Chapter 59: Three Nights to Know the Truth

Li Zheng said that he was going to report to the county government, but Tong Xiaomin was not worried, because Li Zheng was preconceived, just look at Xiaoxian next to him.

Xiao Xian was panicked in her heart, looking left and right, and spoke incoherently.

Li Zheng found a suspicious point, but was not sure, in order to reduce his trouble, he sent someone to report to the official quickly, and after a while, the county government came, asked about the situation, and then took the suspect to the scene of the crime to see.

Xiaoxian said that she wouldn't go anything, Xiaomin went, and when she saw the tragic situation at the scene, she fainted at that time, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to die like this in the end, and her condition was so miserable that she couldn't bear to gamble.

The county commander sent people to take the two to the county jail and detain them.

After an inquest, it was found that the mother-in-law had indeed died of poisoning.

Further investigation revealed that arsenic was responsible.

The county order determined that Xiao Min did it, Xiao Min didn't admit it, and the county order beat him, Xiao Min was knocked unconscious, almost dying, and then he admitted it in a daze.

However, there are still many doubts.

From the perspective of human feelings, Xiaoxian is less likely to commit a crime, because a woman will not kill her mother, unless she is not a person, observing Xiaoxian, she is still very sad about her mother's death, Xiaomin is not sad, and she seems to be relatively happy.

It is also understandable that Xiao Min is often beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law, and when she encounters this situation, as a normal person, she is comfortable in her heart, but she feels scared, and her mother-in-law is still scary when she is dying, so that Xiao Min is afraid, but fortunately, it is the last time she is afraid, and then she is afraid in her dreams, and generally in her dreams, it is the opposite, so that Xiao Min can feel at ease, so during the interrogation, she is not surprised and afraid, but she is in pain and uncomfortable, and she confesses her guilt in a daze.

Fu Ying read the case file and thought to herself, if you are poisoned, you need to find out the whole process, why poison?

It's normal to have contradictions, and it's understandable that there are often quarrels, Xiaomin was beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law, this is what many mothers-in-law do, and the daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years, and the mother-in-law is here to bully the daughter-in-law, so as to spread the anger received from the previous generation to the next generation, this is retribution.

There is a quarrel, it will not be fatal, looking at Xiaomin's appearance, he does not look like a heinous person.

If you want to solve the case, you must first find out where the arsenic came from.

Fu Ying arranged for someone to go down to check all the pharmacies. After investigation, none of the pharmacies remembered to give Tong Xiaomin arsenic.

Later, Fu Ying sent someone down to check if there was any prescription for Xiao Min from Lang Zhong, which contained arsenic, but all Lang Zhong asked all of them, and no, many people didn't know Xiao Min, Xiao Min was young, and he had never been sick since he was a child. was beaten and scolded, the mother-in-law was sick, and the daughter-in-law was healthy, what a pitiful!

Lang Zhong and the pharmacy asked, and then saw if other grocery stores sold arsenic to Xiaomin, but after checking for a long time, the grocery store did this arsenic business illegally, once found, the person will be sentenced, never come back, the store will be confiscated, and all property will be confiscated.

No one dares to take this risk, the risk is too great, and if you are not careful, you will go bankrupt.

The clue of the grocery store is also broken, who else?

While he was meditating, someone came in to report that a merchant from a neighboring county had come to surrender.

When Fu Ying heard this, she was overjoyed, this is the key to solving the case, she was thinking about the grocery store, but she didn't expect the mobile grocery store, what she thought about was fixed, but what she didn't expect was the mobile grocery store.

"Hurry up, please!" Fu Ying commanded.

The person who came was a middle-aged man, who looked dark and a little rough-skinned, probably because he often ran outside, and was exposed to the wind and rain, as soon as he came in, he knelt down and said: "Master, the little one heard that there was a murder here, and the little one passed by that village before, and he was very uneasy, so he came over to provide information and help the master solve the case." I also heard that the old man is Qingtian, transferred from the old estuary to investigate the case, the little one knows that the current county order is not as good as one-tenth of the old man's ability to handle cases, and knows that the old man is discerning, not in vain, releasing the good guys, arresting the bad guys, not wronging the good guys and not letting go of the bad guys, and asking the lord to continue to keep it, so the little ones are more confident to do the things at hand. ”

"Okay, you say! What is the situation you know? Fu Ying said.

"Sir, the little one was forced to sell arsenic to that girl." The merchant said.

"If you were asked to recognize, would you be able to recognize?" Fu Ying asked.

"Absolutely." The merchant said.

"You come with me." Fu Ying commanded.

He asked the cell to be lit more often, as if it were daylight, and the thieves who were imprisoned, the fights, the liars, and the murderers of their husbands and adulterers were all very surprised. Do you want to correct the Fa on the spot?

are full of questions and curiosity, Xiao Min doesn't care, she has been tortured since she was a child, she has rough skin and thick flesh, she has a strong will, and she often does all kinds of work, so she has exercised it.

