Chapter 87: Forced to be positive
Before Lan Ting could say the request, he saw Chungui's stunned and sad appearance, and thought that she really expected the north window to lie high and the pot to be leisurely, but if she married herself, it was inevitable that the camp would be driven away and labored, so he first saved a little shame, and then with a little relief: "Actually, it's not a big deal, and I need to inform you, I want Mo to ask the little Taoist to help measure the word and find people." ”
How do you know that Chungui's heart is even more "mournful": this is quite simple? Don't ask where the liar can find people? If I hadn't lied for him, those tricks of pretending to be gods and ghosts would not have been debunked by you at a glance, uncle, I really don't know what evil I bumped into today, and troublesome things are one after another.
But to be fair, Chun Gui has to admit that from Lan Ting's point of view, this is really not a big deal, and he doesn't even need to come forward at all, probably because he thinks that Mo Wen got acquainted through himself, so he can't hide it.
"Don't you want Mo to ask whom?" Chungui sighed in resignation, followed by cheering up, pretending to be curious to get to the bottom of it.
There was no way, who made her decide to follow the instructions of the Yuyang True Monarch of Nalao Shizi and help those delusional souls, so she had to borrow the mouth of this little god stick. Originally, a lie needs a bunch of lies to be fulfilled, not to mention that the lies themselves may continue to be used.
Hui Hui didn't seem to want to ask. Lan Ting still saw through the reluctance of the spring return.
"Where and where, I am worried because of my wife's entrustment, so my face is sad, but since it is a strange thing, it is no different from my business, we are husband and wife, of course, we must work together and work together." Chungui spoke sweetly while opening his eyes vigorously, so as to show his sincerity.
It happened to be half a face, facing the slanting sun outside the corridor, her eyes were benevolent and bright, like a streamer of water, which was the beauty of the orchid court in the past, and it was not amazing.
Lan Ting clearly realized this time that because of this beauty, he had a momentary heart, and he needed to avoid his eyes and be calm and calm in order to respond to the question without revealing flaws.
What did she just ask?
In the end, Lan Ting had to clench his fist against his lips and cough twice to hide the not so obvious embarrassment, so that he could start with the "uninvited guest" Hua Xiaoji as usual, and the simple narration of the Dongxu murder case still revealed the clues of "God is not guarding" - he still didn't say who he asked Tomo to ask for word testing, who he was looking for.
However, when Chungui heard about this case involving two lives, she lost the anxiety of trouble, and compared to helping Mrs. Shen and her subordinate officials and daughters in the dispute between her relatives, she was obviously more willing to focus on the matter of "hoeing violence and peace".
"But just because of that Hua Langjun's words, do you really believe that there is something strange about this case?" Chungui has no reservations because he has not seen Hua Xiaoji, after all, it is not uncommon for a woman to hook up with a foreign man and kill her husband in the world, and you can't believe that she was wronged and defiled just because Jiang is a woman in a weak position.
"When I first flipped through the file of the case, I had doubts in my heart, according to the investigation, the place where the crime occurred was at Wu's house, and the time of the crime was three watches in the middle of the night, even if according to Wu Ergui's confession, the deceased Wu Dagui was drinking at his house that night, and at first he also said that he would stay at his house, but the residence of the two brothers was originally close to each other, where did the Jiang family dare to have a relationship with the adulterer at home, which is too easy to be broken by her husband. Not to mention that the Wu family only has five tiled houses in the courtyard, and there is a family of four, with a widowed mother and a pair of children, although it is not cramped, but it is not rich, how can there be the convenience of adultery and cheating? ”
Seeing that Chun Guixian was serious, Lan Ting was no longer distracted, and when the two discussed the case, they said those ambiguous words, but no one was embarrassed.
"It's a little unreasonable." Spring returns to the head.
According to Hua Jun, on the night of the crime, Wu Dagui and Jiang's eldest son Yunkang faintly heard the noise, got up to look outside the house, but saw that his father Wu Dagui had fallen into the yard, with a firewood knife thrown by his side, and it was stained with blood, and the people who quarreled were his mother and grandmother, because the doors and windows of Jiang's house were closed, Yunkang couldn't see the situation inside, and only heard Jiang not knowing who was the murderer, but Wu's mother reprimanded Jiang's blood and mouth, threatening her not to make a noise, followed by a scuffle, Jiang's was obviously invincible, Crying and moaning, Yunkang heard his grandmother shouting, 'Ergui, you take care of the severity'. ”
"The deceased's brother was in the Jiang family's room that night?" Chungui exclaimed.
