Chapter 106: The Key
Yu Jin suddenly looked at Jiang Yi: "When the county lieutenant asked about the case, did Li say that Liu Sheng's second uncle died two years ago?" โ
"Yes, that's exactly what Li said, I remember this very well." Jiang Zhan said.
"That's interesting." Yu Jin smiled.
Jiang seemed to be thinking a little further.
Xiao Shami said that half a month ago, there was a woman dressed as a man who stayed in Lingwu Temple, and she still had a face, and the woman was the same age as the female corpse in the garden of the Changxing Hou Mansion, and she also asked for a peace charm like that - can she guess that the woman surnamed Chi is likely to be the female corpse of the garden?
But this matter has to be verified by Miss Li.
When the three of them exchanged words in a low voice, the county lieutenant had already interrogated several pilgrims separately, and asked Li Zheng and two young people from Qingniu Town to go in and interrogate in turn.
Li Gongzi was counting Miss Li: "Since you are fine, why didn't you say a word when I took people to fish people from the well, and actually stood aside to watch the excitement!" It's okay now, after losing such a big person, our family doesn't know how long we will be laughed at. โ
Miss Li was aggrieved and sad: "When I heard the wind coming, my eldest brother had already ordered someone to go down the well to catch people, how could I stand up in that situation?" โ
"In that case, what did you run out of here for?" Li Gongzi is obviously not so easy to fool.
"I-" Miss Li bit her lip, "I found out that I knew that person, and I was terrified for a moment......"
Li Gongzi stared at Miss Li suspiciously: "Sister, is it really as simple as you and that person just know each other?" โ
Miss Li hurriedly glanced left and right, and said angrily: "Big brother, what nonsense are you talking about, what should I do if someone else hears it?" โ
Li Gongzi sank his face: "Okay, I'll talk about it when I get home." โ
Miss Li breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, a person came over and called Miss Li to go in for questioning, Li Gongzi wanted to stop him, but from the open door he saw the unfathomable expression of the county lieutenant sitting in it, and silently got out of the way.
Miss Li timidly walked in, and as soon as she entered, the door was closed, and her face turned pale with horror.
"Miss Li, don't panic, now this official has some questions to ask you, please rest assured, no one else will know what you say here."
Miss Li bent her knees slightly: "My lord, please ask." โ
The county lieutenant was silent for a moment, and asked straight to the point: "What is the relationship between Miss Li and the deceased Liu Sheng?" โ
"It's just, it's just knowingโ"
The county lieutenant sneered: "This official has already interrogated several people just now, but they didn't say that." โ
Miss Li looked at the county lieutenant in shock.
"If you don't know what to do unless you do, Miss Li often comes to Lingwu Temple to stay, do you think that she will never be bumped into by others?"
"What the adults are saying, the little woman doesn't understandโ"
"Miss Li, I won't tell you the truth, someone saw that you and Liu Sheng had a private meeting at night......" Seeing that Miss Li's face was bloodless and she looked shaky, the county lieutenant's tone turned gentle, "This official just said, what you said here will not be known to a third person." What the official wants to investigate now is Liu Sheng's death, regardless of the affairs of men and women. But if Miss Li doesn't cooperate, then the official can only think that you have a lot to do with Liu Sheng's death, and I can't wait until tomorrow to ask more people. โ
Miss Li's body shook, and she subconsciously held on to the wall, the coldness of the wall made her regain some calm, and the words of the county lieutenant were circling wildly in her mind.
I don't know how long it took, she finally couldn't support it anymore, and hid her face and cried bitterly: "Yes, Liu Sheng and I have made a private agreement for life!" โ
The corners of the county lieutenant's mouth were slightly loose.
Finally pried open this girl's mouth.
"We met in Lingwu Temple, because we can always meet, and after a long time, we will ...... It's a joy for both of them......"
"Miss Li doesn't need to say these things in detail, just tell me if you have made an appointment with Liu Sheng when you come to Shangxiang this time?"
Young men and women who are in love rarely get rid of the control of their families, how can there be a reason not to meet secretly.
After admitting it, Miss Li obviously didn't plan to hide it anymore, and nodded tearfully: "We made an appointment to meet today." Because he was afraid that he would always come on the same day and be seen, he would arrive a day earlier. But I couldn't wait for him after I came, so I went around the town where he might go, and I heard that my brother had brought someone to Lingwu Temple to look for me, and when I arrivedโ"
The county lieutenant waited for Miss Li to ease her emotions and asked, "Did Miss Li notice anything unusual about Liu Sheng?" โ
Miss Li shook her head hesitantly.
"Ling Zun is a person with a meritorious name, and the Li family is a family with a head and a face in Dayang Town. Although Liu Sheng's family runs a cloth shop, it is very difficult for Liu Sheng to get the approval of Ling Zun Lingci, right? โ
Miss Li was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Since the two of you are in love, don't you plan for the future?"
Listening to the words of the county lieutenant, Miss Li seemed to suddenly think of something, and her eyes widened suddenly, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
The county lieutenant sighed: "This official can keep a secret for Miss Li, but Miss Li doesn't want to find out the murderer for the person she likes?" โ
Miss Li bit the back of her hand hard, put down her hand for a while, and said, "He said not long ago that he would take out a large sum of money as a dowry. โ
"Ling Zun won't let go when he sees the dowry list, right?"
Miss Li's face was a little embarrassed: "He said that there was a lot of money, and he would let my father relax." โ
"Then you guys have a date this timeโ"
"When you're ready, we'll definitely meet again to discuss. My lord, I now think about it, the amount of money that can make my father loose must be staggering, and his death will have something to do with it-"
"Okay, the official has a general understanding, Miss Li will go out first."
Instead, Miss Li stood still.
The county lieutenant smiled gently: "Miss Li, don't worry, this official will not let the victim die blindly." โ
Miss Li bowed down, her voice trembling: "The little woman has thanked the adult, please find out the murderer and avenge him!" โ
Miss Li retreated, and the county lieutenant gently patted the arm of the chair and muttered, "It seems that only the most crucial person is left now......
At the same time, Yu Jin said softly: "It seems that only the most critical person is left now......
He and Jiang seemed to look at each other, and the two of them said in unison: "Liu Sheng's mother!" โ
Jiang Zhan raised his eyes to look at the sky.
He hated them the way they looked stupid.
There was a commotion at the gate of the courtyard, and soon several officials walked in quickly, followed by several monks, who seemed to be very dissatisfied with their sudden intrusion.
"My lord, my subordinate has arrived."
The county lieutenant walked out of the house, and the light of the lantern in the night shone on his face, showing a little urgency: "Have you brought it?" โ
Catching the head and holding his fist: "The subordinates took people to Liu Sheng's house, but they didn't see Liu Sheng's mother, but they found that one person was tied to a chair, and the subordinates brought that person." โ
As soon as the head catcher finished speaking, he raised his hand, and immediately a catcher dragged a man with a black cloth bag on his head to come up.
"Take off the sack."
Immediately remove the black cloth bag.
Everyone held their breath and changed their faces when they saw the man's appearance.
