When Jiao Er asked, he was immediately stunned, not knowing what to say.

Fu Ying saw it, waved his hand, and let him go.

The purpose of Fu Ying's question, to see Jiao Er's reaction, if Jiao Er deliberately murdered his brother's life, he should have prepared a portrait, lest future generations not remember what their ancestors looked like, if it wasn't for intentional murder, they wouldn't have prepared a portrait.

Fu Ying thought to herself, there are many doubts in this case, and according to the teacher Bu Huishu's case-solving skills, he can reason backwards. Assuming that what Jiao Er said was true, his brother was bitten to death by a tiger, why did he rush to cremate the body? Why didn't you notify Lizheng and the local security?

Fu Ying knew that the body had been cremated, so she let Jiao Er go home, in fact, she didn't want to startle the snake, give Jiao Er a good impression, let him relax, and also said that according to actual needs, arrange Orion to fight tigers.

Jiao Er was very happy, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Fu Ying just wanted to make Jiao Er relax and be happy, in fact, he had already seen Jiao Er's happiness, although Jiao Er tried his best to pretend to be sad, it didn't take long, and his father and brother left one after another, which is a rare event. As a result, I didn't feel sad when I got to Jiao Shuang, but I felt relaxed and very comfortable.

When Jiao Er returned home, his heart blossomed, people looked sideways and pointed at him, he just pretended not to see, opened his eyes and closed his eyes, in this way, he felt very good.

Jiao Er continued to live a happy life in Laohekou, with a lustful voice, looking for flowers and willows, gambling habits, his father was angry with him, his brother was injured to death by him, and finally cremated, such a person is a piece of rotten meat, which naturally attracts a lot of flies.

He thought he was fine.

The new arrival of the old Hekou County Order, Fu Ying, is Bu Huishu's apprentice and student, who has just arrived and has not yet handled a serious case.

After Jiao Er left, Fu Ying began to visit.

Because of Jiao Da's death, Fu Ying became very interested. If this case is not solved, it is estimated that the emperor will let Fu Ying down, not let him be the county commander, and maybe he will be assassinated to a distant place, and he will not want to come back alive in this life.

Fu Ying took the yamen, including the servants, and the scholars, and almost all the capable generals of the yamen visited with him.

Because this case has a big impact. If the old estuary does not catch the tiger, it will lose the hearts of the people. If the tiger is caught, it wins the hearts and minds of the people. Whether there are tigers or not is another matter.

Fu Ying took her right-hand man and walked around the various townships in Laohekou, and when she asked wherever she went, she said that there were no tigers here.

Fu Ying knew it in his heart, he felt that it was 100% that Jiao Er was lying. In order to cover up the truth of Jiao Da's death, he fabricated the lie that Jiao Da was bitten to death by a tiger, the purpose of which was to confuse the line of sight, to fish in troubled waters, to get through the tricks, and to let Fu Ying retreat from the difficulties and not wade into troubled waters.

After learning the truth, Fu Ying continued to visit to learn about the situation of the Jiao family. Soon, the background and history of the Jiao family were found out.

The Jiao family saved the life of the emperor, so they received the emperor's gift, but in order to avoid suspicion, they left the capital and settled in Laohekou. Landing at the mouth of the old river, taking root and sprouting, like a small tree growing slowly, it needs to separate its branches, continue to grow upward, and separate to the side, just like a large family, which needs to be separated and become a new household. Only in this way can we develop and grow.

When Fu Ying arrived at the hillside, she saw an old farmer busy in the field, so she asked, "Old man, do you have any tigers here?" ”

"Tiger? I heard my grandfather say that he saw it when he was a child. I haven't seen it since. Wolves are also rare. The old farmer said.

"That said, the tiger is definitely gone." Fu Ying asked.

"I'm curious, why do you ask? What does a tiger look like, I also want to know. We've never had a tiger here. The old farmer said.

"Someone reported that there was a tiger, and I was also curious, and when I heard about it, I came over to see the strangeness." Fu Ying said.

"Who are you? Doesn't look like a local? I've also heard that there is a guy named Jiao Er who went to report to the official, and he also wore linen and filial piety, which was a cat crying rat and fake compassion. The old farmer said.

"What's going on?" Fu Ying asked deliberately.

"This is how rare and strange you are. We all know the Jiao family, which is said to be a relative of the emperor. It's a pity that Old Man Jiao and Jiao Da are dead. The old farmer said.

"How did you die?"

"How did you die? Hey, people can't be resurrected after death, and death is also because of the son who is not angry. The old farmer said.

"What's going on?"

