Chapter 383: Beasttrap
Li Rizhi immediately interrogated Qiao Jindou, it doesn't matter what happened to the crime, the important thing is to find Huang Meiyu's whereabouts first.
However, Qiao Jindou's answer was exactly the same as what he said to Huang Wu just now.
He said at first that Huang Meiyu was taken away by Qiao Haozi, and then said that Qiao Haozi went to chase Huang Meiyu, but he didn't know whether he was caught or not!
In short, if Li Rizhi's attitude towards him was more relaxed, then he would have described himself as completely innocent, and if Li Rizhi had been more severe in his interrogation, then he would immediately change his tone and describe himself as an accomplice.
And in Qiao Jindou's mouth, it was the first time he did this, and he was forced by Qiao Haozi, and he didn't kill anyone, at most, he just sold stolen goods for others.
Li Rizhi knew at a glance that this person was a habitual offender, very good at torture, and good at using the small means of torture into a trick, deliberately avoiding the serious, as long as he was beaten, he would talk nonsense, so that as long as he was not sentenced to death, even if he was imprisoned, then when he encountered the imperial court's amnesty to the world, he would easily overturn the case, and he would be the first batch of people to be released.
This person is quite slippery, of course, even if he is slippery, he can only deceive those who can't solve the case, but Li Rizhi will not be fooled.
Wang Xianghuo's confession is true, but it is true that Qiao Jindou is a fierce person, and when he saw him for the first time, he wanted to pull out a dagger and kill Wang Xianghuo, how could such a fierce person be an accomplice!
He and that Qiao Haozi must be the main culprits, and Qiao Jindou has no credibility at all, and he betrayed Qiao Haozi without ambiguity at all, which is very admirable.
Li Rizhi has a very good way to deal with this kind of person, if it is an ordinary official who tries the case and encounters a slippery person like Qiao Jindou, there is really no way, but Li Rizhi can find a way casually.
Li Rizhi sighed and said: "It seems that this case can't be done, the clues end here, since this is the case, then close the case!" ”
Then, Li Rizhi said to Qiao Jindou: "You teamed up with Qiao Haozi to kidnap Huang Meiyu, and if the extortion failed, you killed Huang Meiyu, that Qiao Haozi wanted to stop your murderous deeds, so you even killed Qiao Haozi together, and after killing two people, you destroyed the corpse, so now the corpse can't be found, and this case is solved here, even if it is over."
Come on, bring this Qiao Jindou back to the county government and sentence him to death, this person is so vicious, he should be beheaded immediately, without delay, lest this person be cunning, make up nonsense, and bite good people! ”
The latter sentence was a little vague, but others couldn't understand it, but that Qiao Jindou heard it clearly, and he also deeply understood the meaning of the words!
That is to say, this county magistrate feels that he can't solve the case, so he has to arrest the dead ghost, and Qiao Jindou is obviously not a white and flawless person, at least he is an accomplice, and he is not completely wronged.
Anyway, for those who are officials, whether they are big thieves or small thieves, they are all thieves anyway, and if they die, they will die, it doesn't matter.
The reason why Qiao Jindong became so slippery was because he had seen too many confused officials, and precisely because he had seen too many of them, he knew that if the confused officials were to take people's lives, it would really be without scruples.
If the county magistrate in front of him finds that he can't solve the case, there must be an unlucky person, then there is no doubt that this person is him Qiao Jindou.
It didn't take too long for Qiao Jindou to figure out this matter, but after turning around in his mind, he immediately understood the seriousness of it!
Qiao Jindou shouted: "My lord, the villain suddenly remembered, Qiao Haozi went to chase Huang Meiyu, and it seems that he also caught up, but he met a nosy person, maybe a ghost who has hatred for him!"
Adult, you don't know, Qiao Haozi is a tomb robber, he has done too many things that lack morality, what he is best at is to harm other people's graves, there are more ghosts who have enemies with him, and there are more graves dug up, how can he not meet ghosts!
The villain had a conflict with Qiao Haozi at that time, the villain is a kind person, he never beats and kills, and rarely fights with others, so he is naturally not Qiao Haozi's opponent, and was knocked to the ground by Qiao Haozi, originally the two of us had to be together, but he ran away alone......"
Speaking of this, Qiao Jindou was obviously stunned, he found that he had missed his mouth, and there were some things that should not be said, so he immediately stopped talking about this, but about what happened to Qiao Haozi.
Qiao Jindou continued: "Although Huang Meiyu ran very fast, she was a woman after all, although Qiao Haozi was short, she ran fast, and she didn't run too far, Qiao Haozi seemed to catch up with Huang Girl, but because it was dark at that time, the villain didn't see the specific thing!"
But Qiao Haozi let out a miserable scream, the screaming sound didn't seem to be made by a person, and then there seemed to be some sound of fighting, it was estimated that the ghost grabbed him and wanted to eat him, and there was also the scream of the yellow girl, maybe it was a scream, the villain didn't hear it very well at the time, it may be that the ghost is very powerful, and he wants to eat Huang Meiyu too! ”
Li Zhizhi doesn't believe in ghosts or ghosts, but others do, people in this era are generally superstitious, and they believe in the existence of ghosts, which is the same as people in any era believe in the existence of the God of Wealth.
The two brothers Huang Wen and Huang Wu listened to what the hell is not a ghost, they were all anxious, that Qiao Haozi is a tomb robber, he dug graves all day long, he must have offended a lot of ghosts, there must be very powerful ghosts in it, as a result, the ghosts looked for Qiao Haozi to take revenge, and even affected their sister, they were really angry and anxious!
Li Rizhi said: "Where is the place where Qiao Haozi met the ghost? If it's really a demon doing evil, then let's find some magic sticks and goddesses to jump, surpass that ghost, and save it from harming people in the future! ”
Huang Wu immediately picked up Qiao Jindou and asked him to lead the way in front, although Qiao Jindou was injured, but under Huang Wu's leather whip, he didn't even walk slowly.
When Qiao Jindou and Qiao Haozi separated, they were actually far away from the place where Wang Xianghuo was injured, but there was nothing special about this place, and it was late at night, Qiao Jindou really couldn't remember the specific place, so he could only say a general range.
Huang Wu led the messengers to disperse, looking for the place where Qiao Haozi and Huang Meiyu screamed together.
In a short time, an officer shouted, "Found it, there is a large patch of blood, and a trap for the beast, and a trap!" ”
Everyone ran over together, and when they arrived at the place, Li Rizhi looked at the pool of bloodstains, and saw that it was really a big bloodstain, and he threw this broken trap next to him.
One of the servants crouched down to look at the broken trap and said, "Good fellow, this trap has been broken, how strong must this man's hands be!" ”
