Chapter 12: The Secret of the Inkstone

Wei Bixiao smiled all over his face and said, "Who was polite to you?" If I'm polite, I'll kneel for you. ”

Song Ruilong's face sank, and he said, "I let you and Xianrong Cha's Chengxi dumpling shop owner be killed, but there is a result?"

Wei Bixiao said excitedly: "Sister Xianrong is witty and smart, discerning, and after asking a few words, Ma Fugui, a medicinal herb merchant upstairs, showed his feet, and finally in front of layers of evidence, Ma Fugui has already admitted to the murder. Now he is escorting Ma Fugui to the county office. ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "Very good, let's not talk about that case first, you can tell me what is going on with this bloody coat first?"

Wei Bixiao nodded and said, "This morning, after Sister Xianrong and I dealt with the murder case of Ma Fugui, Sister Xianrong asked me to go back to the county office first to report to Brother Song. However, I had not yet left half a step when I heard from a common man that a bloody garment had been found in the woods south of the city. I know that this is not a trivial matter, and I dare not slack off, and it is likely to be another murder. So I followed the villager into the woods south of the city. Under a large willow tree, I found a bloody garment buried in the ground. Wei Bixiao glanced at the bloody clothes on the ground, "It's the one in front of Chen Changsheng." It just so happened that the common man knew the bloody garment again. He said that the bloody clothes belonged to Chen Changsheng, the housekeeper of Zhou Yuanwai's house. ”

Song Ruilong was a little surprised: "Why did that common man know that the bloody clothes belonged to Chen Changsheng?" Could it be that he had seen Chen Changsheng? ”

Wei Bixiao glanced at Chen Changsheng, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's also to blame this Chen Changsheng for his bad luck." The old man was originally the owner of the steamed bun shop in the west of the city. Three days ago, when Steward Chen was eating steamed buns at the steamed bun shop, he said that the steamed buns had too little meat and were too salty, so instead of giving money, he also knocked over a basket of steamed buns. In this way, the old man remembered Steward Chen's clothes, which were both yellow and white, and the silk threads were silky, which were only worn by rich and noble children. That dress is even rarer in Ping'an County, and Steward Chen's clothes are also printed with a lifelike tiger, which makes the old man even more sure that the owner of the clothes is Chen Changsheng's. ”

Chen Changsheng hung his head, as if he were a withered leaf.

Song Ruilong said: "You took that bloody suit and searched around, and finally found out that Zhao Liuxing, the habitual thief in Liushu Village in the west of the city, was killed, right?"

Wei Bixiao smiled and said, "As you expected." Zhao Liuxing, who used to stealing three hands, was stabbed in the heart with a knife and died. ”

Song Ruilong glared at Chen Changsheng and said, "Steward Chen, what else do you have to say?"

Chen Changsheng sneered and said, "Even if this bloody coat is mine, how can you conclude that I am the murderer who killed the three hands?" Those three hands stole a lot of things, and it was normal for people to be killed. ”

Wei Bixiao walked to Chen Changsheng's side and said, "The three hands do a lot of evil, and it is possible to be killed by others, but if this bloody coat is Steward Chen's, then I can conclude that Steward Chen is the murderer who killed Zhao Liuxing?"

"Oh? You're so sure! Chen Changsheng smiled disdainfully.

Wei Bixiao spoke eloquently, like a number of treasures, she took out a paper ball from her pocket, handed the paper ball to Song Ruilong, and said, "My lord, please see, this is the evidence."

Song Ruilong took the paper ball, slowly opened it, and nodded to Wei Bixiao.

Inside the ball of paper is a button with a strand of muslin on it.

Wei Bixiao continued: "This button was torn off the murderer's clothes by Zhao Liuxing. There was also a broken cloth on the buttons, which was verified to be the one on top of the bloody clothes. If the bloody clothes are Chen Changsheng's, then, so to speak, the buttons that were ripped off by Zhao Liuxing are also Chen Changsheng's. I think that before Zhao Liuxing died, he ripped off Chen Changsheng's button, the purpose of which was to make the murderer have nothing to hide. ”

Chen Changsheng smiled bitterly: "This girl, your story is as beautiful as your person. Many people may look at your face and think that you are telling the truth, but I know that none of what you say is true. Of course, if the county magistrate uses this to conclude that Chen is the one who killed Zhao Liuxing, then Chen has nothing to say, besides, you only have evidence, and there is no motive for me to kill. Why did I kill Zhao Liuxing? If you can't find the motive for the killing, I won't plead guilty. ”

The evidence was there, but Chen Changsheng still did not admit his guilt, which made Wei Bixiao angry and wanted to go up and beat Chen Changsheng severely.

Song Ruilong walked up to Chen Changsheng's side and said, "Steward Chen, if I'm not mistaken, Zhao Liuxing's death is related to Bai Xiaosheng's death."

Chen Changsheng still wanted to quibble, Song Ruilong's right hand reached Chen Changsheng's chest like lightning, and when Song Ruilong stood still, there was an extra inkstone on Song Ruilong's fan.

Song Ruilong put the fan in front of Chen Changsheng and said, "Steward Chen is really eloquent, I don't know what Steward Chen has to say after seeing this inkstone?"

Chen Changsheng looked at the inkstone in surprise, and quickly stretched out his right hand to take the inkstone back.

Chen Changsheng's shot was very fast, as if a goshawk was a moment when it saw its prey. The speed of that moment could kill a wolf, but the speed of that moment did not even touch the shadow of the inkstone.

Chen Changsheng looked at the inkstone again, the inkstone was still firmly parked on Song Ruilong's fan, and the inkstone just now seemed to have not moved at all.

Chen Changsheng thought that he had encountered a ghost, if it weren't for his own knowledge of martial arts, he would definitely be shocked.

Chen Changsheng sneered: "I didn't expect that the county magistrate is so skilled. You should walk in the rivers and lakes, and it is too condescending to be a county magistrate in this Ping'an County. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Let's talk about it, Steward Chen, how did you kill Zhou Yuan, Bai Xiaosheng and Zhao Liuxing for an inkstone?"

Chen Changsheng sneered: "Didn't the adults already know? Why let Chen say it again? ”

Song Ruilong said: "Although this county values evidence and light confessions, it does not mean that this county can not appeal to criminals. Now you tell the county the details of the case, maybe the county can exempt you from some punishments. ”

Chen Changsheng sighed and said, "That's fine." Today, now that the matter has been revealed, Chen no longer needs to hide anything. Chen was really not interested in the inkstone, but the inkstone was engraved with a quarter of a map. ”

Song Ruilong said: "What kind of map is that, which can make you so crazy?"

Chen Changsheng said: "That map can be said to be what any person in the martial arts wants, because that map allows you to find a magical cave, and the cave contains a martial arts secret book left by a martial arts senior."

Song Ruilong sighed: "It's just a martial arts secret book, as for letting you kill so many people?"
