Chapter 562 The evidence is conclusive

"Send the order and search all the families around Cui's mansion!" Huang Hua stood in front of the corner gate and ordered the Jinyiwei under his command. Li Jie's analysis just now made him convinced that Cui Er was the real murderer who killed Cui Lingyun. Cui An was just a unlucky scapegoat, so the most important thing he did now was to find Cui An's body.

The Jinyiwei, who came with him, immediately agreed and then rushed out along the corner gate. They started searching from the nearest residences, especially those uninhabited residences, which were the focus of the search, because these places were more convenient to hide corpses.

Li Jie searched Cui Er's room carefully again, but found nothing. Then he went out to see Cui Er tied up by many flowers, and then asked, "Tell me, where did you hide Cui An's body and the evidence in Cui Lingyun's hands?"

"The villain is wronged. Prince Concubine, you can't ignore the facts and force the charge on the villain!" Cui Er was still stubborn at this time, but his face was no longer as calm as before, and he didn't even dare to look at Li Jie in his eyes.

Li Jie was not angry when he heard Cui Er's words, but smiled again and said, "Cui Er, you framed Cui An before, so the Jinyiwei didn't care much about you. Even if he tortured you later, he just whipped a few whips. But now the Jinyiwei knew that you actually fooled them. What do you think they would do to you?"

As soon as Li Jie said that, Cui Er's face turned paler. At this time, he couldn't even say anything to deny it, but just lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing Cui Er's performance, Li Jie was unscrupulous and added fire again: "As far as I know, the Jinyiwei has eighteen tortures, one hundred and eight small tortures, each of which can make people survive and die. The most powerful prisoner is said to have survived hundreds of small tortures, but no one can survive one of the tortures. I wonder if you can break the record in the imperial prison?"

Every time Li Jie said something, Cui Er's body trembled, and finally he couldn't help but tremble. Huang Hua just came over and said grimly when he heard Li Jie's words: "Don't worry, this boy beat us up before, and made the brothers run so many times in vain. When he goes to the imperial prison, I must let the brothers treat him well!"

The same words came from Huang Hua's mouth, and the effect was completely different. After all, he was the head of the Jinyiwei, and this guy was very good at using torture, and he was not comparable to the layman Li Jie, so Cui Er was frightened and curled up in a ball, but still didn't speak.

Seeing Cui Er's performance, Li Jie was a little curious. Cui Er was brave and meticulous, and grew up in the Cui Mansion since he was a child. It is said that he should not betray Cui Lingyun, but he not only killed Cui Lingyun, but also would rather endure torture than confess the actual case. This is a bit strange.

At this moment, a Jinyiwei suddenly rushed over and saw Li Jie and Huang Hua, and immediately saluted: "Report to the prince consort, commander, the prison guard, the people in the Cui Mansion have been re-interrogated!"

"Let me tell me, has anyone seen Cui An that day? When is the latest?" Li Jie asked anxiously when he heard this.

"Someone has met Choi An after dinner, and he and Choi Er were together at that time. Choi Er was carrying wine in his hand, as if he wanted to drink together. No one has seen Choi An again since then." The visitor replied immediately.

Cui Er, who was tied next to him, was covered in dust when he heard Jinyi's answer, and Huang Hua stepped forward with anger, then kicked Cui Er in the head and said angrily: "Look at how you kid deny it, tell me honestly, where is Cui An's body?"

Cui Er was already in a state of dismay. After being kicked a few times, he did not react at all. Finally, he scolded Huang Hua again: "Good boy, he is really a tough guy. Come on, take him back to the prison of Zhao. I want to interrogate him personally. At that time, see if his bones are hard, or will the torture instruments in the prison of Zhao be harder?"

The Jinyiwei next to him agreed, and immediately two people came forward to take Cui Erhui Zhao Prison, and Li Jie on the side did not stop him. After all, there was no better way than torture.

However, just as the two Jinyiwei had just put Cui Er up, he finally woke up from his trance and shouted in panic: "Sir, please spare me, I said! I said everything!"

Seeing Cui Er finally surrender, Li Jie and Huang Hua also smiled at each other. Although torture can achieve the same effect, it consumes time after all. Now, it can get the same effect by just intimidation, which is of course the best.

"Tell me, who instructed you to kill Cui Lingyun?" Li Jie stepped forward and asked directly. If Cui Er could identify Du Zheng, then the evidence would be complete, and he could have convicted Du Zheng.

"The person who instructed me is Niu Hong. Because I was blinded, I gave me nicknamed One-Eyed Bull. I opened a Hongxing Gambling House in the south of the city. Hundreds of people under my command followed him. Behind this One-Eyed Bull is actually Du Zheng. Usually he contacted the butler around Du Zheng!" Cui Er replied panting.

"One-eyed bull, Du family butler, Du Zheng." Li Jie repeated the names of the three people, and a look of relaxation appeared on his face. Although Cui Er could not directly identify Du Zheng, the entire chain of interests had become clear.

In addition, the newly emerged character of the One-Eyed Bull also made Li Jie feel very keenly that this should be a very critical person. Wu Bo was assassinated before and had not found the murderer, which is likely to be related to the One-Eyed Bull.

"Huang Hua, send a team of imperial to Hongxing Gambling House to bring back the one-eyed bull and his men!" Li Jie immediately ordered that the reason for taking the imperial tomb guards was because Li Jie considered that the one-eyed bull's men were probably a group of desperate people, and he had to take certain risks to arrest these people, so he had to ensure sufficient force.

"Yes!" Huang Hua agreed immediately, and then ordered his subordinates to do it.

Li Jie also took advantage of this time and asked Cui Er again: "Where is Cui An, is he dead at your hands? Where is the body now? Is there any evidence to identify Du Zheng in Cui Lingyun's hands?"

"I did kill Cui An, and now he is hiding his body in a nearby house. As for the evidence in the master's hands, I did take it away. It was a record of his interest dealings with Du Zheng. Originally, the one-eyed bull was destroyed directly, but I was worried that Du Zheng would tear the bridge over the river in the future, so I hid the evidence." Cui An answered again.

"Where are you hiding those evidences?" Huang Hua also ordered his men and asked anxiously when he heard Cui Er's words.
