Chapter 156: What Is the Truth?
"That's a strange thing, why do you need to do anything if the prisoner was dead before he entered the prison?" Wang Buquan suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.
Li Canghai glanced at him strangely, and said in a deep voice: "Because the real murderer behind the scenes is worried that the prisoner will confess to him, this is why people kill people, if it weren't for the chef who cut off the prisoner's tongue in order to save trouble, it would be difficult for me to find the problem." ”
Wang Buquan didn't doubt himself at all, he sighed: "This is really 'Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky'!" If it weren't for Brother Li's thoughtfulness, I'm afraid that this truth would never be noticed. Later, did you catch the murderer behind the scenes? ”
Li Canghai nodded: "The real cause of death of the prisoner was poisoning, and the person who poisoned him was actually the official who arrested him." As for the murderer behind the scenes...... But he didn't give it an explanation. ”
"That's a pity, it's really surprising how deep the murderer behind the scenes is." Wang Buquan shook his head and said.
The corners of Li Canghai's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled: "Actually, this real murderer has been implicated in many murders, if the county lieutenant is interested, I can tell you." ”
"Of course I'm interested, it's much more exciting than on the stage, let's talk about it." Zuo Hongji hurriedly said.
"Yes, Brother Li studied under Dali Siqing and is well-informed, so let's have more knowledge." Wang Buquan was also full of expectation.
Li Canghai turned his wine glass and said with an indifferent smile: "Since this is the case, then it is the right to give the two of you a drink." ”
"Actually, the whole thing is really twists and turns. The prisoner was originally the family of a wealthy merchant who had been bribed to steal the wealthy merchant's priceless treasures. While stealing the treasure, he happened to meet the hostess bathing, and this person gradually became lustful, and tried to defile the hostess, but he did not want to be noticed by the hostess, and inadvertently killed the hostess. The real culprit behind the scenes was worried that he would be confessed by the prisoner, so he bribed the officials and killed people. ”
Wang Buquan was surprised, and the more he listened, the more ugly his face became.
Zuo Hongji glanced at Wang Buquan out of the corner of his eye, made a gesture of listening, and said in surprise: "Could it be that the murderer knows that rich businessman?" Because you are afraid of being recognized, you kill people and kill people? ”
Li Canghai nodded slightly, he looked at Wang Bu's whole body intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the murderer behind the scenes has an extremely close relationship with the rich businessman, and it is precisely because of this that the murderer cannot let the rich businessman know his identity." ”
"Why is that?" Zuo Hongji wondered.
In fact, the murderer's acquaintance with the rich merchant was a conspiracy, and if the rich merchant found out that the family was instructed by him, the rich merchant would understand what had happened. This is what the murderer does not want to see. Li Canghai squinted his eyes and said.
Wang Buquan's face was gloomy, he was holding the wine glass in his hand, and the green tendons on his forehead were beating faintly.
He looked at Zuo Hongji and found that Zuo Hongji seemed to be engrossed, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
"Tell me, what kind of conspiracy?" Zuo Hongji's eyes shone with excitement, and he asked expectantly.
Li Canghai picked up a dish and put it in his mouth, and said slowly: "This is a very complicated story, to put it simply, the murderer has long been interested in the wealth of a wealthy businessman. Two years ago, when the rich businessman was traveling abroad, the murderer secretly bought the guys around him, learned the route of the rich businessman, and colluded with the thieves to arrest the rich businessman. After that, the murderer led people to clean up the bandits, pretending to save the rich merchant unintentionally, so that the rich merchant would repay him for saving his life, so as to pay tribute to him. ”
Zuo Hongji understood what Li Canghai meant in his heart, and he had to do everything he could, although he already knew the relationship, he still had to show a look of surprise.
"This ...... How does this story feel familiar? Zuo Hongji's face was a little difficult to look at.
He raised his head suddenly, staring intently at Wang Buquan.
Wang Buquan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Brother Li, you have something to say, what do you want to say?" ”
So far, Wang Buquan has finally tasted the deep meaning.
"Brother Wang, it shouldn't be you and me that Brother Li is talking about, right?" Zuo Hongji pretended to be surprised.
Wang Buquan raised his eyebrows, and said with a straight face: "Brother Zuo, my Wang has known you for many years, don't you believe me?" ”
Zuo Hongji sneered in his heart, but his face did not show it, he smiled and said: "Brother Wang, don't misunderstand, I'm just asking casually and making a joke." ”
Wang Buquan's face instantly drooped, his face was full of anger, and he lowered his eyebrows and said coldly: "Brother Zuo, I have a heart-to-heart relationship with you, you can't mistakenly trust others to provoke." ”
Li Canghai smiled indifferently, and he said calmly: "County Lieutenant Wang, are you suspecting me of sowing discord?" ”
"Isn't it?" Wang Buquan snorted coldly, and said solemnly: "Li Cang, I am also respectful to you, what is the purpose of your doing this?" ”
Li Canghai looked up at the lanterns falling on the roof, and said lightly: "In order to seek the truth." ”
"The truth? What truth? Wang Buquan's eyes were slightly cold, and he stared at him and said.
"You, the truth about the murder!" Li Canghai paused word by word, and said sonorously and powerfully.
As soon as these words came out, Wang Buquan suddenly jumped up, he pointed at Li Canghai and shouted: "Li Cang, you don't want to spew blood!" What proof do you have for saying that I have murdered? ”
"Evidence, I have it, but I don't know what kind of murder evidence you want?" Li Canghai squinted his eyes and sneered.
Wang Buquan's face became hideous, and he suddenly understood that this was the purpose of Li Cang's banquet.
However, after all, this is his territory, and he doesn't believe that Li Canghai can do anything to him.
He couldn't produce evidence, and he could take him down for the crime of framing the court officials. Even if he really comes up with evidence, as long as he doesn't admit it, what can he do? The entire Zhengyang City is his sphere of influence, so why should he be afraid?
Thinking of this, he suddenly became relieved, sat back on the stool, and he glanced at the butler and asked him to transfer someone to come.
The housekeeper knew it in his heart, so he casually made an excuse and left the Songhe Tower.
Wang Buquan squinted at him and snorted, "I want to see what evidence you can come up with." ”
"In that case, let's talk about the first murder."
Li Canghai clapped his hands, and the side door suddenly opened.
Chang Feng came over with Zhu Wen, who was tied into zongzi, as well as the jailer winter melon, and the prison kitchen cripple.
Xiao Wu, who followed closely behind, also walked in with the two of them carrying a door panel covered with a white cloth.
Li Canghai walked over and lifted the white cloth, revealing a bleeding corpse lying underneath.
The moment Wang Buquan saw Zhu Wen, he secretly screamed in his heart, and when he saw that the corpse under the white cloth was the servant, he directly scolded Zhu Wen in his heart.
