Chapter 48: The Truth Revealed 2
Liu Wei didn't remain as silent as before this time, and insisted that he did it himself, but he was still justifying.
"My lord, I admit that I cut off Li Lin's head. But I didn't kill him, he was dead when I went to kill him, so I was angry and cut off his head. ”
"Well, this officer asks you. Since Li Lin was already dead when you went, what about the bride? Where did the bride go? ”
"I don't know, I didn't see the bride when I went. I cut off Li Lin's head and was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so I sewed up his head, and then it was just like you said, my lord. ”
Seeing that Liu Wei confessed, the county magistrate asked the previous question again.
"You say you have no grievances with him, so why do you want to harm him?"
"Back to my lord, the hearts of the grass people belong to Ah Lian. But after knowing what Ah Lian suffered in the Li family, he held a grudge against Li Lin. So I wanted to teach Ah Lian a lesson, so I decided to kill him on his wedding day. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"What, it turned out to be really the person Liu Wei killed."
"I didn't expect that a person who usually looks quite honest is a murderer behind his back."
"Sure enough, I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, and sure enough, there is a layer of belly across it, who knows how that heart grows."
……
After hearing this, Ah Lian looked at Liu Wei in shock and said, "Brother Liu, you ......"
Liu Wei turned around and said affectionately: "Ah Lian, I love you, I don't regret doing this." ”
And after Aunt Li heard Liu Wei admit it personally, the whole person became irritable. I don't know where the strength came from, and I broke free from the shackles of the servants. took out a knife from his sleeve and stabbed at Liu Wei, and said sharply
"I'm going to let you pay for my son's life!"
After Yelan saw it on the rooftop, he looked at the two officials with disdain and said, "I don't know what they are eating, but they let an old lady in her eighties break free." ”
As soon as Ah Lian saw that she was blocking in front of Liu Wei, Yelan thought to herself: It seems that there is another murder.
said to Forget Chen: "Brother Forget Chen, won't you stop it?" ”
Forget the dust said coldly: "Don't go." ”
Yelan knew that Forget Chen would be this answer, so she didn't say anything. Raised eyebrows and looked at the situation below.
No matter how dramatic the situation happened, they all thought that Ah Lian was blocking the knife for Liu Wei. I saw Ah Lian reach out and hold Aunt Li's hand and push her out with one palm.
Because of the ash on her hands, she left a palm print on Aunt Li's left shoulder.
Yelan's eyes narrowed after looking at it. Dark Dao: This palm is exactly the same as what Forget Chen said, and she also uses her left hand. The same position, the same palm print, and the same ventriloquism, she is the real murderer.
looked at Wuchen and said, "It seems that she is quite good at hiding." ”
Forget Chen also understood, and said, "Hmm." ”
Below, Liu Wei stood up. The people around were all pointing, and Liu Wei said to the county master: "Everything has been explained clearly, please punish the county master." ”
"Come on, put the prisoner Liu Wei in the prison, and behead him on a later day."
After hearing this, Aunt Li hugged her son and cried.
"Son, the person who killed you has finally surrendered."
When Liu Wei was taken down, Ah Lian turned her head to look at Liu Wei.
Liu Wei made a lip shape, "I don't regret doing this." ”
"Alright, quit."
The people around also dispersed, and Aunt Li also retreated. Only Ah Lian sat on the ground alone, still muttering
"How so, how so."
Yelan stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, after watching this good show, we should go back." ”
Forget the dust said coldly: "Hmm"
Xue Yu said: "Why do you have to go back at this time, don't you go for a drink?" ”
"No, I'm not in the mood for today."
Yelan refused.
"Okay, I'll see you later."
After Xue Yu finished speaking, he picked up the light gong and left, and disappeared in front of Ye Lan's eyes in the blink of an eye.
The two returned to the inn, and Yelan fanned her fan and sighed: "I didn't expect that this second murderer turned out to be Miss Ah Lian, I can't see it." ”
"Nope."
Forget Chen said suddenly.
