Sun Long personally came forward to send the guests who came to mourn to his home, and he had to explain and apologize, but fortunately, Zhao Ying had a strange temperament before his death, and even with his righteous sons, he also had "strange names", and everyone was not surprised.

Some of the righteous sons have already married, and their homes are nearby, so they all go back to inform them.

At the beginning of the lanterns, except for Sun Long and his wife, there were no outsiders in Zhao's house, everyone gathered in the front yard and divided into several groups, one group was thirty-four righteous sons, and six did not return to Beijing, the other group was Sun Long and his wife and six maids, and one group was ten male servants.

Zhao Ying is a martial artist, and there are many righteous sons in the family, so there are only less than twenty fixed slaves.

Although Hu Guiyang and others were tight-lipped, the news of Xiaorou's murder still spread, and she was the only one who was absent from this gathering, and everyone understood what was going on.

More than fifty people in the courtyard had a calm face.

The eldest Hu Guishen spoke first, pretending to be relaxed, first congratulating the third and sixth brothers in public on becoming the avant-garde hundred households in Yanshan - he didn't say the word "try", Hu Guiyang had no chance to correct - and then officially announced that Hu Guiyang was responsible for investigating the cause of his father-in-law's death, and everyone in the family had to obey the arrangement and answer all questions.

This is not new news, but Hu Guishen said it in public, which seems more formal.

Hu Guiyang took a few steps forward, turned to face the crowd, he was familiar with all these people, he could call out the names, nicknames and quirks of each one, he had fought with most people, he had eaten and drunk with most people, he had slept and got up together when he was a child, he was a little older and fought side by side, and now, every word he would say would offend people.

In the eyes of everyone, Hu Guiyang, the thirty-sixth lang, has never been a potential hero and an expected leader.

"Uh, that...... The murderer is among you. ”

As soon as these words came out, the yard was fried, and the voices of angry reprimands, questions, and justifications were mixed, and some people even pointed at Hu Guiyang and scolded.

Hu Guiyang was indifferent, he had no prestige among his brothers, and it was reasonable to provoke such a reaction, but it was the eldest brother and the fifth brother who came forward to suppress it, and it didn't take long for the voice to dissipate, and everyone hid their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"From now on, the gate is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission, even if the boss of Jinyiwei comes."

Someone sneered, but Hu Guiyang smiled, "Then play a little game, from now on, no one in the family can be alone, anytime, anywhere, at least three people must stay together, supervise each other, testify to each other, whoever violates, will be imprisoned." ”

"What about the big and small solutions?" "What about sleeping?" "Where?" "Who's interrogating?"

Hu Guiyang didn't answer, and continued: "Then there is the confession, everyone has to explain the specific whereabouts of the day before yesterday, yesterday, and today, to be more detailed, this kind of thing is familiar to the brothers, I don't need to say more." ”

"There are more than 50 people here, and they still need detailed confessions, and they have to verify each other, and it will take at least ten days to ask them again, and this is still a good situation. Thirty-six, you better save it, there are many ways to investigate the case, you don't have to be so troublesome. Someone unceremoniously objected, not called "brother", but called "thirty-six".

Hu Guiyang had a good temper and said with a smile: "Anyway, being idle is idle, everyone interrogates each other, verifies, and talks about their hearts by the way, our brothers haven't talked at night for a long time." ”

The sneers continued, but the eldest brother and the fifth brother didn't squeak, and the others put up with it.

The servants of the family also had to be interrogated, and Sun Long used to be a hundred households in the patrol department, so he was in charge of this matter.

"Before noon tomorrow, I want to confess, and the second uncle can be a little later." The crowd was noisy, Hu Guiyang had to raise his voice, raised his hands and asked, "Who will match me?" ”

No one paid attention to him, all the righteous sons looked for partners, and Hu Guiyang was not in a hurry, raising his hands and waiting.

"Let's ask each other for a confession." Old Wuhu Guimeng walked over, his expression as gloomy as ever.

"Okay, there's a lack of a transcript."

They have followed their father-in-law Zhao Ying for many years, and they have learned the methods of Jinyi Wei to interrogate criminals, interrogation, torture, and records must have their own people, and they cannot be concurrently held at the same time.

Interrogations between brothers are relatively simple, do not require torture, do not need to be observed, but a third party must record the questions and answers.

"Second uncle, please give us a record first." Hu Guimeng shouted to Sun Long not far away, his tone was gentle, but his eyes were cold when he looked at the third and sixth brothers.

Sun Long was in charge of interrogating the confessions of nearly twenty servants, but none of them were the main targets of suspicion, so the task was not heavy, he walked over with his neck and heavy steps, as if he were treading a water wheel, and said: "No one is allowed to drag the text, I can't write too difficult words." ”

"We are not showmen, we want to embarrass the second uncle, and we don't have the ability." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

The crowd dispersed and went to different rooms, and Hu Guiyang and the others went to the front hall and asked each other questions on the side of the coffin.

Sun Long found a pen and paper, Hu Guimeng laid the paper, Hu Guiyang studied the ink, the old man held the pen and dipped the ink lightly, "Say it slowly." ”

Standing opposite the brothers, Hu Guiyang asked, "Who asks first?" ”

"You."

