After listening to Zhong Hao say that he was sure that Huazhi County was not the victim of the current spy, Qi still kept a straight face and didn't say anything, but a trace of panic inadvertently flashed in his eyes, and she couldn't help but take a few steps closer to Dong Wenqing, the bookkeeper. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Dong Wenqing's face was unusually calm, with an incomprehensible depth, which made people not know what he was thinking.

Xu Tuiguan and Cao County Lieutenant stood behind Zhong Hao, and when they heard this Zhong Tongju confidently say that he had found out who the murderer was and what happened to the case, they couldn't help but admire him too.

Xu Tuiguan and Cao County Lieutenant did not doubt Zhong Hao's words, Zhong Tong said that after figuring out who the murderer was and the circumstances of the case, he should really find out, otherwise he would not have said nonsense. In the eyes of Xu Tuiguan and Cao County, these civil officials are cautious in their words and deeds, and they will not talk nonsense if they are not sure.

However, it is estimated that Xu Tuiguan and Cao County Lieutenant can't imagine that they will be killed, in fact, the case-solving genius Zhong Tong's sentence in their eyes is actually a level that is not half a hanging, and they dare to say so by relying on bold speculation. The Zhong Tong judgment in front of them is completely different from the standard civil officials who have always paid attention to prudent words and deeds.

It can be said that Zhong Hao still doesn't know the routine of the Great Song Dynasty civil officials as officials. If it is another civil official, it is easy not to open his mouth to take care of things if he is not sure, and most of them pursue the golden mean, and focus on protecting themselves and not making mistakes. Zhong Hao actually has no experience in investigating cases, and he is obviously at the level of a half-ass, but there are really not many people who dare to take on things.

Therefore, Xu Tuiguan and Cao County Lieutenant didn't expect that Zhong Hao was actually half-baked at all, and thought that since he dared to take this matter, he must be very sure! They also admired Zhong Hao's ability very much, this Zhong Hao is young, but he is a generalist, in their opinion, he is really powerful.

Zhong Hao saw that everyone was silent, and no one objected to or questioned his words, so he continued to say to himself: "Not only is this case not committed by Western Xia spies, but the real culprit is between you. As he spoke, Zhong Hao's gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the inner house.

Dong Wenqing listened to Zhong Hao's words, his face was not shocked, and he arched his hand at him as usual, and asked: "Then may I ask Zhong Tongju, how did you know that this real murderer is not a Xia spy?" ”

Zhong Hao glanced at Dong Wenqing and praised him very much. Zhong Hao deliberately paused just now, just waiting for someone to ask a question and do this kind of work, but he didn't expect Dong Wenqing to cooperate with him so much. If no one asks, Zhong Hao will really not be able to continue performing.

At that moment, Zhong Hao smiled slightly and said, "That's a good question, I'll analyze this question for you first." If the Xia people came to assassinate Huazhi County, then they would definitely send a strong person to come, and this assassin would definitely be very ruthless and would not drag the mud and water. However, the official looked at the wounds on the body of Huazhi County, and judging from the wound when the dagger was pierced into the chest, the assassin of Huazhi County should have killed for the first time. Therefore, when the dagger entered the flesh, the murderer's hand obviously trembled. It is precisely because of this that there are multiple repeated piercing abrasion marks and contusions in the wound in Huazhi County, which is caused by the murderer's excessive nervousness and the fact that his hand has been shaking violently when the dagger pierced into Huazhi County's body. ”

After listening to Zhong Hao's analysis, Xu Tuiguan and Cao County Wei nodded secretly, although they were not too proficient in autopsy, but listening to Zhong Hao's words seemed to be very reasonable. After all, if it was really the Xia people who came to take revenge and sneaked into the mansion of Huazhi County to kill people, they would naturally send capable and powerful hands, and would never send a crappy assassin who had never killed anyone!

