Chapter Seventy-Four: Post-Mortem

Li Yi and the others entered the city and found an inn to stay.

On the second day,

Everyone began to shop and eat in Philadelphia.

"This hairpin is good, come 5." The county lord and others chattered in front of a jewelry stall, and Li Yi said casually.

Li Er then paid the five women.

A dozen people walked down the street together,

It's still very ostentatious,

Especially when everyone is eating snacks and chatting with snacks in their hands.

Just when the group was about to go to the restaurant,

There were a lot of people hurrying in one direction,

"Li Er, go and ask what's going on?"

"Master Hou, the county lord, it's the county government that is opening the government for interrogation." Li Er found someone and asked.

"Oh, go check it out!" Li Yi saw Shengtang in the TV series, and he had to take a look at it this time.

"County lord, don't go, take a rest in the restaurant."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he took Gao Ren and the others to leave and rushed in the direction of the county government.

Soon, Li Yi saw the Philadelphia County Ya,

There was a big drum at the door,

Li Yi and the others were stopped outside the door and could only watch the ascension process at the door.

"Childe, do you want to declare your identity?" Chen Pi asked.

Li Yi replied in a low voice: "Low-key, don't do much, Jinyi doesn't know how to walk at night." ”

Chen Pi: "Yes, Childe. ”

Li Yi saw an official sitting in the center of the lobby,

There is also a plaque hanging above the officials' heads.

There were also more than 10 officials on both sides, holding killing sticks in their hands.

Then Li Yi heard "Ascend to the hall!" from inside! ”

And then a man was put out,

Obviously beaten up,

There was another person who came out, a little older,

Gorgeously dressed, obviously a wealthy family.

Li Yi heard the chattering discussions of the people around him,

only to understand that the person who was beaten was the defendant,

It was the plaintiff who was richly dressed.

The plaintiff sued the defendant for setting fire to his daughter.

Li Yi heard "Defendant Wu Yong, can you plead guilty?" ”

The defendant shouted, "My lord, the villain is wronged."

The villain is a son-in-law, how can he kill my wife,

Isn't it good for the villain? ”

"Wu Yong, you are still quibbling, someone saw you in the kitchen with a fire fold that day. Please, my lord, let me be the master of the Wang family. The plaintiff, Mr. Wang, said.

"Witness!"

Li Yi saw another person coming out of the back hall,

looks polite and polite, quite temperamental.

"The grass people are victorious, and they meet your lord."

"Wang Sheng, did you see Wu Yong preparing fire folds in the kitchen that day?"

"Yes, my lord, the villain saw it with his own eyes."

"My lord, I am wronged. On that day, my wife, Wang, instructed me to go to the kitchen to prepare porridge for her personally, so the little man used the fire in the kitchen to hope that the adults would see it. Wu Yong said.

"Nonsense, if my daughter wants to drink porridge, she can find someone to make it, how can she let you go to the kitchen." Master Wang then retorted angrily at Wu Yong.

"My lord, it's clear that Wu Yong wants to kill my daughter, and then get a share of the family property to help his family." Master Wang then said to Lord Han.

"Master Wang, I help my family?

Don't you know what kind of life I'm spending in your house?

He lived in a firewood house, did more work than his subordinates, and ate less than others.

I am a son-in-law, so I have no complaints, and I can accept whatever your Wang family does to me.

But I didn't kill my wife. Wu Yong said loudly.

"Silence!" Lord Han slammed the shocked wood on the table.

"Wang Sheng, this official will ask you if you saw Wu Yong in the kitchen with a fire fold in the kitchen on the day of the crime, did you go to the room where the crime occurred." Lord Han asked.

Back to the adult, the villain saw Wu Yong in the kitchen that day and looked panicked, and the villain left without thinking too much. Then I saw that Miss Wang's room was on fire. Wang Sheng said categorically.

