Xiao Tian sat on the chair and thought, but soon attracted his attention to the things in the yamen.

The scale of this patrol and arrest office is not large, and there is only one office room, where the case is reported and interrogated, and only when it is necessary to use torture can it be used. Although the room is quite spacious, Xiao Tian sits at the easternmost end of the room, and he can hear any movement in other positions.

Two horse thieves were caught today, one of whom was a repeat offender with a disheveled head. According to common sense, anyone who has done something bad and is caught will be ashamed, but he is different, and he actually took the initiative to talk to the officials.

"Hey, hello, since yesterday... On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we went and asked for a few horses, and then we took them to the square and sold them. "This guy actually took the initiative to confess the facts of the crime.

"What about the stolen money?" asked the officer.

"There's no money, it's lost, there's not a penny. He said, fiddling with his hair.

"You've been here more than once, and do you remember how many times you've committed crimes before?" asked the officer, distressed.

"From the first year of my double empty year to the present, a hundred... I have a thousand, and I don't want a horse under a thousand taels, you know?" the guy boasted.

Do you know what a horse looks like for a thousand taels and one horses? This bull is too big.

"What do you usually spend your money on?" asked him about his previous expenses.

"Go to the place where you sing, be happy, be happy, go play. He said happily.

Speaking of stealing, he was not ashamed, but proud, and also talked about crooked reasoning.

"If you don't have money, you must do it, if you don't do it, if you don't do it, you won't have the money. He said as a matter of course.

"Then you're not going to be a helper? The official persuaded him, hoping that he would change his ways.

"In terms of helpers, it is impossible for a helper to be a helper, and it is impossible to be a helper in this life. Also, if you don't do business, you can't do it, that is, you can only maintain your life by stealing this kind of thing. He shook his head.

As they themselves said, the reason for stealing horses is very simple, because they need money to gamble and listen to people's songs, and they only know how to have fun, and they don't want to work at all, so they will commit it again and again.

When it comes to the Yamen prison, what they say is even more bizarre.

"Going to the Yamen prison is like going home. He laughs.

"Then you often go to prison, don't you can't go home?" the official persuaded again.

"I go home one year, and I don't go back on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, just when something happens at home, I'll go back and see like this." The man said exaggeratedly, pointing to the sky.

"Then do you think your family is good, or it is better to be in the yamen prison. The official asked again, obviously wanting him to say that he was good at home, and then to influence him step by step.

"The feeling of being in the Yamen Prison is much better than the feeling of being at home. He said as he signed the pledge.

"Why?" asked the official in surprise.

"At home, it's boring to be alone at home, no friends to play, no friends to play. When they went inside, they were all talents, and they spoke nicely. Oops, I like it so much that it's like opening a compartment outside, so happy that it feels like that, and it flies. He was making exaggerated gestures as he spoke.

"Who are these arrests?" After Xiao Tianyu scolded a few words, he thought about closing the case quickly and not continuing to mess around.

So Xiaotian ran to see Lan Gao again, and decided that he had to ask something anyway.

"Brother Lan, do you remember anything now?" After Xiao Tian came, he still withdrew from others like last time and talked to Lan Gao alone.

"No, I didn't think of anything. Lan lowered his head and said without looking at Xiao Tiandi.

"Alas, Brother Lan actually remembered, right?" Xiao Tian said with a sigh, but the other party still didn't say a word, "It seems that Brother Lan is a little unspeakable, so you don't need to say what happened back then, just talk about who it is." ”

Anyway, after asking the other party, you should know who is right and who is wrong.

"I can't say that. Lagoon finally spoke.

"Ahh

What he said just now was considered to have admitted that he knew who it was, but he refused to say it, wasn't he because he had made a mistake, but simply wanted to cover up the other party?

"What does that person have to do with Brother Lan, Brother Lan is willing to shield him with grievances? But Brother Lan, the other party doesn't think so much about you, he killed your best friend and blamed you. Xiao Tian persuaded him.

"I... I owe him that's all I can do even if I die. Lagoon still refused to speak, looking like he was going home.

Anyway, he doesn't want to live, and this case has nothing to do with anyone else.

No, since I'm involved, at least there has to be a truth, and I won't feel good about closing the case in such a muddle.

"Brother Lan, you don't care about your own life, what will Zhang Siyuan's unjust soul do? How miserable he died, you saw it with your own eyes. With your friendship, could you let him die so inexplicably?" Xiao Tian made up his mind and continued to persuade.

"It's... Alas, it's all my fault. Lan Gao sighed and began to tell the story. "When I was young, I was wandering around the world, and my skills were useless. Later, fortunately, Brother Zhang recommended him to be a deputy envoy in the guard, and later the local area suffered from banditry, and Brother Zhang and many people in the city were arrested. I led people to rescue them, but the enemy divided the hostages, and I gave priority to rescuing Brother Zhang's family, but I alarmed the enemy and killed all the hostages elsewhere. ”

"Then the murderer this time..."Xiao Tian asked eagerly.

"It's probably the family of the hostages who weren't saved at that time, since Brother Zhang recognized the other party, it was probably a descendant of an official at that time. At that time, Brother Zhang was the magistrate of Changguang County, and was demoted to an official because of this matter, and then he was appreciated by Lord Xia and became an official here. I resigned from then on and followed Brother Zhang here. Lagoon continued.

"When was that?" asked Xiao Tian again.

"Nearly fifteen years ago, Brother Zhang's family at that time all died, and I didn't have a family at that time, so no one here knew about it. Lagoon explained.

"That's all there is to it?" Xiao Tian asked again uneasily.

"This is the only thing, and there will be no other people who Brother Zhang and I can offend together. Lagoon said confidently.

Although I don't understand why the murderer is so paranoid about seeking revenge on them, it is basically impossible to find the murderer with this clue. Even if it can be generally determined that the murderer is the descendant of some people, he will definitely not live in this capacity all these years, but as an immortal cultivator, his subsequent whereabouts cannot be found out at all.

After asking Lan Gao, Xiao Tian was even more depressed, but he was sure of at least one thing, that is, Lan Gao did not do much bad things in this case, and he should help find out.

But Xiaotian always felt that the other party didn't seem to have something to say.
