After the interrogation of the woman who was rescued from the tunnel, it was confirmed that she was indeed Wang Xiucai's wife Zhang, who went home in anger half a year ago, but when she walked to this village, she was knocked out by Zhao Si and imprisoned in the tunnel, becoming Zhao Si's tool to vent her desires, and living a dark life.

A must-have for chasing books

Now that everyone has obtained the stolen goods, Zhao Si did not dare to deny it, and explained the matter clearly.

It turned out that due to his poor family background and low status, although Zhao Si was nearly thirty years old, he was still a single person, and whenever he saw those big girls and little daughters-in-law on the street, he had an inexplicable impulse in his heart, wanting to press those women under him and ravage them fiercely.

So he had the bold idea of taking a woman captive for catharsis, and in order to achieve this purpose, he painstakingly dug a tunnel in the firewood room to imprison the captured woman.

Originally, Zhao Si's target was the woman in the village, and he was going to take advantage of the opportunity to commit the crime when he poured the night incense at night, but he didn't expect to meet the Zhang family who was angry and returned to his parents' house that day, he saw that the Zhang family was young and beautiful, and it was still early in the sky, so he dared to knock out the Zhang family and bring her home.

At first, Zhao Si was still worried, but later saw that no one was tracking down Zhang's disappearance, so he gradually relaxed.

Later, the appearance of the female corpse in the pond made Wang Xiucai be imprisoned in the county prison for the crime of killing his wife, and his heart was even more calm, as long as Wang Xiucai carried this charge, then no one would come to investigate Zhang's affairs in the future, and he could occupy Zhang's with peace of mind.

Because of Zhao Si's special occupation, those servants of the county government naturally ignored him when they were investigating in the village.

When Zhao Si was taken away by the servants, the people in the nearby villages were all in a sensation, and they all rushed to see the excitement, discussing noisily, who would have thought that a person who poured night incense could do such a thing that lost his conscience?

Because the nature of the case committed by Zhao Si was heinous and it was a crime of the first degree, he was later sentenced to death by hanging and sentenced to death by Ling Chi, and was escorted to the Jiujiang Prefecture Prison to await the review of the Criminal Department.

Zhang's sister rushed from the neighboring village after hearing the news, hugged Zhang's head and cried, and the family thought that the female corpse in the pond was her, but they didn't think that she was still alive, which was a great luck in misfortune.

However, Qi Wanlong was not happy at all, although Zhang's case was solved, but now there is an additional case of an unknown female corpse, God knows who the woman who died in the pond is, because this is a series of cases, if the case of the unknown female corpse is not solved, it will not be able to explain to Cui Hui.

Li Yuntian also did not expect that Wang Xiucai's case would lead to a case within a case, and compared with Zhang's disappearance, it is undoubtedly more difficult to find out the identity and cause of death of the nameless female corpse. The update is the fastest and most stable

The only consolation was that the female corpse must have been from a village near the reservoir, otherwise the killer would not have dumped her body here.

Today's plan, the only thing to do is to check whether there are any lost people near the reservoir, or those who left home half a year ago, and look for relevant clues.

Since the Zhang family has been found, then Wang Xiucai naturally does not have to suffer from prison anymore, Qi Wanlong has already written to the Jiangxi Xuezheng Yamen to restore his fame as a Xiucai.

Zhang's family has now become a remnant of a willow, and her heart is like ashes, so she became a nun and was accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, which made Li Yuntian feel a little embarrassed, saying that she was a victim but fell into such a situation.

Wang Xiucai later married Zhang's sister, and six years later was admitted to Jiangxi's Juren, which can be regarded as a bitter and bitter end, glorifying the ancestors, and going to the nunnery to visit the Zhang family every year.

In line with the principle of having a beginning and an end in doing things, since Li Yuntian promised to help Qi Wanlong investigate Wang Xiucai's case, he naturally couldn't turn a blind eye to the case within a case caused by Wang Xiucai's case.

What's more, due to the appearance of the Zhang family, Wang Xiucai's case was quickly solved, if he returned to Hukou County like this, how could he lower Long Ye's vigilance.

Under Qi Wanlong's orders, the officials of the county government of Ruichang County organized local personnel to go door-to-door to check the population of villages and towns near the reservoir, and then the scale continued to expand outward.

One afternoon not long after Zhang's was found, when Li Yuntian and Qi Wanlong were discussing the case of the nameless female corpse in the county Yahoutang, suddenly the doorman came to report that the guard of honor of the patrol royal Shi Cui Hui was almost in the county seat.

The two were taken aback, no one thought that Cui Hui would come to Ruichang County at this time, and hurriedly led people out of the city to welcome Cui Hui.

Cui Hui came this time to supervise the case of the nameless female corpse in the reservoir, which was the first case he encountered after coming to Jiangxi, and the bizarre plot was rare, so it aroused his attention.

Regarding Cui Hui's appearance this time, Li Yuntian felt a little puzzled in his heart, and vaguely felt a little strange: although the case of the nameless female corpse was tortuous, it seemed that it was not enough to alarm Cui Hui, a dignified patrol of the imperial history.

Cui Hui's arrival made the atmosphere in Ruichang County tense all of a sudden, the air was filled with a depressing smell, everyone knew what the imperial history was doing, there were already rumors that the nameless female corpse in the pond was involved in a shocking case, otherwise how could Cui Hui come here?

