218 - Interrogation
"Young lady, why did you and your son bring that one named Xiaoying back?" When he returned to the Taishou Mansion, Chunxin finally couldn't help but ask. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Gongzi and the young lady went to the prison to interrogate the prisoners, she and Lin Wu couldn't follow, so they could only wait in the county mansion, but when they wanted to go back to the house, they suddenly found that there was still a person named Xiaoying behind them, what was the intention?
"Your son-in-law promised to let her come to the Taishou Mansion to be a maid. Zizhi said angrily.
Although she knew in her heart that this was the meaning of Lu County's order, and they refused again and again, it was not Gu Jingnian who finally agreed.
"Don't be angry, lady, it's just a maid, if you don't like it, I'll arrange her to go to my mother's side tomorrow." Gu Jingnian said indifferently.
"That's right, young lady. Lin Wu also followed and persuaded him.
"I'm not angry, if one day you take her as a concubine, that's when I should be angry!" Zizhi said.
When Lin Wu heard this, he smiled silently: "I'm afraid that time won't come! Childe is absolutely dedicated to the young lady, not to mention a Xiaoying, even if there are ten more Xiaoying, the son will not look at it!" Lin Wu said with a ticket.
Zizhi sneered, "Okay, okay, they all say I'm not angry." ”
"The young lady is not such an immeasurable person, we are worried about the one named Xiaoying, when she was in the county mansion, she frowned at our young master, and now she brings it back to the mansion, and I don't know what moth she will make. Chunxin said.
"Okay, Chunxin, you go and arrange a place for that Xiaoying to live first. Gu Jingnian said with a sigh.
Chunxin nodded a little reluctantly.
Following.
Xiao Liu, who was drunk yesterday, must have been a lot more sober after a day, so the next interrogation will naturally be carried out, in order to avoid this Xiao Liu from making mistakes like the previous prisoner, Gu Jingnian decided that he would personally participate in the interrogation.
Zizhi naturally followed closely without exception, and was famous: assisting in handling cases.
Xiao Liu's drunken night was basically spent in the interrogation room of the prison, and when he woke up, he was a little surprised how he was here, but before he was surprised, he was scolded by the big arrest and quickly split his head and face, and probably understood the meaning, thinking that it was because he was found out by the county magistrate because of his dereliction of duty, so he was punished to sleep in the prison.
It wasn't until Gu Jinglai came and asked him a few words that he suddenly understood what was going on.
"Food? subordinates...... The subordinates just brought them food as usual, and this meal also came from the kitchen of the county government, and I personally served it from the kitchen, so there was no chance to poison it!" Xiao Liu said.
"Then did you encounter anything else on the way to deliver the food?" asked Gu Jingnian.
Xiao Liu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No." ”
What's more, there are more than a dozen prisoners held here, and he has to make several trips in a row to bring all the food.
"Oh! That's right! When the subordinate went to get the last meal, he was a little urgent, so he put the food in the kitchen first, and then went up to a thatched house and came back to serve it, and when he came back, the cook in the kitchen happened to deliver food to the county magistrate, so there was no one in the kitchen at that time!" Xiao Liu suddenly remembered this incident and said.
"Who did you give the last meal?" asked Gu Jingnian.
Xiao Liu thought for a moment before saying, "The prisoner who was going to be arraigned at that time was locked in the last cell, so this last meal was given to him!"
"Then it should be right, this murderer must have seen this, so he took advantage of Xiao Liu's visit to the thatched house to poison this meal!" Lu Xian Ling said.
"But, who will this murderer be?" Azusa suddenly asked.
"Miss, can enter and exit freely in this county mansion, who else can it be besides the people in the mansion?" The subordinates think that they only need to check all the people in the mansion to get clues!"
Zizhi bowed his head: "It makes sense to catch a quick shot, but it doesn't rule out the suspicion of outsiders committing crimes, isn't it? After all, this county order is not an impregnable wall, and if it is a person with high martial arts, it is naturally not a problem to enter and exit." ”
was mentioned by Zizhi like this, and everyone suddenly fell into silence again.
If you have to count all the people outside the house now, then this clue basically means that it doesn't exist.
"The eldest lady's words are reasonable, but according to the opinions of her subordinates, it is better to check all the people in this house first and rule out suspicions. Da Catch said quickly.
Lu Xian Ling nodded when he heard this: "Yes, if we can find a suspicious person in this mansion, it will naturally save us a lot of trouble." "If you can't find it, then make another plan.
"Don't stop interrogating the remaining prisoners, and if someone is willing to confess automatically, it would be better. Gu Jingnian said.
Lu Xianling sighed slightly: "If it was before, maybe it would be more likely for them to confess, but now, when this kind of thing happens, who would dare to tell the truth?"
Isn't the death of the only person who said he wanted to confess be a warning to the rest of the people not to talk nonsense? Otherwise, the fate of the previous person will be their fate!
"Father-in-law, don't be discouraged, this is just the beginning, not the end. Gu Jingqing said with a smile.
Lu Xianling didn't know what Gu Jingnian could do, but after all, he was the eldest son of the Taishou family, he had read poetry and books since he was a child, and he grew up in the capital, so he definitely knew more than him, who was a halfway monk.
"Wang Zhu, do as you say, and ask all the people in this mansion, big and small. Gu Jingnian raised his eyes and looked at Da Yu and said.
was called the king to catch the big catch, and the big catch quickly hugged his fist and his head.
Soon, everyone from the entire prefectural government was summoned to the lobby of the prefectural office.
Lu County Linggao sat above the lobby, and below sat Zizhi and Gu Jingnian, although the county order mansion was small, there were fifty or sixty people up and down, and some even called their wives and children.
After careful questioning, most of the people ruled out suspicions, and in the end, only two kitchen cooks and a special kitchen delivery service were left.
One of the cooks, surnamed Zhao, said that she was a little unwell today, so she lay in the house and didn't go anywhere.
Another surnamed Yang said that because there were only two cooks in the kitchen of the county government, Chef Zhao was sick and absent, so no one gave her a hand, she was really busy, so she even had to deliver food.
And this Lao Zhang is not from the county government, he sells vegetables on the street, and delivers vegetables to the county government all the year round, when Xiao Liu left the kitchen to go to the thatched house, this Lao Zhang came once, came to deliver food to the kitchen, and when he saw that there was no one in the kitchen, he put the dishes aside, and then left.
