Lin Boqin, Chu Cheng and others rushed to the inn next to Yuxuan Tower, and Song Zhihe had already gone to the empty building.

According to the innkeeper, Song Zhihe packed up his things and left as soon as he was released from the county office.

Lin Boqin ordered Yang Lahu Yu: "Not long after the people left, Yang La, you led people to block the county town and make every effort to search and arrest; Hu Yu, you go out of the city to track down all the key roads, and you must catch the suspect. ”

The two left with the people and horses, and the Du family couple in the Yuxuan Building next door heard the movement and hurriedly came out to ask.

"Lord Lin, have you caught the murderer of my Jiaojiao?"

Lin Boqin said with a solemn expression: "If I guessed correctly, it should be Song Zhihe." ”

Du Yuxuan and Qi ignored it, and some of them couldn't react. The second elder was deeply moved by Song Zhihe's affection in the court, and when he came back, he wondered if he had wronged a good person.

"Isn't the murderer a flower thief in a serial case?"

"But the flower thief didn't kill Ling Yan."

"I didn't kill Wen Lanxin either." Chu Cheng added with certainty.

Lin Boqin glanced at her, as if waiting for her next.

Chu Cheng put away her jokes and said seriously: "I have seen the autopsy of Fengshui Yang Jia, Qin An Leng Qiuyue and Du Jiaojiao before. Yang Jia and Leng Qiuyue's feet are both eight inches long, and when the flower thief kidnapped me, he also said that he didn't like women with small feet. Du Jiaojiao is a pair of small feet, and her beaded shoes are only about four inches, and I will never be mistaken. And Lan Xin ...... Although she did not bind her feet, she was born short and her feet were not long, not to mention whether the flower thief had been to Qingyuan County, based on this alone, it could be determined that he had not violated Lan Xin. ”

For some reason, Lin Boqin subconsciously looked down at Chu Xi's feet.

Under the goose-yellow pleated skirt, a pair of feet are of moderate length and width, which is wonderful, and the edges of the light cyan blue leaf satin shoes are embroidered with silver threads, shining in the sun.

A sentence from "Luo Shen Fu" suddenly popped up in Lin Boqin's mind: Ling Bo walks slightly, and Luo socks are dusty.

“…… Husband? Lord Lin? Lin Boqin! ”

Chu Cheng pulled Lin Boqin's sleeve, and he came back to his senses.

"What?"

Chu Cheng was angry: "Did you hear what I asked you clearly?" ”

Lin Boqin put his fist to his lips and coughed twice: "I'm just thinking about something." ”

Chu Cheng glanced at him angrily: "I mean, although it can be concluded that Song Zhihe is the murderer, I still can't figure it out, why did he violate Wen Lanxin, and he is in the detention center of the county government, how did he get past the eyes and ears of the cell boss and arrive at Shuangyun Lane?" ”

Lin Boqin's eyes condensed slightly: "I'm afraid I can't know until I see Song Zhihe." ”

After all, Song Zhihe had only escaped for a short time, and the whole county was trying its best to search for him, and it didn't take long for Hu Yufang and others to arrest him in the woods on the outskirts.

Lu Xiaoyun was also with him.

The two of them were wearing burdens, straw hats, and blackened faces, and they really couldn't recognize them if they didn't look closely.

Hu Yu pointed at the two of them with a knife, humming and sneering: "This time, let's see what tricks you can come up with." ”

***

Because the deaths of Leng Qiuyue and Yang Jia did not belong to Qingyuan County, the bodies of the flower thieves were transported to the government to close the case.

But Wen Lanxin and Du Jiaojiao's case is not over yet.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The drum of grievances was beaten.

County Yasheng Hall.

Du Yuxuan, Qi Shi, Deng Changning, Chu Cheng and others all stood on the plaintiff's bench in the court.

Song Zhihe put on the shackles, he looked depressed, lowered his head, and did not dare to look directly at the gold-lettered plaque above Lin Gongtang.

Lu Xiaoyun knelt on the ground, motionless, his heart like ashes.

"Song Zhihe, on July 10 in Red Lake, what happened to you and Du Jiaojiao, come from the truth."

