Zhao Ming nodded repeatedly, "Lord Xie Qin, Lord Xie Qin." ”

Qin Zulai nodded, and then said: "Let's talk about it, what is going on in this case, and what is going on with your mother's death?"

Zhao Ming said: "It was two days ago, I was doing business outside, and I went home and called my wife a few times, but there was no answer. ”

"At first, I thought my wife was asleep, so I went to the room to look for her, but who knows......"

Who knows, but saw her body, she was lying on the couch, but her head was gone, and the whole quilt was covered with blood. ”

I was so frightened that I shouted, and when my mother heard the voice, she hurriedly walked over, and when she saw my mother's body, my mother immediately fainted. ”

"I hurriedly asked the doctor to take care of my mother, and then I went to report to the official. ”

"After that, the people from the Criminal Department and the people from the Zhou family of my mother's mother all passed, and as soon as the Zhou family saw my mother's body, they said that I killed my mother. ”

"They said that I had a long discordant relationship with my wife, so I killed my wife, I explained, but they didn't believe me, and then the people from the criminal department arrested me. ”

"That night they tortured me, and what happened after that...... You know all about it, adult. ”

Zhao Ming's face was painful, "I'm afraid that my mother Qin will be hurt, and I can't stand that kind of pain myself, so I recruited it, and I signed it." ”

"Ridiculous!!"

Qin Zu came and slapped the table.

It's really ridiculous!!

"Just because of the four words of discord, they decided that you killed someone??"

And then ...... After a night of torture and threats, you will be asked to sign and be detained, and the case will be closed!"

"This is a case of human life! Human life is as big as the sky, but they treat it like this, it is really ridiculous!!"

Qin Zulai, this is really the first time he has heard that a case can be handled like this.

Zhao Ming said again: "I have no discord with my mother, I know that my family is down, and my mother has been wronged." ”

"Therefore, I have always taken care of my wife in every way, no matter how bad my family's economic situation is, I have never let my mother suffer, how could I kill my mother?"

Hearing this, Qin Zulai's eyes flickered.

He thought for a moment and said, "You were the first to find the dead, weren't you?"

Zhao Ming nodded.

"So, what about the murder weapon? Have you ever found a murder weapon in the room?"

Zhao Ming shook his head, "No, I don't have a dagger in my room, let alone a blood-stained murder weapon." ”

"And what about your lady's head?"

"I don't know, I searched my house and couldn't find it. ”

Qin Zulai narrowed his eyes, "Then this is strange, how much hatred it is, and you have to cut off your lady's head." ”

"And after cutting it off, they also took the head away, aren't they afraid that others will find out?"

Something is not right with this.

Qin Zulai couldn't help but think of the previous Tuyuhun envoy's case.

The headless corpses found, those corpses were the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Because he was afraid of discovering their identities, Tuyuhun cut off their heads.

So this time, why?

Would you cut off an ordinary woman's head?

He stood up and said, "This case, the general matter, the official already knows. ”

"You stay here for a while, and then I'll go and see your lady's corpse. ”

"Your Excellency can't see my lady's corpse. Zhao Ming said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Qin Zulai was slightly stunned.

Zhao Ming continued: "The Zhou family, I think my mother's death is unknown......"

"So, the next day they cremated my lady's missing hand, and now the adults go, maybe they can only see a pile of ashes......"

When the words fell, Qin Zulai's eyes were suddenly stunned.

Cremated?

The corpse is gone??

The case is not over yet, and the head has not been found, so they were cremated??

This......

Qin Zulai felt more and more that this case was too ridiculous.

There's simply nothing like this homemail. The lady of the lighting was obviously killed, and now she hasn't even been found, but the Zhou family directly cremated her because they didn't want to do these two words without waiting for the case to be solved.

What ignorance this is!

From Qin Zu's point of view, this is not "ominous" at all!

He saw that this was for the purpose of destroying the corpse.

"The Zhou family asked you to cremate your lady, did you agree?"

In ancient times, when a woman married, she was a member of her husband's family.

If the husband's family does not agree, how can the mother's family cremate the woman who marries a woman at will?

