Song Ruilong said: "I already know these things, and now, I still have one more thing that you and Bi Xiao need to do." ”

Liu Tianxiong said with a smile: "I already knew that you wanted to handle the case at the scene of the crime again, so I brought you four officials for you to call, as long as you find out something, someone, and need them to investigate, they will go." Now, Bi Xiao and I will do what you said for you first. Say, "What is it?" ”

Song Ruilong whispered: "Bring Liu Yiqiang, the husband who is responsible for the shift in Baihua Lane, to this county." and brought him the same with the hammer he used to beat him. ”

Liu Tianxiong nodded and said, "Well, I'll go with Bi Xiao." ”

Song Ruilong looked at Wang Yu guarding Li Shuzhen's door again, and said, "Wang Yu, bring Li Shuzhen over." ”

"Yes!" Wang Yu simply agreed. After he took Li Shuzhen to Wang Cuihong's house, Li Shuzhen complained when she saw Zhao Hai: "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to run for your life? ”

Zhao Hai turned his head to look at Li Shuzhen and said, "Shuzhen, I think we should tell the truth to adults, and we can't let the real murderer go unpunished." ”

Li Shuzhen still didn't believe that Song Ruilong could make a clear judgment about the case and said: "But you have been to the scene of the crime, and the chisel and hammer are also yours, are you clear?" ”

Su Xianrong said: "Li Shuzhen, don't worry, Zhao Hai can't tell me clearly, isn't there still yours?" You tell him what happened last night. ”

Zhao Hai looked at Li Shuzhen and knelt next to him, and said, "Shuzhen, you have to believe in the adults, he will return us to a clean house." I've told you all about last night, but I don't know what happened before I arrived. ”

Li Shuzhen saw Song Ruilong sitting opposite her, she glanced at it and said, "My lord, the woman said." Last night, at the time of the third watch, the woman heard three blows with a hammer and a chisel outside the window, and the woman was so excited that she opened the door of the window. The women's clothes were thin, and she turned her back to the man shyly. But when the woman felt the man come down into the house, she immediately took her from the back in her arms. The woman was still very excited at the time, thinking about when Zhao Hai had become so active, and every time the woman agreed, he dared to hug the woman. There were no lights on at the time, and nothing could be seen in the dark inside the house. ”

Song Ruilong interrupted Li Shuzhen's words and said, "You can't see anything, how do you know if that person is Zhao Hai?" ”

Li Shuzhen blushed and said: "That person's actions were too rude, he didn't respect the wishes of the woman at all, the woman begged him not to be so anxious, but the man didn't say a word, and his hands didn't stop... The woman was a little angry and said Zhao Hai, if you don't stop again, I'll be angry. But the man paid no heed to the woman's words. The woman felt that he was not Zhao Hai, so she resisted and asked him who he was, but he didn't speak, and then the woman knew that he was wearing a night coat and didn't even show his head. The woman shouted to catch the thief, which alarmed the mother-in-law who was sleeping in the upper room. The mother-in-law of the woman scolded him with a stick in front of the door, saying that he was a bastard and told him to get out of here. The woman thought that the man would escape through the window, but he opened the door and let the woman's mother-in-law into the house. The mother-in-law of the folk woman held a stick, and when she saw someone, she raised the stick and beat it, and beat her with a dozen sticks, and the person didn't even dare to let out a fart. At last the woman saw that her mother-in-law had lifted up the broken stick, and she never put it down, and when the wicked man pulled out the chisel, the woman's mother-in-law fell into a pool of blood, and the woman was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she could not move her legs and feet, and could not control her body, so she stayed where she was sitting..."

Li Shuzhen also felt embarrassed, so she didn't say those words, but Su Xianrong and Song Ruilong already understood the meaning of her words.

Song Ruilong said: "After the murderer rushed out of the room, how did he kill the person outside?" ”

Li Shuzhen shook her head and said, "The folk woman was stupid at that time and didn't dare to look outside. I only heard the deceased shout that you killed someone, do you still want to escape? Later, the woman heard the sound of a person falling to the ground, and I think the person outside must have been killed by the murderer. ”

Song Ruilong listened to Li Shuzhen's words and asked slowly: "In this matter, you can be said to be a victim, you can report to the official openly, and then let the government give you justice, but then why did you say that you killed the person?" ”

