Thinking back on the process of his crime, Ang Lee can guarantee that with his experience of watching Conan since he was a child, this group of uneducated officials will never find clues so quickly.

Even if you find a clue, it is difficult to connect with him.

Because in the subconscious of the investigators, when they lock the murderer, they will subconsciously exclude their own people.

Besides, even if he found a clue to him, it would be too short.

It's only been a little more than an hour, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, with the assistance of countless high-tech, it is impossible to lock down who the murderer is in such a short time.

But as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what if.

Although the ancients are a little worse in terms of education level, don't treat the ancients as fools.

Rolling up the confession in his hand and stuffing it into his arms, Li An got up and walked to the fourth brother and the servant.

The purpose of approaching the two is twofold.

First, listen to who is the murderer locked by the yamen?

Second, it is the worst-case scenario.

If the yamen was really sure that it was him, Li An would grab the knife and escape as soon as possible.

The fourth brother didn't care about Li An's approach, his face was gloomy and he grabbed the official who reported the news, and said coldly: "What's the matter?" We haven't finished recording the confession here, and you're starting to draw lots over there, who the fuck has the idea. ”

Drawing lots is a secret word within the official mission of the yamen.

It means to find a substitute for the dead.

For some serious cases, if the above is urgent, and the yamen can't find the murderer in a short time, the head catcher will summon the catchers and ask each of them to report a name and let the head catcher catch lots.

Whoever is caught, who will take the case.

The names of each of the Catchers are the ruffians, hooligans, bullies, and beggars in their area.

These people are idle on weekdays, stealing chickens and dogs, kicking widows' doors, and digging up graves, just a group of black sheep.

On weekdays, as long as these people don't violate the bottom line, they will turn a blind eye to their behavior.

But the names of these people will be written down in the small books of the fast arresters.

Once you need to draw lots, who will be written on it depends on the level of filial piety on weekdays.

Once you choose to replace the dead ghost, the yamen will immediately arrest people, and you won't even have a chance to resist and escape.

As for whether the other party pleads guilty or not?

Hmph, to put it mildly, in the Yamen prison, there is no one who does not admit his guilt.

As for the murderer who committed the crime and comes out to commit the crime again, what should I do?

Quite simply, the yamen side will treat it as a new case.

I'm afraid that the two cases have the same modus operandi, and our side will not admit that the wrong person was arrested, and will fool the past on the grounds of imitating the crime.

"No one decides!"

The official spread his hands with a bitter face, and whispered to the fourth brother and Li An: "This is the county magistrate who personally approved the arrest, let me find the head with the order, and let him hurry up to arrest people."

I ran to several places, at other crime scenes, and didn't see my head. Brother Hao, they said that you went to find the head, I thought, the head should be here, so I came here. ”

Li An raised his eyebrows and took the arrest document in the officer's hand.

The fourth brother on the side also turned his head to look at Li An, waiting for Li An to tell what was written on it.

No way, who let him know not many words.

He couldn't even recognize 1/10 of the short hundred words of the arrest document, otherwise he wouldn't have brought Li An over just now and asked Li An to help him write a confession.

After quickly glancing at the paperwork and seeing the name on it clearly, Li Anxin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who's going to be arrested?"

Seeing that Li An had finished reading the arrest documents, the fourth brother took it and stuffed it into his arms.

"T-shaped alley in the south of the city, scholar Zhangwen."

After reporting the person to be arrested, Li An looked at the official who rushed over from the yamen and asked, "Did you see anyone before your lord gave the order?" ”

"I don't know much about that." The official shook his head.

Then he said uncertainly: "But when I came again, I heard the old Jiang Tou who guarded the door say that Cui Yuanwai, the owner behind Chunyue Tower, seemed to be drinking flower wine with the county magistrate inside before the murder occurred." ”

As he spoke, the official pointed to the Spring Moon Tower.

"Cui Yuanwai, the boss behind Chunyue Tower!"

Looking at Chunyue Tower, Li An remembered a gossip message from his second aunt a few days ago in his memory.

A young lady surnamed Cui in the county town had a private agreement with a scholar for life, but was later discovered by her family, placed under house arrest, and was severely taught a lesson by her parents.

