Li Rizhi handled official business in the second hall behind the main hall, which was the place where the prefectural order handled official business.

He knew that Cheng Zizi was trying the case in front, but he didn't want to intervene, after all, Cheng Zizi was a county lieutenant, so he was going to start trying the case, this is what a county lieutenant should do, and he had to try to get used to it.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the second hall, and Cheng Zizi walked in, and as soon as he came in, he said: "Senior brother, this case is a bit tricky, I can't figure it out!" ”

Li Rizhi looked up at him and said, "What's wrong?" Something happened, right? ”

Cheng Zizi nodded hurriedly and said, "Senior brother, you guessed accurately, it was indeed an accident!" ”

He told Li Rizhi in detail about the trial he had just heard.

Especially when he talked about how to scare Zuo Laocai, and how he deceived the rich man, the details were even more detailed, but the goal was achieved, but the parties were too excited to end it.

Li Rizhi listened very carefully, and did not interject during the period, and after Cheng Zizi finished speaking, he shook his head and said: "You are a little too anxious, the confession is actually not in a hurry to ask, you should take them to the scene of the crime, let them all wait far away, and then you carefully check every place at the scene and stay longer."

After you do this, you can interrogate them again, and the confession you get may be very different from what you have now! ”

After a pause, Li Rizhi said again: "Even if you can't find anything at the scene, as long as you pretend that you have found something and make a confident appearance, you can scare them all, and there is also a very important point, that is, to interrogate them separately and find out the differences in the confession, so that you can get the desired confession even if you don't have to hit the board!" ”

After listening to it, Cheng Zizai said: "Senior brother, today's case came in a bit of a hurry, and I was also a little anxious, so I usually remembered all the things I remembered, and I forgot all about it at the critical moment, I only remembered how to interrogate and get a confession!" ”

Li Rizhi stood up and said, "Then let's go to the front and see how we will continue the trial!" ”

The two of them stood up together and went to Cheng Zi's official hall.

At this time, Lang Zhong had already come, checked on Huang Caizhu and Huang Auntie, and persuaded them to mourn and change, Lang Zhong was also quite unable to speak, and before he was sure that Huang Meiyu was dead, he had to persuade the old couple of the Huang family to mourn and change, which caused Huang Caizhu and Huang Auntie to cry again.

After Li Rizhi entered the public office, Huang Wen and Huang Wu immediately bowed and saluted, and Huang Caizhu and Huang Damiang didn't dare to cry anymore, so they hurriedly saluted Li Rizhi and called him the county commander.

Li Rizhi said: "This official sees that you are crying so sadly, and the tears on your face have not dried yet, is the news confirmed?" ”

Huang Wen hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "The news has not been confirmed yet, but it seems to be very bad, the lower officials and their families are anxious, it is difficult to control themselves, and they have disturbed the county commander, and I hope the adults will not blame!" ”

Li Rizhi shook his head and said: "I didn't disturb the official, but the official was thinking, if the news has not yet been determined, we can't determine that your daughter was killed just by saying a few words, we should still go to the Zuo family to take a closer look and find out the clues, maybe your daughter was not killed, if we go to find it, we can rescue her in time!" ”

When Huang Caizhu and Huang Damiang heard this, they immediately became anxious, and they were so anxious that they were about to go out, and they were going to search Zuo's house again.

Huang Wu said on the side: "My lord, the humble duty has been carefully searched in the Zuo family, and the scene is afraid that it has been destroyed, and the humble duty was in a hurry at that time, and he really didn't think about protecting the scene, nor did he expect that things would develop to this point, this is all the fault of the humble position!" ”

Li Rizhi waved his hand and said: "Will we find any clues, we will only know after we go, it is useless for us to guess here, it will only be a waste of time!" ”

Then Li Rizhi led them out of the door, Huang Wu followed closely behind Li Rizhi, and he said: "Do you want to rush to the Zuo family now, and control all the people of the Zuo family, so that they don't destroy the evidence?" ”

Li Rizhi glanced at him, but shook his head and said: "There is no need for this, if they want to eliminate the evidence, then it will be eliminated long ago, and it will be too late for you to go at this time!"

Well, by the way, bring all the people from the Zuo family, and when you get to their house, the official may have any questions to ask them, and ask them to answer them on the spot! ”

Huang Wu agreed, and personally went to the prison to mention Zuo Laocai and Zuo Auntie.

Zuo Lichang, who had been standing far away and did not dare to come, hurriedly followed Huang Wu to the prison.

Li Rizhi got on the horse, took everyone out of the city together, and rushed to Xiaozuo Village, the horse ran fast, and it didn't take long to enter the village.

There are no idlers in the village in broad daylight, and this is the time to work in the fields, and even if there is a lively view, the villagers will not come back to see the excitement.

The village was quiet, except for a few dogs barking occasionally, and when a large number of horses entered the village, the dogs barked louder and louder, but none of the dogs came out to block the way.

Huang Wen led the way, until he reached the front of the courtyard of Zuo's house, and saw that the gate was closed, and there was not even a person around.

Huang Wen dismounted and strode to the door, before he could raise his hand and knock on the door, the door creaked open, and the second child of the Zuo family nodded inside, giving Huang Wen a smile.

The second child of the Zuo family is not a promising person, he is usually honest, and most of the time he will work in the field with the long-term worker, of course, he is mainly a supervisor.

Now that the Zuo family has such a big event, the second child of the Zuo family can't work in the field, so he can only stay at home, he originally thought that Zuo Laocai and Zuo Auntie would come back soon, but what he didn't expect was that Huang Wen came to the door, and he also brought a large number of errands, which is tantamount to a disaster!

The second child of the Zuo family was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out when he stood inside the door, but just nodded and said, "Brother Huang family, why do you have time to come to my house?" ”

This greeting was really embarrassing, but at this time, the second child of the Zuo family really couldn't think of anything else, usually he was not a sharp-toothed person, and he didn't know what to say at this time.

Huang Wen didn't talk nonsense to him, he made a gesture, and immediately two servants came up from behind to push the door open, and then pulled the second child of the Zuo family aside to take care of it, and the second child of the left family was so frightened that he almost cried.

Fortunately, at this time, Zuo Lichang accompanied Zuo Laocai and Zuo Auntie also came back, and the second child of the Zuo family looked at his father and mother and third brother as if he saw the backbone, but he still didn't dare to push away the errand and come over to meet them.

Li Rizhi entered the courtyard of Zuo's house, and the first thing he asked was: "Does your house have a back door?" ”

Hearing the question, Zuo Li Chang hurriedly ran over and said: "There is a back door, but the back is leading to the vegetable field, the villain has no garden in his house, only a small piece of land in the back, specially planted some seasonal vegetables, not taken out to sell, are eaten by his own family." ”

Li Rizhi snorted and said, "Let's go and see the back door first, you lead the way in front!" ”
