Chapter 317: Under the Sycamore Tree
Chapter 317: Under the Sycamore Tree.
The cicadas chirp harshly.
For the first time, everyone felt that the cicada song was so annoying.
Maybe it has something to do with everyone's anxious mood.
Just as everyone was walking back and forth restlessly, Hua Lang suddenly said, "Let's go to the prison." ”
No one knew what to do in the prison, but no one asked, because they felt that Hua Lang must have his reason for going to the prison.
So they went to prison.
At this time, the prison could faintly smell a sour smell, which was the most common smell in the summer prison, and in addition to this smell, it was full of flies and mosquitoes, and walking into the prison was like walking into hell.
It's not that Bao Zheng doesn't talk about humanity, but that all the prisons are like this in the summer, and the officials of the county government are very busy, especially after following a clean official like Bao Zheng, so they don't have time to clean up the prison.
The flies buzzed in people's ears, so annoying, Wen Meng kept waving his hand to drive them away, and then followed closely behind Hua Lang, hoping that his body could cover her from some nasty things.
Everyone followed Hua Lang all the way until they reached the prison where the monks of Zhikong were imprisoned, and at this time, the monks of Zhikong did not dare to sit down, so they could only lie on the ground, and on the ground, there were flies gathered together, looking disgusting.
But after Hua Lang stopped outside the cell of Monk Zhikong and others, he smiled faintly and asked, "Does it taste good inside?" ”
Monk Zhikong couldn't care about clasping his hands, let alone Amitabha, he just shook his head: "It's uncomfortable, we really didn't kill anyone, let us go." ”
Hua Lang shook his head and said, "It's not so easy for us to let you go, but now that you're a suspect, I'm afraid it's not easy for us to arrest you if we let you go." ”
As soon as he heard this, Monk Zhikong hurriedly asked the little novice beside him to help him up, and said, "You let us leave here, we will never leave Longyin Temple, really." ”
Hua Lang shook his head again: "I don't dare to bet on this, but if you can answer me a few questions, I can consider it." ”
When Monk Zhikong heard that there was hope, he nodded hurriedly, hating to put his head on his fat chest.
Hua Lang smiled lightly and asked, "You said that Tong Yu often goes to your Longyin Temple, so do you know who he is meeting with?" ”
Monk Zhikong wanted to shake his head, but after shaking his head, it would be difficult to go back, so he hurriedly pondered, and after a long time, he suddenly said with some excitement: "When the flower donor said this, I suddenly remembered, I remember that when the Tong donor came to my Longyin Temple, a woman also came, although the two of them did not speak, but after meeting, their eyes kept communicating, and soon after they went to a hidden place, what is the situation between the two of them?" ”
Zhikong's words were very much in line with Hua Lang's meaning, but Hua Lang asked in a cold tone, "What does that woman look like, but like this?" Hua Lang said, handed the portrait of Mrs. Yuan to Monk Zhikong to see, after Monk Zhikong read it, nodded again and again, and said: "It's this woman, she also often comes to my Longyin Temple, and there is a maid by her side, that's right, it's her." ”
Zhikong's last sentence can be regarded as an extreme affirmation of this matter, everyone heard this, and they all understood what was going on, it turned out that Hua Lang suspected that this Tong Yu and Mrs. Yuan were cheating, so he came to ask these monks to see if anyone knew about Lu Dao.
And these monks did not disappoint them, they finally went from having no clues to having clues.
If Tong Yu and Mrs. Yuan cheated, and the maid Xiaomei covered for them, then everything would be clear.
Leaving the prison, Bao Zheng hurriedly said: "It must be this Yuan Ru who found out about his wife and Tong Yu, so he became angry and killed Tong Yu first, and then killed Xiaomei and his wife when his wife went out to play." ”
After Bao Zheng said this, Hua Lang didn't speak, because he found that there was a little problem, that Yuan Ru was just a casual person, could he cut off Tong Yu's head with one knife?
While Hua Lang was pondering, Bao Zheng immediately ordered: "Come on, follow me to arrest Yuan Ru." ”
At this time, Hua Lang hurriedly stopped: "Brother Bao, everything is just speculation now, if you really take Yuan Ru, I am afraid that something will happen, why don't we test him first?" ”
Bao Zheng is not a reckless person, but he was forced by Fu Wei and Zhang Gonggong to be anxious, so he was a little impulsive, and now after listening to Hualang's words, he nodded again and again, and said, "Very good." ”
So, after a short time, the official invited Yuan Ru, when Yuan Ru came, he looked a little frightened, and after seeing Bao Zheng, he hurriedly asked: "But Lord Bao has found out who is the murderer?" ”
Bao Zheng smiled faintly, asked Yuan Ru to sit down, and then asked the people in the house to serve tea, a small guy in the house ran to bring a cup of tea up, but when he was about to hand it to Yuan Ru, his hand suddenly trembled, and the cup of tea fell off his hand, and it was about to be sprinkled on Yuan Ru.
The little guy said that he was embarrassed again and again, and when Bao Zheng saw this, he hurriedly scolded: "Clumsy, don't hurry up and pour another cup for Yuan Yuanwai." ”
The little guy nodded repeatedly, and then retreated.
At this time, Bao Zheng also said a little embarrassedly: "Let Yuan Yuan see a smile, let you come today, mainly to tell you that the murderer who killed your wife is probably not Tong Yu, because we found Tong Yu's body in Longyin Temple last night, so the murderer is someone else." ”
Yuan Ru was taken aback and said, "What, the murderer is someone else?" After saying this, Yuan Ru suddenly knelt down and said, "Lord Bao, you must help me find the murderer and avenge my wife, I have a very good relationship with my wife, and now that she has been killed, I can't sleep well!" ”
Hearing Yuan Ru's words, Bao Zheng comforted him again and again, so that Yuan Ru left.
said that Yuan Ru had just left, Hua Lang and others walked out from behind, Bao Zheng sighed and said, "He doesn't seem to be a murderer!" ”
Hua Lang looked at Yuan Ru's disappearing figure, and said with a light smile: "I'm afraid not necessarily, because according to the speed of human reaction, he should have noticed it when the teacup took off his hand, but he didn't make any movements, and he didn't react until the teacup fell on him, so I know that he must have tried his best to hide something at that time." ”
Sometimes, the slow reaction does not prove that he does not know martial arts.
The reaction is slower, which makes people more suspicious.