Lord Han: "Wu Yong, what else do you have to say?" ”

Wu Yong: "Adult, the villain is wronged." That day in the kitchen,

After the villain boiled the porridge, he entered his wife Wang's room,

However, the fire in the room occurred two hours after the villain left. ”

Lord Han: "Is there a witness?" ”

Wu Yong: "My lord, there were two subordinates who were cleaning in the yard at that time, and they could testify for the villain." ”

Lord Han: "Witness! ”

"The villain meets the adult."

"On the day of the crime, you two could see Wu Yong leaving your young lady's room?" Lord Han asked.

"Back to my lord, did the villain see my uncle Wu Yong leave from the young lady's room? But the villain saw that the uncle looked panicked and entered the young lady's room with a fire fold and a bowl of porridge. One of the men said.

Master Han: "Can you see that?" Wu Yong entered the room with a fire fold? ”

"Back to the adult, the villain understands it, there is no lie!"

"You are talking nonsense, I only entered the room with a bowl of porridge that day, how could I have carried a fire fold?" Wu Yong said loudly.

"You two, the official asked you, when did Wu Yong leave your young lady's room?"

"The villain heard that in the young lady's room, the uncle and the young lady had a quarrel, and then about 1 hour after the aunt Wu Yong left the young lady's room, and soon the young lady's room caught fire." One of the subordinates replied.

"My lord, they are wronged, they tell lies,

Their royal family colluded and was wronged. Wu Yong shouted loudly.

"Wu Yong, human evidence, physical evidence, do you still want to quibble?

Come on, hit 10 big boards first. Lord Han threw the token in his hand to the ground.

Wu Yong was pressed on a stool by two officials,

Crackling beating.

Li Yi said that it hurts to look at it, because every stick carries blood.

Wu Yong: "My lord, Wang Sheng and my wife have been having an adulterous relationship for a long time, and I found out a few days ago, so they want to kill people, my lord." The villain is wronged. ”

"Shut up, Wu Yong. My Wang family is not thin on you, for you to eat, for you to drink, the little girl has been killed by you, why do you still pour dirty water on the little girl? Master Wang shouted angrily.

Li Yi heard and saw this, and he also had a rough idea of the case in his heart, based on the fact that I watched more than 700 episodes of Conan, more than 30 episodes of Di Renjie and several episodes of the plot of Lord Bao solving the case, Li Yi felt that there must be a hidden story in this case.

So Li Yi planned to go in and ask in person,

In the spirit of not wronging a good person, nor letting a bad person go!

"What for? Is the county government office for you to be able to come in? Li Yi was stopped and pushed.

"Low-key, brocade night walking." Li Yi exhaled,

stopped Gao Ren, Chen Pi and others.

"This brother, I think there may be something hidden in this case,

Lord Han should be careful again. As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, the official said: "Who is a brother to Diao people like you, and you have the final say if you have a secret?" Are you in league with that son-in-law? Get out of here, or you'll be in jail for a taste. ”

"I'll go, I'm grumpy. Gao Ren, kick him for me. Li Yi kicked the official to the ground, and then Gao Ren and the others kicked each other, and the official fainted.

Hua Jiao: "Childe, what about the night walk in brocade clothes and keep a low profile?" ”

The noise and noise outside the hall alarmed Lord Han in the inner hall.

"Who's making a fuss outside?" Master Han said loudly.

Li Yi and others were surrounded by a group of officials and entered the county office.

"Who are you? What a crime to dare to disturb the court! Lord Han said sternly.

"Lord Han, it was the official outside who spoke disrespectfully, and my person accidentally touched him, so he lay down and planned to touch the porcelain!" Li Yi shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said.

Lord Han: "Be bold and strong!" Someone will take it for me. ”

"Wait!" Li Yi stopped Gao Ren and the others who were about to make a move.

"I am the county guard of Zhongzhou City, Hou Li Yi of Zhongzhou. This is my token. Li Yi threw the token to Lord Han.

Master Han looked at the master beside him for a while,

"Oh, why did Master Hou come to my Philadelphia.

The lower official did not go to greet him, and asked the Hou Ye to forgive him for the rudeness. Master Han walked down the court, came to Li Yi's side, and said.

