What Li thought was that she had already been married, and if she remarried in the future, if she couldn't even get a decent dowry at that time, I was afraid that the new husband's family would look down on her, so she put the dowry together and stored it in the Weiyuan Dart Bureau branch of Qinzhou Mansion, and she only needed to pay a certain amount of storage fees every month.

Although Li herself is not from a scholarly family, she also knows some words and has read some books. In her five-year marriage to Dr. Meng, she may have been influenced by Dr. Meng, and she herself was quite interested in medical skills.

After she reconciled with Dr. Meng, she went to a medical center called Zhonghetang to learn the knowledge of medical women under the introduction and guarantee of others. It is also a very popular profession for medical women in the big dry house, and some businessmen and giants will hire one or two medical women to live in their homes permanently, which is also convenient for the women in the inner house to see the sick.

Coincidentally, Dr. Meng was also dug up by this medical hall and became a sitting doctor here. Fortunately, the doctor studied in the backyard of Zhonghe Hall, and the doctor sat in the shop in the front yard, so although it was in a medical hall, there were still relatively few opportunities for the two to meet.

Yesterday, Ding You, who stayed on duty at Zhonghe Hall, found that Li had died in the room where they usually practiced acupuncture.

The hall basically opens in the morning and closes in the afternoon. Although there are doctors who rest in the clinic every night to deal with the patients who come to the clinic at night, only one doctor stays in the clinic every night, and most of the people on duty at night are still studying at the medical center.

Ding You is the student of the medical hall who was on night duty in Zhonghe Hall yesterday, but he has to stay in the shop in front of the medical hall for the night, and there is still a short distance from the backyard. In addition, according to Ding You, after the closure of Zhonghe Hall yesterday, Li said that he had not finished his homework today and wanted to stay in the backyard of Zhonghe Hall for a while.

This kind of thing is common in the medical center, although the medical center is to train doctors and medical women, but these people who are halfway home, after the medical center collects the fee, the professor is actually very unconcerned, basically there is new content every day, if you don't understand what you taught the day before, then you have to study it in private. So Ding You didn't feel strange that Li wanted to stay a little longer.

As for why Dr. Meng was involved, it was also Ding You who said that Dr. Meng came to Zhonghe Hall yesterday, and he seemed to hear Dr. Meng and Li seem to have quarreled.

The relationship between Li and Dr. Meng, there are very few people in Zhonghe Hall who know, but Ding You is precisely the person who knows the inside story, so he directly closed the door of the shop to the backyard, and in his heart, the two of them have passed for five years, although it is a divorce or a divorce, but he doesn't want to listen to these things, in case there is any gossip in the future, it will be more than worth the loss if it comes to his head.

You must know that Dr. Wu, who is the oldest in Zhonghe Hall, hates who is talking behind his back, but this Dr. Wu's medical skills are the most brilliant in Zhonghe Hall, if he can become his disciple, then the rest of his life will be worry-free, so Ding You has always set himself in front of Dr. Wu is not to listen to gossip and ignore nossip.

After hearing the quarrel between Dr. Meng and the Li family, about a quarter of an hour later, the backyard gradually quieted down, during which the Li family also knocked on the door and apologized, saying that he had disturbed Ding You. However, Ding You accompanied Dr. Wu to see several patients during the day, and he was a little tired at this time, so he only said nothing, and fell asleep groggily.

The next day, when I opened the door connecting the shop and the backyard, I found that Li had actually died in the yard, and it seemed that he had been dead for a long time.

In the file, Zhang Zhutou thought that Ding You and Doctor Meng were both suspected of killing the Li family, so they both were arrested and put in the prison of the government office.

……

The government prison.

The prisons of the government are generally semi-underground buildings, which are afraid of the escape of prisoners and create some gloomy atmosphere. Depending on the severity of the crime, the prisoners were also held in different positions in the prison. The closer you are to the entrance of the prison, the better the relative environment. And the prisoners in this vicinity are also prisoners who have committed lesser crimes, and of course, the prisoners who have used the silver can also be transferred to the cells here. In addition, suspected prisoners will also be temporarily detained here.

Cai Tong entered the prison and saw the jailer Wang San'er,

"Hey, isn't this Cai Zhutou? What is the wind that blows you? Jailer Wang San'er hurriedly got up, and his nodding appearance looked a little unsightly.

"Which cell is holding Meng Yucheng?"

Meng Yucheng ...... This is. Jailer Wang San'er pointed to the person in the second cell on the right.

Meng Yucheng, who was called by name, lay on the door of the cell, "My lord, I was wished, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone." ”

The jailer Wang San'er saw that this person kept stretching out his hand and kicked it up, "It's not what you said to kill or not, retract your hand for me, otherwise you won't have anything to eat at night." ”

"Bring Meng Yucheng to me, I want to ask him." Cai Tong didn't want to see the jailer bullying people, so he turned around and went up after speaking.

……

There were two rooms dedicated to interrogation at the top of the cell, and Cai Tong asked the officials to bring people over, just because he didn't want anyone to disturb or collude with them.

"Your name is Meng Yucheng?"

"My lord, it's me, I really didn't kill anyone, I really didn't kill anyone."

"Ask you what to answer." Cai Tong only frowned slightly, and the official who pressed Meng Yucheng reprimanded fiercely.

"You said you didn't kill anyone, but someone saw you go to the Zhonghe Hall at night."

When Cai Tong asked this, Meng Yucheng just wanted to speak, but he seemed to have some scruples, and then he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I did go to Zhonghe Hall once, but I quarreled with the Li family for a few words, and then I left." ”

"Gone? Where did you go? Can there be witnesses? ”

"I'm home, and Laneige can testify to me."

"Who is Laneige?"

"Laneige is the only daughter of my teacher, Dr. Wu, and the two of us are in love and made an appointment to meet at my house last night."

"You are the willow tops on the moon, and people are about after dusk." Cai Tongle, and then immediately his face changed, and he asked fiercely: "Why didn't you say it when Zhang Zhutou arrested you before?" ”

"Laneige is still an unborn woman, and speaking out will damage her reputation."

"Then why are you willing to say it now?"

"If I don't say it, I'm afraid I'll be considered a murderer. I...... I don't want to die yet. ”

"Okay, take it down, and I'll talk about it when I go and ask for the witness."

After that, Cai Tong went to Dr. Wu's house and verified Meng Yucheng's statement with Wu Lanzhi. And the time is almost the same, it seems that Meng Yucheng did not have the time to kill the Li family. After returning to the mansion, Meng Yucheng was released.

In this way, Ding You's suspicion increased, but Cai Tong felt that Ding You did not look like the murderer of this case. Although he has no evidence, he just has such a feeling.

Why did he take on another troublesome case, Cai Tong asked himself in his heart, this tangled emotion was maintained until he met Nanxing.

He simply told Nanxing about the case, but Nanxing had a different opinion on this.

"Have you checked where Li lives? Maybe it wasn't someone associated with Zhonghetang who did it? Nanxing knew that in 3700, there were many such cases, and the suspects on the surface were not actually murderers, and the murderers were very hidden, so she made this suggestion to Cai Tong from this perspective.
