Chapter 550: Head

Zhang Bao'er nodded after hearing this: "I won't go back to Chang'an in the next few days, let's see how Liu County Ling solves the case!" ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

On the second day, as soon as the sky turned white, Zhang Baoer got up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he walked with Uncle Hua and Jiang Yuqiao outside the village, and saw that there was a market not far from Qixingzhuang, so he walked towards the market.

A shop selling steamed buns has opened for business, Zhang Baoer stopped in front of the steamed bun shop, thinking about whether to taste a few steamed buns, but saw a person come at this time, pointed to the old man who sold steamed buns, lowered his voice and said: "What you did you know in your heart is that not twenty taels of silver can be suppressed!" Twenty taels is not too much. ”

The old man who sold steamed buns stood behind the stove, his hands trembling constantly: "Fifth brother, I also have a hard time arguing, this unclear thing makes me jump into the Yellow River and can't wash it away!" ”

At this time, the old man's wife came out of the house, and when she saw the fifth child, she was so frightened that she quickly took out a copper coin from the house and said to the fifth man: "Brother, there are only so many of them, and it is hard to put them together, you ...... Hold your hand high. My old couple will turn into cattle and horses in the next life to repay you......"

The old man and the old woman even knelt down and kowtowed to the fifth child and pleaded.

Lao Wu pulled his face and said fiercely: "It's not that simple, the government is offering a reward of one hundred taels of silver for the heads of those two women." For the sake of your old couple's points, I don't want twenty taels too much, right? Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Lao Wu said that he was going to arrest the old man and see the official.

At this time, Zhang Bao'er coughed lightly and asked Lao Wu: "This brother, what is the reason for arguing here early in the morning?" ”

Lao Wu turned around and glanced at Zhang Bao'er, and said disdainfully: "The dog bites the mouse, it's your fault!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard the fifth child fall to his knees with an "ouch". Obviously, Uncle Hua saw that he was disrespectful to Zhang Baoer and taught him a lesson.

"Take him down and hand him over to Liu County Order!" Zhang Bao'er gave an order, and then turned to leave.

Zhang Baoer sat in the hall of the Wannian County Ya, coldly watching Liu You's trial.

Liu Youqiu interrogated the prisoner very well, and let the old five confess truthfully after three clicks and two clicks.

It turned out that the night before yesterday, Lao Wu entered the casino with a few gamblers, but he lost ten taels of silver in two games. He lied about peeing, but he actually went out to steal. As soon as he entered an alley, he saw that there was a light in the back garden of Mr. Zhang, and slowly got closer to see that the two of them were digging a pit and burying a bag of things. He thought it was money, so he was so unhappy, after Zhang's husband and his wife buried the things, he stepped into the vegetable garden from the back door, dug the cover of the soil, reached out and touched it, and it was wet. When I looked at the moonlight, I was surprised, what kind of money was this, it was actually two bloody human heads wrapped in clothes.

Lao Wu thought about it, this is also a way to make money, so he dared to knock on the back door of Zhang's father-in-law's house and blackmail. Zhang's father-in-law and his wife were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they asked the fifth child not to make a noise about it, and they didn't know what was going on, and they came back in the morning with water, and they turned on the lights to find that the water in the tank was red, and they took a closer look, and saw that there was something in the tank, and they picked up a package, and opened it to find that it was two bloody heads. The old couple was immediately frightened and helpless, afraid that it would cause trouble, so they quietly buried their heads, not wanting to be discovered by the scoundrel. The fifth child threatened to ask for twenty taels of silver from Mr. Zhang's wife.

When Liu Youqiu heard this, he immediately ordered the master to take two lieutenants to verify with Zhang's father-in-law, and monitor the two of them and keep them strictly confidential.

The master came back and said that Mr. Zhang said the same thing as Lao Wu. Liu You begged the lieutenant to temporarily detain the fifth child, and ordered him not to leak the news, otherwise he would be punished as a murderer.

