Zhao Wu came back at the beginning of his son's time. He saw that the light in the small window was still on, and his steps were getting bigger.

Xu Lan couldn't sleep and was leaning on the head of the bed to read.

She heard Zhao Wu's footsteps, and just as she was about to get off the ground, she felt the fetal movement in her stomach.

Seeing Zhao Wu pushing the door in, he hurriedly beckoned and smiled, "Come and see, the baby is moving again." ”

Zhao Wuzheng was about to say Lan Yin, and when he heard this, he hurriedly ran to the head of the bed, and saw that Xu Lanyin lifted his clothes on his big belly, and a bag bulged out on the right side, and then another bag bulged out on the right side.

Zhao Wuye smiled and squinted, stretched out his hand and just wanted to touch it, but he felt that he hadn't washed his hands yet, so he didn't dare to touch it.

waited until the fetus was no longer moving, and Xu Lanyin put down her clothes.

Zhao Wu went to the clean room to wash up, came out and said, "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" ”

Xu Lanyin said, "I can't sleep. Come and tell me, what did the victim say, did you lock up the suspect? ”

Zhao Wu glanced at her, but still said, "The case was found in a wasteland on the edge of the city, and there are similarities and differences with the previous four cases. The similarity is that the rope and technique used to tie up the family members are the same, but the difference is that the previous criminals killed people immediately after rape, but this time they did not kill people, but beat the victim until his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his head was broken and bleeding. When he was fighting, he was discovered by passers-by, and the criminals were scared away...... The victim said that it was dark, and he only saw the offender covering his face with a cloth, and the rest could not be seen clearly. The two passers-by who found it said they heard the culprit as if he were cursing. But the victim said that she was frightened, and she didn't pay attention to whether the criminal scolded or not, what he scolded...... She may have been frightened and couldn't remember, or she might have been hiding something. ”

Zhao Wu sat on the edge of the bed in frustration. Today, I asked the victim for most of the day, and the victim's family also helped to ask, but the victim said that he was too scared and didn't remember anything except crying and shaking his head.

Xu Lanyin said, "Minhu didn't mention that I should talk to the victim? ”

Zhao Wu was speechless. Min Hu did say it, but he refused on the grounds that Xu Lan was pregnant with a child.

Xu Lanyin said, "I'll talk to the victim tomorrow, maybe I can get some clues and solve the case as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Wu shook his head and said, "No, what if it scares you and the child?" ”

Xu Lanyin said, "She is a victim, not a murderer, so she can't scare me." If you can really ask something out of her mouth, you can solve the case earlier, and you can save the lives of many girls...... Besides, talking to victims, especially female victims, is a matter of skill and is completely different from interrogating prisoners. Can't go straight to the topic and let her reject you. You have to let her down her guard and trust you before she is willing to talk to you......"

Zhao Wu saw that Xu Lanyin was right, so he had to let her try. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take it to see you tomorrow." It's getting late, so let's rest. ”

The next day, after sending Min Jia and Xu Lanyue away, Zhao Wu asked people to go to the yamen to deliver a letter to Min Hu, and he accompanied Lan Yin to the victim's house by car, and Zhangqi also sat in the car, and He Dong personally drove the car.

Zhao Wu said that the victim's name was Hua Qiaoniang, and her family lived in the northwest, not too far from Old Man Xu's house. Her father and brother made tofu, and she sold tofu on the street with her mother......

The carriage came to a halt at the gate of a courtyard.

Zhao Wu helped Xu Lanyin out of the car and knocked on the yard, which was opened by a woman in her forties.

She knew Zhao Wu, and forced a smile to invite them in. whispered, "My Hua Niang was frightened, she kept crying, and finally fell asleep." Can the official not bother her, she said that she didn't remember, she just drove her crazy, and she definitely didn't remember. ”

After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed a few times. A middle-aged man and a young student who were making tofu in the house also ran out and knelt down and kowtowed, not wanting the official to come to Hua Qiaoniang again.

This incident has made the family faceless, and no matter how often officials come to the door, they can't hold their heads up.

Zhao Wu said, "Hua Qiaoniang said that she didn't remember anything, but the murderer wouldn't think so." He is a habitual offender and cruel in his methods, so you are not afraid that he will come to the door and kill him? At that time, Hua Qiaoniang will not be the only one who will die. ”

When the three men heard this, they looked at each other and were frightened, so they had to stand up.

Zhao Wu said again, "This is my daughter-in-law, let her talk to Hua Qiaoniang." What we men don't want to say, women can say, and Hua Qiaoniang won't be afraid. ”

Aunt Hua invited Xu Lanyin into the north room of the West Wing, only Zhangqi followed, and Zhao Wu and the others sat down in the West Wing hall.

Xu Lanyin saw a girl sitting at the head of the bed with a bruised face, her facial features were deformed, and her eyes were swollen into a slit. She shook her head in horror and said, "Get out, get out, I'll see nobody." ”

Aunt Hua said with tears in her eyes, "Qiao Niang, this is Lord Xiao Zhao's wife, if you don't want to tell others, just tell her......"

Hua Qiaoniang's tears flowed out, crying, "I've already said it, I don't know anything, go out, go out ......"

Xu Lanyin said, "Aunt Hua, please go out, I want to talk to her alone." ”

Aunt Hua looked at Xu Lanyin's big belly, so she had to walk out, and Zhangqi went over to close the door again.

Xu Lanyin looked around the house, the furniture was not good, but it was also neatly arranged, and there were two pots of daffodils on the high table.

She sat on a chair, the chair was at the foot of the shelf bed, still next to each other, just in time to hear Hua Qiaoniang's heart.

Zhangqi stood beside Xu Lanyin, ready to deal with the outstanding situation at any time.

Hua Qiaoniang buried her head in her knees and cried.

Xu Lanyin didn't speak, waiting for her to cry. In fact, it was in her heart.

Hua Qiaoniang silently thought in her heart, I can't say it, I can't say it, if I say it, it will be even more embarrassing, and I won't be able to live......

Zhao Wu and the others sat in the hall, silent, and there was no sound coming out of the north room. More than a quarter of an hour later, Minhu came, and he led Master Ji into the West Chamber, waiting silently.

Min Hu was very happy in his heart, he believed that as long as Xu Lanyin was out of the horse, Hua Qiaoniang still had some memories of the events of that day, and he could get clues.

After waiting for more than two quarters of an hour, the voices of Xu Lanyin and Hua Qiaoniang could occasionally be heard from the north room, the sound was so small that they couldn't hear it clearly.

But Hua Qiaoniang finally spoke, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

After more than two quarters of an hour, Xu Lanyin walked out with Zhangqi.

Xu Lanyin asked Zhao Wudao, "Where did the first four cases take place?" ”

Before, Zhao Wu only told her that three were in different counties, and one was on the outskirts of Ningzhou Mansion.

Zhao Wu said again.

Xu Lanyin's expression became more serious, and he said, "These places seem to be far away and irregular, but they can be strung together, and they are the section from Nanping County to Ningzhou Mansion or near the road section. I think I've locked up the suspect. ”

Zhao Wu and Min Hu asked in unison, "Who is it?" ”
