The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Chapter 196 Confession

Jiang Jingshi avoided the suspicious look of Jingzhao Yin.

"Your Excellency also knows that I am staying at my uncle's house, living under someone else's roof, so naturally it is better to have less trouble than more."

Jingzhao Yin looked at Jiang Jingshi without saying anything. His words made sense, but what he didn't know was that they knew much more than he thought.

"Oh?

Although it sounds like your statement is impeccable, you are not the only eyewitness who witnessed the murder of Princess Leyang that day."

"What!" Jiang Jingshi looked at Jingzhao Yin in disbelief.

There was actually an eyewitness who saw cousin Yanran kill Princess Leyang.

No, that's not right. If there really was an eyewitness, why didn't they just arrest cousin Yanran, but instead arrested me for interrogation.

Jiang Jingshi's brain suddenly came online.

Jiang Jingshi: Calm down, calm down, you have to calm down. They might be trying to trick me. He was hiding aside that day and did not see any eyewitnesses.

Jingzhao Yin looked at Jiang Jingshi, who was shocked but trying to remain calm, and smiled, "Mr. Jiang, your reaction is a bit too big, isn't it?"

Jiang Jingshi naturally knew that he was doubting himself. No, he had been doubting himself all the time. He told himself to stay calm. Things had come to this point. He couldn't panic. If he panicked, everything would be over.

"It's a bit surprising, but it's a good thing. It was too dark that night, and I didn't find any useful clues. Since there are other witnesses, I think we will have a better chance of catching the murderer."

Hearing him say this, Jingzhao Yin raised his eyebrows. What he said sounded high-sounding, but it was a pity that he was still young and inexperienced, and he had not yet trained himself to the point where he could lie without changing his expression or heart beating.

He didn't even dare look himself in the eye when he spoke.

"Mr. Jiang's words are indeed true. According to what Mr. Jiang said, it was too dark that day and he couldn't see anything clearly.

But the man said that the moonlight was so bright that day that the lawn in front of the moat looked like daylight.

The two of you gave completely different testimonies, which confused me for a moment."

Jingzhao Yin looked at Jiang Jingshi, curled his lips, and said word by word, "I don't know which one of you lied."

Jiang Jingshi shuddered and tried hard to recall the scene of that night. The moonlight that day seemed to be very bright. Yes, the lawn was indeed illuminated by the moonlight. Although he was hiding in the dark at that time, he did see the hideous look of Princess Leyang before her death.

Yes, the moonlight was indeed bright that night.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jingshi felt extremely terrified. No one could change the moonlight, so why did he just tell such an obvious lie?

"It seems that Mr. Jiang has remembered something?" Jingzhao Yin looked at him with a smile.

When Jingzhao Yin was young, he was also a tall and thin man. Later, as he got older and became the Jingzhao Yin, he became a lot lax, so he gained weight in middle age. He became plump and white like Maitreya Buddha, and looked even more like one when he smiled.

But in Jiang Jingshi's eyes, his smile at this moment looked no different from that of the devil.

Seeing Jiang Jingshi sweating and trembling with guilt, Jingzhao Yin's smile deepened. Suddenly, he put away all the smiles on his face and said coldly, "At this point, you still don't tell the truth!"

Jiang Jingshi was extremely panicked and wanted to admit it, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope.

Jing Zhao Yin had seen him like this many times, and knew what he was thinking at a glance, "What? Still not crying until you see the coffin?"

"If you continue to resist, I will send you to see the real coffin. It will be useless for you to shed tears then."

It has to be said that Jingzhao Yin knew how to break through the psychological defenses of the prisoners.

After several battles, Chiang Ching-shih was now at the end of his strength and was at a loss as to what to do.

"I, I really don't know..."

"I advise you to think it over carefully." Jingzhao Yin's eyes swept across his waist, and he spoke in confusion, "Killing people also requires skills. You did find a good place and disguised yourself, but why didn't you take off the jade pendant?"

Yu Pei!

Jiang Jingshi suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Jingzhao Yin.

Jing Zhao Yin looked at him and smiled, "Why? Did you remember?

You should have advised her, or taken action for her. How can a grown man watch his beloved girl do this? "

After Jingzhao Yin finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Jingshi with interest, wanting to see his reaction.

After Jiang Jingshi heard what Jingzhao Yin said, the last two words in his mind were: It's over.

He knew that since they had recruited him, they must have some evidence or suspicion. Although he was worried, he was not very worried. He thought that they were relatively well prepared for this matter.

Even though they suspected that he had no evidence, he never expected that they not only found witnesses, but also investigated the truth of the matter.

"What? Are you surprised? There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world." Jingzhao Yin looked at him and said.

These were originally just his guesses, but judging by his reaction now, his guesses should be the truth of the matter unless something unexpected happens.

Seeing that Jiang Jingshi did not speak, Jingzhao Yin turned around and said, "I have already given you the opportunity to speak. Since you are stubborn and unyielding, just wait in this prison until I catch the real murderer.

But then you won't have the chance to redeem yourself from your crime."

Jingzhao Yin said this and walked away.

Jiang Jingshi took a deep look at his back, lowered his head dejectedly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll say."

Jing Zhao Yin, who had his back to him, raised his lips and turned around, "Wouldn't it be better if you had cooperated earlier?"

Jiang Jingshi did not speak before because of his family and Liu Yuanfeng's promise. He spoke now because he knew he had no other way out. Jingzhao Prefecture knew much more about the case than he did. Even if he did not speak, it would not affect their investigation and arrest. But by that time, he would no longer be of any use.

"The real murderer of Princess Leyang is Liu Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and I am her accomplice." Jiang Jingshi said dejectedly.

Jingzhao Yin walked to the table and sat down, signaling the clerk beside him to start taking notes.

Jingzhao Yin: "Tell me, why did you kill Princess Leyang, and how did you kill her?"

This time Chiang Ching-shih did not hide it because there was no need.

"I had a secret affair with my cousin, and was accidentally discovered by Princess Leyang during one of our intimate moments. Princess Leyang has always been dissatisfied with my cousin because of her reputation as the most talented woman in the capital.

After she learned about my affair with my cousin, she kept threatening and mocking me. "Jiang Jingshi looked up at Jingzhao Yin, "She kept pushing me, and my cousin couldn't stand it anymore, so she discussed with me to get rid of Princess Leyang."

Sure enough, the truth of the matter was basically the same as they guessed.

"You are really brave. You even killed the princess of the dynasty."