The scholar, the Cui family originally planned to beat him to death, but later he was forced by his daughter to die, so he only taught the other party a lesson.

Now, judging from the current situation, the Cui family is planning to take advantage of this case to kill that scholar.

In this way, even if his daughter knows, she can't find a reason to blame her parents.

After all, this scholar died of a crime, not by them.

Thinking about the cause and effect, Li An looked at the fourth brother.

"Fourth brother, I think I know what the reason is."

The fourth brother nodded and whispered back, "I've heard that rumor too." ”

"That's... Do you want to arrest someone now, or wait for the second uncle to come back. ”

"Go get it now! Since our master has issued an arrest document, it means that this case has been decided. After having said... A poor scholar doesn't need to go out in person. ”

"Third son, you take someone to bring the body back to the yamen.

Dog and Huzi, you two stay, watch the people of Chunyue Tower, and don't allow them to run around. ”

decided to arrest people now, the fourth brother explained a few times to the left-behind people, and then went to Zhang Wen's house with Li An and the remaining servants.

The Zhang family was not a wealthy family, with three mud houses, encased in a wooden fence.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, and there was no light in the house, and it was pitch black, and there was no sound.

When he came to the door, one of the officials kicked open the wooden door.

Then, a group of people broke in with a menacing attitude.

"Who?"

A weak inquiry came from the house, and the fourth brother ignored the other party and rushed in directly with the servant.

After a burst of ping-pong noise and scolding, the two officials dragged out a man with a pale face and some bruises on his face and walked out of the house.

was suddenly dragged out by a group of people, Zhang Wen was so frightened that his heart thumped, he thought it was the Cui family, and he came to look for trouble again.

In the room just now, he picked up his sticks and was ready to fight to the death.

The results are clear.

Holding the torch, Ang Lee stepped forward and looked at each other with a serious expression.

"Your name is Zhang Wen."

Under the light of the torch, Ang Lee knew the other party's face clearly.

has a very delicate face, only a little worse than me, no wonder it can seduce everyone.

It's a pity that the predecessor didn't get famous, otherwise with this handsome appearance, and then reciting two sour poems, everyone's girlfriends are not a hook and a quasi.

Zhang Wen, who had been beaten up just now, struggled to open his slightly bruised eyes, saw clearly with the help of the flickering light of the torch, broke into his house, and beat his group.

"People from the government!"

Zhang Wen was stunned for a moment, and his momentum of cowardice was instantly raised, and he scolded angrily: "You damn bastards, you dare to beat a person with a meritorious reputation, it's really bold, don't let me go quickly, otherwise I will go to the county master, and say it well, so that you can't eat and go around." ”

"Smack!"

A servant beside Li An, seeing that this guy was still so arrogant at this time, raised his hand and slapped him, and said sarcastically with disdain:

"Phew, a broken boy survived his fame, it's not disgusting enough to say it."

Li An waved his hand to let him retreat, squatting down and looking at Zhang Wen, who was bleeding from the corners of his mouth.

"To answer my question, is your name Zhang Wen?"

Zhang Wen, who was slapped in the face, was sarcastically beaten again, and his momentum instantly fell to the bottom, and he was afraid of being beaten again, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, Xiaosheng is Zhang Wen." ”

After confirming his identity, the fourth brother took out the arrest document from his arms and lit up in front of Zhang Wen's eyes.

"Zhang Wen, your killing of Zhang Xiucai and others has failed, this is an arrest document, and you have been arrested."

Zhang Wen, who was pressed to the ground, looked at the big blood-red words, and listened to the fourth brother's icy words, and his eyes instantly widened at the boss.

Someone is trying to hurt me!

It's someone from the Cui family.

Zhang Wen was stunned for a moment, figured out the reason, and his face turned red instantly.

I don't know where the strength comes from, but he struggles and roars.

"No, I didn't kill anyone, you are framed, you are framed, it must be the Cui family who bribed you and let you harm me, I want to see Lord County, I want to ......"

"Bang!"

The fourth brother, who was a little impatient with the noise, stepped forward and knocked him to the ground with a punch.

Looking at Zhang Wen, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, the fourth brother said coldly: "Whether it is framed or not, you will know if you enter the prison." ”

"Take it away!"
