It's one thing to know, to understand, but at most to know in your heart that it's feasible and can be used as a basis.

But cognition and habits are another matter, for example, in modern times, DNA technology is a higher level than fingerprints, and when the court gradually accepts DNA technology, it will also take a process.

"Stop resisting, Mudra, understand? Mudras are unique to each person, otherwise they would not have been used as a document in documents and contracts thousands of years ago. Wei Bao said calmly: "Now that your handprint has been found on the bed of Zhao Laosi's house, are you still quibbling?" Does it make sense? If you can explain clearly why you went to Zhao Laosi's house and why you went to his bed, I will count you as a great talent! ”

Hou Lixing stopped talking, except for the flickering of his eyes, the whole person's mood can be regarded as calm, and the contrast with usual is not big.

This brought a certain amount of frustration to Wei Bao, and in Wei Bao's opinion, if he could get the 'ironclad evidence' of fingerprints, the suspect should not be stubborn anymore.

"Are you talking, dumb?" Wei Bao slapped the table.

"I won't say anything, unless I'm going to the hall of the Commander's Embassy, you're not a public court here! Don't think that if you surround the four nearby miles and make a Weijiazhuang that didn't exist in the first place, you will be able to be the emperor of the soil. The imperial court did not admit that there was any Weijiazhuang, and there was no such thing as Weijiazhuang in the yellow book of Shanhaiwei! You don't have the right to interrogate in private. Hou Lixing is calmer than Wei Bao, after all, he is in his forties, and he is at the peak of his prime and scheming. usually obeys Wei Bao, that is to appreciate Wei Bao's business talent, appreciate Wei Bao's cleverness, and expect Wei Bao to take him to make money, but once he finds out that Wei Bao wants to harm him, he is not afraid.

Wei Bao narrowed his eyes: "I am now in the preliminary trial on behalf of the Wei Command Envoy, and you were summoned before, all of whom were personally sent by Lord Wu Xiang Wu, didn't you see it?" Moreover, Lord Wu Xiang Wu is now in our Weijiazhuang, don't you know?"

"Then you can hand me over to Lord Wu! I just say it to Lord Wu! Hou Lixing said immediately.

"Hou Lixing, the Weijiazhuang Police Station is to maintain local law and order, when have you ever heard of the police station arresting people randomly? Now that there is conclusive evidence, it is the same wherever you are handed over and to whomever you are delivered! I'll present the evidence in my hand too! You are the common people of my Weijiazhuang, you explain to me, and I can also think of ways to reduce your guilt. "Wei Bao calmed down and tried not to let himself get angry, he knew that he should be even more competent when dealing with this kind of old fox with excellent psychological quality, this is still the rich man in the township, if he is replaced by an opponent like Wu Xiang, and replaced by a real court official as an opponent, is he worthy of fighting against others?" Explain it early and take the initiative early, it's all about it, don't be nervous, it's not interesting. ”

This time, Hou Lixing simply shut up, lowered his eyes, and didn't say a word, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

Wei Bao didn't seem to be impatient, and said with a smile: "Do you want to smoke?" You haven't seen this kind of smoke like me, have you? It tastes very good, do you want a good pot of tea? If you keep this attitude, I think you are afraid that you will sit here for ten or eight years, and if you want to smoke and drink tea in the future, I am afraid that you will not have a chance. ”

Hou Lixing swallowed his saliva, raised his head and looked at Wei Bao angrily: "You want to put me under house arrest?" ”

"Alas, don't talk nonsense, I have conclusive evidence of your crime in my hand, and you refuse to say anything, how can I put you under house arrest? As the largest landlord in the local area, I naturally have the responsibility to maintain local law and order, and you killed Zhao Laosi's father and son, causing an extremely bad impact, and with the evidence in my hands now, it is not too much to burn you! Wei Bao's voice gradually became cold, and power made Wei Bao excited, when he said this, he seemed to be a judge from the underworld, and the feeling of judging right and wrong was really good, thinking that once, as a fart in modern times, where would he have the opportunity to face Hou Lixing's identity and net worth? It is only right that you are trampled under the feet of people like them, let alone face it, even if you look up, you can't see the face of others.