However, the county lieutenant Cao is also a criminal name, knowing that what Zhong Hao said is only this one corroboration, and it is far from being able to clear the involvement of the Xia people's spies in assassinating Huazhi County, he couldn't help but ask: "What Zhong Tongju said is very reasonable, but it is only this one corroboration, can Zhong Tong's sentence have any other discoveries?" ”

Zhong Hao arched his hand towards Cao County, glanced at him approvingly, thanked him for his praise, and then said to everyone: "Naturally, there are other evidence and discoveries. This other one is that when Huazhi County was stabbed, he was neatly dressed. In other words, Hua Zhi County was not bedridden when he was assassinated, just imagine how Hua Zhi County would react when an assassin suddenly appeared in front of Hua Zhi County? ”

This time, Zhong Hao didn't wait for anyone to praise him, so he asked and answered himself, and said very firmly: "Resist, Huazhi County will definitely resist." But in the bedroom, there was no trace of fierce resistance in the bottom, and even when Hua Zhi County died, there was not even a little gesture of struggle, think about it, when someone appeared in front of Hua Zhi County's chest, Hua Zhi County would not have the slightest defense? This person must be a close friend of Huazhi County, or someone close to him, or even his wife. At the end of his words, Zhong Hao's voice became dark and deep.

When the Qi family heard Zhong Hao say that the murderer who killed Huazhi County might be his wife, he couldn't help but be furious, and pointed at Zhong Hao with a white face and said: "Lord Tongju, you don't have to rely on the official authority to say nonsense, the slave family is not something you can blame casually, why did you want the slave family to kill your own master?!" Besides, when the old man was killed, the slave family was worshipping the Buddha in the Buddhist hall, and the maids all saw it. ”

Zhong Hao saw that the Qi clan couldn't hold his breath, and couldn't wait to jump out to defend himself, and couldn't help but change his rhetoric, and said straightforwardly: "Then what if Huazhi County was killed last night?" ”

Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked: "The old man obviously said that he wanted the maids to prepare food and warm water!" ”

Zhong Hao smiled and said: "If it is indeed Huazhi County himself who spoke, then Mrs. Qi's suspicion can indeed be ruled out, but what if this is not said by Huazhi County?" ”

Qi couldn't help but be annoyed and said, "The maids clearly heard the instructions from the master, how could it not be that the master said it?" ”

Zhong Hao looked at Dong Wenqing and said, "Then maybe you have to ask Mr. Dong about this!" Mr. Dong has been with Huazhi County for a long time, and it doesn't seem difficult to imitate Huazhi County to say a sentence or two, right?! ”

Dong Wenqing couldn't help but be very angry when he heard Zhong Hao's words of splashing dirty water, and he couldn't care about Zhong Hao's identity as a general judge, so he retorted to his face: "Then according to what Lord Tongju said, the people in the courtyard have been with Dong Weng for a longer time than me, aren't they more likely to imitate Dong Weng to speak?" I don't know why the general judge is not pleasing to the eyes, this is really a crime to add, why bother! ”

Zhong Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Dong, don't be annoyed, the official is just speculating, so let's tell you a story first." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, they couldn't turn around for a while, why did they suddenly have to tell a story after the tense confrontation just now!

Everyone here thinks that Zhong Hao, the judge of Linzhou, has the highest official position, and since he wants to tell a story, it is difficult for others to stop him, so everyone can only listen.

At that moment, Zhong Hao said slowly: "Last night, Huazhi County had something to discuss with Mrs. Qi, so he went to Mrs. Qi's room after getting off duty. And when Huazhi County came to Mrs. Qi's house, he found that there was another person in the house. This person was called by Mrs. Qi and said that he should discuss things together, so that he could help with ideas. Huazhi County felt that this person was a relative of Mrs. Qi and his confidant, and it was not an exaggeration to discuss some things together. And this man must have come in at the time of supper, because at this time the maids who lived outside had gone to the dining room for dinner, so no one saw him come in......"

When Dong Wenqing heard this, his face changed slightly.

Zhong Hao smiled lightly: "The three of them discussed for a while, and finally negotiated the matter that Mrs. Qi specially called Huazhi County to discuss. At this time, this person got up to say goodbye, and Huazhi County has always been very polite to this person, so he got up to send him, and at this time, this person turned around and bowed his hand to Huazhi County, signaling not to want to send.

Suddenly, the dagger that the man had hidden in his hand turned out and slammed into Huazhi's chest. Huazhi County couldn't imagine that his confidant would suddenly put himself to death, because he didn't have any defenses at all. At that time, this person's mood must have been very scared, and when he saw the blood flowing from Huazhi County's chest, his hands involuntarily began to tremble.

But this person knew that Huazhi County had to die, so this person gritted his teeth, and his hand continued to exert force, and his trembling hand held the dagger and fiercely pressed towards Huazhi County's chest......"

Zhong Hao tells the story, it is really colorful, making people feel like they are there, and they are not worse than those storytellers. If everyone knew that this was telling the case, they might applaud his story.

