Chapter 183: Investigation of the case
There were guards at the door, but no one came to stop them, Qin Mo was followed by Xiao Tao, Nian'er and a group of people, and they just went in.
*
Entering and exiting from the gate, and passing through a small door, this is the side door to the backyard, the cobblestone paved road, the long skirt covers the shoes and can't step on the road, just a few zhang away, Qin Mo saw the so-called place of the incident - the pool, because Qinzhou is a small place after all, and the people here are not the yard in the end, but the mountains are stacked, stretching for thousands of miles, as soon as you enter the door, next to the big pond on the right, there are several people around, standing in a circle one after another.
On the outermost layer, there are clearly several errand officers wearing red uniforms.
It was not disturbing yet, Qin Mo looked around as he walked, and there were two main roads coming in from this gate, one side was facing the right, and the other was the one that Qin Mo was walking now.
But it is in the direction of the wing room, obviously the door just now is not facing the room, this road walked in, on one side is a neat and majestic green tile house, on the other side is a small garden, Qin Mo is not far from the garden, there are stone tables and square stools.
The pond is also next to it, and the place where people stand in a circle is on the left, which is the edge of the pool, and then look at the pool on the opposite side is a big willow tree, because there is enough water by the pool, so the artemisia grass is half a foot high, and people are now surrounding such a place.
"Sir, ma'am. This Qin family is here! β
There were two obviously strange expressions at the scene, a man wearing a brown bat-patterned robe, a bloated figure, a tall and dignified man, but at the moment he had a calm face and stood next to him without saying a word.
The other one is a middle-aged beauty, combing her hair and wearing the same brown cardigan satin gown, and at the moment she is crying with her sleeves and crying for the ground. Constantly wiping away tears.
Xiangxiang was caught in her hands by the two Zhu family's family members, and she couldn't stop crying.
"Sister-!"
Others didn't see Qin Mo, but it happened to be the first to see Xiangxiang on the other side, so they cried out aggrievedly first.
Xiangxiang probably has never been involved in this kind of thing, a big event, and a murder, even adults are terrified, let alone just children.
"Sister. Sister.! β
As soon as she saw Qin Mo, Xiangxiang struggled as if she had seen her relatives and wanted to come over.
But the entire collar was grabbed by the family and strangled by the neck. The neck seemed to be pinched, and the small body was about to lean over, wanting to ask Qin Mo for help.
But Qin Mo's entire face was pale.
Actually, this can be regarded as a lesson for this girl, tell her how unpredictable the world is, how unpredictable it is, just let her do it like that, in the end, this girl will cause greater disasters and suffer greater, this heel is not small for her, and it will be a lesson for life.
The most important thing now is to find a way to get people out.
"You're this girl's sister!"
Qin Mo's group of people walked closer, and the middle-aged man in the bat-patterned robe who was the leader walked out first.
"Master Zhu, the deceased was hit on the head with a hard sharp weapon and died"
Qin Mo looked down, and saw that the servants had just begun to check the clothes of the deceased, dividing the entire area of the dead scene, as if they had just arrived, and were seriously inspecting the corpse at the moment.
And some other family members, as well as some of the children who played the game that Nian'er said in her mouth, were all present, just four or five girls who were five or six years old, and about ten years old, at this moment, the deceased on the ground covered half of his body with a straw mat, and he was away from the position where the deceased's head was facing, a water-green skirt fluttering in the wind, and the decoration was somewhat conspicuous, but it was a girl who was about the same age as Xiangxiang, Qin Mo guessed, this is Li Hengtong.
That Master Zhu paused because of the officer's words, and looked down with complicated eyes.
Although in ancient times, women were not as good as children, in the end, they were their own daughters, and the eyes of men turning their heads were complicated.
"Oh, my poor girl, what kind of rush did you make this year, why did you fly such a catastrophe, and the murderer has to pay for his life-!"
As soon as the lady of the Zhu family heard this, she was already holding her handkerchief and crying and grabbing the ground.
"You're this girl's sister!"
At this moment, when he asked, Master Zhu's tone was still a little harder.
Qin Mo's face was expressionless, and the distance he was standing was not far. Now the man approached in two steps, and he was forced to meet him
"Yes!"
One is a word, the answer is not hard, but it is definitely resolute.
"Your sister killed my daughter, since you are also here, you have seen it with your own eyes, how to deal with this matter, what do you say-!"
"Girl!"
Nian'er stomped her feet in the back, and Xiao Tao also showed signs of not being able to stand in place.
Qin Mo just calmed down and stood in place.
"Master Zhu, since I'm here, of course I'm here to solve this matter!"
"Sister. Sister. Save me. Sister, I hurt. I didn't kill anyone, I didn't know! β
Not far away, there was Xiangxiang's cry, she wanted to break free more and more, but she was strangled by her neck and tightened more and more, it was the first time she encountered this situation, Xiangxiang's fear can be imagined.
