The twenty-third year of Tianquan, October 21.

It turned out that the gloomy weather suddenly broke through the clouds and saw the sun, and there were always many people sitting in the alleys and alleys to bask in the sun.

People come and go on Xuanwu Avenue, there is an endless stream of people doing big business and small business, and the storytelling and singing in the teahouse theater are particularly lively.

But this afternoon, there were no people listening to books in the teahouse, and the children selling melon seeds and fruits in the theater stood at the door stupidly, waiting for a long time without a person.

"Mother, I don't sell melon seeds anymore, and I also go to the yamen to see the excitement."

The boy stuffed the basket into his mother, and ran away, and his mother followed behind and shouted: "Take the basket with you, sell it by the way, there are many people over there." ”

"Yes, yes!" The boy ran back and rushed to Suzaku Road with his basket.

But he was late.

The streets are crowded with people, even if a fly flies low, it has to be killed by two heads.

The child jumped to his feet and shouted in front of him: "Has it started, has it started?" ”

"No, don't you hear the drums still beating?"

The child carried the basket and risked his waist, like a kitten, and squeezed into the crowd all the time......

In the public hall of the Punishment Hall, Song Ning, who was dressed in a cyan official uniform, stood up and changed his previous casualness, his eyes were cold and solemn, and he was a positive official.

She stood alone in the hall, in the huge public hall, and she was the only one.

"It's really a person." Someone admired, "He's not panicked, I've never seen him." ”

"Can she do this? Didn't help. ”

Everyone began to worry about her.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound of a startling wood falling on the table in the hall, and Song Ning shouted: "Take Wang Liang!" ”

Everyone saw that Ma Santong dragged a rope and dragged out Wang Liang, the suspect to be tried in this case.

Wang Liang was pulled out, with a plate roast around his neck and a rope tied to it, one end of which was in Ma Santong's hand.

Wang Liang did not resist, because one of his arms was unloaded and was hanging by his side, not only that, his cheeks were bruised, his eyes were bruised, and he had obviously been beaten before going to court.

There was an uproar in the crowd, and someone shouted: "Wang Liang, junior brother!" ”

"Lord Song, what crime did Wang Liang commit to make you treat him like this?"

"Don't say that he is not guilty, even if he is a prisoner, you can't be punished like this, right?"

More than a dozen dart masters in the Tiandu Dart Bureau were excited, and they were about to rush in to save Wang Liang.

The onlookers were also surprised, even if the yamen was tortured, it was a place to cover it with clothes, how could there be a clear beating like Song Ning, for fear that others would not know.

"Who hit him?" Someone asked, "There is no one in the Yamen." ”

Everyone looked at Song Ning inside the door, she had already sat down, and looked at the door expressionlessly: "This is the court, if you are crooked, you will fight together." ”

The truth-telling dart master wanted to refute, but was stopped by the senior brother: "Listen to his trial." ”

Song Ning pointed at several dart masters in the Tiandu Dart Bureau warningly, his gaze was retracted, and he fell on Wang Liang, and said, "Can you plead guilty?!" ”

"I have nothing to admit guilty, but Lord Song, who did not hesitate to wronged good people in order to solve the case and sensationalize."

"A person like you is not worthy of being an official!"

The dart masters of the Tiandu Dart Bureau also shouted: "That's it, people like you are not worthy of being officials." ”

"Lord Xiao Song, why are you detaining my senior brother?" Qian Lixiang asked at the door.

Song Ning got up, stood at the door with his hands in his hands, looked at everyone, and said, "Why did I grandstand and arrest Wang Liang, instead of arresting others?" ”

"In the court, either stand outside and shut up and listen, or kneel in the court and open your mouth to cry!" Song Ning pointed to the group of dart masters.

Those people were about to speak, but suddenly they saw their master coming, waved their hands at everyone, and signaled them not to act rashly.

Everyone fell silent.

"On August 14 this year, Su Yan from Sanyang Hutong was killed at home. The murderer killed him in a brutal and inhumane manner. Song Ning began to talk about the case, said slowly, and turned his head to look at Wang Liang, "Wang Liang, where were you that night and what did you do?" ”

Wang Liang replied: "On that day, I made moon cakes with my brothers and sisters in the dart bureau, and then went to Temple Street, bought two lanterns and went home. ”

The dart master outside should be harmonious: "Yes, we testify that he was with us and went back after dark." ”

"I don't know what Lord Song heard about, but I didn't kill Su Yan, he is my brother-in-law, I won't kill him and I don't have time to kill him." Wang Liangdao.

Song Ning shook his head and said, "When I first saw you, I didn't suspect that you were the murderer, but your meticulousness to Wang Mei is too weird. What kind of brother takes care of his sister, and even the last bottom line of male and female defense can be broken? ”

He helped Wang Mei wash her clothes, and even washed her trousers.

It's inconvenient for Wang Mei, but there are also aunts in the alley who specialize in washing clothes.

Also, she asked him what he was doing that night, and he actually thought about it for a moment.

Su Yan's tragic death should still be remembered fifty years later.

But he had a vague expression of memory.

"So, this gives you, the uncle who was originally not suspicious, a motive."

Wang Liang was furious: "If you say it, I'll talk about me, don't talk nonsense about Wang Mei, she doesn't understand anything when she's sick, it's too much for you to say this." ”

"Why is she sick?" Song Ning shouted and looked at him, "It's because of you, you killed her man, and imprisoned her by your side on the grounds that you wanted to help her recuperate her body, even the doctor said that she was able to communicate and speak, why did her thoughts become more and more confused after she came to you?" ”

"No, I don't!" Wang Liang said angrily.

