In the evening, there were bursts of screams from the entire Linxi Yamen, and the officials used a few heavy punishments on Kong Meng, but at this time, Kong Meng refused to say a word, he insisted that it was just an ordinary relationship with Duan Xin, and why he took care of her, but he refused to say anything at all.

In the face of a stubborn person who is not afraid of beating, even if he is killed, it is useless.

Tong Zhuo was a little annoyed, and ordered Kong Meng to be imprisoned, and after retreating, Tong Zhuo bowed his hand to Hua Lang and said, "Dude, do you think this Kong Meng looks like a murderer?" ”

Hua Lang frowned slightly, and said: "It's really hard to say, it's really strange for a man to take care of a pregnant woman for no reason, but he refuses to tell the reason, even if he is really the father of the child in Duan Xin's womb, so what, we can punish him at most!" ”

"Dude, our punishment is nothing, the key is that there is a lady in Kong Meng's family, if his wife knows that he has raised a woman outside and is about to give birth, what do you think her wife will do? I heard that Kong Meng's wife Huang Shan is a very strong woman, and if her husband dares to get too close to a woman, she will burst into thunder. ”

After Tong Zhuo finished speaking, he smiled indifferently, as if he was very sympathetic to Kong Meng's plight, otherwise if he had the ability, he didn't have to look at that woman's face, and it would not be a problem to accept as many concubines as he could.

When Tong Zhuo said this, Hua Lang suddenly frowned slightly, and said, "You just said that Kong Meng's wife is a very jealous person?" ”

"A very strong person, but the playboy can also be described as jealous......" Speaking of this, Tong Zhuo suddenly realized something, so he hurriedly asked: "What does the playboy mean is that Huang Shan knew about her husband and Duan Xin, so she killed Duan Xin?" ”

Hua Lang nodded: "There is indeed this impossibility, but who killed Duan Xin can't be determined immediately, maybe Duan Xin was killed by Huang Shan himself, maybe Kong Meng was forced to kill by his wife, both are possible, you send someone to investigate nearby, see who appeared near the murder scene during the period last evening, and then investigate the alibi of the two of them." ”

The murderer seems to be on the verge of being called, just a little, a little.

It was already late at night, and on the way back from Hua Lang, Wen Meng and the others, the entire Linxi City had been quiet, except for the occasional sound of a few children's cries and the chirping of a few wild cats.

This place in Linxi City is really a strange place.

There was no word for the night, and the next day it was sunny.

Hua Lang got up and went to the yamen, but the officials did not investigate anything, but at this time, the jailer in the prison came to report that Kong Meng was shouting in the prison, saying that he had been wronged, and that he had an alibi and asked to see the adult.

After Tong Zhuo, Hua Lang and the others listened, they immediately ordered someone to escort Kong Meng over, because the beating last night was really heavy, Kong Meng's ass already looked like it was about to rot, he lay on the ground, with a bitter face, and said: "My lord, the villain suddenly remembered that the villain has an alibi at the scene, and please check it out." ”

"Oh, what alibi do you have, tell me and listen to it?"

"Yes, yes, I heard your lord say that the deceased seems to have been killed around the end of the evening, didn't he?"

"That's right, it was that time."

"That's right, before the evening, the little one drank and talked about business with a few business partners, and they talked for a long time, and they could testify for me, and I was drunk that night, and it was almost midnight when I came home."

Hua Lang and Tong Zhuo glanced at each other, if this was the case, then this Kong Meng was really not suspicious, but what he said had to be verified, so Hua Lang asked the people who had been drinking in the place where they had been drinking that night.

The place where they drank that day was a restaurant, there were three people who drank together, plus Kong Meng was four people, after Tong Zhuo figured out this, he immediately sent someone to investigate, after the eldest brother had a stick of incense, they rushed back, saying that everything was as Kong Meng said, on the evening of the day Duan Xin was killed, he did drink with someone, only during the time to go to the toilet to facilitate a cup of tea, and the murder scene in that inn was very far away, and the time without a stick of incense was absolutely impossible.

In other words, Kong Meng's alibi was proved, but even so, Tong Zhuo was not ready to let him go, because he didn't explain why he had to take care of Duan Xin, who was pregnant, maybe he was really the father of the child in Duan Xin's womb, and the person who killed Duan Xin was Huang Shan, who was very strong and jealous.

After taking Kong Meng down again, Hua Lang waited at the yamen, waiting for news from those officials.

Around noon, the officials rushed back, and they investigated a very important clue, that is, during the time period when the deceased was killed, someone saw a woman with a big belly walking out of it, and the person thought that Duan Xin was walking around at first, but later found out that it was not, but a person he didn't know.

They are getting closer and closer to success, and according to what Hua Lang knows, Huang Shan is also pregnant, and if he kills people with a big belly, it is indeed obvious.

"Did the witness see the face of the woman with the big belly?"

"I saw clearly, the witness was washing clothes in the courtyard at the time, and I saw it through the crack in the door, the playboy, Master Tong, did you let the witness go to Huang's house to testify?"

Tong Zhuo nodded: "Okay, you take someone to the Huang family to testify." ”

But at this time, Hua Lang shook his head: "No, let's call Huang Shan, and then let the witness recognize it on the side, I think let her come on the grounds of visiting the prison." ”

Speaking of this, Tong Zhuo nodded: "It's really strange, since Kong Meng was imprisoned, this Huang Shan hasn't asked to visit the prison yet." ”

"Maybe it's because she has a weak heart, maybe it's because she has a big belly and can't move."

In any case, after receiving the orders from Tong Zhuo and Hua Lang, a government official hurried to the Huang Mansion, but he did not directly say that he wanted Huang Shan to visit the prison, only that Kong Meng told them in the prison that he had something important to tell Huang Shan.

The direct husband wanted to see him, but Huang Shan couldn't refuse, found a carriage, and walked slowly towards the yamen.

Huang Shan's appearance was already very bloated, and it really made people refuse to believe that she was going to run to kill people, but when he got out of the carriage and stepped into the yamen, the witness hiding in the dark of the yamen immediately covered his mouth, and then said in surprise: "That's right, it's her, the pregnant woman I saw in the crack of the door is her." ”
