At this moment, Xiong Zhutou and the others had already rushed to Chunhualou on fast horses.

When Xiong Zhutou came, the turtle who went to report the case had already told Xiong Zhutou about the general facts of the case.

Lu Jinping said to Xiong Zhutou: "You take down Dai Qiu, she is a major suspect, suspected of burning the Oiran Wind Butterfly." ”

The bear catcher hurriedly agreed, and with a wave of his hand, he quickly shook the chain and stepped forward to lock Daiqiu. Dai Qiu was so frightened that his soul was scattered, he had never seen this posture, and shouted in a panic: "Sir, someone hates Feng Butterfly more than me, why don't you arrest her?" Want to catch me? ”

Lu Jinping waved his hand, signaled to catch the fast to hold off, and asked, "Who do you say hates the wind butterfly more than you?" ”

"Her maid is small!"

Dai Qiu took a few breaths, and then said: "In the capital before, I have heard and seen this Feng Butterfly is very mean to her subordinates, beating and scolding and bullying at will, her maid is small and bruised and purple, although I have a very stiff relationship with her, but my maid is small and her maid is not bad." My maid said that Xiaoxiao had asked her to help rub the medicine, and when she took off her clothes, she was covered with leather whips or hair bun scratches and stabs, and there was no good meat, and Xiaoxiao once gritted her teeth and swore that she must kill the wind butterfly, otherwise, instead of letting her torture to death, it is better to fight with her. ”

"What do those prove? It only proves that she has this motive, but didn't you say it? You see that she has been in the gazebo, and she has not gone to the latrine at all, and when she went to the latrine later, she immediately screamed, "A little effort is not enough to burn a big living person to charcoal......"

said this, but Lu Jinping thought in his heart that even if the last time he saw the wind butterfly and heard the scream, the period was not too long, at most it would take a meal, even if the entire period was used to burn people. Fear is not enough. Unless special means of combustion are used.

What is the means?

When Lu Jinping pondered, Dai Qiu continued: "Xiaoxiao is killing people with evil methods!" ”

Lu Jinping sneered: "Evil law? What do you mean? ”

"I just saw her in the cowshed, pricking a little man with a needle. The needle was red, and it kept piercing the villain. He said through gritted teeth. But I can't really hear what he said because the distance was a bit far away and the voice was relatively small. So. Wind Butterfly must have been killed by the evil magic of this vicious maid who wanted revenge. Later, I saw her take the little man into her arms, and now I search for it, maybe the little man is still on her. ”

Lu Jinping sighed and looked back at Yunzi: "You go and search to see if she has this thing on her." ”

After Xiaoxiao followed Lu Jinping back to the hall before, Lu Jinping had already asked the turtle father and the old mother to detain her alone in a side room.

After Yunzi passed, she quickly pulled Xiaoxiao into the hall and knelt down, and then reached into her arms. After a moment, he took out a bag, took a look at it, and handed it to Lu Jinping.

The small face suddenly lost a little blood, and his knees trembled and slowly knelt on the ground. Because the use of evil magic to harm people in Tang Law can constitute a felony.

Of course, Lu Jinping would not believe that the method of pricking the villain with a needle could kill people, so he just pinched the bag with his hand, and it was indeed a human-shaped thing. He didn't even open his mouth before he put the thing in his arms. Said to Yunzi, "You take her back and lock her in the room first." Tell the guards not to embarrass her. ”

Xiaoxiao thought that she would definitely be imprisoned next, then tortured, and finally sent to the court to be beheaded, but she didn't expect Lu Jinping to even ask about the case, didn't ask her a word, and directly ordered her to be sent back. was really a little inexplicable, surprised and delighted, and looked up at Lu Jinping.

Lu Jinping had seen with his own eyes how Feng Die bullied this personal maid, of course he believed that this maid was full of resentment towards Feng Die, and this resentment made people sympathetic. There are also extenuating circumstances. These days, he has read Tang Lu in detail, and he has also carefully analyzed it, and knows that there is such a crime. He was not prepared to pursue this crime, which could not constitute a crime in his mind with modern science and technology, even if it was recognized as a crime by the Tang Dynasty, he would not pursue it. As long as he doesn't pursue it, this matter will be turned into a small matter, and no one dares to question his decision as a lord, because no one will see whether there is a needle in the bag.

After Xiaoxiao was escorted away, Lu Jinping fell into deep thought.

The incident that Dai Qiu said just now has become a strong evidence that Shi Qiu has been watching her near the gazebo where Xiao Xiao was at that time, and did not go to the toilet, so the evidence obtained from this inadvertently can prove that she did not have the time to commit the crime. Dai Qiu didn't understand the evidence, so she didn't know that this evidence could actually help her get out of trouble, but Lu Jinping didn't need her to take the initiative to use this evidence to prove that Lu Jinping had already made such a judgment. - Dai Qiu didn't have time to commit the crime, so it wasn't her who burned Feng Butterfly.

