After Chen Hong stepped forward and knocked on the door for a while, the very dilapidated wooden door was opened, and then an unkempt man with bloodshot eyes appeared in front of them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info At first, he was very unhappy, staring at Chen Honggang in front of the door and wanted to scold something, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Yang Zhen and Wei Yong's clothes, and swallowed back the words in his mouth, and a trace of nervousness flashed in his eyes: "This ...... Chen Laoqi, what kind of trouble are you making here? ”

Chen Hong hurriedly explained: "Shi Cong must not be rude, these two are the poor masters from the county government, and they have come to inquire about the murder of the fifth child. I heard his woman say that he came to you at noon the day before yesterday, but yes? ”

"Heh, in the end, Chen Laoqi, the news is well-informed." Shi Cong glanced at him pointedly, and then nodded admittedly: "Yes, Chen Wu did come to me the day before yesterday to play tricks." But soon after dark, he left, saying that he couldn't rest assured that his delicate mother-in-law was home alone......" said very ambiguously hehe laughed a few times.

Hearing him say this, Chen Hong's face suddenly changed, and he immediately reprimanded: "Shi Cong, let me tell you, the fifth brother has passed away now, if you dare to be disrespectful to him again, I, Chen Qi, will be the first to spare you!" ”

Obviously, Chen Hong still has some power in the village, although Shi Cong is a shabby who has nothing to worry about, when he said this, he didn't mention those things anymore, but just looked at Wei Yong and them: "Do you have anything else to ask?" ”

Yang Zhen glanced at Wei Yong, and after seeing that he signaled him to come forward, he stepped forward and asked, "Can you really confirm that Chen Yang left after dark that day?" Do you remember what time it was? ”

"This ......" Shi Cong recalled carefully, and then said: "Of course, it was after dark, and he usually came to me to play money until the next morning, but there was something wrong that day, so he left early." I also told him that he wanted to leave after winning some money...... As for the time, I don't remember. ”

"Was there anyone else here on that day besides you?"

"It's gone. Before that day, the Chen family had just had a big fight with the Cai family opposite, and I heard that they had injured their patriarch, so Chen Lao Wu came to me the day before yesterday. When he said this, the corners of Shi Cong's mouth were slightly upturned, and he seemed to be a little gloating.

At this time, Wei Yong asked again: "You said he won money that day?" ”

"Yes, it's a lot, and I won back everything I lost a few days ago. Who would have thought that his luck would be so good the day before yesterday, but no matter how good it is, it's not a fateful flower! Shi Cong was a little gloating.

After a few more interrogations, and no other valuable clues, the three returned to Chenjiaao Village. At this time, several other officials had already asked about the same questions, and after using the food prepared for them by the villagers, and taking a filial piety of one or two pieces of silver, everyone left the Chen family's settlement.

After walking out of the village, Wei Yong looked at the officials: "What did you all ask?" ”

"Back to the team, according to some villagers, in fact, the dispute with the Cai family last time was all picked by Chen Hong and Chen An, the two sons of Chen Bo. In hindsight, they regretted it too...... "One of the officers busily said.

Wei Yong nodded, in fact, he could see that these villagers in Chenjiaao looked relatively honest, and it was really impossible to think of the vicious idea of cutting off the river and making the Cai family fall into a situation without water. Only those who have a certain amount of power have the courage.

"I found out that although Chen Yang relied on his deceased father and ancestors to have some surplus wealth, he was not liked by the villagers because he was ugly, especially Chen Bo, who called him around. And before that, he injured the patriarch of the Cai clan, and that was also instigated by Chen Hong and them. The other also told the news he had heard.

"Oh? Is this still related to Chen Hong? Yang Zhen turned a thought in his heart and looked at Wei Yong. Wei Yong also turned to the same thought, and after glancing at him, he also nodded slightly.

At this time, another errand officer said: "In addition, I heard from the people in the village that in fact, Chen Yang's mother-in-law also wore a green turban for him. ”

"Well, what do you mean by that?" Wei Yong asked hurriedly.

The man originally thought it was just a joke, but he didn't expect Wei Bantou to attach so much importance to it, so he said carefully: "The villager said that some time ago at night, he saw a man sneaking into Chen Yang's house. And he also saw Chen Yang coming back from the west of the village the next day, obviously not at home all night, which is naturally self-evident. And according to what he said, Chen Yang seems to have discovered something these days, so the people in the village can always hear him beating and scolding his mother-in-law. ”

"Sure enough." Yang Zhen and Wei Yong said almost in unison, but the other officers were stunned, did they already know that there was such a thing?

"Erlang, it's up to you." Wei Yong intended to let Yang Zhen show his hand in front of the brothers, so he arranged it.

