"Lord Prefectural, why are you here?" Looking at the nervous looks on the two of them, the county commander said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, we just came over to ask you a few questions, and you just cooperate with us." ”

After saying this, he directly glanced at Shen Lian next to him and motioned for her to ask.

After the instruction, Shen Lian asked directly, "That's the case, we learned from Wang Meng that he didn't leave the house last night and stayed at home all the time, is that the case?" After hearing this, Uncle Zhang looked a little surprised, and didn't understand why she asked herself like this.

But he still nodded and replied truthfully, "That's true, my mother-in-law and I did see him yesterday, when he was in the yard in the middle of the night and didn't know what to do, don't ask when we go out to close the door, we know that he was watering." ”

"Watering in the middle of the night?" Yin Chen asked.

Sister-in-law Zhang took over, and her tone was also full of doubts.

"It was strange when we saw it, and we didn't understand how he was still paying taxes at that time, but he said that the ground was too dry, so he had to water it quickly, and he chatted with us for a while."

"Do you remember what time it was? Didn't he leave the house after that? Shen Lian asked.

Regarding this question, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang shook their heads in unison.

"We can't remember the exact time, but it was really late, it should still be the first half of the night, but after all, the time is not early, and it should be unlikely that he will go out."

The answer to the two of them is probably almost no different from what Wang Meng said.

It's just that even if this is the case, it doesn't prove that he stayed at home all the time and didn't go out in between, but it can prove that he stayed at home during that time period.

It's just that because the specific time of Zhang Xiucai's death can't be determined, there is no way to determine whether Wang has anything to do with this matter, let alone whether he has an alibi.

Although what Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang said can prove that Wang Meng did stay at home at that time, it can only confirm that he did not leave during that time period.

But there is also a strange point that makes Shen Lian a little puzzled, how could he suddenly water the ground at night? It was incomprehensible how such a behavior could be made, or that he appeared in the ground that night, not to water the plants, but to be seen.

In this way, there is also time for witnesses to prove that Wang stayed at home at the time and did not go out.

Since I haven't gone out, it shouldn't have anything to do with Zhang Xiucai's affairs, and I have to say that this is indeed a very smart approach.

But all this is just speculation, and the specific situation is not known at present, but it is only said that Wang Meng's suspicion is indeed relatively large.

After a brief inquiry, they left.

It's just that these two inquiries didn't ask anything related to the case, and the county magistrate began to be a little anxious, for fear that there would be no way to solve the case and affect his reputation.

"What's next? Do we have to find someone else and see who has been to Zhang Xiucai's bookstore at night? After hearing this, Yin Chen shook his head.

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult to check, after all, it's not early, and there are probably no pedestrians on the street, so it's probably a little difficult to find witnesses."

For his statement, Shen Lian also nodded on the spot, it is indeed a little difficult, and it is possible to find it, in this case, then they will have to waste their efforts.

But soon she thought of another way.

Since it is now believed that Wang Meng has a certain suspicion, then we should start from him to see if he really has something to do with Zhang Xiucai's death.

If it is related, then it is to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, and it is all non-kung fu, but if it is not related, it is equivalent to directly eliminating the suspicion on him completely, and you can no longer consider his problems in the future.

"Let's first determine the distance from Zhang Xiucai's library to Wang Meng's house."

For Shen Lian to suddenly say such a thing, the restriction felt incomprehensible, and she didn't understand what her intention was in doing this, wasn't this equivalent to a direct waste of time? "Why do you want to do that? Is there any point in doing so? After thinking about it briefly, Yin Chen became clear about what she wanted to do, and at the same time explained briefly to the county order.

"It's very simple, because the suspicion on Wang Meng's body is relatively large now, and when we went to find him at that time, his whole mental state was very problematic, maybe it really has a personal relationship with that Zhang Xiucai, let's first determine where the route to his house will pass, whether anyone will encounter it, if anyone encounters it, then it can basically be determined that he lied."

If he lied, then the lie that he had been staying at home that night would be self-defeating, and it would be more certain that he was closely related to Zhang Xiucai's death.

If it doesn't have anything to do with each other, then there's no need to lie at all, and the two of them both want to gain fame together, they know each other well, and they're friends.

So they first determined the specific route, and then followed this route to see who would pass nearby, and then went in to ask if they had seen Wang Meng that night.

At the beginning, they simply asked a few companies and said that they didn't see it, which is also a normal thing, so they were not discouraged and continued to ask.

However, after asking all the people on the route, no one saw it, which was a bit surprising to them.

Regarding the idea proposed by Shen Lian, the county commander was a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He was originally a small official, and he stayed in the county office all day long to sit or enjoy the flowers, and he was quite idle, but now in order to investigate the death of Zhang Xiucai, he ran out with them.

Having wasted so much physical strength and time, not to mention that if evidence is discovered, it will not be a waste of money, but now that nothing has been discovered, it is equivalent to saying that all the preparation and efforts made before are useless.

"This has dragged me for so long, and I haven't found any clues, isn't this pulling me to have fun? I ......" Later, he wanted to continue, but after seeing Yin Chen's gloomy face on the side, he didn't say anything more.

Knowing why he didn't continue, Shen Lian looked at him very seriously and said, "It's not over yet, I want to ask the person who beat the watch to see if he met anyone last night." ”

Even if the county order was a little uncomfortable in his heart, he had no choice but to follow.

The county town is a watch of an old man named Wang Sheng.

When I found him, he was eating at home, and when he saw the county magistrate coming in person, he was very surprised, and he didn't understand what was going on.

Wang Sheng hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the house.

"Why did Lord Shainin come here? Is there something going on? ”

"That's right, we want to ask you, did you meet anyone when you were on the shift last night?" Almost without any hesitation, he replied directly, "It's already dark when I go out, and there will hardly be anyone on the road, as if I haven't met anyone." ”

But after finishing speaking, he suddenly thought of something very important, and hurriedly added it.

"Last night, when I was walking on the road, I seemed to really meet a person, he went to Zhang Xiucai's library, and then today I heard about Zhang Xiucai's death, and I don't know if it has anything to do with that person."

After hearing this, the county magistrate hurriedly began to ask questions.

"What does that guy look like? Have you seen it clearly? Wang Sheng shook his head, "I don't see it very clearly, but the two of them seemed to be still discussing something after he entered Zhang Xiucai's library, and I heard their voices talking when I passed by." ”
