Chapter 11 Scapegoat
When Xiao Jinyi heard what Emperor Wu'an said, he immediately turned around and left, taking a few people with him and heading straight for the Princess's Mansion.
Princess Kang Ning was very happy to see him coming, "Jin Yi, why are you here? Come on, go sit inside with your aunt, I will ask the kitchen to make you your favorite mutton hotpot, don't leave today, stay here for one night!"
Princess Kangning was the biological sister of Emperor Wu'an. When Emperor Wu'an ascended the throne, Princess Kangning made great efforts.
She treated Emperor Wu'an's several princes and princesses quite well, especially Xiao Jinyi, whom she loved like her own son. Therefore, the crown prince and Xiao Jinyi were very respectful to this aunt.
"Aunt, I'm afraid I can't stay here today. I'm here to look for Jiang Bin. I've been investigating a case these past two days, and I just got the result today. He's the criminal, and I'm here to take him away."
Princess Kang Ning stumbled when she heard this, and Xiao Jinyi quickly reached out to support her, "Aunt, be careful."
Princess Kangning grabbed his arm and asked again in disbelief. "Could it be that you checked the wrong thing? How could Xiaobin be related to the case you're investigating? He may have some bad habits, but he would never dare to harm anyone!"
Princess Kangning knew that the case that Xiao Jinyi was willing to take charge of was definitely not an ordinary case, and the lightest case had to be related to human life.
Xiao Jinyi didn't believe that it was Jiang Bin who did it before. No matter how bad this kid was, he wouldn't dare to kill anyone. At most, he would just rob a woman and beat someone half to death. He also liked to confront other playboys.
But in the end, all the evidence pointed to Jiang Bin. The owner of the house was Jiang Bin, the confessions of those he arrested were also about Jiang Bin, and the victimized women all said they had seen Jiang Bin.
"Aunt, please call my cousin back first. I will ask him if he has been framed."
Xiao Jinyi now has some doubts as to whether this result was arranged by someone in advance, but to know whether it is or not, he has to meet Jiang Bin first.
Princess Kangning quickly sent someone to call Jiang Bin back. Jiang Bin was outside drinking and having fun with his friends on the pleasure boat. When he heard Princess Kangning urging him to go home quickly, he came back impatiently.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Mom, why did you call me back at this time? My friends and I are having a great time!"
When Jiang Bin got closer, he realized why his cousin with a cold face suddenly came. When he saw Xiao Jinyi, the impatience on his face immediately disappeared and he turned into a quail.
"Cousin, you are here too!"
Xiao Jinyi didn't talk to him, but asked him directly, "A group of girls were found locked up in Qiuyuan Hutong. According to the confessions of those girls and the people guarding them, they all said that you arrested them and locked them up there, and arranged for people to watch over them, and they ran prostitutes there!"
Jiang Bin felt a little guilty when he heard about Qiuyuan Hutong. He had secretly bought a house there to hide his beauty, but later he got tired of the beauty and simply gave her a sum of money to send her away. Since then, the house has been empty ever since.
But after hearing what Xiao Jinyi said later, he was completely stunned, and then he grabbed Xiao Jinyi's hand in a panic. He didn't care about being afraid of him at this time, and said with horror: "I didn't, cousin, I really didn't do that kind of thing. I have a house in Qiuyuan Hutong, but I bought it to hide my beauty.
That was all a year ago. Later I got tired of that person so I sent him away and never went there again. ”
Xiao Jinyi felt that his fear and panic didn't seem fake, so could it be that all the things they found out were framed by others?
If this is true, the real murderer behind the scenes should be someone close to Jiang Bin, first of all, his close friends.
Jiang Bin would never dare to let his family know about the fact that he had a beautiful girl in his mansion, but given his personality, he would definitely show off to his friends.
"I believe you were framed, but you have to cooperate with my investigation. Let me ask you, does anyone know that you bought a house in Qiuyuan Hutong? Don't try to hide it. The most important thing for you now is to clear yourself of suspicion."
How could Jiang Bin dare to hide it? Since his cold-faced cousin had come to him, it must be a big case. He could lose his life if he was not careful.
Those bad friends are just eating, drinking and having fun together, but if something really goes wrong, they are better at passing the blame than anyone else.
Xiao Jinyi followed Jiang Bin's instructions and had people check one by one, even the servants around those people, and the prostitutes and courtesans who served them as they said these words were checked one by one, and there was no problem.
After listening to the report from the people around him, Xiao Jinyi looked at Jiang Bin with disappointment in his eyes, "I was wondering if someone had wronged you, but now it seems that you are playing tricks on me here."
Jiang Bin understood what he meant. He still thought he was the murderer behind the scenes. He immediately got angry and said, "It's not me! It's really not me. I swear to heaven, if I really forced others to become prostitutes, I will die a miserable death and be struck by lightning.
Cousin, I, I want to confront them face to face. I want to see who the bastard is, dares to slander me! ”
Seeing that he still refused to give up, Xiao Jinyi took him to the Dali Temple prison to confront the captured thugs face to face.
The confrontation revealed something wrong; the two groups did not know each other.
Xiao Jinyi grabbed one of them by the collar and brought him to Jiang Bin, saying in a cold voice, "When you were recording your statements, didn't you say that the person who hired you was the eldest princess's son Jiang Bin? How come now that I've brought him to you, you say you don't know him?
Are those jailers too kind to you? Do you want me to entertain you personally? ”
The man caught by Xiao Jinyi really didn’t want to be tortured anymore, and cried out, “Really, what we said is true, the person who came to us said he was the eldest princess’ son.
We have never seen the eldest princess's son, and seeing that he looks so noble, we naturally think that he is really the eldest princess's son! ”
Xiao Jinyi saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and understood that he didn't have the courage to lie in front of him, but now everything was back to square one.
Since this matter has nothing to do with Jiang Bin, who is the real mastermind behind it?
Xiao Jinyi asked Jiang Bin, who was no longer suspected, to go back first, and he continued to think about the ins and outs of the case, but he could not find anything wrong.
If Jiang Bin had not refused to plead guilty and shouted that he wanted to confront the criminal face to face. He would not think of bringing him here to confront him face to face. Wouldn't that mean he really fell into the trap of the person behind the scenes and made Jiang Bin a scapegoat!