Li Shuzhen lowered her head helplessly and said, "The woman feels that fate is too unfair to her, so she doesn't want to live." The husband of the folk woman fell off the cliff and died at a young age, and the folk woman finally found a person who loved the folk woman, but in the end she was obstructed by her mother-in-law, and in the end, her mother-in-law also gave her life because of the unchastity of the folk woman. The women thought that they were a disaster and a scourge, and if the women didn't die, then Zhao Hai was afraid that she would also be implicated and die, so the women decided to take all the sins on themselves, and sat down next to the deceased in the courtyard alone, telling others that the murderer was killed by the women. That Zhao Xiangchang also believed it, so he helped report to the official. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Li Shuzhen, think about it carefully, after the person outside the door fell to the ground, did anyone else enter the courtyard?" ”

Li Shuzhen shook her head and said, "It seems that there is no more." Oh, by the way, at last the woman heard the man in the courtyard scream and was silent. Then, it was as if the sound of a gust of wind blowing. Nothing else was heard. ”

Song Ruilong heard movement in the courtyard, so he glanced into the courtyard, only to see Liu Tianxiong and Wei Bixiao walking in with a man with fluffy hair, a collapsed nose, and thick black eyebrows.

Liu Tianxiong put the beating bang in his hand in front of Song Ruilong, and said: "This is the beating bang you want, this is the change husband Liu Yiqiang you want." I've brought it all to you. ”

Liu Yiqiang was wearing very ordinary clothes, with beads of sweat on his face, and when he saw Song Ruilong, he immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, Xiaomin didn't kill anyone, Xiaomin was wronged." ”

Song Ruilong said with a calm face: "Who told you that you killed someone?" Listen, there was a murder in Baihua Lane last night, two people were killed, you are the husband in charge of the shift in this alley, this county wants to ask you, what sound did you hear last night, or did you see anyone? ”

Liu Yiqiang hesitated and said: "My lord, when Xiaomin was on the watch, he didn't hear any movement, and he didn't see any suspicious people?" ”

Song Ruilong looked at the gap in the bangzi and said, "Are you sure that you were on the watch from the third watch to the fifth watch last night?" ”

Liu Yiqiang lowered his head, his tone was insufficient, and said, "Yes... It's the small people who are fighting. ”

Song Ruilong asked: "Then the county will ask you again, did you eat raw meat or touch lard before you went on the shift last night?" ”

Liu Yiqiang shook his head and said, "No." Adult, it's not easy for small people to make more money, where is there money to buy pork to eat? If you smell it raw, you'll get dizzy, let alone eat it raw. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Liu Yiqiang, this county will ask you again, who is the husband in charge of Wanshi Lane?" ”

Liu Yiqiang replied: "It's Zhang Liangmin." ”

Song Ruilong looked at Wei Bixiao and said, "Sister Bixiao, please bring Zhang Liangmin here, and bring his beaters over as well." ”

Wei Bixiao also complained: "What do you want him to do?" You don't want to check all the husbands, do you? When is this going to be checked? ”

Song Ruilong smiled and said, "I have my own magic use." ”

Wei Bixi went out and quickly brought Zhang Liangmin to Song Ruilong, and gave Zhang Liangmin's beating to Song Ruilong.

Song Ruilong wrote their respective surnames with a brush on Zhang Liangmin and Liu Yiqiang's watchmanship, and after distinguishing the two people's watchmanship, Song Ruilong also asked Liu Yiqiang and Zhang Liangmin to confirm that when they didn't have any doubts, Song Ruilong asked Liu Tianxiong to take the two people's watchmanship to the yard.

It was not yet noon, but the sun's rays were still dazzling.

Song Ruilong asked Liu Tianxiong to put the two people's beaters next to an ant's nest, and then Song Ruilong asked everyone to wait under the eaves.

Wei Bixiao asked puzzledly: "Brother Song, what are you doing next to the ant's nest with those two people's beaters?" Could it be that those ants can help you solve the case? ”

Song Ruilong smiled mysteriously: "Wait a while, you will know that this ant is sometimes more shrewd than humans." ”

About a tea time later, Song Ruilong asked everyone to watch the two people's beatings again, only to see that there were a lot of ants crawling on the beatings of those two people.

