Lu Jinping nodded and said, "There are some clues, but it takes time to verify." ”

"Okay, you check it right away, you must catch the real murderer as soon as possible!" Feng Thorn Shi Dao.

Lu Jinping nodded, and said to the rich man Ma: "You immediately send someone to guard outside this latrine, no one is allowed to approach, let alone enter, just keep the same and don't move, and when dawn I will come to re-investigate the scene." ”

Then, Lu Jinping said to everyone: "Everyone go back to the hall, now the rain is getting heavier and heavier, after arriving in the hall, I want to inquire, no one is allowed to leave without my instructions!" Notify the Yamen Xiong to catch the head, and guard the entire Chunhualou on all sides, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

This time, Feng Tingshi and they came to participate in the celebration, so they didn't bring the catch. The rich man hurriedly agreed, and while ordering people to guard the vicinity of the latrine, he sent someone to ride a horse to the Yamen to report, and asked Xiong Zhutou to send someone to come to the letter to assist Lord Lu in investigating the case.

Lu Jinping said to the little maid again: "You come with me, don't go away, I have something to ask you at any time."

Although Lu Jinping's tone was stern, he was not as violent as Feng Tingshi. Cowering and nodding in agreement, he didn't dare to wipe the blood on his face when he got up, and followed Lu Jinping with his head down.

Lu Jinping and Feng Tingshi returned to the hall, and the others also came to the hall one after another, standing in the hall scatteredly, no one daring to speak. Thinking of the wind butterfly that was still like a flower and jade before, coquettish and abnormal, and crowned the Qinlou in the same state, it actually became a charred corpse at this moment, and I didn't feel sorry in my heart. Lament the fragility of life. At the same time, I also felt sad and sad for the withering of this delicate flower.

Lu Jinping Feng Tingshi sat down on the soft couch, his face was blue with anger, snorting and panting, Lu Jinping slowly paced in the crowd with his hands behind his back, but he turned around, but he didn't find the person he was looking for.

Lu Jinping looked back at the rich man Ma and said, "Is there a scholar surnamed He among the guests you invited?" I came to toast the Butterfly Girl before. Thin and dry body. ”

The rich man was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said: "Yes, he is a friend of mine, and he used to be regarded as a wealthy family, but later his family fell into the middle of the road." However, I am more affectionate, and he offered to come to see my Chunhualou. So I agreed. ”

"What about others?"

"Yes, didn't he come to toast with the butterfly before? Did I talk to him? - Where has he gone? ”

Lu Jinping said in a deep voice: "Find him immediately!" He has a major suspicion, and he must not be allowed to escape. And be careful, lest he jump off the wall in a hurry and hurt people! ”

When the rich man heard this, he was greatly surprised, and hurriedly ordered someone to look for it.

Feng Tingshi stood up and said, "Which one is Gongzi He?" Could it be that he burned my Wind Butterfly? Bring him quickly, I'm going to torture him!" ”

Lu Jinping saw Feng Tingshi's angry appearance. knew that he was really heartbroken and died a tragic death, and signaled him not to be impatient, Feng Tingshi sat down again angrily.

Soon, He Gongzi was dragged into the hall by several turtle masters, half of his body was wet, stained with mud, and he kept resisting and shouting: "Let go of me, why do you arrest me?" Let go. What did I do? ”

A turtle man clasped his fists and said to Lu Jinping: "Sir, this kid is in the garden pavilion." Sneaky, they want to run when they see us. We caught up with him, knocked him down, and escorted him back. Seeing him like this, he must have killed the Wind Butterfly Girl! ”

As soon as he heard this, He Gongzi's body shook violently and looked at the turtle who was speaking. Said urgently: "What did you say?" What's wrong with Butterfly Girl? ”

The turtle turned around and slapped He Gongzi, snapped crisply, and scolded: "You still tmd and pretend to be garlic, that is, you killed the wind butterfly girl, don't you admit it?" If it weren't for you. Just saw what we ran again. ”

He Gongzi was stunned, and he didn't even know the pain of the slap.

Suddenly, he went crazy and struggled to get up, but several turtle men were well-trained and well-trained to deal with this kind of troublemaker, so there was some kung fu under his hands, and a few people pressed him, where could he get up, a weak scholar, just roared: "No, how can Feng Butterfly die?" I said okay to let her come to me, I just wanted to tell her that I was raising money to ransom her, how could she die? No, no, you lied to me! ”

Lu Jinping waved his hand and asked the turtle to let him go first.

He Gongzi knelt and climbed a few steps, already in tears, looked at Lu Jinping and said, "Where is the wind butterfly?" Where is she? I'm going to see her, where is she? ”

He stood up like crazy and was about to rush out, but the two turtle males grabbed him again and pressed him to the ground, unable to move.

Lu Jinping said: "Feng Butterfly was burned to death in the latrine, didn't you do it?" ”

He Gongzi didn't know Lu Jinping, but when he introduced it before, he knew that this was the official in charge of the prison in the same state of the imperial court, and he was also a lord, and his status was second only to the history of assassination. Seeing him sitting there investigating the case, he knew that he was afraid that what he said was true, and the wind butterfly had died. couldn't help but stay there, looking at Lu Jinping with extremely miserable eyes.

