The shopkeeper was very embarrassed and said, "That... That's because I ate the uneaten watermelon. I almost finished eating the watermelon rind. But the hole that had been punctured by something was still in the melon skin. ”

"I'll find it for you."

Su Xianrong smelled the smell of rotten watermelon skins, and wanted to vomit, she looked at Song Ruilong and said, "Brother Song really wants to find it?" ”

Song Ruilong said: "The shopkeeper has said that the watermelon skin is about to be eaten up by the shopkeeper, even if we find the watermelon peel, Zhou Yongchuan may not admit it, so there is no need to find this watermelon peel." ”

Su Xianrong said in surprise: "Not looking for it?" So how do we get Zhou Yongchuan to confess? ”

Song Ruilong said: "It's very simple, just make a watermelon skin that was pierced by a stick."

Song Ruilong looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Little Er, you go to the kitchen and take a big watermelon to the room where Xiang Fucai lived." Song Ruilong took out some broken silver and gave it to the shopkeeper, "This is the money to buy watermelons, take it." ”

The shopkeeper said excitedly: "Poor people, I don't need so much."

"Go ahead!"

The shopkeeper ran to the kitchen excitedly as if he had won the **** order.

After the shopkeeper gave the big watermelon to Song Ruilong, he went out.

Song Ruilong put the big watermelon on the pointed stick and said, "Rong Rong, look, if you put on this shelf spliced together with sticks and put on a piece of clothing, will it look more like a person?"

Su Xianrong said: "Not bad." This person doesn't have to speak, just sit like this. People outside would think there were two people in the room, but in fact, there was only one person inside. ”

Song Ruilong said: "At present, we still have to find Zhou Yongchuan, and we also have to prove that Zhou Yongchuan can do ventriloquism."

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong took the watermelon and those sticks back to the county government and handed them over to Zhang Meixian. They went to No. 15 Ankai Road, Zhou Yongchuan's home.

Zhou Yongchuan was sawing wood and making tables at home.

Su Xianrong and Song Ruilong were both dressed as civilians, they walked in front of Zhou Yongchuan, Su Xianrong looked at Zhou Yongchuan and said, "Brother Su." I think we'd better go, he's a wood sawer, how can he be ventriloquist? Is our master confused, and he wants to use five hundred taels of silver to ask him to perform ventriloquist stunts for him? ”

Song Ruilong said: "I think so, let's look for it again!"

Zhou Yongchuan was anxious, he put down the wood in his hand, and said, "Do you two want to find a ventriloquist for your master?"

Song Ruilong looked at Zhou Yongchuan and said, "You, you're just afraid that you can't do it." Do you know ventriloquism? ”

Zhou Yongchuan's mouth was facing the sky. Learning to use the cries of larks, yellow warblers, and crows to play a song of a hundred birds towards the phoenix, Su Xianrong, who listened to the ventriloquist, was a little intoxicated, if she hadn't seen Zhou Yongchuan calling with her mouth, she would really think that she had entered a world where a hundred birds were singing.

Zhou Yongchuan finished learning the call of a hundred birds and said, "How is it?" Two, is the ventriloquist worth five hundred taels of silver? ”

Zhou Yongchuan is very confident in his ventriloquism. He thinks that Song Ruilong will definitely let him perform ventriloquism.

Song Ruilong just shook his head and said, "Your ventriloquist is wonderful. But we still can't ask you to go. ”

Zhou Yongchuan said suspiciously: "The two of you are taking it under the shabu, aren't they?"

Song Ruilong said very seriously: "Don't be angry first. We are not making fun of Your Excellency, we only have one more thing to worry about, we are afraid that Your Excellency will not be able to do it. ”

Zhou Yongchuan said: "What else do you want me to do?"

Song Ruilong called Zhou Yongchuan aside and said mysteriously: "Our master is very afraid of his wife. He wanted to go out and be happy, but he was afraid that his wife would find out, so he wanted to stay in the study for one night, and no one was in the study. Is there anything you can do? ”

Zhou Yongchuan said excitedly: "This is easy to do!" As long as you ask your master to call your subordinates to his study, I will have a way to conjure up another one of yours. Your master can be as happy as he wants outside. ”

Song Ruilong said: "We want to confirm whether your method will work." You must know that our master is very cautious, he has been innocent all his life, and he can't make any mistakes in his old age. ”

Zhou Yongchuan said: "Your master's thoughts are understandable, but you can completely believe in the bottom, and you can guarantee that it is absolutely foolproof."

"If you still can't believe me, please follow me."

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong followed Zhou Yongchuan to his room.

Zhou Yongchuan took out a dozen of them from a pile of wooden sticks, and quickly put together a person's skeleton.

Zhou Yongchuan said: "As long as you put this humanoid skeleton on clothes, put it on your head, and shine it by candlelight at night, there will be a shadow on the window, and then gently press this wooden stick with your foot to make this wooden frame move, and when the time comes, coupled with the perfect ventriloquist performance, your wife will not be able to find it anyway."

Song Ruilong said: "Your stunt is really amazing, now please come with us to the county office."

"Hey, what is this for? What mistakes were made in the next one? ”

After Su Xianrong showed Zhou Yongchuan the waist card of the tolerance case, he said: "Follow us to the county government to make what should be said clearly, otherwise the county government's prison will always be open for you."

Song Ruilong brought Zhou Yongchuan back to the county yamen, and he asked Su Xianrong to inform Liu Tianxiong to bring Xiang Fucai back to the yamen.

When Liu Tianxiong and Wei Bixi brought Xiang Fucai back to the county office, Song Ruilong immediately asked Xiang Fucai to be taken to the interrogation room.

After Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong sat down, they looked at Xiang Fucai opposite, and Su Xianrong said, "Xiang Fucai, what do you want to say about the death of your brother Xiang Fugui?"

Xiang Fucai looked confused and said, "Poor people, Xiaomin doesn't understand what you mean?" Xiaomin's brother died, of course Xiaomin was very sad and sad, but you didn't arrest the real murderer, but you arrested Xiaomin for interrogation, which really puzzled Xiaomin. ”

Song Ruilong was not angry, and said, "Xiang Fucai, do you think that if you don't admit that you killed your brother, we won't be able to cure your crime?"

Xiang Fucai said confidently: "Xiaomin was at the Yingchun Inn all night last night, and he never went to Chunfeng Lou at all, it was Xiaomin's brother Xiang Fugui who went to Chunfeng Lou, and the shopkeeper can testify to this." Xiaomin and Dian Xiaoer are not related, there is no need for him to risk going to prison to tell lies. ”

Song Ruilong said: "The shopkeeper is indeed not lying, and there is no need for him to lie. It's just that the voice of the person that the shopkeeper heard was not your Xiang Fucai's, and the shadow on the window he saw was not your Xiang Fucai's, it was just a humanoid bracket made of sticks.
