Zhang Bao'er got straight to the point and said: "Brother Shouyi, it's okay to let me solve this case, you have to cooperate with me and listen to me completely!" ”

"No problem!" Wang Shouyi agreed very happily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two asked about the situation in detail, but there were not many useful clues.

So, they decided to interrogate Lu Si again.

Lu Si confessed that the person who was strangled to death by himself that night was indeed Yujuan, and he had not taken a fancy to her for a day or two, and he would never be wrong.

"Are you sure you strangled her to death at the time?" Gwenn asked.

Lu Si cried and said, "I admit that I strangled her to death, but I can't figure it out, I just pinched her a few times, and she vomited blood and died." How can I have that much energy?"

Ji Wen and Zhang Bao'er glanced at each other, Lu Si was no more than five feet tall, and his body was obscene, if he was allowed to strangle a woman to death in a few strokes, and it was indeed not easy to choke him to vomit blood. Could it be that Yujuan is not dead at all, it is just her trick? But why would she do it?

Just when Zhang Baoer and Ji Wen were at a loss, someone came to report the case, and another female corpse was found by the river on the outskirts of the city.

When he arrived at the river, Ji Wen saw the corpse's outfit, and his heart moved, and he asked Zhang Jin to be invited. Zhang Jin recognized at a glance that this female corpse was his daughter Yujuan, who was grief-stricken and passed out.

Ji Wen ordered Yujuan's body to be carried back to the yamen, and after examination, it was concluded that Yujuan was not strangled to death, but was poisoned by arsenic.

Zhang Baoer was overwhelmed by such a series of questions, what is going on?

At the same time, the arrester quickly found out that another female corpse was Liniang, the daughter of Zhao Manyu, a big family in Luzhou.

According to Zhao Manyu, Liniang disappeared two days ago, because Liniang usually likes to go out to play, so Zhao Manyu didn't think much about it, and he didn't expect to be killed. Another homicide.

Although Zhang Baoer is investigating the case for the first time, he thinks of the exchange of Yujuan and Liniang's bodies, and feels that the murderers of these two murders are either one person or must be related. Lu Si's suspicion is getting smaller and smaller.

Zhang Baoer's judgment Ji Wen basically agreed, and the two discussed it and decided to start with arsenic.

Zhang Baoer told Wang Shouyi what he thought, but Wang Shouyi didn't say a word, and immediately ordered the Luzhou Mansion to investigate the source of arsenic.

A group of fast officials took the order and left, and soon, the fast officials brought back Zhu Bao, the owner of the Rejuvenation Hall on the outskirts of Luzhou.

Zhu Bao said that three days ago, a man named Lu Si bought half of the two taels of arsenic in the Rejuvenation Hall.

Lu Si had sold arsenic, Zhang Bao'er was puzzled, this was different from his previous judgment, and he couldn't help but ask Zhu Bao: "Do you know Lu Si?"

"I don't know" Zhu Bao shook his head.

"Since you don't know each other, how do you know that Lu Si bought arsenic in your pharmacy?"

"There is a rule in our pharmacy that someone can't buy arsenic more than one or two at a time, and the buyer must leave his name, and my account book clearly says that Lu Si bought arsenic three days ago." Zhu Bao said and took out an account book from his arms.

Zhang Baoer took the account book and handed it to Ji Wen, Ji Wen opened it and saw that Lu Si's name was written on it, and the spearhead was pointed at Lu Si again.

Zhang Bao'er still didn't give up, he asked Zhu Bao, "Then do you remember what that Lu Si looks like?"

Zhu Bao shook his head and said he couldn't remember.

Zhang Baoer took Zhu Bao to the prison and asked him to identify Lu Si, but Zhu Bao never recognized him.

Lu Si also firmly denied that he had bought arsenic in Zhu Bao's store.

Soon two days passed, and there was no progress in the case.

According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, as long as there is human and material evidence, the suspect does not admit that he killed someone, which is also a capital crime.

Now no matter whether Yujuan was strangled or poisoned, the focus of suspicion is still on Lu Si.

After a sleepless night, Zhang Baoer hurried to find Jiwen.

The two talked about reconciliation for a long time, and Zhang Baoer went to negotiate with Wang Shouyi.

Early the next morning, Zhu Bao suddenly hurried to the county yamen, shouting to see Wang Shouyi, but the yamen blocked him from the yamen.

"I have something important to see Lord Joiner."

"No, the adults who joined the army are not in good health today, and all the idle people are gone." The official said politely.

"I just remembered what Lu Si who bought arsenic looked like, not the one in prison." Zhu Bao said eagerly.

The official didn't seem interested, and took Zhu Bao aside: "The army is ready to close the case and report it to the Criminal Department, so don't make trouble here."

Zhu Bao left very dissatisfied, and the official scolded "troublesome", turned around and entered the yamen.

Then Zhu Bao came twice more, but was blocked by the officials.

In the evening, Zhu Bao closed early, sat in the store and drank tea, when a knock suddenly sounded outside the door.

"It's closed and there's no business." He shouted, but there was no response outside the door, and the knock continued.

Zhu Bao impatiently opened the door, a knife was placed around his neck, and then a masked man walked in, closing the door with one hand.

"Y-What are you doing?" Zhu Bao was extremely frightened.

"You have too much to do, I'll send you to Hades tonight." The masked man said as he raised his knife and slashed it down with great force.

With a thud, the masked man's knife was knocked off.

A person standing in front of the masked man is Uncle Hua.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Bao'er, Ji Wen and Wang Shouyi, as well as a group of officials, had surrounded the masked man.

The masked man was taken aback, and he still wanted to resist, but he saw Uncle Hua dodge up and point at his acupoint, and the masked man was captured.

It turned out that Zhang Baoer had always concluded that the murderer who bought arsenic and even murdered Yujuan was not Lu Si, but someone pretended to be Lu Si. So, Zhang Bao'er asked Wang Shouyi to go out of the city overnight to find Zhu Bao, and let him hypothetically remember the appearance of the person who bought arsenic and deliberately did not let him enter the yamen, so that the person would definitely jump out and kill people.

Now this man has really taken the bait.

After interrogation, the masked man's name was Luo Ying, a small stone mining foreman on the outskirts of Luzhou City. Luo Ying refused to admit that he had bought arsenic in Zhu Bao's pharmacy under the pseudonym Lu Si, and his explanation for entering the pharmacy at night to kill Zhu Bao was that Zhu Bao had sold him fake medicine.

After careful identification, Zhu Bao determined that he was the person who went to the pharmacy that night to buy arsenic and said that his name was Lu Si.

Luo Ying still refuses to admit it,

At this time, Ji Wen noticed that Luo Ying's short knife was cast with the word "Zhang Ji", isn't Zhang Ji the signboard of Zhang Jin's iron shop, do the two know each other?

Ji Wen told Zhang Bao'er about his discovery, and proposed to call Zhang Jin for questioning immediately, and Zhang Bao'er and Wang Shouyi agreed.

Zhang Jin carefully identified the knife and said that the knife was indeed hit by himself, but he couldn't remember who he had hit it for. He didn't know this Luo Ying either.
