Chapter 71: Zhao Liuye robbed the corpse
Di Renjie's words have been said, and everyone present was shocked, and everyone turned their eyes to Zhao Liu, and Zhao Liu, who was exposed, was even more stunned!
"Good! Zhao Liu, Zhao Liu, our Xilin Villa has always treated you well, why did you do such a thing? What a sin that deserves death! Butler Tang Lu cursed!
Seeing that Zhao Liu was silent, Di Renjie paced to Zhao Liu's side and said with a smile: "Hehe, Zhao Liu, if you don't say it, then I'll say it for you, right?" ”
Zhao Liu looked up at Di Renjie, and then lowered his head again!
Di Renjie didn't pay attention to it, patted Zhao Liu, and continued: "Last night, you took advantage of the unpreparedness to sneak into the room where the corpse was parked and stole the corpse, but today you learned that the corpse was poisoned and died, and touching the corpse will cause poisoning, so you instigated He San to sneak out of the village and bring back the antidote for you!" You do this for two purposes, first, if He San returns successfully, you will get the antidote, and second, if He San is unfortunately arrested, it can also disturb everyone's sight, point the suspicion at He San, and create an opportunity for you to clear yourself! Am I right? ”
"You are talking nonsense, there is no evidence, Hugh wants to spew blood, I just gave He San an idea, as for asking him to bring me medicine, I also said, I just have a headache, I am reluctant to find Lang Zhong, I heard that these medicinal materials can cure headaches, so let He San bring me some by the way! Besides, there is a lock on the door from Steward Tang himself, and I don't have a key, how can I get in? Zhao Liu argued!
"Oh? You weren't there at the time, how did you know that there was a lock on the door from Steward Tang? Di Renjie suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked sharply!
"I, I, I know the habits of the village, like, like this kind of thing, Steward Tang must personally lock it!" Zhao Liu stammered and quibbled!
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! Zhao Liu, Zhao Liu, although your panic is very clumsy, but I believe you! But I want to remind you, even if He San brings back these flavored medicines, it still can't solve the corpse poison on your body, you can take off your clothes now and see for yourself, now the corpse poison in you has already appeared on your body! Di Renjie said with a sneer!
Zhao Liu was taken aback, but immediately regained his composure, and smiled contemptuously: "Hmph, you want to cheat me? If I strip and check, I'll fall into your trap! ”
"Hahaha! Zhao Liu, Zhao Liu, I kindly wanted to save your life, but you said that I lied to you, then you can see for yourself! As he spoke, Di Renjie raised the bronze mirror on the back case and put it in front of Zhao Liu's eyes!
At this time, Zhao Liu was completely panicked, because in the bronze mirror, Zhao Liu saw several round black dots on the left side of his neck!
"How? See? If you don't heal it in time, black spots will grow all over your body, and when your whole body turns black, you will be like that corpse! Di Renjie said with a gloomy face!
Zhao Liu was already trembling like chaff at this time, and knelt on the ground with an ordinary sound, "Mr. save me, I say, I say it all!" ”
Di Renjie was not in a hurry at this time, sat on the chair, and took a sip of tea!
Zhao Liu didn't have the original toughness at this moment, and spread it on the ground and said, "That corpse was indeed stolen by me!" That person is my fellow villager, called Meng Dahu, he knew that I was working in Xilin Villa, so he asked me to help him also get an errand in Xilin Villa, just at that time there was a shortage of a handy man in the backyard, so I introduced him, after he finished his first day of work, he invited me to drink, but I drank too much, and I don't know how, we quarreled, and I strangled him to death as soon as I missed! ”
"Oh, I remembered, there is indeed such a person, called Meng Dahu, who came to the village to work for a day, and then disappeared! I thought I couldn't stand it and ran away, but I was killed by you? Butler Tang Lu said suddenly!
"Steward Tang, don't interrupt him yet, let him continue!" Di Renjie said!
"After I strangled Meng Dahu to death, I was afraid that someone would find out, so I tied a big stone to him and threw it into the lotus pond! Yesterday I heard that a corpse had been found in the lotus pond, and I was afraid that the corpse would be recognized, so I sneaked into the house and stole the corpse! Zhao Liu confessed with a crying voice!
"You quarreled and fought with Meng Dahu, didn't anyone find out?" Di Renjie asked!
"We know about their quarrel, we heard a quarrel in the house of the two of them that night, we knew that it must be this Zhao Liu who drank too much, he drank too much like that, we are all used to it, but we didn't think he would kill someone?" A Zhuang Ding said!
"And where is the body you stole now?" Di Renjie asked!
"There is a dry well behind our miscellaneous room, I threw Meng Dahu into it!" Zhao Liu said!
"Oh! It turns out that this is the case, Steward Tang, detain this Zhao Liu first, and tomorrow we will pick up the corpses in the dry well and send them to the officials together, right? Di Renjie turned his head and said to the housekeeper Tang Lu!
"Good! Everything is according to Mr. Huai's wishes! Butler Tang Lu said respectfully!
"Oh, by the way, this He San was also deceived for a while, since his mother is seriously ill, please ask Steward Tang to look at Huai's face, don't blame him, let him go home to visit his mother, right?" Di Renjie said suddenly!
"This is nature, this is nature, Mr. Huai is kind-hearted, Tang Lu admires!" The housekeeper Tang Lu complimented!
"Oops! Mr. Huai, Mr. Huai, I have already explained, you can save me! Zhao Liu knelt on the ground and begged again and again!
"Hahaha! Zhao Liu, Zhao Liu, let me tell you the truth, in fact, there is no corpse poison at all, it was just made up by me on purpose, the purpose is to lure you to appear, and those black spots on your neck were also ordered by me just when you were not paying attention! As he spoke, Di Renjie raised one of his hands, and there were still black ink stains on his fingertips!
"Huh? You ......" Zhao Liu beat his chest in anger!
"Come on, take this thief down, take it under strict guard, and send it to the yamen of the state capital tomorrow to see the official!" Butler Tang Lu shouted!
"It's not too early, the old man has to go back to make up for sleep! This man is old, and his body is useless! Di Renjie said with emotion!
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm really sorry to bother Mr. Huai late at night, Mr. Huai, please go back to the room and rest first! Butler Tang Lu said respectfully!
Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang walked side by side on the way back, Li Yuanfang saw that there was no one around, and suddenly said: "My lord, didn't you say that the corpse entered this lotus pond from the waterway in Daqing Mountain?" ”
Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang and said with a smile: "I think we will have the answer when the corpse in the dry well is seen again tomorrow!" ”
