On the ground, a few drops of bright red blood were scattered on the ground, like a clue leading the detective, extending towards the distance of the road.
However, for some reason, this little blood stain only lasted a few tens of meters and then stopped abruptly.
It's been more than a day since Qi Zhen left here, and it's hard to imagine why the bloodstains here are still so clear.
God was very kind to Ma San'er. The weather had been gloomy for two days, and the rain or snow did not fall in the end. And because he got such a major clue at Xiong's house, he finally remembered to pay attention to whether there might be anything around him. Some clues.
"Look." Ma San'er pointed to the ground, "This time there are both witnesses and material evidence. Let me see how you still want to quibble!"
Xiong Wen's wife followed Ma San's hand and turned even paler.
"Hmph! Let's go!"
Ma San'er slapped Xiong Wen's wife on the butt from behind and grabbed it hard. The soft touch made him intoxicated.
Xiong Wen's wife didn't notice anything and walked towards the Yamen like a zombie.
Not far away from the two of them, Xiong Wu hid his figure in the shadows and had a panoramic view of the scene.
His body trembled uncontrollably due to fear and anger, and the hands hanging by his side clenched and unclenched, unclenched and clenched again.
He looked at his sister-in-law who was gradually disappearing from sight, then looked at the quiet home as if nothing had happened, took two deep breaths, turned around and left.
Liu Biao was in charge of the governor's office today. He and his most powerful confidant, Kuai Liang, were discussing strategies to appease Changsha County.
Now that Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, had just been executed, the people of Changsha County and the remaining civil servants had to come up with a solution.
If not, then Changsha will always be an unstable factor in Jingzhou. After seizing its position with the power of thunder, it will always start to slowly try to appease its heart.
He did not just come up with this matter temporarily, but had been planning it for a long time. This time he and Kuai Liang discussed the countermeasures and just finalized the details.
At this moment, a servant came outside the door to report that the key criminal who had been kidnapped two days ago was finally found.
Both of their faces showed expressions of surprise at the same time, and Kuai Liang hurriedly said: "Let him in quickly!"
Kuai Liang was Liu Biao's chief clerk. He was praised by Liu Biao as the master of Yong Ji's theory, and he was also a very smart man.
Soon, Ma Saner brought Xiong Wen's wife into the hall.
Ma San'er had met Liu Biao several times before. With his level, it would be extremely difficult to say a word to Liu Biao.
Comparing the relationship between two people is probably the same as the difficulty of a police officer in charge of a certain traffic detachment trying to chat with the secretary of the provincial party committee.
Ma San'er saluted the two of them flatteringly, without even daring to raise his head, and said, "The little man Ma San'er is the yamen patrolling the streets in the west of the city."
"Oh, then this is..." Kuai Liang asked.
"Ms. Liao, a civilian girl, has met two adults."
Xiong Wen’s wife’s original surname was Liao.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Kuai Liang asked next.
Ma Saner first wrote a book about his glorious image, which was nothing more than clues about how he worked hard and how he found out. Then he added more details and said that after careful investigation, he found clues about blood stains outside Xiong's house. So much.
Liu Biao and Kuai Liang listened quietly and did not interrupt Ma San'er's boasting.
"Liao
Shi, is he right? "
After Ma San'er finished speaking, Kuai Liang turned to Xiong Wen and asked about his wife.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Mrs. Liao said nothing.
What she thought was actually very simple. Since her child had exposed the information that the two people had been there, it was naturally difficult for her to deny it. However, she thought that the original purpose of the adults who came to the Yamen should be to find those two people, and this matter was her fault. If you don’t know anything at all, then it’s better not to speak than to speak.
The more you speak, the more you are likely to expose.
Ma San'er looked stern, raised his foot and kicked Liao's leg, knocking her to her knees in an instant.
"Tell me the truth, otherwise the lives of your whole family will be in danger!"
Tears fell from Xiong Wen's wife. She sobbed and replied: "The folk girl really doesn't know the whereabouts of those two people. They only stayed for one night and then left."
At this time, Kuai Liang did not shy away from the two of them, and said to Liu Biao openly: "Sir, you know the layout of the prison doors in the city. I'm afraid there is no insider inside, and it will be difficult for the criminals to knock in the heavy door." The prison door, plus the fact that the two people entered Xiong Wen's home after leaving the prison, the Xiong family is afraid that it is difficult to escape from this matter. Even if what Liao said is true, it is better to call Xiong Wen. If you torture me severely, I think you will gain something."
After all, she was a prostitute. Mrs. Liao didn't expect that the other party could figure this out. She felt like she had lost her soul and stayed in place.
Liu Biao nodded and said, "I'm afraid there are some inaccuracies in what this woman said. I think it would be useful to question her."
