Chapter 1599 Mo Ziqi protects his wife (5)

Hearing this, Li Guozheng said seductively: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, but you have to say that Mrs. Mu is the grandson of the old minister. Even if she is the grandson of the old minister, if she violates the national law, the old city will never protect her. "

At this time, it was already dawn. Nangong Yi and the ministers had not slept all night, so they ordered the ministers to go back to rest first, and he and Duke Li continued to investigate Nangong Yu's case. Empress Dowager Mo refused to go back and insisted on following them to investigate. case, and repeatedly stated that if someone wanted to protect the criminal, she would not hesitate to die together and avenge her daughter.

When she said this, her eyes kept looking at Fei'er, and she seemed to have determined that Fei'er was the criminal who killed Nangong Yu.

Feier was still a child of twelve or thirteen years old. She had never seen such a scene before. Being falsely accused out of thin air was not a big deal, and such a big charge was pinned on her head. Naturally, she was horrified and looked at Mo Mo. When she was young, her big watery eyes were full of grievances. She pursed her lips tightly. If she hadn't tried hard to control it, she would have burst into tears.

Mo Ziqi saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but he also knew that the matter was of great importance. Now was not the time for him to coax her or comfort her. The top priority was to find out the real murderer. The key was to help her clear away the suspicion. .

Duke Li first ordered people to bring Yingchun's body over and ordered Lan'er to identify it to see if it was the woman she saw last night.

When Lan'er saw Yingchun with a pair of protruding eyes, a long tongue hanging out, and a ferocious and twisted face, she was so frightened that she fainted.

The current Yingchun is so scary that it is impossible to tell whether she is the person from last night. However, judging from her figure and clothes, she is indeed the woman from last night. After Laner woke up, she dared not look at her again. He just covered his eyes and cried: "Yes, it's her!"

This is a clue that is not conducive to Fei'er. If this Yingchun is the one who deceived Nangong Yu, then Fei'er is even more suspected of murder.

Then, Li Guogong inspected Yingchun's body and found that Yingchun did not hang himself, but was strangled to death and hung up.

The marks on the necks of people who hang themselves are slightly upward, which is caused by the pull of the person's weight. People who have been strangled have figure-eight-shaped crosses on the back of their necks. There are faint traces of such crosses on the back of Yingchun's neck. , so it can be concluded that she was strangled to death first and then hung up.

This clue was originally nothing, but coupled with Lan'er's previous confession that this Yingchun was Bie Yingchun, it was even more unfavorable to Fei'er. Empress Dowager Mo immediately concluded that Fei'er was the one who killed and silenced Fei'er, and even shouted that Fei'er should be taken away from her. If you take them down and torture them, you will be able to find out the truth.

Duke Li Guo disagreed. He said: "Under severe punishment, there must be unjust imprisonment. If these girls can't bear the beating and bite randomly, wouldn't they be unjustly punishing good people?"

Empress Dowager Mo disagreed. She said excitedly: "Father, Mu Caifei has the motive to kill, the time to commit the crime, and so much evidence. Why can't she be convicted? Besides, how can you decide to rigorously interrogate these things?" Is this girl bound to bite randomly instead of confessing the truth?"

Li Guozheng said: "Although all kinds of evidence are against Mu, there are still many flaws in the case. For example, if Mu asked the princess to meet in the mountains and waited for an opportunity to kill someone, he would have to go out of the house, but the guards guarding him None of them had ever seen them go out. Mu was just an ordinary woman, and she didn't know how to do martial arts. How could she take this girl into the mountains and out of the mountains without hiding it from the eyes of the guards? Also, this girl was hanged. Yingchun was only wearing obscene clothes and pants. Her clothes, which were the same as those of the other girls, were gone. We searched the room and couldn't find them. Can we understand that Yingchun was strangled to death and pulled out to commit crimes? Woolen cloth?"

Queen Mother Mo's eyes were red with hatred, and she was convinced that it was Fei'er who killed Nangong Yu. She said imperiously: "Although my father also has doubts, he has just ignored so many evidences pointing to Mu Caifei, let alone me. It's unreasonable. I'll give you three hours. If no strong evidence can be found to exonerate Mu Caifei after three hours, these three slaves must be interrogated. People are cheap skins and flesh. Beat them. They will naturally do it to them!"
