Chapter 62 Interrogation (Part 2)

"Xiang Qingshan." Xie Hui in the hall said a name in a calm voice.

Mingwu, who was kneeling in the hall, did not react at first. After a long time, he said that it was his name before he became a monk.

He also explained: "This name has not been called for a long time. In the ordinary world, the poor monk has long forgotten it."

[Who could have known that the one who died was Xiang Qingshan. ]

"Really?"

It's really strange that after becoming a monk for a few years, he has forgotten the name he has been called for more than twenty years.

"#@＊+..." Xie Hui uttered another sentence that no one could understand.

After the name incident, Mingwu became alert and stared at Xie Hui as soon as he spoke.

"Xiang Qingshan, what did I just say?" Xie Hui replied in Huizhou dialect. When Mingwu first became a monk at Du'e Temple, the pass he handed to the temple stated that his real name was Xiang Qingshan, and he was from Huizhou.

At this time, his monk certificate still recorded these two points. So Xie Hui casually spoke a sentence in Huizhou dialect to test Xiang Qingshan.

The result is self-evident, Mingwu absolutely cannot be Xiang Qingshan.

At this time, Shen Yuan quietly told her father while adding tea that the deceased was Xiang Qingshan.

Mingwu wanted to find another excuse, but Xie Hui didn't let him continue and just gave the conclusion directly.

"You are not Xiang Qingshan. Then who is it? Could it be that the deceased is Xiang Qingshan?"

This is Xie Hui's guess, but it is not a random guess. Mingwu could not have taken Xiang Qingshan's identity documents to become a monk in Du'e Temple for no reason. The most likely possibility is that he killed Xiang Qingshan, took over his identity, and hid in Du'e Temple.

After seeing Mingwu's expression, Xie Hui knew that he must have guessed right.

According to the abbot of Du'e Temple, Mingwu came here three years ago and asked the abbot to shave his head for him.

This time coincides with the approximate time of death of the deceased, and Xie Hui does not believe it is just a coincidence.

"The one who died is Xiang Qingshan, who are you?"

Mingwu felt that the secret he had hidden for many years was about to be revealed bit by bit, so he decided not to speak any more, and acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

But he didn't know that even if he kept silent, there would be someone who knew the answer.

[Who am I? I'm sorry you can't guess that I was the one who did the Yao family murder in Bingzhou.]

"Mingwu, according to the Dazhao Law, anyone who impersonates someone else can be sentenced to fifty strokes of the cane."

But no matter what Xie Hui said, he was determined not to say anything else, and looked like he was ready to hit you if you wanted to.

While going to the back to change the tea, Shen Yuan wrote a note, and then threw the note on the table when she served tea to her father.

Little did she know that her little action was seen by Xie Hui who was sitting high up.

Shen Yun carefully opened the note, and his eyes narrowed when he saw the words "Bingzhou Yao Family Case".

This case is an old one from five years ago, when all thirteen members of the Yao family died of poisoning. The then Bingzhou prefect speculated that the murderer was probably Yu Wenda, a good friend of Yao Shengtai, the head of the Yao family at that time.

At that time, Yu Wenda was living in the Yao family. After the incident, Yu Wenda disappeared. Later, the prefect of Bingzhou also quickly reported the case, and the Dali Temple issued arrest warrants to various states and counties. Unfortunately, this person seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and has been missing since then.

If the man in front of him was Yu Wenda, he would definitely refuse to reveal his identity. He still felt lucky, thinking that the government had no evidence to convict him of murdering Xiang Qingshan, so even if he went to jail, it would not be a capital crime.

But the Yao family case is different. The nature of their crimes is so heinous that they will definitely not escape the death penalty.

After Shen Yun figured it out, he immediately declined and said the case would be retried at another day.

It is common to postpone the trial to another day when the Dali Temple is trying cases. There are always some people who are lucky and think that the government can't do anything to them if they don't speak up.

At this time, we need to slow down and let the suspect live in the Dali Temple's prison for a few days. The prison is not a comfortable place. After a few days, it is not easy to maintain mental stability.

These are all trial techniques, but Xie Hui had just entered the Dali Temple and encountered such a situation for the first time, so he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

Shen Yun saw this, but he did not say anything to comfort her. Young people all go through this, and they have to figure it out on their own in the end. It is not easy to handle a case. There are still many unsolved cases in the case files stored in the Dali Temple. Some of them are even cases from the time of the previous emperor, and perhaps the truth will never be revealed in this lifetime...

"Master Xie, have you ever thought about why Mingwu used an impersonation? Even if Xiang Qingshan is dead, he could still be discovered pretending to be Xiang Qingshan. He could have become a monk with his own identity and burned Xiang Qingshan's identity documents. Wouldn't it be better if Xiang Qingshan no longer existed in this world?"

"Is there something wrong with his identity?!" After Xie Hui thought about it for a while, he figured out the reason.

"I understand. I will go check the case files to see which cases have suspects that have not been arrested."

"Don't worry, he should spend a few days in the cell."

"I thank Lord Shen for his teachings." Xie Hui bent down and bowed to Shen Yun seriously.

Shen Yun immediately grabbed his hand and stopped him from kneeling down. He really didn't deserve this gift. It could be said that this case so far was all due to his young lady's efforts.

But he couldn't say it. As a father, Shen Yun felt ashamed at the thought of claiming credit for his daughter's work.

If women could become officials, he should have let his daughter become the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

"Xie sir, there is no need to be so polite."

When the two came out of the house, Shen Yuan had already changed back into his own clothes.

"Dad, Sir Xie, can I go home now?" All the prisoners were taken to jail, and Shen Yuan had nothing to do here. Moreover, she got up very early today and had not had a drop of water until now. She was really hungry.

“Gugu——”

Shen Yuan covered his stomach and laughed awkwardly.

"Miss Shen has helped a lot today. Why don't you have dinner in the Dali Temple?" There is also a place for outsiders to dine in the Dali Temple.

"OK!"

"cough!"

"Okay...?" Shen Yuan glanced at her father.

Shen Yun had no choice but to agree. A girl can't be kept when she grows up...

"You can come back after you have your meal. Dad will ask someone to take you there. Qingdai and Baizhi should be waiting for you at the gatehouse. You can go and have your meal with them."

"Okay!" Shen Yuan smiled happily and did not forget to compliment him before leaving.

"Thank you, sir, for reviewing the case today so well. You can even speak Huizhou dialect, so amazing!"

Shen Yun closed his eyes and said, "Let's go!"

"Okay! Goodbye, Dad. Goodbye, Mr. Xie!"

"My little girl is naughty. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Xie." Shen Yun replied to Xie.

Xie Hui smiled and said, "Your daughter is very smart and clever, so why should you say that I am embarrassed?"

Xie Hui: Why don’t you stay for dinner?

Shen Yuan: Okay? Okay.
