At night, Huaxi, Lixing and Su Wu were all waiting in the lobby.

Since he found out that the snake demon might have to take revenge on them when he returned, he not only gave Xu Hao and Su Wu brothers a male yellow sachet, but also specially instructed them not to go far away, and to be sure to return before the unitary time.

Now, the time has come, it's okay, Huaxi, and Su Wu are all here, but Xu Hao has not seen anyone for a long time.

Su Wu couldn't sit still.

"I'm going out to find him. ”

There was a trace of malaise in the bottom of his heart, and he stopped Su Wu.

"Let's go, you two are waiting here, if Xu Gongzi comes back, you can also see people. ”

Huaxi echoed: "It's okay, senior brother can find it faster, the two of us are waiting here, Brother Xu Hao can't be left alone when he comes back to the house." ”

Su Wu listened to the persuasion and sat back in the chair.

When he was about to go out, he saw a group of military officers break into Xu's mansion, holding a sticker order, a torch, and carrying in something covered with a white cloth that I don't know what it is.

The person who came was menacing: "You're right?"

"Yes. ”

He replied, but saw that the menacing man turned his head and asked another person who was cowering and very timid.

"Is this the man?"

The man replied, with horror on his face: "Yes, yes! I saw it with my own eyes, and I will not be mistaken!"

Hearing this, the menacing man took out a token, identified himself, and said to the line: "I am a catcher in the vicinity, Xu Hao of the Xu family was killed today, and the existing witnesses are here, witness it with your own eyes, and please come with us." ”

The line was already unhappy, and when he heard this quick words, his eyes looked at the thing covered with a white cloth.

The white cloth was lifted, and sure enough, I saw Xu Hao's bruised face, looking at his face, he should have been dead for two or three hours.

His eyes were still open, as if he was unwilling and confused.

Leaned into Xu Hao's waist, and the sachet containing realgar was gone.

"I'm not a murderer. ”

After answering calmly, the eyes that looked at Xu Hao's corpse were full of remorse and guilt.

Now, he is extremely suspicious that the snake demon did it, if he had made this matter clear to Xu Hao earlier, showing the importance of this realgar sachet, would he not have lost the sachet and would not have had an accident?

After leaving, he went to Xu Hao's corpse to confirm whether it was the snake demon's doing.

"What do you want to do?

The catcher quickly opened the hand that was about to touch Xu Hao's corpse.

"Come on, press him, whether you killed him or not, let's go back, and we'll know in the first trial." ”

Several people held sticks and pressed down the line, but they couldn't resist.

He didn't kill the person, he was naturally fearless and had a clear conscience, but if he ran away now, and there were so-called eyewitnesses, he would be speechless, and he couldn't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River.

*

He stood calmly in the lobby, and did not kneel down to the people in the center of the main room.

"I'm not wrong, why do I kneel?"

The man slammed a wooden board on the table, "You killed Xu Hao, is it still wrong?"

The plain eyes looked at the somewhat powerful official.

"Today I stayed in Xu Mansion all day, with Xu Hao's brother Su Wu, in addition to this, there is also my junior brother Pingyi, if you don't believe it, just ask. ”

In the face of trumped-up charges, of course he did not admit it, in addition, he also had to prove justice for Xu Hao.

"I am a Taoist priest of Zhaohua Temple, when I first came down the mountain, Xu Gongzi took me in, I am grateful to Xu Gongzi, how can I have a motive to harm him? And there is no trace of his blood on my body. ”

He quietly turned his head and looked at the so-called eyewitness next to him.

His hair was unkempt, his eyes were still wide, and his eyes were full of horror.

Xing looked at him, and he looked at Xing.

"Murderer, you're a murderer!"

"Do I have it, is it so terrible?" Xing asked, and walked towards the man, and after taking a step, the man trembled all over, and immediately lay on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything. ”

At the same time, there was a faint smell in the hall, and many people hurriedly covered their noses.

It was the man who was frightened to pee.

Li Xing frowned: "This person is delirious now, and no one knows whether what he said is true." ”

First, there is an alibi, second, there is no motive for the killing, and third, what the eyewitnesses say may be untrue.

The judge of the trial was helpless, the evidence was insufficient and he couldn't catch Xing, and seeing Xing's calm and calm appearance, the official couldn't help but feel weak, so he could only let Xing go.

I went back to Xufu and saw Huaxi and Su Wu.

Huaxi looked at Xing with a heavy look and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Wu also hurriedly caught up: "Have you found my brother?"

He looked at Huaxi and then at Su Wu, with a sense of guilt in his eyes.

"When I went out, I met people from the yamen who came to arrest me, suspecting that I had killed Xu Gongzi. ”

"What!?"

Su Wu's pupils shrank dramatically, and he stumbled under his feet and almost couldn't stand on his feet.

Huaxi hurriedly supported Su Wu and asked, "What's going on?"

"I saw Xu Gongzi's corpse, there was a blood hole in his chest, and the yellow sachet on his body was missing. There was also an eyewitness who said that he saw me kill him. ”

"Later, because of lack of evidence, I was released. ”

"Su Gongzi... I'm sorry. ”

The voice of the line was slightly heavy.

Huaxi also had a stalk on his face, "Brother Su Wu..."

Su Wu seemed to be unable to stand up when he was supported by Huaxi, his whole body lost his strength, and his face was full of pathos.

He just went home, and he only got along with his brother for a few days, why is this... Gone?

He is a few years older than Xu Hao, when he was a child, his parents were busy with the court and couldn't manage Xu Hao, he was in charge, and the Lou Zi that Xu Hao stabbed was also his aftermath, and he watched Xu Hao grow up.

That kid has no heart and no lungs, and he is not in the heavy industry, but he knows that it is his good heart, no matter what he does, whether he spends his heart or drinks, it is all his favorite, habitual, and now suddenly there is such a person, even if it is as steel as him, how can he not be sad?

"Where's my brother's body?"

"I'm still on their suspicion, the body... I couldn't bring it back. ”

He turned his head and didn't dare to look at Su Wu.

Su Wu sat on the stool with his buttocks, clenched his fists with both hands, hammered his chest with one hand, and hammered on the wooden table with the other, making a "bang" sound.

One by one, it ingests people's hearts.

"Damn! Damn! I didn't take a good look at him, which made him killed. ”

Su Wu was extremely self-blaming in his heart, if he was by Xu Hao's side all the time, Xu Hao might not have an accident.

"Su Gongzi..."

Su Wu raised his hand: "I don't have to blame myself, I believe in the little master's character, this murderer of my brother!"

After speaking, there was still pathos in Su Wu's eyes, but it was covered by more anger.
