Chapter 7 You Are a Murderer (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
Just when Li Caiji and Xue Xuexue were arguing, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Li Caiji guessed that the shopkeeper who had gone to call everyone in the inn had arrived. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Really!
"Lord Huang, the person has been brought!"
The shopkeeper wiped the beads of sweat from the corners of his forehead, and his short and fat figure was actually sweating profusely in this short period of time.
"Hmmm! Little brother, you see? Huang Wenyue set his eyes on Li Caiji, and now, this murder case is no longer in his control.
"Huh! The prefectural commander waits. ā
Li Caiji observed the people in the inn and saw that everyone was Qi Qiran. So he laughed,
"You all spread out your hands."
After everyone listened, they all did the same, Li Caiji observed the past one by one, and saw that the palm of the young man dressed as a scholar was slightly different. Li Caiji's heart suddenly had an idea.
"You and you are standing outside this door." Li Caiji's finger turned out to be the innkeeper who also brought it in, and the two people who were ordered were suddenly shocked, but there were many officials here, and they all looked at the two of them with fierce eyes, and the two of them couldn't, so they could only do it.
"You two do what I say, and there must be no deviation!"
Now, Huang Wenyue and Huang County Commander also felt that something was wrong, so he looked at the movements of the two with blazing eyes.
"The scholar is on the right, and the shopkeeper is on the left!" Seeing that the two of them did so, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Li Caiji's mouth. "Suppose I am the deceased, I heard the door of the boss outside the room, I walked out of the house, the boss did not have anything in his hand, just asked the guest to hunch down, and when the guest hunched down to listen to the shopkeeper's speech, the scholar who had been waiting for a long time took out the dagger from his sleeve and waved the dagger from top to bottom on the left side of the deceased, so the wound of the corpse just now was on the left side of the neck."
"You guy, how can you talk nonsense, this is my shop, why should I kill him?" The shopkeeper said with a thick neck.
"Huh! Don't be nervous, I didn't say that you killed it, I just substituted it, boss, are you in such a hurry? Li Caiji smiled at the innkeeper.
"I, I'm also afraid that you will frame people!" The boss craned his neck and shouted.
Li Caiji scoffed.
"The body is not afraid of crooked shadows! If the boss didn't do it, then there was no need to panic. Li Caiji looked at the innkeeper sweating profusely, and knew that what he expected was not bad at all.
"And the truth is, you and the scholar worked together to kill the guest who lived in this room." At the end of Li Caiji's words, he suddenly faced the innkeeper with a fierce voice, the boss just trembled vigorously, and the scholar ran outside when he saw that something was wrong.
It's just that so many officials have been waiting here for a long time, and the inn is surrounded like an iron wall, so how can he have a chance to escape. It's just that as soon as Li Caiji pointed out that he was the murderer, he was instructed by the Huang County Commander on the side to arrest him.
And several officials beside the shopkeeper put the bright sword to his neck, which frightened the shopkeeper and hit Luo Quan's leg.
"Let's take a look at the evidence of your murder!" Li Caiji walked up to the scholar, grabbed the scholar's arm with his right hand, and spread out his palm, only to see that there were five large yellow calluses in his palm. Seeing this, the Huang County Commander couldn't help but suddenly realize.
"The calluses on the palms of scholars don't look like this!" Li Caiji spread out the scholar's hand in front of everyone, and explained, "The scholar's hand holds the pen all the year round, even if there is a callus, it will be at the second joint of the index finger, but the calluse in your hand is at the root of the finger. ā
"Yes, yes! This little brother is right. Huang Wenyue was overjoyed, and he solved this murder case in a few hours, and his superiors must have rewarded him.
Huang Wen didn't know anything. "Then you just said that the shopkeeper is also a murderer, what is the motive of the shopkeeper?"
"Huh! This is a good explanation, the deceased stayed at night, and his behavior was already strange, but now it seems that it must be to avoid the enemy's family, get rid of the enemy's eyes and ears, or something in itself! ā
And all this shows that the deceased most likely knew who was going to kill him. So if he hears the voice of his enemy, then guess what the situation will be? Li Caiji's frowning brows suddenly unfolded, the most difficult part of this case is in this place.
"Oh! Then he must be running or shutting down. Huang Wenyue and Xue Xuexue said at the same time.
"It's just one of them!" Li Caiji inspected the furnishings of the room and saw that there were no traces of breaking or moving the furnishings in the house, and now he has a deeper understanding of the case.
"Oh? And also? Huang Wenyue frowned and pondered, but he couldn't think of anything else.
