Li Mo smiled bitterly, "Song Dabai, what's the matter?" It seems that his prejudice against me is really deep, he looks like a broken can, and his grievances have accumulated deeply, is it possible to settle the grievances in his heart by closing the case hastily? It's weird. ”

As soon as Li Mo saw a lot of grudges and evil demons, he could naturally see at a glance that Song Dabai was resentful, whether this resentment was against him, or against Lord Song, or if he would have this case, in short, Song Dabai was now a time bomb, and he didn't know what he would do next.

Guo Beitang pouted, "Don't worry about him for now, you can't solve the case, it's not him who will be hit by the board at that time, and solving the case is the real ability, what should we do now?" ”

Li Moyi said, "What new clues do you have over there?" ”

Guo Beitang said: "No, this Liu Li is really a good man as his wife said, and he would rather lose his own capital than grudge with others when doing business on weekdays, so there are more people who are willing to do business with him, and his servants also say that Liu Li is a good man, and some people even cry when they say it." ”

Li Moyi sighed, "So those murderers should be arrested and brought to justice, Liu Li's miserliness is really miserable, he is treated like a livestock...... Previously, he was stabbed twice in the abdomen...... These murderers deserve to be killed! ”

"Is it really a left-door gang...... Guo Beitang's eyes were full of worry, Anqiu Town has strict jurisdiction since ancient times, and he knows how to deal with these left-door gangs one by one. But once there is a trace of the Left Door Gang, what is often followed is the resistance of the Left Door Gang, and it is sometimes a massacre, if it is confirmed that the case is committed by the Left Door Gang, I am afraid that Anqiu Town will no longer be peaceful.

"I don't think it's 90 percent so." Li Moyi said with considerable certainty: "Guo Beitang doesn't have to worry. ”

Guo Beitang sighed, "By the way, you have to be careful of Song Dabai, if this is really a case of the Left Gang, if you can't solve the case in time, I'm afraid that your and my lives will be difficult to protect." ”

"Why did Guo Beitang say this?" Li Moyi asked in surprise.

Guo Beitang said with a sad face: "Song Dabai came back this time as if he was a completely different person, I don't know what the opportunity is, he has become reckless and reckless, and it seems that he wants to do everything possible to settle the case hastily, if this is the case, if this matter involves the left-door gang that will rebel...... I think he is likely to report to the top, and when the time comes, our situation will be quite dangerous, and Lord Song may not be able to protect himself. ”

Song Dabai...... He ...... "Li Mo thought about it carefully, this Song Dabai is now so resentful, but there is really the possibility of reporting to the head and distorting the facts, and Song Dabai obviously doesn't treat his father Mayor Song very well, regardless of his father's safety, it is not impossible, otherwise he would not have handed over the dismissal letter as soon as the case was closed last time, thinking of this, Li Mo suddenly felt a burst of horror.

Seeing Li Mo's surprised look, Guo Bantang comforted him in turn and said: "Don't panic, as long as we handle this case first and handle it steadily, Song Dabai has no excuse to report to the top, we will be safe, at most it will cost some money, don't be too nervous." ”

Li Mo must have calmed down, "Then we have to step up, today in addition to finding the scene of the first crime, we also found a clue, it is said that on the evening of the 20th, the chef Wen Mou of Junlailou once lost a set of knives, it is very likely that it is the murder weapon, no matter what, bring him and his new knives back first, a celebrity chef, even if the knives used to are replaced with new ones, they will be similar to the original, and they should be used for comparison." ”

The two discussed a few words, and Guo Beitang went to Junlai Building to take Chef Nawen.

……

……

Li Mo walked towards the mortuary room, and just saw Lin Wei's little guard coming out of the official house, and called out to him, "Brother Li, haven't eaten yet?" ”

Li Mo nodded and said, "Well, I didn't feel hungry, by the way, I saw that little gangster earlier, and he said something strange to me, you have been patrolling that area all year round, you should be familiar with them, what is wrong with those little gangsters?" ”

Lin Wei's little guard said: "I used to be a gangster in that area, so I naturally knew them well, but since I was brought back to the governor's mansion by Governor Song Shao, I became a guard, and I rarely interacted with them......

