Song Ling was a little annoyed in his heart, he lost Li Xiaoer, so didn't he follow him all morning in vain? The matter between that man and Li Xiaoer, now I really don't know about it, and I don't know about ghosts.

Just when Song Ling was annoyed, she unconsciously turned into a small road, and found Li Xiaoer killed and thrown inside in a drainage ditch.

When Song Ling saw this scene, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart, and he hurriedly stepped forward to check that Li Xiaoer had a total of two knife wounds on his body, one on the neck artery, and the other on the back of his heart.

These two knife wounds were obviously from behind, it seems that his guess is very right, that man really killed Li Xiaoer so quickly.

Song Ling looked at Li Xiaoer's corpse, more or less blaming herself, she didn't expect this kind of thing to happen right under her nose.

If he could have reminded Li Xiaoer quickly, instead of hiding his selfish intentions, wouldn't he have been able to avoid the murder?

However, the incident has happened, and Song Ling will not regret it, thinking about it, he has done his best, and Li Xiaoer is also to blame.

Song Ling looked around, there was still a long distance from the official yamen, if he went to report to the official mansion now, when he came back, Li Xiaoer's clues would definitely be gone.

Why don't you take a look for yourself first, can you find some clues, and then ask someone from the government to collect the body?

Thinking like this, Song Ling felt that it was completely feasible, and then endured the stench and pulled Li Xiaoer out of the ditch.

Although Song Ling is not the kind of delicate and weak woman, she still has a hard time pulling out a man.

Song Ling looked at the corpse in front of him, although he had not been dead for a long time, this stinky ditch had a foul smell all year round, and Li Xiaoer was covered with that smell, presumably that man should want to use the stinky ditch to make Li Xiaoer rot quickly.

A person who was alive one second ago, but died in front of him the next, this feeling, Song Ling has experienced too many times.

Although it has become numb, it is still a little difficult to accept it when I see it with my own eyes.

"What is this?"

Song Ling suddenly found a delicate money bag from Li Xiaoer, and the needlework was made of the most famous Suzhou craftsmanship, which had always been bought by rich sons or princes and nobles.

A slim lotus flower, standing alone and arrogantly in a pool, every stitch and thread is meticulous and lifelike, Song Ling was also forced to learn a female worker for a while, thinking about it, it was really torture.

With a glance, although this money bag is stained with blood, it is not a new thing, but this is definitely not something that a shopkeeper like Li Xiaoer will have.

Song Ling casually pulled it and opened the money bag very easily, but there was nothing in it.

Is there nothing in the first place? Or did someone take it away?

Song Ling had a faint guess in his heart, thinking that there would always be some clues left, and then Song Ling carefully searched around.

Song Ling searched around the neighborhood a few times, picked up a branch and picked it up a few times in the stinky ditch, and sure enough, there was no evidence, and there was a lot of chicken feathers in the water.

Since there is nothing but this purse, then Song Ling can only start from this purse.

Thinking of this, Song Ling put away his purse and pulled Li Xiaoer's body to the corner, and then walked towards the official mansion.

.........

"Lord Prefect, Lord Prefect!" shouted the official as he ran.

"What's wrong? The prefect hasn't come out yet, and I'm waiting. If there is something urgent, can you tell me about it first?" Song Ling came to the official mansion without even having time to change his clothes, who knew that the prefect had not yet come, so Song Ling had no choice but to wait.

The prefect didn't wait, but waited for a jailer, looking at the jailer's panicked appearance, needless to say that Song Ling could guess that there should be something important.

"Miss Song, I'm here to inform the prefect, the murderer Wang Ergou, to confess and confess. The official was extremely excited, and he couldn't wait to tell Song Ling the good news.

"What? confessed?" That Wang Ergou had been shouting injustice before, but he refused to confess, and he hadn't found a clue to convict him on his side, so why did he suddenly confess at this time? Song Ling vaguely felt something different in his heart.

"You won't torture him to extract a confession, will you?" Song Ling looked at the jailer with a cold face, the trick of extorting a confession by torture is the favorite trick used by the jailers.

"No, Miss Song, you are too worried, the prefect specially instructed that lynching should not be used indiscriminately. The official looked at Song Ling's eyes, sweating like rain on his head, full of assurance.

At this time, the prefect also hurried over, Song Ling bowed to the prefect very officially, and then said calmly: "My lord, Li Xiaoer is dead."

"What? Another one died? Or a witness?" The prefect was full of consternation, and originally planned to summon Li Xiaoer, go to the cell to interrogate Wang Ergou together, and force him to say his accomplices.

After all, today, the lady of the Ankang Marquis Mansion came to make trouble again, and he insisted that the prefect deal with the murderer quickly, the emperor's relatives and relatives, and he really didn't dare to offend a prefect.

I never thought that this situation would occur all of a sudden, as soon as Li Xiaoyi died, there would be no clear witnesses.

If Wang Ergou does not admit guilt, I am afraid that the case will reach an impasse again.

Song Ling looked at the prefect's sad expression, and naturally understood what it was for.

"What are you doing here?" the prefect raised his eyes and saw the jailer, his face was not very happy, he was at a loss at this moment, this jailer was not good looking at the cell, and he didn't know what bad news to bring.

"My lord, that prisoner, Wang Ergou, has already pleaded guilty. He confessed to the murder of the eldest son of the Ankang Hou Mansion!" The jailer said, with a hint of joy in his eyes, and finally said a good news after more than ten years.

This can't be blamed on the jailers in the cell, the main reason is that the law in Xijing is not the same as others, if you confess your guilt in the cell, you will have to be confiscated.

If it is in the court, it will only be lightly dismissed.

"My lord, I think this matter is very strange, I want to meet Wang Ergou alone. Song Ling frowned and said, as soon as Li Xiaoer died, Wang Ergou pleaded guilty, this Wang Ergou suddenly changed so quickly, people couldn't help but be suspicious.

Although the environment in the cell is not good, the prefect has already said that Wang Ergou has not been subject to any criminal law, so how can he immediately confess his guilt after being locked up for a while? There is definitely a problem here.

The most important thing is that above the court, Wang Ergou does not admit his guilt, but now he does not admit himself?
