Feng'er seemed to suddenly remember, and said: "I remember, on the day of the accident with the late mother, I saw this man and the late mother talking outside the alley of our house, the two of them were sneaky, and they didn't know what to say." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Are you sure?" ”

Feng'er: "As soon as Pomegranate said it, I remembered it, I don't usually like to remember people's appearances, so I didn't remember it just now." ”

Meng Tianchu turned to Wang Wu and said, "What are you looking for the third lady of the Zhao family?" ”

Wang Wu didn't dare to look at Meng Tianchu's eyes, just looked at it, lowered his head, and whispered: "I heard Xiaolian say that the third lady is kind-hearted, so I want to ask her to borrow some money." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Did you borrow it?" ”

Wang Wu shook his head and said, "The third lady is very stingy, I only borrowed one or two pieces of silver, and she said no." ”

Meng Tianchu: "What happened later?" ”

Wang Wu: "Then I left." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Feng'er, when did you see Wang Wu and Wanniang talking together?" ”

Feng'er thought for a while and said to the pomegranate: "That day I said I wanted to eat sour dates, and then I took you out to buy them, do you remember what time it was at that time?" ”

Pomegranate shook her head and said, "Anyway, after dinner, it's going to be dark, and Madam, you said that there is no taste in your mouth, so let's go out and try our luck to see if we can buy dates from the market." ”

Meng Tianchu muttered: "After dinner, it shouldn't be early in the day, Wang Wu, you have to tell the truth, did you fail to borrow money, and you had a grudge, so you followed Wanniang, and waited until night to climb over the wall and go in, kill Wanniang, and gouge out her heart?" ”

When Wang Wuyi heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I didn't borrow money that day." I went back to the inn to sleep, I really didn't kill the third lady? ”

Meng Tianchu: "Do you think that if you say this, we will believe it?" Your son has eaten the hearts of two people, and there is still one missing, but after the late mother was killed, the heart was also pouged out, how do you explain it? ”

Wang Wu: "My lord, I am really wronged. I admit that I gave my son two hearts, yes there is still one missing, but I didn't want to feed my son from someone else, I knew it was going to pay for my life. ”

Xiaonuo: "Wouldn't killing your own daughter pay for your life?" ”

Wang Wu: "I don't know ——,, but the sin is not to death, it is my own daughter, and I did not kill other people's children." ”

Meng Tianchu said categorically: "It's all a capital crime!" ”

When Wang Wuyi heard this, he immediately collapsed to the ground, his face colorless.

Meng Tianchu: "Then let me ask you again, where did the little child's heart come from that you gave your son food?" ”

Wang Wuyi was stunned, looked at his wife, and the woman hurriedly left Wang Wu for a distance, for fear of being beaten by Wang Wu again.

Wang Wu saw that Meng Tianchu knew everything, so he had no choice but to say: "It's also a coincidence, I saw a man by the moat digging out the internal organs of a child, so I hid and watched." After he dug up the child's internal organs. I cut off the child's head, put the child's body in a cloth bag, carried it and left, and I stepped forward. And he saw that the child's heart had not been taken away by the man. I remembered that my precious baby needs to eat people's hearts, so I took it home. ”

Moat? Meng Tianchu was shocked. Isn't that the place where the Zhao family's grandson was found?

Xiaonuo got up and said: "Wang Wu, I see that you are not beaten, you are still deceiving people, you think you are killing pigs, under the blue sky and white sun, someone actually killed people in a grand manner by the river of Moxiang Academy, and then left some heart for you to take to your son to eat, don't you think it's funny?" ”

Wang Yi also said on the side: "That's it, what Miss Xiaonuo said is not wrong at all, is your lie too outrageous?" ”

Meng Tianchu interrupted Wang Yi's words and said, "Have you seen the person's appearance?" ”

Wang Wu shook his head and said, "At that time, the sky was about to get dark, and the man had his back to me, and I couldn't see it. ”

Chai Meng: "The man is originally you, so you naturally can't see it." ”

Meng Tianchu: "You said you couldn't see the man's appearance, but why do you know that he killed a child?" ”

Wang Wu: "I listen to the voice." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Voice? ”

Wang Wu: "Yes, I heard that the child was begging for mercy at the beginning, I listened to the voice is a child, about the same age as our precious baby, and later, there was a child's shoes on the ground, very good-looking, if it is not one, if it is a pair, I will take it home for my precious baby to wear." ”

Meng Tianchu: "You mean, when you found them, that child wasn't dead yet?" ”

Wang Wu: "No, I remember it really, I didn't die." ”

Xiaonuo: "Then why don't you go up and save that child?" ”

Slaying the dragon said coldly: "He even wants to kill his own daughter, do you still want him to save other people's children?" ”

Xiaonuo stopped talking.

