Chapter 161: Luring the Enemy to Appear
Chapter 161: Luring the enemy to appear.
The night is deep, and the autumn breeze is cold.
When Bao Zheng and Hua Lang left the gambling house and returned to the county office, the sky was already full of stars.
Along the way, several of them were silent, as if they were stumped by the current situation, and as if they were just appreciating it because the night was too good.
After returning to the county office, they began to deploy, and the so-called deployment is just to think about everything that may happen, and then have a preparation.
The next day, the weather was fine, and when the people of Tianchang County came out to do their activities, the county government released a news that the criminal Li Dadou committed suicide in prison, and the murder of Li Sanpi was over.
After hearing the news, the people did not react at all, because to them, Li Dadou was a criminal, and since he was a criminal, he should die, whether he died in the prison or was escorted to the execution ground.
This news did not arouse Qianfeuille, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang also thought of it, but they believed that since the murderer intended to create an unjust, false and wrongful case, the murderer would not let go of this matter easily, and he would inevitably use this matter to make trouble.
Everything in the county government is as usual, so that people can't see any movement, Hua Lang and Yin Wuxian and a few of them usually stay in the detective agency and wait for business, and only go to the county office when they have nothing to do.
After a day like this, a news suddenly came out from Tianchang County, saying that on the night Li Sanpi was killed, someone saw Li Dadou gambling in the gambling house, how could he kill Li Sanpi?
As soon as this news came out, it quickly spread throughout Tianchang County, and then, many people came to the county government to question Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng saw so many people coming to make trouble, but he ignored them, let those people make trouble outside, and didn't even go out to say a word to them.
Those people made a lot of trouble, but no one cared about it, and they felt bored after the worst, so slowly some people gradually left, after all, killing Li Dadou by mistake had nothing to do with them, and if they offended the government because of this, it was not a good thing.
The matter slowly calmed down like this, and it seemed that it was a little difficult to overturn the case for Li Dadou.
But after everyone slowly dispersed, there was still a person standing in front of the county yamen, that person was thin, his clothes were tattered, and he was even a little trembling because of the autumn wind, and he tightened his clothes from time to time, he stood in front of the county yamen and did not leave, which made the officials a little strange, and finally a government official couldn't help but come to him and asked: "Everyone else is gone, why don't you leave?" ”
The man's eyes were confused with three points of hatred, and he said coldly: "I am Li Dadou's cousin Li Erdou, I believe that my eldest brother will not kill Li Sanpi, and I want to get justice for him." ”
This Li Erdou's voice was very loud, so that it quickly attracted a group of audiences, but although he said this, he couldn't even beat a single officer, and the official smiled coldly: "It's useless for you to say this, now that Li Dadou has confessed, and no one really sees him gambling, if you want the county to order the lord to accept this case, I'm afraid you have to find witnesses." ”
After the official finished speaking, he stopped talking, and Li Erdou was extremely angry, and said angrily: "Okay, I'll find a witness to show you, and I will let your Lord Bao personally admit that my eldest brother Li Dadou is innocent." ”
After Li Erdou left the county office, he went to the gambling house that Li Dadou said, he asked one by one inside, asking if they had seen Li Dadou that night, but the people inside only cared about gambling, and they wanted to pay attention to him, and there were a few gambling losers, and they wanted to beat him, so they asked all the people in the gambling house, Li Erdou finally felt lost, he left the gambling house weakly, and the anger in his heart turned to his face, he couldn't help but shout loudly to vent, but he shouted, He couldn't vent his sulk.
Just as Li Erdou was about to go home, a voice suddenly came from behind him, and the voice was very calm, as if nothing in the world could surprise him.
"You want witnesses, it's not easy."
Li Erdou turned around, and then he saw a person who was dressed ordinarily, but his expression was calm, and there was always a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and that person's appearance seemed to give people a kind of magic and make people believe all the words he said.
Li Erdou suddenly ran over and asked eagerly: "Did you see my eldest brother in the gambling house, are you willing to be a witness?" ”
The man shook his head: "No, I didn't see your eldest brother in the gambling house, but I can pay someone to be your witness!" ”
"Looking for someone?" Li Erdou subconsciously took a step back, because he felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.
The man smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes, as long as you find someone to be your witness, your eldest brother's grievances will be settled, why don't you do it?" ”
"Yes...... But did that man really see my eldest brother? ”
"Who cares about this, as long as he is willing to testify!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, a voice suddenly came: "I'm afraid not!" ”
After hearing this voice, the man knew that he was about to escape, but he was just about to escape, when suddenly a group of officials poured out from all sides, and Li Erdou, who had just spoken to him, also suddenly rushed up, and when he rushed up, he was agile, not at all like a peasant who could only plough the land.
The man knew that he had been deceived, so he didn't care about entanglement with people, he just fled, he seemed to be very confident in his light skills, confident that none of these people could catch up with him.
He ran very fast, and Yin Wuxian and Wen Meng chased them for a long time, but the man disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When everyone got together again, that Li Erdou had already changed into a suit of fast clothes, all of this was just a plan set up by Bao Zheng and Hua Lang, then Li Dadou did not commit suicide in fear of crime, everything was just to attract the murderer to appear.
It's just that they didn't expect that the murderer could run so fast that Yin Wuxian and Wen Meng couldn't catch up.
After a while, Gongsun Ce brought the portrait of the murderer, and after everyone looked at it carefully, they all said that they had never seen this person in Tianchang County, Bao Zheng saw this, and asked Gongsun Ce to copy a few more portraits, and then posted them on the streets and alleys of Tianchang County, and wanted this person.
At this time, Hua Lang asked Wen Meng to call on friends in the rivers and lakes to inquire about the whereabouts of this person, and it was naturally best to know who this person was.
This was no problem for Wen Meng, and after leaving the county office, she went directly to the Wen Mansion.
When that is done, all they need is to wait, and it may be a long wait, but this is the only way they can do it now.
The wait was difficult, but fortunately, Wen Meng didn't make them wait too long.