"Your name is Ma San, right?" Kuai Liang looked at Ma San'er and said, "Since you are familiar with his family, I will leave this matter to you. If you do it well, you will be given the job. If you can't do it, I will give you a job." good……"
"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely find out the whereabouts of the two thieves and live up to your trust," Ma San'er said flatteringly.
"Go down, quickly!" Kuai Liang ordered.
Ma San'er nodded and bowed and led Liao away to the prison of Jingzhou Mansion. Liu Biao and Kuai Liang looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
"Sure enough, you are right. With such a seriously injured person, they will not leave Jingzhou immediately." Liu Biao said.
"As long as they are still in the city, they cannot escape from our grasp." Kuai Liang said with a smile.
"Where is Cai Mao now?" Liu Biao suddenly asked.
"I guess they are heading back with their army now. They should arrive in the next few days." Kuai Liang replied.
"Haha, when the time comes, I, Jingzhou, will be the same, and I will finally have the qualifications to compete in the world." Liu Biao said with a smile.
"So that person must be found. As long as we can pry his mouth open, why worry about the big deal?" Kuai Liang agreed.
On Liu Biao's desk, there was a bright piece of silk with three large characters written neatly on it.
It was Liang Sicheng.
Ma Saner took Liao into the door of Jingzhou Prison.
This was her first time entering a place where her husband was working as an errand, but she never expected that she would be in this capacity.
In the execution room of the prison, Xiong Wen was already tied to a rack. It seemed that he had just been brought here and had not yet been executed.
Seeing his wife, Xiong Wen's tears could no longer be suppressed and burst into tears.
"Why are you here?"
Xiong Wen didn't know the whole story and thought his wife was visiting the prison.
"Your wife is harboring prisoners. Isn't she just here to keep you company?"
? "Ma San'er sneered.
"ah?"
Xiong Wen was stunned.
Ma San'er urged the soldiers to tie Mr. Liao to the wooden frame as well, and said with a sly smile: "Your family seems to be well-behaved, but I didn't expect that all of them are so bold. If you don't reveal the whereabouts of those two people today, I'm afraid It’s hard to walk out of this prison alive, tsk tsk tsk, what a pity.”
"Brother Ma, you and I are neighbors, why are you so aggressive? I really don't know how those two robbed the prisoner and left here!" Xiong Wen cried.
"Don't know? If you don't know, then I will be offended today."
Ma San walked up to the ashen-faced Liao, stretched out his hand to caress her face, but kept looking at Xiong Wen on the other side.
"You are such a coward that you can marry such a beautiful lady. I really envy you."
As he spoke, his hand slowly stroked downwards from Liao's face, passed through her white neck, and came to her chest.
"Tsk, tsk." Ma San'er raised his other hand, grabbed the two lumps of flesh on Liao's chest up and down, and said with a lewd smile: "I never noticed it before, Mrs. Sister-in-law is so majestic, she is so desirable. very."
"Fuck your ancestor, Ma San'er! Come at me if you can!" Xiong Wen cursed angrily with his eyes splitting.
"Okay, I'm coming for you." Ma San'er nodded, "Gag his mouth and beat him!"
A soldier stuffed a dirty cloth into Xiong Wen's mouth, picked up a whip dipped in salt water, and began to beat Xiong Wen's slightly thin body.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Ma San'er's men did not stop molesting him, and said softly to Mr. Liao: "It would be a pity to have such a pretty little face broken. Don't worry, Brother Ma will take good care of you."
Xiong Wen's wife had already burst into tears: "Brother Ma, please let us go, we really don't know."
"There's no rush, we have plenty of time." Ma San'er said with a ferocious smile, and his men became a little more powerful.
Xiong Wen had never been tortured since he was a child, and he was certainly not a tough guy. The severe pain made it difficult for him to stop screaming because of the pain even though his mouth was covered with dirty cloth.
It's just that ahhhh turned into ooohhh.
"ah!"
Suddenly, several screams came from outside the execution room, which shocked Ma Saner.
"Go and see what's happening outside." Ma San said to the execution soldiers, and his men stopped moving.
The soldier quickly turned around and walked out the door.
Time passed like this, but the soldier who went out never came back.
However, the screams continued, getting louder and louder, and getting closer to the torture chamber.
There was a hint of panic on Ma San'er's face. He didn't understand what was happening outside. Could someone be robbing the prison again? Why do things like this happen one after another?
There was still some distance from the prison door to the outside of the execution room, and at this time, the place was filled with soldiers following the sound.
Someone has already gone to the governor's house to report what happened here.
However, that would take time, and ordinary soldiers like them could not stop the monster's advance.
Yes, monster.
The unknown thing was covered in black armor, with no expression on its face.
All the soldiers standing in front of him are not his enemies.
If you touch it, you will die!