"Well, by the way, I think of one thing when you mention it, just now when I was looking for people to ask Guo Beitang everywhere, the little second son found me and said that Boss Scar was going to gather everyone to decide a big event tonight, he asked me if I wanted to go, and he couldn't tell him what it was, I refused at that time, we are all guards, and those things are better to be less involved......

Scar Boss?

As soon as Li Mo heard this name, his mind corresponded to the scar man he had seen before, and he shouldn't be wrong, it was this person.

"You're right, it's normal to be a guard and stay away from those little gangsters, and it's not a good thing to think that they are going to do, don't worry about them, where are you going now? Come with me to the mortuary? Li Mo asked.

Lin Wei's little guards slipped away, and the mortuary was unlucky, who had nothing to do with it.

As soon as Li Mo walked into the small courtyard of the mortuary, Xiao Yangdui greeted him happily, "Brother Li, has the case been solved?" I've done a great job. ”

Li Mo snorted, and only went to inspect the dead pig, Xiao Yangdui noticed that something was wrong, and asked cautiously: "Brother Li, what happened, did I do something wrong?" ”

Li Moyi said lightly: "It's not wrong, it's just that someone convicted a person with a little bit of evidence from you, and he was tortured in the court." ”

"Is it Song Dabai, the young governor of Song?" Xiao Yang rolled his eyes and said in annoyance: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't talk nonsense." ”

"Forget it, you can't help but answer when he asks, what's going on with this fist print? There was no record at the time of the autopsy that day. Li Mo asked.

Xiao Yangdui said: "Well, I only found out this morning, I was going to tell you, but you have already left, but you don't want to bump into Mayor Song." Grandpa said that this fist mark was shallow, and it didn't show up at the time, and I washed the body with potion last night, and it slowly came out. ”

Li Mo nodded suddenly, thinking that the means of this work were also advanced. Some of the scars on the corpses are not noticeable and need to be cleaned with a special potion before they can be seen.

Li Moyi encouraged: "You did a good job, do you know when the fist mark was printed, how long before Liu Li died?" Or was he beaten at the time after he died? Can you see it? ”

Xiao Yang said: "Well, grandpa said that the fist mark was hit two hours before he died, Liu Li was a little fat, and the strength of this punch was relatively weak, at most he fell down, so there was no obvious bruise, and it only showed up this morning after rubbing the medicine and wine, and the color was very light, which shows that before he died, the blood had almost dispersed, at least two hours later." ”

This is an answer that Li Mo expected, no wonder Xiao Yangdui proudly said that his grandfather was the first in Anqiu Town.

……

……

Leaving the mortuary, Li Mo came to the prison of the governor's mansion, and there was no scene of shouting grievances, even Song Yan and Zhang Jue, who were sent in by Li Moyi himself, just looked at him indifferently, and went to catch lice on their bodies.

The guards in the prison took Li Moyi to the cell where Liu Da was held, and Li Moyi said to the people huddled on the grass through the cage: "Liu Da, let me ask you, when did you knock down Liu Liyi and snatch the silver that day?" ”

Liu Da opened his eyes and glanced at Li Mo lightly, and then closed his eyes again.

Even if Liu Da didn't harm anyone, but he hurt people and robbed money, according to the law, it was a felony, Xu Guo was still his master, this problem was even more serious, life imprisonment was considered light, and a person without a future naturally couldn't be interested in anything.

Li Mo was not angry, turned his head and asked the cell head, "According to the law, what punishment should a slave be sentenced to for injuring his master and robbing his master of his money?" ”

The cell boss said: "It depends on the situation, the sentence is light, the cane is beaten 100 times, and the exile is thousands of miles, and the sentence is severe, and the head is hanged and beheaded." ”

Liu Da snorted, turned over and ignored it, Li Moyi said: "Liu Da, I know you do this for a reason, if you can provide clues to help us catch the murderer of your master, with meritorious performance, plus you surrendered yourself, Lord Song will give you a light sentence as appropriate, maybe you don't need to be exiled......"