"Old man Jiao gave birth to two sons, Jiao Da and Jiao Er. Jiao Da is honest and cowardly by nature, he doesn't cause trouble, and he can't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks. His younger brother Jiao Er is completely the opposite of him, he can speak, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and he can do everything, but he doesn't do his job properly, and he is lazy to eat. As soon as the old man died, he clamored to divide the family and property with the boss. The boss is cowardly by nature, but he is also a bull temper. It is estimated that it is just speculation that the two brothers may have accidentally killed people in order to fight for property. Jiao Er can't do farm work, he has a set of fights, and when he walks outside, he always carries a short knife, either a short knife or a short sword. It is said to be used for self-defense, but in fact it is used for theft, and if it encounters resistance, it will be solved on the spot. The old farmer said.

"It's terrifying! Why doesn't anyone care? Fu Ying asked.

"Tube? Nosy, whoever cares is unlucky. This is a three-regardless area, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he can't control it, whoever has a hard fist is the boss. The old farmer said.

"How do you know? Focus home? Fu Ying asked.

"I'm his neighbor, more than two miles from his house." The old farmer said.

"What did you find a while ago?" Fu Ying asked.

"I found that there were cigarettes in his yard, I thought it was cooking wood and smoking, but then I thought about it, I don't usually have such big cigarettes when cooking, and I thought, maybe I was doing a big thing, so I didn't care. People say that busybody, idleness, more things are better than less. The old farmer said.

"Then do you have anything to do with Jiao Er?"

"Jiao Er? This guy didn't learn well when he was a child, he used his cleverness in the wrong place, his chickens were stolen by him, and his dogs were eaten by him, which harmed my family. The old farmer said.

"Okay, I got it. That's the problem. Is there anything close to Jiao's family nearby? Fu Ying asked.

"Yes." The old farmer asked.

"Who?" Fu Ying asked.

"It's the Ji family. It was only a mile from his house. The old farmer said.

"Okay, got it. Thank you! Fu Ying said.

"Look at you, so polite! At first glance, it's not a local. The old farmer said.

"Yes. I'm not local, I'm passing. Fu Ying said.

Fu Ying didn't want to reveal her identity, but it wasn't time.

They left and went directly to Ji's house.

There is no one in the Ji family.

As he was about to leave, a man probed his brain from a distance.

Fu Ying asked, "Who is there?" ”

When the man asked, he didn't say anything, but ran away.

"Stop, or shoot an arrow!" Fu Ying shouted loudly.

The figure still ran, and Fu Ying ordered someone to shoot an arrow, but he didn't hit the vital point.

"Whoosh-" An arrow flew out and hit the man's heel.

The man was lame and wanted to run, Fu Ying shouted: "If you run again, I will shoot you in the vest." ”

When the man heard this, he was frightened and immediately stopped.

Everyone approached and saw that it was none other than Jiao Er.

It turned out that Jiao Er had already seen a group of people talking to the old farmer, he was supposed to sleep at home during the day, go out to play at night, and engage in some things that he couldn't see people.

When he heard someone talking in the distance, he couldn't sleep well, and when he came out to see, those people were over, and then said goodbye to each other, he saw that the situation was not good, so he left the house, ready to escape, but he didn't expect that there was only one way, he was lucky, maybe when they took the big road, he took the small road, or hid directly in the mountains, they couldn't find it, and over time, don't forget it?

Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, he was just about to go to see what was going on, but he was targeted, he didn't run away, and he was hit by an arrow in his heel, which hurt so much that it made people feel terrified.

"Jiao Er, do you still recognize me?" Fu Ying asked.

"Recognize, recognize, why don't you recognize the master?" Jiao Er said.

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Fu Ying asked.

"I really didn't expect it, didn't the master talk about closing the case?" Jiao Er asked.

"How can the case be closed? I'm also afraid that the tiger will continue to eat people, so I will take people out to look for it, and if I find it, I will kill the tiger, and I can't find it, and I don't feel at ease, I feel that if the tiger is not removed, it will come out sooner or later to harm people," Fu Ying said.

When Jiao Er heard this, he felt that Fu Ying had seen that he was lying, he did lie, and wanted to cover up the real cause of his brother Jiao Da's death.

Jiao Er didn't know if it was pain or nervousness, but he sweated out, and big drops fell to the ground, smashing out one nest after another.

Jiao Er didn't know who Fu Ying was, was it like those previous county orders, as long as he was in charge of Laohekou, there would be a difficult mystery to solve, this county order was not ordinary, he didn't know, this was Bu Huishu's apprentice, and he was also a student, and the identity of the emperor was the same.

