She bowed her hand and said to Zhang Youwei: "Lord Lao Fu asked the head catcher to go to Liu's pond to fish, and he will definitely find something." After a pause, she admonished, "Things should be pressed by stones or rockeries in the pool and cannot float up, and a few of them must start from here." ”

Zhang Youwei was listening to Xu Chu's case, and his heart was suddenly stunned, and when he saw her coming over, he immediately sat down. When he heard that there was physical evidence again, he immediately waved his hand and asked the leader to take people forward.

The Liu family is considered a wealthy family, and it is in the most prosperous place in Yunan County, so the catch comes and goes very quickly. But a quarter of an hour later, I saw the wet catcher coming back with someone, his face was full of joy, and he walked to the lobby with a cotton skirt still dripping with water.

"My lord, this is just fished out of Liu's pond." It was also their luck that they happened to meet the people in the kitchen of the Liu family cleaning up the swimming fish in the pond, so the people on both sides started together, but they found the clothes with stones at the bottom of the pond in half an hour.

Now, Liu Zhen has no way to quibble. She laughed miserably and sighed, "Folk women...... Confession ......"

With that, she slammed her head on the ground. Then he helplessly looked at Du Gouyu, who had already confessed his guilt, and said, "Brother Du, it's me who has caused you trouble!" ”

Du Gouyu glanced at her, shook his head and said nothing. In fact, for him, there is not much difference between being alive and dead, he was not seen as a person when he was born, and even if he married, he was still not as good as an ordinary helper. However, Master Liu and Mrs. Liu were kind-hearted and had given him many favors.

Until now, though, he didn't know if the favors were intentional or why...... But what's the matter?

When Xu Chu saw Liu Zhen confess, he turned his head and looked at Liu Wengui coldly.

"Master Liu, what do you have to say?"

Liu Wengui remained motionless, and only after a while did he come forward and kneel down in the center of the lobby, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's because I don't govern the family strictly, which damages the Liu family's family style......"

Xu Chu saw that he still avoided the important and trivialized, and he didn't even care about Liu Zhen, and he couldn't help but feel some inexplicable sadness in his heart. Probably, when it is really a husband and wife, they fly separately when the forest bird comes, even if the love is true at the beginning, there will still be a thin affection when encountering things.

Her voice sank, and she said with a cold face: "The night before the accident, you rested on the Zhuangzi, and asked the coachman to go back to the house early the next morning to pick up Liu Zhen. There was a headless female corpse tied to the car...... Able to pry open the wooden planks of the carriage in advance and dispose of the corpse. And that night, when Liu Zhen sneaked into Liu's house to look for the pearls that fell from his shoes, Master Liu also covered her traces just right, so that the people who were looking for him did not find Liu Zhen's figure. Dare to ask Master Liu, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? ”

Liu Wengui frowned and raised his head, and sneered: "Girl, is this trying to frame up?" I don't rest in the village for a day or two, since my family's business has improved, I will rest on the outskirts of the city almost half of the time every year. Could it be that you mean that I started planning for my life a few years ago? ”

"Besides, this Du Dog is on Zhuangzi all day long, and he is under house arrest for Taohong's girl, it is inevitable that he colluded with Zhen to commit this heinous case." He sneered sadly, looking at Xu Chu without a trace of guilt, but coldly looked at his crying wife and Du Gouyu, who had only confessed his guilt, and sneered, "I just thought about the relationship between husband and wife for many years, and I will let her leave that night." But destroying corpses, killing people, and covering up crimes have nothing to do with me. If adults have to care, at most I will only be reprimanded for not governing the family strictly. ”

Originally, when Liu Zhen's delicate woman confessed her guilt, many people were shocked and sighed. At this time, hearing the cold-blooded words of Liu Wengui, a good husband who has always been praised, made people even more stunned.

Xu Chu looked at him with a cold face, and unhurriedly pinched up the silver thread dissected from the corpse, and then sighed and said: "Indeed, if I hadn't found this ball of silver thread and silk thread from the trachea of Peach Hong's body, I'm afraid that it would really be as you wish, and I think that the person who killed her was the one who hit her shoulder blade with a firewood knife." It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, she desperately bit off the ornament on your cuffs, and even tore a piece of meat on your arm......"

As soon as her words fell, Zhang Youwei motioned to the catcher waiting at the table to step forward. Between the lightning and flint, I saw that Liu Wengui, who was rolled up his sleeves, had a conspicuous scar on his arm, perhaps because of improper medication, and now there is some flesh and blood blurred.

The people outside the second gate exclaimed, they only felt that Liu Wengui was stiff-hearted and didn't love his wife as much as it was rumored. But now it seems that he is blunt there, and he is simply inhumane.

It's just a matter of killing, but he still wants to put the blame on his wife.

"After the autopsy, it was found that Peach had been strangled by the back of her neck before her death, causing her hyoid bone to break. And Taohong's body is about the same as Liu Zhen's, but she is a maid all the year round, and her strength and ruthlessness are stronger than Liu Zhen's. In contrast, Liu Zhen was unable to strangle the pink hyoid bone from top to bottom with his arm. Xu Chu ignored Liu Wengui's indignant eyes and continued, "Besides, although Liu Zhen's arm is injured, it is mostly scratches and contusions, and there are no bite wounds. Master Liu, do you want to tell me that your scars were left by eating flowers and wine outside? ”

"Then why not!" Liu Wengui gritted his teeth and looked gloomy.

