Chapter 1599 Mo Ziqi Protects His Wife (5)

Hearing this, Li Guogong said calmly: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. Not to mention that Mu is the granddaughter-in-law of the old minister, even if she is the grandson of the old minister, if she breaks the law, the old city will never cover it up.  "

At this time, it was already dawn. Nangong Yi and the ministers had not slept all night, so he asked the ministers to go back and rest first, and he and Li Guogong continued to investigate Nangong Yu's case. Queen Mother Mo refused to go back and insisted on following them to investigate the case. She repeatedly stated that if someone wanted to cover up the criminal, she would not hesitate to perish together with her and avenge her daughter.

When she said this, her eyes were always on Fei'er, as if she had already determined that Fei'er was the criminal who killed Nangong Yu.

Fei'er was only twelve or thirteen years old. She had never seen such a scene before. Not only was she framed, but she was also accused of such a serious crime. She was naturally terrified. When she looked at Mo Ziqi, her big watery eyes were full of grievances. She pursed her lips tightly. If she hadn't tried hard to control herself, she would have cried a long time ago.

Mo Ziqi saw it and felt pain in his heart, but he also knew that it was a serious matter. Now was not the time for him to coax her or comfort her. The most urgent task was to find out the real murderer and help her clear the suspicion.

Duke Liguo first ordered people to bring Yingchun's body over and ordered Lan'er to identify it to see if it was the woman she saw last night.

When Lan'er saw Yingchun with a pair of bulging eyes, a long tongue, and a hideous face, she fainted with fear.

Yingchun now was too scary. It was impossible to tell if she was the same person as last night. However, judging from her figure and clothes, she was indeed the same woman as last night. After Lan'er woke up, she dared not look at her again no matter what. She just covered her eyes and cried, "Yes, it's her!"

This was a clue that was not favorable to Fei'er. If this Yingchun was the Yingchun who cheated Nangong Yu away, then Fei'er would be more suspected of murder.

Then, Duke Li Guo inspected Yingchun's body and found that Yingchun did not hang herself, but was strangled to death and then hung.

For people who hanged themselves, the strangle marks on their necks are slightly curved upwards, which is caused by the weight of the person. For people who were strangled to death, there are eight-shaped crosses behind their necks. There are faint traces of such crosses behind Yingchun's neck, so it can be concluded that she was strangled to death first and then hung.

This clue was originally nothing, but with Lan'er's confession that this Yingchun was that Yingchun, it was even more unfavorable to Fei'er. Empress Dowager Mo immediately determined that Fei'er had murdered to silence the witnesses, and she even shouted that she would take the people around Fei'er away and torture them severely, and she would definitely be able to find out the truth.

Duke Liguo disagreed. He said: "Under severe punishment, there will be wrongful convictions. If these girls can't stand the beating and make random accusations, wouldn't that be wrongly accusing good people!"

Empress Dowager Mo disagreed. She said excitedly: "Father, Mu Caifei has the motive to kill, the time to commit the crime, and so much evidence. Why can't she be convicted? Besides, how can you be sure that if you interrogate these girls strictly, they will definitely make random accusations instead of confessing the truth?"

Duke Liguo said: "Although all kinds of evidence show that Mu is unfavorable, there are still many loopholes in this case. For example, if Mu asked the princess to meet in the mountains and wait for an opportunity to kill, she would have to go out of the house, but the guards never saw them go out. Mu is just an ordinary woman and doesn't know martial arts. She How to take this girl in and out of the mountain without being noticed by the guards? Also, the hanged Yingchun was only wearing underwear. Her clothes, which were the same as those of the other maids, were missing. We searched the whole room but couldn't find them. Can we understand that Yingchun was strangled to death and then the hair was pulled out to commit the crime? "

Empress Dowager Mo's eyes were red with hatred. She was convinced that Fei'er had killed Nangong Yu. She said tyrannically: "Although father also has doubts, but you have ignored so much evidence pointing to Mu Caifei. Don't say that I am unreasonable. I will give you three hours. If you can't find strong evidence to exonerate Mu Caifei after three hours, you must torture these three maids. People are cheap skin and cheap flesh. If you beat them, they will confess!"
