At this time, Guo Beitang looked puzzled and asked Li Moyi, "Do you suspect that the woman is not Zhang's?" ”

Li Moyi smiled and said, "Do you still remember the scene when Song Yan was exposed in public that day? I guess Zhang Jue was the same way that day, when he sent each other, through the dim and dark moment, he either secretly pinched the woman's hand or did some other action, which made the woman can't help but chuckle, Zhang Jue has been married for many years, according to the words of several neighbors, it is inferred that Zhang's has always been dignified and chaste, and it is impossible for the two to do such a thing in front of people. ”

"In addition, there is another suspicious place, they all said that Zhang's door is not out of the second door, Zhang Jue used to go out in the middle of the night to do goods Zhang's did not send out, why after a big quarrel, the relationship between the two is abnormally rapid warmed up, performing this big drama that is difficult to give up?"

Guo Beitang said: "It's really suspicious to say this, couldn't Zhang have been killed at that time?" ”

Li Mo smiled and said: "We have all seen the situation in the side room, although there is no object on the couch, but there is only a thin layer of ash on the couch, which is completely different from the dust and cobwebs everywhere in the house......

Guo Baotang's face was hideous, he clenched his fists and sneered: "Good boy, I'll go and arrest him!" ”

This case has been dragging on for a few days, Guo Beitang and several small guards in charge of this case have been beaten, at this moment Guo Beitang is naturally in a hurry to close the case, and he hates the murderer even more in his heart, Li Mo stretched out his hand to stop it, "Don't worry, now we are just inferring, there is no direct evidence to prove that Zhang Jue is the murderer, I am afraid that he will deny it, and when he goes to the court, he has a guard in his heart, and it will be difficult to interrogate." ”

"What are you waiting for, this guy must be harmful, the evidence now is enough to say that Master Song is moved, if Zhang Jue denies that he just used the big punishment to give everyone a board to repay it, hehe, everyone do it together, are you afraid that guy won't recruit?" Guo Baitang's eyes showed a fierce light, ignored Li Moyi's obstruction, and immediately took Lin Wei's little guards to arrest them.

Li Moyi is not a guard, and his body is still in pain, so he can only walk slowly and follow behind, comforting himself in his heart and saying: "Although there is no conclusive evidence, the inference that Zhang Jue is the murderer should not be wrong, and I can almost do everything I can do......"

I saw the menacing guards rushing into a mansion, and soon after, Lin Weixiao's guards hurriedly walked out and whispered to Li Moyi: "Brother Scholar, Guo Daitang, please come over, we didn't find the box of things." ”

As soon as Li Mo and he entered the mansion, they saw that the owner of the house and his family were all frightened and panicked, huddled in a corner of the courtyard, two men with a figure of about thirty years old were kneeling in the courtyard in shackles, Guo Beitang was interrogating them, two experienced guards searched the room, and the whole courtyard was smoky and crying.

Lin Wei's little guard also searched, with a dark joy on his face.

Li Mo saw that the arms of a few little guards were gradually bulging, and he knew what was going on, and borrowing and smuggling was one of the main ways for the guards to come out for extra money.

Li Mo came to Guo Beitang and asked, "Guo Beitang, can you catch the suspect?" ”

Guo Beitang sighed lightly, "This is the suspect Zhang Jue and the salt merchant who hid the suspect." ”

"Wronged, my lord!!"

Zhang Jue and his salt merchant friend each shouted their grievances, and Li Moyi asked with a pleasant face: "This salt merchant boss, if you want to clear your suspicion, it depends on your performance." ”

"Let me ask you, Zhang Jue has been living in your house for so long, have you ever seen a small box about this big? It's not big, but it's a little heavy, and it should be made of wood with vermilion lacquer. Li Mo gestured with his hand as he spoke.

