afternoon.
A strange scene occurred in the Yanping County government office. People in twos and threes could be seen everywhere, whispering. They were all discussing the murder that had just occurred in the Wei Mansion.
The focus of their discussion was not the bizarreness of the case, but the young detective who used unconventional means to solve the case.
"Wow, you didn't see it," one of the government officials who was lucky enough to witness the process of solving the case said, "Xu Zhen just kissed her and pulled out the little maid!"
"No way? Is it a real kiss? How did you kiss?"
"Then there's still time to go. I've kissed several times. This boy is really a lucky man. You know, those little maids are so handsome and their buttocks are very strong! Oh, I want to It would be nice to have this ability..."
…
"Hey, you haven't seen it, but my hair is all fried," on the other side, a detective told his colleagues with joy, "I feel a chill on my back, that's scary!"
"Really?" other detectives asked, "Can that kid really exorcise ghosts and channel spirits? Isn't this too weird?"
"I didn't squeeze in at the time, but all the big men saw it," the detective clapped his hands and said, "The daughter of Wei Yulang was originally a corpse, but when Xu Zhen summoned her, she actually spoke and told the whole truth. Gave it to Wei Yulang..."
"Really?" Others were dumbfounded, "Xu Zhen can still summon spirits? Why didn't you see it before?"
"No," the detective said excitedly, "I saw this with my own eyes. I didn't expect that the real culprit was the baby mother of Wei Yulang's daughter! She is also from the Western Regions, and she is so beautiful..."
…
Looking at these whispering people, Chen Tiefeng shook his head, turned around and walked into the inner hall, closing the door behind him.
There was no one else in the inner hall, only two county magistrates and the head catcher Cheng Xiao.
"Master Song, we have arranged everything you asked," Cheng Xiao reported to Song Zhili. "We have also investigated all the things Xu Zhen said!"
"Oh?" Song Zhili asked hurriedly, "How is it? Is it true?"
"Well," Cheng Xiao nodded, "we asked several of Qiu Batian's servants through our connections. Indeed, Qiu Batian had been with the two singing girls from the Jiaofang Division on the night of the incident. It was impossible to kidnap anyone else. A woman. It is even more nonsense to say that a woman is left in a busy city."
"Yes, sir," Chen Tiefeng agreed, "Qiu Batian's carriage had been parked at Zuixianju that morning and had not been moved at all. It could not have been done by them."
"Hmm...but..." Song Zhili pondered, "If a case is actually opened for trial, the confessions of these people will be completely ineffective, right?"
"Indeed," Chen Houlu said, stroking his beard, "They are all Qiu Batian's servants, so naturally they are facing their master, and their confessions have no effect in court.
"I'm afraid that the mysterious murderer set up the trap just because of this, right?"
"Those two singing girls..." Song Zhili thought of something and immediately asked as a reminder.
"Even if their confessions are valid, they are not convincing," Chen Houlu shook his head, "As we said before, even if Qiu Batian slept with two geishas that night, it did not prevent him from kidnapping and raping other women.
"Master Song," Chen Houlu said, "Old man Li and his daughter are dead. This is called death without evidence. Whoever wins will see which side of the lawsuit is stronger!"
"Hmm..." Song Zhili thought about it and asked Cheng Xiao, "So... where is the body of Old Man Li's daughter?"
"Sir," Cheng Xiao replied hurriedly, "This has been confirmed. The one burned by the fire was indeed a highly decomposed corpse. It must have been dead for a long time!"
"Yes," Chen Tiefeng agreed, "There are areas on the clothes that have not been burned clean. If you look closely, it is clearly a shroud. It may not necessarily be from which grave it was dug out."
"Oh?" Song Zhili asked, "Where is this body now?"
"It stinks so much," Cheng Xiao said, "We found a hidden place to bury it. Anyway, this thing is useless. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to take it to Yizhuang!"
"Yes, you did the right thing." Song Zhili nodded, "Now that things have happened, we can't let others know that the one who was burned to death was not Old Man Li's daughter."
"Then..." Chen Houlu thought of something and asked, "Have you found out about Old Man Li's poisoning?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao and the other two shook their heads helplessly.
"They have already been tortured, and the two jailers refused to say anything," Cheng Xiao said, "We plan to check the interpersonal relationship between the two of them before talking about it."
"Well," Song Zhili nodded first, then sighed, "Well, I feel like we will have to make a major decision soon!"
Song Zhili's so-called important decision naturally refers to the arrest of Qiu Batian, which reminds Cheng Xiao to make preparations as soon as possible.
"By the way, sir," Cheng Xiao thought of something and asked, "I just heard that something happened in Wei Yulang's house? Why did I hear so many people talking about Xu Zhen when I came in just now? Xu Zhen...what happened? ?”
"Huh?" After hearing this, Song Zhili quickly looked at Chen Houlu and asked, "Where is Master Xu?"
"Yeah," Chen Houlu spread his hands, "I didn't pay attention either. Where did he go?"
…
Wing On Street.
After noon, the market here is no longer busy.
Many stalls have been closed and there are few pedestrians.
At this moment, Xu Zhen was sitting on the steps under the archway, staring at the deserted street in a daze.
Although he was here now to investigate Qiu Batian's case, what he was thinking about was still what happened in the Wei Mansion.
No wonder Wei Yulang was listed as the top of the four evildoers in Yanping County. He looked so polite, but he was so extreme and cruel in his heart.
From this point of view, he had no feelings for Mrs. Wei, but only used Mrs. Wei as a tool for his revenge.
However, there is cause and effect, and it is precisely because of his excessive indulgence that he loses his fertility and is unable to fulfill his wish to have a son.
Now that I have suffered the pain of losing my daughter again, I think I have received my retribution! ?
When I think about it, Mrs. Wei is quite pitiful. Her country is gone and her family is gone. Only today did she realize that the person who caused the destruction of her country and family was none other than her husband.
This kind of blow was too hurtful, and now he has become a prisoner of murder. I wonder what will happen to this former Princess Rama?
Of course, the maid Sang'er was also pitiful. She obviously worked very hard to live, but she was burdened by her family. In the end, she was taken advantage of and lost her life.
It was precisely because of his empathy that Xu Zhen asked Wei Yulang to fulfill the promise Mrs. Wei made to Sonny.
As long as Wei Yulang compensates Son'er's family, at least the child will not die in such an unworthy death.
In fact, Xu Zhen knew in his heart that if he had forced Wei Yulang to pay off the debts of Wansheng Casino for him, Wei Yulang would probably not refuse.
As long as he says a word, it is very likely that he will live a debt-free life.
However, Xu Zhen would not do that, and it was impossible to do that.
First of all, he didn't want to be associated with people like Wei Yulang.
Secondly, he wants to use his own method to solve the debt problem. Because Cui Xiaotian, a bully, also made him unhappy.
Xu Zhen knows that his power is very limited and he cannot change this unfair world by himself, but it can still be done to eradicate these bullies who are causing harm to the world, right?
