Liu Tianxiong and Wei Bixiao investigated for an afternoon and checked all Cai Daxiong's friends, and as a result, those people had alibi evidence.

Tie Chong and Shen Jing checked at the Good Luck Inn, and no one saw anyone pick up Cai Daxiong's dagger.

The case reached an impasse, and before dawn the next day, Guo Zhitong came to report the case again, saying that Lu Xiuqin's personal maid Xiaoxue was also dead.

Song Ruilong immediately rushed to the scene of the crime with the officials and the servants.

Xiaoxue died in the back garden of Lu Yuanwai's house. She was caught in the neck, stunned, and thrown into the pool in the back garden.

After Zhang Meixian examined Xiaoxue's body, she said to Song Ruilong: "The deceased was thrown into the pool after being choked unconscious. The water in the pond had already soaked Xiaoxue's body. There was a large amount of fluid in her lungs, and it was concluded that the deceased had been choked unconscious and thrown into the pool. The time of death is about two watches. The nail of the middle finger of the deceased's right hand was broken and a lot of blood was shed. ”

Song Ruilong called Lu Youcai and said, "Lu Yuanwai, did you hear any movement during the two watches?"

Lu Youcai said: "My lord, although Xiaomin hasn't slept on the second watch, but because today's two watch, there was a strong wind and a light rain, so Xiaomin didn't hear anything." Also, Xiaomin also asked the family in the courtyard, and they all said that it was too cold at night, they went to bed early, and because of the death of the young lady, they didn't dare to go out, so they didn't know anything about what happened in the back garden. ”

Song Ruilong's eyes rolled and said, "Outside Lu Yuan, where is Xiaoxue's room?" The prefecture wants to see it. ”

"Yes!" Lu Youcai personally led the way and brought Su Xianrong and Song Ruilong to Xiaoxue's room.

Song Ruilong found a pair of large cloth shoes in Xiaoxue's room.

Song Ruilong took the pair of cloth shoes to Lu Youcai and said, "Lu Yuanwai, who do you think these shoes belong to?"

Lu Youcai stared at the shoes, took a closer look, and shook his head. said: "This, Xiaomin really doesn't know. This Xiaoxue can't wear such big shoes, her parents died early, she has no brothers and sisters, she is an orphan, if she makes such big shoes. Eighty percent is to give to the lover. ”

Su Xianrong asked, "Then do you know who Xiaoxue's lover is?"

Lu Youcai shook his head and said, "This little people really don't know. In this people's affairs, ordinary people rarely interfere. ”

Song Ruilong stared at the shoes, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "I know who the murderer is." Song Ruilong put his eyes on Lu Youcai's body and said, "You hurry up and call the housekeeper Guo Zhitong over."

"Could it be that the murderer is Guo Zhitong?" Lu Youcai underestimated it in his mouth.

Song Ruilong said: "These are not what you have to care about."

Lu Youcai went out for a while, and called Guo Zhitong in front of Song Ruilong.

After Guo Zhitong saluted Song Ruilong, Song Ruilong threw the big shoes in front of him and said, "Guo Zhitong, can you wear these shoes?"

Guo Zhitong only glanced at it. He said, "My lord, these shoes are too big for the people to wear."

Su Xianrong glared at Guo Zhitong and said, "Nonsense, you can't wear shoes when they're small, but now that these shoes are big, why can't you say you can't wear them?"

Song Ruilong said lightly: "Do you want to wear it yourself, or do you want the county to send someone to wear it for you?"

Guo Zhitong picked up his shoes. Take off the shoes on your feet and put on the new shoes. Su Xianrong looked at it and said, "Guo Zhitong, I think these shoes match your feet so well." Do you think this Xiaoxue made shoes for you? ”

Guo Zhitong's face was ugly, and he said: "Poor people, Xiaomin is handsome and chic, and he is considerate of his subordinates." It's normal for this Xiaoxue to like Xiaomin. However, my lord, Xiaomin definitely didn't ask Xiaoxue to make any shoes for Xiaomin. Xiaoxue's heart, Xiaomin received it. But these shoes are never worn by the small people. Let's bury it with Xiaoxue's body! Thanks to the adults for letting Xiaomin know Xiaoxue's heart for Xiaomin. But it's a little snow. Why didn't you tell me sooner? I wish I had known that you had this heart for me, and I would have taken you as my wife. ”

The relationship between Xiaoxue and Guo Zhitong is definitely not that simple, but Guo Zhitong only admits that Xiaoxue is secretly in love with him, and he doesn't know about it at all, so if he wants to convict Guo Zhitong of murder through a pair of shoes, I'm afraid that Guo Zhitong will not agree.

Song Ruilong sat on the chair, looked at Guo Zhitong, and said, "Guo Zhitong, this county asks you, the night before yesterday, have you ever been to the Good Luck Inn?"

Guo Zhitong shook his head and said, "No." When Xiaomin and Miss came back from Xianren Mountain, they had been making arrangements for the meeting between Xi Yuanhe and Miss in the evening, and they didn't have time to go to the Good Luck Inn. ”

Song Ruilong still had to ask a question, and at this time, Wei Bixi said outside the door: "Brother Song, I found an important witness."

Song Ruilong looked at the door and saw a family member in a gray shirt and a round felt hat standing next to Wei Bixi.

He was overjoyed and said, "Bring him in."

After the family entered the house, he immediately knelt down for Song Ruilong and said, "Xiaomin's name is Meng Zhulin, and he is a family member of Lu Yuan's family. Xiaomin can testify that Guo Zhitong went to the Good Luck Inn, and he also picked up a Mongolian dagger the night before. ”

Song Ruilong glared at Guo Zhitong and said, "Guo Zhitong, Meng Zhulin said that you went to the Good Luck Inn the night before yesterday and picked up a Mongolian dagger, do you admit it?"

Guo Zhitong's eyes had a fierce light in his eyes, and he said, "He is framing Xiaomin."

Meng Zhulin said: "What am I framing you for?" Not only can I prove that you have been to the Good Luck Inn, but I can also prove that Xiaoxue is your best friend. It's not a day or two that you and Xiaoxue have a private meeting in the back garden. But now that Xiaoxue is dead, you are indifferent, are you worthy of Xiaoxue? ”

Guo Zhitong turned his head to stare at Meng Zhulin, and said, "My lord, he is spewing blood, Xiaomin has never been to the Good Luck Inn, nor has he seen any Mongolian daggers."

Song Ruilong could see from Guo Zhitong's eyes that he was lying, and said, "Even if you don't admit that you have been to the Good Luck Inn, then do you admit that you have an affair with Xiaoxue?"

Guo Zhitong vigorously retorted: "I didn't. If there is, it is also Xiaoxue herself who has a crush on Xiaomin, what does this have to do with Xiaomin? ”

Meng Zhulin sneered: "Guo Zhitong, what are you afraid of?" Are you afraid that if you have an affair with Xiaoxue, adults will suspect that you killed Xiaoxue? ”

Guo Zhitong glared at his reddened eyes and said, "Even if Xiaomin has a personal relationship with Xiaoxue, why did Xiaomin kill Xiaoxue?" What's in it for Xiaomin when she's dead? (To be continued......)
