Chapter 389: The Dream of Pear Garden is Broken
In fact, if Zhou Changshi relied on the power of the royal palace and acted recklessly, Sun Shaozong would really be unable to do anything to him.
Therefore, after hearing him relax, Sun Shaozong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and smiled, "In fact, I was able to find the real culprit, and I have to thank Lord Zhou for his help."
"I?"
Zhou Changshi was stunned by what he said, and said in confusion: "I just arrived here and have not done anything, so how can I help Lord Sun?"
"Who said Mr. Zhou didn't do anything?"
Sun Shaozong pointed at his feet and said, "Didn't you just kick the real murderer to the ground with one kick?"
"What?!"
Zhou Changshi leaned to one side, staggered back a few steps, and looked at the actress in amazement. She was lying on the ground trembling, and she really didn't look like a ruthless murderer. He couldn't help but question, "Is Lord Sun just talking nonsense ? How could it be such a coincidence that I kicked the real murderer with just a random kick?"
"Master Zhou, don't be modest."
Sun Shaozong said seriously: "In fact, I didn't really suspect her at first, until she was kicked to the ground by Zhou Changshi..."
As he spoke, Sun Shaozong suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the woman's wrist, then slowly pressed her left hand, palm up, to the ground, explaining, "I suddenly realized that she had a strange reaction, and it was this reaction that gradually opened my eyes!"
As he spoke, the female actor's face was filled with fear at first, and then her facial features suddenly tightened, as if she felt something extremely painful. She struggled desperately with her left hand and broke free from Sun Shaozong's control.
"Yes, that's the reaction!"
Sun Shaozong stood up, stared at the woman and sneered, "You were kicked in the abdomen, but the back of your left hand only hit the ground lightly. If it were an ordinary person, the first reaction would naturally be to protect your abdomen, but you immediately raised your left hand high, and then thought of the pain in your abdomen."
"That is to say, for you, the pain caused by that slight knock is more powerful than Zhou Changshi's kick."
"This is really unreasonable!"
"So I carefully observed the back of your hand and found that it was just a little unusually red, probably from friction or scratching. Other than that, there were no signs of swelling, fractures, or trauma."
"In that case, where does your intense pain come from?"
"At that moment, a light bulb went off in my head, and I suddenly connected all the clues I had discovered before!"
"There were traces of someone covering his mouth inside the deceased's mouth, and there were also traces of intense friction on the wall behind him. However, the back of his head, which was pressed against the wall, was too clean."
"I have always wondered how and why these scratches on the wall were made."
" It wasn't until I matched the wound on the back of your hand with the scratch that I suddenly realized it!"
"You must have asked him to open the toilet door before you took the initiative to kiss Zhu Er and sealed his mouth with yours."
"Before committing the crime, you used your left hand to hold the back of Zhu Er's neck because you were worried that Zhu Er would break free from the entanglement of teeth. Therefore, when Zhu Er was stabbed in the heart by the sharp weapon and began to struggle desperately, it was the back of your left hand that was pressed against the wall!"
"After the paint on the wall was rubbed off, many tiny burrs were exposed. Under the intense struggle and friction, some of them pierced your flesh. It should be a natural inference, right?"
"And this is exactly the origin of your inexplicable pain!"
At this point, Sun Shaozong stared at the woman with burning eyes and asked, "I wonder if what I said is true or not?"
Before the female actor could respond, Jiang Yuhan was the first one who couldn't hold back anymore. He stepped forward, grabbed the female actor's left hand, and began to rub the back of her hand!
“Ah~!”
Before she could even exert any strength, the woman's facial features shifted in pain and she screamed, "Master, spare me! I... I did have a splinter on the back of my hand, but it was somewhere else... somewhere else!"
How could Jiang Yuhan believe it?
Not only did he not stop, but he even added some strength, with a grim smile on his delicate face: "Bitch! At this point, you still want to quibble? If it was really a thorn stuck somewhere else, why didn't you say it before Lord Sun pointed it out?!"
"It's unfair, it's unfair!"
The woman's hand had more than one wooden splinter on it. Her facial features twisted in pain from the heavy rubbing, but she still screamed in injustice, "Lord Sun didn't ask me just now, how could I know that this wooden splinter was related to Zhu Er's murder?!"
Although what she said was not entirely unreasonable, but at this point, how could Jiang Yuhan be willing to listen?
Just as she was about to suffer more, Zhou Changshi on the side suddenly sneered and said, "Master Jiang is so anxious, is he trying to force her to confess?"
Then he questioned Sun Shaozong: "Sir Sun, just because there are a few wooden thorns on the back of her hand, I'm afraid you can't convict her of the serious crime of murder, right?"
Sun Shaozong smiled slightly and said confidently, "If it is an ordinary splinter, it won't work - but the wooden boards in the toilet are all painted. If the splinter picked out from the back of her hand can be seen to be the same paint color and wood, wouldn't it be irrefutable evidence?!"
Jiang Yuhan was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly shouted, "Quick, go get some needles! I want to see if this slut dares to cry out for injustice in the face of irrefutable evidence!"
At the command, several actors immediately rushed to find their sewing kits.
Jiang Yuhan took out a sewing needle and was about to dig the thorn out of her flesh, but the actress's psychological defenses had already collapsed. She covered her face and said sadly, "He forced me to do it. He forced me to do it!"
"I... I just... I just wanted to play a 'leading role', that's all. Zhu Er clearly promised to recommend me to the troupe owner, but that bastard... that bastard cheated me of my body, but the bitch Jin Bao got the benefit instead!"
Having said this, she suddenly put her hand down, her bloodshot eyes searching back and forth among the crowd, gritting her teeth and saying, "If it were someone else, it would be fine, but everyone in the troupe knows that Jin Bao and I don't get along! Since he's playing tricks on me like this, you can't blame me for being cruel!"
As she spoke, her eyes fixed on a slim woman, and she said bitterly, "It's a pity that I killed the adulterer but couldn't kill you, my wife!"
The female actor named Jinbao felt her hair stand on end when she was stared at. She also noticed that the other people were looking at her with contempt, so she quickly said, "Jinfeng! Don't slander me. I have never had any contact with Zhu Er. How could it be possible... How could it be possible..."
"Bah!"
Jin Feng spat with disdain and said contemptuously: "I have even admitted to the murder, but you are still hiding it here. Do you really think I am stupid..."
"You may be mistaken."
Jiang Yuhan suddenly sighed and said, "Now that I think about it, Zhu Er did praise you in front of me in a roundabout way for your hard work and study recently, and your singing skills have improved a lot. But after observing you secretly for a long time, I still think Jin Bao is more suitable to play the concubine of the Ge family."
The resentment on Jin Feng's face suddenly froze. After a long while, she trembled and said, "So, he...he didn't lie to me?!"
Jiang Yuhan nodded silently.
Jin Feng's face changed several times, and suddenly she screamed, "No, I don't believe it! Zhu Er is your confidant. If he said something good for me, why would you still praise Jin Bao? He must have deceived me , he must have deceived me!"
"cough."
Seeing her hysterical look, Sun Shaozong cleared his throat and said unkindly: "Whether he deceived you or not, I don't know - but the paint peeled off in pieces, it is unlikely that the paint color will remain on the wood thorns."
Sun Shaozong spread his hands and said, "So if you insist that it was a splinter picked up from somewhere else, this case will be hard to solve."
“You! You! You!”
Upon hearing that, Jin Feng suddenly jumped up from the ground, pointed at Sun Shaozong and called him "you" three times, then suddenly rolled her eyes and fell down like a wooden stake.