Xiao Xian was a little bad, she was afraid and uneasy, she was restless, and kept scolding Xiao Min in her mouth, Xiao Min didn't pay attention to it, and scolded back when she was in a hurry, once Xiao Min scolded back, Xiao Xian became even more angry, and the content of the scolding was richer.

The vocabulary is rich and there is no repetition, this kind of scolding is not practiced in a day or two, her scolding skills are very good, so that many people are out of reach, and some people in the cell have already realized that Xiaoxian is not an idle person.

For the light, Xiaoxian and Xiaomin didn't know the reason, guessing that they might have to interrogate the suspects, or torture these people, for fear that they couldn't see where they were hit, and if they hit the vital point, it would be troublesome.

On the other side of the wall of the cell where Xiaoxian and Xiaomin were held was where Fu Ying brought the merchant.

Next door was an observation room, with a small hole in the wall, and the light was dim inside, but the other side of the wall was brightly lit.

Xiao Xian couldn't see the situation on this side of the wall, but Fu Ying could see the situation in Xiao Xian's cell clearly.

When she arrived at the designated place, Fu Ying asked the merchant: "There is a hole there, go and see, who did the arsenic sell to?" ”

"Good!" The merchant agreed, and when he approached the small hole, he immediately recognized Xiaoxian.

Xiaoxian wears a green sprinkled jacket, Xiaomin wears a coarse cloth with a blue background and a white flower single coat, no cotton, it can be seen that under the same roof, who is the master and who is the servant, who is enjoying happiness and who is suffering.

The merchant said, "The one who wears a green jacket is." ”

After saying that, he took two steps back and stood in the doorway.

"Okay, the official knows, take a step to speak." Fu Ying said.

At the same time, he arranged for someone to eavesdrop on the side to see if he could get useful clues from the two women, who knew that the two of them would have endless words together, and they always kept scolding, especially Xiaoxian was even more powerful, Xiaomin could only resist conventionally, and sometimes shed a few tears.

Fu Ying knew who got the arsenic and knew that it was sold to her, so she ruled out the possibility that the merchant was an accomplice.

also proves that the merchant is not in the same group as Xiaoxian.

Some people spread rumors that it was the merchant who wanted to take Xiaoxian away, but Xiaoxian's mother disagreed, so the merchant discussed with Xiaoxian to poison her mother with arsenic and then eloped with the merchant.

This argument was dismantled by the purchase of arsenic. Because the arsenic was sold to her, it was possible if it was given away.

On the other hand, the merchant can be Xiaoxian's father, and the merchant has no fixed place to live and wanders around without a sense of security, why should Xiaoxian marry the merchant? None of these claims hold water.

The arsenic was given to Xiao Xian, and Xiao Xian is more likely to commit the crime, but it cannot be proved that Xiao Xian must have done it, and the evidence is not sufficient. It is obvious that arsenic caused death, who poisoned it is a doubt, and the mother-in-law died in the daughter-in-law's room, which is also a doubt, why didn't she die in her own room? If she dies in her daughter-in-law's room, it will be difficult for her daughter-in-law to clear her suspicions.

After Fu Ying arranged the merchant, she went to the village to investigate the people's situation, and most of them said that Tong Xiaomin was very hardworking and filial, although she was often beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law, but she never returned the favor.

It's just that the sister-in-law is a little too deceitful, she is already strong, she is lazy to eat at home, she wants to wear good clothes and eat well, she doesn't work, and treats Xiaomin as a slave.

The village unanimously agreed that Xiao Min was good and Xiao Xian was bad.

After knowing this fact, Fu Ying knew it in her heart, so she asked people to go to the famous local temple to arrange it.

Fu Ying remembered what Master Bu had said, the evil of the human heart began with the first human ancestors, the law of conscience, some of which were obvious, and some of which were sleeping. It needs to be awakened in the name of the gods to arouse awe in order to know the true nature of their hearts.

He knows the meaning of this, that is, people who do bad things will generally suffer from their conscience, and one day they will be discovered, it is better to put them in a special environment to find out early, people will do something in a special environment that they can't think of, as if they have no brains, the fact is that they have no brains at the time, and it is too late to wake up.

When I woke up, I found that I couldn't take back what I had said.

Thinking of this, Fu Ying did something in the temple.

Then Xiao Min and Xiao Xian were transferred to the temple and imprisoned.

Just behind the statues, next to them were lined with grinning statues with bared teeth, which suddenly looked terrifying, and those statues were lifelike and looked very realistic.