The salt merchant shook his head blankly, Zhang Jue looked up at Li Mo in surprise, the look of surprise was fleeting, and then he lowered his head again, Guo Beitang also said with a puzzled face: "How do you say it's vermilion?" ”

Li Moyi smiled, "When I just went to check the scene, I found a little scraped vermilion paint on the edge of the wardrobe, presumably it was accidentally hung up when the murderer eagerly took it out, Zhang Jue, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize it, in fact, I know where the red lacquered wooden box is hidden, Guo Beitang, we don't have to waste time in this salt merchant, Zhang Jue ......"

Li Moyi suddenly leaned over and whispered in Zhang Jue's ear, "I believe that box should be easy to find out of Widow Zhao's house." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jue, who was originally pretending to be calm, suddenly trembled, he turned his head in horror and stared at Li Moyi, Li Mo smiled coldly at him, Zhang Jue shuddered again, hurriedly lowered his head, closed his mouth tightly and said nothing.

Seeing him with such a demeanor, Li Mo settled down in his heart, eighty percent of people were harmed by him, as long as he didn't wronged him, he also brought on himself to be punished, and it is still unclear how Widow Zhao hid her traces and came and went freely in Zhang Jue's house, but it didn't matter anymore.

The salt merchant was quite clever, and when he saw that the form was not good, he immediately invited Guo Beitang to the side, muttered a few words, and then quickly ran into his house, holding a bag of silver and coming out to honor the poor masters, Guo Beitang weighed the weight, and showed a kind smile on his face, and immediately untied the shackles, only locked Zhang Jue and escorted him back, and then went straight to the house of Widow Zhao not far from the same street.

……

When the imposing guards knocked on the door of Widow Zhao's house, a group of people quickly gathered around, pointing and saying everything.

Widow Zhao opened the door in a little panic and came out, after Guo Baotang said a few words, he took two old guards to copy the widow's house in the single-family courtyard, Li Moyi and Lin Weixiao guards were responsible for guarding the suspect Zhang Jue and Widow Zhao at the door, Li Moyi was originally worried that someone would make a difference, but fortunately, it seems that Widow Zhao's popularity is not good, among the neighbors who are watching, there are few who are willing to speak for her, and no one is willing to stand up for her.

Li Moyi secretly observed this widow Zhao, and saw that she really had a bit of a look, although she was frightened, but she was also pitiful, she was a little flustered in fright, and occasionally looked at Zhang Jue, and there was no complaint in her expression, and she even felt a little bit of a sense of blessing and misfortune.

Not long after, Guo Beitang walked out with a small vermilion wooden box with a secretly happy face, shook the box in front of Zhang Jue, kicked him to the ground, and shouted: "Zhang Jue, you murderer of your wife, first fornicated with Widow Zhao, and then faked the scene of theft, and now the thief has been found in Widow Zhao's house, and the human and material evidence are there, what else do you have to say!" Come on, seal Widow Zhao's house, and escort these two back to the governor's mansion! ”

"That's really the case...... everyone had a look of sudden realization, as if the widow Zhao did this in their eyes, and then the disdainful, ridiculed, doubtful, suspicious, secretly envious, and painful faces swept through Li Mo's eyes one by one, and the stolen goods were all there, and it was useless for these two people to be stubborn.

Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the high steps at the door of Widow Zhao's house, and jumped up with a sigh, the injury was not yet healed.

"Brother Scholar, I'll help you change the medicine when the matter is done." Lin Wei's little guard grinned, he was very happy, if this case was solved, he must have been able to get a lot of rewards, and he didn't have to be beaten on his body, how could he not be happy?

Coming out of Widow Zhao's house, there was an extra package behind the other little guards who accompanied him, which seemed to be a little heavy, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and they only said that this time the tolerance was quite fruitful, Lin Wei's little guard saw that Guo Beitang had locked someone up and was leaving, so he hurriedly said to Guo Beitang, and wanted to ask for a leave of absence and leave with Li Moyi later.