Lu Jinping frowned and said, "You asked Fengdie to go out before, what do you want to do?" What kind of grudge do you have with him? Where were you just now? Who can testify. ”

He asked a few questions in a row, but He Gongzi didn't answer any of them, just looked at him stupidly, as if the whole person had been fixed.

Yunzi on the side whispered to Lu Jinping: "He seems to be too sad and confused, you have to make him cry quickly, otherwise he will go crazy." ”

This kind of soulless appearance, if it is serious, it will enter a state of soul loss, and the whole person will go insane. Lu Jinping had also heard that Chinese medicine had this kind of symptoms, so he sighed and said to a few turtle men next to him: "Take him to the latrine, let him see the body of the wind butterfly, be careful, don't let him enter the scene, just outside the latrine." ”

A few turtle princes agreed, stepped forward to grab He Gongzi and carry him, and dragged him out of the hall. Lu Jinping didn't speak, and the others didn't speak, just waited quietly.

After only a moment, I heard the heart-rending cry of He Gongzi from the direction of the latrine in the distance outside the hall. Soon, the cries got closer and closer, reaching the hall.

Hearing that he was able to cry, Lu Jinping was a little relieved. He's going crazy and in trouble.

Lu Jinping instructed the turtle prince to take him to a room first, let him cry bitterly, and wait until he locked the door of the wing room and closed the door, the crying was much quieter.

Lu Jinping turned his head slowly. looked at Dai Qiu, and asked lightly: "Miss Dai Qiu, where were you just now?" Who can testify? ”

Dai Qiu screamed, looked at Lu Jinping in horror and said, "Sir, you shouldn't suspect that I burned her, right?" ”

"You have a grudge against her, and she has always overshadowed you as an oiran. And you can only be second, and you have been complaining, so you have a murderous opportunity. I actually heard some of your conversation just now, so you have a serious suspicion and you have to find evidence that you didn't burn her. Tell me, where were you just now? ”

Dai Qiu couldn't help but panic a little and said, "I, I'm here." ”

Zhang Junbing Cao on the side. said: "Don't lie to Lord Lu, you can't deceive him, you weren't here just now." You told me you to go back and change your clothes first, because they got alcohol. You just went back, you didn't even bring a maid, and you didn't show up in a panic until after the accident, right? ”

Dai Qiu couldn't imagine that Zhang Bingcao would betray her at this time, and couldn't help but panic even more. glanced at Zhang Juncao resentfully, and said to Lu Jinping, "I'm sorry sir." I, I lied. My clothes got dirty earlier, so I went back to my room to change. ”

Lu Jinping glanced at her and said, "But your dress hasn't changed, it's still the same as before." ”

"I, I didn't have time to change it, and I heard that something happened to the wind butterfly."

"Wouldn't it? You've been out for a while. After such a while, it is enough to change two or three sets of clothes. Zhang Bingcao added, "Moreover, when the Wind Butterfly girl went out, you immediately followed her out." ”

This made all the onlookers whisper. Doesn't this make it clear that she will go out with her? And she also had a grudge against Feng Die before, had a motive for killing and a time to commit the crime, and the murderer was none other than her.

Dai Qiu panicked, knelt on the ground with a snort, kowtowed and said, "Sir, sir, I didn't kill her, I really didn't." ”

Lu Jinping said: "Since you insist that you didn't kill her, then you can show evidence to speak, you first say what you did just now?" I guess it's not going to change clothes. ”

Dai Qiu cried with a sad face, and for a moment, he whispered: "Yes, I, I can't get angry with Feng Die's flamboyant appearance, I want her to make a fool of myself, so I prepared a small bucket of feces and urine, hid on the rockery where she must come back, and splashed feces and urine on her in the dark night, making her stink." However, when I went to the rockery, I found that his personal maid in the gazebo opposite the rockery has been standing there guarding, and there are lanterns in the gazebo that can shine on the rockery, as long as I go to the rockery, she will see me, so I didn't dare to move, so I hid behind the tree, hoping that she could walk away, but she never did. Later, I saw Xiao Xiao go to the latrine. I walked to the rockery, and as soon as I arrived at the rockery, I heard screams, and then a lot of people came out. I was afraid of being seen, so I quickly hid in the shadows, and when everyone went to check, I followed from behind, only to know that the wind butterfly had been burned to death. ”

Lu Jinping frowned and said, "You said that you saw the maid Xiaoxiao in the pavilion in the dark, you can see her, has she already found you?" ”

"No, because I'm hiding in the shadows, and the gazebo she's in has a lantern hanging from it, so I can see her, and she can't see me."

Lu Jinping said: "That is to say, you can testify to her, she was in the pavilion at the time, and then went to the toilet, and then screamed, which means that she actually did not have the time to commit the crime, and you inadvertently became her witness, but because she did not see you, that is, no one testified for you, how can you prove that you did not commit the crime?" ”

"I don't know, because I'm hiding in the shadows by myself. This kind of thing must not be known to anyone. My personal maid didn't let me follow, she just wanted to hide after quietly drenching her with and urine, even if she suspected me, as long as she didn't catch the handle, it was useless, in this way, who else could I find to testify? ”。

"This means that you are a major suspect, and I have to take you down and go back and interrogate you slowly." (To be continued......)
