Chapter 68: Another Life [Thanks Sticker Big

Zhou Ze stared at the two of them, and the case became more and more confusing.

The fool could tell that Zhong’s mother had already recognized that this was Zhong Yishan’s skull.

However, Zhong's father stopped him and refused to identify him. This was beyond Zhou Ze's expectations. It was said that the tiger would not eat his son. If his daughter died, wouldn't it matter if he caught the murderer?

At this time, Zhong's father glanced at Liu Xiangzhong who was kneeling on the ground.

Zhou Ze instantly figured out the key, everything was because of Liu Xiangzhong.

They were afraid of letting Liu Xiangzhong go, because this was the son-in-law of the Zhong family. They died. The adopted children were adopted after all, and the huge family business fell into Liu Xiangzhong's hands.

Zhou Ze grabbed the gavel's hand and held it tightly, and his knuckles were a little white.

The attitude of the Zhong family's parents was beyond Zhou Ze's expectations. Now that the whole case is stuck here and the Zhong family's parents do not identify it, it will not be proved that the head is Zhong Yishan's, and this will not be convicted of the Zhang brothers.

Seeing Zhou Ze stopping, the Zhang brothers looked at each other, obviously no longer had the previous nervousness.

At this moment, Wang Zhaodi knelt down straight.

"Qi Ming Mansion, the civilian woman has been taking care of Miss Zhong for eighteen years and has been by her since she was a child. She knows everything about Miss Zhong very well. Why would you let the civilian woman take a look?"

Zhong’s mother quit.

"Shut up, you are a naughty man, where can you speak here?"

Wang Zhaodi seemed to have not heard it, but just looked up at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze waved his hand.

"Don't yell in the court. If you don't remember that you are the deceased's mother, you've already slapped your mouth. Wang Zhaodi got up and went to take a look."

Zhong’s mother seemed to be still eager to try, but the Zhang brothers and the people who were watching the audience knew that the stuttering in this county magistrate’s mouth was not a joke. If you are angry, please do whatever you want.

Wang Zhaodi walked to the coffin.

Zhong's mother seemed a little worried, pulled Zhong's father's sleeve, and Zhong's father quickly threw it away and warned her with his eyes.

Wang Zhaodi looked at it for a while, pointed to the pearl hairpin and said:

"This bead hairpin is a good east bead. Alang exchanged it for a lot of money from the Western Zhou Dynasty. There are two in total, and the colors are slightly different. He created a pair of east bead spiral bead hairpin, also called the mother and son hairpin.

Although the pair of bead hairpins look similar, they are slightly different. What is particularly amazing is that the pair of bead hairpins can be rotated and combined into one. This is what the inlay master said at that time. Because I accompanied the lady to pick up the goods, we both knew about it.

Seven years ago, when the lady was married, the woman gave one of the Dongzhuzhu Hairpins to the lady. The lady liked it very much and wore it almost every day.

At this moment, I saw that Ms. Zhong was wearing another beaded hairpin of an east bead. The folk woman could demonstrate how to combine two into one."

As soon as Wang Zhaodi said this, Zhong's mother subconsciously touched her head.

Zhou Ze was delighted and quickly waved his hand to Wang Han.

"Take it over and demonstrate it in front of me."

Wang Han quickly took off the beads on the skull, rinsed them with water, wiped them with strong wine, and gave them a meal to the table in front of Zhou Ze.

Chen Wenchi, who was holding the tray, stood in front of Zhong’s mother without talking nonsense. He just held the tray without even a look, and had a disdainful expression on his face.

"No, I dislike it with dead things!"

Chen Wenchi stretched out his hand and, he had pulled out the pearl hairpin, and of course, there was also a strand of black and white hair mixed with hair.

Such a father and mother really don’t know what to say, Chen Wenchi sent the pearl hairpin over.

People outside all stood on tiptoe, as if they could see more if they had grown by a few centimeters.

"Wang Zhaodi, please demonstrate sideways so that everyone can see it clearly."

"Here."

Wang Zhaodi pulled her legs, which were not very smart, turned around with difficulty, holding a beaded hairpin in one hand, and lifting her hands high.

As his hands were rotating closer, the spirals of the two bead hairpins were also combined into one, and then a click sound was made. Wang Zhaodi was obviously relieved and raised the bead hairpins.

Now it looks like a pair of tandem lotus, and the bottom is not thick and it is just more three-dimensional. Not to mention that this design is really amazing.

Wang Zhaodi used her nails to hold a spring between the two pearls, and a click sound came again. The bead hairpin was divided into two again, and then she put down the two bead hairpin and knelt on the ground.

