Chapter 998: The Gentleman on the Beam
The sound of the wind and rain is loud, and I don't know when it will stop.
And just after the evening, when the wind and rain were stronger, a servant hurried to say that they had caught the murderer, or rather more cautiously, the suspect.
Hearing this news, everyone was very excited, just now Li Jingan also said when it will be broken, but now there is news.
Hua Lang glanced at the wind and rain outside, and said with a light smile: "Bring that person in!" ”
The official went out, and a slightly thin man walked in, his clothes were already wet, and there was mud on his trouser legs, and it was raining when he wanted to arrest him, and he had the idea of escaping.
After escorting the man, Hua Lang didn't ask the man first, but just looked at the official and asked, "How did you catch him?" ”
"Dude, that's the case, didn't you let us guard the shop and the shop where we bought jade, when the rain was pouring down today, this kid came with a porcelain, the porcelain was very small, and he couldn't find it at all when he hid it on his body, and the owner of the jade shop saw it, and immediately gave us a look, which was what we discussed with the shopkeeper, and if we found something missing from the Chamu Manor, we gave us a look, and after we saw the shopkeeper's eyes, we immediately rushed up, and this person saw that the situation was not right, He wanted to escape, but we were all guarding outside, where could he escape? ”
After listening to these words of the officer, Hua Lang nodded with a smile, then looked at the man and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"I didn't kill anyone, you wronged people!"
Seeing that this person didn't answer the question, Li Jingan suddenly said angrily: "You are the most honest to answer the question, and answer whatever you ask, if not, the big punishment will wait." ”
The man's body trembled slightly, and then he said intermittently: "Shi ...... Repair from time to time. ”
"Let me ask you, you stole the porcelain?"
"No...... I didn't steal it, I picked it up. ”
Hua Lang smiled slightly: "Oh, where did you pick it up, besides, where do you live?" ”
was asked by Hua Lang like this, Shi Xiu didn't know how to answer, of course, where he picked it up, he could say casually, but where he lived at home, he couldn't say it, because as soon as he said it, he would reveal the stuffing.
"If you don't want to say yes, since you don't want to say it, then use torture!" Li Jingan scared Shi Xiu like this just now, and Hua Lang found that he was very afraid of torture, so at this time, Hua Lang also wanted to use this method to scare him.
This trick really worked, and when he heard that he was going to torture himself, Shi Xiu begged for mercy again and again, saying: "I stole it, I stole it, but I didn't kill anyone." ”
"Since you stole these things from Chaime's manor, and Shibamu is dead, how can you say that you didn't kill anyone?"
Shi Xiu sighed and said: "What the villain said is true, the villain really didn't kill anyone, at that time the villain hid on the beam in the house, the woman and Chai Mu were happy and left while Chai Mu was asleep, and I took advantage of this time to leave the room to look for treasures in other places, and then the things I found in other places were not very valuable, I was bold enough to return to Shibame's bedroom again, but when I returned to Shibame's bedroom, I found that he was killed, I was frightened, I hurriedly took away the valuable things in the bedroom, but I really didn't kill anyone. ”
Shi Xiu's words confused everyone's hearts, but after thinking about it carefully, Hanaro asked, "In other words, during the time you left the bedroom and returned to the bedroom, Chai Mu was killed?" ”
"Exactly!"
"What did you hear at the time?"
"No, the place where I went to find other treasures at that time was some distance from Shibame's bedroom."
"How long have you been there!"
"Half a pillar of incense is less than time!"
"What did you do after you left?"
"After leaving, I wanted to do nothing, but I really felt uneasy about my conscience, so I secretly went to the door of the government and threw a note, telling them that there was a murder here."
After asking this question, Hua Lang didn't ask anything else, and at this time, Li Jingan said, "You really didn't hear anything?" ”
"I really didn't hear anything, if I heard it, I wouldn't have run early, it would be a murderer, if I ran late, wouldn't I have killed me?"
There was nothing to ask, Li Jingan ordered someone to escort Shi Xiu down, the wind and rain outside were more urgent, Li Jing'an sweated on his forehead, wiped it slightly, and asked: "Dude, what do you think about this matter, is it possible that this Shi Xiu is the murderer?" ”
Before Hua Lang could answer, Wen Meng preemptively spoke: "Of course it may be the murderer, he stole things, if he is found out by Chai Mu, do you say that Chai Mu will have a fight with the murderer, killing people in the fight, it is normal." ”
After Wen Meng finished saying this, Yin Wuxuan hurriedly echoed: "That's right, don't forget, the murder scene is very chaotic, and there are clear traces of fighting, but this Shi Xiu said that he didn't hear anything, do you think this is possible?" ”
After Wen Meng and Yin Wuxuan finished speaking, Li Jingan suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, and then nodded again and again: "That's right, that's true, the murderer and the deceased had a fight, but Shi Xiu didn't hear anything, it seems that he lied to us!" After saying this, Li Jingan set his eyes on Hua Lang and asked, "Dude, what do you think?" ”
"Judging from the current situation, Shi Xiu's suspicion is indeed very great, but it cannot be ruled out that the murderer deliberately created a chaotic scene, so it is possible that the murderer has someone else."
"That purple butterfly?" Li Jing'an asked suddenly, because Li Jing'an suddenly thought that maybe Zidie had already known that there was a gentleman on the beam in the bedroom, so he pretended to leave after having a good time with Chai Mu, and when Shi Xiu went to other places to steal things, she quietly returned to the bedroom to kill Chai Mu, and then made the house messy, according to the testimony of Shi Xiu and Zi Die, at that time Chai Mu fell asleep because he was too tired, killing a person who fell asleep was not a difficult thing for Zi Die, right?
After everyone heard Li Jing'an's words, they all suddenly understood Li Jing'an's thoughts, but although this idea was a possibility, they had no evidence to prove that the murderer was Zidie.
"Maybe if you look at the murder scene again and examine the body again, you can find out how Li Jingan died!" Because thinking of the case that Hua Lang had solved before, Yin Wuwu put forward such a suggestion.
But at this time, Hua Lang only smiled faintly and said, "Since we suspect the target on Purple Butterfly, then why bother to examine the corpse again, wouldn't it be more direct to send someone to investigate Purple Butterfly's background and relationship with Chai Eye?" ”
