Chapter 113: The True Murderer
Xu Xian Ling once again took a picture of the shocking wood: "Who is in the hall?" ”
"The villain is wronged, the little Shen Zhong, originally from Youzhou, fled all the way here, I heard that the people of Xiangzhou live and work in peace and contentment, and they also want to settle down here.
Shen just had some money left, so he wanted to rent a house to live in, and then look for a job after the New Year.
I wandered around the city for a while, and as soon as I arrived at his door, I was knocked unconscious from behind and tied me up. As a result, when I woke up, they escorted me here.
Ming Mansion, Shen is really wronged! They say I cut my tongue, what tongue do I cut? It is clear that someone robbed me of my money, and I want to frame me, and ask the Ming government to investigate. ”
Shen Zhong cried, and Lin Sheng finally raised his head, and his face calmed down a little.
"Mingfu, this is a note attached to him. Please also take a look at the Ming Mansion. Willow presented a piece of paper.
I can't read the words on it clearly, but looking at the reaction of Xu County's order, it should be what Liu Shu said.
"Sky Eye Secret Agent...... Forehead...... Envoy, I wonder if this is really the work of the Tianyan secret agent? Xu Xian Ling couldn't help but ask Xiao Mu again.
Xiao Mu finally came to his senses, picked up the paper and looked up and down for a long time, smelled and smelled, and lit up the fire fold and took it again, and then waved his hand: "Take a bowl of vinegar!" ”
A clever servant hurriedly ran to the back kitchen and brought a bowl of vinegar: "Envoy, give." ”
Xiao Mu didn't answer, soaked the note in his hand into vinegar, then stared at it for a moment, and finally smiled: "That's right, this is the information of the Tianyan secret agent, and there is our exclusive code on it." ”
Li Dongsheng couldn't help but stare at it too: "What code?" Where? ”
"Let's take it." Xiao Mu stopped Li Dongsheng and said to the officials.
"That'...... How did the Tianyan spy find out this person, so that you can make it clear, eh...... It is also good for the lower officials to give an explanation to the people. Xu Xian Ling said, still in a trance.
"Shen is not convinced, Shen is really wronged, who are you? Actually interfered with the trial of the county order? Shen Zhong shouted at Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu's eyes were full of disdain: "As a fine work, who am I, will you not know?" Master Lin's book, have you finished writing it? Let him sign it. ”
Lin Sheng waved his hand and said, "Lin is stupid, I don't know how to record it?" After all, the suspect didn't confess, and we didn't have a legal offense. ”
"Oh? Want him to confess? Isn't that easy? Xu County ordered, bring all the torture instruments in your prison, and serve the torture, I don't think he can recruit him. ”
"Wait!" Xu Xianling didn't answer, but Li Dongsheng grabbed the conversation: "What are you doing?" Do you want to bend into a trick? It's the Sky Eye Secret Agent...... Which secret agent found out, so let's talk about it. ”
Xiao Mu smiled slightly: "Secret agent! Called to the lobby, so many people have seen it, is there a secret? ”
"What then? Anyway, you can't use the torture indiscriminately. Li Dongsheng still sticks to his principles.
"What about the evidence? Came! Xiao Mu shouted to the onlookers.
As soon as the words fell, a silver light swept across and hit Lin Sheng's pen. In an instant, the pen was shattered, and Lin Sheng's hand should have been shaken, he quickly covered it, and the color of pain appeared on his face.
"This is ......" County Lieutenant Xiao had already stepped forward, but he still didn't stop the flying knife. He picked up the note inserted into the blade of the knife and unfolded it, "Blood fingerprints!" ”
"What bloody handprints?" Li Dongsheng looked dazed.
"Do you mean...... The suspect left bloody handprints at the scene? Wang Jiajia guessed.
Qin Yong clenched his fists: "Mingfu wait!" With that, he ran out.
"Hey, where have you been these days? Come to my house tomorrow for the New Year. Li Dongsheng said to Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu smiled: "No need, I still have something." ”
"What's going on with the New Year? All the government offices are going to have a holiday this afternoon, and even the major shops are starting to close, are you busy? ”
"You newlyweds, I'm going to join in the fun."
"Xian'er will definitely agree, you are my friend, how can we let you be alone."
"Ouch, let's talk about it tomorrow. What about the trial. ”
Li Dongsheng and Xiao Mu were talking, and all the people were talking and laughing quietly. Xu County Ling and Xiao County Lieutenant stretched out their heads and looked out, looking forward to Qin Yong's result. Lin Sheng sat upright, staring intently at the broken pen in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
After about a cup of tea, Qin Yong finally came back panting and hugged a bloody quilt: "Mingfu, this is the quilt that my mother covered that night." There are imprints here. ”
Xu Xianling shouted: "Come on, take his fingerprints." ”
"Yes." The two officials couldn't help but say, took the ink and white paper, and printed Shen Zhong's ten fingers one by one. In an instant, the white paper was dotted like blooming red plums.
Xu Xianling took the printed fingerprints and compared them with the marks on the quilt, and his face was overjoyed: "That's it, the fingerprints are the same." Please make your ......"
"Hey, so many people, looking for me again?" Xiao Mu tilted his face to the side, not interested in the slightest.
"I'll take a look!" Li Dongsheng grabbed it, studied it carefully for a moment, and his face was full of excitement: "That's right, the lines are all right." ”
Qin Yong also looked at it carefully, and the knife in his hand was already pointing towards Shen Zhong: "Did you cut my mother's tongue?" Why? ”
Li Dongsheng pressed his wrist: "Don't get excited! Isn't the Xu County Order being tried? ”
"Silence! In the court, no sharp blades are allowed! This official reads that you are a person who is sent to you, and he has already tolerated you, and you still draw a sword? Xu Xian Ling blamed, glanced at Xiao Mu, and smiled slightly: "Put it away, put it away!" ”
Qin Yong put away the knife and faced Shen Zhong, the anger in his eyes seemed to turn him to ashes.
