With tears in his eyes, Zhou Haisheng looked at Su Xianrong and said, "Girl, if you can really save the old man's son, the old man is willing to give half of the family's property to the girl."

Only then did Su Xianrong see a trace of the helplessness of being a father in Zhou Haisheng's eyes.

Su Xianrong had long known that Zhou Zhenqiang was dead, even if the immortals were afraid that they would not be able to save him, she actually wanted to see the launch angle of the short arrow on Zhou Zhenqiang's neck.

After Su Xianrong saw it, he called the pulse at Zhou Zhenqiang's wrist, and said helplessly: "Zhou Yuanwai, prepare for the future, your son's body is already cold." Even the gods are powerless. ”

Zhou Haisheng was no longer so impulsive at this time, he said softly: "Got it!"

After Su Xianrong left, Zhou Haisheng said to his subordinates: "Report the case immediately!" I'd like to see how the county magistrate of Ping'an County tried this case. If he can't close the case within three days, the old man will make him unable to make this county order. ”

After Su Xianrong followed Song Ruilong out, walking on the street, Song Ruilong asked, "Rongrong, how is it?"

Su Xianrong said: "Zhou Zhenqiang's neck was pierced by a short arrow, which is true, but that arrow was not shot from the second floor."

Song Ruilong said in surprise: "What? Isn't that scholar the murderer who shot Zhou Zhenqiang? ”

Song Ruilong said: "Oh! So the scholar was wronged? The arrow he fired himself didn't hit Zhou Zhenqiang's neck, and the person who shot through Zhou Zhenqiang's neck was someone else, right? ”

Su Xianrong said affirmatively: "The short arrow that pierced Zhou Zhenqiang's neck was launched at an angle below Zhou Zhenqiang's neck, this angle was too far wrong, it couldn't have been shot by that scholar." Unless he fires a short arrow from the first floor of the Guest House, and he still shoots it while lying on the ground. He was able to shoot the short arrow into Zhou Zhenqiang's neck. ”

"However, many people saw the six short arrows fired from the opposite window. Let's go back and interrogate the scholar. ”

After Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong arrived at the county office, they immediately arranged for someone to set up the interrogation room, and he wanted to interrogate the scholar.

After the scholar was taken to the interrogation room by a servant, Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong interrogated him by candlelight.

The scholar sat on a chair and said calmly, "My lord." People were killed by small people, and small people pleaded guilty. ”

Su Xianrong had never seen such a person fighting to die, but she believed that there must be a reason for this.

Su Xianrong said: "Don't be in a hurry to confess your guilt first, you tell me what your name is first?" Where does the family live? ”

The scholar said: "Xiaomin's name is Shi Liangren, and his home is at No. 30, Roushun Lane, Anding Road."

Su Xianrong then asked: "Shi Liangren, you have to answer the questions raised by this girl honestly, if you have a false sentence, this girl will think that you are not suspected of murder."

Shi Liangren was in a hurry. Said: "Bad people, don't! People are killed by small people, and you can sentence them to death. ”

Su Xianrong had never seen such a person bent on death, and said, "Okay! If you want this girl to sentence you to death, you have to tell this girl why you killed Zhou Zhenqiang? ”

Shi Liangren said angrily: "Zhou Zhenqiang is a bastard, he should have died a long time ago." Xiaomin didn't regret killing him at all. ”

Su Xianrong said: "Can you tell us, why do you hate Zhou Zhenqiang so much?"

Shi Liangren fell into the memories and said, "My lord, can you listen to whether Zhenqiang should die this week?" Two years ago. At that time, Xiaosheng was taking the Xiucai exam. Qimeng makes food for Xiaosheng every day. That night, after Qimeng walked out of Xiaosheng's house, she never came back. ”

As Shi Liangren spoke, tears flowed down.

Su Xianrong comforted him and said, "Shi Liangren, don't get excited. Take your time. ”

Shi Liangren said bitterly: "After Qimeng left Xiaosheng's home, she disappeared. Afterward. Qimeng's body was found inside the Pingshui River. At that time, Qimeng's clothes were already in tatters, and her body was tortured to the point that it was unshapely. Xiaomin complained everywhere, but from the county order to the prefect, no one was willing to make decisions for Xiaomin, they said that Xiaomin's dream was accidentally drowned in the Pingshui River. It has nothing to do with anyone. However, this is not the case, Xiaomin inquired around, and finally learned that it was Zhou Zhenqiang's family that night who saw Zhou Zhenqiang's family put Qimeng into a sack and carried it back to Zhou Zhenqiang's house. Qimeng is a very strong woman, she must have been played by Zhou Zhenqiang, so she committed suicide by jumping into the Pingshui River. ”

Su Xianrong said: "This is just your speculation, how did your Qimeng die, you don't know, right?"

Shi Liangren said angrily: "Qimeng was played to death by Zhou Zhenqiang, and I have killed Zhou Zhenqiang now, which can be regarded as revenge for Qimeng." My lord, I don't need to judge it. Zhou Zhenqiang was killed by Xiaomin, you just need to sentence Xiaomin to death. ”

Su Xianrong looked at Song Ruilong and said, "How do you think this case should be tried?"

Song Ruilong said: "Put him in prison first, and then make a verdict after the doubts of the case are clarified."

When two officials escorted Shi Liangren to leave, Shi Liangren shouted: "My lord, the little people are guilty. Xiaomin is a murderer, and you can sentence Xiaomin to death. ”

After the two officials escorted Shi Liangren away, Su Xianrong said curiously, "Brother Song." After so many years of trying cases, it is the first time I have seen such a person who is bent on death. ”

Song Ruilong said: "The more he wants to die, the more it shows that he is not a murderer." The murderer is someone else. ”

Su Xianrong sighed: "Hi! That's not a problem. This week, Zhenqiang is a well-known bully in Ping'an County, I don't know how many people have been harmed by him, and I don't know how many people in Ping'an County will look forward to his death. If you want to say that the person who shot him with a short arrow, then many of the people present were suspicious. Where do you start? ”

Song Ruilong said: "Shi Liangren is bent on death, which shows that he must be inextricably linked with the real murderer, and he is the one who resisted the real murderer." The production style of the short arrow that shot Zhou Zhenqiang was exactly the same as the short arrow fired by Shi Liang, so it cannot be ruled out that Shi Liangren's short arrow and bow and crossbow were also provided by the murderer. ”

When Song Ruilong said this, Su Xianrong felt more and more detailed about the case, but for Su Xianrong, it did not make her feel the slightest joy.

Su Xianrong said: "Brother Song, do you really want to find out about this case?"

Song Ruilong saw that the bully Zhou Zhenqiang died, and his heart was also very happy, if he was an outsider, he could not care who was the murderer at all, but Song Ruilong couldn't, he was a county magistrate, he couldn't do that, and besides, this was a homicide case, it was to be reported to the court, no matter who was killed, he had to find out the truth.
