A Confession Full of Flaws!
Time passed quickly. Summer had left, and autumn had quietly arrived.
Chen Hao had just returned from his patrol when he saw an official sedan parked at the entrance of the yamen.
Chen Hao had seen this official sedan before. It was the official sedan of the Yamen.
Chang 'an City was divided into two counties. One was Chang' an County, and the other was Wannian County.
However, the magistrate of the Yamen should not have come to Chang 'an Yamen at this time.
After all, this ten thousand years was not far from Chang 'an, but it was not close either. However, it was clearly stipulated that unless there were special circumstances, it was not allowed to privately exchange.
Therefore, Chen Hao suspected that the Yamen had encountered some trouble.
"Arrester Chen."
"Arrester Chen."
The two bailiffs at the door immediately bowed when they saw Chen Hao.
Chen Hao nodded and asked,""Lord Zhang from the Yamen is here?”
"Lord Zhang is here. He's inside and said that he has something to discuss with Lord Yang.”The bailiff looked at Chen Hao and said respectfully.
After all, they were all working in the same government office. Even Qingfeng Yang admired Hao Chen, so of course they had to be respectful.
"How long has Lord Zhang been here?" Chen Hao asked again.
"He should have been here for almost an hour. He hasn't come out since he went in.”The bailiff answered truthfully.
When Chen Hao heard this, he was even more convinced of his own thoughts.
If it was an ordinary matter, he wouldn't have stayed for so long.
Chen Hao nodded and walked in.
As soon as he entered, he saw the county magistrate, Zhang Delin, who was about to leave.
"Lord Zhang, Lord Yang." Chen Hao bowed to the two lords.
"Is this Arrester Chen? That constable? Lord Yang, you must help me a lot this time. I will be waiting for you in Wannian County."”
Zhang Delin glanced at Chen Hao with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He probably already knew about Chen Hao's Divine Constable.
"Alright, Lord Zhang, don't worry. We're both officials of the same dynasty, so I'll definitely investigate this matter seriously.”Qingfeng Yang said with a smile.
Only then did Zhang Delin bid farewell and leave.
After Delin Zhang left, Qingfeng Yang said to Hao Chen,""Constable Chen, do you know why Lord Zhang is looking for me?”
"I don't know." Chen Hao said.
"The matter of Banana killing someone in Wannian County had already been settled.”
"In the end, the murderer kept complaining that he was innocent. So, Lord Zhang came to me, hoping to use me to investigate the matter.”Qingfeng Yang said.
When Chen Hao heard this, he vaguely understood. After all, it was Zhang Delin who sentenced him back then.
However, the murderer kept complaining that he was innocent. Like Qingfeng Yang, Delin Zhang was also a good official.
He didn't want the case to be wrongly judged, nor did he want the murderer to get away with it. He didn't want anyone to be the scapegoat.
Therefore, Delin Zhang had no choice but to find Qingfeng Yang.
Chen Hao had also heard about Banana's murder.
After all, this case had caused quite a stir at that time.
It seemed that a hermit named Li Ming liked banana trees very much, so he planted a banana forest, but he did not allow others to enter.
Later, the son of Li Ming's next-door neighbor, Li Laosan, got a heatstroke.
Therefore, Li Laosan's wife asked Li Laosan to go to Li Ming's house to ask for a few banana leaves to help her son get rid of the summer heat.
It was because Li Laosan's son broke Li Ming's banana leaf a few days ago.
Li Laosan's wife had an argument with Li Ming and was too embarrassed to ask for the banana leaf.
Li Laosan went to Li Ming's house and asked for the banana leaf. Li Ming also gave the banana leaf to Li Laosan very happily.
However, who would have thought that after Old Third Li's wife and son drank the soup cooked by the banana leaves, they would die suddenly not long after.
Old Third Li panicked and hurriedly reported the case.
After the autopsy, the coroner found out that the two of them had died from drinking arsenicite. He also found arsenicite in the bowl of soup.
Ming Li was immediately thrown into prison. His motive was that he was unhappy after quarreling with Old Third Li's wife, so he deliberately killed her and was sentenced to death.
He also auctioned off all the fields and houses in the family by the government, and all the silver he earned was given to Li Laosan.
However, it seemed a little difficult to reopen a case that had been over ten days old.
"Constable Chen, come with me to flip through the case files.”Qingfeng Yang said.
After all, Hao Chen had left a good impression on Qingfeng.
So this time, Qingfeng Yang wanted Hao Chen to participate.
"Yes, my lord." Chen Hao said.
Soon, a dossier on Banana's murder was brought over.
He had to admit that the dossier was really good.
Any matter would be recorded in this book.
No matter how many years had passed or how many years had passed, this dossier was still the original dossier.
Hao Chen and Qingfeng Yang looked at the scroll and found a painting in it.
Chen Hao took one out. It turned out to be a painting of banana trees in the rain by Li Ming.
This painting was very good. It could be seen that the scene at that time had brought Liming a very good mood.
Therefore, the brush strokes of this painting were relaxed, and it was drawn in one breath. Otherwise, it would not have been so smooth.
"According to this file, on the day of the crime, it rained heavily from the afternoon until the next morning.”
"Li Ming was also painting alone at home. Coincidentally, he was looking out the window at the drizzling rain. The banana leaves were especially lively, so Li Ming painted this painting of the banana leaves in the rain.”
Qingfeng Yang pointed at the scroll and continued reading.
"Because there were no witnesses, although there was evidence, it was not of much use, so he was still sent to prison.”
" Next is Old Third Li's confession..." Qingfeng Yang paused and stared at the dossier.
Chen Hao also took a closer look. When Chen Hao saw Li Laosan's confession, he suddenly felt that Li Laosan's confession was vague and full of loopholes.
"Lord Yang, look here. This Old Third Li said that his wife went to work in the fields when she was cooking medicine?”
"And here, after the medicine was cooked, Old Third Li called his wife back and went to work in the fields?”
"Moreover, the time doesn't match. Besides, what can we do in the fields on a rainy day?”
Chen Hao pointed at a few obvious loopholes.
However, he already had an idea in his heart.
After all, even though Ming Li didn't have a witness, the painting was extremely useful evidence.
Chen Hao could tell that Ming Li was in a good mood when he was drawing.
If he had killed someone, why didn't he feel nervous at all?
It seemed that there was something fishy about this case.
It was no wonder that Ming Li desperately cried out for injustice before he died. This might really be a wrong case.
Qingfeng Yang also felt that something was wrong when he heard Hao Chen's words.
Li Laosan's testimony was vague and full of loopholes, as if it was made up at the last minute.
