Chapter 496 Behind the Curtain
The dancer sensed the hostility in the gaze and immediately did not dare to speak.
Lin Zhiqing smiled. The dancer answered her very quickly without any pause or thought.
Lin Zhiqing had seen this kind of formulaic "memorizing answers" behavior on Biluo before.
It was obvious that the dancer was lying.
and……
Lin Zhiqing looked at the Daliang envoy and said, "Your Excellency, you have indeed put in a lot of effort to come to Dasheng."
"Even this girl knows Changqing Street. Changqing Street is an inconspicuous alley in the East Market."
"Even a true Dasheng person probably wouldn't be able to remember it so clearly."
When the Daliang envoy heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously looked at the prince behind the screen.
Lin Zhiqing's words seemed to be saying that he had good intentions, but in fact they were implying that he had bad intentions.
It is unacceptable that a little dancer knows the terrain of Dasheng so well.
He calmed himself down and spoke again:
"Since I came to Shengjing City, I've been to many places out of curiosity. She often goes out with me, so it's not surprising that she knows all these places."
The dancer nodded quickly, confirming the Daliang envoy's statement.
Lin Zhiqing didn't even look at the dancer, but only looked at the Daliang envoy.
The envoy from Daliang narrowed his eyes and raised his chin slightly. He seemed a little guilty, but still wanted to convince others to believe his performance.
lie!
According to the rules, when envoys from Daliang came to Shengjing, no matter where they went, they must be followed by people from Dasheng.
Lin Zhiqing looked in the direction of the prince.
As long as the prince speaks up and asks the people who followed the Daliang envoy to come out and speak, they will know whether the Daliang envoy has been to Changqing Street.
According to Lin Zhiqing's observations, the envoy from Daliang was indeed lying.
They were able to quickly tell the location of Changqing Street, which was not something they could achieve overnight.
It seems that Jiang Yunhe's relationship with Daliang is deeper than Lin Zhiqing imagined.
However, the prince did not say anything.
This attitude tacitly acknowledged the statement that the Daliang envoy had been to Changqing Street.
That’s not right… Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly.
The others also understood from the prince's attitude that the envoy from Daliang had been to Changqing Street.
The Daliang envoy puffed out his chest, and the dancer's expression relaxed and she nodded.
Seeing this, Zhou Chongzheng immediately said, "If that's the case, this matter does make sense."
"Sir," Lin Zhiqing said again, "Can this girl be a witness?"
"Yes, the witness is in place. Lin Zhiqing, do you have anything else to say?" Zhou Chongzheng frowned and looked at him coldly.
Lin Yangyang and others around him were extremely anxious, but Lin Zhiqing remained calm and spoke again:
"Sir, this girl is not telling the truth. She is close to the envoy and is naturally on his side. She wants to frame me."
"Please find a coroner to take a look and see how this follower died!"
She remained calm in the face of danger and showed some courage.
Zhou Chongzheng looked at the body on the ground and waved his hand: "I have already asked the coroner to examine it."
As he spoke, someone immediately brought the coroner up.
After the coroner saluted, he walked to the corpse and pointed at the corpse's arm:
"Please see, the surface of this wound is uneven, often forming irregular contusions and abrasions, and accompanied by a certain amount of bruising."
"In addition to the subcutaneous bleeding, there were also clay fragments in the wound, indicating it was indeed a stone-inflicted wound."
"Yes, it was indeed me who did it, because he wanted to pull me around, and I had to do it to protect myself." Lin Zhiqing admitted it very straightforwardly.
The Daliang envoy frowned: "Since you admit that you killed someone, why do you distort the facts?"
"Your Excellency, I injured him, not killed him. You know very well who distorted the facts!" Lin Zhiqing frowned.
"Besides, can the wound on the hand be fatal? If it can't be fatal, what can it prove?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at the coroner and said in a gentle tone:
"Where is the fatal wound on this person's body?"
The Daliang envoy said:
"Miss Lin's skill at feigning madness and stupidity has become increasingly refined. How could you not know where the fatal wound of the person you killed was?"
He narrowed his eyes and pointed at the heart of the corpse.
The coroner nodded and said, "Yes, this man has a very deep wound on his chest, caused by a dagger."
Zhou Chongzheng looked at Lin Zhiqing: "Second Miss Lin, what's your explanation?"
Lin Zhiqing looked at the coroner and said slowly, "Please check again."
"Let's not even mention how I could have accurately stabbed the dagger into the follower's chest without any martial arts skills. Just to mention that this follower was over eight feet tall, I had to raise my hand to stab him in the heart."
"Also, when a person raises their hand, the force is directed downwards, so the blade should be slanted downwards."
Lin Zhiqing said as he looked at the wound on the corpse: "The edge of the knife is right in the middle. It was clearly pushed in by someone of similar height."
"I don't have the ability to do it, let alone the motivation!"
After listening to Lin Zhiqing's words, the coroner looked at it again carefully.
He was only responsible for examining the body, but did not take Lin Zhiqing's height into consideration.
It seems that something is indeed wrong.
After checking, he stood up and spoke, confirming Lin Zhiqing's idea:
"Sir, it is true as Miss Lin Er said. The wound was most likely not caused by her."
Hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of all the Lin family members.
The prince's body behind the curtain also moved slightly.
The Daliang envoy frowned: "This is impossible, I clearly saw her kill someone with my own eyes!"
The dancer quickly said, "I saw it too. She must have used some clever tricks in advance to deliberately create a wound that didn't fit her body shape."
"Your Excellency the Envoy, let me ask you the same question again. What is my motive for killing?" Lin Zhiqing spoke again.
The Daliang envoy pursed his lips and said, "I have witnesses. Don't even think of quibbling!"
Lin Zhiqing looked at the envoy from Daliang and then at Zhou Chongzheng.
Obviously, this matter is not over yet.
The Daliang envoy and she each had their own story, and neither could produce conclusive evidence to prove the truth of the matter.
If this continues, at best it will just end in nothing.
But Lin Zhiqing's purpose was not to prove who killed the person.
She glanced at the entrance of Dali Temple; it was empty.
Could it be that Wang Shuyi failed again?
There's not much time left.
If Wang Shuyi fails to convince Wang Yuan, then she can only activate the backup plan.
She silently counted to five in her heart. Seeing that the envoy from Daliang was becoming more and more arrogant, she turned to look at Lin Yangyang.
Lin Yangyang pursed her lips and also glanced at the door.
Empty.
She understood Lin Zhiqing's intention to activate the backup plan and nodded.
After killing someone, Yan Wu placed a poisonous insect inside the body.
As long as the poisonous insect is produced, Lin Zhiqing's innocence can be proved.
Lin Yangyang had to go and bring Yan Wu in.
She moved outward.
Just then, a flurry of hurried footsteps was heard.
Someone is coming!
