After one ring of reasoning and argumentation, the suspicion that Hu Haizhong killed Qu Chunxiang can be ruled out, and the Lingzhou prefect and the first cadre all agreed, only Deputy Commander Mi still sneered and questioned.

"Hu Haizhong's knife is not a murder weapon, what do you say the murder weapon should look like?"

Hu Xianxian squinted at him and smiled, and then said to the prefect of Lingzhou, "The knife of the real murderer should be very sharp, and the blade is very long." Combined with the fact that the blood marks on the kitchen knife held by Hu Haizhong could not have caused fatal injuries, and the fatal wound of Qu Chunxiang did not match the blood marks on the kitchen knife, can it be determined that the kitchen knife was not a murder weapon at all, and Hu Haizhong was not the murderer? "

The prefect of Lingzhou nodded, but Deputy Commander Kemi snorted a few times, and Hu Xianxian looked at him.

Immediately afterwards, he said: "But this can't be said that Hu Haizhong is definitely not a murderer!" It is possible that Hu Haizhong threw away the real murder weapon, but it can only be said that the kitchen knife is not a murder weapon, and it cannot be said that Hu Haizhong is not a murderer. "

Hu Xianxian wanted to be angry a little, but he held back, looked directly at Deputy Commander Mi and asked, "You must catch the real culprit before you can exonerate Hu Haizhong, right?" "

"Of course, if you don't catch the real culprit, won't my Chunxiang die in vain? I want to watch the murderer confess his sins and spill his blood in front of the spring fragrance spirit to comfort her spirit in the sky. "

Deputy Commander Mi spoke with emotion, but Hu Xianxian felt that he was acting.

"Okay, Hu Haizhong will be in the cell for the time being, but he is old and frail, and if something happens, I have to find you responsible." Hu Xianxian put down this sentence because he was afraid that they would assassinate Hu Haizhong.

Deputy Commander Mi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but he didn't say anything, but Lingzhou asked Hu Xianxian worriedly if he was sure that he had caught the real murderer.

"I have a way to find out the real culprit, and I ask for your cooperation."

Hu Xianxian asked the prefect to temporarily give her the power to transfer the government offices, and the prefect agreed. In fact, Hu Xianxian's grade is higher than him, but he has no real power.

In front of the various government offices, Hu Xianxian looked at Deputy Commander Mi from the corner of his eye, and analyzed and deduced in detail: "When the real murderer killed Qu Chunxiang, he should have been in a very angry situation and killed him temporarily.

The knife is very ruthless, very fierce. There was a lot of blood splattered, and there was so much on the ground, and the murderer's clothes would definitely be splattered as well.

At that time, Qu Chunxiang was lying prone on the ground, so the most blood stained by the murderer should be the skirt or pants on the upper of the shoe and legs.

Judging from this, check whether Hu Haizhong's family has bloody clothes, and whether there are any witnesses who saw Hu Haizhong who escaped wearing bloody clothes, if not, Hu Haizhong will be less suspicious.

There is also a check in the surrounding area to see whether anyone in the bloody clothes has left, or whether anyone has thrown away the bloody clothes, then there are such people, and the suspicion has greatly increased. "

When Deputy Commander Mi heard this, he kept his head slightly down, as if he was impatient to listen, and as if he was hiding his expression.

After sending someone to investigate, Hu Xianxian asked Hang Wuyi to present some items that had been cleaned up from the ashes.

First, use a bamboo clip to pick up a damaged belt hook for people to see. A former military catcher said that the hook was used by soldiers, trappers or dart fighters who often carried weapons to hang knives.

Hu Xianxian had also seen this kind of belt hook, agreed with what the catcher said, and then lowered his eyes and glanced at Deputy Commander Mi.

He met Hu Xianxian's gaze, and calmly bowed his head as if nothing happened, indicating that he also recognized that people with hooks were commonly used weapons.

