Chapter 46 Evidence
Lu Jinping looked at her silently until the last wine bowl in her hand was smashed, and she was panting with her waist. Lu Jinping then said, "You are so crazy, just because you are extremely disappointed with him. So, you strangled him to death with your wrapping breast!"
Widow Chang suddenly calmed down. She slowly turned around, stared at Lu Jinping, and even plucked her hair. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "What did you say? I'll kill him? I won't kill him."
"You previously told me that Pang Yan was drunk and stayed in your room and refused to leave, so you carried the quilt to the wine cellar to go to bed. After you slept for a while, you felt something was wrong, so you went to find Liu Lao Er, wanting him to help Pang Yan go, but you were worried that his wife would be suspicious, so you waited outside his yard for an hour, right?"
"yes!"
Lu Jinping sneered: "You are lying! I have found out that between the third and fourth nights, you left the winery not to Liu Laoer's place, but to Zhou Yuanwai's house! Because that night, Pang Yan clearly proposed to break up with you and never come to see you again because his wife was going to have children. So, you were jealous and got him drunk and unconscious, and you were crazy and strangled him to death with your breasts. Then, you went to the Zhou family to kill his mother.
Zi, but you failed because you couldn't enter the Zhou family's mansion. When you returned to the house, you saw his body. You were scared at this time. You dressed Pang Yan's body, but in a panic, he put his pants in the opposite direction, and you didn't notice it. Then you ran to Liu Laoer's house and called him out, making up a lie that Pang Yan died of drunkenness and asked him to testify for you to prove that you were drinking together at that time. Prove that he died of drunkenness. Am I right?"
"I don't know what you are talking about, Sir?"
"Tell you, the case of Pang Yan's jade pendant has been solved, and we have also caught the thief. He is the third son of your town, a drinker who often comes to your winery to drink. That night, he stole Pang Yan's jade pendant, and he also saw a scene that is very valuable to us. I finally locked in on you as the real murderer who strangled Pang Yan."
"Three son? What did he say? Sir, don't believe such a despicable villain who is a thief."
"Even such a person, some of the words are true. He said that he happened to pass by your winery that day and saw you coming out of the inside. The door was not locked, so he hurriedly went to the direction of the Zhou family. So he wanted to go in and steal wine. He didn't dare to steal too much, so he stole a bowl of wine and left after drinking. Before this, he had also sneaked into your winery. He originally wanted to steal some money, but he found that he didn't know where you hid the money and couldn't find it. The only thing worth the money in your family was that wine. So he took advantage of your not paying attention to it and stole some wine. He saw you out that night, and he went in again. As a result, this time he saw Pang Yan, Pang Yan sitting on the ground in your bedroom, leaning against his back with his back on his side.
The head of the bed was tied to the legs of the bed, with his head hanging down. He was startled. He wanted to run away, but found that Pang Yan did not move, so he went over and called Pang Yan on purpose. Pang Yan did not react, but still hung his head down and did not look up, as if he was very drunk. He saw Pang Yan's jade pendant on his waist, so he quickly untied the jade pendant and ran away. - How about it? The plot he said should be true, right? This is the reason why he came to that conclusion just now. You tied Pang Yan to the head of the bed so that he could not resist, strangled him to death, and then went to Zhou Yuanwai's house to kill his wife, instead of going to Liu Laoer's house. Liu Laoer's family was in another direction."
Chang Widow asked lightly: "Is this the Lord's guess? Or has he obtained real evidence?"
"Of course there is evidence! - The third son saw you go out and Pang Yan was tied back to your bedroom and died. This is the most direct evidence! Of course, there is also a very important evidence that makes me more convinced that you strangled Pang Yan to death."
"Oh, what evidence?"
"Your breast wrapping! The scarlet breast wrapped that you threw in the yard after strangled Pang Yan to the garbage dump. It told me that you are the murderer."
Widow Chang smiled: "Tell you about breast wrapping? It's a cloth strip, how do you tell you? Can you even talk with breast wrapping?"
"Although things have no mouths, smart people will make things speak. I am such a person. I learned a method from a wandering monk that can be used to solve cases, among which there is how to verify who the owner of the thing is, such as wrapping the chest. Through this special Taoist method, I can see the dandruff that cannot be seen on the naked eye that sticks to the wrapping chest. I can also confirm from this dandruff that was strangled by Pang Yan when you strangled Pang Yan to his neck and stuck to the wrapping chest. Because this wrapping chest is something of your sweetheart, you don't want to keep your sadness anymore, so, although it is still very new, you still throw it away, but unexpectedly it was picked up by a calf."
Lu Jinping previously extracted the saliva test material of the Widow, compared it with the microepidermal cells extracted from the breast wrap, and determined that it was the same. It proved that the shedding epidermal cells adhered to the breast wrap were Pang Yan's. This proved that this breast wrap was the weapon to strangle Pang Yan.
This kind of evidence is very strong in modern society, but it could not be used as evidence in ancient times. It could only make Lu Jinping believe that Widow Chang was the murderer. He had to find other evidence to prove it, and it would be best to let Widow Chang admit his crime. In ancient times, confession was the king of evidence. As long as he confessed his guilt, other evidence was no longer important.
Widow Chang sneered: "The Lord's ability is really incredible, but no one will believe it if he says it."
"It doesn't matter, you don't need this thing, because the existing evidence is enough. - You showed love and hate for Pang Yan in front of us, and your extreme disappointment with Pang Yan, scolding him for the sweet words he said under the moon, but he still wanted to break up with you. Therefore, you turned from love to hate. This is a love killing, you have the motive for murder! - We have verified that when the incident happened, Liu Lao Er was not with you, only you and Pang Yan, you two were in your room, and Pang Yan eventually died in your bedroom, you have time to commit the crime! - You hurried out that night, and the three sons who stole the things came in.
Going to steal wine, I saw Pang Yan tied to the legs of the bed in the house. This is a direct witness! - The autopsy proved that Pang Yan had a small amount of bleeding under the skin, but the muscle layer was not bleeding, and the throat bones were intact. This was consistent with the characteristics of soft blackmail, which confirmed that you strangled him with a wrapping breast. This is an autopsy verification! - This wrapping breast was picked up by a calf from the garbage dump of your winery. You are also sure that this is your wrapping breast, which is physical evidence! - With such sufficient evidence, I believe that even the most picky official of the Ministry of Justice will determine that the murderer is you! The emperor will definitely approve your death penalty!"
Widow Chang's face was pale and bloodless. She stared at Lu Jinping helplessly, and finally spoke for a while: "Sir, do you want to hear the story between me and him? You can know what happened."
Lu Jinping sighed and said, "It must be a sad love story. Although I don't like watching tragedies very much, since it is related to the case, I can only listen to it if I bit the bullet. Tell me."
"Before I talk about me and him, I want to play a piano for the Lord. I hope Lord can listen to my song patiently, because this song is the beginning of my story."
Lu Jinping said unexpectedly: "You can still play the piano?"
"The Lord thought I was just a vulgar country peasant woman who could only do business by selling laughter, right?"
Lu Jinping smiled unanimously. Chang Widow got up and walked into the inner room. After a moment, she took out a guqin. The guqin was a bit simple, with not very good craftsmanship and was not worth much money. However, she still loved it like a treasure, and gently wiped it with her sleeve before putting it on the couch.