After a pause, "But if you don't report it, we won't be able to solve the case, I'm afraid Lord Song won't be happy, and you will have to suffer at that time." ”

Liu Da seemed to be moved, he turned over and slowly opened his eyes, "Why should I believe you?" ”

Li Mo said leisurely: "Believe it or not, now you have no choice, do you feel ashamed of your master?" I'll tell you another piece of news, this case may involve the Zuomen gang, and when the upper authorities send someone down, you can wait to behead Madame Liu in public on the street. ”

Li Moyi was a lie and threatened, but the beheading was no joke.

"What!!"

Liu Da jumped to his feet in shock, and the heavy shackles on his body seemed to have no effect, but he immediately fell to his knees with a grunt, and the three-stick splint punishment he received in the hall still caused him great damage.

Li Moyi looked at him coldly, this guy deserves to suffer some hardships, who called him a wealth obsesser?

Liu Da knelt down and crawled to the cell door, holding the cell door with both hands and shouting: "I didn't hurt anyone, and my wife didn't do anything wrong, why did you implicate her?" ”

Li Moyi said lightly: "I can reason with you, but the people above will not, your master Liu Liqi was stabbed twice in the abdomen when he was burning yellow paper, and then his throat was cut and died, this is a typical left-door gang style, if you don't tell me the truth, you don't have to say it again in the future." ”

"No!" Liu Da hissed miserably: "Master, your life is so miserable......"

Li Moyi looked at him coldly.

Liu Da cried and shouted for a while, suddenly came to his senses, and shouted at Li Moyi: "Lord Guard, Lord Guard, I didn't hurt anyone, I just borrowed some money from the Lord that day, the Lord didn't allow it, I was obsessed with money for a while, knocked down the Lord for a while, robbed him of his money and left, it was the end of the unitary time, just crossed the bridge, and had not yet reached the side of the North Gate Street, when someone saw it, Lord Guard, you found them, they can testify for me, I robbed the silver and ran away not far away, until I watched the Lord enter the town from a distance. ”

"Oh, and a little faithful...... Liu Li raised you and treated you well, why did you rob him of his silver? Li Moyi asked casually, secretly thinking in his heart, at the end of the unitary hour, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky at the beginning of November was already a little dark, maybe someone followed Liu Li miserly into the town, or saw Liu Li miserly in the town before he suddenly became murderous, but Liu Li should go home directly along the avenue to the south and then west, could it be that the murderer abducted him to the east of the town on the street not far from the town gate?

At this time, Liu Da replied: "It's all to blame on the villain, I am a good gambler, the adult has lent me a lot of money, and has admonished me many times, but I always can't help it...... That day, I borrowed money from the adults again, but the adults refused, and said that if I went to gamble again, they would drive me away, and I ...... I was confused for a moment......"

As soon as Li Mo left Liu Da, who was blaming himself, and left the prison alone, Liu Da said that he regretted it after injuring the adult, but the pressure of the casino forced him to hesitate and hide at a friend's house, until today someone told him that Liu Li was killed, and he returned to Liu's house desperately to ask for guilt, but unfortunately it was too late.

"Who can rob a big living person in the street without attracting attention? Friends? Guards? Or ......" Li Moyi was thinking hard about himself, only to see Guo Baotang striding towards the cell with an iron chain, and Li Mo stopped in shock.

Guo Baitang said to Li Moyi: "Li Moyi, this is the cook Wen Ziquan of Junlailou." ”

Chef Wen stood in front of Li Moyi in a daze, his figure was really tall, looking at his thick arms, the back of his hand full of scars, and his fingers with bulging bones, he really looked fierce.

