Xu Hongfei did not deny it: "This bamboo basket is very similar to the bamboo basket of Xiaomin's brother's family, but I don't know if it's not, because there are too many similar things in the world." ”

Song Ruilong said with a smile: "It seems that you are not lying. Yes, this bamboo basket is your brother's house, and the county personally took it at your brother's house. ”

Wei Bixiao asked puzzledly: "My lord, what does this bamboo basket have to do with Pang Jiaxiong's death?" Why did you come here with a bamboo basket to solve the case? ”

Song Ruilong didn't answer Wei Bixi's words, and said, "Xu Hongfei, what did you tell this bamboo basket in this county that it was loaded with last night?" ”

Xu Hongfei shook his head and said, "My lord, how can this little people know?" The bamboo basket belongs to Xiaomin's brother, what is he going to put in, I'm afraid that he knows it himself, how can Xiaomin know? Xiaomin is at Xiaomin's brother's house as if he is an outsider. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to think of it in this county." Song Ruilong turned his head to look at Wei Bixiao and said, "Bixiao, you go to the reception hall and call the seven-step snake in." ”

Wei Bixiao nodded and went.

When Xu Hongfei heard the name of the seven-step snake, his heart was about to shrink. Both hands clenched tightly, and the nails were about to pierce into the flesh of the palms.

When Wei Bixiao brought the seven-step snake to the interrogation room, the seven-step snake glanced at Xu Hongfei and said, "Xu Hongfei, do you still recognize the old decay?" ”

The seven-step snake is an old man in his seventies, although his beard and hair are white. Although the wrinkles on his face were as dense as spider webs, the eyes of the seven-step snake were sharp and shiny, and they were bright. Although the bones can be seen in his arms, but no one dares to underestimate the movements of those two hands, as long as it is the snake he sees, no matter what kind of snake it is, within seven steps of him, he can definitely catch that snake, so. His name was the Seven-Step Serpent.

The seven-step snake stood next to Xu Hongfei, and Xu Hongfei was so frightened that he even wanted to retract his head into the turtle shell.

Xu Hongfei's body was trembling, and he said, "Seven-step snake." What are you doing here? ”

Song Ruilong shook the fan gently, fanning a few strands of hair on his chest to fly high, and then those strands of hair slowly fell again.

Song Ruilong's eyes swept over Xu Hongfei's body and said, "It seems that your memory is not bad." Let's cut a long story short. Now that you know who the seven-step snake is. Then you should know that you yourself let the Seven Steps Snake do something for you two days ago. ”

Xu Hongfei knew that in front of the seven-step snake, even if he lied, he would be exposed quickly, so he told the truth and said, "Of course Xiaomin remembers what Xiaomin asked the seven-step snake to do two days ago. Xiao Min gave a hundred taels of silver, and asked the seven-step snake to catch a big snake three feet long and with a thin arm. He delivered the viper to Xiao Min's house at dinner, and Xiao Min promised him a hundred taels of silver as well as the Seven Steps Snake. My lord. It's not a crime for a small person to buy a snake, right? ”

Xu Hongfei felt that what he said was very reasonable, and he was still looking at Song Ruilong smiling proudly.

Song Ruilong was not angry, his anger was getting smaller and smaller now, because he knew that being angry was useless to solve the case.

Song Ruilong said slowly: "You put the three-foot-long, arm-thick snake in this bamboo basket, and then took it to your brother Xu Hongguang's house and put it in the upper room, that is, last night, where you drank and punched, right?" ”

Xu Hongfei's tone softened again, his mood became more complicated, and he himself seemed to be stepping towards hell step by step.

Xu Hongfei knew that he couldn't avoid it, because many people had indeed seen the snake, and he couldn't get rid of it, and said: "My lord, Xiaomin admits that the big snake was put by Xiaomin in Xiaomin's brother's house, but it's not illegal to put a snake, right?" ”

Song Ruilong said: "Of course, this is not illegal, but if you are premeditated, then you will break the law." Song Ruilong turned his head to look at Wei Bixiao and said, "Go outside and invite two more people over, one is Xu Hongguang's neighbor Zhang Huanghu, and the other is Zhao Jindao, the chef that day." ”

Wei Bixi quickly called the two people in.

At this time, the seven-step snake had already left, so he asked about the next Zhang Huanghu and Zhao Jindao who were still standing in the room.

Song Ruilong asked Zhang Huanghu to speak first.

Zhang Huanghu was tall and tiger-headed, and he spoke loudly, saying: "My lord, last night, Xiaomin heard a scream in the courtyard, it was a man's scream, and the sound was very miserable, as if he had seen a ghost. At first, Xiaomin thought that Xu Yuanwai's family had any activities, so he didn't care, but Xiaomin heard the next day that Pang Jiaxiong, who was drinking at Xu Hongguang's house last night, died. Xiaomin thought that the scream might be from Pang Jiaxiong. ”

Song Ruilong listened to Zhang Huanghu's words, and then let him leave, and then he looked at the man with the tiger's back and waist, and said: "Zhao Jindao, this county knows that your cooking skills are among the best in the entire Ping'an County, can you tell me what happened when you were in the chef that day?" ”

Zhao Jindao was not afraid at all and said: "Back to the adult, that day, when Xiaomin was cooking, this Xu Hongfei gave Xiaomin a package of seasoning, saying that the seasoning was spicy and the best for wine." He instructed Xiaomin to bring the plate of pork kidneys with seasoning to the upper room. Xiaomin has been a cook for more than 30 years, and he has seen all the spices in the world, but he has never seen the package of white powder, so Xiaomin secretly kept a little bit and wanted to study it in the future. ”

Zhao Jindao took out a bag of things from his arms and gave it to Song Ruilong and said, "My lord, please see, there is still a little bit of white powder in that packet, and Xiao Min hasn't had time to open it yet." ”

Song Ruilong opened the package of medicine and let Xu Hongfei look at it: "Xu Hongfei, honestly, what is this package of medicine?" ”

Xu Hongfei only glanced at it and told the truth, and said: "This is Xiaoyaosan, I heard that this medicine can make a person very excited and happy." Xiao Min bought it from a monk, and that night, after trying it with a few friends, Xiao Min said yes. They're having a lot of fun. ”

Song Ruilong put the bag of Xiaoyaosan on the table and said: "Xiaoyaosan will certainly not use any damage to people who are healthy, but for a person with heart disease, it is poison." You're not trying to make the people who drink at your house happy, right? You want Pang Jiaxiong's heart to beat faster, and then you let Pang Jiaxiong go to see the big snake. You should know that Pang Jiaxiong is most afraid of snakes, but you let Pang Jiaxiong see the snake at that time. Pang Jiaxiong let out a scream when he saw the snake, and he was actually dead after screaming. In order to create the illusion that Pang Jiaxiong died because of too much drinking, you used silver to buy off the two brothers, Gao Shan and Gao Tian. Do you want the county to call you in from the heavens and mountains? (To be continued......)
