Tang Yueyue and the deputy general of the court stared at this person, they found out the problem, since the old man has already raised fish, then why did he go to buy fish, does this matter mean that the person was killed by him and then deliberately sent Hu Sanzhi over

The old man said slowly: "My lord, you are really right, this fish, it is indeed the old man I raised, this lotus root is also, the old man I am old, and I can't work anymore, it is not bad to raise some fish and shrimp, at least you can starve to death, do you say?"

The adjutant general couldn't help it, and then roared, "Bold old man, was the murder on August 11 last year killed by you?"

The old man was stunned, he couldn't understand why the other party said such a thing to himself. The deputy general continued to say: "Old man, don't you admit it, since you have already raised fish, then why do you still want to buy fish to eat, does this mean that you deliberately killed people and planted them to Hu San?"

Before the old man had time to explain, Song Qing opened his mouth at this moment, "Deputy General Chao, in the absence of absolute evidence, you'd better not talk nonsense about wronging the old man." ”

He said to the lieutenant general: "My lord, when is this time, why are you still speaking for this person, if he is not the murderer, then who is the murderer?"

The old man was not angry, but lifted his trouser leg to take a look, and everyone saw that he had only one leg and was a disabled person.

The deputy general is embarrassed at this moment, the old man is old and disabled at the same time, how can he kill people in this situation, it is obviously impossible.

Song Qing was also stunned, he had never heard anyone talk about it, but it was understandable, if he was a normal person, he was afraid that he would be able to work.

"A few adults, first of all, there were no fish in this pond when the murder happened last year, and this pond only started to be excavated this year, and it cost the old man a few taels of silver."

"Besides, the old man, I only have one leg, how can I kill a human being, and you don't judge the case like this."

Only then did the deputy general realize that he had said the wrong thing and caused a misunderstanding, and he couldn't say anything at the moment, so he could only apologize one by one.

Song Qing said embarrassedly: "The old man is really embarrassed, I let you see the joke just now, it was Song Mou's management subordinates who are unfavorable, and Song apologizes to you here."

The old man also laughed and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm open-minded, old man, but as soon as you mention this, the old man makes me feel uncomfortable, this Hu San too, why do you have to kill people on a good day"

"It's understandable that you say that you have deep hatred and hatred, but they have no grudges and no hatred, and there's nothing wrong with killing people and doing anything. I said, my lord, you shouldn't have come here for this case. ”

Song Qing nodded, "Old man, this case is really right for you, Song is really here for this case, but what Song wants to tell you is that the murderer in this case, Hu San, may not be the real murderer."

This time it was the old man's turn to be shocked, everyone had been cut down, and now he said that one was not a murderer, and he couldn't accept it.

At the same time, I also don't want to believe that the magistrate has come several times for this matter, and now it is unbelievable to say that if he is not a murderer, he is not a murderer.

"I said my lord, you shouldn't be wrong, although the old man doesn't want to believe that Hu San is the murderer, but this case has been decided, if he is not the murderer, then who is the murderer"

Song Qing didn't know how to explain it, so he simply made a long story short, anyway, there was no need to hide the matter.

"Old man, this is what Song meant, if you have any clues, you might as well tell Song directly, although the person is dead, Song wants to wash away his grievances for him.

The old man sighed, "My lord, all kinds of evidence are enough to show that Hu San is the murderer, and it is useless for you to say more now."

"But since you asked, my lord, how can I not help you, my lord, the little one actually has doubts, this deceased was salvaged from the water, the water is not deep, why did he drown?"

"Then there can only be two possibilities, one is that someone killed and dumped the body, and the other is that the murderer and the deceased had a fight in the water, I think the murderer will have some wounds on his body.

"But Hu Sanshen, there is no wound in the last one, it is enough to make people feel strange and the deceased also has wounds on his body, my lord, do you say it is strange"

Song Qing has ignored this point, or maybe the crime has been too long, and he can't find enough evidence now.

It can be seen that Qin Shui, the magistrate of the county at that time, did not tell himself about these problems, and there were too many suspicious things in this case.

"Old man, Song asked you, are you sure that what you said is true, and how did you know it?"

The old man sighed and said: "I have also heard from the mouth of the old man in this case, my lord, many of these people rushed to the scene of the crime, and the neck of the deceased was choked red, so it can be seen that he was beaten or beaten to death."