"You forgot? If it is an enemy, then even if it is dead, the furnishings and items in the house must be damaged or moved, but now, there is no such phenomenon in the house, so the assumption that the enemy knocks on the door or calls the door has been ruled out. ā
"That's right! Thinking about it this way, only the deceased would die so quietly when they were killed defenselessly. Xue Xuexue said with a smile.
"Miss is really smart! That's right, that's the truth! Li Caiji set his eyes on the shopkeeper, and when he saw that he had lost the momentum he had just now, he felt amused in his heart.
"Haha! It turns out that this is the way it is, you are a human-faced and beast-hearted shopkeeper, and you are still harming people's lives when people stay with you, and you are really innocent of death. Xue Xuexue said righteously. As he spoke, he pulled out the knife in his boot and was about to stab the shopkeeper in the body.
"Miss! Don't make a fuss, or you'll be a murderer. ā
Li Caiji was taken aback by her actions, and when he saw that she didn't stab down, he immediately sweated for the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was even more frightened when he saw this, and knelt on the ground and called his aunt and grandmother.
"And the owner of this shop must have just been coerced by him." Li Caiji looked at the man dressed as a scholar, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a trace of arc!
When the shopkeeper saw that the young man who had just accused him of being the murderer said that he had just been coerced, he immediately burst into tears. "This little brother is really powerful, just by looking at it, he said nothing wrong. This scholar asked me to take him to the deceased's room at four o'clock yesterday, but when I refused, he threatened me with a knife, saying that if I didn't do what he said, he would kill me! The villain was just a small shop owner, how dare he resist, so he took him to the room and opened the door. ā
"But I didn't know he was going to kill someone! You must know that this guy is going to kill people, and I won't take him with me even if I die. I also hope that the master will be clear! Humpty Dumpty's boss knelt on the ground and pleaded with Huang Wenyue with a handful of snot and tears.
"Humph! If you are guilty or not, go back to the county government to convict! Huang Wenyue saw that the two of them had already been ambushed, so he wanted to close the case and go back to ask for credit.
"Someone!"
"In!"
"Arrest these two traitors who have harmed people's lives back to the county office!" Huang Wenyue shouted loudly.
"Yes!"
The officials on both sides put the two in chains and brought them all the way back to the county office!
"Huh! Sure enough, he is a hero out of a young man, and this brother is admired by the official. Huang Xian Ling arched his hand. However, Li Caiji's identity was not mentioned, and he knew that the latter's status in the Hou Mansion was not too high.
"It's all thanks to Miss!" Li Caiji smiled happily, but he couldn't be so godly anymore, otherwise he would be annoyed to death by this girl in the future.
"Haha! Yes, no credit, no pride. Young people are good. ā
Huang County's order contains two good words in one sentence, which shows the importance of Li Caiji.
"Huh! The adults praised it falsely. Li Caiji arched his hand.
"Haha! I like your temperament, and I will have time to come to my house for a cup of tea in the future! Play chess. Huang Wenyue patted Li Caiji's shoulder and laughed.
"Since Lord Xianzun and I have the same hobbies, then don't blame me for bothering me then!"
"Haha! Good. ā
The more Huang Wen looked at this kid, the more pleasing he became, but he was in a hurry to go back on an errand, so he had to go back first. "I still have something to deal with today, so I won't accompany the county lord, and I will go to the Hou Mansion to disturb the Hou Ye in the future."
"Go, go, go!" Xue Xuexue waved her hand.
"By the way, Lord County Commander, there is still one more thing to ask for below!" Li Caiji bowed his hand and said a little embarrassed.
"Oh? Something straight to say. ā
"The murderer has been found, so do you think that brother is it..."Li Caiji said while pointing to the little guy in Tsing Yi. The meaning is self-explanatory.
"This... Of course! Huang Wenyue wanted to take that little guy back and teach him a lesson, but Li Caiji wanted to protect him, so it was no big deal!
"So, then thank you county!"
"You're welcome! We'll talk about that another day. ā
Huang Wenyue ordered the officials who were holding the little servant to let go, and then took the officials back to the house.
Watching the group of officers and soldiers leave, Li Caiji breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's broken!" Huang Wenyue walked halfway and suddenly patted his head.
"What's wrong, sir?" A soap officer hurriedly asked.
"Do you know what the young man's name was?"
"It seems that I heard the county lord call that rookie..."Soap Li said cautiously.
"Rookie..."Huang Wenyue chewed on the name. Then he muttered: "When did this Wuping County have such a character?" ā
