Chapter 2196

With a reprimand from the sheriff, their quarrel finally came to an end for the time being.

"Shut up!"

The sheriff is not a fool. Looking at them, he knows there must be something strange.

He thought it was a revenge murder, but Bai Jing's reaction was too normal. She didn't hide it at all. She not only admitted her quarrel with the dead, but also didn't have a trace of guilt.

According to his eyesight for many years, Bai Jing doesn't look like an experienced and confident villain.

Either she's innocent or she's prepared.

However, she is right in saying that no matter what case, conclusive evidence is needed.

Tell the left and right to go to the scene and search in Bai Jing's pants first.

The scene had been searched by his men before, so there was no new harvest, but they made a major discovery in Baijing's shop.

Looking at the things brought back by the servant, the sheriff frowned, and his eyes looked at her more fierce.

"I'll ask you for the last time. Did you kill anyone?"

Lin Mengya shook her head firmly.

"My Lord, I didn't lie. I really didn't kill people."

But the sheriff put those things in front of her one by one.

"Since you said you didn't kill people, where did these come from?"

She fixed her eyes and saw a blood coat and a kitchen knife with dried blood before meeting.

"This is..."

The sheriff stared into her eyes and said word by word, "this is the murder weapon that killed the dead. They were found in your shop with the blood clothes they were wearing at that time. What else can you say now?"

"It's impossible!"

She said in surprise: "not to mention that I didn't go out all night last night. Even if I went out to the guest house, the boss is a big man. I'm just a weak woman with no strength to bind chickens. How can I kill each other unharmed?"

Unexpectedly, her retort did not impress the sheriff.

"We found the Mongolian medicine in the last drink of the deceased, and this medicine was also found in your shop. At present, the evidence is conclusive. You'd better confess earlier to avoid the pain of skin and flesh."

At this moment, it seems that she can no longer escape the blame. The man secretly covered up his pride at the bottom of his eyes, covered his face and cried: "finally, the sky has eyes. Boss, you know under the spring, you can also smile at ease. The sheriff is fair and strict, and will give you justice!"

The wind changed again and again, and finally seemed to end in her failure.

Even the sheriff also decided that he must have done it. He was trying to put her down, but Lin Mengya opened her mouth calmly.

"Even if adults want me to plead guilty, they have to convince me. Can I be identified as the real murderer by these things? I don't think so."

In fact, when things come to this stage, if ordinary people have already been confused, where do you want to use any method to prove your innocence?

At this time, Lin Mengya already understood that someone sneaked into her shop last night, presumably hiding these things in her shop.

The purpose of killing and framing is to kill her.

And she is also very strange. It would be ridiculous if she was hated only for those meager interests.

Between lightning and flint, she decided what to do next.

Why don't she just play it by ear.

"Sheriff, although the evidence is against me, I have a word to remind you."

The sheriff was good. Instead of forcibly detaining her, he asked her to say.

"Whether it's these things or the so-called process of my murder, it's all made up by this guy. When I had a conflict with the spice boss, there were a lot of people watching. If you want to know the specific content, you can ask everyone. If you know the cause and effect, you'll know that I was never the one who killed."

After she gave the guy a cold look, Suddenly he said fiercely, "since you vowed that I killed people, do you dare to swear with the gods in the temple that if you lie, even if there is only one and a half stars, you will have a rotten stomach and die in pain, and your family, friends and future generations will die hard. This is the holy city. God will hear it. Dare you?"

The man suddenly lost his mind.

At this moment, he remembered that this was the holy city, but the nearest place to God.

Lin Mengya had expected that he was guilty and would never dare to do so, so she pressed step by step.

"But I dare!"

She put her right hand in the position of her heart and said loudly in the direction of the holy mountain: "I swear with my life and blood. If I really kill the boss, let me harden the poisonous oath I said before! Now it's your turn."

This is the difference between the holy city and other places. No one here can lie in front of the gods. If she dares to swear in front of the gods, all people here must unconditionally believe what she said is true.

In fact, where there will be any scourge, it is just that people who have done bad things will feel uneasy. This is also a psychological hint. Once he has done something against the oath, he will feel that those things that are not related to the oath are related to the oath.

That's why there is such a tradition in the holy city.

For those who are really heinous and have no repentance at all, this oath is a joke, but the man in front of us doesn't belong to such a cruel man.

His eyes turned wildly and his whole body shrank into a ball, just like his arrogant appearance before.

Lin Mengya knew he couldn't stand it, Then he sneered: "Yes, I understand that everyone exaggerates more or less when talking. It's difficult for you to make such an oath. Let's change it. Just say that you haven't done anything wrong to your boss. As his partner, you are so loyal and want to find out the murderer for him after his death. It doesn't seem difficult to make such an oath ？”

She was aggressive, and the man was pushed to the extreme by him.

His neck turned red and said, "well, as you said, if I do something sorry for my boss, let me swear to die!"

It's just a little more bluff than her.

Lin Mengya sneered at him, turned to the sheriff and said, "since both of us have sworn to the gods, who is true or false, please ask the sheriff to make a ruling."

As a result, the case was deadlocked again.

And because both sides swore to the gods that, according to convention, what they said must be determined to be true, the sheriff had to be cautious.

"Well, since you all think what you say is true, it's up to me to find out. But the one who lies among you adds a crime of blasphemy to the crime of murder."

His face was cold and solemn, and his eyes looked more serious and solemn.

"The God will not spare anyone who tries to muddle through under his protection, so the person who lies will certainly answer his oath."

The man's body shook hard.

Now he wanted to bite off his tongue and regretted why he accepted the man's solicitation for a moment.

At this time, he didn't have time to be curious. It was clear that only the aristocratic family disciples who often went in and out of the holy city or knew everything about the holy city would know the rules. Bai Jing, who claimed to be here for the first time, would know so well.

The sheriff took both of them back to their previous prison and gambled in the name of God. He and his men overturned all previous conclusions and decided to start from scratch.

When she returned to the cell again, she was not nervous at all, but the jailer brother who had a good relationship with her seemed very surprised.

"Big sister, didn't you say you were wronged? Why did you come back?"

She smiled and said, "it's all right. I'll go out soon. I'll bother you these days."

Brother gaoler's heart is very tangled. On the one hand, he is happy to have a conversation with him every day; On the other hand, he felt that the little girl who looked weak and poor had suffered here.

While there was no one around, he squatted down and quietly said to her, "big sister, why don't you tell me your family's address and I'll send you a message and let them find a way to get you out."

She narrowed her eyes, smiled and shook her head.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I didn't bring anyone except a few guys. Besides, I believe the sheriff will enforce the law impartially and the truth will come out soon."

The jailer shook his head regretfully, "Alas, you can't stand a little girl here. Why don't you tell me your home address and I'll send you a letter home."

Hearing the speech, she showed a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"My home is far away from here. It's a small place called Baijiazhuang in a small fief in the southwest. Even if I write a letter, no one can help me. If they wait until they arrive, the sheriff will have found out the truth and let me out. Besides, I follow the caravan to the South and the north. It's nothing."

Hearing what she said, brother jailer could only sigh again and again.

"You're a little girl. It's not easy to go out. Wait for me to get you another quilt."

She thanked the jailer at once, and the man was locked in the door.

She narrowed her eyes and sneered.

He will die if he does more injustice. Even his psychological torture these days is enough for him to eat a pot.

She lived in the prison at ease. To tell the truth, although the conditions here were very general, at least they were not like prisons in other places. They were damp and had a lingering stench.
