The broken porcelain shards were the illusion that you had inserted into Zhang's heart, causing her to die unexpectedly. ”

Without waiting for Xu Chu to finish speaking, he saw Yu Fugui's pupils shrink, and his left hand, which had been hidden in his sleeve, shook inexplicably. He gritted his teeth and breathed heavily, glaring at Xu Chu as if he was barely restraining something. After Xu Chu finished speaking, he was furious and said, "You are talking nonsense, how can I do that." You are all raccoon dogs, and when you get the benefit of Old Man Zhang, you will pour dirty water on me, hehe, he sold a girl before to chill Qiu Niang's heart, and he shamelessly often came to loot Qiu Niang to maintain the situation. Now I have to make trouble after Qiu Niang's death, it's really hateful......"

"Qiu Niang must have been forced to death by him, at that time, the Huang County Order couldn't find anything, and I was allowed to organize the funeral for Qiu Niang, but he stuck a stick to prevent Qiu Niang from entering the ground. When I return Qiu Niang to the yamen for storage, I beg to bite me back. You said that the wound was fake, why didn't you say that it was the sin done by Old Man Zhang? Yu Fugui shouted indignantly, compared to wanting to do it with her before, this time is probably the real anger.

Before he could quillish and noisy about wealth and wealth, he saw that Xu Chu had already turned around and ordered Li Zhutou and Wei Guang, who were accompanying him, to search. And as everyone held their breath and endured the smell in the house, when they rummaged around, Yu Fugui's fists were also clenched tightly, and his eyes glanced at the beams of the house intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Chu hooked his lips, glanced at Xiao Qinglang, and the two of them walked to the side of the Eight Immortals Table in the room. On the messy tables and chairs, you can still faintly see blackened or shriveled food, but other than that, you can also clearly see the marks that have obviously been dragged on.

In other words, the table and chair have been moved.

"Come on, move the table here." Xu Chu's finger followed the trail of drag and pointed to a place near the bed, "Let people climb up and find it!" ”

When he quickly took off a copper kettle, he saw Yu Fugui's tight expression, and his waist plate instantly relaxed.

"If my guess is correct, this copper kettle is the one that the Zhang family often uses to boil water and make tea." Xu Chu handed the thing to Xiao Qinglang, and then continued, "If you think you can get away with it and not tell the truth, then let the people in the house who have seen Zhang's boiling water come to identify it, I think someone will be able to recognize it." ”

What's more, at this time, the copper kettle is still a valuable object, and ordinary people can't afford to use it at all. Ordinary people's homes will not be so extravagant. Even if you get to the bottom of it and start from the place where you bought the copper kettle, you may not be able to find out.

"I moved the copper kettle, and I did argue with Qiu Niang that day and moved my hand, but I really didn't have the intention of killing people." Yu Fugui said hatefully, "If she hadn't avoided me wholeheartedly, and she had only been thinking about that negative man for so many years, how could I be like this." ”

"I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to take her life. Someone must have lowered my head......"

"You are high-sounding, if my guess is right, you are the one who attacked and ruined the Zhang family eight years ago, and you are also the one who blames Liu Jiaxing. And eight years later, you learned that the Zhang family had changed, and you were worried that it was the East Window incident, so you killed the Zhang family according to the cat and the tiger in the same way as Liu Jiaxing's corpse was disposed of, what I said was! ”

Yu Fugui, who was still holding his neck just now, saw her ask coldly, and said exactly what happened back then, and he was already panicking. Coupled with the experience of almost being strangled to death just now, he didn't have much strength to support it at this time, so he simply collapsed to the ground and laughed miserably.

When the case came to this point, it could be regarded as a combination of stolen goods, Xiao Qinglang coldly ordered someone to take Fugui away. Of course, Mrs. Zhang, who failed to commit the murder, naturally could not escape.

It seemed that when the dust settled, he reorganized the case with Xu Chu.

Indeed, it is as if the rich have a motive, a time, and even a witness. Isn't that mysterious person from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the fake copper plate that suddenly appeared in Zhang's mouth even more suspicious?

This case seems simple, as if Yu Fugui was resentful and killed Zhang by mistake, and then worried about being questioned, he poured boiling water in a copper kettle on Zhang's wound. Then the government ruled that Zhang died suddenly from a stroke, and the matter simply ended.

The partiality Zhang Xiu is a difficult one, so that Huang County Ling cannot easily judge the case. and made the case boiling, and everyone knew about it.

On the surface, if she hadn't re-examined the autopsy and found that it was inappropriate, and then followed Xiao Qinglang to Yu's house to investigate and find clues, then the case would have ended as an accident after all. And Zhang Xiucai will also be falsely accused, in addition to Xiucai's fame, and even his reputation will not be able to die well.

But is it really that simple? Xu Chu felt that it was not necessary.

From the pot of begonia flowers, to the dampness and blood stains on Zhang's bedding, and the last tea she drank before her death, there was weirdness everywhere.

The wings of his nose were filled with a real stench, which made Xiao Qinglang a little disliked. In addition, it is past noon now, and Yu Fugui's detention still needs to be carefully investigated, so he thinks that it is better to take Xu Chu out to rest for a while.

