The night is getting deeper, and every time the night is deep, it is the beginning of sin.

Outside Huainan City, a crime was being staged at this time.

A rope was tied around the neck of an old woman, who kept struggling and shouting, but it was useless, she was too old, and the murderer behind her was much stronger than her, she could not be the opponent of this murderer.

Moreover, her voice was so small that it was almost inaudible, so she couldn't count on the people in the village at all.

Slowly, the old woman's movements became smaller and weaker, until at last she could not move, she died, her face was horribly white, the murderer snorted coldly, and after cleaning up, he quietly left.

It's late at night, Sunjia Village is destined to be unquiet tonight, the dog is a gambler, known as Sun Ergou, he went to gamble again that night, but his luck has not been very good, so in just one hour, he lost all the money, at this time he was preparing to go home to sleep with a gloomy face, but at this time, he saw a man come out of Sunjia Village in a hurry, the man walked very fast, and looked back from time to time, that looked like a thief.

But Sun Ergou was not worried, because there was nothing in his house worthy of thieves to steal, and after watching the man leave, he cursed and returned home.

The night passed like this, and the next day, Sun Ergou was woken up by the screams of the villagers, and it was only the hour of the hour, and according to Sun Ergou's previous habits, he was going to sleep until noon, at this time he was very tired, very tired, but he was even more angry, because these villagers hindered him from sleeping.

So at this time, he suddenly ran out, he wanted to quarrel with these villagers, but when he ran out, he was suddenly dumbfounded, because the villagers were shouting, because there was a death in the village, and the mother of Sun Zihao, who died not long ago, was killed last night.

When Sun Ergou heard the news, he suddenly remembered the person he met last night, and the way that person looked when he left, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

Sun Ergou wanted to stand up and say that he knew who the murderer was, and he saw the murderer with his own eyes, but when he took a step, he suddenly hesitated, he was a gambler, and now he had no money in his hand, so he had to not go to the gambling house for several days, which made him feel uncomfortable all over his body, if he could get some money from the murderer, maybe it would be easier.

But there is a problem that needs to be solved, that is, he does not know the murderer, he only sees the murderer's face, so it will take a while to find the murderer and extort money from him.

But this is nothing to Sun Ergou, he is an unemployed vagrant, and the most he has is time, so he doesn't care about spending more time to find this murderer.

The matter of the murder case in Sunjia Village quickly spread to the government office, and soon to Hua Lang's ears, and when Hua Lang learned that Sun Zihao's mother was killed, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, he felt that Sun Zihao's mother must have mastered something, because of this, she was killed by the murderer, but Sun Zihao's mother didn't know what it was, but the murderer killed her for his own safety.

When Sima Guang and others hurriedly came to Sun Zihao's house, that place was already full of people, Hua Lang entered the house to check the body, it was undoubtedly strangled to death, but in addition, there were no other useful clues, and the things in the house were not few, and they were not very chaotic, as if after the murderer appeared, he immediately shot, and Sun Zihao's mother was strangled to death by the murderer before he had time to resist.

After inspecting the corpse and the contents of the house, Hua Lang looked at the people and asked, "What did you hear last night?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, and Hua Lang frowned slightly, but finally sighed and said, "In that case, then who found the body first?" ”

"It's me!" A voice came from the crowd, it was a girl's voice, crisp, pleasant, Hua Lang glanced at it, and saw that it was Sun Qing, Sun Qing's face was not very good at this time, thinking that she had no feelings for Sun Zihao, but for Sun Zihao's mother, she had more or less feelings.

"Because Aunt Sun's son died, I was afraid of being sad and sad, so I was going to cook for her this morning, but I never thought that I would call her no, and when I opened the door, I found that Aunt Sun was dead."

The people around sighed, they were the most ordinary people, they were full of compassion for the death of an old woman, Hua Lang knew that from the mouths of these people, he was afraid that he would not be able to ask anything, and since he could not ask anything, it would be useless to continue to stay in this place.

After disposing of the body, Hanaro was ready to leave, but he felt that it was necessary to send a servant to spy on the place.

On the way back, Sima Guang said with some compassion: "The murderer is really hateful, not to mention killing Sun Zihao, even such an old woman will not be spared, and after he is caught, the official must let him know that he is powerful." ”

Hua Lang nodded: "This Lord Sima will definitely be able to get his wish." ”

"So, the dude knows about the murder?"

Hua Lang smiled and shook his head: "That can be so fast, I only know that my grandmother knows some things, and these things she knows threaten a person's safety, so that person did not hesitate to kill his grandmother and grandson Hao, I wondered, did my grandmother tell me the thing she knew, yesterday, she nagged a lot, but I really can't think of that thing that made him a threat to others." ”

And at this time, Wen Meng suddenly said: "Didn't my grandmother say yesterday that his son had a lot of money on hand recently, could it be that his son blackmailed others to have the money, the murderer killed Sun Zihao just because he didn't want to be blackmailed anymore, and the murderer was afraid that Sun Zihao would tell his mother what he knew, so the murderer thought of killing his grandmother too." ”

Wen Meng's proposal is very possible, but if they want to know who the murderer is, they must know who Sun Zihao blackmailed, for this reason, they went to the Sanbei Inn and asked Xu Sanbei if he had given Sun Zihao a lot of money, Xu Sanbei didn't understand what Hualang was asking for this, but he still replied: "No, he works here with me, and he said okay, the monthly salary is eighteen Wen, and he can eat and live, and sometimes the guests eat leftovers, he can also take them away, and ask me to pay him again, which ...... It's just impossible. ”
