The reason is simple, no one wants to gamble their entire family's lives for the sake of business.

Only when it is about his life and death can he take risks.

"There is another question," Lao Liu looked at Liu Meng fixedly, and asked in a deep voice: "On the first day of the new year, did the people who were the judge ask you to record a confession?" ”

"Recorded." Liu Meng said without thinking: "It was recorded by Vice Envoy Feng himself." ”

"You told him that someone called your name and asked Liu if he had gone home?" The sixth asked.

"Anyway, at that time, I really expected them to find out the cause of my uncle's death, there must be something to say." Liu Meng's eyes widened.

The sixth and his uncle glanced at each other, and they both showed excitement.

The latter then asked: "As a rule, after the confession is recorded, the interrogator and the scribe are to sign and draw the pledge, and finally let you press your fingerprint. Did you see them sign before you pressed your mudras? ”

"I've signed it, and I've seen them put my confession in the box and file it." Liu Meng is usually responsible for helping Liu Lian collect official documents, classify and keep them, so he is naturally very knowledgeable.

"Is there any other person in that box?" Hu Quan asked.

"Yes, I'm the last. They first asked the people who were in Cao's political family at the time, and then they remembered to ask me. Liu Meng said: "When I looked at my share and put it in, it was a thick stack underneath. ”

"But only your confession is gone, and the rest are there." The sixth said lightly. That day, he also asked Zeng Tai to go to the cabinet library, checked the bottom, and found that there was no confession from Liu Meng in the original file.

And the most nonsense thing is that in the 'case questioning note' written by Deputy Envoy Feng, it is clearly written that a total of 36 relevant people will be questioned. It exactly matches the number of confessions in the file!

"There's something wrong with the surname Feng." Hu Quan said in a deep voice: "I guess he also saw the problem from Liu Meng's confession, and he couldn't smear or tamper with it, so he simply smoked it." ”

Normally, there would be no problem with this, because Liu Meng was not a key witness, but was just a routine interrogation. And he is not at the scene of the crime, as long as no one hears his words and hears clues from them, the surname Feng will not be exposed.

But he is really stupid, even if he doesn't know the prestige of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he should know what Liu Lian's father is called. How could these two ancestors let him get away with it?

~~

The second senior brother knew no more things than the sixth brother, and after exchanging information, the sixth asked Liu Kong to take them to the wall adjacent to Cao Shenzheng's house.

The sixth saw that the height was okay, so he refused the ladder and climbed it with his hands and feet.

His uncle led people to guard below with a nervous expression, lest His Highness, who was clumsy, stumble and fall.

Fortunately, although the panda is stupid, it is still very stable in climbing trees. The sixth child climbed over the wall without danger and landed in the empty house of Cao Shenzheng.

Hu Quan and the others also hurriedly followed and brought Liu Kong over.

Zhu Zhen asked Liu Kong to lead him, turned around the scene, and found that it was indeed as Zeng Tai said, the location of the well was far away from the passage between the thatched house and the flower hall, and there was a door in the middle.

An old-fashioned gentleman like Senior Brother, even if he is drunk, he will never push the door of someone else's house and go around.

In addition, the passage between the thatched house and the flower hall is a covered corridor, and it is connected directly, so there is no possibility of getting lost at all.

"Somebody must have lured him here." His uncle said in a deep voice.

Zhu Zhen nodded, and the two pushed open the courtyard door again, and turned around to the well located in the northeast corner of the courtyard.

Standing by the well and looking around, I saw the courtyard wall and trees, which covered this place tightly, and I really didn't have to be afraid of being seen when I started.

"There's a problem." His uncle frowned, pointed to the well, which was not much bigger than the mouth of the basin, and said, "Such a small wellhead is just enough to go down to someone, like you...... The second uncle's kind of big shoulders and round waist may have to be stuck. ”

"Indeed." Lao Liu nodded, the wells in Jiangnan houses are generally small wellheads, one of the reasons is that it is not easy to fall into people, and it is relatively safe.

"With such a small wellhead, if you want to push my senior brother in, how clever can it be?"

"The corpse said that he had no external injuries other than abrasions, so he was not knocked unconscious first and then thrown down." Hu Quan analyzed in a deep voice: "This matter cannot be done by one person. ”

As he spoke, he raised two fingers and said, "At least two people." One controlled his upper body and covered his mouth; One hugged his legs, then planted the onion upside down and shoved the person in. ”

After speaking, Hu Quan also asked people to demonstrate on the spot. Indeed, as long as the victim spreads his legs, he cannot be stuffed into the well at all. Holding his legs, his hands were free, and he could rest on the edge of the well, just as helpless.

Not to mention that the victim still has a mouth to shout at...... These officials in the yamen are not very big, and they enter the courtyard three times in front and back, and they shout at the top of their throats, and even the neighbors can hear them.

Therefore, at least two people have to work together to silently stuff Liu Lian into the well. This is also the reason why Shen Liben believes that Xiong Qitai is not telling the truth...... One bite to kill a murderer is simply an insult to the IQ of Lord Chincha.

It's a pity that this is the way things are in this world, sometimes you know that the other party is insulting your IQ, and you have to wipe his ass for him.

~~

Either way, it's a good thing. If the murderer becomes two, the chances of finding him will naturally increase.

"So, the two murderers were among the thirty-six who recorded the confession." The sixth speculated.

"It's hard to say that." His uncle has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and slowly shook his head and said: "In the past, there were often gangsters who took advantage of the host's family to hold red and white ceremonies, and there were many first-born faces in the family and chaotic people. They often leave without remembers their faces. ”

"Okay, but at least one of the thirty-six didn't run." The sixth man changed his words again: "It's the one who asked Liu Meng's words." ”

"Yes." The uncle nodded this time and said, "That person must be from the yamen, and he is familiar with Liu Shenzheng, otherwise he wouldn't be able to call Liu Meng's name." When he asked, it was already time to search for no results, and at that time everyone was alarmed, and if he disappeared rashly, it would only make people suspect him. ”

"Do you remember the person who asked you?" The object of Zhu Zhen's questioning this time was Liu Kong. At that time, when the man was questioned, he was in Cao Shenzheng's house.

"I can't remember." Liu Kong had been thinking about it for a long time, but he still shook his head helplessly and said, "At that time, it was all a mess here. I didn't hear it very clearly, but I vaguely heard that someone seemed to call Liu Meng's name. ”

"If you think about it again, tell me whatever comes to mind." The sixth child is not disappointed, and today's harvest has been great. It is not necessary to ask for full blame.

Then they went back over the wall the same way, and were about to leave with Liu Li, when suddenly there was a rumbling sound of slamming the door outside.

"Open the door, open the door!" Several rough roars rang out at the same time.
