This case obviously cannot be regarded as a normal homicide case, and the problem can be considered with ordinary thinking. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The person who is the most suspicious is probably not the real murderer.

Yang Huairen carefully inspected the sheep butcher knife that was fished up from the well, and found that there were indeed some residual blood stains in the blood trough, which formed ice cubes and remained, further proving that this knife was the murder weapon that killed Zhang Laohu.

But a brand-new sheep butcher's knife, why is the tip of the knife curled? Yang Huairen recalls the scene of inspecting the crime scene and the autopsy during the day, and rethinks all the factors of the whole case together.

When all the unreasonable scenes flashed in front of him one by one like a movie, he suddenly had a bold idea.

Yang Huairen suddenly shouted, "Take down Tao Yong, the murderer!" ”

Tao Yong was shocked in his heart, and then scolded, "You dog official, the Sprinkle family thought that you would distinguish between right and wrong, but I didn't expect you to be a foolish person, you wronged the Sprinkle family, and the Sprinkle family will not let you go if you become a powerful ghost!" ”

Yang Huairen didn't care about being intimidated by him, and said with a smile: "You can also try to escape, this official will arrest all your family members and subordinates to give you an account, if you don't believe it, you can resist." ”

Tao Yong's clenched fist gradually loosened, and he quickly took advantage of the situation to put pig iron chains on his hands and feet, and then escorted him to prison.

Tao Yong didn't resist, didn't scold again, and didn't even have the heart to shout grievances, so he lowered his head and was taken away as if he had accepted his fate.

Zhang Lushi and her six daughters-in-law hurriedly knelt on the ground and loudly thanked Yang Huairen for catching the real murderer.

"Thank you for catching the murderer of Wu'er, my lord is really the master of the blue sky!"

Yang Huairen got up and helped them up, and then ordered a few catchers to escort them home, only to say that the Risheng Hall would try the murderer.

Sending away several female relatives of the Zhang family, Xie Changli breathed a sigh of relief, the case was solved, he had no worries, even if Yang Huairen, the Qin messenger, visited here in a secret way, he would not find any evidence of his crimes, he was neither corrupt nor bribe-taking, nor oppressed the people, and suddenly felt relaxed.

"Congratulations to you for solving this case, it only took you one day to solve such a big case, congratulations, congratulations!"

Yang Huairen shook his head and said lightly, "Tao Yong is not a murderer. ”

Xie Changli, Master Jin and the others opened their mouths in surprise, and Xie Lao'er asked: "Since the murder weapon has been found, and there is sufficient evidence to prove that Tao Yong has such a big motive, and he is the only person who has the ability to kill Zhang Laohu, why are you so sure that he is not the murderer?" Then why did Lord Fang just take him down again? ”

Yang Huairen explained: "This is precisely to lead out the real culprit. What Lord Xie needs to do is to let the arresters go home and tell them that the murderer has been caught, and he will be promoted to the court tomorrow, remember to notify all the people involved in this case to be present, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”

It's nearly midnight, but there's still a lot to do. Yang Huairen first explained a few things to Xiao Qi and asked him to do it.

The first thing is to go back to the house and tell He Zhiyun that he will go home a little later tonight, and ask her not to wait for him and rest first.

The second is to ask him to ask Xuan Shen to go to the mortuary again to re-examine Zhang Laohu's body, there is a question, only the corpse can tell him the answer;

The third thing is that the source of several other pieces of news needs to be handled by the internal guards overnight, no matter what method is used, it is necessary to find out what Yang Huairen explained before the opening of the court tomorrow.

In the end, what Yang Huairen wanted to do in person was to visit the prison at night, and there were some things that he had to ask from Tao Yong's mouth alone.

Tao Yong was locked in a separate cell, and he was as disillusioned as a frosted eggplant.

He did think about killing Zhang Laohu with his own hands to avenge Xiang Ling'er, but that was more than ten years ago, but he couldn't let go of his brothers.

Over the years, it was because of the 20 or so brothers who followed him who were poor people that he did not seek revenge on Zhang Laohu.

Revenge is very painful, but he knows that after this pleasure, new hatred will inevitably arise and new revenge will arise against him.

He was left alone, but those brothers, without his protection, they and their families could not survive.

For the sake of a righteous word, he abandoned love and hatred. But he didn't expect that he would have today, a well-known man with righteous words, who was about to be beheaded for a trumped-up crime.

The dungeon was eerie, dark, and cold, and if it weren't for the sound of his own breathing, Tao Yong would have felt that he was already in the underworld.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps, and the light of the fire grew brighter, and a cell boss came up and opened the door, and then hunched over and withdrew.

Tao Yong was a little puzzled, raised his head and stared at the open cell door, a person walked in, and when the flickering fire illuminated this person's face, he saw the face clearly, it was Yang Huairen, who had just said that he was the murderer.

Yang Huairen walked into the cell and gave a look to the people behind him, except for Tianba's younger brother who was guarding the door, the other prison guards all retreated.

Tao Yong didn't know what this meant, and was about to open his mouth to ask, but Yang Huairen spoke first: "I know you are not a murderer. ”

"Then why did you just say that the Sprinkle family killed Zhang Laohu, and you still put the Sprinkle family in prison?"

"Tao Yong, you are a smart person, what I want to catch is a mouse, but your cat is wandering outside, and mice will not come out of the hole, so I will catch the cat first, and when the mouse relaxes its vigilance and comes out of the hole, I will catch it, I must understand what I say."

Tao Yong immediately understood what Yang Huairen meant, and hurriedly asked, "Who does the adult think is the real murderer?" ”

"It's hard to say now," Yang Huairen touched his chin, "but that's why I'm coming to the prison to find you now, there are a few questions that I need you to answer clearly." ”

"The Sprinkle family is willing to cooperate with the adult's plan, but I don't know what the adult wants to ask?"

"The first question, were you and Miss Xiang Ling'er really a secret knot back then?"

"This ......"

Yang Huairen saw that Tao Yong was a little hesitant, so he asked again seriously, "You will answer after you think clearly." ”

"This Sprinkle family is really not sure," Tao Yong didn't seem to be lying, he recalled it carefully, and then said embarrassedly, "Back then, the Sprinkle family and Zhang Laohu went down the mountain together, and at the same time went to Yihong Mansion to meet Xiang Ling'er, and at the same time fell in love with her.

However, adults, don't look at the ugly birthmark on the face of the Sprinkle family, but Xiangling'er is only interested in the Sprinkle family, between the two of us, there was indeed one time, but whether the child was the Sprinkle family or not, the Sprinkle family is really not sure. ”
