoid future troubles, you ordered the man to sneak into Sima in the middle of the night.
Mansion, and then killed Sima An..."
Listening, Li Miao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: As expected of being the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, in just a short period of time, he was able to find out and speculate on the ins and outs of the matter.
But...
"Sir, I have to say that your reasoning is indeed very exciting, and the students admire it very much, but if you impose it on the students, the students will not agree."
Zhou Tan narrowed his eyes slightly.
I saw that Li Miao continued: "First of all, I am just an extremely ordinary poor scholar. You only need to check it and you will know clearly. How can He De know and hire someone who can sneak into a doctor's mansion?"
A master who kills people and escapes unscathed?"
"Secondly, the most important point is that the student does not know Zhao Ran and Han Wu. On the day you mentioned, the student did wake up in the suburbs of the capital, but he lost his memory.
I can’t remember what happened before, so..."
"This is all nonsense! How can a good person lose his memory! Mr. Zhou, this person must be the murderer of my son! Come on, let me arrest this person!"
Before Li Miao could finish speaking, Sima Zhong shouted loudly, as if he believed that Li Miao was the murderer of his son!
The government officials in the interrogation hall looked at each other in confusion. As a government official from the Criminal Department, you can't listen to the doctor from the Official Department, right? They all looked at Zhou Tan subconsciously.
Here, this Lord Shangshu is the biggest, so you are right to listen to him.
Li Miao looked at Sima Zhong, who was being pulled by Jiao Fang, and said: "Sir, I know that it is very painful and sad that your son was killed, but this is not the reason to hold this on my head.
, I said I didn’t kill your son, that means I didn’t.”
Well, he did not kill Sima An, it was a certain heroine who did it...
"Also, to put it bluntly, even if I really killed Sima An, what evidence is there? We in Dahua are very particular about evidence, we can't just rely on words, right?"

"Master Shangshu, is the student right?"
Li Miao turned his attention from Sima Zhong to Zhou Tan again.
Zhou Tan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Indeed, evidence is the most important thing. Without evidence, no matter how much he thinks that Li Miao is the murderer of Sima An, there is no way to arrest him.
After all, Li Sanshui is a genuine civil servant. If he is arrested without evidence, even if he is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, once word gets out, it will inevitably cause an uproar among scholars all over the world.
This was also the reason why he talked so much with Li Miao, the purpose was to expose his flaws. What he didn't expect was that even when facing him, the Minister of Punishment, the scholar in front of him behaved very badly.
He was calm and handled the situation with ease, without showing any flaws.
Sima Zhong on the side became anxious and said quickly: "Master Zhou, this boy is full of nonsense. I am sure that this boy must be the murderer of my son. As long as he is tortured to extract a confession, he will definitely kill him."
Li Miao's heart skipped a beat and he said: "Sir, students have the reputation of being a good candidate. The laws of Dahua stipulate that those who have not committed any crime and have a good reputation cannot be tortured to extract confessions!"
Sima Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "Master Zhou, as long as he recruits me, then he has committed a crime, and torture to extract a confession will not be a problem. If he is not the murderer of my son, I am willing to bear the responsibility for it."
Responsibility!"
To be honest, Detective Zhou was more or less moved, and deep down in his heart he probably believed that Li Miao was the murderer.
Oops!
Seeing Tan Zhou's expression, Li Miao couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly thought of ways to make Tan Tan give up this idea.