The two were detained at the same time and in the same place, with shackles on their feet, one end fixed on the pillar, the two could talk, but they couldn't fight, because the distance was not enough, if Xiaoxian wanted to kill or be killed, it would not be good for the case, Fu Ying arranged it properly, let the two keep a certain distance, and at the same time arrange someone to hide behind the idol to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

Xiaoxian couldn't figure out how to move from the county jail to the temple, and kept scolding the dog official. Of course, after scolding the dog officer, he began to scold Xiaomin.

Xiao Min was still in tears, and scolded back when she was scolded, Xiao Min was physically and mentally exhausted and had no energy.

The first night was spent like this, Fu Ying listened to the report of the staff on duty, found nothing, said that Xiaoxian scolded the dog officer, Fu Ying also laughed, knowing that this was in line with common sense.

Fu Ying arranged for the staff on duty to continue to wait.

The second night was still like this, Fu Ying smiled: "I don't believe that you can survive the third night!" ”

It turned out that Xiaoxian was very timid, ruthless at home, and cowardly outside, this time it was self-defeating, she originally wanted to poison Xiaomin, but she killed her own mother, she regretted and hated. I regret that I didn't personally serve it to Xiao Min to drink, and what I hate is that I don't die if I don't die, and I don't die if I don't deserve it!

She likes her mother very much, because her mother loves her, treats her brother badly, affects her daughter-in-law, gives her anything delicious, makes or buys beautiful clothes for her, goes to the temple fair every year or something, in short, takes her to play with fun, including going to the temple to burn incense and kowtow to pray for blessings.

Her mother is very faithful to gods and ghosts. When she saw the strange stone since she was a child, her mother had to worship it, she looked pious, but she was afraid of retribution, but she always abused Xiaomin, and felt that she couldn't do it too well to be too good for Xiaomin, and it was very difficult. She also heard that someone was taken away in the temple, and the body was in the temple, and she also ran to see it, and strangely, there was no one in the temple. Some people say that it was killed by electricity, but the strange thing is that there was no thunder and lightning that day, where did the electricity come from? The case has not been clarified until now. It is said that the deceased was a woman who was a storyteller. This is what is often referred to as a long-tongued woman. The long-tongued woman is just a broken mouth, and she will not be beaten to death by electricity. This made her feel puzzled and frightened.

was transferred to this place, she was 10,000 unwilling, if she committed a crime, she would be killed or chopped in prison, what the hell did she come to the temple to do?

In the first half of the night, she kept scolding, and when she was tired of scolding, she became sleepy, and the feeling of being tied was very uncomfortable, and people were going to fall asleep groggy.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, suddenly there was a loud voice, like a bell, shouting: "Xiaoxian, Zhang Xiaoxian, Zhang Xiaoxian!" ”

Xiao Xian was hazy when she only heard a rumbling sound, she looked up, and found that the idol moved, she pinched her thigh fiercely, and felt pain, proving that this was not a dream, she rubbed her eyes again, and watched the idol slowly walk towards her, while walking, shouting her name, the standing gods on both sides were also pressing towards her, so frightened that Xiao Xian immediately peed her pants, she suddenly had weak legs and feet, and involuntarily knelt and kowtowed, and the water on the ground did not care, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and said again and again: "Great God, great God, Great God, It was I who poisoned my mother, I poisoned it, but it wasn't intentional, I was going to poison Xiaomin, I wanted to poison my sister-in-law Xiaomin, I didn't want to poison my mother, it wasn't intentional, it wasn't intentional, it was my mother who ate the wrong one, she ate the egg soup I prepared for my sister-in-law and died, I didn't mean it, you don't accept me, don't accept me, I still want to live, I want to live! Please forgive me, God! I am willing to wait for the great god day and night, make sacrifices to the great god, make offerings every day, and ask for prayer every night! ”

Xiaoxian kept talking, for fear that she would lose her life soon.

As soon as the words fell, the strange thing was that the statue slowly retreated to its original place, and the gods on both sides also returned to their original state, Xiaoxian looked at it, almost didn't believe her eyes, and rubbed it again, and looked carefully It was back, she breathed a sigh of relief, and finally picked up a life. It seems that the great god saw pity and forgave her.

Just thinking about this beautiful thing, Fu Ying suddenly walked out from behind the statue, as well as the officials such as Shuli, Fu Ying laughed and said: "It seems that the great god is the great god, and it is much stronger to invite the god to judge the case than to try the case by this official!" Zhang Xiaoxian, what else do you have to say? What you just said to the great god, the official heard everything, and it was written in black and white, and the book was recorded in the volume, what else do you have to say? ”

Xiao Xian looked at this formation, and then took a closer look, there was a familiar person in the crowd, but she was shocked just now, and she forgot where she had seen it, what was going on? Could it be that this is the legendary injustice that will kill oneself? No, no, no, there is not enough evidence to convict immediately. There should still be a chance to save his life.
