Chapter 39 Dickison's Shock
Di Zhixun coughed and said a little embarrassedly: "It's not that Renjie, but the Ren of benevolence and righteousness."
"Isn't it better to be the most benevolent and righteous, and the most outstanding person in the world?"
Qin Wenyuan fanned himself and said with a smile, "What a good name. I have a feeling that Master Di will be a great man in the future and will definitely achieve something great."
Is there any father in this world who doesn’t like his children to be praised?
Not to mention, this name was chosen by myself.
So Di Zhixun is now like Di Renjie. The more he looks at Qin Wenyuan, the more he likes him.
Although he didn't know who Qin Wenyuan was or what his purpose was.
But one could also feel that Qin Wenyuan had no ill intentions.
"Then I wonder if you are..."
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "My surname is Qin, my name is Wenyuan, and I'm just a businessman who happened to be passing through Lantian County."
"This is my wife, Li Changle."
Hearing Qin Wenyuan mention her, Changle nodded to the Di father and son again.
"Hello, sister!" Di Renjie said with a smile.
But Di Zhixun next to him frowned.
"Li...Changle..."
He murmured to himself, his eyes inadvertently glancing at Changle's right hand . There was an emerald bracelet on it, very dazzling, and seemed... somewhat familiar.
this!!
This bracelet!
Suddenly, he was a little surprised.
After thinking for a while, Di Zhixun did not ask, but said to Di Renjie: "Renjie, you should tell the truth to this young master."
Di Renjie nodded quickly. He had wanted to complain about this case for a long time.
He said, "Sir, this is what happened. Three days ago, a passenger ship was hit by a sudden rainstorm. The ship was shaking wildly and everyone on board was very panicked."
"Just when those people were panicking, they suddenly heard a scream. Soon the rainstorm stopped, and they hurriedly looked in the direction where the scream came from."
" Finally, a person was found in a guest room with a dagger stabbed in the back. The person was already dead."
"After the government investigation, it turned out that three people had no alibis and were suspected."
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly, and the scene at that time automatically appeared in his mind.
He said, "Then what? What were these three people doing at the time?"
Di Renjie looked at Qin Wenyuan. He felt that Qin Wenyuan did not seem to be listening to the story casually at the moment, but seemed to be thinking about something.
Could it be that... he is looking for clues?
Di Renjie's heart moved slightly, and when he looked at Qin Wenyuan's expression, it had also changed a little.
He sat up straight and continued, "The deceased was called Liu Hanyi, a butcher in Jinyang County. He was a crude man with a bad temper, and he had offended many people."
"And those three people were in the cabin on the ship at the time, and they happened to be next to Liu Hanyi."
"In the guest room to the left of Liu Hanyi lived a tailor. He said that at the time of the crime, he was sewing clothes."
"Because of a sudden storm, he accidentally got the needle stuck in his hand, so he couldn't work."
"Later, the guards checked and found that there were indeed needle holes on his hands, and some blood was flowing out, which confirmed that they were newly pierced."
"An unfinished piece of clothing can also prove his words."
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly and said, "That means that he has no witnesses to prove what he was doing at the time, but there is physical evidence that can indirectly prove it, right?"
Di Renjie nodded quickly, "But acupuncture can be done at any time, so there is some physical evidence, but the proof is limited."
Qin Wenyuan understood and continued, "So, what about the other two people? What were they doing at the time?"
Di Renjie continued, "In the guest room opposite Liu Hanyi lived a scholar, who said that he was writing an article in the room when the crime happened."
"He said that he was going to take part in the upcoming imperial examination and was practicing his policy essay."
"Then he showed his newly written article to the yamen runner. The article was well-balanced, the writing was brilliant, the handwriting was elegant and beautiful, and there were still some words on it that were still wet, which proved what he said."
Qin Wenyuan gently touched the fan bone with his thumb, squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Where is the last person?"
"The last person is Li Haiyang."
Di Renjie said: "Li Haiyang lived in the guest room on the right side of Liu Hanyi. He said that when the incident happened, he was sleeping. Because the boat suddenly shook, he was shaken to the ground, so his forehead hit the corner of the table and it was swollen."
"But the county magistrate said that Li Haiyang was injured accidentally because the victim struggled when he was killing him."
"Plus, Li Haiyang had been bullied by Liu Hanyi before, so the county magistrate said that there was a motive, that Li Haiyang was holding a grudge and wanted to retaliate and kill."
When Di Renjie said this, his face was full of anger.
Said: "Just because of these, he directly convicted Li Haiyang."
"Tell me, what is this?"
"There is indeed a motive, but does it mean that you have to kill someone to vent your anger just because you were bullied?"
" Isn't this motive too far-fetched? After all, Li Haiyang himself is not the kind of person who gets angry or impulsive."
"As for the evidence of the injury, no one could identify how it was caused. But they said it was caused during a struggle with the deceased, and then used it as the most crucial evidence of murder. Isn't that ridiculous?"
Di Renjie was really dissatisfied, and he knocked on the table as he spoke.
The table banged loudly.
He really hates evil.
Di Zhixun, who was standing by, called Di Renjie a little embarrassedly.
"Renjie, please don't be rude in front of you two."
Then he looked at Qin Wenyuan and his wife, and said embarrassedly: "Sir, and Miss, please don't be offended. Renjie...he, he is just too young, and he can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes."
Qin Wenyuan smiled, shook his head and said, "It's okay. Master Di hates evil, which is a good quality."
"Only with such qualities can one become a good official in the future, a good official who benefits the people of the world."
He twirled his fan, then suddenly stopped and said, "That is to say, these three people have no alibis, and they even have some physical evidence of their own, right?"
Di Renjie nodded.
When Di Zhixun saw Qin Wenyuan's mouth corners raised, a gleam of light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He said, "Sir, what do you think about this case?"
Di Renjie was stunned, then he quickly looked at Qin Wenyuan and asked in surprise: "Really?"
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Whether it helps or not, I don't know, but after listening to all the facts just now, I have indeed discovered a problem."
