Chapter 157: A Case Within a Case

Ye Qingqing's eyes rolled, and he suddenly kicked the head of the winter melon. ↑, the head of the winter melon fell to the ground with a muffled snort.

Ye Qingqing went out and rushed back to Su Laohan's house. When he arrived at the house, Lu Jinping was a little surprised to see that she came back so soon, and before he could ask, Ye Qingqing had already spoken excitedly first, and his voice was very low: "Sir, there is a murder on this winter melon head, he killed two people and buried them under the old locust tree by the Tongzhou River at the foot of Yunya Mountain." It is the younger brother of a man with a high surname. There was also a coachman. ”

When Lu Jinping heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, he didn't expect that he was actually beating crookedly, and he dug up a murder case. Hurriedly asked: "Where is the winter melon head?" ”

"I knocked him unconscious, and he's in the house, what now? Arrested? ”

Lu Jinping groaned slightly, and said to Ye Qingqing: "You immediately go and call Tong County to order them to come together, and go to Dongguatou's house together, we are hiding outside the house, you ask him in detail again, so that Tong County will let them know what is going on." ”

Ye Qingqing nodded hurriedly, and then walked out quickly, calling Tong County Ling and the county lieutenant.

Lu Jinping waited at the door, and after the two arrived, Lu Jinping whispered: "I found out that this winter melon head was murdered." The two adults went with me to listen to it. ”

The two of them were panicked and uneasy, if the murder concealed by Dongguatou happened to be the death of Su Laohan's son, it was that they failed to find out the truth of the matter, which can be regarded as a dereliction of duty, then it would be miserable.

Lu Jinping saw their uneasiness, so he patted Tong County Ling's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, this case of winter melon head has nothing to do with Su Laohan's son, it was another murder case that was inadvertently solved, after all, it is on your land, so you are still responsible for this case." Let's go. ”

Tong Xian Ling and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Lu Jinping to the courtyard of Dongguatou's house quickly. The servants crouched under the window and listened.

Ye Qingqing entered the house. The cold wine on the table was poured on the head of the winter melon.

It's winter now, and the wine is already cold, and it's even more exciting to pour it, so the winter melon head woke up quickly, and what he saw was still the cold sword on his neck. He could feel the murderous aura of the blade against his flesh. Although his head was in sharp pain, his eyes were full of gold, and his whole body was weak, he still struggled to kneel up at this time, he didn't know why this mysterious man knocked him unconscious, but he knew that there was no good fruit to eat this time.

Ye Qingqing said: "You tell the story of killing Brother Gao's son back and forth, in detail, and tell a lie." I'll cut off your dog's head right away! ”

Winter melon head hurriedly agreed, saying: "That day I went to a friend in Tongzhou City to ask for debts, but it didn't arrive, and then Gao Lao Er met me, Gao Lao Er is Gao Lao's younger brother, and he asked me if I wanted to make money. I was so poor that I couldn't eat, and when I heard this, of course, I agreed and asked him what his way to fortune was. He said there were two bodies that helped transport them to a place and handed them over to one person. can make a lot of money. When the time came, I asked him where to send it. He said that it would be sent to the capital and handed over to the shopkeeper of an inn. As soon as I heard that there was such a big and good thing, and that transporting two corpses to the capital could make a lot of money, it was too cost-effective, so I hurriedly agreed and thanked him. ”

And so. He took me to a farmhouse outside the city, where a wagon was parked with some forage, about half a cart. When he entered the house, two old women came out a few moments. Two hard bodies were taken out of the house and placed in the carriage. The two bodies were curled up, dressed in black, frozen hard. I immediately saw that it looked like someone had killed him. Because the right arm of one of the men in black was broken, and the arm was on the carriage, and there was old blood in the broken wound, and the other black man had a sleeve arrow stuck in his throat. ”

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing in the house and Lu Jinping outside were shocked, thinking of the day they went out hunting with Yunzi, and the two assassins they met in the ice and snow were ready to arrest Lu Jinping, but fortunately, Xiaoxiao suddenly appeared and cut off one of the arms of the two, and was about to subdue him to extract a confession, but both of them committed suicide, and the clue was cut off. I didn't expect to appear here this time, it's really crooked.

The winter melon head didn't feel the change in Ye Qingqing's expression, because there was no light in the house, he could only see a silhouette of Lu Ye Qingqing and the cold air of the sword on his neck.