Zhao Ming shook his head, "I said that the murderer who hurt my lady has not been found yet, and it must not be cremated." ”

"But they said, "I was a thief who cried out to catch a thief, saying that I had killed him, so I did not listen to me at all." ”

"What about the Criminal Department? The case has not been solved, can the Criminal Department let the deceased be cremated?" Qin Zulai asked again.

Zhao Ming shook his head, "I don't know, I was already locked up at the time, but since their Zhou family let me be cremated, the Criminal Department must have agreed." ”

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

"If the case is solved like this, then the world will be a mess. ”

Qin Zulai was a little angry, he said: "Zhao Ming, you can recuperate here with peace of mind, if there is something, the official will come to ask you again." ”

"This official is going to your house now, in case the crime scene of your house is also burned, then there is really no clue at all. ”

After speaking, Qin Zulai left the prison directly.

took Lu Shisan and the others and went to Zhao Ming's house.

Zhao Ming's home is located in the west of Chang'an City and is a small mansion.

Although it is said to be down, it is still much better than the real poor family.

At least this house, if it is sold, it can be sold for a lot of money.

When I came to Zhao Ming's house, I saw Zhao Ming's mother who was sick and washed her face with tears.

After Qin Zulai explained his intentions, Zhao Ming's mother was about to struggle to get up and kneel down for Qin Zulai to buckle her head.

"Your Excellency Judge, please find out the real culprit, and you must return my son's innocence!"

"My son, he will never kill anyone, I kowtow to you, my lord. ”

Qin Zulai hurriedly stopped her and said, "Old man, don't worry, this official has always used evidence to handle cases. ”

"If Zhao Ming really didn't kill anyone, then the official would definitely return his innocence. ”

"The most important thing now is to check the scene to find evidence, so old man, can you take this official to the room where the crime occurred?"

Zhao Mingniang hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "That's right, that's right, look for clues, please come with me." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly walked out, and by accident, he almost didn't fall.

Qin Zulai hurriedly helped the old man, and Zhao Ming's mother did not fall to the ground.

"Don't be in a hurry, old people, slow down. Qin Zu said.

But Zhao Ming's mother was anxious: "My lord, how can you not be in a hurry!"

"My son, my son, he is still suffering in prison...... He hasn't suffered like this for more than 20 years, how can I not be in a hurry. ”

When Qin Zulai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt.

He didn't say much, just asked Lu Shisan to pay more attention to the old man, so as not to let her really fall.

A few people quickly went to another room, and when they opened the door, they could see that the quilt on the couch was stained with a lot of blood.

The original white quilt has been stained with scarlet blood, which looks really shocking.

"This is the room. Zhao Ming's mother said.

Qin Zulai nodded, said no more, and went directly to check.

He looked carefully into the room and found that the only places where there were blood stains were on the couch and the quilt.

Other than that, no traces of blood were seen elsewhere.

Not even on the ground.

This room is not big, and it is not far from the room where Zhao's mother is.

If there was a relatively large movement here, Zhao Mu should be able to hear it.

He asked, "Zhao Ming found the deceased in the morning, and the night before that, old man, did you hear any sound?"

"For example...... Screaming, or screaming, or whatever. ”

Mother Zhao shook her head, "No, I didn't hear anything." ”

Qin Zulai asked again: "Is the old man sleeping very heavy, and is it not easy to be woken up?"

Zhao's mother said: "Your Excellency, it's a little strange to say, I usually wake up in the middle of the night, and I will wake up two or three times a night, let alone one night. ”

"Especially when my son is away from home, I wake up more easily, and I can't help but worry about whether he has suffered hardship, whether he has eaten well and slept well. ”

"But that night, I didn't wake up once. ”

"I slept until dawn, and I woke up when I heard my son's voice. ”

Hearing this, Qin Zulai's eyes suddenly flashed.

said: "That night, you slept more heavily than usual?"

Mother Zhao nodded.

"That'...... Did you eat anything strange that night?" Qin Zulai asked again.