The rest, most likely, is only that He Gongzi.

Lu Jinping asked Guigong to see if He Gongzi had cried enough, and if he cried enough, he would bring him.

After a while, the two turtles came to the hall with He Gongzi on their feet. Although He Gongzi was still whimpering, he was no longer beating his chest and crying like before, and now, although he was also sad, he could barely answer the question.

Lu Jinping said: "Let me ask you, where were you before?" - I mean, after you left the hall, before you were captured, where were you? Who can testify? ”

He Gongzi sobbed and said, "I came to follow Fengdie and say that I would raise money to redeem her, but there were too many people, so I asked her to go outside to talk." ”

Lu Jinping said: "You don't think so, do you? I heard someone testify that you scattered all your family wealth for Miss Wind Butterfly, and in the end she ignored you, you took a kitchen knife to Qin Lou to find her desperately, why did you suddenly think of redeeming her now? ”

He Gongzi cried and said: "I have always said that I want to redeem her, from the first time I saw her, I said so, but she has always been unwilling. In the end, my money was all spent, and she didn't want to see me, I was really sad and angry at the time, but then I knew that it was actually ** that didn't let her see me! ”

Lu Jinping subconsciously glanced back at the inner courtyard standing behind him**, the middle-aged beauty Zhu Yunniang who still had charm.

Zhu Yunniang just smiled and didn't explain.

He Gongzi also saw the intention of Lu Jinping's glance, and said, "It's not this one, it's the old pious woman in the Qin Tower where the wind butterfly in the capital is located." The guy who can't die is not this beautiful sister. ”

Listening to his sweet mouth, Zhu Yunniang gave him a wink, this He Gongzi was stupid.

Lu Jinping couldn't help sighing, thinking that this He Gongzi was still crying to death for the wind and butterflies, but now he lost his mind when he was flattered by a beautiful woman, and it seems that he is also a flowery big robb that everyone loves. However, his affection for Wind Butterfly is indeed very deep, but this does not prevent him from liking other women at the same time. This is the difference between a lover and a lover.

Lu Jinping sighed, beckoned Gongzi He's distraction back, a little embarrassed, and quickly lowered his head and said: "I know that the rich man Ma spent a lot of money to buy the wind butterfly, and I have a good relationship with him, this time I came to think, I hope the rich man can see our previous brotherhood, don't embarrass me too much, let me redeem the wind butterfly." However, he told me that she had to be willing to see me, and she said no, and it was not easy for others to force her, so I asked her out to meet. Then I waited in a secluded gazebo in the garden outside. From there, you can see people coming in and out of this door. When I left, I came towards this door, I thought she would follow me, but I waited for a long time, and she never came, until these madmen came to arrest me, and I saw them coming at me in a menacing manner, and I was frightened, and there was no reason to talk to these people, so I turned around and tried to run, but they caught me and beat me on the ground, and caught me. ”

Lu Jinping said: "That means that you have been in that pavilion all the time and have never left, right?"

"Yes, I've been waiting for her there, I heard a loud noise, but I don't know what's going on, I thought someone was fighting or something, but I didn't expect it, but it was the wind butterfly who was burned to death."

Lu Jinping said: "This means that you don't have an alibi either, and no one testifies for you?" ”

"But, I've really been in the gazebo, I didn't come here, I didn't even know that the wind butterfly was burned to death, I really stayed there all the time."

Lu Jinping said: "Although you cried very sadly before, I can also see that you like Miss Wind Butterfly from the bottom of your heart, and you are really sad about her death, but it is one thing to feel the same thing, the evidence is one thing, since you have no evidence to prove that you were not at the scene of the crime, to prove that you did not have the time to commit the crime, because you have a clear motive for killing in front of you, so I still have to arrest you and take you back for interrogation." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiong Zhutou immediately waved his hand, and several catchers stepped forward to lock He Gongzi with iron chains.

The rich man hesitated for a moment, and said to Lu Jinping with a smile: "Sir, I can prove that he has never left that pavilion, and he has indeed been in that place all along." ”

"Oh?" Lu Jinping looked back at the rich man Ma, "How do you know?" ”

"I know that he likes Wind Butterfly, he has offered to tell Wind Butterfly several times before that he wants to redeem himself, but Wind Butterfly is unwilling, to be precise, it is the ** of Qin Lou who is unwilling to let go, because Wind Butterfly is a cash cow, and the money he can earn is far more than the money he can redeem. This time, I was able to dig her up to my Chunhualou, so to speak, at any cost, and the money on her alone was much more than the money of all my girls. But there is no way, many people are here for her name, but I didn't expect to be burned to death on the first day I came, I can't wait to break this murderer's body into pieces!
