Lin Yuan thought to himself: "What tricks does this Zhang Ziyu have, she still comes to shout grievances, what grievances can she have." So Lin Yuan said, "Bring Zhang Ziyu up." ”

A few officials went out, and soon Zhang Ziyu walked in, her outfit couldn't help but surprise Lin Yuan, only to see Zhang Ziyu wearing a vegetarian dress with a white belt around her waist, obviously a relative at home died.

As soon as Zhang Ziyu entered the door, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Qin Xuefu, and said, "Please ask the adults to be the masters of the people!" ”

Qin Xuefu said: "Miss Zhang, if you have any wrongs, tell me quickly." ”

Zhang Ziyu kowtowed to the ground again and said, "My brother, Zhang Zilin, was killed last night!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Lin Yuan, was shocked, after all, in this small county, dead people are still a big thing, Qin Xuefu has never seen a murder case since he took office, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhang Ziyu's words, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Lin Yuan said: "Miss Zhang, how did Zhang Zilin die? You tell us slowly. ”

Zhang Ziyu said: "Our family found that my brother was killed in the house last night, and I have ordered someone to bring the body, do you need to check it?" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "How can you move the corpse?" Isn't the scene destroyed in this way? But the corpse had already been delivered, and Lin Yuan had no choice but to say, "Bring the corpse up." ”

Soon a few servants came in with a coffin and put the coffin on the ground, Lin Yuan stepped forward, pushed open the lid of the coffin, just glanced at it, and a disgusting feeling flooded his heart, although Lin Yuan had been on the battlefield for a long time and had seen many dead bodies, but Zhang Zilin's death was still too terrifying, his whole body didn't know how many knives he had been slashed by someone, and his body was messy, and he couldn't tell that he was a person.

Lin Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suppressed the feeling of wanting to vomit, and thought, "It seems that the person who killed Zhang Zilin has a deep hatred with him!" The murderer can't be Zhang Keshi, right? He told himself that his enemy's surname was Zhang, but there are so many people with the surname Zhang, is it really Zhang Zilin? ”

Lin Yuan closed the lid of the coffin and said to Qin Xuefu: "You organize manpower to solve this case quickly." ”

Lin Yuan sighed and thought to himself: "The plan to use Zhang Zilin to force Zhang Ziyu has failed, and I can only think of other ways." Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Ziyu and saw that she was kneeling on the ground, her eyes quietly looking at the ground, without a trace of sadness, as if the person lying in the coffin was not her brother at all.

Lin Yuan said: "The matter has come to this point, Miss Zhang, please mourn." ”

Zhang Ziyu nodded and said, "Thank you, sir." After speaking, he turned his head, looked at Sun Zhihong on the side, and asked, "You are Sun Zhihong and Sun Xiucai, right?" ”

Sun Zhihong knelt to the side in a daze, although he had killed Zhang Zilin countless times in his dreams, but this incident happened so suddenly, he was still stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses until Zhang Ziyu talked to him, and he hurriedly agreed: "That's right, it's down." ”

Zhang Ziyu nodded lightly, turned back to Lin Yuan and said: "Lord Lin, the brother of the Minnu has done a lot of hurtful things before, and once occupied this Sun Xiucai's wife, it stands to reason that robbing men and women must be convicted of the crime, but the brother of the Minnu is dead, and I hope that the adults will stop holding him accountable." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Everyone is dead, how can they be investigated!" So he said: "It's okay, then I won't pursue it anymore, but you have to release Sun Xiucai's wife." ”

Zhang Ziyu said: "She is outside the lobby now, if the adults are willing, you can let her in and have a while with Sun Zhihong." ”

Lin Yuan looked at Sun Zhihong and said, "It's better for you to go over, don't let your wife show up." Sun Zhihong was extremely excited when he saw his wife who was about to meet Chao Silong, kowtowed to Lin Yuan a few times, and rushed out of the lobby.

Lin Yuan saw that things had become like this, so he ordered to retreat from the court, and came out of the county office, he couldn't help but feel a little lost, at this moment, Sun Zhihong came to Lin Yuan with his wife, both knelt down, and even said thank you, Lin Yuan helped them up, Sun Zhihong's wife said: "Please Lin Shuai help me thank Miss Zhang." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Her brother snatched you into the Zhang family, but you want to thank her!" It's weird. So Lin Yuan asked, "Thank her?" Thank her for what? ”

Sun Zhihong's wife said: "I have been in the Zhang family for three years, fortunately, Miss Ziyu has taken care of me in many ways, so Zhang Zilin did not insult me, don't you want to thank her well?" ”

Lin Yuan didn't expect Zhang Ziyu to be such a good person, and couldn't help but be surprised, so he nodded and said, "It's good." I got it. ”

After bidding farewell to Sun Zhihong and his wife, Lin Yuan returned to his residence and told Shen Wanqing what had happened, Shen Wanqing was also very strange, and said: "This matter is very strange, why did Zhang Zilin die suddenly?" Who did it? ”

Lin Yuan also frowned, thinking intently, and suddenly Lin Yuan slapped the table and said, "It's not good, Zhang Ziyu is in danger!" ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "What's in her danger?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "You think, the murderer killed Zhang Zilin, it is very likely that the murderer had a grudge against Zhang Zilin's father Zhang Yunfeng, if this is the case, the murderer killed Zhang Zilin, there is no reason to let Zhang Ziyu go!" ”

Shen Wanqing nodded and said, "Your analysis is quite reasonable, I have an idea, tonight, we will visit Zhang's mansion at night, haven't you always suspected that Zhang Ziyu has a secret?" It just so happens that we will see what is going on tonight, if the killer really acts tonight, we can also take the opportunity to protect Zhang Ziyu. ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Yes, but we don't know the situation in Zhang's mansion, we have to go in to see Zhang Ziyu, first of all, we know which room Lu Dao lives in, right?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Yes, how can you ask about this matter!" It is difficult for outsiders to know such a private matter! ”

Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he said: "Yes, I know who to ask for Lu Dao, Sun Zhihong's wife!" She has been in Zhang's Mansion for three years, so she must be familiar with the situation inside. ”

Shen Wanqing said: "You introduce me to Sun Zhihong's wife, and I will ask about the situation in Zhang's mansion to see where Zhang Ziyu lives." ”

So Lin Yuan found a reason to introduce Shen Wanqing to Sun Zhihong's wife, and the two hit it off at first sight, and in the midst of casual conversation, Shen Wanqing investigated the situation in Zhang's mansion clearly, including where Zhang Ziyu lived, how many courtyard warriors were in the courtyard, how often the patrol team came and went, and so on.

When it got dark, Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing quietly set off and came to the outside of the courtyard of Zhang's Mansion, Lin Yuan saw that the courtyard wall was very low, so he smiled and said, "I can also go up this wall." So saying, he took a few steps back, ran a few steps, and stepped on the wall to the top of the wall.

Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing climbed the wall and checked it for a while, in the courtyard below, only a few oil lamps were lit in the verandah, although the Zhang family was one of the richest families in the local area, they could not build the house like a military forbidden place, it was impossible to guard it strictly, although Zhang Zilin was killed, there was still no one patrolling the courtyard.

According to the situation of the courtyard described by Sun Zhihong's wife, the two people soon came to the outside of the courtyard where Zhang Ziyu lived, and came in through the courtyard wall, and the embroidery building inside was Zhang Ziyu's residence.