Hu Xianxian picked up two strips of rag embroidered with gold thread, which are the ornaments on the clothes, which are not burned into shape, and I can't see how it is, but it is certain that the clothes embroidered with this kind of thread are not ordinary coarse linen clothes, and it is likely to be clothes with special patterns.

I picked up two more copper rivets, but I don't know what they were used for.

Let people look at a bone-chopping kitchen knife again, there is no blood on this bone-chopping kitchen knife, it is estimated that it is the knife that Mrs. Mi carried.

This is a big suspicion, the knives held by Hu Haizhong and Mrs. Mi should not have killed Qu Chunxiang, so what was the murder weapon that killed Qu Chunxiang?

In addition, there are some gold earrings and silver hairpins, which are estimated to be Qu Chunxiang's jewelry, and there are no other items that can be used as evidence.

Hu Xianxian was going to search around Mi's house again to see if he could find the murder weapon that matched, and took people outside the courtyard wall.

She knelt and cried, "Arrest me!" Catch me...... It was I who killed Qu Chunxiang...... I killed her......"

Hu Xianxian was stunned, and speculated for a long time that Mrs. Mi was not the suspect she believed in her heart.

However, when Mrs. Mi came to surrender herself, it was not easy to reject it on the spot, so she could only take her back to the state government for a detailed trial.

After returning to the state office, Mrs. Mi described the process of the case in detail.

The previous dispute is similar to what Hu Haizhong and Qu Chunxiang described, starting from pressing Qu Chunxiang to the ground and beating him, which is more clear and detailed.

At that time, she just wanted to beat Qu Chunxiang to vent her anger, and then force Hu Haizhong to come up with a large sum of money.

But Qu Chunxiang scolded in pain, and even scolded more and more ugly, the Mi family didn't even raise their own son, and if they continued like this, they would be cut off from their grandchildren...... Sooner or later, Mi Duobao will also suffer retribution death......

Mrs. Mi was already furious, and she also said that Deputy Commander Mi was an unseeded person, there would be no more children, and Mi Duobao would not live for a few years, and the Mi family would definitely die......

Mrs. Mi couldn't stand her scolding her son, and was so angry that she wanted to cut her with a bone-chopping kitchen knife, but she made a comparison, because the bone-chopping knife had been used for many years and had no edge, so she threw the knife aside and went to the room to find a more convenient weapon.

happened to see Deputy Commander Mi's saber and forgot to take it away, angry and lost her mind, Mrs. Mi picked up the saber and returned to the firewood room and killed Qu Chunxiang, who was still lying on the ground.

After that, he smashed the oil lamp on the ground, ignited the firewood stack, and then poured the two catties of lamp oil he had just bought on Qu Chunxiang, and the fire in the firewood room was raging.

Afraid that the rice house would completely burn down, Mrs. Mi called Mi Duobao, who had been awakened, to help use an iron rake to dig up the flammable materials and pile them into the firewood room.

At the same time, water was constantly poured on the kitchen and courtyard walls to stop the fire from spreading.

It is estimated that Qu Chunxiang has been burned to the point that he can't make a appearance, so he asked the neighbors to put out the fire.

Is this really the case? Hu Xianxian always felt that something was wrong.

"As for the murder weapon, take it for inspection." She said sternly to Mrs. Mi.

"In order not to let others know the truth, I scrubbed the blood off the saber. Soon after the fire broke out, the master rushed back, and I gave him the knife......" Mrs. Mi was a little afraid of Deputy Commander Mi, looked up at him, and quickly lowered her head.

Let Deputy Mi receive the saber, there is no blood on the knife, but the hook with the hanging knife is very new, it should have been bought, which is worthy of the evidence of the damaged hook found in the fire.

When Hu Xianxian and others inspected the saber, Deputy Commander Mi looked at his wife with straight eyes, not knowing whether it was blame, disbelief, or other emotions.

Hu Xianxian asked Deputy Commander Mi what he had done after returning home, and he wanted to answer himself, but Hu Xianxian stopped him and asked Mrs. Mi to say.