Song Ruilong asked Liu Yiqiang and said, "Let's see if you have made any mistakes in your beating?" ”

Liu Yiqiang nodded and said, "That's right, the pair on the left is Xiaomin's." ”

Song Ruilong looked at Su Xianrong and said, "Rongrong, you tell Liu Yiqiang and Zhang Liangmin that which of them has a problem?" ”

Wei Bixiao looked at it for a long time, and said strangely: "Sister Rongrong, there are ants crawling on the two of them, but the ants on Liu Yiqiang's beating are clustered together, and they are all in the gaps of the beating. But the ants on Zhang Liangmin's beating bangzi seemed to be looking for some food, and they kept running, although there were also in those crevices, but there were very few. ”

Su Xianrong smiled and said, "According to the different locations of these ants, you can determine who has a problem with the beating." ”

Wei Bixiao said anxiously: "Sister Rongrong, you hurry up and tell me the secret." ”

Su Xianrong said: "Let's take a look at Zhang Liangmin's beating bangzi first, because this kind of beating bangzi uses hollowed-out jujube wood, which is abnormally dry, and the bangzi has been used for a long time, and those woods are loose, and some small cracks will be cracked, and it is generally not necessary to replace it without affecting the effect of beating." Zhang Liangmin's beating was sweat, so those ants were looking for food to eat on it. However, Liu Yiqiang's beating bang must have some bloody smell left, so those ants will gather in the gaps on the beating bang, because the smell of blood is strongest in those places. ”

Wei Bixiao said in surprise: "What? The smell of blood? How can there be a smell of blood on this bang? ”

Su Xianrong looked at Liu Yiqiang and said, "This is about to ask Liu Yiqiang." ”

Song Ruilong glared at Liu Yiqiang and said, "Liu Yiqiang, are you guilty?" Let's be honest, how did you use a chisel and a hammer to deceive Li Shuzhen's window at the third watch last night, intending to do something wrong, and later Li Shuzhen's mother-in-law found out, and you were injured twice in a row? ”

Liu Yiqiang immediately knelt in front of Song Ruilong, and said in a panic: "My lord, Xiaomin didn't kill anyone last night?" Xiaomin didn't go to the watch at all last night. ”

Song Ruilong said sharply: "Go to the house and say!" ”

After Song Ruilong asked Zhang Liangmin to leave with his beater, Liu Tianxiong put Liu Yiqiang's beater on the table where Song Ruilong was sitting, and then stood aside to listen to Song Ruilong's trial.

Song Ruilong looked at Liu Yiqiang, who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "Say, why didn't you fight last night?" ”

Liu Yiqiang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "That's the case, my lord." Three days ago, when Xiaomin and Zhao Huaishan, the alley chief of Baihua Lane, were having dinner at Xiaomin's house, during which Xiaomin told a secret because he drank too much. Xiaomin told Zhao Huaishan that the widows Wang Cuihong and Li Shuzhen in Room 55 of Baihua Lane were really good. Xiaomin asked him if he was interested in the idea of beating Li Shuzhen. That Zhao Huaishan pretended to be serious, saying that he was not that kind of person, and it was not easy for a couple of widows, so let Xiaomin take care of him more. Xiaomin told him that this widow was not difficult to deal with, and I had been with Li Shuzhen's mother-in-law Wang Cuihong for a while. Then Zhao Huaishan said, why don't you get that little one? I thought of a clever plan at that time, and wanted Zhao Huaishan to help me breathe, because one night, Zhao Hai scolded Xiaomin, and Xiaomin wanted to wait for an opportunity to retaliate. Xiaomin told Zhao Huaishan that if you want to be good with that Li Shuzhen, it's not impossible. At that time, Zhao Huaishan poured Xiao Min a glass of wine and asked Xiao Min to tell him the method. This happened to fall into Xiaomin's trap, although Xiaomin was also interested in Li Shuzhen, but Xiaomin already had Wang Cuihong, and he was embarrassed to deal with her daughter-in-law again, so he wanted Zhao Huaishan to go. This Zhao Huaishan's reputation outside is not good, and many women have been ruined by him, so Xiaomin wants Zhao Huaishan to spoil Li Shuzhen and avenge Xiaomin. ”

Zhao Hai listened to it on the side, his angry eyes were red and said, "It's your bastard's idea to beat Shuzhen, I should have killed you a long time ago." ”

Song Ruilong waved his hand and said, "Zhao Hai, you caused today's tragedy because you didn't take care of yourself, aren't you responsible?" ”

When Zhao Hai heard this, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Song Ruilong looked at Liu Yiqiang and said, "What happened?" ”

Liu Yiqiang said: "Later, Xiaomin told Zhao Huaishan how Zhao Hai entered Li Shuzhen's room. Xiaomin said that as long as you hit Li Shuzhen three times under the window with a chisel and a hammer at night, at the third watch, then Li Shuzhen will definitely open the door, and then you can take advantage of the night to be happy with her. Then Zhao Huaishan said at the beginning, he was joking, he was joking. However, Xiaomin could see that Zhao Huaishan was still very interested in Li Shuzhen. ”
