This tragedy happened on Halloween, which made the people in Pengzhou City panic, and the Mu Governor's Mansion handed over the case to Xiao Qi, the head catcher, so that she could find out the results within three days to appease the people.

Xiao Qi asked the catchers to summon the families of the two deceased to the county office.

Tofu Shih's family cried miserably, especially Tofu Shih's mother, who looked like she was about to fall, if it wasn't for her daughter-in-law's support, she would definitely not be able to stand.

And Pork Zhang's mother-in-law, Zhang Chen, did not have a sad look on her face.

Zhang Guozi pulled Li Sihu beside him, and said in a low voice: "It may have been killed by the Jiangdong lion of the pork Zhang family, you can't see the sad look on her face, you can see how sad Sister Lan's family is crying." ”

Li Sihu: "Sister Huanlan, hurry up and change your words, you are a fast catcher, there is no conclusive evidence, you must not casually wronged people." ”

Even Sister Lan didn't let people shout, Zhang Guozi closed her mouth aggrievedly.

Xiao Qi decided to take each of the characters related to the case to the torture room for interrogation.

Pork Zhang's wife Zhang Chen, who was brought over for interrogation first.

Zhang Chen's family was very stout, and Zhang Guozi thought that she was the one who killed her, so he said to Zhang Chen's in a fierce tone: "When did you go out on the Zhongyuan Festival, and was there anything unusual about him that day?" Do you have any scrambles? Do you want your husband to die? ”

Zhang Chen knelt on the ground straight, and his voice was terrible: "Of course I want him to die, he deserves it, all the money earned in the pork shop was given to Tofu Shih Tzu by him, my youngest son had a fever in the middle of the night some time ago, and the family didn't even have money to see a doctor, but he was happy in Tofu Shih, my poor little son passed away like that, I want him to die, bad master, I really want him to die-"

Zhang Chen's expression became sad as he spoke, and tears kept flowing down his cheeks, "My poor little son, when he was alive, he called his father so dear, but that human-faced beast-hearted thing didn't care about his son's life or death......"

Zhang Chen fainted on the ground as he spoke, and Xiao Qi asked Zhang Chen to help him to the bed in the back room.

Zhang Guozi shook his head and sighed: "She looks like a fierce woman, but she is also a poor person." ”

Xiao Qi: "Let someone invite Langzhong." ”

Then he interrogated Tofu Shih's family.

Tofu Shih's family members wept bitterly and looked sad.

Xiao Qi: "On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Tofu Shih Tzu was killed in the tofu workshop, where were you at that time?" ”

The eldest brother of Tofu Shih Tzu stood up, "My lord, my two younger brothers and I had dinner together at Xianghuafang that day. ”

Xianghuafang is a relatively civilian brothel in Pengzhou City, what the eldest brother of Tofu Shih Tzu said is half-true, he did drink with his two younger brothers in Xianghuafang that day, but they were in different small rooms, each holding a different beauty to drink and sleep.

Li Sihu: "I heard that you are frequent visitors to Xianghuafang, but the neighbors said that your brothers do not have a stable income, so quickly explain where the money to Xianghuafang comes from." ”

The three brothers, you look at me, I look at you, and they are silent.

Xiao Qi: "Come on, punish them." ”

The torture equipment was quickly moved up, and after entering the yamen, the third child, who had been trembling with his legs and feet, took the lead in kneeling down: "Bad master, bad master, don't be punished, I will confess, I will confess, the money is all earned by my sister." ”

Li Sihu pressed his hand to the big knife on his waist and bluffed: "Your sister is just a tofu seller, how can the money she earns be able for your brother to spend so lavishly, and if you don't tell the truth, I will beat you board." ”

The old lady stopped in front of her son in a trembling manner, "Don't hit my son - don't hit my son." ”

Xiao Qi: "Fifty boards for one person." ”

My sister's reputation is long gone anyway, they don't want to be beaten, fifty boards will kill people, so the three brothers rushed to answer.

"My sister is good-looking."

"My sister has a lot of good friends."

"My sister's money came from her friends."

……

Ah Mo learned from the women in the market and snorted at the three brothers: "These brothers look like people, but I didn't expect that they are not even as good as livestock." ”

Zhang Guozi: "They look like Sister Lan, so they look pretty good, poor Sister Lan has a good life......

Ah Mo: "It's good-looking and has a fart, all of them are wolf-hearted things, and they live by sucking their sister's blood, and their cheeks are really not ordinary thick ......"

"The poor will have something to hate." Mu Ziqi said and knocked the folding fan on his left hand, crackling, and his movements were extremely chic.

Xiao Qi opened his mouth and wanted to scold the three brothers, but in the end he didn't just say: "Let them go back." ”

When the brothers walked out of the hall with a sigh of relief, Xiao Qi sighed and said, "Looking at the appearance of these brothers, the suspicion can basically be ruled out." However, I think it's strange that Tofu Shih Tzu has never felt that there is anything wrong with such a day? ”

Mu Ziqi: "According to the confession of Pork Zhang's neighbor, Pork Zhang's wife went back to her parents' house after having a fight with Pork Zhang on the tenth day of the first month, so she is not very suspicious." Since several brothers of Tofu Shih Tzu say that Tofu Shih Tzu has a lot of good looks, the possibility of affectionate killing cannot be ruled out. ”

So Xiao Qi took the catchers to visit the people near the tofu workshop, hoping to find useful clues.

……

A group of catchers quickly stopped in front of the tofu shop, which immediately attracted a lot of onlookers.

Xiao Qi stepped on a bench, "On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, did you see anyone in and out of the tofu workshop?" ”

The owner of the dim sum shop next to the tofu shop stood up and said: "On the day of the Midyear Festival, I saw Tofu Shih's mother go to the shop, and she would go over every morning to help Tofu Shih Tzu make tofu together. Tofu Shih's brothers all love to drink, and if they drink too much, they beat women and create evil - two women support a large family of men. ”

The proprietress of the dim sum shop took a broom and hit her man in the face, "That tofu Shih Tzu is a fox, you actually pity her, could it be that you also have a leg with tofu Shih Tzu?" ”

The owner of the dim sum shop hugged his head and scurried, "Wronged, madam, I have the heart of a thief and I don't have the courage of a thief." ”

Li Sihu scared the woman with a straight face: "Stop, you want to fight home, you dare to interrupt when the master asks, do you want to be beaten?" ”

The proprietress of the dim sum shop listened to Li Sihu's words, and reluctantly returned to her shop with a broom.

Xiao Qi asked the others again: "Have you seen anyone else go later?" ”

After the owner of the dim sum shop left, no one answered again.

Xiao Qi had no choice but to use a killer move: "The reward for providing useful clues is fifty big money." ”

The crowd was lively again, and there was all the gossip and everything.

The tofu shop said to the old Li Tou, who sold wine at the door: "On the day of the Midyear Festival, I saw Wang Shanglang go to the tofu shop. ”

Wang Xianglang shrank his head and stood aside, and when he heard someone testifying against him, he trembled a few times in fright.