Mrs. Mi said that Deputy Commander Mi saw the fire, but he didn't know that Qu Chunxiang was dead, so he only shouted that the neighbors were busy fighting the fire and didn't ask in detail.

Later, when he learned that Qu Chunxiang was dead, he angrily led people to arrest Hu Haizhong.

The soldiers of the Xiang Army also confirmed that Deputy Commander Mi had forgotten to bring his saber that night and had returned home to get it in a hurry.

"What time is it when you go back?" Hu Xianxian asked seriously.

"It's about time, isn't it?"

Hu Xianxian muttered in a low voice: "When the neighbors saw the thick smoke, he set off from the state government when he was a child, which is in line with the testimony that he saw the firewood house burning when he first arrived at home......"

Hearing this, Hu Xianxian believed what Mrs. Mi said, and she exhaled twice as if she was relieved.

But Hu Xianxian frowned again and asked: "There are no pedestrians at night, and Deputy Commander Mi is in a hurry to get a saber, he must ride a horse fast, will he arrive home before the fire?" When I got home, I took a saber and saw my wife killing my concubine? He even saw that his wife was beating the concubine, and he listened to the concubine's scolding, and he pulled out a knife and killed ......"

"No...... No! When my lord came back, Qu Chunxiang was already dead, I had just knocked over the oil lamp, and he only watched the firewood room burn! He didn't do anything, he didn't know anything......" Mrs. Mi interrupted Hu Xianxian hysterically.

"I'm just speculating, don't be so excited. After all, it only takes a few breaths from killing to catching fire, and the horse under the leadership of Deputy Mi is one step faster and one step slower, and what he sees will be a completely different scene. Hu Xianxian set his eyes on Deputy Commander Mi.

"Do you dare to speculate? It's all your fault for stuffing that mourning star into our Mi family! You still dare to wronged my master, and you want to make my baby can't live, right? Mrs. Mi sprinkled it, not like a criminal who had surrendered, but as if she had come to the door to ask for the crime.

Hu Xianxian was not angry, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Mi, don't be angry, you will be angry." I don't speculate, okay, listen to you, you're the murderer. ”

She has always suspected that Deputy Commander Mi is the real murderer, the kind of knife strength that can kill people with one knife and leave knife marks on even the bones, which is in line with the identity of Deputy Commander Mi who has been practicing martial arts for many years. Perhaps, out of her intention for Mi Duobao's future, Mrs. Mi took the blame for her husband.

"Tell me what the bloody clothes were all about." Hu Xianxian saw that Mrs. Mi was calmer, and said again.

Mrs. Mi said: "At that time, I took off my blood-stained shoes and socks and outer pants and threw them into the fire. I've heard you've found some physical evidence, and those two copper rivets are riveted from the top of the shoe, so that the shoe is more durable, and also to kick people more painfully when kicking......"

Listening to this, Deputy Commander Mi did not look sad or angry, nor did he have any pity for Mrs. Mi who had fallen into such a miserable situation, nor even the sadness of suffering a great disaster at home, but he actually felt a sense of gratitude mixed with guilt.

After Hu Xianxian looked at him carefully, questions swirled in his mind.

At this moment, a soldier of the Xiangjun Army sent a letter saying that Mi Duobao, the son of Deputy Commander Mi, had been abducted to Wanzhou.

Mi Duobao was kidnapped, and he asked Deputy Commander Mi to hand over a ransom of 1,000 taels of silver.

When Mrs. Mi heard that something had happened to her son, she fainted with a scream, while Deputy Commander Mi was stunned.

Although it was originally to clear Hu Haizhong's grievances before he took care of these things, Mi Duobao had an accident, and Hu Xianxian couldn't ignore it.

I have watched the lineage of the inheritance of the Dharma lineage in Yunhua on the earth, and this child is very likely to belong to the senior brother Ma Mingfeng, and seeing that his words and deeds are indeed the materials of cultivation, so he has the entrustment of cultivating well.

Hearing this, let people quickly treat Mrs. Mi and take care of it, and then remind Deputy Commander Mi to cheer up and listen to the soldiers in detail.