After checking, Liu Youqiu confirmed that the two heads in the water tank of Zhang's father-in-law were Zhang Jide's two daughters, and it was calculated from time that someone should have thrown them into the water tank when Zhang's father-in-law went out to carry water.

Liu Youqiu pondered again and again, and was suspicious, who was the perpetrator? Where is the murder weapon?

There was no progress in the case, Liu Youqiu couldn't explain to Zhang Baoer, and he was quite uneasy.

Zhang Bao'er knew what Liu Youqiu was thinking, and comforted him: "Liu County Order, this case will not be solved in a while, I don't know where to go around here, Liu County Order might as well accompany me for a walk, how about it?" ”

Liu Youqiu knew that Zhang Bao'er was to reduce the pressure for himself, and said gratefully: "There is a Fuhe Temple not far from Qixingzhuang, if the adults don't dislike it, the next official will accompany the adults to go to relax!" ”

Several people came to Fuhe Temple and saw that the temple door was closed. When asked the reason, it was said that the Heavenly King Hall was closed and locked, and he wanted to reshape the golden body of the Bodhisattva.

Liu Youqiu identified himself to the abbot of the temple and explained his intention: "I have heard that the 'Four Heavenly Kings' of Fuhe Temple are not only eight feet tall, but also have unique sculpture technology. Today, I am fortunate to have a look, and I hope that the master will be convenient for me. ”

The host let Zhang Bao'er, Liu Youqiu and others into the temple and led them into the palace of the Heavenly King.

As soon as he entered the hall, the abbot felt something under his feet, and after a closer look, he saw that it was a long waist, a thick layer of greasy, and there were blood stains on it that were faintly visible, this was obviously the butcher's thing, how could the butcher's thing be in the palace of the heavenly king?

Zhang Baoer and Liu Youqiu looked around and found that there was something under the seat of King Tota, and when they picked it up, they saw that it was a dual-purpose knife for killing pigs and cattle, and there were also blood stains on the knife. The girdle was obviously used to wrap knives, and was dragged out by the rats.

Liu Youqiu asked the host to pack up the two things, keep them properly and keep them strictly confidential.

That night, Liu Youqiu lay on the bed tossing and turning, racking his brains to analyze the case.

The next day, Liu Youqiu checked again the line where the rat dragged out the waist under the seat of the statue in the temple. He walked out, there was a stone staircase on the left and right, and there was a waterway under the stone staircase, and once the temple door was closed, people could only enter the temple through this sewer. He walked down the ditch in the sewer to the mouth of the cave and found footprints left by people entering and leaving.

Liu You asked the host: "Has anyone ever been in and out of this ditch before?" ”

The host replied, "A few days ago, two beggars went into the palace of the Heavenly King for the night. ”

When Liu Youqiu heard this, he immediately ordered his subordinates to find these two beggars.

After much trouble, the two beggars were finally found. In order not to startle the snake, Liu Youqiu interrogated the two in Fuhe Temple.

When referring to the murder of Zhang Jide's two daughters, one of them, a beggar named Li Xiaosan, reported: "In the second half of that night, we saw a figure quickly climbing up to the back garden of Liu Tuhu's house in the market town. We thought it was a thief, so we spied on the thief and found that the man had buried something in the bamboo forest in the back garden, and then hurried away along the same road. We thought it was a treasure buried, and wanted to see it clearly, so we went to the place where the man had buried something, removed the hole covered by the stone slab, reached down and touched it, and grabbed a hard package. At that time, the black light was blind and we couldn't see clearly, so we ran towards Fuhe Temple with our things in our hands. The door of Fuhe Temple was closed, so we had to go into the temple through the sewer, and unfold the cloth with the help of the candlelight of the Tianwang Palace, and found that it was a long girdle, and there was a pig-killing knife wrapped in it, and there were blood stains on the girdle and the knife. We didn't dare to make a noise, so we hid our things under the seat of King Tota. ”