Song Zhihe slammed his knees into the kneeling pit and choked up: "My lord, the grass people have wronged ......"

"You've wronged a fart!" Chu Cheng angrily took out the gilt hairpin from her arms and threw it on the ground, with a crisp "ding" sound, "I see how else you can explain!" ”

Lin Boqin saw that she was messing around again, and couldn't help but sink his face: "There are no people to do with it, and you must not disturb the order of the court." ”

Chu Cheng raised her head and retorted unwillingly: "Why am I waiting for no one to do it?" Lan Xin is my good friend, you are still my husband! ”

Lin Boqin's forehead twitched: "...... Yang Lahu Yu, drag her out. ”

Chu Cheng is here, he really can't judge the case properly.

"Lin Boqin, you negative man-"

Chu Cheng was kicked out of the court, and could only lie outside the main hall through the fence to listen.

Lin Boqin finally felt that his ears were clear.

He patted the shocked wood, and said with a straight face: "Song Zhihe, the evidence is ironclad, you still want to quibble?" Do you want to serve the punishment before you are willing to tell the truth? ”

Song Zhihe glanced at the dazzling gilt hairpin on the ground, closed his eyes, and hissed: "My lord, I'll move." ”

Song Zhihe has been consciously brilliant and ambitious since he was a child, and he has studied hard for ten years just to be named once and glorify his ancestors. Last year, he came to Qingyuan County to visit a teacher, so he stayed at the inn next to Yuxuan Building. It was at that time that he met Du Yuxuan's eldest daughter, Du Jiaojiao. As the so-called leakage frequency shifts, the slight clouds want to be wet, it is the golden wind and jade dew. The wind and snow in the poem are very compatible with the two, and Song Zhihe even sent a letter of appointment to Du Yuxuan, sincerely asking to marry Du Jiaojiao.

Speaking of this, Song Zhihe suddenly raised his head and glared at Du Yuxuan and Qi Shi fiercely: "It's all your fault!" If you hadn't been a hindrance, Jiaojiao wouldn't have died. ”

Du Yuxuan gritted his teeth and scolded: "I have long seen that you are not a thing, how can I rest assured that my daughter will marry you!" Now that you have killed her, you blame us? ”

Lin Boqin frowned and scolded: "Silence! He looked at Song Zhihe and motioned for him to continue.

Du Yuxuan did not allow this marriage, and even put Du Jiaojiao under house arrest, but how could the two of them be separated so easily when they were in love. In order to exchange heartfelt feelings with Song Zhihe, Du Jiaojiao entrusted her friend Lu Xiaoyun to help deliver the letter. Song Zhihe and Du Jiaojiao don't see each other often, but they can be with Lu Xiaoyun at any time, Lu Xiaoyun is interested in Song Zhihe, deliberately approaching, coming and going, so people are the most changeable, Song Zhihe's feelings for Du Jiaojiao gradually faded.

"Yet these ...... Jiaojiao doesn't even know. ”

Song Zhihe said in a low tone.

After hearing this, Qi suddenly reacted and said loudly: "No wonder...... No wonder Lu Xiaoyun deliberately said in front of me that day, the deceased had already been buried in the ground, and I was kind to you because of guilt. Now that I think about it, you are afraid that Lord Lin will find out the clues on the corpse! It's a pity that every day is clear, God has eyes, you dog men and women, you still can't escape the death penalty! ”

Chu Cheng pricked up her ears and heard this, and her heart was clear, the Du family hurriedly buried Du Jiaojiao without stopping, but it was because of this.

Lu Xiaoyun started crying.

She fell to the ground and said, "I'm sorry...... Jiaojiao is so good and excellent, I have envied her since I was a child, and I envy everything she gets. However, I like Shiga no less than her! Jiaojiao has been growing up since she was a child, and she has everything she wants, and although I am her handkerchief, no one buys me a sugar gourd when I was a child...... She has so many things, what's the matter, just, just giving Song Zhihe to me? ”

Chu Xiao rolled her eyes, this Lu Xiaoyun was really shameless.

