Wei Zheng Almost Became a Blame Man!
Lu Qing said.
Everyone was shocked!
This time, they were all really shocked!
Han Min was dumbfounded.
Wei Zheng's eyes widened.
Li Chengqian was also in disbelief.
Li Chengyi was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, the trusted aide of the Crown Prince, Li Chengqian. He was loyal to Li Chengqian.
How could he be the one to finish the job?
How could he be the murderer?
Li Chengyi's expression changed for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said,"Lord Lu sure knows how to joke. How could I be the murderer?”
"Lord Lu, don't frame me just because I helped His Highness make you unhappy. This is not good.”
Everyone turned their attention to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing seemed to have known that Li Chengyi would say this. His expression did not change.
"Lord Li's methods are truly superb. More importantly, his calculations are basically perfect."”
"If I hadn't come to investigate this case, perhaps Lord Wei would really have been framed to death. Even if Lord Wei could overturn the case in the end, His Highness the Crown Prince would have to take the blame and his reputation would be affected.”
When Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian heard that, their expressions changed drastically.
Li Chengyi said," Lord Lu, you can't just decide a case casually. You said that I'm the murderer. Where's the evidence?"”
"Yes, Lord Shaoqing, do we have evidence?”Han Min also asked.
Lu Qing smiled and said," Of course we have evidence. Let's take them one by one."”
"Yesterday, Qin Yi invited Lord Wei to his residence for official business reasons. Later, Lord Wei found out that Qin Yi was pleading for His Highness. In a fit of anger, Lord Wei quarreled with Qin Yi and left.”
"After Lord Wei left, you appeared and appeased Qin Yi, who was also angry. Then, when Qin Yi wasn't paying attention, you killed him with a knife.”
"After killing Qin Yi, you followed Wei Zheng to the Cheng Family Restaurant and secretly observed Nanny's plot against Wei Zheng.”
" But who knew that Nanny would be scared halfway through her suicide? She regretted her decision and didn't want to die. You jumped in through the window, killed Nanny, framed Wei Zheng, and left secretly.”
"In this way, the murder of Qin Yi and the murder of Nanny will be perfectly covered up by Lord Wei, making it difficult for Lord Wei to speak and finally becoming a scapegoat for you! I have to say, you're really meticulous and scheming!”
When Han Min and the others heard Lu Qing's words, they could not help but be slightly shocked.
If that was really the case, then Li Chengyi had done too much to make Wei Zheng take the blame.
But Li Chengyi sneered,"This is all your one-sided story. It's completely your wild guess."”
"One-sided story? No, all my deductions are reasonable.”
Lu Qing said,"Why didn't Qin Yi invite Wei Zheng earlier or later? Why did he invite Wei Zheng on the day of the servant's vacation?"?In fact, you want to cut off all of Wei Zheng's paths.”
"You are the Crown Prince's confidant, and Qin Yi is the son of the Crown Prince's nanny. He is naturally close to you and trusts you. So, as long as you casually mention the Crown Prince's distress because of Wei Zheng in front of him, Qin Yi will naturally think of pleading with Lord Wei.”
"If you say that His Highness is in an urgent situation, then Qin Yi will naturally want to plead with Wei Zheng as soon as possible. This way…you can control the day and time when Qin Yi looks for Wei Zheng.”
After hearing Lu Qing's words, Li Chengqian's expression changed.
Initially, Li Chengqian thought that Lu Qing was trying to frame Li Chengyi, but now…thinking about it, Li Chengyi was indeed the only person around him that Qin Yi could trust.
Lu Qing continued," I've also examined Qin Yi's body. The wound was slanted upwards. It was obvious that he was assassinated!" Moreover, he did not show any signs of struggle. This meant that the person who killed him was not guarded at all. He was not guarded at all, which was why he was like this.”
"Therefore, combined with all this, do you think you are suspicious?”
Li Chengyi's expression also changed a little. He said,"Anyone from the Eastern Palace can do such a thing. They're all suspects. Why do you have to keep an eye on me? I'm not the only one who can do this.”
" Yes." Lu Qing nodded and said," You're not the only one, so I want to ask."”
"Lord Li…where were you at the time of the two murders?”
"I'm resting at home," said Li Chengyi.”
"Can anyone prove it?"
"I was too tired the day before and caught a cold. I need to rest quietly without anyone disturbing me…However, the servants in the residence can know that I haven't left the residence.”
"That means no one can be sure that Lord Li has been in the room all this time.”Lu Qing said.
Li Chengyi frowned." I said that the servant can prove that I have never left the residence."”
"Is that so? Then I'm curious…"
" Why did someone see you near the crime scene during the crime?" Lu Qing asked.”
"What?"
Li Chengyi was stunned for a moment, then he said,"Nonsense, it's complete nonsense.”
"Nonsense?" Lu Qing clapped his hands and said,"Bring the witness."”
Soon, a few beggars were brought up.
"Look at this person. Have you seen him near the Qin Manor and the Cheng Clan's restaurant?" Lu Qing asked.”
The beggars looked at Li Chengyi carefully and then nodded.
"I've seen him before. He was wearing a bamboo hat at that time, so ordinary people couldn't see his face. But I was kneeling on the ground begging for food, and when I looked up, I saw him.”
"I saw him too. He went out from the back door of the Cheng Family Restaurant. I was puzzled at that time and thought he was the new waiter of the Cheng Family Restaurant.”
These beggars all spoke.
Li Chengyi's expression changed completely. He said,"Nonsense, all of you are talking nonsense! Your Highness, don't believe them. They must have colluded to harm me!”
However, Li Chengqian ignored Li Chengyi. He looked at Lu Qing and said,"Even if Li Chengyi appeared near the crime scene, it doesn't prove that he's the murderer, right? What if it's a coincidence?"
" Indeed," Lu Qing said." Perhaps Lord Li was confused and remembered wrongly."”
"Then I have one more question."
Lu Qing suddenly walked in front of Li Chengyi and looked at Li Chengyi's hand that was wrapped in a white cloth. He said meaningfully,""Lord Li, can you explain how you injured your hand?”
With a swoosh.
Li Chengyi seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.
…………
[P.S. Explain the beggar's testimony. Do you remember that Lu Qing asked Lu Shisan to go to the underground world to get information?]
Actually, Lu Qing had already suspected Li Chengyi at that time, so he asked Lu Shisan to ask about Li Chengyi's whereabouts yesterday.
The intelligence network controlled by the underground world was very large, and the beggar was the most important part. Therefore, Lu Shisan waited for four hours before the beggar sent him the information.
There was no need to explain this in the main text, but he was afraid that everyone would not know where the beggar came from and why he suddenly appeared, so he explained it here.
Every witness, every clue, and every deduction was reasonable.
