Chapter Seventy-Five: The Arsonist Is Caught

"Yes!"

Several officials dispersed and began to search the scene of the fire and suspicious places in the surrounding area.

The burning shelves and bamboo dustpans in the courtyard were splashed with water when they were fighting the fire just now, and they were barely visible.

The door of the locked hut was not burned, but there were obvious wine stains on the door.

After a while, the officials took all the suspicious items and placed them in front of Gu Jinghuai, and reported them carefully.

"Lord Huiyu County, I found wine stains on the door and shelves of the winery, and found a wine jug not far from the winery."

Lin Muyu and the others became more and more weak, and their legs trembled unconsciously.

Gu Jinghuai said coldly: "Body search." ”

Lin Muyu and the others were rampant and domineering in the village on weekdays, but when they met the biggest official in the county, they didn't have any power to parry at all, and they didn't dare to say anything.

Soon, the official searched for a flint and steel from Lin Muyu and an empty wine jug from the thin man.

It turned out that after drinking the remaining sip of wine from last night, the thin man put the wine jug on his body and did not dispose of it.

Shen Yuerong also came back to her senses at this time, took out the firewood that she thought was the source of the fire, and put them together.

The official went back and forth: "Lord County Commander, this person has found a wine jug, as well as flints, and kerosene on the firewood given by this girl. ”

Gu Jinghuai glanced at all the suspicious items, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

His cold and majestic voice reached the ears of Lin Muyu and the others: "Be lenient in confession, strict in resistance." ”

The faces of the people behind Lin Muyu turned pale with fright, and no one dared to speak.

Although he was also very scared, in order to escape the crime, he had to kowtow and quibble: "County magistrate, wronged, we were just passing by here, and there was absolutely no arson. ”

A few other frightened and trembling people responded in mosquito-like voices: "Wronged, wronged." ”

Shen Yuerong looked at Lin Muyu's skinless and faceless appearance, and stepped forward angrily.

She walked to Wang Xiucai with two wine jugs, the wine jugs were empty, but there was always some residue, and the taste was still there, these two jugs were the smell of burning knives.

Shen Yuerong wasn't very sure, and only after Wang Xiucai nodded did she walk up to Gu Jinghuai: "Gu County Order, we don't have such wine in our winery, so I asked Wang Xiucai to help me confirm that these two pots of wine are the same." ”

Lin Muyu and the others trembled even more, and Lin Muyu also argued strongly: "Wronged, isn't this sorghum wine all the same?" The village is full of the same sorghum wine. ”

Shen Yuerong snorted coldly: "This is a burning knife, didn't you say that you drank this wine yourself?" Why don't you even know whether you drink burnt knives or sorghum wine? ”

Lin Muyu knelt on the ground and trembled, his face was pale, and he scolded his father in his heart.

actually has the money to buy burning knives, how much private money is hidden, and now he will be miserable.

Lin Muyu and his party began to tremble again, and no one else dared to speak, Lin Muyu stammered: "I, I remember wrong." ”

If you admit it, you can't go to jail? I set the fire and ran away, and no one saw it, so I didn't admit it.

Steward Huang was also carefully looking at those suspicious items, and found that there were obvious traces of kerosene at the end of the firewood given by Shen Yuerong, and it must have been a thief.

Steward Huang said to the servant, "Let's see which of them smells of kerosene." ”

The official quickly took the thin man's hand and said, "Lord County Commander, this person has a strong smell of kerosene on his hands. ”

Gu Jinghuai glanced at the thin man and asked, "The wine jug and kerosene are all related to you." ”

The thin man's whole body trembled with fright, trembling like a sieve, and the corners of his mouth twitched and he couldn't say a word.

Gu Jinghuai had a cold face: "The main offender and the accomplice, the crime is not the same." ”

Gu Jinghuai's tone was cold, and it gave people a sense of majesty, which made the thin man feel a strong sense of oppression.

He looked at the other bastards again, and said coldly: "The first one to confess to the main culprit will be punished lightly!" ”

The thin man's face was pale with fright, and the physical evidence was all found on his body, and it would be miserable if he was regarded as the main culprit.

Now he was afraid that he would be robbed of his qualifications to be lightly disqualified, so he hurriedly knelt down and moved towards Gu Jinghuai.

He pointed his finger at Lin Muyu and shouted loudly: "It's him, he made us do it!" ”

Lin Muyu was angry and frightened, and he couldn't see a trace of blood on his face.

An imperceptible sneer rose at the corner of Gu Jinghuai's mouth, and he said to the thin man: "Explain the cause of the incident and explain it clearly." ”

The thin man began to talk about Lin Muyu looking for them to come to the soju shop because he couldn't get money from the Shen family.

I was afraid that the fire would not burn, so I brought wine over to help burn.

I just want to shochu shop, but I'm afraid that the fire will be too big, and the matter will be too big.

They thought that by hiding aside with a wooden barrel, they could become firefighting heroes by the way, and maybe they could get Lizheng's reward.

The more Shen Yuerong listened, the more she wanted to laugh, these people were really stupid and bad!

After the thin man finished speaking, Shen Yuerong stepped forward and pointed at the thin man again: "Say, last time you stole wine, did you also have a share?" ”

Gu Jinghuai frowned slightly when he heard Shen Yuerong's words, and quickly regained a cold face.

How come there was a last time?

The thin man now just wants to fight for a light hairfall, and he said it without much hesitation: "He brought us here last time, and he said that if he stole the wine, he invited us to drink, and the adults spared their lives!" ”

Gu Jinghuai glanced at the main culprit Lin Muyu, Lin Muyu was frightened by Gu Jinghuai's fierce eyes and peed his pants directly, there was no blood on his face, and his lips were as white as paper.

The fat on a flatbread's face couldn't help shaking, and his eyes were full of horror.

He turned to stammering and begging for mercy with Shen Yuerong: "I, I know it's wrong, I'm your uncle, save me." ”

Shen Yuerong said disdainfully: "Why didn't you think that you were my uncle when you set the fire?" Reap what you sow! ”

Gu Jinghuai glanced at Shen Yuerong, but she was a little dirty, not injured, and felt a little relieved.

"Imprisoned, sentenced at a later date."

A group of officials pressed a few arsonists and left with physical evidence.

Lin Muyu was still weak in his legs, and he was almost carried away, and the two servants who pressed Lin Muyu also looked disgusted.

Let's not talk about the smell of peeing my pants, I can't walk now, this dead pig-like body is going to be tired to death by him.

The crowd of onlookers was relieved to see that the arsonist had been caught.

Steward Huang beckoned everyone to disperse, and the big guys left one after another.

Li Zheng stepped forward respectfully and said cautiously: "Gu County Order, since the thief has been caught, it is better to go to my place to rest for a while." ”

Gu Jinghuai glanced at Shen Yuerong, his thin lips opened lightly, and he squeezed out a sentence that was neither cold nor hot: "This official is here today to see if your winery meets the promotion conditions, and I will come to you for questioning later." ”

Shen Yuerong wanted to thank Gu Jinghuai for saving him today, but she was choked by Gu Jinghuai's words, so she just stood there and watched Gu Jinghuai's departing back.