Mother Zhao shook her head, "That night was my daughter-in-law's cook, and she rarely cooked." ”

"My mother and I also feel sorry for her and don't want her to be too tired, so basically I cook. ”

"But that night, my daughter-in-law said that she wanted to honor me, so she made me a big table of dishes, not to mention, it was really delicious, and I ate more when I was in a good mood. ”

"But who knows...... The next morning, it ...... My daughter-in-law had that kind of accident. ”

Saying,

Mother Zhao couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Qin Zulai's eyes flickered, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He took a closer look at the room again, and then said, "Old man, the general situation is now known to the official. ”

"The official hereby assures you that as long as your son has not broken the law, then the official will definitely return his innocence!"

"This official, now I have to go to another place to investigate, you have a good rest, rest in peace, maybe it won't be long before your son Zhao Ming can come back." ”

Hearing this, Mother Zhao nodded hurriedly, and continued to thank Qin Zulai,

After a while, Qin Zulai and Lu Shisan left Zhao Ming's house.

On the way, Lu Shisan couldn't help but ask, "Lord Qin, how is it?"

Qin Zulai pondered for a moment, and then said, "It wasn't Zhao Ming who killed him, and this is not the scene of the first crime." ”

"Isn't it the scene of the first crime?" Lu Shisan was slightly stunned.

Qin Zulai said lightly: "That room is very neatly furnished, and there is no trace of a fight. ”

At the same time, there was no blood at all except on the quilt. ”

"If the deceased had been killed in that room, it would have been impossible for the head to be cut off without blood spilling. ”

"So, at least on the ground or on the walls, there will be more or less these blood stains, but there is no scene at all. ”

Lu Shisan frowned and said, "That'...... Lord Qin, could it be that the murderer wiped it clean?"

"There's no reason," Qin Zulai shook his head.

"What?!"

"The killer had no reason to do so. ”

Qin Zulai said calmly: "The murderer killed someone, he should have wanted to escape immediately, he can't, and there is no reason for him to clean up people's homes." ”

"So there's only one possibility?"

Qin Zulai said lightly: "This is not the scene of the first crime at all, the deceased was killed in other places, and then transported here, it should be a corpse in a sack or something else." ”

When he got to the room, he threw the body out, covered it with a quilt, and then he left. ”

"This also explains why no murder weapons have been found here or nearby, why no blood has been found on the ground or on the walls, and why there is no near the head of the deceased. ”

Speaking of which,

Qin Zulai's eyes flickered, and in his dark eyes, the essence suddenly appeared.

Some of the clues are starting to connect slowly.

He said calmly: "Maybe the murderer cut off the deceased's head, and in a panic, he forgot to bring his head back, maybe the head murderer had another use, maybe it was ......."

Qin Zulai hooked the corners of his mouth and said meaningfully: "Perhaps, the reason is incredible, extremely magical. ”

"What?!"

Here he is, here he is!

This feeling is coming again!!

He was obviously able to understand every word of Qin Zulai.

But after connecting together, I suddenly didn't understand.

At this moment, Lu Shisan felt that he was an idiot.

Qin Zulai couldn't take himself at all.

Qin Zulai didn't explain much at this moment, although this idea was just speculation at the moment, but he felt that maybe the reality was often like this.

He stepped forward and said, "Let's go, Lu Thirteen, let's go." ”

"Where are you going?" Lu Shisan hurriedly chased after him.

Qin Zulai's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Mother's family, Zhou family." ”

The Zhou family, strictly speaking, belongs to the second echelon of the family.

It is only weaker than the first echelon of the Five Hope Seven Sects.

Their family, the Zhou family, is also a famous family in Chang'an.

The location of his mansion is located in the luxurious Yongle Fang in Chang'an, and the mansion is very grand and huge.

Came here,

Qin Zu came to ask Lu Shisan to knock on the door,

It wasn't long before a little servant came to open the door.

Lu Shisan, after he explained his intentions, the little guy knew that Qin Zulai was the judge of Dali Temple, and he didn't dare to offend.

hurriedly went back to report.

It didn't take long for the little guy to return.