Song Zhihe took over the conversation and choked up: "In the end, I'm sorry for her, it's not good for us to keep hiding it like this." Therefore, on the 10th day of July, I asked Lu Xiaoyun to meet Jiaojiao at the Red Lake, and before going to the appointment, I was depressed and drank a lot of wine......"

Du Jiaojiao learned the truth and couldn't accept that the man she had loved for several years liked her friend. With a squeamish personality, she unexpectedly had an argument with Song Zhihe, and gave Song Zhihe a slap during the period. Song Zhihe was full of alcohol, thinking back to the time when he used to get along with Du Jiaojiao, and when there was no one around, he took a boat to Zhouzhu in the middle of the lake and insulted Du Jiaojiao.

"I really don't want to kill her...... But afterwards, Jiaojiao threatened me and told me not to associate with Xiaoyun. I couldn't do it, but she didn't negotiate at all, and said that she would report to the official...... At that time, there was a murder of a flower thief in Fengshui, so I strangled her to death in Honghu Zhouzhu, and all the valuable things on her body were thrown into the lake by me. Song Zhihe paused.

When Qi heard this, he cried out with a "woo": "Song Zhihe, you can't die well!" ”

Song Zhihe wiped his tears, raised his head and said, "Lord Lin, killing Du Jiaojiao was all done by the grass people alone, and it has nothing to do with Lu Xiaoyun. She did not show up at Red Lake that day, and her neighbors can testify. ”

"Zhihe ......" Lu Xiaoyun bit his lip and burst into tears, "It's me who is not good, it's me who met you too late, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." ”

Lin Boqin sorted out the ins and outs of the Honghu murder case, and said coldly: "There is no regret medicine in the world, since you have done it, don't cry." ”

Song Zhihe said with a sad face: "I originally thought that this murder case could be planted for the flower thief, but after discussing with Xiaoyun, I didn't escape, and even asked Jiaojiao to deliberately reveal that I was there that night...... Unexpectedly, the deeds were revealed, and they were still debunked by adults. ”

Lin Boqin said lightly: "If people don't know, unless they don't do it." ”

"Lord Lin, please take it lightly! Shikawa ...... Zhihe has studied hard for many years, and he still has to take the test to gain fame. ”

Lu Xiaoyun kowtowed vigorously with a "bang", and the corner of his forehead suddenly bled like an infusion.

Song Zhihe's face was full of unbearable: "Xiaoyun, why are you like this!" ”

Chu Ji only felt disgusted when she looked at this scene, and she was unhappy to replace the dead Du Jiaojiao. Once upon a time, did Song Zhihe also cherish Du Jiaojiao so much? As long as a man changes his mind, the things that he once valued most as treasures can be discarded in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Deng Changning on the side couldn't hold back any longer, he rushed forward and lifted Song Zhihe's shirt: "You, you killed Du Jiaojiao, why don't you stop it, and you still come to insult my family's Lanxin?!" ”

Song Zhihe looked dazed: "I don't understand what Your Excellency is talking about." ”

"Hugh pretend to be confused!" Touching Wen Lan's heart, Fang Shuangping couldn't help himself, he rushed forward and punched and kicked Song Zhihe, "Birds and beasts are not as good as dogs!" You give my cousin's life back! ”

"Come on, stop them!"

Lin Boqin was busy snorting.

The official pulled Deng Changning and Fang Shuangping, whose eyes were red, to the side, and the two were still angry.

Song Zhihe also reacted, and he stepped forward on his knees: "My lord! Adults! Although the grass people killed Du Jiaojiao by mistake, the grass people will never know the law again! What kind of Wen Lanxin is that, the grass people have never seen it...... Yes, when Wen Lanxin died, the grass people were still detained in the detention center, which countless cell bosses can testify! ”

What he said was true.

Lin Boqin had already asked the officials of the torture room about this matter, and they all confirmed that Song Zhihe was being held in the detention center. Song Zhihe allowed to buy a person to lie, but to buy a group of people, he didn't have the ability to do so.

Lin Boqin believed that he had not violated Wen Lanxin.

Maybe the person who violated Wen Lan's heart was the flower thief.

But man is dead, and there is no way to confront him.