"Wei Gongzi, I don't know Zhao Laosi, let alone Zhao Laosi's mother-in-law, really, what I said is the truth, someone must have framed me. As for where your handprint came from, I don't know, I was wronged, and I said it everywhere. Hou Lixing bit the stone and said: "If Wei Gongzi doesn't believe it, he can let the person who denounced me come, and I dare to confront him face to face." ”

Wei Bao frowned, he had never seen such a hard mouth, "Who are you invited?" I personally discovered the fingerprints, and here I am, and if someone accuses you, it's me, what are you going to confront against? I'm going to ask you now, you are a dignified Lizheng, and you are the Lizheng in Houmafang, and your family lives in Houmafang, why did you go to a poor man's house in Jinshanli? Why did you go to someone else's bed, I'll let you make this one clear, otherwise you are the murderer, how can you quibble? ”

Hou Lixing laughed, he actually laughed at this time, that smile was not only like self-deprecation, but also like a bitter smile, like a sneer, and like an unnatural embarrassing smile to cover up, this smile is very complicated.

"Wei Gongzi, I said, I don't know where your handprint came from, I have never heard of relying on handprints to judge cases, I think, someone must have framed me, if this handprint was made by your Wei Gongzi, then you Wei Gongzi wants to frame me Hou someone." Hou Lixing said: "I admire your Wei Gongzi's methods, if you want to steal my family property, I can hand over a part, just ask Wei Gongzi to let me move my family to other places, I can't afford to provoke and hide?" I just ask Gongzi Wei not to kill them all, just leave a way for my wife and children to live. ”

Wei Bao was furious, the roots of his teeth ached faintly, he had never seen such a powerful guy, at this time, he could still beat a rake: "Tell you, Zhao Laosi's family is not just your handprint, you are fierce enough in other people's beds!" Regardless of whether or not fingerprints have been used to judge cases, I can tell you that since you can understand what fingerprints are for, others can also understand them, but it is not the handprints left by me pressing your hand in Zhao Laosi's house! If you continue to resist like this, the gods will not be able to save you. ”

"Wei Gongzi, don't force me anymore, I've already said what I should say, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, 3000 taels of bank can't work? I don't want the shares of the Tiandi firm, I will give them to Wei Gongzi, and I will give an additional 3,000 taels of silver, this is all done, right? Even if it makes trouble for the Wei Commander and Envoy, he definitely doesn't want such a big price. Hou Lixing has the strength to say.

Wei Bao was also speechless, he knew that at this time, the corruption of officials, corruption from top to bottom had corrupted the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and the corruption was pervasive, and the tree of the Ming Dynasty had been hollowed.

Wei Bao knew that Hou Lixing was right, the yamen had a price, and he wanted to buy his life, especially if he was just a rich man in the township, 3,000 taels of silver was already a high price, it was indeed enough, if he didn't have conclusive evidence and was the biggest rich man in Weijiazhuang, he would not bow his head to himself.

If Wei Bao is a person who does not follow the right path, just wants to make money, and only has fame, fortune and wealth in his eyes, this price is acceptable.

But Wei Bao is not, Wei Bao now represents the interests of the people, represents the people, although he doesn't know Zhao Laosi father and son, but Wei Bao wants to get justice for Zhao Laosi and his son who died tragically in the barren beach, get back a result, and bring the murderer to justice!

"Let's not talk about these first, you will first tell me the whole process of committing the crime, and in addition, tell me what happened to Zhao Laosi's daughter-in-law now? Only by finding Zhao Laosi's daughter-in-law and revealing the truth can the local people feel at ease. Wei Bao said.

"Wei Gongzi, 3,000 taels of silver, plus my shares of a few thousand taels of silver in the Heaven and Earth firm, isn't that enough? What more truth do you want? Do you want to kill them all? Hou Lixing had already relented, and at this time he stared at Wei Bao with angry eyes again.

