Chapter 40: Bloodstained and Bloodstained

The county lord picked up the chrysanthemum gold ring that was taken off his finger bones and asked the owner of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, "Have you seen this ring?" ”

Miao Miao covered her lips with a handkerchief and made a surprised look, "Isn't this the love ornament of Liu Xia in our pavilion?" When did it get into my brother's hands? ”

The county magistrate raised his lips slightly, "Come on, Miao, you must have heard some rumors before you deliberately came to the county office, right?" ”

"Tsk, why don't you say that my brother is amazing?" Miao Miao didn't mean to hide it at all, and said crisply, "Before the tea ceremony, the shopkeeper of Tian Ji Gold Jewelry brought a message, saying that the yacha took Liu Xia's ring and went to him to inquire. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I was worried about not being able to find Liu Xia, and when I heard a little eyebrow here, I hurriedly came. ”

"That's right, this official did get this gold ring. However, it was removed from a severed finger bone. The county magistrate's sharp eyes stared at Miao, trying to see some clues from her face.

"Yo," Miao Miao pretended to be frightened, clutching her handkerchief and patting her chest, "No wonder I was dreamed of by Miao Miao on the way I came last night." She was covered in blood at the time, saying that she had been killed by a gangster with many fingers. Oh my God, it's scary to think about. ”

Hearing the words, everyone in the hall was amazed.

The ghosts and gods say that dreams are ridiculous, but in the streets and alleys, there are always rumors of the fulfillment of these dreams, and people can't help but believe it.

Moreover, the owner of that ring is indeed the missing Liu Xia.

Could it really be that something happened to her?

The county magistrate glanced at the misty in the hall, and was about to speak, when the yacha who was in charge of going to Wang Lezi's house to find the evidence trotted back, "Return to the master, the evidence has been retrieved." ”

He spread the evidence he had brought with him on the ground and retreated to the train.

I saw that the ground was not covered with an ordinary wrapping cloth, but two pieces of clothing.

They vary in size, and although they are stained with blood, they can still be seen to be made of fine materials.

The large one was gauzy and silky, and looked like a tunic; The small one is boxy, with a few straps sewn on it, which should be a close-fitting bandeau.

Li Mo looked at it and smacked his tongue secretly, these minced meat wraps are clearly close-fitting clothes, I'm afraid only Wang Lezi, the fool with a brain that lacks strings, dares to pick it up!

You must know that this bandeau is a woman's most intimate profane clothes, and even after washing, it has to be dried on people's backs, and it will not appear in front of people easily, let alone discard it with a big grin.

But the filthy-looking Wang Lezi not only picked it up, but also had the audacity to take the meat inside and sell it, I really don't know if his brain was kicked by a donkey.

And he was reluctant to throw away these two pieces of clothing, so he even stuffed them under the bed, which was really speechless, so disgusting!

Li Mo was secretly rubbing and scolding Wang Lezi for being perverted, and the boss of the Nuan Xiang Pavilion over there covered his handkerchief with his hand, and cried not very sadly, "Boom, my miserable Liu Xia!" You've got all your close-fitting clothes and gold ornaments here, but where have you gone? ”

"Miao, this official asked you, how can you confirm that they are Liu Xia just by relying on two profane clothes?" The county magistrate interrupted Miao's dry howl without tears and asked softly.

"The girls in our Warm Fragrance Pavilion are all specially provided for the dirty clothes inside, and there are small characters embroidered on the corners, just for fear of duplication. I only arrived last night. But I know all the colors and fabrics that the girls wear on weekdays. Liu Xia's dirty clothes are all thin silk and hibiscus purple. ”

Miao Miao said and pointed to the physical evidence on the ground, "I don't have any other skills, but I have good eyes, and I can see the Xia character embroidered on the corner of the chest when I stand here." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the spiritual yacha leaned over to take a closer look at the two clothes, got up and replied, "Master, these two clothes are really embroidered with the word Xia. ”

"It seems that these things are indeed Liu Xia's girl's," the county magistrate said and patted the awakening wood, "Wang Lezi!" Say, "How did you get these two bloody tunics?" But the girl Liu Xia was murdered! ”

When the leper who was kneeling in the hall heard this, he trembled with fright and his face was covered with cold sweat.

He was drunk that day, thinking that he had picked up minced meat left by others, and thinking that he could not finish eating it, so he took it and sold it on the street. Now that I hear this, those minced meat can't be minced human flesh, right?

"Wronged, sir! The villain doesn't have the courage to kill! If the little one kills someone, he must not destroy the physical evidence quickly? How could there be these two clothes hidden! Small, small, yes! ”

Wang Lezi seemed to remember something, shook his hand and took out a crumpled money bag from the placket of his underwear, and held it high above his head, "Master, I also picked up this money bag that day, and there were some scattered silver in it, which had been spent by the small one." Perhaps, maybe the owner of this money bag is the real suspect. ”

This is a hemp gray money bag, the style is very ordinary, the kind that can be bought at random on the street.

The county master watched it for a long time, but he didn't find anything, and the big one threw the money bag out, "Dare to mess with the people, dare to fool this master, don't move the big punishment to forgive you for not recruiting!" Left and right, the first cane is twenty! ”

"Wronged! Master, what the villain said is true, wronged! Wang Lezi begged for mercy repeatedly, but he couldn't resist the strong servants like tigers and wolves, and his pants were stripped off in three or two strokes, revealing white rotten flesh, and he was firmly on the board.

Twenty strokes of the board came down, and Wang Lezi had already gone to half his life, lying on the hall dying, unable to even beg for mercy.

Li Mo glanced at the cowardly Wang Lezi, clutched the money bag he picked up at his feet, and suddenly said, "Master, the villain has something to say." ”

"Speak."

Li Mo rolled down the money bag slightly, revealing the embroidered words inside, and presented it to the county magistrate, "Master, the villain just found out that this money bag is embroidered with the word Xu." ”

"Oh?" The county magistrate looked at the place pointed by Li Mo, and sure enough, he found that on the inside of the money bag, there was Xu Zi embroidered with the same color. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to see it at all.

"In our Zhenjiang City, only the medicine merchant Xu Yuanwai's family is surnamed Xu, it seems that Master Ben needs to make a special trip to Xu's mansion." When the county magistrate said this, he ordered, "Throw the people of Wang Lezi into prison first." You, you, and you go to Xu's Mansion with Master Ben and retire! ”

The county magistrate ordered Li Mo, Zhao Wu and the long-faced yacha, and prepared to go to Xu's mansion to visit Master Xu.

Miao Miao suddenly opened her mouth, "Brother, I wonder if Miao Miao can go along?" ”

The county magistrate glanced at Miao Miao and said, "It's a good way, but if Xu Yuanwai refuses to see you at that time, this official can't help you." ”

"Of course," Miao Miao smiled coquettishly, "they are all neighbors, and if you want to come to Xu Yuanwai or something, you shouldn't mind if you want to come to Xu Yuanwai." ”