"Lord Han, I am also going to Zhongzhou City to take up my post, passing through Philadelphia, meeting Lord Han to try the case, taking a look at the case, thinking of putting forward a little bit of my own insight, did I not disturb Lord Han?" Li Yi said with a smile.

"No, no, Master Hou, please take a seat." Lord Han made a gesture of please to Li Yi.

"No need, Lord Han. I'll sit on the sidelines and you can go ahead and hear the case. Li Yi replied.

Lord Han returned to the court,

"Wu Yong, can you plead guilty?"

Wu Yong: "My lord, the villain was wronged, but the villain didn't kill my wife." ”

Lord Han: "I still don't admit guilt in front of human and physical evidence, and I will continue to hit 20 boards." ”

"Wait! Lord Han always uses torture, which will make people think that this person has been tortured. Lord Han, how about I ask a few words? Li Yi stopped Lord Han, who was going to continue the torture.

Lord Han: "Master Hou, please." ”

Li Yi turned around and asked, "Wu Yong, is it true that someone heard you arguing with your wife in the room that day?" ”

Wu Yong: "Return, Master Hou, it's true." ”

"Can you tell us about your quarrel?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, it was my wife Wang who threatened me with my family, and if I denounced her adultery with Wang Sheng, he would have my sister and old mother arrested. I got angry and got into an argument with her. But I didn't kill her, Master Hou. Wu Yong said slowly.

"Oh? Do I have reason to infer that because your wife threatened you with your family and you killed her with a grudge? Li Yi said solemnly.

"Hou Ye is wise, Hou Ye is wise, this Wu Yong must have killed my daughter with a grudge." As soon as Master Wang heard Li Yi ask like this, he said in passing.

Li Yi glared at Master Wang, who was so frightened that he didn't dare to continue.

"Master Wang, is your daughter's body still there?" Li Yi asked at Master Wang.

"Return, Master Hou. Yesterday, the little girl was buried. Master Wang replied.

"Lord Han, the case has not been investigated yet, and the person has been buried?" Li Yi said to Lord Han.

Lord Han was also so frightened that he sweated.

"Wang Sheng, let me ask you, did you say that day that you saw Wu Yong in the kitchen with a fire fold, and then saw Wu Yong go to Wang's room with your own eyes?" Li Yi asked.

"Back to Lord Hou, the villain didn't see Wu Yong enter Wang's room with his own eyes." Wang Sheng replied.

"Oh, so you're guessing?"

"Let me ask you two again, you two said that they saw Wu Yong enter Wang's room with a bowl of porridge and a fire fold?"

"Yes, Master Hou. I saw it with my own eyes. The two subordinates said in unison.

"Well, that's good! Then do you see clearly that Wu Yong is holding the porridge with which hand, and which hand is holding the fire fold? Li Yi asked suddenly.

The crowd on the side was taken aback.

The subordinate said: "Take the porridge in your left hand and the fire fold in your right hand." ”

The subordinate B said: "Take the fire fold in your left hand and the porridge in your right hand." ”

"Oh? How the hell did you get it? Li Yi shouted loudly.

The subordinate said: "Take the porridge in your left hand and the fire fold in your right hand." ”

The subordinate said: "Take the fire fold in your left hand and the porridge in your right hand."

"Oh? Could it be that you are mistaken? Li Yi asked.

"Yes, yes, we misremembered." The two said in horror.

"Then I'll ask you two more.

Wu used out of Wang's room, when did you find the fire? Li Yi then asked.

"It was a fire that caught fire half an hour later, and the fire was too big for us to put out." The two replied.

"You didn't find out until half an hour later? Didn't you notice it when the fire first started? Li Yi asked loudly.

"Back to Master Hou, Miss is in the backyard, and we can't go in and out casually. So it was discovered relatively late. ”

"Oh? In this way, the fire you found when the fire was at its largest, so how can you conclude that it was set by Wu Yong? ”

Li Yi turned to Lord Han who was sitting in the public court,

"Lord Han, I request an autopsy!"