"Don't mention the silver first, I just want to know the truth, so you treat me as a friend, tell me!" Wei Bao said to Wang Qiuya and Wei Zhongba: "You two go out first and close the door." ”

Wei Zhongba and Wang Qiuya said that they went out after saying that they closed the door to death.

Wei Bao said: "There are no outsiders now, Lao Hou, let's talk about it." ”

"Master Wei, what are you going to do? What else do you want me to say? Hou Lixing said angrily: "Bai Pengfu son killed people on the street, 500 taels of silver will be settled, I will now give 3,000 taels of silver, plus my shares of thousands of taels of silver in the Tiandi firm, isn't this enough?" What else do you want me to say? I have nothing to say! ”

Wei Bao originally induced a confession and wanted to lure Hou Lixing to tell him in private, but this guy seemed to be very vigilant and refused to admit the murder.

Wei Bao was really angry in his heart, if you want to uphold justice in this era, it is really more difficult than in modern times, without enough power, no one can do it, including Hou Lixing, a rich man in the township.

Based on fingerprints alone, Wei Bao didn't think that when he arrived at the hall of the Wei Command Envoy, others would believe his words and judge Hou Lixing guilty, not to mention, if Hou Lixing had used the bribe he had just promised him to others, the other party would have accepted it.

Hou Lixing also has no choice, he knows that Wei Bao is difficult, he knows that he is being targeted by Wei Bao, he knows that Wei Bao has decided that he has killed someone, and now he can only break his arm to survive, and now he only wants to be able to guarantee his life.

Seeing that Hou Lixing's attitude was so resolute, Wei Bao could only leave the interrogation room silently and close the door.

Wei Bao knew that it was of little significance to go on again, it was difficult for this Hou Lixing to come up with any useful words, even if it was torture, it was estimated that it would be enough.

"How? Your people interrogated the relevant people around Hou Lixing, and did they make any progress? Wei Bao asked Wei Zhongba: "The most important thing is to find the people who saw or participated in Hou Lixing's murder that day, and also to find out the whereabouts of Zhao Laosi's daughter-in-law." ”

Wei Zhongba shook his head and said: "There is no news for the time being, the president will go to rest first, maybe it will be in a while, as soon as there is news, I will report it immediately." ”

"Where can I sleep?" Wei Bao rubbed his eyes and temples that were sore because of lack of sleep in the past few days, yawned, but he was sleepy: "Hurry up!" In another three hours, the deadline was reached. ”

Wei Zhongba felt a lot of pressure and said yes.

At this time, Luo Guozhong, Luo Guoxiao, Lin Wenbiao and others all came back, and they received information that Wei Bao asked them to return after Wei Bao obtained their fingerprints, so they all came back at this time.

Wei Bao immediately explained: "You have all worked hard, but there is no time to rest now, the focus now is to make a breakthrough from the relevant people around Hou Lixing as soon as possible, the most important thing is to find the people who saw or participated in Hou Lixing's killing process that day, and also find out the whereabouts of Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law." You have a lot of experience, so first screen them all, pick out a few main suspects, and then ask you personally, and strive to break through as soon as possible. ”

The three of them nodded yes together.

Wei Bao was a little relieved now.

Then he hurried to invite Zhao Kehu out, and Zhao Kehu was still being held in the cell of the police station.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Kehu was very disgusted when he saw Wei Bao, he didn't sleep, stared at his godless eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and the whole person seemed to be a little old.

Wei Baobao smiled: "Thank you Uncle Zhao for your cooperation, your play is over." ”

"Acting?" Zhao Kehu looked at Wei Bao very strangely: "What kind of play?" ”

"Of course, how could I doubt Uncle Zhao? I'm just trying to figure out the real culprit. "Wei Bao lied. On the one hand, Wei Bao refused to admit that he had misjudged before, which would lose face. On the other hand, I don't want Zhao Kehu to hate himself, after all, I have to meet often, and it's not good to have such a big bump.

"What's going on?" Zhao Kehu was confused by Wei Bao.

