On the evening of the third day, a female corpse was found in the moat, her face was soaked beyond recognition, and she couldn't see her previous appearance at all, surrounded by a group of people next to her, and the person headed by it was not Hao Zhutou, but another person, who was also wearing a head-catching uniform, looking sharp-beaked monkey gills, which made people feel that it was a slippery head.

When the people of the He family heard the news, they immediately rushed to the river, accompanied by the sound of the river slapping on the riverbank, Jiang Cailing saw that the woman lying on the ground was wearing a powder blue Luo skirt, the whole person was wrinkled by the blisters, her hair was scattered and wet and messy on the top of her head, and her eyes and eyelids were eaten by the fish in the water, leaving two black holes, which looked very terrifying.

Today was originally a cloudy day, the wind blew through the luxuriant trees swaying, "rustling" sound, black clouds in the air pressing the whole city, the Jiuqu River waves surging, at this time to see such a scene, the surroundings can not help but linger a gloomy feeling.

Judging from the clothes, it is the clothes He Xiangxiang wore that day.

After Meng Yun saw it, he couldn't help but let out a low cry, hid behind He Mingshan, and covered Jiang Cailing's eyes with his hand.

There were some onlookers next to him, and they all felt very worried when they saw such a scene, not to mention their loved ones.

When He Minghai's family saw such a scene, tears welled up in Wang's eyes, and they pulled He Minghai's sleeves and muttered, "No, this is not our Xiangxiang...... Definitely not. ”

He Minghai's sadness is no less than that of the Wang family, in addition to the loss of flesh and blood, he also understands that if Xiangxiang is really dead, his plans for many years will be in vain, and the only thing he has to do is this daughter, who originally wanted to take advantage of Xiangxiang's marriage to soar, so they were all disillusioned.

His mountains of gold and silver, his daughter's mansion......

He Minghai also held on to the last glimmer of hope, stepped forward to check the corpse, and after seeing the golden ring on the woman's neck, his lips began to tremble.

When he was nine years old, a fortune teller said that He Xiangxiang was a rich and noble life, but there was a catastrophe in his fate. So he sold him this Yingluo ring, saying that he could turn evil into good fortune, and then He Xiangxiang always wore it on his body and never took it off.

Wang also saw the Yingluo circle, rolled his eyes, and passed out.

Jiang Cailing saw that both of them were looking at He Xiangxiang's necklace, and she understood that the two of them must have determined that this was He Xiangxiang's daughter based on this necklace. She really wanted to see He Xiangxiang's body in person, which was obviously to let her carry the black cauldron.

Why was He Xiangxiang pushed into the water? Was she pushed into the water after she left?

It is too hasty to determine a person's identity based on a ring.

After a while, he said to the sharp-beaked monkey's head catcher, "The deceased had a fight with a person before his death, and there was a clear wound on his neck, apparently he was choked by someone. But the other party's strength did not seem to be great, and he did not strangle the deceased, what really caused the deceased to die was choking on water. ”

Jiang Cailing's eyes were half-narrowed, ready to look at the pinch marks on He Xiangxiang's neck, and as soon as she took half a step forward, she was grabbed by He Zongyao, and shouted loudly, "It's her!" The murderer is her! ”

Jiang Cailing hated strangers touching her the most, and she was unhappy to shake off his hand, but in order to prevent others from suspecting, she hid her disgusted look and said innocently, "Third brother, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." I also feel very sad about the sixth sister, but what do you mean by slandering me as a murderer without evidence? ”

"Hmph, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me!" He Zongyao has been in the casino all the year round, and after winning a small amount of money, he went to the flower building to hug the beauty, and after a long time, his face was extremely pale, his eyes were also flushed with iron blue, and his whole body was hollowed out, with skin and bones, no flesh on his face, and his cheeks were sunken, which looked very scary.

He Zongyao continued, "My sister is missing, as a big brother, I am naturally sad, like experiencing the pain of heartbreaking, and it is even more incumbent on me to find my sister. He said, when you were arguing with Sixth Sister that day, she grabbed your right arm! ”

The head catcher said lazily, "What evidence do you have!" ”

"The proof is the scar on her arm!" As he spoke, He Zongyao lifted Jiang Cailing's sleeve, and there were three scratches on half of the white lotus root's arm.

Everyone was in an uproar, this is clearly the recent scratch, could it really be that Miss He killed Miss He Liu?

Jiang Cailing calmly lowered her sleeves, she didn't know what the purpose of the person who laid it out was, but one ring after another, every piece of evidence pointed to her.

The head catcher nodded and walked to Jiang Cailing's side, "The prisoner Jiang Cailing, out of jealousy, framed his sister of the same clan, asked the deceased to go to the Jiuqu Bridge, and had an argument, first choked the deceased's throat, and then pushed the deceased into the river. First there was physical evidence, and now there are human witnesses, and since the murderer has been caught, the case is closed. Those who commit murder will be beheaded tomorrow at noon. ”

Saying that the officials on both sides were about to arrest Jiang Cailing, a sneer bloomed on Jiang Cailing's lips, "This head catcher, the folk girl wants to ask, is it because of this scar that you think I am the murderer of this case?" ”

"The facts are in front of you, do you still want to deny it!"

