Chapter 407: Suspected Murder Case [(1)]
| Central Judicial Office, main hall of the Criminal Department |
After yawning heavily, Sun Shaozong picked up his pen with drowsy eyes. He was about to drop it on the official document but suddenly forgot what comments to write.
As he pondered and finally remembered some features, he only heard a click, and the thick ink had already fallen onto the official document.
Damn it!
Sun Shaozong hurriedly took a soft cloth to dip it in. Fortunately, he was using high-quality ink from the State of Hui, which stuck to the paper. After using the soft cloth to absorb the ink, only a piece of ink about the size of a chess piece was left, which didn’t stain the original words of the official document.
Seeing this, Sun Shaozong breathed a slight sigh of relief in his heart, but he had no intention of continuing to review the official documents. So he washed the wolf hair pen thoroughly, put it on a mountain-shaped pen holder, and walked to the window to scoop out the water from the copper basin. He rubbed his face several times.
So and so, he was finally refreshed.
Sigh~
These days, he has been indulging in debauchery and has finally the sign of excessive indulgence!
It seemed necessary to exercise some restraint, otherwise, if there were any mistakes, it was not fun.
Speaking again, Second Sister You was really a natural beauty. Her tall, plump, and snowy satin white body was like a tailored one for men, and Sun Shaozong was always carefree and unable to extricate himself.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
Moreover, she was willing to obey all kinds of tricks and loved to be obsessed with being charming and naive, actively inviting battles. She was not as shy as other women, so in recent days, Sun Shaozong has rarely been able to sleep soundly.
In addition, there was also a need to spare time to ”comfort” Ruan Rong. This kind of sweet pain was not enough for external humanity, which was not to be told.
Fortunately, Jia Yingchun has already confirmed her pregnancy. Otherwise, his Big Brother would have been pushing for ”planting” every day; even if it were a hard-hit body and bones, it would have been difficult to sustain her.
“Uncle.”
Just as he was thinking about some things he shouldn’t have, he heard Sun Chengye reporting outside, "The notice for the trial implementation of the beggar system has been written. Would you like to take a look first?”
“Come in.”
Sun Shaozong walked up and opened the door, took the notice with ease, glanced at it in ten lines, then shook his head and said, "It would be better to be more straightforward in wording. How many beggars can understand this elegant thing?”
Sun Chengye quickly arched his hand and said, "I shall go and draft a new one.”
“No need.”
Sun Shaozong said, "First post this notice outside the mansion door, and then draw up another simple one so that the Yamen Servants in the mansion can memorize it. Call on the beggars to read it directly.”
After Sun Chengye agreed and went out to explain the posting of the notice, Sun Shaozong sat back behind the case and prepared to continue issuing official documents.
Due to the fact that beggar Hong Jiu happened to hear about the incident, Xu-Shi couldn't deny it and had to confess the act of killing her husband. Therefore, there was nothing worth investigating and questioning in this part of the case.
The only oddity was that Xu-Shi insisted that the deceased was a fake, not the real Song Changgeng.
This statement was strongly refuted by Song Changgeng's Uncle, who believed that she had woven such a ridiculous lie to alleviate the charges.
But...
If she wanted to make up a lie to exonerate herself, shouldn't she use such a bizarre excuse?
Sun Shaozong looked at this exploration record and couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
It was said that Hong Jiu, who happened to be involved in a human life lawsuit, was also taken as a witness to the Central Judicial Office.
Because Qiu Yunfei saw that he was a rootless beggar and was afraid that he might disappear without paying attention, he simply ordered someone to temporarily detain him and Xu-Shi in the lobby.
In the beginning, Hong Jiu was frightened and felt weak all over. He knelt in the hall and didn’t dare to even breathe.
But after kneeling for more than half an hour, Hong Jiu couldn't continue as he saw that it was already past mealtime and his stomach was growling with hunger. However, no one came to inquire.
He peeked left and right and saw that the Government Officials were all outside and no one was paying attention to him. He simply tilted his body and collapsed onto the ground, grinning and rubbing his knees.
After rubbing for a while, he found that there was still no one to interfere. His courage increased a bit as he rubbed his knees and peeked at the nearby Xu-Shi.
He saw Xu-Shi kneeling on the ground in a daze, her skirt torn apart by relatives of the Song family, revealing half of her white porcelain-like arm. However, she couldn't even remember to cover it up.
Tch tch tch!
What a fair and charming woman! How could she be so determined to murder her husband?
Hong Jiu stared at the white porcelain-like arm, drooling for a long time, but suddenly realized that Xu-Shi's cherry mouth was constantly opening and closing.
What was she muttering about?
Hong Jiu couldn't help but be curious and cautiously moved towards Xu-Shi. After listening for a long time, he finally recognized that Xu-Shi was repeating the phrases ”He's not my husband” and ”He's not Song Changgeng.”
How could she still say that even now?
Hong Jiu was a bit speechless at first, but upon closer inspection of Xu-Shi's appearance, it didn't seem like she was lying. Hong Jiu has always been quite complacent. If he couldn't tell the appearances of others, even his skillful mouth would be like rootless duckweed, unable to scratch the itch of others.
But if she wasn't lying, should it be that...
Was the person who died really not her husband?!
