Xi Yuanhe said very generously: "Xiaosheng didn't have a tryst last night, but he bumped into the eldest lady of the Lu family who died tragically in his boudoir, I'm afraid that no one will believe that Xiaosheng is innocent."

Song Ruilong said: "Oh, you can tell me what you saw around the third watch today?"

Xi Yuanhe bowed his head and said, "It's a shame to say this. Yesterday afternoon, when Xiaosheng was playing in Xianren Mountain, he accidentally saw Miss Lu's fairy face, and thought that if he could marry a woman like Miss Lu in this life, it would make Xiaosheng live for ten years, and Xiaosheng would have no regrets. Maybe it was the infatuation that God had mercy on Xiaosheng, and soon, there was a person who claimed to be the housekeeper of Miss Lu's house, he said that as long as Xiaosheng was bold enough, he was willing to keep the small door in the backyard of Lu Yuanwai's house for Xiaosheng at night, and when the time came, Xiaosheng could enter through the small door and go directly to Miss's boudoir to meet Miss. Xiao Sheng was so excited when he heard this, he didn't close his eyes all night, until he found that Miss Lu had died in his boudoir. ”

Su Xianrong scolded and asked, "You found out that Miss Lu was dead at that time, why didn't you report it to the official?"

"I-" Xi Yuanhe said helplessly: "When Xiao Sheng saw that scene, he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and his feet didn't obey the call. If Xiaosheng alarmed Lu Yuanwai at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable. Once Lu Yuanwai determines that Xiao Sheng is the murderer, Xiao Sheng has a hundred lives, but he is afraid that he will not live to dawn. So Xiaosheng took refuge. Unexpectedly, Xiaosheng was still found by adults. What Xiaosheng said is true, please be aware of it. ”

Song Ruilong felt that Xi Yuanhe had no motive to kill, and what he said should be the truth, so he put the target on the dagger.

Song Ruilong put the murder weapon on the table and said, "Xi Yuanhe." Come and see if you know this dagger? ”

Xi Yuanhe bent over, stared at the dagger with big eyes, his eyes were shining, and said, "My lord, this dagger knows whose it is."

"Speak quickly!" Su Xianrong was pleasantly surprised and couldn't wait to ask.

Xi Yuanhe moved his head to the dagger by an inch. Said: "My lord, if Xiao Sheng is not mistaken, this dagger is not used by the Central Plains, it comes from Mongolia."

"Mongolia? Could it be that the murderer was a Mongol? Su Xianrong said with some skepticism.

Xi Yuanhe shook his head, slowly stood up, and said, "No, no, no...... Although the dagger came from Mongolia, the owner of the dagger was not a Mongol. ”

Su Xianrong's eyes were full of expectation, and he said, "Then you should tell me who the owner of this dagger is!"

"The owner of this dagger is none other than Xiaosheng's neighbor Cai Daxiong." Xi Yuanhe said confidently.

"Who is Cai Daxiong? How did you know he had such a dagger? Song Ruilong asked with some disbelieving.

Xi Yuanhe said: "Because Cai Daxiong is a person who likes to show off very much. He would carry the dagger with him every day, and when he met people, he would say that the dagger was the spoils of war he had collected when he was fighting in Mongolia, and that it was given to him by his general. Therefore, many people know Cai Daxiong's dagger. ”

"Oh, yes." Xi Yuanhe seemed to think of something again, and said, "Today, after the third watch." Xiao Sheng came out of the small door in a panic, walked through Pudding Alley, and saw that Cai Daxiong was looking for something on Anding Road. Xiao Sheng looked at him as drunk. So he asked him what he was looking for, and he cursed that his grandmother's eight lambs, the Mongolian dagger was missing. Xiao Sheng really doesn't know how this dagger came to the scene of the crime, please take a look. ”

Song Ruilong took the dagger in his hand and immediately ordered Liu Tianxiong and Wei Bixi to arrest Cai Daxiong.

When Wei Bixiao and Liu Tianxiong called the door of Cai Daxiong's house open, it was Cai Daxiong's wife Cai Shi who opened the door, and Cai Daxiong slept very peacefully in bed like a dead pig.

Cai Daxiong's wife also explained: "Two poor people. My husband got drunk last night and didn't come back until today. So he was very sleepy and did not kill pigs today. ”

Liu Tianxiong and Wei Bixiao briefly understood the situation, and took Cai Daxiong to the west wing of Lu Yuanwai's house.

After Cai Daxiong kowtowed to Song Ruilong, he still looked at Song Ruilong in confusion and said, "My lord." Xiaomin doesn't know what crime he has committed, and the adults want to arrest Xiaomin here? ”

Song Ruilong showed the dagger in his hand to Cai Daxiong and said, "Cai Daxiong, do you know this dagger?"

Cai Daxiong was tiger-headed, and after seeing the dagger with his eyes, it was like a fly seeing dog shit, and he immediately wanted to rush forward, he said excitedly: "My lord, this dagger was exactly what Xiaomin threw away last night." Please also ask the adults to return the daggers to the miners. This dagger was won by the small people in a bloody battle, it is the honor of the small people, and for many years, it has been inseparable from the small people. Please return the dagger to the minor. ”

Song Ruilong's heart was still wondering, didn't this Cai Daxiong really know that his dagger had become a murder weapon? In this case, others were afraid to dodge, but he dared to ask for his own dagger.

Song Ruilong said: "Cai Daxiong, do you really not know that your dagger has become a murder weapon?"

Cai Daxiong glared in surprise and said, "What murder weapon?" The little people don't know. Xiao Min only knew that after eating wine with a few friends at the Good Luck Inn last night, Xiao Min's dagger was gone. Xiaomin searched for a few streets but couldn't find it, and finally ran into Xiaomin's neighbor Xi Xiucai. ”

Song Ruilong felt that the possibility of Cai Daxiong committing the crime was very small, so he put Cai Daxiong back.

Liu Tianxiong sighed: "Hi! I thought that this Cai Daxiong was the murderer, but after trial, he was not either. Now our thread is broken again. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Master Liu, the purpose of judging the case is not to arrest one person to close the case. We want the truth. If the case is closed in a daze, it will leave the dead without rest, the wronged person grieving, and most importantly, let the murderer go unpunished. So, we have to be patient. Now, our clues haven't been broken, so didn't Cai Daxiong say it? Last night, he and a few friends had a drink at the Good Luck Inn, so let's start with Cai Daxiong's friend and check whether Cai Daxiong's friend had taken the dagger. Lu Xiuqin's death should have been premeditated. Alright, Master Liu, go ahead! ”

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong checked Lu Xiuqin's room again, and after making sure that nothing was missing, they ordered two officials to carry Lu Xiuqin's body back to the county morgue and wait for another examination in the future. (To be continued......)
