Chapter 175: Not True
In other words, the suspects are not only Chen Chen and Guo Tao, and the speculation that Xu Ruyou said just now is also extremely likely, so the suspects also have to add Mrs. Lin and Zheng Tuhu.
However, at this time, Mrs. Lin and Zheng Butcher have nothing to investigate, Chen Chen is in Zixi County at this time, and it is impossible for them to go separately, so they can only target Guo Tao, as for Chen Chen, leave it to Ling Huqi of Zixi County, Su Wuming has a good impression of Ling Huqi, at least his ability and style of work are much stronger than Qian Sheng and Xu Ruyou.
After everyone made such a decision, the next thing to do was how to determine whether Guo Tao was a murderer, and for this reason, Su Wuming asked the official who had been monitoring Guo Tao to come back and report the results of the surveillance in the past few days.
After the officials came back, they told them the results of their surveillance, but from the mouths of the officials, they didn't seem to have any particularly useful discoveries, so Guo Tao still stayed at home, didn't go anywhere, and didn't do anything except eat and sleep all day. However, it is not that they have not heard anything, at least these officials found that Guo Tao could not sleep peacefully every night.
After listening to the words of the servant, Lin Yun couldn't wait to say, "This Guo Tao must have a ghost!" ”
If Guo Tao can't sleep, it's really strange, it makes sense to say that he has a ghost in his heart, but solving the case pays attention to evidence, just because he can't sleep at night, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything to him.
And at this time, they can't go on like this forever, if Guo Tao just hides at home without any action, then even if he is a murderer, Su Wuming and they can't do anything to him, so they have to find a way to beat this Guo Tao.
But how do you do it?
Everyone fell into deep thought, but soon, Su Wuming hurriedly asked: "This Guo Tao has been staying at home, I don't know about Lin Huan's body being found, right?" ”
"I don't know!"
"In that case, let him know the news, and then see how he reacts, but this matter must be kept secret, so that he can't see any flaws."
After Su Wuming gave such an order, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun immediately took the order and left, and only the two of them could solve such a thing.
After being assigned like this, everyone waited for the news, but while waiting for the news, Su Wuming asked Xu Ruyou to send someone to investigate to see what kind of weakness or personality that Guo Tao had.
The night is getting deeper, the cold wind is even more miserable, there are no stars and no moon tonight, everyone goes back to their rooms to rest, the next morning, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun rushed over, after they saw Su Wuming, they immediately said: "This Guo Tao is really very suspicious." ”
"Oh, but what did you find?"
Lin Yun nodded again and again, and said: "Exactly, we pretended to be a passerby walking past his door and told him about Lin Huan's body being found. ”
"That's right, it's hard not to let us suspect this kind of behavior like Guo Tao."
After listening to Lin Yun and Jiang Ying's words, Su Wuming nodded with satisfaction, if this is the case, then there is a great possibility that this Guo Tao is the murderer, but next, how can they make Guo Tao admit that he killed someone?
It was raining heavily at the time, and I am afraid that there was no eyewitness except for the parties, so it was obviously impossible to prove that the murderer was Guo Tao by looking for witnesses.
Originally, as a court official, it was not suitable to use intrigues and tricks on the people, and even if he won after using it and gained benefits for himself, after this matter was heard by other people, it was inevitable to degrade the image of this court official.
So under normal circumstances, some officials disdain to use this method to deal with the people, but Su Wuming doesn't mind, he is a person from Dali Temple, Dali Temple is the place where the case is judged, and in the face of all kinds of vicious criminals, they can't do too much.
But what kind of conspiracy should be used to make Guo Tao admit his crime? Torture him? I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public. Coercion and temptation against him? This is even worse, murder is a capital crime, then Guo Tao is not a stupid person, he will definitely not admit it.
After thinking about it, everyone didn't think of anything, and in the end they could only wait for the results of the investigation by the people sent by Xu Ruyou.
Around noon, those people brought results, and the results were not very many, after the official finished speaking, Su Wuming secretly thought about it, and finally suddenly asked: "You say that although this Guo Tao has a bad character, he has very little courage, and is even afraid of ghosts?" ”
"That's right, he didn't dare to listen to ghost stories before he heard about them, but the more he didn't dare to listen, the more he believed that there were ghosts in this world, which was ridiculous!"