Meng Tianchu: "Just by your voice, do you know how old the child is?" ”

Wang Wu: "Didn't that person put the child in a cloth bag later, and at that time I saw that the child's height was only the size of my precious baby." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Did that man speak?" ”

Wang Wu shook his head and said, "It hasn't been, I think that person is probably a mute." ”

Meng Tianchu: "You should always know how tall that person is and how fat and thin he is!" ”

Wang Wu thought for a while and said, "Not tall, not short, not fat or thin." ”

Wang Yi got up and scolded angrily: "Bastard, I think you don't want to live anymore, and you dare to talk to Lord Meng like this." ”

Wang Wu hurriedly said: "What I said is true, I won't lie to you." ”

Wang Yi: "I think you're lying!" ”

Wang Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Anyway, killing one person is death, killing two people is also death, since you think that the child was killed by me, then I will admit it, and the third lady, you think I killed it, I will also admit it." ”

Wang Yi: "Bold Wang Wu, do you think we are forcing a confession?" ”

Wang Wu: "I didn't say that, it's all a death anyway, I don't care." ”

Meng Tianchu motioned for Wang Yi not to speak, and then asked, "How does the height compare to me?" ”

Wang Wu: "You should be shorter than the adult, fatter than this adult." After speaking, he pointed at Chai Meng.

Meng Tianchu said to Xiaonuo: "Is there a shoe in the things that brought back the child at that time?" ”

Xiao Nuo hurriedly looked through Murong Zhenxue's records, and then said, "No." ”

Meng Tianchu thought for a while and said, "Wang Wu, was it completely dark when you left?" ”

Wang Wu: "Yes, when the man left, it was already dark, so I just went over and took the hearts of the people and hurried away." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Were there any human voices or other sounds around you when you left?" ”

Wang Wu shook his head and said no.

Meng Tianchu thought for a moment. said: "Did you take people's hearts and go home directly?" ：”

Wang Wu: "Yes, the weather is so hot, I'm worried that it will be rancid." Isn't my baby a bad stomach after eating it? So I rushed home overnight, and it was going to be dawn when I got home. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Then how did you go to the moat alone?" ”

Wang Wu: "I was shopping, I was idle, probably because I ate something not very clean that day, and I broke my stomach, so I saw that it was close to the moat, so I got in." ”

Meng Tianchu: "The Lang Zhong in the county seat you are looking for said that your son's illness needs to eat people's hearts to get better?" ”

Wang Wu: "It's in the west of the city, the one named Liu Banxian." ”

Feng'er also said on the side: "Hey, it's a coincidence, I'm looking for that Liu Banxian." ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly asked Wang Yi to bring someone to arrest this person named Liu Banxian, and then asked someone to take Wang Wu and his woman back to the prison.

Feng'er: "Master Meng, no, Lord Prefect, am I also going to die?" ”

Meng Tianchu sighed and said, "I can ask the Criminal Department to wait for you to give birth to a child—"

Although Meng Tianchu did not finish his words. But Feng'er understood, she said gratefully: "I know, my Feng'er is a ghost for a while, it's too late to say anything now, thank you adults for letting me give birth to my child, Feng'er is grateful." ”

Xiaonuo: "Brother Meng." Don't you think it's the late mother of Wang Wu's killing? ”

Meng Tianchu: "The second commandment for handling cases." You just can't be impetuous. ”

Xiaonuo: "Oh, got it. But who do you say killed the late lady? ”

Meng Tianchu: "Do you remember the knife we found under the bed of the fourth lady of the Zhao family?" ”

Xiaonuo nodded.

Meng Tianchu: "There are no blood stains on Wan Niang's body with other knives in the kitchen, but only that one does." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Feng'er said, "My lord, do you mean that the fourth lady's maid killed the late lady?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "She has left the Zhao family now, and we asked the people of the Zhao family to find out that she didn't tell her where her home was when she came, but we have already posted a notice, and if we find her, we will probably have an answer." ”

Feng'er was puzzled: "But why did she kill her late mother?" ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Pomegranate: "My lord, why don't you ask the little bell in the wife's room, she has the best relationship with the maid Xiaocui in the fourth lady's room on weekdays." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at the pomegranate, and then remembered the little maid who told him that Feng'er had been to the late mother's room, could it be her?

Meng Tianchu called a servant and gave a few orders, and after the servant left, Meng Tianchu comforted Feng'er a few words, and then asked Pomegranate to help Feng'er go back to the cell.