Yelan said: "No? ”
"From beginning to end, we thought that Li Lin was killed by the female ghost in red, but in fact it was not."
"What do you mean, Brother Forgotten Dust?"
Yelan said with her fan closed.
"Do you think there is anything wrong, Liu Wei said that after he entered Li Lin's wedding room, including going out, he never saw the bride from beginning to end."
"That's right, the female ghost in red didn't specialize in robbing the bride."
"No, we all know that the murderer is Miss Ah Lian. But the figure of the bride is ignored. ”
"So, Brother Forgetchen, you mean. From beginning to end, the murderer was only Miss Ah Lian, and there was no one else at all. ”
Yelan suddenly thought about something and said:
"In other words, the bride is Miss Ah Lian, and it is Miss Ah Lian who married Li Lin from beginning to end."
"Yes, I've asked people around me. People on the anniversary said that on the day Li Lin got married, Miss Ah Lian disappeared, but in the evening, Ah Lian came back. ”
After the whole thing was straightened out, the process of the case was also clear.
Yelan said: "Brother Forget Chen, do you think Ah Lian will confess?" ”
Forget the dust said: "Yes." ”
Yelan sat on a stool, her hands nonchalantly tapping on the table. said: "I don't think she will, after all, people don't kill for themselves." ”
After that, Forget Chen didn't speak, but glanced at Yelan meaninglessly.
When it was time for the execution the next day, Yelan and Wangchen ran to join in the fun, also to see if Ah Lian would confess.
The county magistrate looked down at the sky and threw down the token. "Execution!"
The executioner pulled out the sign behind Liu Wei, pressed him to the stake, raised the knife in his hand and was about to cut it down.
After Yelan saw it, the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking arc and said: "How about Brother Forget Chen, I didn't lie to you, people are selfish." How could it be ...... for the sake of others"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Ah Lian rushing out. Kneeling in front of the county master, he buried his head and said, "Wait, my lord, Brother Liu is not a murderer." I know who the murderer is, and I asked the adults to let Brother Liu go. ”
Liu Wei raised his head and yelled at Ah Lian: "What are you doing here, you are leaving." ”
Turning his head to look at the county master, he said, "My lord, don't listen to her nonsense, I am the murderer." ”
The county magistrate raised his hand and pointed at Ah Lian and said, "You said that he was wronged, what evidence do you have to prove it." ”
Ah Lian raised her head and said, "Because, the murderer of Li Lin is me." Brother Liu just took the blame for me, so I asked the adults to let Brother Liu go. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again.
"What, Ah Lian is the murderer."
"How could she, a woman, kill an adult man."
"Even if you don't want Liu Wei to die, you can't lie to the adults and say that you killed yourself."
……
Forget Chen looked at Yelan, as if to say: What do you say now?
Yelan was completely speechless, which surprised her.
When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately shouted: "Come on, take the suspects Ah Lian and Liu Wei to the yamen." ”
Ah Lian smiled happily after seeing Liu Wei escape.
Liu Wei walked up to her and said, "Ah Lian, you ......"
The words stopped talking, and his eyes were full of incomprehension.
Ah Lian smiled and said, "Brother Liu, I made my own mistakes. I should take care of it myself, thank you. ”
After arriving at the yamen, Ah Lian knelt on the ground.
The county magistrate said: "You said, you are the murderer of Li Lin." What is the evidence? ”
"Lord Hui, in fact, I am the one who married Li Lin Baitang. I hid the axe in the house early in the morning, and when Li Lin came back, I used medicine to stun him. Originally, he wanted to strangle him, but the amount of medicine was too small, and Li Lin woke up after a while. In order not to make him quiet, he took out the prepared axe and cut it down. Then he sewed it up again, so that others would not find out that I did it, so he came up with the idea of blaming the female ghost in red. And when Brother Liu saw me coming back with an axe, he knew. If you don't believe me, you can search in my house. There is a mezzanine in the cabinet where the new clothes are placed. ”
