Chapter 248 You've Got the Wrong Person

Zong Jincheng scratched his head and said, "I can see a little bit, but I don't understand it very well."

"Where?" the prince asked patiently.

"The child is innocent, so he deserves to die even more... Is this child Liu Wu or someone else?" The little devil knew limited information and couldn't figure it out.

The prince was not in a hurry to tell him the answer, but asked him to look at the case handling procedures of the Dali Temple.

After Liu's mother said this, the Dali Temple Minister had already noticed something unusual, so he sent someone to temporarily detain her and ordered someone to investigate Liu's mother's life, from birth to marriage, and her relationships with relatives and neighbors.

The prince explained to him, "According to statistics from the Dali Temple, eight out of ten cases are committed by acquaintances. So after receiving a report, the government will first investigate the relatives, friends and neighbors of the deceased. Liu Wu's father died early, and he only has a wife and a son in his family. The government has investigated earlier and Liu Wu's wife and son have never been beaten or bullied. There is no situation where the murderer rebelled and murdered the deceased."

Zong Jincheng tilted his head and asked, "They only said that Liu Wu was very filial to his mother, but what about his mother's attitude towards Liu Wu? Did she hate him from childhood?"

"The mother is kind and the son is filial," said the prince, "this is how people around them evaluate them."

"There is no clue at all, and there are many doubts." Zong Jincheng frowned and said, "No wonder it was transferred to the Dali Temple for trial."

The prince added: "This case was voluntarily surrendered by Liu's mother. It is extremely rare for a mother to kill her son. It has caused a lot of discussion in the city, and the people have demanded that Liu's mother be executed. However, there are still doubts in the case, and it should not be hastily closed because of outside influences, otherwise it would be unfair to the deceased."

Zong Jincheng nodded heavily: "The Dali Temple is right to insist on giving justice to the deceased."

After that, he quickly asked, "Your Highness, can I go see Liu Wu's body?"

The prince gently refused: "You are still young and will have nightmares."

The kid shook his head violently and tried to say, "No, I'm very brave. Your Highness, can you take me to have a look? Maybe I can figure out a way to solve the case."

The prince still smiled and said, "No."

In the following time, the officials from the Dali Temple who went to investigate the case came back one after another, and the little devil pestered the prince and refused to take him to see the corpse. The two figures, one big and one small, were in such harmony that they seemed to be doting on each other.

The Dali Temple Minister was so happy that he stroked his beard and laughed, "It would be great if this child was really the prince. Look how happy His Highness is now."

Because Liu Wu had just died two days ago and his body was well preserved, the coroner went to check again and found a new suspicious point: there were two marks on the back of the deceased's head where the fatal wound was. The first one was lighter, and the second one was heavier. Liu's mother explained that the first blow did not kill him, so he was beaten a second time.

The Dali Temple Minister came to the Crown Prince to report: "However, the shapes of the two wounds are different, and the murder weapon is not the same. Considering the height and body size difference between the two people, I suspect that Liu's mother may have an accomplice."

Meanwhile, the investigating officer reported back a new piece of information: "When Liu's mother was young, she had a lover in the same village, but she was forced by her family to marry Liu's father. After that, they had no contact for more than 20 years."

The Dali Temple official showed a delighted expression and said, "Go, find that person, bring him back for questioning."

"yes."

The officials continued to be busy, and the prince took the little devil to read the case records of the Dali Temple, where he saw various insane serial murder cases.

The prince sighed, "Everything in the world is burdened by the seven emotions and six desires. Even kind people, when suppressed to a certain extent, will pick up the butcher knife and swing it at others."

The little devil looked at the bizarre case files, wandering through various murder methods and ideas for solving the case. Knowledge rushed into his mind like crazy, filling his big head.

"But Your Highness, would a mother really kill her own son indifferently?" Zong Jincheng still couldn't figure out this question.

Because every mother around him is very good, the second sister -in -law is very good to his brother; Aunt He is very good to He Yan; Aunt Shen is very good to Shen Yibai; although Auntie Wei always beats the road, he is also very good for the road; his grandmother also hurts, his father and the second uncle.

And there is his mother. Even though he was not her biological son, she was the best to him.

The prince lowered his eyelashes and said calmly, "Maybe. Not everyone in this world regards parental love as the most important thing. Money, power, sex, love... may all rank ahead of it."

The little devil still didn't understand. He frowned and shook his head: "These people are so superficial. They don't even cherish such pure feelings. They will definitely not be happy in the future."

The prince smiled faintly and rubbed his head.

child.

If only the world were as simple as you think...

In the afternoon.

The suspect Zhao Kun was brought in. He was a little surprised to see Liu's mother. This case had been widely reported, but he didn't expect that the murderer was actually her. No wonder the government came looking for him.

Mother kills son.

Is she crazy?

The Dali Temple official asked, "Zhao Kun, where were you when the crime happened? Is there anyone with you who can testify?"

The prince and Jincheng had just arrived and were about to sit down.

Before he could sit down, he heard Zhao Kun say, "My Lord, I was at the scene when the crime happened. I am the murderer. You have arrested the wrong person."

Zong Jincheng was stunned: "!!!"

Is it so easy to try a case in the Dali Temple?

The prisoner confessed as soon as he arrived. What's the point of conducting a trial?

The Dali Temple Minister was also shocked. He quickly looked at the Crown Prince, and when he saw that the latter did not call for a stop, he turned around and continued to ask, "Tell me in detail."

Zhao Kun said, "I went to look for her the day before yesterday afternoon, but was caught by Liu Wu. I was afraid that Liu Wu would spread our scandal, so I smashed Liu Wu's head with a hammer. And she came to the government office to surrender herself in order to take the blame for me."

Mother Liu raised her calm eyes and glared at him, "Zhao Kun, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Kun said seriously: "I'm not talking nonsense. We didn't get together back then, and I've always felt resentful about it. So after Liu Wu's father died, I wanted to reconcile with you. If Liu Wu were alive, he would get in our way, so of course I would choose to kill him."

"You..." Mother Liu was so angry that she wanted to stand up, but she was held down by the officer and couldn't move.

The Dali Temple official was very happy, but he still had to try the case. He asked, "Where were you standing when you hit the victim's head with the hammer?"

Zhao Kun said: "From behind, I took advantage of the moment when he reached for the stick and attacked him from behind, killing him with one strike."

Upon hearing this, the little devil looked at the prince.

That's not right. One hit was just a rumor. The initial autopsy results were not made public. The correct number should be two hits.

Zhao Kun is lying.

The prince smiled at him and motioned for him to continue listening.

The Dali Temple Minister knew the real background, so he just asked Liu's mother, "Do you believe what Zhao Kun said?"
