When the calf talked about this, he looked depressed: "I went back, came home, found a bone-break wine and wiped it, and then went to bed, and slept until dawn." The next day, I heard that Pang Yan had died in the widow's winery, and I laughed with joy, saying that God has eyes, and this is all his retribution, isn't it? This kid relies on him to have a rich old man, and he doesn't take people seriously, this is God's retribution......"

Lu Jinping sneered: "You say this kind of thing in front of Zhou Yuan, I don't think you want to mix in Zhoujiazhuang." ”

The calf was dumbfounded, looking at Zhou Yuanwai with a blue face, he was straightforward, and what he thought in his heart should be said, and now he saw Zhou Yuanwai staring at him with a blue face, and immediately regretted it. It is not easy for Zhou Yuanwai to rectify himself.

Lu Jinping said: "You said that you went home to sleep after a fight and slept until dawn, who can testify?" ”

The calf muttered: "I am single, a broken house, and the whole family is not hungry, so who can testify to me?" If there is a woman at home, why would I make a few pennies and throw it all away in Sister Chang's winery? ”

"That means you don't have an alibi?"

"What evidence?" The calf asked rhetorically, and it was true that he did not understand this relatively technical word.

Lu Jinping said: "That is to say, you have no evidence to prove that you did not return to the winery that night to kill Pang Yan, is that so?" ”

"No, but I really slept at home, I didn't come back, although I hated him, I really didn't kill him, I dreamed of strangling him, but it was just a dream."

He suddenly remembered that Zhou Yuanwai was standing next to him, and he was afraid that Zhou Yuanwai would hate himself even more when he said this. He really hated his mouth, he could say whatever he wanted, this time it was even more troublesome, peeking at Zhou Yuanwai, it was like a layer of severe frost had fallen, a pair of eyes were spewing fire, as if he wanted to come over and strangle himself, he couldn't help but shudder, and quickly lowered his head again.

Lu Jinping stood up and said to Xiong Zhutou: "Let's go to the calf's house to search for any stolen goods or anything, and see if we can find any clues." Then he turned to the widow and said, "Go with you, for I need you to confront him if necessary." ”

Widow Chang hurriedly agreed, locked the door, and followed Lu Jinping to the calf's house.

The calf's house was on the edge of the town, a very simple adobe house, without a yard, just one room, open the door and enter, very simple furniture, pots and pans were thrown around, and at first glance it was a bachelor's room without a mistress. In the corner of the house there is a bag of rice and a stone bowl, which is used to make rice, and it is estimated that it is a meal to eat.

Lu Jinping checked around his room, and when he checked in front of the wooden bed in the corner of the room, he casually picked up the dirty pillow and lifted it. Under the pillow lay two white belts, as well as a scarlet chest wrap.

Lu Jinping used the fingers of both hands to pick up the ends of the two belts and the scarlet chest wrap respectively, and slowly lifted them, the long belt and the chest wrap hung in front of him, very clean, exuding a faint rouge smell. As soon as he smelled this smell, Lu Jinping couldn't help but move in his heart, remembering the smell of Widow Chang's boudoir, the two were very similar. He turned to the calf and said, "Whose is this?" How did it come about? ”

The calf's black face turned the color of pig's liver, and he said curtly: "It's ......, I picked it up." ”

"Where did you pick it up?"

"Well, I picked up the garbage heap, I looked quite new, so I took it back."

Lu Jinping has been in the Tang Dynasty for half a year, of course he has seen and used the belt, as for this woman's breasts, he has also seen Ye Qingqing wrap his breasts with a similar wide cloth belt, so he knows what this is used for, so he smiled and said to the calf: "It's okay to have a belt, this chest, what are you doing with this thing?" Can you use it? ”

The calf was speechless.

Lu Jinping said again: "Which garbage heap did you pick it up?" ”

"Yes, I picked it up in the garbage heap of Sister Chang's wine shop, maybe she threw it away, I saw that it was quite clean, she didn't want it, so I picked it up."