Guo Beitang happily agreed: "Well, the case has been solved, don't be in a hurry, you can play nearby, it's not too late to go back later, that scholar, this time the case is solved thanks to you, I won't treat you badly, tonight I will hold a banquet in Junlai Building to celebrate, you and Lin Wei must go." ”

Lin Wei's little guards happily agreed, and Li Moyi also agreed casually, only to see Guo Beitang and a few guards carrying large bags and small bags, carrying stolen goods, walking a few steps and knocking a stick to drive the two suspects away.

Cracking this case can make at least a few taels of silver, Lin Weixiao's guard was very happy, took Li Moyi to the local pharmacy to change the gold sore medicine, and went to the nearby lake with Li Moyi to play for an afternoon, and when he returned to Anqiu Town, it was getting dark, and people on the street were talking about catching the murderer, but they didn't hear the news that Li Moyi was involved.

"Brother Scholar, Guo Beitang is too much......" On the way to Junlai Building, Lin Wei's little guard said indignantly: "I'll talk to Guo Beitang later." ”

Li Moyi didn't care, and said: "Don't worry about it, Guo Beitang is your boss, he is happy that the people below you will be better, why are you fighting with him for this false name?" I just want to get a little bit more money......"

Lin Wei's little guard gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Scholar is really extraordinary, clever and clever, and the silver is naturally the most real, hehe......"

Junlailou is one of the best restaurants in Anqiu Town.

Not to mention anything else, the food in Junlailou is indeed second to none in Anqiu Town, Li Moyi has just settled in this Anqiu Town, naturally it is the first time to come, Guo Baotang They have already sat in the best position on the second floor of Junlailou near the river, seeing Li Moyi and them coming, Guo Baotang and a few familiar guards hurriedly got up to greet each other, so that Li Moyi was a little flattered, Guo Baotang was even more exaggerated, holding Li Moyi's shoulders and pressing him on the seat next to him, two thick cushions had already been added to the chair, and it was so cordial to keep warm and warm.

With such special treatment, Li Mo couldn't help but be a little useful, and the guards also praised him, Li Mo was a little strange in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, he helped them solve the case, and it was normal for them to be grateful.

Guo Beitang kindly gave Li Mo a piece of candied sweet jujube, and said with a smile: "You have to eat jujube in Anqiu Town, this candied sweet jujube is the first of the top ten famous dishes in Anqiu, it is made of autumn jujube, glutinous rice, candied fruit, white lotus as the main raw material, with blue plum, orange cake, honey and other condiments, after stewing, patting, frying, steaming and other more than 10 processes. It is red in color, sweet and crispy, plain but not light, thick but not greasy, has the effect of strengthening the spleen and appetizing, and quenching thirst, so you might as well eat more. ”

Everyone knows that Li Moyi is not a local, so he naturally doesn't understand these things, so he introduced them in such detail, but these people are also big and coarse, and after a few words of elegance, they began to talk nonsense, the guards are well-informed, the proprietor is in the south of the family, and there is almost nothing in the town that they don't know, and suddenly talking about the Song Yan who was arrested that day, he fornicated and masterminded the murder, at least it was also the material for the execution after the autumn, his parents were old and the children and young daughters-in-law were weak, but the family background was still solid, Everyone was discussing how to go to his house and squeeze some money to spend it.

"Isn't Song Yan from the spring willow land? The boss is caught, and the people below must be in a mess, just to get some oil and water, maybe the top cards that are rare to pick up customers and even the little green girl will come to accompany us, and it is not impossible to hold the beauty with good means! Lin Wei's little guard was three points drunk, and began to fantasize, and said with a smile in his fascinated eyes.

A guard patted Lin Wei's little guard on the head, sneered and said, "Are you an idiot for everyone?" It's easy to get some oil and water, don't dream if you want to take advantage of other girls......"

Everyone present laughed and drank a little wine, and there was no self-restraint between several guards, and there were more words, Guo Baitang frequently persuaded him to drink, Li Moyi originally drank averagely, listening to their back and forth talking and laughing, he was a little drunk unconsciously.