Guo Baitang said to Li Moyi excitedly: "This guy did lose a set of knives when he held a wedding banquet at the Li family, and then he left the Li family, which was about the beginning of the time (about seven o'clock in the evening), but when he asked him where he went, he refused to say anything, his woman heard that he was arrested, and rushed to the halfway, and after asking, he found that this guy came home at about midnight (about ten o'clock in the evening), and he had enough time to harm people." ”

"I didn't hurt anyone!" Wen Ziquan said.

"It's harmless, why don't you dare to say where you went in that hour and a half?" Guo Beitang kicked Wen Ziquan, Wen Ziquan fell a few steps away, and still shouted that it didn't hurt.

Li Moyi took a leather bag in Guo Beitang's hand, and his hands were heavy.

Guo Baitang said: "This is his new knife, I will put him in prison, Li Moyi, you first take the knife to the mortuary and call Lao Yang to compare, and then go back to the prison to interrogate this dishonest." ”

"I didn't hurt anyone! You can't take my knife to such an obscure place......" Wen Ziquan shouted loudly, but was dragged away by Guo Beitang.

Li Mo shrugged his shoulders, this is the law of these years, whether it is a murderer or not, as long as there is a suspicion, arrest someone first, anyway, it is not illegal to catch the wrong person for the case, and it is okay to even cripple someone.

Thinking of this, Li Mo turned his head and walked towards the mortuary.

……

……

The work of comparing the knives was quickly completed, and Liu Liqi was indeed pierced by the same type of knife, especially the sharp and long boning knife, which was compared with the scar that penetrated Liu Limi's lower abdomen, it was simply a tight fit, since only Chef Wen's kitchen knife in the whole town was missing, then this matter naturally had to fall on him to find out.

……

……

Li Mo came to the cell again, only to see that there was another torture room in the cell, which was equipped with all kinds of torture instruments, Chef Wen was wearing a heavy wooden flail, kneeling on the big washboard to answer Guo Beitang's interrogation, when Li Mo came in, he was already sweating profusely in pain, and he answered quickly, so as not to suffer for a longer time.

Guo Beitang sat on an old wooden chair, holding a porcelain cup in his hand, and said slipperily while tasting tea: "Don't be honest, it seems that you want to suffer a little more, the official has a lot of time, let's slowly consume and play." ”

"Adult, the little one didn't lie, the little one really didn't hurt anyone." Wen Ziquan's endurance is good, Li Mo estimated that he couldn't stand it for at most half a minute when he was kneeling on the washboard under such heavy pressure, Wen Ziquan couldn't bear it, except for sweating profusely, even the voice of his voice didn't change.

Li Moyi whispered a few words in Guo Beitang's ear, Guo Beitang patted the armrest and shouted: "Wen Ziquan, you once said that the new knife is exactly the same as the old knife, isn't it?" ”

Wen Ziquan couldn't bear the pain and said: "Yes, my lord, the knife is our chef and man's business as a eater, if you are not used to using a knife, you can't cut the dishes well, after my knife was stolen, I hit a new set of exactly the same knife." ”

"Humph!"

Guo Beitang threw the bag of knives in front of him, sneered and said: "Now it has been ascertained that it was your old knife that killed Liu Li, a wealthy merchant in Zhenxi, could it be that you lied about losing the knife first, and then abandoned the knife after killing someone?" ”

Wen Ziquan's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "No, my lord, I was wronged!" My knife was indeed stolen, and I didn't hurt anyone! Please, my lord, I can't take it anymore...... Let me get up. ”

"Hmph, why don't you tell me honestly? Where did you go that hour and a half that night? Guo Beitang asked.

"I'm ......" Wen Ziquan peeked at the guards who were watching the excitement in the torture room, Guo Beitang turned his head and waved his hand, Li Mo drove those people out, and when he came back, he heard Wen Ziquan lower his voice and say, "I...... I went to the Pink House......"

