"Immediately, bring Cui Tianming back to the official."

"My lord, do you want to take people or arrest people?" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, there is a difference between this belt and arresting people.

At least Cui Tianming has no evidence that he is a suspect now, at most he is an insider or a witness.

"Bring someone, just bring someone over, speak politely, don't scare him." Meng Yan commanded.

"Whoa!"

"Okay, He Wendong, that's all for today, if you have anything else to remember, you can let someone tell the official immediately." Meng Yan said, "Mr. Cai, show him his confession, if there is no objection, then sign it." ”

"Yes, sir!"

signed and detained, and He Wendong was taken down to treat his injuries and rest.

"My lord, this case is getting more and more confusing!" Cai Jin sighed with emotion, Bai Suxin's case is basically clear, but the case of Xi'er's murder involved five people.

The five men all have that relationship with the deceased to a greater or lesser extent, and the suspicions are also big and small, but none of them are supported by favorable evidence!

Xi'er's body happened in Suxinzhai, and according to reason, Jiao Hong's murder is the most suspected, followed by Cao Qin.

Because both of these people are free to enter Sushinzhai without being suspected.

Then He Wendong and He Wenhai brothers, if He Wenhai is not in the capital, then the suspicion can be ruled out.

Now add a Cui Tianming, a guy from the Hejian Hall, a teenager who has a crush on Xi'er, will he be a murderer?

Loving and killing each other, Meng Yan must take all possibilities into account.

The utility room where the body was hidden was not the first scene of the killing. It was moved after the killing, because Xi'er died of mechanical suffocation, and he didn't see any traces of struggle in the body, so he judged that there was still a murder scene.

It is possible that this first murder scene is a certain room of Su Xinzhai, and it is not impossible for Xi'er's own room to be in her own room, of course, it may also be somewhere else, but because it has been too long, the scene may have been cleaned up and destroyed a long time ago.

If the first scene is in Sushinsai. That can still find clues. If not, then there is probably no hope.

At the beginning, he thought about this, and went to Xi'er's room again to investigate, but found nothing.

"Mr. Cai. We're going to go to Sushin Zhai again! Meng Yan said.

"Still going?"

"We may be in a fixed mindset. Something was overlooked. In addition, I call Kuzu, and let's go together! ”

"Good. I'll go! ”

Calling the master, Meng Yan rushed to Suxinzhai again without stopping.

"Lao Ge, do you remember that Xi'er's corpse was wearing clothes?" Meng Yan asked as he walked.

"Of course I remember, it's a honey-colored yarn thread wearing a flower phoenix wisp gold drag mud skirt, and a pair of dark blue satin cloud-toed shoes on the feet...... Ge Tong remembers the clothes and accessories on Xi'er's body clearly.

"This official remembers that Bai Suxin said that Xi'er usually wears a thin blue duanqun, wears pointed-toe cloth shoes on her feet, and combs her hair in a maid's bun, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"So, Xi'er has completely changed her outfit, and she is no longer an inferior girl?"

"When the clothes are worn on people's bodies, they must be orderly, when the official found Xi'er's corpse in his impression, the clothes on her body didn't seem to be neat, of course, it is not ruled out that someone in the middle has touched her body, Lao Ge, you are a man, even if the clothes outside can be messed up, but have you found any intimate clothes inside?"

"If you want to say that you have found it, you do have suspicions, but you are not sure." Ge Qizuo thought for a moment and said.

"You say."

"The lowly found that Xi'er's bandeau was very loosely tied, and a few dark yellow spots were found on her dirty pants, so it is inferred that Xi'er was very likely to be violated by a murderer before she was killed!"

"Ge Qizuo, why didn't you say such an important clue until now?" Lin Tianxing said reproachfully.

"There are too many things, and I forgot about it when I was busy, and the focus of the adult's investigation was not on Xi'er's death, so I ...... from my humble position."

"It's not Ge Yanzuo's fault, he also deduced from this that even if Xi'er had sex with someone before she died, it doesn't mean that the person who had sex with her must be her murderer."

"Thank you, sir!"

"Lao Ge's inference gives us a good direction, and it is very important for us to find the first scene of Xi'er's murder.

"One room, one room after another, let the official search one side more, especially those rooms that haven't been checked much before, don't let go of every inch of it!"

"Whoa!"

"My lord, can you really find the scene of the first murder that killed Xi'er?" Cai Jin walked up to Meng Yan and said suspiciously.

"Now it's the only way to go, if the scene of the first murder is not in Su Xinzhai, then it may be murder and the body is moved!" Meng Yan said, "If you are a murderer and you kill someone outside, what should you do?" ”

"Needless to say, just find a place to bury it!"

"Yes, this murderer killed someone, not only did he not find a place to bury it, but instead transported the body to Su Xinzhai and hid it in the utility room, isn't it strange?"

"yes, that's weird!"

"Mr. Cai, did you say that if Jiao Hong killed someone, would he hide the body directly in Su Xinzhai?" Meng Yan said, "And after that, he can transport the body away and bury it anytime and anywhere." ”

"So the person wasn't killed by Jiao Hong?"