"It's just that I don't know how this case came to Hu San, my lord, if he is really wronged, I hope that my lord will give people a clean body, otherwise I'm afraid that even if he dies, he won't be able to rest in peace."

Song Qingen sighed, he also meant this, the matter has reached this point, it must be cracked.

"Old man, thank you for telling us this, Song still has things to do, so I won't stay at this moment, of course, if you have any new clues, you might as well pass on to Hu San's wife and ask her to tell us.

The old man nodded, he couldn't get up, he used crutches to do everything on weekdays, which was very inconvenient.

The group of people walked out of the village, and then walked on the way back, and he was very embarrassed to do what the lieutenant had just done.

"My lord, I want to say sorry to you, because my subordinates have disgraced you just now.

Song Qingdao: "What's the need to be sorry for the deputy general, you were so impulsive just now, you can see that you are a person with clear grievances, it's just a little careless, I said, you don't have to blame yourself."

"Ahh But my lord, I've embarrassed you, don't you blame me" Song Qing laughed, with helplessness, "I said the deputy general, you just asked a word, why do you need to apologize and then say that this matter is not a big deal, you don't need to apologize." ”

"That's the deputy general of the dynasty, I and the adults don't blame you, what do you do so much, besides, you didn't kill anyone, you didn't set fires, you just asked a word, adults won't be so stingy."

The lieutenant general felt much better, and they continued to walk on the way back to the barracks.

Tang Yueyue asked, "My lord, do you think that what this old man said is true, has he deceived us?"

Song Qing thought for a while, then his body suddenly stopped, turned around and said: "What can he deceive us, it's just that he said two suspicious points, and he can't be panicked."

"Besides, Miss Yueyue, don't you think someone would be willing to deliberately break his leg in order to deceive us?"

Tang Yueyue sighed, what Song Qing said was completely reasonable.

"There is also Miss Yueyue, and now there are two people in her mind, one of them is this groom, and the other is the husband of the deceased, Zhu Laosan, these two are the most suspicious.

"Zhu Laosan shouldn't be this groom, are you mistaken, how could Zhu Laosan kill his wife?"

Song Qing shook his head and said: "Miss Yueyue, you are wrong, although the groom is suspicious, it doesn't mean that this Zhu Laosan has nothing to do, let's go back to the barracks, it's dark now."

After walking for about half an hour, everyone finally arrived at their destination, and when they returned to the barracks, Vice General Yun immediately walked over.

"My lord, my subordinates have already prepared food, and I hope you will take it."

After walking for a whole afternoon, Song Qing was really hungry, so he came to the tent and began to eat.

"My lord, you have been there for a day, and I don't know if you have found the murderer of this case."

Song Qing shook his head, and then nodded again, not knowing what he meant.

"Evidence Song does already have, but it's not 100%, Vice General Yun, what evidence can you find on this day?"

Vice General Yun put down the dishes and chopsticks and said: "My lord, my subordinates really made a discovery today, that is, Qin Shui, the magistrate of this place, passed by this place this afternoon, and he seems to have gone to the scene of the crime."

"Go to the scene of the crime" Song Qing was stunned, why did he encounter something in the past, or to investigate this case

This Qin Shui also had some suspicions that the murderer was Hu San at the moment, and Song Qing didn't know.

"Vice General Yun, since this is the case, then you can tell the truth about the matter, tell me what is going on, and Song will analyze it one after another."

Vice General Yun nodded, "Lord Hui, this county magistrate led people to pass by here after noon today, there are about twenty officials, and he also asked his subordinates at that time. ”

"Then what did he ask you, did he ask you any important clues?"

"No, my lord, he asked me if I was an adult and your subordinates, and there was no next adult, did you say that this magistrate destroyed the scene?"

Song Qing shook his head, "That's not it, first of all, a year has passed since this case, no matter what clues have been left, he can't just destroy the scene." ”

"As for where to go, Song doesn't know, maybe it's to pay homage to the deceased or to comfort Hu San's wife, okay, this case is getting closer and closer to the truth now."

"In less than three days, Song will definitely be able to find out the real murderer, Miss Yueyue and the deputy general, tomorrow the two of you will immediately go to visit the surroundings of Zhu Laosan's house, and ask how their relationship between husband and wife is."

"Yes, my lord."

"As for Song, I'm going to take this path tomorrow, looking forward to continuing to find something by the pond."