At this time, Guo Baotang gave Lin Wei's little guard a look, Lin Wei's little guard looked embarrassed, and struggled for a while before sighing, "Brother Scholar, little brother respects you a cup, the murder in Baili Village can make us miserable!" If it weren't for the scholar brother Tai you went out to find out the real culprit, we don't know how many crimes we would suffer, if I also had a scholar brother Tai, you would be half smart. ”

Li Moyi smiled and said, "Can you solve the case if you are smart?" This is not necessarily, you can't make a decision easily, this thing experience is very important, to be honest, this case is not handled well today, I still don't know how Widow Zhao entered Zhang's house unconsciously, and how she locked the door from the inside and left quietly. ”

A guard smiled and said: "We have asked about this, Zhang Jue couldn't stand it after a meal in the court, he confessed first, he said that he sometimes sneaked to Widow Zhao's house when he came back at night, and he was very clear about the walking route and time of the patrolman, he slept in the guest room on the night he killed his wife, and the next morning he used the excuse to drive away Zhang's mother, and sneaked to Widow Zhao's house that night, and spoke with Widow Zhao first, and took Widow Zhao home the next night, pretending to be Zhang's costume, and made a scene when the old man went out to the opposite door. ”

"Then Zhang Jue waited for the old man Sun to go away and slipped back, Widow Zhao changed her clothes and left first, the bolt of Zhang Jue's house door had been hung up with a rope in advance, and after the door was closed, the rope fell and the bolt fell and locked the door, and then he asked someone to knock open the door and find the corpse, and took advantage of the chaos to hide the rope wrapped around the deadbolt, and it was as simple as that."

"I see, it seems that my observation is not careful enough......" Li Mo raised his eyebrows one by one, the mystery in his heart was solved, and he became even happier, "Congratulations to everyone for solving this case, you don't have to be punished in the future!" ”

Guo Beitang sighed, "It's just that we don't have to be beaten for the time being, if there is another case that can't be solved in ten days and a half months, don't we have to be beaten on an errand?" ”

A guard instigated: "Yes, scholar, I know you have a smart brain, and now that there is a shortage of people in the yamen, why don't you also rank up and be a guard?" With you, we will suffer less sin in the future, what do you think? ”

Guo Baotang looked at Li Moyi and didn't speak, Lin Wei and a few other little guards echoed one after another, talking about the various benefits of being a guard, and promising all kinds of benefits, I heard them say that as long as Li Moyi is a guard, he doesn't have to care about most of the errands in the yamen, and he doesn't have to report every day, just go to solve the case when a big case occurs, and usually you can walk sideways in Anqiu Town with the guard's waist card, which is really a good errand.

Lin Wei's little guard also followed and persuaded: "That's right, Brother Scholar, you should also be a formal guard, I don't hide it, I want to worship you as a big brother, let's be a brother of the opposite sex, after you become a guard, I will do all those idle errands for you, you just need to study with peace of mind, and help us solve the case when there is something, isn't it good?" ”

Everyone in the audience was agitated, Li Moyi was already a little drunk, and after listening to what they said, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and after thinking for a long time, he finally asked with some emotion: "Uh...... Guards are considered positions, right? How many products does it have? ”

Everyone looked at each other, Guo Companion Hall snorted, "Ordinary guards have no quality, but they are happy, the errand is simple, this little guard without quality is easy to use, and he can also be promoted because of merit in the future, and he will be the general escort of a town, such as me, that is from Jiupin, you can read and write, and run errands while studying, no one can say which step you can get to in the future!" ”

After drinking the wine and gradually starting to rise, Li Mo became a little floating, spoke arrogantly, and couldn't help nodding, "Okay, then I'll be a tasteless little guard to play...... Haha, cheers everyone...... Cheers! ”

Guo Baitang was overjoyed, "Today's big case has been solved, your share of the reward will definitely not be able to run away, everyone will be their own family in the future, come, cheers!" ”

Everyone drank happily again, and Li Moyi was also very happy under their praise, only to feel that today was the most high-spirited day after coming to this realm, and he didn't even know when he was drunk.
