Li Wei, who was acquitted, couldn't stay in the Xia Mansion anymore, so he obediently packed up his things and walked out of the gate of the Xia Mansion, but what he didn't know was that someone was watching his every move.

Walking out of the gate, he was just about to call a carriage to take him back to his hometown, when a stranger stopped him, and after saying something to him, the two of them got into a carriage waiting on the side of the road.

The carriage came to an inn and stopped, and then Li Wei walked in with his luggage and opened the room to stay.

The four soldiers arranged by Jiang Lu also stayed at the inn and closely monitored all Li Wei's movements.

While sending someone to follow Li Wei, Xia Ji began to investigate where the furniture account for one catty and two taels of gold flowed, except for the one tael of gold for the maintenance shop, the other one catty and one tael, that is, seventeen taels of gold (one catty was equal to sixteen taels in ancient times) went. Although more than two catties of gold were found in Kong Du's personal belongings, the gold was all fragmentary gold, indicating that it had been accumulated through repeated embezzlement.

On the morning of the second day after Li Wei stayed at the inn, two soldiers sent by Jiang Lu sat idly in the lobby drinking tea and staring at the passing guests, while the other two stayed in the room next to Li Wei to watch.

Near noon, the soldiers in the two halls really saw a person with a physical appearance and characteristics similar to Wang Xin coming to the inn, and went straight upstairs into Li Wei's room.

The two soldiers immediately followed upstairs, and gently sent a code to the other two soldiers in the room, the soldiers in the room opened the door and came out, and then the four people kicked open Li Wei's door with a short blade and rushed in, Wang Xin and Li Wei were defenseless, and before they could resist, they were put to the chest by four sharp knives, Wang Xin was quickly taken down and sent to Xia Mansion, and Li Wei was also escorted in.

After being escorted into the Xia Mansion, Xia Ji ordered the two to be detained separately for half an hour, and then interrogated separately. The method of such interrogation is Xia Ji's interrogation method of accomplice crimes in the TV series, so that two criminals who cannot communicate with each other expose each other's criminal behavior for the sake of meritorious performance.

The first person to interrogate was Li Wei, because he had promised Fan Rui to let Li Wei go, Xia Ji wanted to interrogate him first, and if there was no major crime, he would still let him go, so as not to embarrass Master Fan.

"Li Wei, I just released you yesterday, do you know why I want to arrest you again today?"

"Mrs. Hui Xia asked, because Wang Xin was looking for me."

"I let you go in the first place just to lure Wang Xin out, so that we can catch him smoothly. From this matter, you should be able to see that everything about you is under the control of our Xia Mansion. Don't be smart, Wang Xin also confessed all your crimes in order to protect himself. If you make meritorious deeds and tell all your crimes, I can still set you free; But if you don't come to your senses, it will only increase the punishment for you, you know? Natsuhime said.

"Mrs. Xia is wise, what do you want to know, just say hello." Li Wei sighed in his heart that this little girl was old and spicy, how did he know that this little girl who was less than twenty-one years old didn't have to think about anything a few months ago, Miss Youyou, who had to grow up and be strong in the past few months, and the knowledge of the case in the novels he had read before now has a little bit of a reference effect.

"Then let me ask you, how did you and Wang Xin kill Kong Du. Don't worry, Kong Du is innocent, I just want to know the process. Xia Ji deliberately downplayed the seriousness of Kong Du's death in order to allow Li Wei to reduce the psychological burden of speaking out about killing Kong Du.

"Killing Kong Du was Wang Xin's own hand, I didn't participate, I just stood outside and watched the wind. Chen Fang went back to the dormitory because of a severe stomach pain, and it didn't take long for Wang Xin to come again, he gave me a little money, and then he asked me to open Kong Du's room, because Chen Fang and I tied Kong Du's feet before, Wang Xin approached and put Kong Du on the ground almost effortlessly, and then strangled Kong Du to death with a rope, and then hung one end of the rope on the beam after strangling Kong Du, pulled Kong Du's head and body to the bottom of the beam and tied the rope, and then put a stool and fell to the ground, The rope on Kong Du's feet was also untied. After doing this, Wang Xin closed the door and left. ”

"Did you see Wang Xin's killing of Kong Du and hanging Kong Du with your own eyes?"