He could only continue: "As soon as I saw this scene, I called Gao Lao Er aside, and I said that these two people seem to be wrong, this kind of thing involving murder, if you don't get it right, you will have to eat a lawsuit." Gao Lao Er was also very straightforward and asked me how much money I wanted? I thought about it and said that it would be at least doubled, not a single point less. Gao Lao Er went into the house as if to discuss with someone, and then came out and told me that it was okay. After they put the corpse on the cart and covered it with hay, Gao Lao Er told me to send it to a Yunlai inn in the capital and hand it over to the innkeeper, and told me the code word of the joint. ”

"I think it's not simple, I regret it a little in my heart, I want it to be less just now, it should be at least tripled, I believe they will give it too, but now I regret it, Gao Lao's second brother Gao Boss is a tyrant in the same state, he him off, and no one cares if he kills me and throws me into the river. So, I can only admit it. So I drove the carriage out of the courtyard and all the way to the capital. ”

"When I arrived in the capital, the defenders of the city checked it and poked a few times with their spears into the hay pile, I was worried that I would poke the corpse, but I didn't expect it to be a coincidence, so they didn't poke it, so they let me in. I drove the carriage to the Yunlai Inn, and after taking it, I left the carriage to them, and the shopkeeper gave me twice the price. I was very happy with the money, I didn't know the capital well, and I didn't want to spend money here, because the cost of the capital was too big, so I immediately returned to Tongzhou. ”

"After arriving in Tongzhou, I found an inn to stay, ordered a table of wine and food, called two singers to sing a little song, and prepared to serve me at night. was having a good time, and Gao Lao Er appeared. He drove both singers away. He told me that he was looking for this deal, and that he would at least share eighty percent of it, and I said why? He didn't do anything, he didn't contribute, why should he share so much. He must have received a favor from the man in the house, and he wanted to come and share it with me, which was unjust. I quarreled with him, and he threatened me that if I didn't give it, I wouldn't finish with me. He would tell his brother and tell him to come and trouble me. ”

"I listened to him, I don't know if his brother knows about it, so I want to stabilize him first, and talk for a long time, sure enough, he hasn't told his brother about it, and his brother doesn't know at all. He kept threatening me, and I was drunk at the time, and I was mad at his threat, so I pretended to promise to let him go back to his room and rest first, and I would call him back tomorrow morning. It's not negotiable to get drunk. So he agreed, and warned me that if he didn't see the money the next morning, he would tell his brother and take care of me, and I wouldn't even get a penny at that time. ”

I asked him where he lived, and he said he was also living in the upper room of the inn. It turns out that he has been following me all along. When he got back, I gritted my teeth and decided to him. This second elder Gao usually spends a lot of money, maybe he has money on him, and he just makes a fortune. In the middle of the night, I knocked on his door with a knife and saw him sleeping on the bed, so I stabbed him in the throat, and he died without a snort. I searched my bags and found that I had a lot of money, and I was very happy that I had made a lot of money for nothing. ”

So I carried his body on my back, covered him with one of his big clothes, carried him out of the inn, and told the man that my friend was sick, and went to Langzhong, and hired a horse for me, and I put his body in the carriage, and told the coachman that there was no need to go to the drugstore, but to go out of the city. My friend's relatives will come to pick it up. ”

"The carriage went out of the city to the old locust tree at the foot of Yunya Mountain, and I saw that there was no one around, and I thought that if I didn't do anything, I killed the coachman and buried the two bodies next to the big tree. After doing this, I was very scared, and I woke up from the wine, and I didn't dare to stay in Tongzhou anymore, so I hurriedly drove the carriage back to Tongguan overnight, sold the carriage in Tongguan, and took the money back to my hometown in Qilipu, stayed in my hometown, and didn't dare to go anywhere. ”

Ye Qingqing didn't know what to ask next. Although she is strong in martial arts, it is not her strong point to solve the case and ask about it, just now Lu Jinping instructed him to ask about it, as for how to ask, he did not explain, and he will not do it, so after the other party finished speaking, he didn't know what to do for a while.

And at this moment, there was a bright light outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and two catchers came in, carrying lanterns in their hands, followed by Lu Jinping and Tong County Commander and County Lieutenant.

As soon as he saw them, the winter melon head was dumbfounded.

Tong Xian Ling waved his hand and ordered the catcher to come forward and tie up the head of the winter melon, and was about to escort him away, but Lu Jinping stopped him and said, "I have something to ask him, and after I finish asking, you will take him away." ”

Tong County Commander hurriedly agreed, and Lu Jinping asked them to wait outside, so Tong County Order's people hurriedly withdrew from the room and waited in the courtyard.

Lu Jinping called a catcher over and told him to call Su Laohan to wait outside the courtyard.

The catcher didn't hear what the winter melon head said just now, and he didn't know why the winter melon head was arrested. I thought it was Su Laohan's son killed, so of course I had to inform the bitter master, so I hurriedly went to find Su Laohan.

In the house, Lu Jinping and Ye Qingqing sat on the edge of the kang, looked at the winter melon head that was locked and shackled by the iron lock, and asked, "You sent the body to the shopkeeper of the inn in the capital, what is his name?" What does it look like? What was said at the time? In detail. (To be continued......) u