"According to this logic, it is very unlikely that the person was killed by Jiao Hong, unless he uses the thinking of the investigator to get rid of his murder suspicion." Meng Yan said, "Only a highly intelligent person can do this, and he has to calculate accurately, who will take over this case, otherwise if he does this, he will only put himself in a dead end." ”

"What the adult said makes sense, if there is no adult intervention, Bai Suxin's grievances will not be able to see the light of day again, and there will be no discovery of a prematurely dead corpse in Su Xinzhai!" Ge Tong sighed.

"According to the adult's analysis, isn't Jiao Hong suspected of murder?" Lin Tianxing said puzzledly, "The evidence we have. Xi'er knew the secret of Jiao Hong's murder, and Jiao Hong's motive for killing was the greatest. ”

"Yes, Jiao Hong has the biggest motive for killing, and besides, he has already killed one Li Chengyan, so he doesn't care about killing one more!"

"yes, that makes sense......"

"Jiao Hong doesn't have to kill people by himself, he can hire killers, he can hire others, whatever!"

"After killing someone, let the killer send the body to Su Xinzhai. Is this Jiao Hong psychopathic? ”

"Maybe. Jiao Hong just wants to see Xi'er's corpse with his own eyes? ”

"Then why didn't he just dispose of the corpse and bury it in the yard, so no one would know."

"If it's really as you speculated, then this Jiao Hong is really an expert in psychology!" Meng Yan said with a smile.

"Your Excellency. Cui Tianming brought it back to the yamen. ”

"Let Master Li Duo ask first. Wait for the official to go back! ”。 Meng Yan commanded.

"My lord, I didn't find out!"

"My lord, we didn't find anything here. I searched all the places and found no clues! ”

"Tianxing, you lead the team and go search Cui Tianming's house!" Meng Yan suddenly had a flash of light in his mind and ordered.

"Search Cui Tianming's home?"

"Yes, go ahead, maybe there will be an unexpected discovery." Meng Yan ordered.

"Whoa!"

Lin Tianxing quickly left with a team of people.

"By the way, how is this fellow from the Riverhouse treated, Mr. Cai?"

"I have seven or eight dollars of silver every month, two other meals, and some things during the New Year's holidays, and occasionally help the guests, and there will be some extra money." Cai Jin said, "Over the course of a year, if you do a good job, you will have thirty or forty taels of silver, and you will have a dozen taels of poor." ”

"That's really not much, how is Cui Tianming's income?"

"I really don't know about this, but he seems to have bought a small courtyard in Needlesmith Hutong last year, with four or five rooms."

"How much is that yard worth?"

"At least three or four hundred taels of silver, the price of the house in the capital is high, and ordinary people can't afford it."

"That's right, he's a young man, apprentice for a few years, how can he have such a large sum of money to buy a yard, there must be a problem." Meng Yan Road.

"Yes, what the adults said is not bad at all, this Cui Tianming is really problematic."

"Let's go, let's go back and see this Cui Tianming again." Meng Yan snorted and said, "This kid is quite capable of pretending, this official was almost deceived by him." ”

"Cui Tianming, do you still know me?"

"Yes, you are Lord Meng, how can the villain not know you." Cui Tianming bent over and nodded.

"Do you know what the official asked you to do?"

"The villain doesn't know."

"I don't know, did you take the initiative to confess yourself, or do you want the official to give you some means before you are willing to say it?"

"Master Meng, what did the villain confess?"

"Cui Tianming, you're still acting for this official, someone is here!" Meng Yan shouted.

"In!"

"Drag the official out, and hit the twenty boards first!"

"Whoa!"

"Adult, the villain is wronged, the villain is wronged......"

"Wronged, how can this official wronged you, look at it, these things are all found from your house." The two boxes were lifted up, and after they were opened, they were placed in front of Cui Tianming.

Seeing the box and the contents of the box, Cui Tianming's face turned pale with fright when he saw it, and his soul was scattered.

"Do you know these things?"

"Lord Meng spares his life, the villain says, the villain just says it!" Cui Tianming knelt on the ground and cried and pleaded.

"You say, did you kill Xi'er?"

"It was killed by a villain."

"Tell me all about how you killed Xi'er!"

"Yes, when Xi'er was going to leave the capital and go back to Hejian, Shopkeeper He ordered me to find a carriage, and I saw with my own eyes that Shopkeeper He moved the two boxes that Xi'er stored in the Hejian Hall into the carriage, and then they asked me to drive to Suxinzhai, and waited at the back door of Suxinzhai for half an hour, and Xi'er came out."

"Wait a minute, are you waiting outside alone?"

"No, what else is the shopkeeper, Xi'er is a person who went in, it should be to see Jiao Erye, but I didn't see Jiao Erye."

"Go on."

"After that, I drove the shopkeeper He and Xi'er out of the city, and soon after leaving the city, the shopkeeper He entrusted Xi'er to a fellow villager to him, and asked her to take Xi'er back to the river, and the shopkeeper He asked me to drive back alone, I asked him, I drove the carriage away, how did he go back, he said, he has his own way, let me drive back directly."

"I didn't want Xi'er to go back to Hejian's hometown, so I walked for a while and drove back, but found that Xi'er did not go back with the shopkeeper's fellow villagers, so I picked Xi'er back to the capital, she was alone in the capital except for He Shopkeeper and Jiao Erye, there was no family, and these people knew that she had returned to the river, so the villain took him back to his home, and this stay was half a month ......"
