Chapter 7: Antique Shops (7)

There are already a sea of people outside the yamen, there are few major cases in Nanle County, and Liu Peizhen is often the object of other people's after-dinner conversations, but now that she is dead, three suspects have been arrested one after another, and the case is confusing, so many people have come to take a look.

The officials placed a repulsor at the door to stop the crowd, and those who did not enter the second gate only stood outside, trying to hear something.

When Mingyue arrived at the yamen, she had already finished eating the bread, entered the second gate and stood outside the public hall, and was summoned to the front by Lord Qin as soon as she showed her face. In that place, Ge can be seen clearly, and no one is crowded, and the location is quite good.

When Ge Cheng was escorted up, he shouted injustice, and he was already crying, and his voice was sharp, and the word injustice was sharp when he heard it. Lord Qin knocked on the waking wood before he calmed the person. Ge Cheng shuddered and closed his voice, and at the end he quickly spit out the word "wronged", so he was silent.

"Who's in the hall?"

"Caomin Nanle County, Gejia Village, Ge send."

"Where were you last night?"

"The grass people closed as soon as it was dark last night, and they made an appointment with three or five friends to drink and eat food together, and they didn't wake up until the early hours of the morning, and my friends can testify."

Lord Qin only thought that he lived alone and had no witnesses, but he didn't expect that he had a friend last night, and his heart sank, but he was afraid that this person was not a murderer. The more people are interrogated about the case, the more likely it is that the murderer will slip away, and it is also possible to say that he is not good at handling cases, and the word will reach the ears of the people above, and the political achievements will be dirty.

He regretted it a little in his heart, he should have convicted Wu Chip in the first place, and he was a hundred, so why suffer from this toss.

The friends that Ge sent were all in the city, and the officials quickly brought them in.

Lord Qin glanced at the five kneeling people and asked, "Did you drink with Ge Cheng last night?" ”

Several people looked at each other, and their eyes gestured to one person, and that person replied on his behalf, "Lord Hui, we drank with Ge Xiang last night." ”

"Let's talk about it."

"Yesterday during the Lantern Festival, I went to Ge Song's shop to drink, and he said that he would not go back tonight, so it would be better to make an appointment to drink and eat food together, and let me find someone. I went to find Ah Wu and the three of them, and arrived at the wine fairy shop at the time. Ge sent the door closed, and ate and drank until midnight, and was drunk. We slept on his bunks. ”

Ge sent this to be reassured, someone has a testimony, can Lord Qin still convict himself?

When Lord Qin heard this, he also felt that Ge Song's suspicion was gone, and he was about to conclude his speech, when he heard Su Yunkai speak, "When you slept on the floor in the wine fairy shop, where was Ge Song?" ”

Lord Qin instantly realized this clue and repeated it loudly.

The man said, "Ge said he had a headache, so he went back to his room and slept by himself." We know that his room is small, and he can only sleep alone. We were going to drink a little more and go back, but who wanted to talk about it, and when we got drunk, we slept on the floor in the shop. ”

"When did he go back to sleep?"

"It's all time."

The corners of Su Yunkai's lips pursed slightly, "That is to say, after the time of the child, Ge Cheng was alone in the room, and until the morning, you didn't know what he was doing?" ”

"I don't know."

Ge Cheng suddenly knew what he meant, and his originally leisurely expression suddenly disappeared, "Where did you come from!" Lord Qin, the grass people have been staying in the room since they got drunk, and I got up in the morning to see them off. ”

Lord Qin sneered, "Then why did you go back to Gejia Village early this morning?" As far as this official knows, you only go home once in three or four months, and this time the New Year has just passed, why did you go back again? ”

Ge Cheng paused for a moment before he said, "There are many people enjoying the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and it is lively, so I will stay and do business." I wanted to go home the next day and went back......"

The confidence is insufficient, and the voice of the words is quiet. Su Yunkai saw that there was a woman in the hall with fierce eyes, staring at Ge Song, as if she was going to eat him alive. Looking at her expression carefully, I guessed that she might be Ge Cheng's wife, Lu Shi.

As soon as the thought came to mind, I saw the woman say sharply, "Ge send! Where the hell did you go last night! ”

Ge Cheng trembled, looked back at her tremblingly, met his eyes, and shuddered again, "Lady......"

Lu Shi gritted his teeth and gurgled, "You said!" Do you have a leg with Yoo Peizhen?! ”

Ge sent unspeakably miserable, with coptis in his throat, full of bitterness, and he was really speechless.

Lord Qin coughed lightly, "No noise is allowed in the court." Ge send, this official will give you another chance, did you go to Baibaozhen Shop last night? ”

"Nope!" Ge sent it categorically and directly.

"My lord......" Two of the five people spoke almost at the same time, their voices were faint, and when everyone's eyes fell on them, they hesitated for a moment before they said, "Last night, Li Si and I were thirsty, and because the rain outside was too loud, the husband struck the gong and woke up, probably when it was ugly." There was no water in the shop, so we went to the kitchen to find it. Because the shop is small, we have to pass through Ge Song's room to go to the kitchen, who wants us to pass by there, but find that the door is open, and there is no one inside. ”

Ge sent his face like ashes, "You, don't spew blood. Where am I sorry for you on weekdays? Yes? Why frame me, it's murder, I'll be beheaded! ”

The two of them didn't dare to look at him, "But if we lie, we will have a troubled conscience for the rest of our lives." ”

Ge Cheng almost fainted, and Lu Shi almost fainted. She was angry with her husband, but she didn't want him to die. But the crime of murder is certain, and he will definitely die. Immediately lost his anger, collapsed on the ground and cried. This crying Ge sent even more anxious, "Lady, what are you crying about, I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't kill." He was anxious to defend himself, and faced Lord Qin again, "The grass people lied, after returning to the room last night, they did go to Baibaozhen, and they also saw Liu Peizhen, and they left when they were almost ugly, but the grass people didn't kill her." When I got up in the morning and heard that she was dead, I was afraid that I would find out about myself, so I went back to the village to avoid the limelight. ”

"Then the official asked you just now, why did you say you were in the house?"