Yang Zhen was not humble either, so he said: "Today, when I went to Chen Yang's house with the team leader and Chen Hong, I found that there was something wrong with that woman. Generally speaking, a woman who has lost her husband will always seem to have lost her soul, but she is different, although she looks sad, she is mostly pretending. And when she saw Chen Hong, her expression was obviously unnatural.

"Under normal circumstances, if the man in the family dies and someone in the village comes to the door, it is also a normal thing, after all, they are all brothers, and they must always pay their respects. But when the woman looked at Chen Hong, she was a little surprised, which was strange.

"Also, I don't know if you smell it, but there is still a smell of fat powder on the woman's body. A woman who has just died of her husband can't dress herself up anymore no matter what, right? So I thought something was wrong with her. ”

"And the coffin." Wei Yong saw that Yang Zhen stopped temporarily, so he added: "The coffin parked in the backyard is covered. In fact, according to our customs in Zhuji, people can only be buried seven days after death, and during this period, most people will not cover the coffin. Although the person is dead, the family always wants to see him more often, or hopes that he can come back from the dead. But the woman was good, and she covered the coffin directly, which is worth playing. She did this because she didn't want to see her husband again, or did she not want her dead husband to see something. ”

"Eighty percent is the latter." The servants laughed: "She must still be fornicating with someone, but Chen Yang has just died, and her bones are not cold, so she is naturally still a little scared, so she built the coffin, so that he can't see or hear anything." ”

After all, Yang Zhen didn't have any knowledge in this area, so he didn't see this flaw, but he still had other discoveries: "Also, when we entered the hall later, Chen Hong helped the woman take out two stools from the back room. Just looking at his familiar appearance, it is obvious that he has been in and out of the place.

"If what the villagers said before was true, since Chen Hong looked down on Chen Yang, how could he always go to his house? There is only one explanation for this, he came to the door while Chen Yang was away, which means that the man who was seen stealing into his house when Chen Yang was not there was Chen Hong. ”

"That's right, the person who fornicated with Chen Yang's wife should be Chen Hong. That's why he came forward to take us to ask about the case, which is obviously a sign of being a thief. Wei Yong also agreed: "He was afraid that if we went to Chen Yang's house, the woman would say something that shouldn't be said." ”

"Could it be ......" The nimble-minded person quickly thought of the final answer: "That Chen Yang was indeed not killed by Cai Yingyang, but Chen Hong......"

"No, no. If it is replaced, it is reasonable for Chen Yang to kill Chen Hong, why did he want to kill Chen Yang instead, he made a lot of money? Is it worth it to do something like this just for a woman? Someone objected.

"If it is an ordinary woman, it is naturally not worth it, but Chen Yang's woman is charming to the bone, and I am afraid that even a man is easy to be seduced by it. What's more, as you said just now, Chen Yang has already found out about this, and he keeps beating and scolding his wife, Chen Hong is not for that woman, just for the reputation of himself and his father, I am afraid that he will take risks to do this thing! Wei Yong speculated. Indeed, with the conservatism of this era, once Chen Hong's affair with others was known, it would be difficult for him and his patriarch father to gain a foothold in the village.

At this time, Yang Zhen added: "Moreover, Chen Yang has been going to Shi Cong's gambling money irregularly these days, even if someone wants to ambush him, it is not easy." Only his wife, who knew his whereabouts well, could grasp the time so clearly, and then call someone to ambush him in the middle of the road. ”

"And after the killing, Chen Hong went out of the village under the pretext of chopping wood at dawn, and used the identity of the first person to find the body to reduce his suspicion, and took the opportunity to plant this charge on Cai's head, which is really a good idea." Wei Yong couldn't help but sigh.

After such an analysis by the two, the case is really gradually becoming clear, and it is indeed like Chen Yang who Chen Hong designed to kill Chen Yang in order to occupy Chen Yang's wife forever. It's just that until now, all this has been just some speculation on their part, and there is hardly any substantial evidence at hand.

When someone put forward this opinion, Wei Yong smiled: "If you want evidence, it is not difficult." The so-called catching thieves and catching stolen goods, catching rapists and catching doubles, as long as we can grasp the fact that Chen Hong and the two committed adultery, the case will be logical. ”

"What do you mean?"

Wei Yong smiled: "You say, after today's investigation, will those two people be afraid, and in a weak heart, will they be in a hurry to meet and discuss how to deal with what we find out, and if we come back in two days, how should they speak more satisfactorily and not let us find out the flaws?" I guess it's always inevitable.

"So, as long as we sneak back tonight, we will naturally be able to take down this pair of adulterers and adulteresses who murdered their husbands. The case was naturally solved! Wei Yong said, a glint flashing in his eyes.
