Chapter 355: There's something wrong with this tomb
Six months ago, Li Tao found Xie Chunmei, the proprietress of Chunyu Building, and through Xie Chunmei, he met Xiao Taohong, who had flower willow disease.
Xiao Taohong passed the flower willow disease to Du Zhuangxiong, but Xiao Taohong wanted to blackmail Li Tao and ask Li Tao to marry her, Li Tao was unwilling, so he came up with a poisonous plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Li Tao put on Liu Qingrui's clothes last night and found Langzhong Zhao Zhiliang, and the two teamed up to trick Du Zhuangwei into buying a seven-step lying snake venom for Du Zhuangxiong to take, and then tricked Xiao Taohong into writing a suicide note in the name of Liu Qingrui, and poisoned Xiao Taohong.
Li Tao knew that he was guilty, so he committed suicide.
When Song Ruilong was reading the will, Wei Bixiao was also watching it seriously, and after Wei Bi read the will, she was still a little confused, and said: "Brother Song, this relationship is really complicated enough, it is not difficult to see from the content of the will that Li Tao did all these things." Li Tao pretended to be Liu Qingrui and Du Zhuangwei to make a business and killed Du Zhuangxiong, and then, he pretended to be Liu Qingrui and killed Xiao Peach with a seven-step lying snake venom, his purpose was to get rid of Xiao Taohong's threat. Li Tao knew that he was guilty of heinous crimes, so he committed suicide. Brother Song, I think this case can be closed. ”
Song Ruilong took the will in his hand, thought about it carefully, and said: "At present, we have this will, and we have the evidence that Li Tao is pretending to be Liu Qingrui, it seems that Li Tao is the murderer who killed Du Zhuangxiong and Xiao Taohong, but how do I think this case is not so simple, we seem to have been pulled by the nose all the time." ”
Wei Bixi's eyes flashed, and he said, "Is it that Brother Song has been tired lately, so he thinks too complicated about this case?" ”
Song Ruilong said with a calm face: "I'm afraid things are not that simple. If Li Tao did all this, then why did Zhao Zhiliang die in Liu Qingrui's house? ”
Wei Bixi was silent for a moment and said, "This ......"
Song Ruilong said: "Zhao Zhiliang's death must be related to Liu Qingrui. However, why did Li Tao trick Zhao Zhiliang into going to Liu Qingrui's house? This mystery must be solved in order to solve the case. ”
Wei Bixiao nodded, feeling that what Song Ruilong said was reasonable.
Song Ruilong asked Wei Bixiao to go to the yamen and brought four officials to Li Tao's house.
The four officials carried Li Tao's body back to the yamen. Song Ruilong said to Wei Bixi: "Li Tao's death is very strange, let's ask people who are close to Li Tao."
Song Ruilong and Wei Bixi knocked on the door next door to the right of Li Tao's house.
The one who opened the door was a man in his forties, his eyes rolled a few times, and he looked at Song Ruilong and Wei Bixi in surprise and said, "Who are you looking for?"
Wei Bixiao flashed the waist card of the tolerance case to him, and said solemnly: "We are the tolerance of the county government, and we want to know a little about the situation."
The man nodded slightly. His face was a little weird, and he said, "Come in!"
Song Ruilong and Wei Bixiao followed the man into the upper room.
After they all sat down, the man said, "Xiaomin Zhou Liang, just ask if the two messengers have anything."
Song Ruilong said: "Zhou Liang, I want to ask you, do you know the person who lives next door to your left?"
Zhou Liang lowered his head and said, "Oh, I know." His name is Li Tao, and he is in his fifties this year. Work as a housekeeper in Qingrui Medicinal Material Store. ”
Song Ruilong said with joy in his heart: "Then what do you think of Li Tao?"
Zhou Liang thought for a while and said, "Li Tao is a kind person and a great filial son. His mother had a serious illness three months ago, and she couldn't take care of herself, eating and drinking in bed, but Li Tao never disliked his mother for being dirty, he instead invited someone for his mother. Dedicated to taking care of his mother. A filial son like this is really hard to find in our Ping'an County. Zhou Liang raised his head and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" Could it be that Li Tao had an accident? ”
Song Ruilong said with a calm face: "You don't have to worry about this. Bencha asks you, where is Li Tao's mother? ”
Zhou Liang sighed and said, "Hey! Li Tao's mother died of a serious illness half a month ago, and the neighborhood knew about it. ”
Song Ruilong then asked, "Then do you know where Li Tao's mother is buried?"
Zhou Liang's eyes flashed. Said: "Oh, I know, about a stone's throw east of the mass grave in the south of the city. I'll take two tolerances with me. ”
Song Ruilong turned his head to look at Wei Bixiao and said, "Bixiao, you go to the county office." Ask the four officials to bring tools to Li Tao's mother's grave, and I will open the coffin for an autopsy. ”
Zhou Liang glared and asked in surprise, "Ah! Bad people, isn't that okay? What crime did Li Tao commit? Are you going to dig up Li Tao's mother's grave? ”
Song Ruilong said: "It's none of your business."
Wei Bixiao also looked dazed, and said: "Brother Song, it was Li Tao who committed the crime and killed people, why did Brother Song dig up Li Tao's mother's grave?"
Song Ruilong said: "You'll know when the grave is dug up." Hurry up and call someone. ”
Wei Bixiao nodded, said "um" and left.
Li Tao's mother's grave is at the bottom of a hillside, with no tombstone in front of it, and it is surrounded by weeds.
Song Ruilong looked at the pile of new soil and said to Zhou Liang: "This is the grave of Li Tao's mother you said, right?"
Zhou nodded and said, "Exactly!"
Song Ruilong followed Zhou Liang to the grave, and said with some solemnity: "You said that Li Tao is a well-known filial son in Ping'an County, but why didn't Li Tao stand anything in front of his mother's grave?" Could it be that Li Tao is afraid that others will know that his mother is buried in this tomb? ”
Song Ruilong's questions are exactly what Zhou Liang wants to know. Zhou Liang thought about it, but he didn't understand what was going on.
Zhou Liang's head shook a few times and said, "What's going on?" I don't know. It stands to reason that it shouldn't! How could Li Tao not erect a tombstone in front of his mother's grave? ”
Song Ruilong said softly: "This shows that there is something wrong with this tomb."
Zhou Liang stared at Song Ruilong with big eyes and said, "How can you say this?"
Song Ruilong smiled faintly: "If you want to know the answer, everything will naturally understand when the grave is dug up."
Wei Bixiao soon came to Song Ruilong with four servants.
Song Ruilong instructed them to start digging the grave immediately.
When the grave was dug up, Wei Bixi saw a coffin.
The black coffin lid glowed black in the sunlight.
Song Ruilong gave an order: "Open the coffin!"
When the coffin lid hadn't been opened, Zhou Liang was so frightened that he didn't even dare to open his eyes, but when he heard the coffin lid fall to the ground, he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and opened his eyes to take a look.
Zhou Liang didn't see more than Wei Bixiao, Song Ruilong and others, what he saw was surprise and doubt. (To be continued......)