When the two left home, they both sighed that the world made people. When Xu Chu was tempted to be rich, he understood that he was clear about Zhang's past, but he didn't know that Zhang's refusal to give birth to children for him was not because the old love was unforgettable, but because she couldn't get pregnant anymore. was born in wealth but didn't know, and even did all the ridiculous things in order to stimulate the Zhang family.

On the one hand, he secretly hinted at Zhang's kindness, and on the other hand, he poked her heart, liver and lungs. If it goes on like this, no matter how big the emotion is, it will probably be consumed.

Just as they were about to step out of the main courtyard, they saw a woman with a pale and charitable face walking outside the courtyard walls. After seeing Xiao Qinglang and the others, she hurriedly saluted respectfully, with a humble attitude.

"Zhang's mother?" Xu Chu raised his eyebrows.

"Alas, the slave is here." As she spoke, she also quietly glanced at Yu Fugui, who was detained, hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you have to tell the woman?" ”

"It's okay, you just do it."

"The slave and maid are also fine, but I bought some snacks when I left the house yesterday and wanted to send some to Xiaocui." She hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "My lord, the slave maid heard that Madame's incident was not an accident, is it really the master's doing?" ”

She looked up, but she was facing Xu Chu's smiling eyes, as well as Xiao Qinglang's cold eyes, and immediately shivered, and said again and again: "It's the slave who talks too much!" ”

Xu Chu squinted, looked at her a few more times, and deliberately looked at the black ash on her cuffs for a while. Zhang's mother, who watched it, became more and more worried, and quickly patted a few times and explained: "The slave maid is used to doing rough work in the kitchen, and her clothes are not clean, which makes several adults laugh." ”

"If you have free time, you should find a doctor to take a look, don't get injured at work." In fact, Xu Chu didn't doubt the dust on her cuffs, but he just felt a little weird when he saw that her hands were red, swollen and dry.

"Hey, the slave will go and ask for some ointment to apply in a moment."

The sun shadow is in the sky, and no matter how dazzling the scorching sun is, it can't compete with the eternal cold of winter. Even if there is no cold wind, it is enough to make people wrap their clothes tightly.

Because there was a noisy market outside, and the two of them had empty stomachs, they intended to eat something simply, so they didn't take the carriage.

In fact, in winter, there are very few sunny days like now. However, it was the lunar month, and it was approaching the end of the year, so there were more pedestrians on the road, and there was a little less winter gloom in the noise.

Not long after Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang returned to the yamen, they saw Huang Xianling come back with a mess, even if there were no injuries on his face, he was also gray.

"How's the Silver Place?" Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu looked at each other and asked.

"Don't mention it, I don't know which soulless person threw the match to the edge of the furnace, and the spark jumped and burned the house where the jewelry was made. It was also a pity that there was a snow a few days ago, and the nearby shops were afraid of being dragged and hurriedly put out the fire, otherwise they were afraid that something would really happen. ”

If this happens when the weather is dry and dry, let alone fighting fires, I am afraid that half of the street will have to be burned to the ground, and the people on the street will have to be killed and injured countless times.

"It's strange to say, the official questioned the guys and shopkeepers in the shop, but none of them admitted to letting go of the firewood. No, the official took everyone to prison at once. If you don't find out that fool, the official can't feel comfortable. Huang Xianling thought of his reputation and image as a little expert in solving crimes, and he would be ruined by that heartless eye with a firewood, and his face instantly darkened.

After speaking, he wiped his forehead and shook his body, still feeling sticky and uncomfortable. However, remembering the quick response around him when he came back, he still hesitated and asked, "I heard that you arrested Boss Yu, and he also confessed to the crime of killing Zhang?" ”

"Yes, and this case also involves another homicide eight years ago." When it comes to investigating the case, Xiao Qinglang rarely intervenes directly, at most he gives Xu Chu some hints and various convenient conditions. At the moment, Xu Chu saw that he didn't speak, and he was not hypocritical at the moment, he looked directly at Huang Xianling and said, "Back then, in order to please Zhang Xiucai, Yu Fugui secretly took revenge on Liu Jiaxing, but he accidentally beat people to death, and then he conspired with Zhang Xiucai and the two to pour boiling water on the corpse to forge scars. It's just that there is a problem now that Liu Jiaxing's body has not been found. ”

Zhang Xiucai once said that they threw the body in the backyard of the Liu family, but after that, the Liu family neither reported to the official nor went to the funeral. It was as if that thing didn't exist at all, and the Liu family's father and mother were still far away from Jiangsu and Zhejiang......

When Huang Xianling heard this, he was embarrassed. After thinking about it, he simply waved his hand and said: "Then ignore the case from eight years ago, there is no way to investigate if there is no body and no one reports to the official." ”

Nowadays, the government has too many cases for many cases, and most of them are not prosecuted by the people, which cannot be regarded as bending the law for personal gain, but it is also taking advantage of the loopholes of the law. This Xu Chu is powerless to change, after all, not all times are legal societies, at most she can only sigh that it is really good as the new society, at least the society respects every life.

Half an hour later, Huang Xian ordered to clean up himself, and had a simple meal with Xu Chu and a few others, and then ordered someone to open a court to decide the case.