"Pink Mansion!!" Guo Beitang blurted out in surprise for a while, and then an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, Taohong Mansion is the largest place in Anqiu Town, that is, the one opened by Song Yan's family, Guo Beitang They have also been there in recent days, and they have made a lot of sweets.

"No, there's nothing you don't dare to say when you go to the Peach Red Mansion, you're lying!" Li Mo said.

Guo Beitang came to his senses: "That's right, there is some truth that you didn't dare to say in front of your mother and boss before, what else is there to say when you enter here, what are you hiding?" If you're not honest, I'll tell you to kneel here until dawn tomorrow!" ”

"No, I'm not lying!" After the collapse, Wen Ziquan's face quickly turned pale, sweat poured down, his waist was weak, his upper body fell forward, and the wooden flail on his shoulders immediately hit the ground, Wen Ziquan roared and said: "My good friend Yun girl in the Peach Red Mansion is proficient in cooking, and I am going to learn the art ......"

Li Moyi and Guo Beitang were stunned, and then they both laughed, this is indeed an unspeakable secret, the top chef in Anqiu Town actually wants to go to the Peach Red House to learn cooking skills from a laughing woman, no wonder he has always refused to say, once it spreads, I am afraid that he will never have the face to stay in Anqiu Town again.

After Guo Beitang finished laughing, he looked at Li Moyi and asked him for advice.

Li Moyi said in a low voice: "After recording a confession, let him go, with his skills and strength, why do you need to use a second effort to pierce a person's stomach, the murderer is definitely a novice in playing with knives, not him." ”

Guo Beitang nodded.

……

……

After recording the confession, Wen Ziquan was let go.

Li Moyi carefully studied the confession, but Guo Beitang was anxiously pacing back and forth, and couldn't help but urge: "Li Moyi, what should we do now?" ”

Li Mo put down the confession in his hand: "Take all the guards and go to Li Dashan's house, I have been busy for a day, and I haven't even eaten lunch, just so that Li Dashan can break his wealth and reward the brothers." ”

Guo Beitang raised his eyebrows: "Does this matter have to fall on the Li family?" ”

Li Mo smiled and said, "Well, it's a big thing to be hungry, and it must land on the Li family...... Haha, don't worry, Guo Beitang, I probably already know who the murderer is, in addition to mixing delicious food, I went to the Li family to verify some things, and I can catch the murderer before the time of today. ”

After taking Wen Ziquan's confession, I have to go to the Li family to verify it anyway, and finding an excuse to eat for nothing is also the way for the guards to survive.

Guo Beitang's face changed slightly, and then he nodded, but he didn't doubt Li Moyi's words, after the previous cases, he had completely believed in Li Moyi's ability to solve the case.

Guo Beitang gathered more than a dozen guards in the official residence without saying a word, and when he heard that there was a chance to eat for nothing, everyone was so unhappy, after listening to Li Moyi's words, they were neatly dressed, brought all the iron cuffs, wooden flails, and water and fire sticks, and rushed to Li Dashan's house in the east of the town.

……

……

Li Dashan is the leading rich man in the east of Anqiu Town, and he has also done some good deeds on weekdays, so people who don't know him call him Li Dashan.

Originally, Li Moyi didn't pay much attention to it, but that day he got the news from the gangsters, and Li Dashan was kind and kind on the surface, but secretly he did all kinds of evil.

Subsequently, Li Moyi asked Lin Wei's little guard for confirmation, after all, Lin Wei was also a gangster in this area, what should he know, this question is unbelievable, and he really asked Li Moyi something boring.

In short, this Li family's mansion is full of theft and tyrants.

……

……

The group quickly felt the gate of the Li family.

Li Dashanren's housekeeper was standing happily in front of the door, and suddenly saw a group of menacing guards rushing straight over with guys, he was so frightened that he hurriedly avoided the door, and when he was calling someone to close the door, a water and fire stick had been lit into the threshold, Li Mo smiled and said to the housekeeper who was so frightened that his face turned pale: "This housekeeper, the official residence is handling the case and the door is open quickly." ”