Xu Xian Ling was shocked, pointed at Shen Zhong and said, "Now you should admit it." Did you hurt Zhu's family? Who instructed it? ”
Everyone was looking forward to it, but they saw that Shen Zhong suddenly fell to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, his face was black, and he didn't move after two convulsions.
A servant stepped forward to check it and replied, "Mingfu, he bit his tongue and committed suicide." ”
"What? He's dead? Xu Xianling was surprised, went to check it out in person, and didn't forget to wave to me: "Li Jianghu, come and see." ”
I stepped forward quickly and opened Shen Zhong's mouth, only to see a piece of blood inside. His tongue was not completely severed, but there was a finger-wide connection at the base of his tongue, but the severed part was sucked into the airway opening, and he suffocated to death.
I got up and replied, "He's dead." ”
"Good! The murderer has committed suicide in fear of crime, and everyone has dispersed. Scattered, let's get busy, tomorrow is the New Year! Xu Xian Ling waved his hand at the people, and everyone left one after another.
"Boss, it's okay, let's go." Fu Bo shouted to Li Dongsheng.
"Oh, you guys get busy, I've got something to do." Li Dongsheng didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
The four members of the Liu family did not move, they hesitated for a moment, smiled at Xu Xianling, and did not dare to speak.
Xu Xian Ling also knew what they meant, and said, "The suspect was caught by the Tianyan secret agent, and you just sent people here." Hey, forget it, for the New Year, take them down and reward them with a hundred dollars! ”
"Xie Ming Mansion!" The four of them were overjoyed and went with the officials to receive the reward.
I saw that Xiao Mu had no intention of leaving, so I gave Wang Jiajia a look and stayed.
Qin Yong watched as Shen Zhong was carried away by the officials with a dull expression, and finally slowly knelt down to Xiao Mu: "I beg the envoy to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and seek justice for my mother." ”
"Mastermind?" Lin Sheng handed the transcript to Xu County: "What does Qin mean by catching the head?" ”
"This Shen Zhong is likely to be a pseudonym. He may not even recognize Zhu Niangzi. Judging from the method of suicide he committed just now, he must be a professional killer. County Lieutenant Xiao analyzed.
What Lieutenant Xiao said was very true. Behind him, there should be a secret organization, and he should be just a pawn. I just closed the case deliberately, that is, for fear of causing panic among the people. Xu Xian Ling said, looking at Xiao Mu again to judge whether his decision was correct.
"Secret organization? Ming Fu is to say...... Do we still have fine works in Xiangzhou City? Lin Sheng asked, giving me a meaningful look.
I quickly lowered my head, and suddenly realized that it was not a smart move for me to stay.
"Finesse!" Li Dongsheng was interested: "Didn't Qin Cha find out a fine work not long ago?" How dare they make waves here? Last time, I deliberately wanted to blame Li Huichun, but this time I came to calculate me! Hey, Mu You, I said...... They're all here for you, are they? You have been uncertain and can't do anything to you, and Li Huichun and I are your friends, as soon as we have an accident, won't you show up? ”
Xiao Mu still smiled faintly: "There is this possibility, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to affect you." Let's go, invite you to dinner, and make amends to you! ”
"Make your ......," Qin Yong called.
"Anything else?"
"Oh, make you stay. This case ......" Xu Xianling was full of embarrassment, and Qin Yong was also looking forward to it.
"Don't worry, it's the fox that will always show its tail." Xiao Mu ignored Qin Yong, but came to Xu Xianling's side and smiled evilly: "Don't work too hard, for the New Year, spend more time at home with the lady, it's so cold, where can you sleep hot?" ”
Xu Xianling's face flushed, and he said "yes" again and again, and only when Xiao Mu and Li Dongsheng walked away did he come to his senses.
"Our Qincha is really raining in time!" County Lieutenant Xiao sighed: "Xiao suddenly had a bold idea just now, the appearance of this case is that someone wants to frame Li Dongsheng by hurting Zhu Niangzi, but in fact, it may be that he wants to be unfavorable to the Ming Mansion." ”
Xu Xianling was stunned: "Deal with me?" ”
"If Li Dongsheng hadn't been able to control himself just now, wouldn't he have almost hurt the Ming Mansion? Imagine, if the Xiangzhou city and county order is ...... was killed, and the murderer was a friend of Chin Cha. How should the Chin Cha decide? ”
"The crime of the lower official deserves death, and when he saw that Li Dongsheng dared to be unfavorable to the Ming Mansion, he was in a hurry and almost ordered someone to release an arrow. Thinking about it at this moment, if he angers Li Dongsheng, I'm afraid that if he is excited, maybe he will really do it. Lin Sheng looked suddenly enlightened, patted his chest and regretted it.
"Hey, knowing that you are also anxious and concerned about me, how can I blame you." Xu Xianling patted him on the shoulder with a smile and turned his head to look at me: "It's just that I don't know how deep this Li Dongsheng has with Qin Cha, he actually dares to call Qin Cha's name." ”
I had to tell what I got from Li Huichun about Li Dongsheng's life experience, but I didn't mention that his father may have dissuaded the saint from ascending the throne and suddenly "died of illness", only that the rebels entered Chang'an, and their family was separated when they fled.
