Chapter 202: The Prisoner Is Caught
"Oh! Okay, let's follow this clue and check it out,"
Zheng Youyi listened, first thought about it seriously, and then nodded heavily,
"It's not a secret, through analysis, we have also drawn out the scope of the murderer's activities, and combined with this detail, it will save a lot of trouble to find."
"Then please Brother Zheng."
After finishing speaking, Zong Jiyuan smiled and bowed his hand slightly......
There were still two days left for Soyoshi to be allowed to come out, so Soyoshi simply sent him home to visit his mother before returning him to the quarry and sending him a document to reduce the period of hard labor.
After dealing with these internal affairs, which were the responsibilities of the main secretary, Zong Jiyuan and Diao Saburo once again focused on the investigation between the murderer and the victim and whether there was any involvement.
However, the major progress in this case has come really fast, even so fast that it is impossible to prevent. After only a few days, news came from Anping County, saying that the murderer of the case had been caught.
Listening to what the person told them, Zong Jiyuan almost couldn't believe that this was true, so he had to look up at He Ruichang, who was sitting in the middle.
He Ruichang's expression looked very calm, and he asked Deng Xuan, the official sent by Anping County, who was sitting in the guest seat,
"Now that the murderer has been caught, then the case can be closed?"
"Back to my lord, it's not that simple,"
Deng Xuan actually showed a wry smile,
"The murderer did not confess, in fact, since he was arrested, he has kept silent and refused to say a word."
"And how can you determine that he is the murderer?"
He Ruichang listened and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Deng Xuan was also very helpless,
"Because, he didn't deny it, no matter how we interrogated, but he didn't say a word, not only did he not confess, but he never even said the word 'wronged'."
"That's weird."
He Ruichang heard more and more unclear, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zong Jiyuan and Diao Sanlang.
At this time, Diao Saburo couldn't hold it anymore and said,
"Didn't you, then, torture him?"
"I was about to talk about it,"
It turned out that this Deng Xuan was still selling Guanzi, and continued,
"Later, our Lord Shi was really anxious, and he wanted to torture him in court, not to mention, this prisoner really opened his mouth, but he still refused to confess whether he was a murderer or not, and he refused to tell his identity. It's just that he later made a request that if he wants to tell the truth, he can only be tried by someone from Liaodong County. ”
"Yes,"
Hearing this, Zong Jiyuan's heart moved and asked,
"Brother Deng, in this way, you don't know what the name and identity of the arrested prisoner is, right?"
"Not really,"
Deng Xuan spread his hands and said,
"That kid didn't say anything, no, Lord Shi had to ask me to come and say hello to your county, should I send the prisoner here and then go to court?"
"Okay,"
He Ruichang didn't hesitate too much, thought about it for a while, then nodded,
"Originally, our two counties also jointly handled the case, so let's escort the prisoner over, and we will try it together."
"Okay, the villain knows,"
agreed, Deng Xuan immediately stood up,
"I'll rush back at once, because the case is also very urgent, so I won't delay any longer, and we can escort the prisoner here tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll send you off for you."
Zong Jiyuan then stood up and walked down the hall with him.
The two of them walked out of the lobby together, and Zong Jiyuan asked casually,
"Brother Deng, can you ask, how did you catch that prisoner?"
"Oh, this, it was Zheng Zhutou who told us that the prisoner may have suffered a serious injury to his right hand, so we asked everyone to go down to the pharmacies of each family for screening, and then the kid was really found out, and a short sword was found out from him, and after comparing and checking with the wounds on the deceased's body, it was more consistent with the wound on the deceased's body."
Probably in a hurry to rush back, this time Deng Xuan didn't sell Guan Zi again, and told her all of it.
When Zong Jiyuan heard this, his heart moved, and sure enough, he found the murderer from this clue, thought about it and asked,
"So, what does that prisoner look like?"
"It's a young man who is less than twenty years old, and he doesn't know where he has such a big enmity with others, no matter who he looks at, his eyes are as if he is looking at the enemy who killed his father."
As Deng Xuan spoke, as if he had seen the prisoner again, he sighed and shook his head.
Zong Jiyuan smiled slightly and said,
"Okay, then, we'll see you tomorrow, and then we'll meet this young man who 'hates the world'."
"Okay, then, Grandmaster, we'll see you later."
As he spoke, Deng Xuan pulled his horse, jumped up, and urged the mount to gallop away......
Being able to catch the prisoner is certainly a considerable progress, but in Zong Jiyuan's heart, there is a feeling that it is not good to say and very wrong, and he always feels that the conspiracy that has never been able to detect is getting closer and closer, but he still can't figure out where to take precautions.
I thought about this all day, and when I returned to my room, I was still thinking about it in my head, until Wang Yu brought her dinner.
"When I went to the kitchen to cook just now, I heard the master say that you haven't eaten yet, so I brought it for you by the way, how about it, can we eat together?"
"Thank you, Brother Wang Yu."
Zong Jiyuan smiled and motioned for him to sit.
The two faced each other, put the food on the table, and while eating, Zong Jiyuan's brows still did not stretch.
When Wang Yu saw her appearance, he couldn't help but say a little funny,
"I said Ji Yuan, don't you want your little head to stop and rest for a while?"
"No,"
Zong Jiyuan glanced at him and said,
"I'm resting, but my opponent won't rest, so why don't I take advantage of tonight's time to think about how I'm going to deal with tomorrow and what might happen next."
"Ji Yuan, don't you really feel tired?"
Wang Yu's voice suddenly became very deep, and he changed his usual cynical attitude and said,
"You're so young, why do you have to take on things that you could not have done? You see, you don't need anything, but now you have to work hard for things that are not related, why bother? ”
"Isn't it irrelevant?"
Zong Jiyuan chuckled,
"What I see in my eyes, and what I am capable of doing, is not irrelevant to me. If the people of the world are in charge of the affairs of the world, if they can't meet it, can't see it, or don't have the ability to manage it, it's just that, but if you really have that ability, but you watch those kind people being mutilated and oppressed and don't care, then why does God give you this ability? ”
