The person who came was Hu Panpan. After returning home yesterday, she spent most of the night thinking about the second line of the couplet, but couldn't come up with it. Then, in the morning, she heard the servants report that Miss Chuchu had committed suicide.
This is fun!
Chuchu's true identity was still unknown to the Hu family. By this time, Chuchu was disfigured and had committed suicide.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
The person who committed suicide couldn't possibly be Chu Chu. Otherwise, why would she disfigure herself first? Wouldn't that just make things worse? Besides, disfigurement must be painful, right?
It's obvious that someone wants to put the blame on the uncle.
This method is really stupid!
However, Aunt Lan now insists that it was the uncle who spread the rumors, causing her Chuchu to be unable to bear the humiliation and commit suicide.
"There are only four days left. Isn't this causing trouble? If I can't earn enough 10,000 taels, how can I divorce my evil wife and marry a beautiful one?" Baili Tang said helplessly.
"You damned bastard!" Ye Hongxue took the opportunity to twist Baili Tang's ear. "If you don't earn enough to give me ten thousand taels, I will be indebted to you for the rest of my life! You will never be allowed to take a concubine again!"
Fierce!!
The prefect, upon learning of this, was completely overwhelmed. "Stupid woman, why would you want to destroy your appearance if you wanted to? Master, do you want to go to court? Don't even think about it. The dead woman must be Chu Chu!"
The lawyer suggested, "Sir, you only need to judge this case impartially. But first, you must prove that this woman is not Miss Chuchu!"
"She's disfigured, how can we prove it? They all believe that this woman is Chu Chu!" This is the tricky part!
"There are many ways, sir."
Prince An and Hu Zhenxing had already arrived at the government office. They wanted to see who the man from yesterday was. After returning, someone reported the incident to them, and they became very interested in Mr. Yu.
Therefore, this case must be tried.
In order not to waste time, Baili Tang took the initiative to go to the court. Ye Hongxue, Hu Panpan, Dong Xiaoliu, the shopkeeper and others were also present.
As soon as Baili Tang arrived, Auntie Lan pointed at Baili Tang and said sternly: "Sir, this woman forced Chuchu, whom I treated as my own daughter, to death!" Judging from the appearance of this woman, she is not someone who is easy to talk to!
The prefect shouted, "How dare you roar in court! Don't speak until I give you a chance to answer. Otherwise, I'll punish you for disturbing the court!"
Then the prefect asked Aunt Lan: "Tell me, how did he force Chuchu to death..."
Baili Tang raised his hands high, neither kneeling nor bowing: "Sir, are you free?"
Baili Tang noticed that two men, more prominent than the prefect, were sitting in the hall. One of them was someone he had met on the street yesterday, though he hadn't looked closely at the time. Now, he felt familiar, as if he'd seen him somewhere before... Yes, his face bore some resemblance, but his features were more three-dimensional and refined... Could this person be... Why are you more handsome than me? So much more handsome!
"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhilin frowned.
"I only need two pieces of evidence to prove my innocence. In the next four days, I still have to earn 10,000 taels of silver to divorce my wife! I don't have the time to play around with you!"
This person is probably the most arrogant person in Jingguo!
Two pieces of evidence to prove your innocence?
Earn ten thousand taels of silver in four days?
Baili Tang had solved the case before. Ye Hongxue thought, could it be that Zhang Dongzheng helped you solve it first, and then you continued to act?
This time, Zhang Dongzheng is not here, let’s see how you act.
Baili Tang really didn't want to waste time: "First piece of evidence. Old lady, is your Miss Chuchu a virgin?"
An "old woman" made Aunt Lan's blood boil. She looked only a few years older than you... She wasn't even forty yet!
Aunt Lan suppressed her anger and said, "Yes! The girls in Cuiyi Building can all testify to this!!"
Baili Tang asked the Lord, "Sir, did the coroners' autopsy report mention this?"
Zhang Zhilin couldn't help but look at the coroner, who quickly shook his head.
The master suggested: "Sir, you can find two or three experienced midwives to examine the body."
Baili Tang said, "The first piece of evidence isn't the main point. The main point is, your Miss Chuchu has been learning the piano since she was five, right? She's been learning every day? How many years has she been learning?"
Aunt Lan snorted coldly: "Chu Chu, no matter how cold or hot, windy or rainy it was, you studied piano for five hours every day to achieve what you have today... Who would have known, who would have known..." She pretended to cry again.
Baili Tang interrupted her: "Does your daughter have anyone who has studied the piano for ten years?"
Auntie Lan pointed outside at several glamorously dressed women and said, "They're all similar. They're usually the closest to Chuchu."
The lawyer murmured, "The case is solved."
Zhang Zhilin also nodded: "Yes."
Prince An and Hu Zhenxing's eyes also lit up.
Ye Hongxue smiled bitterly.
Hu Panpan was surprised.
They were probably all thinking—what a simple case! They hadn't had time to think about it that way yet…
Baili Tang: "Sir, compare their hands that have been playing the piano for ten years with the hands of the deceased." The deceased was covered with a white cloth, and Baili Tang had never seen the deceased's ten fingers. He was taking a gamble.
The result is predictable, Baili Tang won the bet.
The ten fingers of the deceased were not the hands used to play the piano at all. They were very tender, without any calluses and the skin was not peeling!
Baili Tang said sternly, "Sir, it's clear that the deceased is definitely not Miss Chuchu. And this old woman treated Miss Chuchu as her own daughter. Do you think she wouldn't recognize the daughter she raised and saw day and night for more than ten years?"
Aunt Lan was horrified: "Her face is ruined, how can I explain it? Who would even look at her fingers?"