Xu Chu frowned, but Liu Wengui was so stubborn, so he simply didn't say more, and looked directly at Du Gouyu and said, "So, you still have to protect him?" ”

Du Gouyu was dazed and stunned at this time, as if he didn't expect that Liu Wengui would really blame Liu Zhen for all the mistakes in order to get rid of his guilt. He looked at Xu Chu blankly, stunned for a moment, and then covered his face and said in a difficult voice: "The master asked me to burn my clothes that day, and I saw that the silver thread on the sleeve was very beautiful, so I pulled the silver thread off." ”

At this time, Wei Guang also stepped forward and brought the embroidery girl who had cut clothes for Liu Wengui.

After seeing Du Gouyu take out the silver wire from the cuffs, and the embroidery girl who had embroidered the auspicious cloud sleeve pattern for him with the silver wire arrived, Liu Wengui completely unloaded his confidence.

Seeing that he bowed his head and confessed his guilt, Zhang Youwei hurriedly asked a group of criminals to sign and draw a detention, and then temporarily detained him in prison. Such a big case involves two lives, so he naturally can't be arbitrary, so he just waits to submit the official document to the Criminal Department for review.

When leaving the lobby, Liu Zhen's tears burst out again, and when she passed by Xu Chu's side, she barely stabilized her mind and blessed her. Then he choked up and said, "Thank you girl for exposing the wicked person who pretended to be my son, and bothering the girl to continue to investigate......"

Her words were not finished, although she begged Xu Chu to seize this last life-saving straw to save her son, but her eyes were full of despair and pain. That kind of complicated emotion fell in Xu Chu's eyes, which made her heart sour and uncomfortable.

Almost instantly, she remembered her father. How could she not be like Liu Zhen's, whether it was following Xiao Qinglang all the way to investigate the case, or violating the rules that had been set, regardless of the battle in the back house, and not involving the wealth of the court, in the final analysis, it was just to find her father as soon as possible.

She pursed her lips and nodded slightly, "I'll do my best." ”

Only three words, but they instantly ignited the light in Liu Zhen's eyes. She choked up again, almost stumbling and giving Xu Chufu another salute.

When I left the yamen lobby this time, it was already a little dark outside. The gloomy sky seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, which made her feel uncomfortable when she looked at it.

Suddenly, the sky in the distance lit up, followed by the sound of firecrackers. She looked at the bright light of the fire tree and silver flowers in the sky, and she only felt dazzling and dazzling.

There are many shadows, and the most prosperous street market in Yunan County is noisy again. This time, it was not the shouts of the hawkers and the shouts of the merchants, but the sound of artillery in front of the doors of each household to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. There are also children frolicking, chasing jokes with fireworks in their hands.

Xiao Qinglang walked slowly to Xu Chu's side, and saw her frowning eyebrows gradually stretching, so he looked into the distance together. After a long time, he spoke: "It's hard to meet the New Year's Festival, why don't you join us?" ”

Xu Chu retracted his gaze, abandoned the sadness and discomfort in his heart, looked at the people around him and said with a smile: "Back to the back office? ”

"No, I've already asked people to find a quiet idle house, and it's better to rest in that house for a few days during the New Year's Festival."

"That's convenient."

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled. No one mentioned the vague feelings, as well as Xu Chu's sudden attitude when he got up early.

Xu Chu thought of his father because of Liu Zhen's eyes and pleading, and then he didn't have any entanglements in his heart. And Xiao Qinglang knows that no matter what the reason is, he can only be safe now.

The two of them were talking, when they saw Xiao Mingzhu jumping over with a firework stick in his hand. Seeing Xu Chu, she smiled happily, casually divided half of it, and said, "Sister Chu, I went to pack my things just now, and I happened to meet Mrs. Zhang giving fireworks to the people in the house, so I asked for some." Anyway, there's nothing else to do now, so let's play together! ”

The case was solved today, and she also contributed, so she was naturally happy.

Xu Chu has a restrained temperament, and rarely has emotions leaked, but at this time, he was pulled by Xiao Mingzhu to play for a while, but he became happy. In the staggered fireworks, I saw her laughing out loud in a rare voice.

Xiao Qinglang pursed his thin lips, and looked at the man's smile with deep and burning eyes, as if he wanted to imprint that smile into his heart.

The flowers and faces are intertwined, and I don't know whether Xiao Qinglang is fascinated by people, or fascinated by the fireworks everywhere.

After the things were packed up, Xiao Qinglang took Xu Chu and Xiao Mingzhu to say goodbye to Zhang Youwei. No matter how Zhang Youwei retained him, he never kept people.

He regretted Xu Chu's talent, but he thought of the intimate relationship between the two, so he really broke up the family because it was not reasonable and reasonable. Thinking of his prejudice and disrespect for Xiao Qinglang at the beginning, his old face couldn't help but hurt, and he didn't make any jokes at that time.
