At this point, Liu Cheng hurriedly kowtowed to Chu Xuanchen, "Your Highness, I was tortured into confessing. Please believe me, I really didn't kill Madame Li. I also don't know how she died. I was wronged! "
Geng Tian immediately pointed at Liu Cheng angrily and said, "You're lying. The jailers didn't torture you at all. You confessed because you felt guilty."
Wei Lin also said, "That's right, Your Highness. Don't listen to Liu Cheng's one-sided story. That night, I kindly invited Liu Cheng to drink. While drinking, I discovered that he had been secretly glancing at my wife, Jin 'er, as if he was plotting something. However, I was drunk at the time and didn't take it to heart. I continued to drink with him. After that, I was completely drunk and didn't know what had happened. When I woke up, I saw Liu Cheng lying on my bed with his clothes disheveled, and Jin 'er lying beside him, already dead. I saw many strangulation marks on Jin 'er's neck, so I concluded that Liu Cheng killed her. That's why I arrested Liu Cheng and sent him to prison. I wanted him to pay for my poor wife's life! "
Hearing Wei Lin's words, Liu Cheng was furious. "You're lying. I didn't peek at your wife, nor did I strangle her to death!"
"At that time, you and my wife were both disheveled. She was sleeping beside you. If you didn't kill her, who else could it be?" Wei Lin asked coldly.
"Greetings, Your Highness. Regarding Liu Cheng's case, this subordinate found something strange." While the two were arguing, Mo Zhu walked in from outside.
Seeing Mo Zhu come in, Chu Xuanchen knew that there should be progress in the case.
When Geng Tian saw Mo Zhu, his face instantly darkened.
Chu Xuanchen glanced at everyone and said, "Mo Zhu, what's strange? Tell me quickly."
Mo Zhu glanced coldly at Wei Lin and said, "Your Highness, this subordinate asked Wei Lin's neighbor. His neighbor said that Wei Lin didn't marry at all. In fact, Li Jin 'er wasn't his wife at all, but a prostitute from Zuixiang House. The two of them only had a physical transaction. They weren't husband and wife at all. From this, it can be seen that Wei Lin lied from the beginning! "
"You, you're talking nonsense. Jin 'er is my wife. We got married in private. Of course, I won't tell anyone!" Wei Lin argued in a panic.
Mo Zhu sneered, "But I asked the brothel keeper of the Zuixiang House. She said that Jin 'er didn't marry you at all because she needs to be a good person before marrying you. She didn't even redeem herself, so how could she dare to marry you? So you're lying! "
Chu Xuanchen's cold gaze swept over Wei Lin. "Wei Lin, why don't you tell us the truth? What exactly is going on!"
"I … I …" Wei Lin was so shocked by Chu Xuanchen that he couldn't speak because he had done something wrong.
He glanced at Su Changxiao with some fear, not daring to speak.
At this moment, Yun Ruoyue suddenly stepped forward and looked at Wei Lin coldly. "Wei Lin, Liu Cheng, when Li Jin 'er died, there were only the two of you in the room, right?"
"Yes. It was night time, and I was afraid that a thief would sneak in, so I locked the door. There were only Liu Cheng and I in the room at that time, so Liu Cheng must have killed Jin 'er, "Wei Lin said.
Yun Ruoyue looked at Liu Cheng again. "Liu Cheng, did you touch Jin 'er's neck that night?"
"No, I didn't kill Jin 'er at all. I didn't even touch her body, so how could I touch her neck?" Liu Cheng hurriedly said.
"Okay, according to your testimony, it means that there were only the three of you in Wei Lin's house at that time. The murderer must be one of the two of you. It's very simple to find out which one of you is the murderer. Since Jin 'er was strangled to death, there must be a deep choking mark on her neck. Once the murderer choked Jin' er's neck, the murderer's fingerprints would also be left on her neck. "