There were only a few of them left in the hall.

Meng Tianchu said: "What do you think of this case? ”

Xiao Nuo preemptively said: "I still think Wang Wu is suspicious, since you said that Feng'er can't be a murderer, then only Wang Wu is the most suspicious." ”

Chai Meng: "How do you explain the knife under the maid's bed?" Since he has already dug up people's hearts, why don't he take them away, but stay in the salt jar? ”

Xiaonuo: "You're stupid, you must have encountered something at that time that you couldn't take it away." ”

Chai Meng: "What about the knife?" ”

Xiaonuo: "You're so stupid, he wants to blame others, and he doesn't even understand this." ”

Dragon Slayer: "I don't think so. ”

Meng Tianchu's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said, "Slaying the dragon, what do you think?" ”

Tu Long said: "Wang Wu himself said that killing one is also death, killing three is still death, there is no need for him not to admit it, so I don't think Wang Wu did it." ”

Xiaonuo: "Then who do you say did it?" ”

Slaying Long shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Then I don't know, how can Master Meng know if I don't know?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "What the dragon slayer said is quite reasonable, however, Wang Wu still can't rule out suspicion, in addition, I think that the murderer found that the child was missing a shoe on his foot, and came back to pick up the shoe that he had dropped." ”

Xiaonuo: "Isn't it just a child's shoe, as for a special trip?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "We have no way of knowing the murderer's psychology, but we really didn't find that shoe at the scene, so that Wang Wu, a person with four walls, said that it was useless to take one home, so others naturally would not have any interest in that shoe, the only one who was interested, most likely was the murderer himself." ”

Xiaonuo: "Then this murderer is really strange, it seems that he is still a careful person." ”

Meng Tianchu listened to Xiaonuo's words, looked thoughtful, and didn't answer for a while.

Xiao Nuo finally couldn't help but yawn, and when Meng Tianchu saw this, he said to Chai Meng: "You send Xiao Nuo back first." ”

Xiaonuo: "I won't do it, I want to be with you." ”

Chai Meng smiled: "My lord still has something to do, so I'll send the princess back to rest first." ”

Xiaonuo didn't leave, Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "You yawn a lot, it will affect everyone, and everyone will be yawned by you later, isn't it a joke?" ”

"What's a good joke, everyone will have a sleepy time, you asked Wang Zhutou to find Liu Banxian, and now you have nothing else to do, why don't you take advantage of this Moxiang Academy member to go back to sleep? Things to do, but you have to know how to combine work and rest, you know? ”

Meng Tianchu pointed at Xiaonuo at the people present and said, "You see that our princess has begun to teach me a lesson." ”

Xiao Nuo was displeased, and said: "What princess is not a princess, I am Xiao Nuo in front of your Brother Meng, not a bullshit princess, I just want you to go back and rest with me." ”

Tu Long smiled and said: "The princess is really a lover, or according to what Xiao Nuo said, you and Xiao Nuo will go back to sleep first, I will guard here, if there is any news, I will go back and inform you." ”

Seeing that everyone said this, Meng Tianchu had no choice but to nod in agreement, and said, "Then let's go back with the dragon slayer, they will naturally come to inform us if they have news." ”

Tu Long didn't insist, and the three of them walked out of the yamen compound with Meng Tianchu, got in the car and went back to the governor's mansion.

Following

Meng Tianchu really woke up naturally, pushed open the window, it rained, the rain fell on the banana leaves outside the window, a burst of fresh air greeted him, it was very cool, three or two maids sat under the corridor doing needlework, laughing quietly, and it was quiet, which made people feel very comfortable.

At this time, a maid turned around and saw Meng Tianchu standing in front of the window, and quickly got up, and the other two maids also got up to give Meng Tianchu a bow.

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "It's rare to have a good weather today, and you guys are very leisurely." ”

The maids knew that Meng Tianchu had always been good-tempered, so they naturally wouldn't say that they were lazy, but they were also a little embarrassed, and whispered: "It's the eldest lady who asked a few of us to guard you here, saying that we were worried that you wouldn't be able to see anyone when you woke up." ”

Meng Tianchu walked out of the door, a maid hurriedly entered the house and brought a coat to Meng Tianchu and put it on his shoulder, Meng Tianchu said: "I'm not a child anymore, you can do whatever you have to do, don't worry about me." ”

A maid said, "The four ladies took the young master and the nurse to the Lingyin Temple to offer incense. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Go to incense today?" ”

The maid nodded with a smile and said, "Today is the day when the young master is 100 days old." ”

Meng Tianchu suddenly realized, it seems that his father is really incompetent.

"Did you get anyone to follow?"