Zhong Hao continued eloquently: "After Huazhi County died, because the maids in the outer world had all returned, this person did not go out of the bedroom, but stayed in the house with Mrs. Qi until early in the morning. ”

When Zhong Hao talked about this, Dong Wenqing was quite calm. But although Zhong Hao was telling a story, he was obviously saying that his wife Qi and others murdered Huazhi County together, where did Qi still hold his breath, and couldn't help but point at Zhong Hao and shouted: "Lord Tongju, you need to talk nonsense, this case can not be decided based on your words alone!" How can my lord also be an official of the imperial court, if you dare to mess around and fabricate the case indiscriminately, the slave family will go to the capital to sue you desperately! ”

Xu Tuiguan couldn't help but say to Zhong Hao with some concern: "My lord, things can't be based on speculation alone, Huazhi County is Mrs. Qi's husband, how can he collude with outsiders to murder her husband?" Xu Tuiguan was afraid that Zhong Hao would be young and vigorous and make things difficult to complete, so he persuaded him with words.

Zhong Hao spread his hands towards Xu Tuiguan and said, "But this official thinks that this is the case. Mrs. Qi should have had a personal affair with this person who killed Huazhi County. If the official's guess is correct, the two of them must often take the opportunity to chant sutras in the Buddhist hall to get together! Perhaps, Huazhi County has noticed some clues about them recently, or maybe they want to steal Huazhi County's family wealth, so they decided to kill Huazhi County. Zhong Hao knew that Xu Tuiguan was trying to make it difficult for him to round the field, so he persuaded him to be cautious, so he explained a few words to him to calm his mind.

Xu Tuiguan listened to Zhong Hao's words and knew that it was very likely that Zhong Hao was indeed sure, so he didn't say anything more on the side and listened to Zhong Hao's story.

At that moment, Zhong Hao continued to tell his story: "This person who killed Huazhi County is very cunning. After he killed Huazhi County, he wrote 'revenge' to deliberately mislead us, and Huazhi County had indeed just killed many Xia spies, making us think that it was the Xia people's spies. And in terms of the time of the murder, this person is also deliberately misleading us, making us think that the time of Huazhi County's death should be from the third quarter of Yin Zheng to the second quarter of the first month of Mao.

In fact, last night, Huazhi County had already been killed by him, and after they hid in the bedroom and waited all night, Mrs. Qi first deliberately went to the Buddhist hall to chant as usual. In this way, the maids who waited outside did not feel anything unusual. Then at the third quarter of Yinzheng, a voice came from the bedroom telling the maids to prepare food and warm water, which was not actually from Huazhi County, but from the murderer. This murderer has been with Huazhi County for a long time, and if he wants to imitate Huazhi County's voice and tone, he will naturally be caught. And the maids don't care, and it's impossible to hear the flaws. In this way, the maids will also think that the time of Huazhixian's death should be three quarters after Yinzheng. ”

Hearing this, County Lieutenant Cao gasped and couldn't help asking, "But...... But this person has been in the room, and no one has seen him slip out, but why didn't the Qi family and the maids see this murderer when they pushed the door in? ”

Zhong Hao smiled slightly and said, "Originally, I didn't understand this point, but when I saw the screen, I figured it out." Although this person was in the room, when Qi and the maids pushed the door in, he hid behind the screen. The screen is very large, so hide behind it to avoid being seen by others. When the Qi clan saw that Huazhi County was killed, he must have pretended to be panicked and ordered the maids to go to the front yard to call people.

As soon as the maids left, this person came out of the screen and stood with the Qi family, so that the entire inner house was in chaos, who would notice this murderer? They would only think that this person had also come to Qi's room from his bedroom after hearing the call. Therefore, the young lady Feng and the others who came in later all swore that they saw this person with Mrs. Qi when they entered the room. ”

Xu Tuiguan and Cao County Lieutenant on the side thought about it, if it was themselves, they were afraid that they would also have such an illusion, but they felt that Zhong Tong's guess was too wild and unbelievable.

Zhong Hao felt that his story should be ended now that he had told it, so he said to everyone: "Then the question is, who is this murderer?" ”

In fact, when Zhong Hao's story is here, everyone present has already understood who he is talking about in the story! This is another relative of the Qi family, and a henchman of Huazhi County, there are not many such people in the hospital, or only one!

So, as soon as Zhong Hao's words fell, everyone in the courtyard looked at Mr. Dong Wenqing!
