Chapter 195: It's Really Not Me
Su Lingyu stood in front of the workshop, looking at the half-burned workshop, with no expression on his face, but he was very angry in his heart.
The workshop of twenty acres of land was burned in half.
"I waited to put out the fire, but I forgot about this side for a while, and the thieves took advantage of it and taught him to run into the house and set fire to it."
"The fire was raging, and the flames were bursting up all at once, and we didn't have time to run back."
"This is a fire lit with oil, which cannot be extinguished by water, and is extinguished with sand later."
The patrol leader was very worried, and the workshop was burned in his hands. If you sell his family, you won't lose money!
The more silent the master, the more worried he became.
Kapok squatted down and pried open the plank on the ground, "Sister, the smell of fire oil." ”
"San'er's side." Su Chengqi stood outside the door and called her.
Seeing her sister going out, Kapok jumped up and followed her sister out.
Su Chengqi pointed to the old man and asked him to come over.
"Third Miss." The old man hunched down.
"He said he knew who set the fire." Su Chengqi said.
"Old man, I often sell tea at the end of the street, and the day before yesterday, Li Heng came to my stall to drink, and met two foreign businessmen. They repeatedly told Li Heng that you were not, and said a lot of things to sow discord.
At that time, Li Heng's face was very bad, and he seemed to have listened to it. Li Heng, who comes to drink twice as much every day, didn't appear yesterday. The person who set the fire could have been him. ”
"It must be him." Someone on the periphery shouted.
The person who was blocked outside shouted loudly: "I saw his wife buying fire oil, and her wife said that Li Heng wanted to concentrate on developing new processes and consume fuel at night." I bought ten catties of fire oil at once. ”
With one more witness, it is difficult not to suspect Li Heng.
Su Chengqi raised his arms and shouted, "Come, follow me to find Li Heng." Son of a bitch, ungrateful. ”
Su Chengqi took people to find Li Heng, Li Heng's wife lied that Li Heng was not there, and when Su Chengqi led people to break into the house, he found Li Heng hiding under the bed.
Now it's okay, all kinds of signs indicate that Li Heng set fire to the house.
Su Chengqi tied Li Heng to the government and wanted to go to Su Chong's trial.
Looking at the broken beams and pillars, Su Zhong patted his forehead.
He San'er said: "There will be no accident in the morning, no accident in the evening, but there is an accident at this moment." If I lock up Li Heng, people outside will say that I am biased, protect the interests of my family, and disregard people's lives. If Li Heng is released, there will be no reason to talk about the affairs of the family. Do you think it's hard for me? ”
If Da Lang locks up Li Heng, or kills Li Heng. In the future, when Dalang's position is in danger, someone will come out, pretend to be a witness, expose Dalang, and say that Dalang killed innocents indiscriminately.
If Da Lang let Li Heng go easily, Su Ji could only suffer a dumb loss.
Su Lingyu said: "You have to collect human and physical evidence and deal with it impartially." ”
"Not only that, but we also have to protect Li Heng's safety. Let him live well and watch the case unfold. First, you have to have a public trial. Secondly, he must not be detained by the people of the government, but by the people outside. In case someone kills us with a knife and throws dirty water on us. ”
"That's all there is to it!" Su Zhong is also very big.
Technician Li Heng was brought over, he struggled and shouted.
"It's not me, I don't. I didn't set the fire. ”
The servant lowered the man and placed him at Su Chong's feet.
Li Heng stood up and said boldly and timidly: "It's not me, I didn't set the fire." ”
"Why are you hiding under the bed if it's not you?" Su Chengqi asked him.
"I ...... I ......" Li Heng hesitated, "I'm afraid, I've always been timid, I'm afraid that you won't believe me." ”
Su Zhong asked him, "Where did you go last night?" ”
"At home."
"Who can testify?"
"My mother can testify, and so can my children." Li Heng said.
Li Heng's lady said loudly: "My man, really at home." I can attest to that. ”
In court, what relatives say may not be true. The trust level of the Li family's lady is halved.
"Who else can prove you're at home?"
Li Heng choked his neck and said, "At night, every family is closed and sleeping, who can see me when I am at home or when I go out?" ”
"It's that no one saw you, so you're very suspicious. Come, bring it back to the government office, and put it in the dungeon. ”
"No, no, my lord, my man really didn't go out." Li Heng's lady ran to kneel down and said.
Li Heng was even more afraid, trembling and said, "I'm really at home, I've been working on the machine, and I've never gone out." ”
"I, there is a weaving sound in my house, and I can hear it outside." Li Heng became anxious.
Su Chong asked people to find Li Heng's neighbors and ask them if they heard the sound.
Some say yes, some say no.
The husband who came to him said: "I heard a sound from the Li family, like the sound of weaving, and like the sound of beating wood. I don't remember clearly. ”
"A man can weave, a woman can weave, and no one can prove who is in the house." Su Zhong commanded, "Tie him up, tie him to this pillar." Wait for the official to find out the truth. ”
Li Heng begged bitterly, "It's really not me." ”
Su Chengqi walked with his son, "Li Heng is the most suspicious, he has just been dismissed, and there must be hatred in his heart." He was familiar with our workshop, and there was a testimony that he had bought kerosene. We didn't find the oil in his house just now, so he must have set fire to the workshop. ”
"According to the situation last night, someone moved the tiger away from the mountain, led the guards away, and then went inside to set fire to the house. The place where the fire started was not anywhere else, but where the cocoons and cloth were stored. ”
"This man must be someone who is familiar with the workshop, but this man has other helpers, otherwise he will not be able to get things done. Anyone is suspicious, not just Li Heng. ”
Su Chong arrived, the first room that caught fire.
San'er was already inside and looked at it for a while.
"Did you find a clue?"
Su Lingyu pondered for a while before saying, "No, the person who set the fire was very smart, he lit it with a linen cloth dipped in oil, and then put another fire in the firewood room." Let everyone quickly find out that the fire is on fire, and it can make the fire not so quickly extinguished. ”
"This time, it was a team of at least six people. One sets a fire outside, one inside. Then there were people hiding in the shadows, waiting for our patrol to run out, and then going inside and setting fires. ”
Su Chong said: "Investigate, who lives here these days." ”
Su Lingyu and Da Lang said: "The gatekeeper in the workshop will also be investigated, they have the key, it may not be that they opened the door to let the thieves in." ”
"There may be a thief, and all the stewards will investigate."
There's a lot going on right now!
Su Chengqi sent people out and brought a group of stewards into the workshop and inquired one by one.
Ask them if they gave the keys to outsiders, ask them where they were last night and where they put the keys.
And Su Zhong took the investigation to see if anyone had noticed anything unusual last night, and there were outsiders haunting. asked them again if they saw Li Heng go out last night.
Su Lingyu set up a chair and sat in the middle hall of the workshop, listening to the news from all parties and sorting out his thoughts.