Wei Bao's reaction was so fast, before he came to release Zhao Kehu in person, he thought of an excuse: "I already have evidence to prove that the real culprit is Hou Lixing, but I just used Zhao Bo as a pretense to let him relax his vigilance and leak flaws." ”

"Hou Lixing? Did Hou Lixing kill Zhao Laosi's father and son? Zhao Kehu was stunned by the news.

Wei Bao nodded: "There is already sufficient evidence that Hou Lixing must have done it!" ”

"What evidence do you have?" Zhao Kehu asked. Because of the amazing news that Hou Lixing was the murderer, Zhao Kehu forgot about his dislike with Wei Bao, no longer put on a face to Wei Bao, and the whole person also returned to a normal mental outlook.

"Let's go out first, come on, prepare for Uncle Zhao's washing, let's eat something first, and talk while having breakfast." Wei Bao smiled at Zhao Kehu.

Zhao Kehu was anxious to know what was going on, and kept urging Wei Bao to say it now.

Wei Bao then told him about getting fingerprints on the bed of Zhao Laosi's house.

Zhao Kehu slapped his thigh: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, I really didn't expect Hou Lixing to be so human-faced and beastly, sleeping with someone's daughter-in-law, and killing his father-in-law and son!" ”

Wei Bao sweated, and secretly wondered, didn't you also sleep with Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law? It's really sad for this Zhao Laosi, and I don't know what sins I created in my previous life, and my wife was slept with by so many people.

"Uncle Zhao, do you have any clues?" Wei Bao asked.

"There are no clues, but a few times Hou Lixing came to my house to drink, he asked Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law to serve beside me, I could already see that Hou Lixing's eyes were not right when he looked at Zhao's fourth daughter-in-law, and Hou Lixing also asked me about Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law in a roundabout way. Why didn't I think of it earlier? Zhao Kehu said.

"Don't blame Uncle Zhao, ordinary people are easily deceived by Hou Lixing's loyal and honest appearance." Wei Bao sincerely apologized again: "I just hope that Uncle Zhao won't blame me anymore." ”

"Forget it, forget it, what's the use of blaming you? I've lost all your face this time. Zhao Kehu sighed.

Wei Bao smiled: "When I interrogated you, there were only two people, me and my personal maid, and she would never say it, and no one would know." As for the person who denounced you is Zhao Xiaolian, I promise that she will not say half a word to the outside world, but it is best for her not to do anything in the Zhao family in the future, I will help her give 1,000 taels of silver, on the one hand, to redeem Zhao Xiaolian's family, on the other hand, to compensate Uncle Zhao and give Uncle Zhao a shock. ”

Zhao Kehu saw Wei Bao's thoughtful arrangement, and heard Wei Bao say that the matter between himself and Zhao's fourth daughter-in-law would not be leaked, and it would not affect his previous image, so he was a lot less angry, so he nodded.

After having breakfast with Zhao Kehu, Wei Bao asked Zhao Kehu to send him home, and then returned to the conference room by himself to close his eyes and recuperate.

Now that he had done all he could, there was no better way than to close his eyes and recuperate.

It didn't arrive until midnight.

Wei Bao's people were in full swing of interrogation, but Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfeng, Wu Sanfu, Wu Xuexia and others, who had already been in Weijiazhuang and were a little impatient, could only continue to wait like Wei Bao.

In the past few days, they did not stay in the guest house arranged by Wei Bao, but stayed at Zhao Kehu's house.

Zhao Kehu was taken away by Wei Bao's people last night, and he didn't make any movement, and several of them were sleeping peacefully, I don't know.

When I got up in the morning, I heard the report from the followers.

"Wei Bao actually asked people to call Zhao Kehu away in the middle of the night, this time I'm afraid that I really found any incriminating evidence, is Zhao Kehu a murderer?" Wu Sanfu said.

"I really can't see that Zhao Lizheng looks very decent, and he actually does such a thing, it's crazy." Wu Xuexia said.

"You guys, you still don't have much knowledge, and the more you look at people who can't do it, the more often you do things you can't think of. A dog that barks doesn't bite, and a dog that bites doesn't bark. Wu Sanfeng looks experienced and experienced.