He learned a lot of case-solving skills from Bu Huishu, and for the murder of Jiao Da, he could see at a glance that it was not the tiger that did it, it must have been done by people, and the tiger was just an excuse to scare and scare Fu Ying.

Who knew that Fu Ying was not frightened, but very calm, and could see at a glance that Jiao Er was not a good type, but the strategy for Jiao Er was to put a long line to catch a big fish, let him go first, and then go, let him be unguarded, and after his nerves relaxed, he would take action, and a surprise attack would be successful.

This strategy is effective, and sure enough, Jiao Er was fooled, and he really thought that the case was closed, and the government would no longer pursue it. Don't you know, Fu Ying also came back to the carbine, knowing that human life is at stake, and without Lizheng and earth protection, let this person disappear out of thin air, which is not fun. So he ordered Jiao Er to take them to his house to have a look, and of course Jiao Er didn't dare not listen. Otherwise, with another arrow in the heel, his whole person will be explained.

Jiao Er was hit by an arrow, he was a lot more honest, and he knew that he couldn't escape from his wings, so he simply accepted his fate and stopped resisting.

"Go, take away the short sword on his body, and see if there are any other murder weapons, and if so, take them together." Fu Ying ordered.

He quickly stepped forward, searched him clean, a short sword, a dagger, these things were carried with him and used to commit crimes.

Then he set up Jiao Er and asked him to lead the way to his house.

There was nothing in his house, the house was intact, and in the middle of the yard, there was a pile of ashes.

It's already a scorched earth.

It seems that the case has reached the point of exhaustion, and there is no way to continue walking.

Fu Ying didn't give up, although the fire burned everything, there was still a way. He sent people into the house to search for evidence related to the case. In the firewood room, a machete was found. There were blood stains on it.

Looking at the bloodstains is not old, it is relatively fresh.

"That's your tool for killing, right?" Fu Ying asked.

"It's not." Jiao Er replied, categorically.

Jiao Er knew that once he confessed, it would be equivalent to death, and Jiao Er could be judged as a murderer just by the fresh blood stains on the machete, obviously the evidence was insufficient and not sufficient and conclusive. Additional evidence is needed.

Fu Ying knew that Jiao Er would not cry when he saw the coffin, and he still needed to come up with more convincing evidence.

Fu Ying ordered someone to sweep away the ashes in the yard, and then asked someone to find charcoal, burn it, and then sweep it away and sprinkle sesame seeds on the place where the charcoal was burned just now.

When the sesame seeds are heated, they begin to crack and ooze oil, and the sesame oil and the oil on the ground merge to gradually take on the shape of a person.

When Jiao Er saw it, he was so frightened that his soul flew away, and when he saw this human form, it was clearly his brother, he was so frightened that he went limp, was held by the officials, and reluctantly continued to watch.

It turned out that the coke was burned, and the hot oil flowed on the ground, penetrating into the ground, Fu Ying made people burn charcoal, melted the grease, and when they encountered sesame seeds, the sesame seeds burst when they were hot, oozing out the grease, and fused with the coke oil, and it became a scorched human shape.

On the large figure, there are places where the hands, feet, and limbs are complete. It is the image of a complete person.

Among them, dozens of sesame seeds burst under the scorched left ribs, and the sesame seeds burst in several vital places such as the navel, some more, some less, all of which were injured places. In these places, it was clear that there were fatal wounds, or stab wounds or cuts with sharp objects. The murder weapon used may have been a short sword or a machete.

These analyses are well-founded. Fu Ying knew that in order for Jiao Er to confess, he had to take evidence.

Obviously, Jiao Da was cremated in the courtyard after being killed.

The neighbors who live here can prove the fact of the fire, the three fathers and sons of the Jiao family, the father died, and the rest are Jiao Da and Jiao Er, and now it is Jiao Er who is alive, where is Jiao Da? Obviously, if you are injured by a tiger, you also need to have evidence. It has been ascertained that there are no tigers here, and in addition, tigers do not use short swords or machetes or other murder weapons, but only people.

Fu Ying pointed to Jiao Da's left rib and navel and asked, "How many slashes have you slashed in these places, and how many places have you stabbed with a short sword?" It's obvious here! Do you need to quibble any more? ”

Jiao Er has already decided on the suspect, he saw what Fu Ying showed, he was completely admired, and he had nothing to say.

"Poof", Jiao Er knelt down, wept bitterly and said: "Master, I said, I'm not human, I was angry with my father and killed my brother, it's really better than a beast, master, you sentence me to death, I'm willing to die." ”

"Don't worry, even if you die, you must have a program, not just a casual death. Be legal. Left and right, escort the criminals back to the county office. Fu Ying commanded.
