As soon as Liu Yingyi's words came out, the audience was silent.

Some people think that the county magistrate has thought too much, the prisoner has already been caught, and he confessed to the crime he committed, so why should he ask more?

Some people also think that it must be the county magistrate who has discovered something, so there are such doubts.

Shui Qingxiang stood at the bottom of the hall and quietly watched Liu Yingyi interrogate Meng Jiang, and actually had the same doubts in her heart.

Meng Jiang, as the culprit of the theft of the tribute and the destruction of the Lin family, even if he has a relationship with the Lin family, it is impossible to avenge the Lin family unusually, and looking at this Meng Jiang's body injury, and he has worked hard in the tofu shop all year round, how can he have the ability to kill those few martial arts companions one by one, there must be other reasons for this.

However, Meng Jiang, who was kneeling motionless in front of the hall, pursed his lips tightly and did not answer Liu Yingyi's question.

And Liu Yingyi seemed to have seen through him a long time ago, "Even if you don't say anything, you can't deny that it is absolutely impossible for you to commit so many murders when you are seriously injured." What's more, you are suffering from an incurable disease. ”

When Liu Yingyi said the words "incurable disease", Meng Jiang's face couldn't help but change, and the composure that he had tried to pretend just now suddenly turned invisible, and his two eyes looked at Liu Yingyi with horror and panic, but after a while, the expression on his face became calm again, as if he didn't care that Liu Yingyi had seen through himself.

When Shui Qingxiang heard Liu Yingyi's words, she was also shocked in her heart.

Even she didn't expect that Meng Jiang actually had an incurable disease.

"On the day you were arrested, I sent someone to investigate you, and found that you had to go to Fu Ji Pharmacy every month to buy medicine, and the medicine was very expensive. I have seen your prescription, all of which are medicinal herbs for tuberculosis, and all of them are tigers and wolves, which proves that you are terminally ill, and even if you take medicine every day, you will not live long, so you want to fulfill your wish before you die. ”

Meng Jiang did not refute Liu Yingyi's inference, which shows that Liu Yingyi's inference is not wrong.

The county magistrate sitting in the hall glanced at Meng Jiang, who was calmly dying, and then said: "You know your fate soon, the only thing you are worried about is that the widow of the Lin family and Huzi will be hunted down and killed by their companions back then, so you plan to strike first to get rid of future troubles." At this moment, you meet someone who is willing to help you, and you and that person plan these serial murders together, and of course the Lin family is involved, but there is someone else who can help you kill people. ”

"Hmph, this case is obviously committed by me alone, and it has nothing to do with others."

"I know you want to shield the Lin family and that person, but it's useless, the Lin family has already admitted to participating in the dismemberment. As for that person, I think you are the only one who has seen it, and in order to protect the Lin family, you didn't even tell her. But the gold in your house is missing. ”

"Seven pieces of gold, why are there only five in your room? If it weren't for me from Yulan County to bring over the pattern of the Qianmo glass lock back then, I would have almost been concealed by you. Although the five pieces of gold in your room are very similar to the Qianmo glass lock, they are not genuine after all, and I have verified this with experienced craftsmen, and your goldsmiths are all recently created. I think the real seven pieces of gold should be in that person's hands, you use the Qianmo glass lock as a return, and these cases planned with him, am I right? ”

Although Yoo Young-yi's last sentence was a question, it could already be seen from the expression on his face that he had confirmed his guess.

Shui Qingxiang couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard Liu Yingyi's words, when she first arrested Meng Jiang, she had some doubts that this thin old man could commit the crime independently, but she didn't expect Liu Yingyi to have the same suspicions as her, and she had already found evidence that Meng Jiang and the same party were based on these suspicions.

However, even if there was evidence, Meng Jiang was indifferent, and he chuckled: "My lord, you are right, I do have a fellow party, but I will not say anything about this person if I die." And even if I tell you who he is, you can't help him......"

Suddenly, Meng Jiang's face changed, revealing a hideous expression, and then he leaned forward and fell to the ground motionless.

The catcher next to him hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and then reported to Liu Yingyi in a panic: "My lord, he ...... He bit his tongue and killed himself! ”

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the hall, and some people even screamed in fright.

"Quick, find a doctor!" Liu Yingyi shouted, and then in order to stabilize the emotions of the onlookers, he slapped the shocked wood on the table heavily, "Retreat!" ”

In fact, people who dare to bite their tongues and commit suicide are generally people who are determined to die, and even if they call a doctor, I am afraid they will not be able to save them.

Liu Yingyi understands this very well in her heart.

When the doctor came, Meng Jiang had already swallowed his breath.

He was already terminally ill, and now he is doing such a move, and it is inevitable that he will die.

It's just a pity that until the end, he didn't reveal any news about the other person, which is a bit regrettable.

However, the serial murder case that made people panic in Dongzi County was finally solved, and the people in the town still had various rumors before, saying that it was a ghost killing people, and the night pot became a spirit killing, but from today, these terrifying cases can finally be brought to light.

The people of Dongzi County sighed from their hearts that there was a good county magistrate in their county, which not only made them no longer starve, but also dispelled those terrifying rumors and caught the real culprit.

However, Shui Qingxiang was a little unhappy in her heart.

"My lord, after the case is tried, how should the Lin mother and son deal with it?" Shui Qingxiang was still thinking about the follow-up, so after the first trial of the case, she came directly to Liu Yingyi's study.

"Although the Lin family is involved in these cases, he is not the main culprit, and the crime will not lead to death. As for Qiu Hu, he was just a seven-year-old child, and these things had nothing to do with him. ”

Shui Qingxiang felt relieved in her heart, but when she thought of Qiu Hu's child, she was born without a father, and now her mother was going to prison again, so she was afraid that her life would be even more difficult in the future.

"My lord is really wise and martial, and he actually judged that Meng Jiang still had accomplices from the drawings of the Qianmo glass lock that Yu Lanxian brought him, and he really decided the case like a god." As the saying goes, thousands of clothes don't wear sycophants, Shui Qingxiang still thinks that she can go to the county government office to catch fast in the future, so she blows a rainbow fart first.

Liu Yingyi bent her lips and smiled, although she knew that Shui Qingxiang was deliberately flattering herself, she didn't break it, and nodded slightly and said, "This case can be solved, and you also have your credit." At the beginning, you first found the suspicion when several deceased people came to Dongzi County in the same year, and then thought of the theft of tribute that year, and finally went to Yulan County to get the file. ”

"So...... My lord, do you think I can work in the yamen? Shui Qingxiang smiled sincerely, but in Liu Yingyi's eyes, she looked like a cunning little fox.

Liu Yingyi half-squinted, "There is no precedent for women to be on errands in this dynasty, but if I want to arrange one or two people to run errands by my side, it is still okay." But before I can do that, I need to think about it. ”

Shui Qingxiang was playing drums in her heart, what did this county magistrate mean? I said it could be arranged, but now I say I need to think about it, what about playing me?

Her face sank slightly.

Liu Yingyi noticed the subtle change in the expression on her face, and did not deliberately tease her: "Actually, I have something to do in private, it may be a case, or it may not, I want someone to go with me." I see that you have a clear mind, a flexible mind, and good luck, with you by your side, everything will be very bright. ”

Oh, so I'm a mascot? Shui Qingxiang complained in her heart.

"I wonder if you'd like to go?"

"Go, go, of course." Being able to accompany the county magistrate to do things, even if it is a mascot, is better than staying in the grocery store to sell night pots, Shui Qingxiang agreed with a smile.
