Chapter 377: Return to the prison cell
Liu Yuru said, "Your Excellency, you are right, maybe the little woman is wrong." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The county magistrate said with a smile, "Mrs. Liu, you are a careful person, I don't know what the chief pastor can hide from Mrs. Gao at home!" In that case, let's quit! The county order said, get up and leave again.
Liu Yuru said, "But my lord, the old woman was hit by something when she got up to open the door, and if she was really hit by the basket hanging from the roof beam, the little woman still didn't understand something." ā
The county magistrate frowned slightly, sat down, and asked, "Although Mrs. Liu said that Mrs. Liu is so profound, it has a warning meaning for us!" ā
"My lord, it's not that the little girl is troublesome, it's just that we are a little curious about this matter, and we don't doubt the adult. Where the old woman fell to the ground, her head was at the threshold, and her feet were still behind, and according to common sense, her hands could not reach the deadbolt before she fell to the ground. So how does the door open? ā
"It must have been a bolt on the door, and maybe it was blown open by a strong wind when she got up."
"So ......"
The county commander raised his hand to stop, "Mrs. Liu, I know what you want to say...... Do you want to ask: how could the basket hit her head when the old woman's head was at the threshold, but the place where the basket hung on the beam in the house was above the back of her feet? ā
Liu Yuru nodded.
"The officer thought that the wind must have been so strong during the night that even the basket containing a lot of things was blown and swayed violently. During the investigation, the official had already found that the perennial smoke and fire of the roof beams had long since decayed, and it was okay to tie a thin rope and hang such a heavy object with an iron nail, but it was not surprising that the basket swung and smashed the old woman's head! ā
"So...... When the little woman went, she noticed that the white fish in the courtyard had died after being eaten by wild cats, and I suspected that the fish were poisonous. And when my sister and I went, we knew that those white fish had just been given to the old woman, who gave them to her? We see that the old woman is so old, even the firewood bundle is carried by herself, and no one must care about her life on weekdays, so this fish is a little strange. ā
"Oh? Is there really such a thing? This is the negligence of the lower officials! The county magistrate turned his head and asked, "Have you noticed?" ā
He replied, "Master, when the little one went, he found two dead cats in the courtyard, but he didn't think about the murder. ā
"What nonsense!" The county magistrate reprimanded dissatisfiedly, "How can you not pay attention to such an important link? Shi Dutou, I order you to take people quickly and find out about this matter! Who sent the fish! Find out what his intentions are! In addition, there is one more thing to be investigated together: if it is really as Mrs. Liu suspects, then the suspicion of the person who reported the case cannot be ruled out, and it is also necessary to investigate it clearly to see who he is involved with, and give the county a satisfactory answer to both things. ā
Shi Zhen hurriedly agreed. But before withdrawing, the county magistrate said to Liu Yuru apologetically, "Thank you Mrs. Liu for reminding me, otherwise such a life-threatening matter will be closed with suspicion...... However, in this case, Mrs. Liu will be wronged to stay in the prison room for a few more days. ā
Liu Yuru said, "Adults don't have to think like this, no matter how you say that the old woman is an accident that occurred after our sister asked her, we all want to find out her affairs clearly, otherwise our hearts will always be uneasy." It was nothing for my sister to stay in the cell for two more days. ā
The county magistrate nodded, and then withdrew.
After returning to the prison cell, Fan Ying said, "Sister, I didn't expect you to look at this matter so carefully, but you are more careful than those servants and servants!" But we're going to have to wait for two more days. ā
Liu Yuru said, "Things will never be so simple, the old woman was killed because we asked about things, we left like this, we were fine, but the old woman's grievances sank to the bottom of the sea." Originally, there was nothing for us to do, but when we got up and left like this, we were disregarding our lives for ourselves! If you don't say such a sad thing in the dark room, I'm afraid that you will be unable to sleep in the future. ā
Fan Ying nodded again and again, "What my sister said is, I think Master Gao knows and will think and do this, let's wait patiently!" ā
"My sister also suspects that those people in the yamen are deliberately concealing the facts of the case, you think, when answering the question of the county order, he said this, 'Master, the little one really hasn't seen any traces of dragging', and his answer is a little abnormal."
"What's wrong?"
Liu Yuru said, "Not to mention that I could see it clearly at the time, but they insisted that they didn't see it, and it is estimated that they really can't see it now." But if you have seen it, you have seen it, and if you don't see it, you haven't seen it, and the word 'true' is redundant, which can only show that he knew that he was lying when he spoke, so he said that he didn't find out the truth, this is all the reaction of the liar, he didn't realize it, but he couldn't help but scrutinize. ā
Fan Ying pondered for a while, and then nodded, "He's an errand worker, of course he doesn't have to hide anything like this, so the people above taught him to do this?" Why? ā
"For the time being, I don't suspect anyone, but it makes me believe that the old woman was not stoned to death by a basket, human life is at stake, we don't think for her, who else will think for her? We should stay here for a few more days, and we should have peace of mind in everything. ā
"Sister, they all say that each other is born from the heart, no wonder you are born so good-looking, it turns out that you have a good heart."
Liu Yuru smiled, "So sister, your heart is better!" It's a bit related, but it's not necessarily true, isn't there a beauty with a heart like a femme fatale? ā
Dinner was still delivered on time, and there was more meat than at lunch, and soup, and after the sisters had eaten, there was nothing to do, so they huddled into the bed and talked.
Fan Ying said, "It's a pity...... If given some time, maybe the old woman would be able to say the name of the mysterious man. ā
Although she did not have the opportunity to tell us in person, she had already given us a hint that she must have suddenly remembered this person, and was afraid that she would forget it in her hurry, so she kept muttering that perhaps it was because of this that she was killed. My sister concluded that the person who had killed her must have been secretly watching, and when the old woman said the name of that person, she was afraid that she would say it when we met us again, and kill people. ā
"But I know that Mrs. Cui is the one who is most afraid of us investigating this matter, is it her?"
Liu Yuru said, "There is this possibility, if she is still in Chang'an at this time and sends someone over, wouldn't it be very convenient?" ā
"What can I do? With Sister Cui Yan in the middle, let's not hurt her mother! ā
Liu Yuru said, "I don't want to be her, but I can't think of anyone else in my eagerness." If it was really Mrs. Cui's doing, then her heart would be so bad that she would be at home, and we would just do things with our hearts, and then it would not be us who would be harmed by us, but by herself. ā
Before I knew it, the night was dark, and in the small patio outside the cell, a rope was quietly hanging down from above. A man slipped down the wall more than two feet high and put his ear on the door of Liu Yuru and Fan Ying. (To be continued.) )