"The grass people are sure that there are witnesses, so why bother to say it and cause trouble."

As soon as the testimony is reversed, it arouses everyone's suspicion even more. Seeing their suspicious faces, Ge Cheng cried, "My lord believes me, I didn't kill anyone, how could I kill Liu Peizhen." After we did a good deed, I stayed for a while and left, and she came out with an umbrella to see me off, and she was fine at that time. ”

The crying was so loud that even the people outside the gate could hear it. After Qin Fang watched the juggling, he squeezed into the crowd and squeezed the fox fur crookedly, "Ouch, a man can cry so loudly, and he is not ashamed." ”

He glanced back and forth at the crowd a few times, but didn't see Su Yunkai and the girl, thinking that it was inside, struggling to squeeze out the crowd and bypass the horse gun to enter, before he stepped on the steps, he was stopped by a long knife, and when he looked up, he was a white-faced catcher, although he was fierce and vicious, but because his face was quite handsome, he lost a little momentum, "This catcher, my brother-in-law is also inside, let me go in and listen to the case." ”

The white water man was on the stone steps, two heads taller than him, and his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, which made him look very unfriendly, "This excuse is fresh." ”

"It's true."

Qin Fang wanted to bypass him, but the knife was three inches out of the sheath, and the cold light reflected in his eyes, forcing him to retract his steps. He spun around his face, and with a sudden understanding, he felt a piece of silver from his sleeve and grabbed his hand to the fortress. Who thought that before he could stuff it, he saw his face change and slapped him.

The poor little marquis couldn't guard against it, and as soon as he slapped this slap, the person was slapped to the ground and fainted.

Bai Shui frowned and raised his foot to push him, "Hey? ”

The people on the ground didn't react.

Bai Shui suddenly turned pale, squatted to probe his snort, the person was still alive, but he didn't wake up after pinching twice. He waved his hand and summoned two servants, "Carry him in and find a flat place to rest." ”

The official was ordered, and he was carried in by one left and one right.

After passing the second door, Qin Fang opened half of his eyes and looked left and right, but he didn't see the stereotypical white-faced head catcher, and immediately stood up and let go. The two officials were stunned for a moment, and their hands were already stuffed with silver.

"Filial piety to the two eldest brothers, I just want to go in and listen, there is no malice."

The two looked at each other, put the silver in their pockets, and said, "Then don't be seen by the white catcher, you hide a little inside, don't make a noise." ”

"Understood." Qin Fang walked quickly, ran outside the public hall, and as soon as he found Su Yunkai's figure, he heard a sound of "retreat", and then everyone dispersed like smoke, and a large area was vacant around him.

He tried his best to come in just now, and he was slapped by a white-faced catcher, what the hell is it for!

Ge Cheng could not produce new evidence to prove that he did not kill anyone, and there was no evidence to prove that he was not the murderer, so he was temporarily detained and re-examined.

Mingyue is half a puppet, and she cares more about what Liu Peizhen struggled with before she died. When the onlookers dispersed and Lord Qin left, she still thought about it for a while, "Liu Peizhen's fingernails were broken in three, and there was some skin blood left in the cracks of the rest of her fingernails. But Nage had just undressed, but there was no scar. ”

Mingyue saw that Su Yunkai didn't move for a while, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Su Yunkai looked at her, "I want to prove that Ge Cheng is indeed a murderer, but there are still doubts." You are talking about one of them, and according to Wu Chip, the corresponding person in the time last night should be like this - Zi Shi is here, Ge is here when he is ugly, and he will leave when he is close to Yin, and the time when Liu Peizhen died is Yin Shi. In this way, it seems that the time coincides, but when the ugly time arrives, Wu Chip said that it was calm for a while. Assuming that the person who killed Liu Peizhen was Ge Song, then why did he suddenly explode after being quiet for so long, and even made Ge Song impulsive enough to kill Liu Peizhen? ”

"yes...... If there was a quarrel, then Wu Chip should have heard it. Mingyue felt a little cold in her heart, "Do you suspect that after Ge sent him away, someone came again?" She stuck out her tongue and her cheeks turned crimson, "The Liu clan is really powerful." ”

Seeing so many mistresses in one night, she felt tired when she thought about it.

Su Yunkai only suspected that if he wanted to kill a person, sometimes he would do this kind of thing even if he didn't have full motives. Only when there is evidence to prove Ge Cheng's innocence can the third person's existence be completely proven.

"Brother-in-law."

Qin Fang ran to the two of them, and was about to complain about the fast catching of the wood just now, but unexpectedly, Bai Shui outside saw that the crowd had dispersed, and remembered the boy, so he came in to take a look. I didn't know that I didn't see a sick man when I came in, but I saw a person who was as energetic as a monkey, he suddenly felt deceived, and he came over violently, and grabbed his collar, "Bastard thing!" ”