Qin Mo glanced at the incense not far away, but there was a trace of pain in his eyes, but he was quickly suppressed by the indifferent look on his usual face.
"Then you're admitting to paying the priceβ!"
Qin Mo paused again when he heard this
"I said the problem I came to solve, but I didn't admit that my sister did it, such a big child, standing two girls about the same height, Master Zhu has never thought about it, since they are both about the same height, and their strength is not great, how can they have the ability to kill each other in an instant, and before my sister came here, she didn't know the lady in the house, and she only played for half an hour, What is the deep hatred between the two parties and my sister has to use a sharp weapon to deal such a heavy hand on your daughter, thirdly, you just said that I saw it with my own eyes,
I just said that I saw it with my own eyes, I saw it with my own eyes, and that's the point, I came here, and I saw with my own eyes that your daughter had suffered a catastrophe, but I didn't see my sister kill with my own eyes, and my girl had already made it clear to me on the way before, and she had been not far away at that time, and it was your niece who said that she saw it was my sister who killed someone, but my girl said that she was also at the scene at the time, but she had never seen my sister kill at all. So, we shouldn't just take one side of the story! β
"What do you mean, do you want to deny it now, are you going to sue me that my daughter was not killed by your sister, did you kill someone and don't want to admit it, I don't care what reason you find, your mouth is so eloquent, but my daughter is indeed dead-!"
The biggest grievance and resentment in the world is that one's relatives have been hurt, but the person who harmed others still shirks it in every possible way, unwilling to admit it and take responsibility for it.
This Master Zhu is also one of the wealthy merchants in this city, after decades of life, the anger that was suddenly provoked was more courageous than that of Mrs. Zhu, and the whole person became irritable
"Definitely!"
However, Qin Mo said in an indifferent tone, and he lightly suppressed the thin anger that sprayed down. The whole person slowly picked up the words again
"Actually, I came to reason with Master Zhu, Master Zhu lost his beloved daughter, his heart is sad, painful, and how can we not know the feeling of losing his loved ones, but no matter what happens, we must still be true, and we must trace back to the original story, such as today's events, everything in court-!" Qin Mo arched his hand to show his respect for the court, "Even if the county magistrate tries the case, there must be witnesses, physical evidence, and reasons, today's matter, I also said just now, Ling Qianjin and my foolish sister have never had contact before, and they don't even know each other, why would they deliberately kill her-!" β
"Even if it wasn't intentionally killed, what if it was killed by mistake, not to mention, the resentment between children has no reason, even if it's a small thing, it can cause things lightly, how can you know that it's not your sister who intentionally killed someone-!"
Qin Mo was silent again.
For a moment, instead, he bowed down and walked to a messenger...
In fact, she is also very concerned about the evidence in the hands of the official at this moment, she absolutely does not believe that her pure-hearted sister will kill someone by mistake, although Xiangxiang looks at people who usually act frizzily, but she is a timid person, how dare she do such a hurtful thing, not to mention, when that scene happened, Nian'er was watching from the side, hide and seek for such a short time, a few children were hiding everywhere in the vicinity, how could they kill a person after a fight so quickly.
Since it is hide and seek, everyone is naturally hiding in this vicinity, even if Xiangxiang has a quarrel with Miss Zhu Er, no one around will notice and dissuade it, and the time of occurrence will be the time to make a mistake, and this period of time can be completed by just the time of a game of hide and seek.
Time, logic, human witnesses, obviously do not correspond ...
She wanted to know what the official had mastered, and if there was evidence, would she be able to clear her sister's innocence.
"Brother Errand has found out-!"
The two errand officers had been looking at the corpse, and they had been busy just now, only to hear what this Master Zhu and this girl were arguing about. There's not much to be gained.
An errand officer who was close to Qin Mo checked the corpse left and right, and said in a stiff tone
"You can't see anything, the person was stoned to death, and the top priority is to find the murder weapon!"
When the messenger replied, Qin Mo glanced at the girl standing above her head by the way, it was Li Hengtong, and saw that her eyes were strangely wide open, and when she heard the messenger say the word 'murder weapon', her whole face seemed to be pale and bloodless from the beginning of standing there.
Qin Mo looked at her twice, just because, when Nian'er came back to report to her, she was the first to report Xiangxiang, and said that she saw Xiangxiang kill someone with her own eyes-
In fact, even if there was no such scene, Qin Mo would have finally drawn his attention to her.
She just wanted to figure out what the final truth was.
"Did you see Xiangxiang kill people with your own eyes-!"
The children all stood in a row, probably either the young lady from the few rooms in the Zhu Mansion or the concubine, or the young lady next door came over, a total of four or five people.