This made people in Ruichang County panic for a while, and the grass and trees were all soldiers, and they secretly inquired about what was going on.

Yang Demin, the governor of Jiujiang Prefecture, also sent an official letter asking Qi Wanlong if there was a big case in Ruichang County, and after receiving Qi Wanlong's negative reply, he was a little relieved and sent Feng Kui, the general judge of Jiujiang Prefecture, to assist Cui Hui in handling the case.

Two days later, Ruichang County Yahoutang.

"The magistrate has sent people to investigate the villages and towns within a radius of ten miles near the reservoir, and several suspects have been arrested."

Li Yuntian, Cui Hui, Feng Kui and Qi Wanlong sat there drinking tea while discussing the case of the unknown female corpse, Qi Wanlong put down the teacup in his hand and said to Cui Hui and Feng Kui in a deep voice, "Xia Guan feels that the suspect should be within these ten miles of villages and towns, and in order to avoid any omissions, he is going to review several households." ”

"Which ones?" When Feng Kui heard this, he saw Cui Hui sipping the tea slowly and methodically, so he asked.

"A few big families with influence in the local area." Qi Wanlong explained in an orderly manner, "Large households have a large population, and there may be people who have missed the investigation. ”

Although Qi Wanlong did not say it explicitly, everyone present at the scene knew that those famous families in the local area were all powerful people, and those errand officers of the county government must have shown mercy when investigating them, and did not dare to provoke them.

Feng Kui couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian who was leisurely sipping boiled water, although this nameless female corpse case was in charge of Qi Wanlong, but everyone knew that Li Yuntian planned it behind the scenes, otherwise, with Qi Wanlong's ability, this case would become an unsolved case.

The review of those large families this time was led by the errand officers brought by Feng Kui from the government office, and the errand officers of Ruichang County assisted them, so as to avoid the phenomenon of favoritism and malpractice.

Soon, the errand officers who went to review came with the news that the old lady of Gao's camp, which was seven miles away from the reservoir, had eloped with the merchant who sold goods half a year ago.

Mrs. Gao felt that it was a family ugly, so she hid the matter, if that girl was serving a young lady of the Gao family who had not yet left the cabinet, so the last time the officer of the county government of Ruichang County did not investigate it carefully.

Although the name of Gaojiaying is "Ying", it is actually a town, and the Gao family of the old lady Gao is in charge of the affairs of the town and is a famous family in Ruichang County.

In order to find out whether the girl had eloped with the merchant, Qi Wanlong decided to go to Gao's house to check, and Cui Hui and the others naturally went together to see how he decided the case.

The people of the Gao family learned that the patrol was coming, and hurriedly went out of the house to greet them under the leadership of the old lady Gao.

The girl who eloped was named Chunhua, and she served the third lady of the Gao family, the granddaughter of the old lady Gao, and after Qi Wanlong arrived at the Gao family, he first interrogated the third lady of the Gao family in the living room of the Gao family.

The third lady of the Gao family is a young girl of twenty-eight years old, and she has never experienced such a big formation, and when she saw several men in official uniforms sitting in the living room, she was already pale with fright and looked frightened.

In the face of Qi Wanlong's inquiry, Miss Gao Jiasan insisted that Chunhua eloped with a merchant half a year ago, and stole a lot of her jewelry when she left.

Qi Wanlong was not in a hurry, and interrogated the people of the Gao family one by one.

Li Yuntian sat aside and observed quietly, when it was the turn of the third lady of the Gao family's own brother, the second son, his eyes lit up, and he found that the second son's eyes were frightened, and the whole person was extremely nervous, and he had a different appearance from others.

After interrogating the Gao family's cadres, Qi Wanlong did not gain the slightest, and the Gao family's subordinates thought that Chunhua had returned to her parents' house, but he was not in a hurry, but asked his subordinates to investigate whether the Gao family's subordinates had suddenly become rich and rich in the past six months.

As a result, this investigation really found out a person named Niu Da, a carpenter of the Gao family, who is usually responsible for making furniture for Gao Mansion and repairing broken tables, chairs, wardrobes and so on.

About half a year ago, Niu Da became generous, often going to the tavern and entering the **, and no one knew where his money came from.

Just over three months ago, the second son of the high school married a bright girl ring of the Gao family to Niu Dawei's wife, and people sighed that a flower was inserted in the cow dung, thinking that he had taken the shit luck.

After learning of this situation, Qi Wanlong couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to arrest Niu Da, and searched his home, turning Niu Da's home upside down, and finally found a box under the **, which contained jewelry such as earrings, necklaces and bracelets.

Niu Da's wife said that she had never seen the jewelry in the box, and the inside of the two bracelets was engraved with a small word "spring".

Two years ago, the Gao family once rewarded several diligent maids with a pair of silver bracelets, including Chunhua, Chunhua was worried that the bracelet would be confused with others, so he found someone to carve a "spring" in it.

Not only that, the jewelry such as earrings and necklaces in the box was identified by the Gao family girl ring and determined to be Chunhua's things, it is obvious that Chunhua's jewelry will not go to Niu Da's hands for no reason, and her whereabouts must be related to Niu Da. One