"Hmm. Please start the record of the second uncle, interrogator: Hu 36 Guiyang, questioned: Hu 5 Guimeng. Hu Guiyang waited for a while, and when he saw Sun Long stop writing, he continued: "Fifth brother, did you ask me for interrogation and let Second Uncle Sun make a record because your behavior was the most suspicious?" ”

Hu Guimeng's face turned pale, and Sun Long on the side laughed, "Boy, you can live so safely with this mouth, which shows that the brotherhood is deep." ”

Hu Guimeng said slowly: "The night before my father-in-law passed away, it was indeed my nursing home, I checked it once during the second watch, and again during the fourth watch, there was no abnormality, and the people who accompanied me were the ninth brother Hu Guiying and the second first brother Hu Guizhi." After discovering that my father-in-law was not good, the first person to be notified by the maids was also me, and the person who went with me to check the situation was the ninth brother Hu Guiying. Later, there were many people who carried the body, and the people I remember were the second brother Hu Guiwei, the ninth brother Hu Guiying, and the eighteenth brother Hu Guifen...... Yahuan Xiaorou was killed last night, I should indeed bear some responsibility, I patronized the search for my father-in-law's body, did not arrange for the person to care for the home, and I did not do any more inspections, giving the murderer a chance. ”

Sun Long stopped writing, "Lao Zhao is too lazy, he names forty godsons casually, who can remember this." ”

"I'll slow down." Hu Gui said fiercely, pondered for a moment, and continued: "I am indeed more suspicious, as for whether it is the 'most suspicious'......"

"I'll just say that, fifth brother, don't take it seriously." Hu Guiyang showed a hateful smile again, and then the questions he asked were much more normal, but they were more detailed, and he asked almost every hour of the past three days, Hu Guimeng himself is Jinyiwei, and he doesn't care about this kind of questioning, he must answer all questions, and there is evidence.

"From the second to the fourth watch the night before, the fifth brother slept at home, can the fifth sister-in-law prove it?"

Hu Gui glared at the third and sixth brothers, and spit out a word from his mouth: "Yes." ”

Hu Guiyang also smiled, "I'm done asking, the fifth brother will start asking me." ”

Hu Guimeng also reported his name and began to ask questions sentence by sentence, and finally he said: "The night before my father-in-law passed away, you slept at home, and last night when Xiaorou was killed, you slept in the front hall, and there were no outsiders around, so I can't prove it." ”

"If you don't say it's better to get married early, even when you sleep, there are witnesses by your side."

Hu Gui snorted violently, "I'm done asking, there are still a few words, second uncle doesn't need to remember." Third and sixth brother, I really don't understand what is the use of you making this one? When the stepfather took us, he first found enough evidence, and then arrested someone to ask for a confession, whether the other party lied, we knew in our hearts. Asking questions like yours is like child's play, how can you ask for results? ”

"If I don't understand, I don't understand, why does my father-in-law have to mention my name? Why do you have to let me investigate the case? Since I have to, this is my investigation method, which may be different from my father-in-law, but it may not be easy to use. Besides, what do I have to do? You can't just wait for the killer to come back again. Hu Guiyang blinked his right eye and turned to Sun Long, "Second uncle, you also have to record a confession." Last night, you and your second aunt should be together, and there is a lot of suspicion. ”

"Little bastard, I know that you have this hand, ask, don't let you ask, the fifth child asks. Damn, the inside should be together...... Have you ever seen such an old demon fox? ”

Replaced by Hu Guimeng's interrogation, Hu Guiyang's transcript, and another confession came out.

The whereabouts of the three of them in the past few days are relatively simple, and the confession is relatively brief, Rao is so, after it is completed, it is already the second half of the night, Sun Long yawns for a long time, Hu Guiyang is even more sleepy, "No, no, it's here today, and I'll ask tomorrow morning." Second uncle, you have been going for three hours without a witness, which is very suspicious. ”

"The old woman was borrowed by you to look at the house, and at this time I said that I don't have a certificate? And I'm only three hours, and you've been alone for at least ten hours, and if you say you're sleeping, you might be secretly doing something bad. ”

The two of you say a word, and don't let each other go.

Hu Guimeng left, and soon three people came in with futons and simple cots, and they also had to sleep in the front hall.

The righteous sons have lived in the Zhao family since they were children, and they are familiar with arranging accommodation, and everyone else ignores Hu Guiyang, Hu Guiyang did not sleep in the coffin this time, but lay down on the small bed, and said, "It's not as comfortable as the coffin." Frightened the brothers, he fell asleep.

There was nothing to do overnight, and the next morning, another group of people came to mourn, with a special identity, most of them were heroes or scoundrels from all over the capital.

Jinyiwei's investigation of the case needs to deal with various characters from the three religions and nine streams, and after a long time, they will become friends. These "friends" knew the rules very well, and they did not come in person, but sent representatives to send name stickers, and many people shared one piece, stuffed it through the crack in the door, turned around and left.

Hu Guiyang read all the famous stickers, laughed at the ugly handwriting of several of them, and in the eyes of everyone, he didn't do anything serious all morning.

At noon, all the confessions were sent, Hu Guiyang looked at it more carefully this time, and invited the eldest brother and the fifth brother to pass it on, but the two didn't see the clues, and they didn't think this trick was easy from the beginning.

It wasn't until the evening that Hu Guiyang read more than 50 confessions, put them aside, and stretched, "It's finally finished." ”

"What do you see?" Hu Guimeng's tone had a hint of sarcasm, not believing that the third and sixth brothers would be more unique than his own vision.

"Please call the two brothers in the house, I have already come to a conclusion."

Hu Guishen and Hu Guimeng were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.