"This is the statement of the eldest son of the deceased." Lan Ting added: "Wu Yun Kangshang is still a child, but he must be quite smart, seeing his father's tragic death and his mother being forced, he quietly opened the courtyard door and ran out, but he is still a child, and he doesn't know what to do in a panic, but fortunately, he thought that his father's friend Hua Jun lived nearby, so he ran to ask for help, but when Hua Jun arrived at the scene, it should be Wu Ergui who had already found out about his nephew's outing, and he knew that it was difficult to hide the matter, so he took the first step to report to the official, and when the official government came, both sides insisted on their own words, For a while, he couldn't tell which was true and which was false, and Wu Ergui and Jiang were both detained and interrogated. ”
"The testimony of the deceased's son said that he did not first hear his grandmother reprimand Jiang for colluding with a foreign man to murder her husband?"
"Yes, but when the official arrived, Wu's mother insisted that Jiang was the murderer, and Wu Ergui arrived afterwards." After the murder of the Wang family, he has recognized Chungui's ability to "detect": "Hua Jun is precisely because of Wu Xiaolang's narration, suspecting that the Jiang family was wronged, and Wu Ergui is the real murderer of his brother. ”
"It's not strange, maybe Jiao's wife will inevitably blame herself because Wu Xiaolang's father was killed by her husband, and pity the Wu family brothers and sisters for not being taken care of by their parents, so she makes up for one or two." Spring return makes people think of kindness.
"But after Jiao Manshi absconded, Jiao's wife was also alone, raising a son and a daughter, the situation was much worse than before, and how much hardship was added to the past, didn't she complain at all that Jiao Manshi had committed adultery with the Jiang family and ruined the original peace and happiness." Lan Ting shook his head and said: "The nature of most people will always be the first to investigate the faults of others, unless Jiao's wife does not believe that there is an adulterous affair between her husband and the Jiang family, how can she not complain about the cause of the Jiang family at all, if she has a grudge against the Jiang family, how can she secretly help the children of the Jiang family when she is also deeply affected?" ”
Chungui had to admit that Lan Ting's suspicions were also justified.
"Today, after I agreed to Hua Jun's request, I immediately made it clear to the master and interrogated the Jiang family again."
"What did she say?" Chungui asked busily.
"She pleaded guilty to her crimes."
"Huh?!"
"But for the facts of the case, Jiang Shi could not confess clearly at all, only cried repeatedly, saying that she had signed and drawn the detention, begging for no more torture, no matter how I appeased her, she was like a frightened bird, it seems that she has been detained for a long time, and she has been tortured and questioned, and even her mind is almost broken, and she seems to be crazy and irrational."
"Jiang has become this situation, isn't this case even more difficult to prove?" Chungui sighed.
"I can only let Ah Zhuang diagnose and treat the Jiang family first, and see if there will be any improvement, in addition, there is also a key person is Jiao Manshi, I heard Mr. Yin say that the murder of the heir brother was revealed by Mo Dao Chang through word testing, so I thought about whether I could ask Dao Chang to help him and find Jiao Manshi as soon as possible."
Chungui propped his forehead, and it took a long time to think of an excuse to shirk it a little: "The person who needs to be tested is a relative of the missing person, according to Mo Wen, he also has to look at the physiognomy of his relatives before he can accurately determine the good luck of life and death, but can you be sure that Jiao's wife is willing to cooperate?" If she is worried that Jiao Manshi is indeed the real murderer, and she still remembers the love between husband and wife, she is afraid that she will not see Jiao Manshi fall into the net, so that the two children will completely lose their father. ”
Lan Ting thought about it carefully, and his brows furrowed slightly, obviously annoyed by the reminder of the return of spring.
"It's better for us to divide labor and cooperate again this time, and try to compete, and see who can take the lead in finding out the facts of the case this time." Chun Gui is really positive this time: "I am responsible for the Jiao family, Mo Wen and I strive to find out where Jiao Manshi is going, I can also recommend one person to Ji Bei, that is, Brother Sun Shi, according to Ji Bei, the murder of the Wu family in Dongxu happened in the old years, at that time Shi Liangxing served as the governor, and this case was presided over by his party from Hu Duan, if there is really a grievance, Hu Duan should cover up the evidence of the crime, it is not easy to inquire about the truth from the officials involved in this case, but Brother Sun Shi is a credible person, it is better to ask Brother Sun Shi, at that time did he find anything strange. ”
You can't disregard people's lives, and you can't shirk the investigation of this case, but you can't let Lan Ting find out that Mo Wen is a "fraud", only this method can give you the best of both worlds.