Song Ning said: "Your nephew said that he wants to grow up quickly to protect his mother." When I heard it, I thought it was a boy's attachment to his mother, but I later learned that it wasn't. ”

"He doesn't like you, he's afraid of you, he knows that you bully her mother, and he wants to protect his mother from being bullied by you!"

Wang Liang was annoyed and ashamed: "You have no evidence to talk nonsense, and even the words of children can be misinterpreted and fabricated." ”

The dart master outside the door shouted: "Lord Song, he is an elder brother, and he has been good to his sister since he was a child, and we all know this. His sister's marriage was still handled by him, how could he bully his sister. ”

"That's it, you say how he will behave in the future."

Song Ning's eyes were like torches: "I'll restore this case." ”

In the corner, Ma Santong worked hard to write a book, recording the process.

On the morning of August 14, Wang Mei told her brother Wang Liang that she was pregnant. Wang Liang, who loved his sister like his life, was furious on the spot. ”

Because three years ago, when Wang Mei gave birth to her first child, she almost died of a blood collapse. Wang Liang and Su Yan had already discussed that they should not have any more children, Su Yan agreed and agreed, but unexpectedly, Wang Mei was still pregnant. ”

Wang Liang said coldly: "This matter is true, I discussed it with Su Yan, and he promised me in front of his mother." ”

Su Tang listened in the back office and did not refute it out loud.

"Yes." Song Ning had already said to the Su Tang clan, and she said, "So you are annoyed and angry. When you went home that night, you went to find Su Yan while Sanyang Hutong was almost empty. ”

"When he made you tea, you stabbed him in the waist with a sword."

Wang Liang sneered and looked at him sarcastically: "How can I poke it, just go in and stab it or take advantage of it?" You may not know that Su Yan also has martial arts! ”

"With my ability, I can't kill him without fighting."

"Su Yan's martial arts don't have to be good for Wang Liang, we are all senior brothers." The dart master outside the door shouted.

The uninformed people also nodded, and some people wondered: "I remember that I used a kitchen knife or something at that time, and there were three knives on my body, right?" ”

"This is also the crux of this case. I didn't know that Su Yan had martial arts at first, so I thought it was strange, why did the murderer only stab him once, and changed from a boning knife to a kitchen knife? ”

"Later, after I re-examined the autopsy, I found out that the wound on Su Yan's waist was not the injury of the boning knife, but the sword of your dart master."

Song Ning compared the confiscated Wang Liang's short sword with the murder weapon at the scene: "It just so happened that the yamen did a perfunctory autopsy, and such an important wound was so lightly fooled." ”

"If I don't open the coffin, I'll probably never know that the boning knife is just a means for you to confuse and verify."

She placed the sword on the table and continued the case: "However, when I learned that the wound on his waist did not come from a boning knife, new doubts arose. ”

"Why did the murderer only stab Su Yan with a sword in the case of a preemptive strike, and took out a kitchen knife and a boning knife to cover it up afterwards!"

Everyone thinks it's strange that if this matter is not clarified, the process of this case is a fog.

"Why?" Someone asked.

"Because, the murderer himself was injured!" Song Ning said, "When Su Tang left, he remembered very clearly that Su Yan was cleaning up the pig's feet and wanted to stew Wang Mei to replenish his body. ”

After they left, Wang Liang came. Su Yan, who was cleaning up the dishes, came to open the door for him. ”

Wang Liang was stunned, and his complexion changed.

"The two often meet, but today's situation is special, Wang Liang will definitely be angry about Wang Mei's pregnancy, Su Yan is weak-hearted, so after inviting him in, ask him if he can have dinner, and after getting a reply, he went to the street to buy moon cakes."

"After coming back, he personally made tea, planning to eat moon cakes and enjoy the moon and drink tea in Wang Liang, while explaining to him that Wang Mei was pregnant."

But Wang Liang couldn't stand it, he thought of his panic when Wang Mei was about to die, he got up and took advantage of Su Yan's back to him to make tea, pulled out his short sword, and the moment the sword entered Su Yan's waist, Su Yan counterattacked and grabbed the kitchen knife on the table.

The kitchen knife in Su Yan's hand slashed Wang Liang's right hand, and the sword in his right hand fell off the ground.

Song Ning lifted Wang Liang's right arm and rolled up his sleeve.

On the right arm, from the outside in, there is a scar with new flesh.

"That's the scar." Song Ning shook off his hand.

Exclamations outside the door, some people are far away, and they listen to the constant retelling of those who are close.

Su Yan took this opportunity to escape, Wang Liang pulled out the long rope hanging at the door, wrapped Su Yan's neck, buckled it tightly, and passed through the door beam. Su Yan, who was mortally wounded, could not resist the strength and was hanged on the door beam. ”

She paused slightly, and someone exclaimed, "It turns out that this is a murderer, my god is too cruel." ”

"It's all a family, why is it like this."

Someone shouted: "No, Su Yan still has a knife wound on his body, Lord Song, it's not right for you to say this." ”

"No, there's no wrong." Song Ning looked at the person who spoke and said, "Because, the knife wound on Su Yan's neck and the wound on his arm were cut after he died. ”

"This is Wang Liang's cleverness, he used a kitchen knife to cut Su Yan's neck and arm, confusing the blood stains of the kitchen knife, and it can also explain why there was so much blood at the scene."

"He used boning high to cover up the threat posed to him when the real murder weapon was found."

After Song Ning finished speaking, he looked at Wang Liang and said coldly: "It seems that you often do such things, and you are so skilled at covering up your wounds and confusing the murder weapon." ”

"You have no proof, and to say this is your nonsense."

"Where's the evidence?!" Wang Liangdao.

The dart masters shouted together: "Lord Song, we have to see the evidence." ”