"Mingfu, after the demonstration of the folk women in the country, this Dongzhu is worth a lot. Although the pair is of different colors, it is worth hundreds of taels. There are no two identical bead hairpins in the entire Tang Dynasty, so this is Miss Zhong Yishan's head."

Wang Zhaodi's words were reasonable and well-founded. Zhou Ze couldn't help but nodded secretly and refuted the words of Zhong's parents. Those outside who listened to the trial of the case pointed at Zhong's parents.

"Pooh!"

"Snake heart!"

"I don't recognize my daughter, is this still a human being?"

"I'm afraid that my son-in-law will inherit the Zhong family's property in the future. Hey, rich people have a lot of thoughts."

“…”

Zhou Ze took a photo of the gavel again, and the messy lobby instantly became quiet.

"Do you two know that they are guilty?"

Zhang Shuxiang no longer dared to speak, and kept looking at his brother beside him. Zhang Shujing calmed down and bowed and said:

"Ming Mansion, this wet nurse has been buried for several months. Our Zhang family did bury the wet nurse that day. As for whether someone had moved a coffin during this period, it cannot be verified. This is a crime that is intended to be accused and the students cannot recognize it."

At this moment, a noise came from outside the lobby. The people who were watching the case were very tacitly aware and quickly made way for a path.

The leader of Lao Xu, followed by Xue Ping, and a group of bad people, escorting an old woman and a servant, and carrying a box behind him, which was the camphor wood box that was used to decorate clothes at ordinary homes.

Zhou Ze and Lao Xu looked at each other.

Old Xu nodded slightly and returned directly to Zhou Ze.

"The corpse and weapons are all brought back, these three people know the details."

In just a few words, Zhou Ze was energetic. Xue Ping had already put down the box with someone, and the old man and his servant were tied up with his hands and threw it on the ground.

"Mingfu, I went to the Zhang family and found a rolled knife in the dry well in the west courtyard, and the bones of an old woman. After this woman distinguished the dead man's clothes, wooden hairpins and shoes, the bones were the nurses of the Zhang family.

As for this servant, he is the insider. On July 25, they were the coffin they sorted out. The doll body sewn inside was made by the woman."

A gavel sounded, and the old man and the servant were trembling. The servant was not old and was frightened to tears. The snot was flowing down, but he couldn't use his hands to wipe it.

"Who are you two? Sign up!"

"The Zou family, a civilian woman, was sold to the Zhang family since childhood. She has been forty years and usually takes care of the cost of the back house."

"The grass-roots people are called Shengyuan. The Zhang family, who was five years old, is Erlang's book boy."

Zhou Ze nodded.

"Who is the woman in the dry well?"

Zou gritted her teeth and controlled her trembling body, and she didn't dare to look up.

"It's the Zhang family's wet nurse. She used to work as a kitchen helper in the kitchen. She has been in poor health in the past two years, so she did some sweeping. Since June, she has been sick and can't get out of bed."

"How did the wet nurse die?"

Zou stopped, the servant shivered aside, and Xue Ping pushed the servant's shoulder.

"To be honest, if you hide something, you are accomplice."

The servant raised his head and looked at Zhou Ze in panic and kept shaking his head.

"It wasn't me who killed me. The wet nurse was left with only one breath. It was... my Dalang who pinched the wet nurse into the dry well."

Zhang Shuxiang widened his eyes and shouted viciously:

"Nonsense, you are my book boy. You are following me all day long. When will you follow my elder brother? Why do you slander him? Could it be slandered?"

This is very technical.

The extended meaning is also very obvious. You are my husband's book boy. You follow me every day. If you kill someone, you will splash dirty water.

Besides, if the county government officials asked you to falsely accuse me, I have such a courage to sue the master.

Zhou Ze ignored him. After Zhang Shuxiang finished speaking, he quickly covered his face, afraid that someone would come up to him and looked at Wang Han and Chen Wenchi beside him in fear.

"Is Dalang Zhang Shujing?"

The servant nodded.

"When the wet nurse was thrown into the dry well, was it dead?"

"The grass-roots people didn't know, but they didn't call for help or struggle. After that, I went to see it and lay down at the bottom of the well without moving."

"The headless doll in Zou's coffin, did you do it? Who asked you to do it? Do you know that the wet nurse is dead?"

Zhang Shuxiang wanted to speak, but this time Wang Han didn't have to wait for Zhou Ze's order, and waved his hand and slapped him twice. Zhang Shuxiang was beaten so hard that he lay on the ground. The force was no less than Lao Xu's.

Zhou Ze glanced at it.

"I asked about the case, are you trying to get a higher crime?"

For a moment, the whole lobby became quiet. The kneeling was motionless, and the standing was trying to reduce the sense of presence. Then Zhou Ze waved his hand at the woman.

"Zou, please continue talking!"