Most of the people in the world are contradictory, those who like it dare not admit it, those who hate it can't say it, knowing that there are no ghosts in this world, but some people force themselves to believe it;
Su Wuming touched his chin, then smiled lightly, and said, "Since this Guo Tao is afraid of ghosts, then let's put on a show tonight!" ”
Everyone looked at each other and laughed silently.
The night was getting deeper, the cold wind was howling, even the already bare branches were a little unbearable, tonight was a little dark, the sound of the cold wind was like a devil crying, and occasionally one or two wild cats meowed with a sharp voice, making the night even more eerie.
Guo Tao lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, his eyes were empty, lying on the bed waiting for the bed curtain, he didn't move, people were a little puzzled, it was dark outside, but there was a lamp in Guo Tao's room, the lamp was not very bad, occasionally a gust of wind blew in through the window lattice, blowing the lamp that was not extinguished.
I don't know how long it took, Guo Tao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly took a deep breath, and then sighed again, and then, he pulled the quilt covering his body, ready to cover his head, he knew very well that it was time for him to sleep, if he didn't sleep like this, he would not be able to stand it.
But at this time, there was a sudden cat meow outside, the cat's voice seemed to be the cry of a newborn child, which made people tremble in their hearts, Guo Tao heard the cat meow, and immediately sat up from the bed in fright, but as soon as he sat up, a gust of wind suddenly blew, the wind was not very strong, but it just blew out the lamp.
The room suddenly became dark, and the wind whimpered, like a ghost coming out of hell.
Guo Tao's hands were trembling, he retreated to the corner, then pulled the futon and hugged it in his arms, kept shaking his head, kept shaking his head, and muttered some words in his mouth, but the voice of the words he said was too small to be heard at all, and the wind outside was very loud, and his voice was suppressed by the wind.
Guo Tao muttered like this, and his heart was a little more settled, but at this time, his window suddenly opened, and then a voice seemed to come from the beams of the house, as if from under the bed, and as if it came from hell, faintly came into Guo Tao's ears: "I died so unjustly, so unjustly, you killed me, you killed me and decomposed my corpse, you are so cruel, I let me not keep the whole corpse, you let me be a ghost and I can't be reincarnated, I want you to pay for my life......"
The voice was very poignant, as if a ghost was floating in the wilderness, and this sound was really frightening to hear under the wind, Guo Tao was so frightened that he couldn't help but pee his pants, he kept waving his hand: "Don't come over...... Don't come here...... I didn't mean to kill it, if you hadn't done it first, I wouldn't have killed you......" Speaking of this, Guo Tao suddenly knelt down from the bed: "Lin Huan...... You hurry up, as long as you bypass me this time, I will definitely burn a lot of paper money for you, and ask you a mage to do it, so that he can be reincarnated, you believe me......"
Guo Tao said a lot of words, and when he said these words, the whole room suddenly quieted down, as if the wind outside had stopped, and suddenly, a light lit up in the room, and the light slowly illuminated Guo Tao's frightened face from far and near, but when the light hit Guo Tao's face, Guo Tao had already seen a person in his room, and when he saw that person, it was like seeing a ghost.
Of course, this person is not a ghost, but he looks like a ghost, and it is hard to believe who he is when he suddenly appears in the house.
The person who broke into the house ruffled his messy hair, and then smiled lightly at Guo Tao: "This time, let's catch your handle, see what else you have to quibble!" This person pretending to be a ghost is Lin Yun, and after he said these words, Guo Tao's door creaked open, and then a few people walked in the cold wind, these people were very calm, and the pace was very light, after they came in, Guo Tao suddenly knelt on the ground, and now he already understood what was going on, so he felt that only begging for mercy was the best way.
However, just when he knelt down and was about to beg for mercy, when Su Wuming and the others, who had just come in, had just relaxed their vigilance, he suddenly jumped up and wanted to escape from the window, he was not stupid, he had already admitted to killing Lin Huan just now, and now it is useless to beg for mercy, if you want to live, you can only escape.
But there are so many people in the house, how can one Guo Tao be allowed to escape in front of them? When Guo Tao just got up and was about to escape, Lin Yun flew away, stretched out his hand and grabbed his clothes, and then pulled Guo Tao back who had just reached the edge of the window, and when he pulled it back, Lin Yun didn't forget to make up for it, so when Guo Tao was pulled and fell to the ground, he could no longer get up and escape.
Lin Yun was a little angry and sneered: "You kid, you dare to play tricks in front of us, you really don't know what you can do!" As he spoke, he kicked it again.