"Mrs. Hui Xia, yes."

"Who instructed Wang Xin to kill Kong Du?"

"Mrs. Hui Xia asked, I really don't know about this, Wang Xin didn't say anything."

"Then after you left the Xia Mansion yesterday, who let you stay in that inn?"

"I don't know that person, and when he saw me and said that someone wanted to see you, I got into the carriage, and then came to the inn, and he said that I should stay in the room he had already opened, and told me not to go out tomorrow morning, saying that someone was looking for me."

"Why would you trust a stranger?"

"I'm all people who have already been arrested, and I think that no matter how bad it is, it won't be bad enough to be caught, so I'm not afraid, and I just don't have a place to go."

Xia Ji asked Jiang Lu to interrogate Wang Xin, and after getting Li Wei's testimony, he asked him to explain the motive for killing Kong Du.

However, Wang Xin did not admit that he killed Kong Du, saying that someone had framed and planted him, and he did not even admit the evidence of Ling Shi and Li Wei's testimony, and only admitted that he had inspected Li Wei and Chen Fang's duty posts, and had not done anything else. The short-tempered Jiang Lu had to be tortured, and Wang Xin admitted that he killed Kong Du, but he insisted that it was out of personal grudges, and no one instructed him.

Of course, Xia Ji would not be naïve to believe that Wang Xin killed Kong Du out of personal grudges, if it was really out of personal grudges, why did he do it after Kong Du was arrested, it was obviously someone manipulating.

Since Wang Xin admitted to killing someone, he could only hand it over to the yamen to deal with, but it was during the Chinese New Year, and the handover procedures could not be completed, so he could only be temporarily locked up in the Xia Mansion.

Wang Xin's confessions are basically the same, and it stands to reason that Li Wei is also Wang Xin's accomplice, but he did not participate in the process of killing Kong Du. Because of the murder case, Xia Ji temporarily detained Li Wei, and handed it over to the Criminal Department for handling after the New Year's Pass.

From the more than two catties of gold in Kong Du's private collection, it can be seen that there have been many collective embezzlements and private pockets in Xia Mansion. Whether there is a pound or two of the more than two catties of gold that has embezzled money, Xia Ji has no way to judge. However, she remembered that the gold that Kong Du had taken from the account was whole.

Kong Du didn't have any rights and responsibilities before Xia Ji came to Xia Mansion, and Xia Ji judged that he was just a horse boy at best, but there was also so much gold, which was shocking.

Xia Ji is unwilling to let the interests of Xia Mansion be arbitrarily encroached upon by these villains, but it is not easy to shake these people without any evidence. She looked at the phone on the table and suddenly had an idea.

Xia Ji asked people to make a wooden box, dig a round hole in it, and put this wooden box in a separate room, and then asked Jiang Lu to summon everyone to the courtyard to give a lecture.

Xia Ji instructed Jiang Lu to tell everyone: When investigating Kong Du's case, it was found that Kong Du had a secret ledger, which contained all the secrets of his embezzlement, and also involved some other people. Because it was an old account before Mrs. Xia came to Xia Mansion, Xia Mansion didn't want to pursue it too much.

However, not to be prosecuted is not to be held accountable at all, those who have embezzled and misappropriated the funds of the Xia Mansion must return the embezzled funds, how much they have to pay, and after returning the money in a bag, they will make a mark, and they will write down this mark, and the Xia Mansion will register these marks and the corresponding amounts of gold and copper coins one by one.

These are all old accounts, and if the money handed over is not much different from the numbers in Kong Du's ledger, they will not be blamed for the past, and if the difference is too great, they must be investigated.

After Jiang Lu said this, he asked everyone to go back to the room to check themselves, gather in the courtyard after an hour, and everyone entered the room where the box was placed alone, and put the illegal gains into the box, and those who did not have illegal gains had to go in once, so as to protect the privacy of these illegal incomes.

And in the room, the hidden Xia Ji's mobile phone camera has been pointed at the wooden box.