Jiang Cailing lightly swept everyone, approached He Xiangxiang's corpse, squatted down and took a closer look, and did not smell the rancid smell of the corpse between her noses, but smelled a sweet and greasy fragrance, exactly the same as the last time she smelled in He Xiangxiang's room.

Where does this fragrance come from?

Moreover, she couldn't even smell the ingredients in this sweet and greasy taste.

Just as Jiang Cailing was meditating, He Zongyao said sharply, "Poor master, this evil girl has a vicious mind, although she is related to me, but I can't shield such a woman!" ”

Hearing the words of righteousness, people who are not familiar with him will probably think that He Zongyao is a man with the world in mind. Jiang Cailing quickly looked at the corpse from head to toe again, and then slowly stood up and faced everyone: "Third brother, my sixth sister and I are your younger sisters, how can you be so eccentric!" On weekdays, you are a good gambler, my father has helped you exchange gambling debts, and now you hear outsiders say something bad, and you doubt your sister-in-law. ”

"Ling'er, you just admit it, no matter how much you say, it won't help. Don't worry, after you die, the third brother will help you take care of your uncle and aunt in their old age. ”

"I didn't do it, why should I admit it? Third brother, why don't you invite the witness in your mouth, and I will confront him face to face!" ”

At this time, the head catcher looked unhappy and wanted to stop it, Jiang Cailing grabbed the conversation and said to the onlookers, "Fathers and fellow villagers, Luoyang is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it should be peaceful and stable, but now that there is a murder, it is natural to find out, if you rely on these evidence, you will arrest me, let alone me, even everyone present is not convinced!" I can be arrested today on the basis of this so-called evidence, and tomorrow I can be arrested on trumped-up charges! Poor master, are you right when you say that the little woman is right! ”

Before the head catcher could speak, everyone present shouted: "Yes! Let's find out! ”

Public opinion is like this, and the head catcher has no choice but to nod.

The witness's name is Wang Lao Er, who ploughs the land for a living, dressed in cloth, with a little mud on his placket, after Wang Lao Er was brought up, he pointed at Jiang Cailing from a distance and said, "It's her!" ”

Jiang Cailing raised her eyebrows, her red lips spitting lightly, "You saw with your own eyes that I grabbed He Xiangxiang's neck and pushed her into the water?" ”

"That's right! I was under the bridge at the time. Wang Lao Er's expression was very certain when he spoke, and before the words fell, he pointed to a place, "That's where I saw the whole process of your murder." ”

The head catcher seemed a little sleepy, and yawned, "The human and material evidence is there, what else does the prisoner He Ling'er have to say!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, the little woman hasn't confronted the witnesses yet, how can she easily judge who is true and who is false?"

After speaking, he didn't give the catcher time to speak, turned to face Wang Lao Er, and said at a very fast speed: "Let's not talk about how you can see so far away in the dark night, and you can recognize me at a glance." Let me ask you, then why didn't you come out to stop it at that time, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, if you see someone in danger and don't stop it, you will be guilty of the same crime as the criminal! ”

"Nonsense, there is no such law at all!"

"Didn't you?" Jiang Cailing turned to look at the head catcher, with a completely calm expression between her eyebrows and eyes, and said aloud word by word, "Poor master, as a Luoyang head catcher, you must be familiar with the law of the Great Zhou, in the first year of Yuande, the current saint and the Empress Dowager Jiang jointly revised the "Yuande Shu Yi", a total of twelve articles, of which the seventh article is a thief, clearly saying this law. This is little recognized, but it does exist. ”

The face of the head catcher changed, his uncle is Jing Zhaoyin, who stuffs the most money in the case on weekdays, he goes to that side, as for "Yuande Shu Yi", he has not turned it over, where can he remember the seventh article?

Seeing that Jiang Cailing in front of him was so determined, he nodded vaguely.

The second Wang didn't expect that there really was such a law, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart.

Jiang Cailing smiled sweetly and asked softly, "Second Wang, you recall it now and think about what you saw!" ”

"I ......" Wang Lao Er didn't open his mouth for a long time, it was very different from his previous confident appearance, beads of sweat the size of beans came out of his forehead, his cheeks were black and red, he looked like a crab that had been put in a steamer, his blue and white shells were red, and he was still struggling to get out, "Poor master, I seem to have made a mistake, I drank too much that day, and I really can't tell whether it is a dream or reality." ”

He Zongyao didn't expect him to be bluffed, and pointed at Wang Lao Er and scolded very excitedly, "You obviously told me at the time that you saw it with your own eyes!" ”

"That night, someone asked me to go to Jiuquqiao Restaurant to drink, and a few girls accompanied me, I was full of words on the taste of wine, afraid of being said by the mother-in-law at home, so I dispersed the wine by the river. But poor master, I only heard the two arguing, and I really didn't see this girl pushing people into the water! ”
