Hu Xiaomei suddenly felt that such a seemingly simple case was also contemplative.

Wei Ziyu obviously thought of this, he looked at Zhou Chengqi expressionlessly, and said again: "Do you have any witnesses when you go back?" ”

Zhou Chengqi shook his head with a white face.

"If you don't have a witness, you can't prove that what you're saying is true. The officer asks you again, do you have any witnesses? Wei Ziyu looked solemn, staring at Zhou Chengqi with a solemn face, as if as long as he shook his head, he would be taken away immediately the next moment.

Zhou Chengqi's face was bloodless, his face was as white as paper, and he was trembling, how could he not understand what Wei Ziyu meant, but he was so confused that he really couldn't find a strong evidence witness, he kept shaking his head, and shouted in his mouth: "My lord, I was wronged, not me, my lord, it's really not my ......."

There are many people who kill people and rob money, and they die without repentance.

Wei Ziyu pursed his lips, the gloomy sky was dark and the clouds were fluttering, I don't know when it would rain, it seemed that he had to bring the person back to the yamen and then continue the interrogation, he had a certain idea, and shouted softly: "Come ...... someone"

Zhou Chengqi was so frightened that the whole person was paralyzed, and he kept shouting on the ground: "Adult, wronged, wronged, wronged......"

The two officials next to Wei Ziyu stepped forward to set him up, one left and one right, Zhou Chengqi's face was suddenly like ashes, how did the Qingtian lord, who was just and strict just now, suddenly become the king of Hades who asked for his life, I don't know where he got the strength, pushed away the officials on both sides, took two steps forward and knelt in front of Wei Ziyu's table, grabbed his feet, and kept saying: "My lord, wronged, my lord is wronged......"

The people inside and outside the courtyard who shouted in panic were all terrified. The crowd who was separated from the road to watch the excitement didn't know what was going on inside, and just listening to the sound made everyone look uneasy.

Fox Xiaomei couldn't bear to look at it. He kindly reminded Zhou Chengqi: "There are no strong witnesses when you go home, and those you meet on the way are counted." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Hu Xiaomei, Wei Ziyu's deep eyes stared at her uncomfortably, Wei Sanniang and Hu Dayou were even more startled, Wei Sanniang hurriedly walked over and grabbed Hu Xiaomei's hand, and said to Wei Ziyu with a dry smile: "Child, don't be sensible." His face was very ugly, and he was holding the fox's hand and it hurt, for fear that Wei Ziyu would order the next moment to arrest this person who disturbed the court.

It's not really a public court, though.

Wei Ziyu stared at Hu Xiaomei for a long time before she said slowly: "I don't think she looks like a child." ”

said that Wei Sanniang's heart was in her throat.

Behold. The next moment. Wei Ziyu waved his hand at the two officials who were about to take Zhou Chengqi away. Zhou Chengqi heard Hu Xiaomei's words, and at this time, he was trying his best to collect in his mind whether there were any witnesses that night.

But after going back and forth two or three times about the events of that night, he found that there really wasn't. couldn't help but sit on the ground and said with a desperate face: "No." It's really not me. ”

Wei Ziyu ignored him. Instead, he looked at the fox Xiaomei who was sitting on the threshold of the kitchen. Raise an eyebrow at her.

As if to say. He said no, what else do you have to do?

Hu Xiaomei looked depressed, what does this Lord Wei mean. pursed lips. Said: "Even if there is no witness, you always have to pass through many people's homes on the way home, don't you hear anything, if you can say it, then ask the family to come out to testify, if you are right, it can also be used as evidence!" ”

Wei Sanniang glared at Hu Xiaomei angrily, and almost covered her mouth with her hand.

This is death, how dare you raise the bar with Lord Wei?

Hu Xiaomei's words made Zhou Chengqi's eyes light up, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." ”

Hey, there really is!

"When I got home, my father and my mother hadn't slept yet, and the two of them were arguing in the house for some reason."

As soon as Hu Xiaomei's face fell, she heard Wei Ziyu say: "This doesn't count. ”

Zhou Chengqi thought about it again with a bitter face, and finally remembered one thing: "When I went home, it was about mid-hour, and Wang Changsheng's family should not have slept at that time. Because when passing outside his house, he heard the sound of Wang Changsheng coughing, and then the two of them didn't know what they were talking about in the house, Xiang seemed to cry, and then he heard Xiang knock on Wang Auntie's door, saying that Wang Changsheng was coughing up blood and was going to ask for a doctor, but Xiang walked outside the door and was called back by Wang Auntie, I wanted to go back and ask her if she wanted to help, but I heard the sound of closing the door, and then I went home. ”

Wang Changsheng's family and Zhou Chengqi's family are separated by two families, if what Zhou Chengqi said is the truth, then it is impossible for him to return to Lao Li Tou's house in such a short time, and then kill Lao Li Tou, naturally speaking, the suspicion will be lifted.

Wei Ziyu immediately invited Wang Changsheng and Xiang into the house, Wang Chang was seriously ill, the two couples never talked about it outside, and Xiang didn't want the people in the village to know, lest some people make irresponsible remarks and affect Wang Changsheng's recuperation.

Later, I went to Wang Changsheng's house and invited Mrs. Wang to come over to confirm that it was true that at that hour Wang Changsheng vomited blood, and the Xiang family was going to invite Wei Dahe to come over and take a look, Wang Changsheng coughed up blood not once or twice, Wang Changsheng and Mrs. Wang felt that inviting Wei Dahe was also in vain, so they still had to go to the town to see, and the two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law quarreled in the house about whether to invite Wei Dahe.