Wu Xiang shook his head: "I don't believe that Zhao Kehu would do such a thing, with my understanding of Zhao Kehu, it shouldn't be, what's more, you go to find out the news, don't you say that it was the man and son of the servant woman in Zhao Kehu's family who died?" Zhao Kehu wants to do something with the servant woman in the house, there is no need to kill. ”

"Dad, do you still believe that Wei Bao can really find the real murderer? I think he is tossing around, probably trying to take this opportunity to get all the local people with a little family background and fame, and squeeze out all the oil and water on their bodies. Wu Sanfeng said.

"Never, as far as I know, Wei Bao is not this kind of person, if he wants to make money by fraud, Wei Bao will never have such a method, besides, he is just a local rich man, not an official, what kind of money can he get from criminal cases?" Wu Sanfu opposed Wu Sanfeng's view.

"No matter what he is for, where can he find the real murderer in this murder case that has been separated for more than a year?" Wu Sanfeng said with a smile.

"Maybe Wei Bao really has a way, even if it is impossible for others, it may not be possible for Wei Bao." Wu Sanfu said: "Every time I come back to Weijiazhuang, I feel that Wei Bao is really a genius, building such a large piece of land in an orderly manner, and getting a lot of strange things to help make money, these are not counted, the most important thing is that Wei Bao no matter how tricky things are, he can always think of a solution, since he dares to promise his father three days as the agreed deadline, he will definitely be able to solve it." ”

Wei Bao and Wu Xiang agreed for three days, although the two of them did not explicitly say anything about the bet.

But if Wei Bao solves this murder case within three days, Wu Xiang will definitely withdraw a team of people stationed in Weijiazhuang, Wu Xiang was originally a person sent from the beginning to maintain law and order in this place, if Wei Bao can properly solve this case, it means that there is no problem with the security of Weijiazhuang. Wu Xiang was also embarrassed to send people to stay there.

If Wei Bao can't solve this murder case, Wu Xiang will find a good point of attack in the future, and he can use the security of Weijiazhuang as an excuse to send troops, and then in the future, he can also send officials to take full control of Weijiazhuang's affairs, he already has this right, so that it will be more justified in the future.

"Genius? Hum. Wu Sanfeng sneered: "This guy is quite business-minded, I admit it, he is not stupid." But the matter of solving the case, I have a lot of contact with my father, this is not a question of whether I am smart or not, it is a matter of experience, and I will know when I go, if Wei Bao wants to make a fake case to fool the past, we can see it at a glance. ”

Wu Xiang also nodded: "Sanfeng is right this time, it really can't be fake, and it can't be fake." Whether it is a murderer or not, a discerning person can know at a glance. Whether Wei Bao is smart or stupid has nothing to do with the case. He is too young to have a deep understanding of people's hearts. People's hearts are separated from their bellies, and it is not as easy as it seems. ”

"Dad, I don't think Wei Bao can find any useful clues, it's been so long. If you can't find useful clues, let alone solve the case, you can't even find a suspect, where can you solve the case? Wu Xuexia said.

Wu Xiang smiled and nodded: "That's right." ”

Wu Sanfu sighed softly: "Yes, what I'm most afraid of is that Wei Bao can't find any evidence, and there is not even a single person who doubts." ”

Several people had a heated discussion, talking about this kind of topic, which not only brought the local integrity, special identity, but also a clueless murder case, these two elements made people talk very interested.

When Wu Xiang planned to go to Wei Bao earlier to get first-hand information and see if Wei Bao could solve the case at the appointed time, Zhao Kehu came back.

Wu Xiang and others met with Zhao Kehu at the gate of Zhao's house.

"Lord Wu, are you leaving?" Zhao Kehu could see Wu Xiang from the carriage, he came back in Wei Bao's luxury carriage, this was Wei Bao's order to make Zhao Kehu apologize, let Zhao Kehu discourage, and seemed to be a kind of show of favor to himself Zhao Kehu and others.

If Zhao Kehu had been in normal times, he would not have taken such a flamboyant private luxury carriage as Wei Bao, but today he made an exception to send Wei Bao's special carriage back.