Lu Jinping took a closer look at the belt and the chest wrap, there were no marks on them. He took the belt and went out into the courtyard, and said to the widow, "Tell me whether the belt and the chest are yours." ”

Widow Chang glanced at it, screamed, shy and excited, and kept throwing flattering eyes and saying: "Sir, why are you stealing other people's belts and breasts, oh, sir, you, if you like ......"

"This thing was found under the calf's pillow." Lu Jinping interrupted Widow Chang's words, "He said he picked it up in the garbage heap of your winery, is it yours?" ”

Widow Chang sighed, looking quite disappointed. He took two steps, took a closer look, shook his head and said, "I look like it, but I'm not sure because there are no marks on it." ”

"The calf said he picked it up in the garbage heap of your winery, is there a woman from the winery?"

"No, most of the people who come to my brewery are men. Even if a woman comes to help her family sell alcohol, she will leave after drinking, and she will not stay behind to drink, let alone throw this thing away. If it was really picked up from my brewery, it might be mine. ”

Lu Jinping turned to Zhou Yuanwai and said, "You go find three large, clean paper bags, remember that they must be clean, and they are not allowed to contain anything." ”

Zhou Yuan hurriedly said: "Okay! I immediately asked someone to make a few paper bags out of paper and send them to you, sir, to ensure that they are clean. ”

Zhou Yuanwai said and turned around and told the servants to hurry up.

Lu Jinping saw a rope for drying clothes in the yard, so he carefully put his chest wrap and two belts on it, and said to everyone: "No one is allowed to touch it!" Then he turned around and went into the house to continue his inspection.

He scrutinized all over the house and found nothing out of the ordinary.

At this time, the servant of the Zhou family, who was in charge of making paper bags, came back and brought a few new paper bags. Lu Jinping carefully took off the chest wrap on the clothesline, put it in a paper bag, and then said to the bear catcher next to him: "In the future, you will make several such paper bags to hold physical evidence." To do different models, but also to prepare some clean porcelain bottles, used to hold some liquid or liquid evidence, which is needed to inspect the scene, and on it are pasted with paper, write the place and time of extraction, etc., these are necessary to solve the case, remember. ”

In ancient times, solving cases did not pay attention to these standardized methods of extracting physical evidence, so Xiong Zhutou didn't understand Lu Jinping's request, but he still nodded and agreed, saying that he would do it when he went back.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Lu Jinping said to Xiong Zhutou and Zhou Yuanwai: "Send someone to call Liu Lao Er and take him to Widow Chang's house, I have something to ask him." ”

Xiong Zhutou hurriedly sent Zhutou to follow Zhou Yuanwai's servants to Liu Laoer's house, and then, Lu Jinping and Xiong Zhutou escorted the calf back to the wine shop of the widow's house.

As soon as they arrived at the winery, the servants outside the catcher and Zhou Yuan brought Liu Lao Er with them.

Lu Jinping ordered the calves and the widows to be taken outside and separated from each other. Then, he called Liu Lao Er into the wine shop alone.

Liu Lao Er was a little nervous when he saw that the yamen was about to summon him. At this moment, after arriving at the wine shop, he saw Xiong Zhutou staring at him viciously, and he was even more panicked, and knelt on the ground without waiting for Liu Zhutou to speak, and said, "The villain Liu Lao Er greets you." ”

Lu Jinping said: "We found that Pang Yan, the son-in-law of Zhou Yuanwai's family, died of murder, not drunk. We're investigating the case and you were there that night, right? ”

When Liu Lao Er heard this, he immediately shook his head, lowered his head and said: "The villain is at the scene, but the villain didn't kill him, besides, he is so strong, fat like a big bull, how can I have the strength to kill him." ”

Lu Jinping said: "We will find out if you killed it." Now you tell me what happened, from the time you came to the time you left to find the body. ”