In this way, Zhou Chengqi is indeed not suspected of killing Lao Litou. In this way, the murderer of Lao Li Tou is someone from outside Hujia Village!

Eliminating the suspicion of being from Hujia Village, Wei Ziyu concentrated on looking elsewhere, and he went to Lao Litou's house again.

The dark clouds in the sky are drifting around, and the shadowy sunlight is fainting and disappearing, just like the ups and downs of human life, which are endlessly changing. The wind is about to rise and the trees don't stop, and it can't blow away the black clouds in the sky, and the gloomy sky always makes people feel stuffy, and they want to release a breath of turbidity in their hearts.

Cloudy days will always make people feel stuffy, and the people of Hujia Village not only have to welcome the changing sky, but also wait for the people of the government to find out the true face of the cunning murderer.

Zhou Chengqi and several people were taken to Hu Xiaomei's house for interrogation alone, which caused a lot of commotion, and Zhou Chengqi's desperate defense and shouting of grievances made everyone's hearts tightened.

Just when Zhou Chengqi was confirmed to have nothing to do with the murder of Lao Li Tou, there was a new breakthrough in the case.

Zhou Chengqi's mother, Mrs. Zhou, walked in tremblingly, followed by the reluctant old man Zhou. As soon as the old lady Zhou entered the courtyard, she knelt on the ground and begged Wei Ziyu to be angry: "...... The women's family is ignorant, and the adults are angry! ”

Wei Ziyu saw that this old woman was frightened, her whole body trembled, her face softened slightly, and the old woman Zhou: "Auntie, you have nothing to do with this case, there is no need to do this, please get up." ”

Old lady Zhou refused to get up, insisted on kneeling on the ground, and then said something shocking: "...... The old man originally deceived him, but he knew that he took it seriously, and pulled my old man to whisper for a while, asking him not to make noise everywhere, and at the end he also found twenty copper plates for my old man, and my old man was shallow-eyed, so he took the silver, and really didn't mention it to anyone else. Lao Li Tou has always been a lazy eater, and then the old man turned around and wiped his feet and asked him once, and he said that he had made a fortune, but he didn't say what it was...... In the past, we were timid, afraid of causing trouble, so we didn't say it, forgetting our adult's forgiveness, but this matter really has nothing to do with my youngest son. ”

It turned out that one day, Zhou Chengqi's father, Old Man Zhou, met Lao Li Tou in the bazaar, and when he saw that he was buying wine and meat, Old Man Zhou soured him a few words and laughed at him for running errands for others. People in Hujia Village who don't know that Lao Li Tou's family is in difficulty, how can he buy wine and meat.

Lao Li Tou saw that Old Man Zhou looked down on him, his neck stiffened, and he told him arrogantly: "What kind of errands, this is what I bought with my own money." ”

Old man Zhou didn't believe it, and looked suspicious: "How can you be an old bachelor with the money to buy these, don't bluff me, I think you borrowed someone's money to buy food." Look at your unproductive appearance, people who are dozens of years old don't even have a drink money. Borrowing all day long, you don't feel like you are in a panic! How many debts have you oweed that you haven't paid off, and you're embarrassed to eat wine and meat? ”

Lao Li's face turned red when he said it, and he glared and scolded: "You are an old immortal, can you control Lao Tzu eating wine and meat?" What to borrow, Lao Tzu will have good wine and meat for every meal in the future, and I really don't need to borrow it from anyone. ”

Seeing that he was serious, Old Man Zhou was really a little uncertain, looking at the wine and meat that Lao Li Tou was carrying, the roundworms in his stomach also came out, so he provoked him: "You bought this with your own money?" Don't lie to me, you have the ability to show me the money in your pocket. ”

Lao Li Tou is rich now, but he is afraid that others will not envy him, so he immediately pulled out a money bag from the waistband of his trousers, and the copper plate sounded, which sounded like a lot, Old Man Zhou smashed his tongue, Lao Li Tou was even more proud, slowly opened the money bag, poured a handful of copper plates out of his hand, checked it in his hand, and shouted at Old Man Zhou: "See, what Lao Tzu has now is money." "I can't say how proud I am.

A bag of copper plates, not to mention dozens of yuan, Old Man Zhou's eyes are straight, plus Lao Li Tou's money to buy wine and meat, I'm afraid it will cost dozens of Wen, and then look at Lao Li Tou's proud appearance, Old Man Zhou guessed that he must have more than this amount of money in his hand.

immediately changed his face, smiled and laughed with Lao Li, asking him to invite himself to have a drink. Lao Li Tou refused without thinking about it at the time, saying that he had something to do, and he didn't know if it was because Mrs. Zhou said something nice, or if he really made a fortune, and before leaving, he actually gave Old Man Zhou more than 20 copper plates, saying that he would let him buy wine by himself. But he told him not to speak about it.

Old man Zhou thought that he would go to Lao Li Tou's place to drink wine in the future, but he really didn't mention it to anyone, and then one day he was drunk and talked about wine in a daze, and was heard by Mrs. Zhou, and the next day Mrs. Zhou asked him, only then did I know that there was such a thing.

The old man Li Tou said that he made a fortune, but Old Man Zhou really didn't know what it was. Later, within a few days, Lao Li Tou died, and he was still murdered, and at that time, Old Man Zhou and Old Lady Zhou were startled, guessing whether it was related to the big business that Lao Li Tou said, so they didn't dare to squeak. To this day, Zhou Chengqi was called away by the people of the Yamen, and his miserable shouts of injustice were heard outside.

This matter explained by Mrs. Zhou can be described as a major breakthrough. (To be continued......)
