Chapter 42 arrest the murderer
Liu Cheng was stunned and sweating profusely, feeling speechless.
The onlookers only felt that the case was amazing until now. With Liu Cheng's behavior, he was indeed extremely cunning. He looked at Liu Cheng eagerly and waited for his defense.
Liu Cheng cried out for his wrongfulness and cried, "Sir, villains have always been honest and honest, and are definitely not such cunning people. What the adults say is just conjectures and speculations. It is not facts. I hope you can make a clear decision."
Zhao Rong sneered and said loudly, "I have expected you to argue and deny it. If there is no factual basis, how could I say this? If so, you and your neighbors may not be convinced."
When the onlookers inside and outside the government heard this, they thought to themselves, "What Lord Zhao said is true, if there is no basis, how can we believe it?" But I don't know how he knows it?"
Just as everyone was speculating, Zhao Rong heard loudly say, "Liucheng, you can still live if you commit evil deeds in heaven, but you can't live if you commit evil deeds in your own way. Do you want me to call my mother-in-law Liu to come to the court to testify?"
Liu Cheng was shocked and did not dare to let the mother-in-law Liu testify in court, so he quickly changed his words, "The villain should die for ten thousand times, and should not deceive the adults. I hope the adults will forgive him. The villain did meet his sister yesterday and borrowed money from her, but the death of her sister has nothing to do with the villain. The villain did not conspire to murder his sister Liu."
Zhao Rong did not interrupt, but said lightly, "If you want to clear your suspicion, just start from scratch what you know."
Liu Cheng said, "The day before yesterday, the villain was short of money from gambling these days, so he had no choice but to come to Dongcheng to borrow some silver for his sister. When he arrived at his sister's house yesterday, I persuaded her first, but my sister refused to lend me money, so I left angry. When I waited until the evening, I knew that my sister was nothaved and would probably go out secretly at night, so I thought about arresting her for the night and forcing her and her adulterer to give me some silver. So I went to my sister's house at night, hiding behind the house while the night was dark, observing the movements in the house."
"As expected, at night, my sister left home. The villain followed him from afar, intending to catch the adulterer. But he saw my sister slanting into the street from the back road. Soon, my sister indeed entered the adulterer's house. The villain was very embarrassed when he saw this scene. He originally wanted to expose the affairs of her and her adulterer, but I thought that my sister would take me with me as usual, so I resisted the evil thoughts in my heart and thought that when my sister came back in the evening, she would tell her about borrowing money."
"The villain returned to his sister's house alone, waiting for her to return. Unexpectedly, she hadn't seen her sister for a long time. The villain couldn't help but feel anxious, so she came out to find her sister again. Unexpectedly, at the intersection, the villain was crushed a few times. When he looked carefully, he almost scared the villain to death. He was only one person. The villain raised his courage and shouted, but he did not see it. In the darkness, the villain carefully identified it and recognized that it was the villain's sister. When he touched his nose, he was completely gone and had already died! The villain was extremely frightened, his whole body was cold, and he didn't know what to do. He hurriedly sneaked home, but fortunately no one could see it. If it were not known, others would have suspected that it was the villain who killed his sister because he couldn't borrow money. Even if there were hundreds of people, it would be difficult to tell."
"This is the whole story. The villain thought that no one would know about this matter, but he was discovered by the adults. Adults, every word the villain said is true, and there is no lie. If it is not true, he will be treated by the adults."
Everyone heard this and believed it and looked at Zhao Rong. Zhao Rong lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Liucheng, let's talk about who your sister was fooling around that night?"
Liu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "It's not someone else, but Wu Youcai, the shopkeeper of Wuwei Store!"
Everyone was very surprised. They didn't expect that the one who hangs with Liu for the last night was the shopkeeper of Wuwei Shop. Thinking of the words of the butcher Sun Sanlang before, everyone began to doubt Wu Youcai.
Just when everyone began to suspect that Wu Youcai was the real murderer, Zhao Rong took out a hairpin from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, "Liucheng, can you recognize this thing?"
Liu Cheng took the hairpin, looked roughly, nodded repeatedly, and said, "The villain knows it. This is the thing of the villain's sister. My sister likes this hairpin the most during her lifetime."
Zhao Rong took out the sachet again and handed it to Liu Cheng for him to identify it. After Liu Cheng identified it, he said, "Although the villain has a sachet, it is not this. Could it be that she bought it new?"
Zhao Rong did not speak, so he asked Wei Que to take the sachet back, put it in his sleeve, and asked, "I heard what you said just now, the body seemed to be at the entrance of the road and wasn't an abandoned house?"
Liu Cheng said in a daze, "How dare the villain bully Lord Meng? Last night, the villain clearly saw the body at the intersection behind Feng Er's family, but he never thought that the body would be moved to the abandoned house in Dongcheng. The villain was secretly confused yesterday, but he did not dare to speak. He thought that since the villain left, the evil body turned around and moved another place."
Zhao Rongsi asked, "Or when you find the body, the evil body will be hidden in the dark of the grass. The evil body only says that it has been discovered by someone. When you leave, you will move the body to the abandoned house."
While speaking, someone came in, and everyone looked at it and knew that it was Wu Dalang, the owner of the pancake shop.
Wu Dalang entered the government office, knelt down on the ground, and said, "The villain Wu Dalang bowed to him." At this time, Wei Que quietly told Zhao Rong from the side that the Wu Dalang cake shop was adjacent to the Wuwei Shop. Zhao Rong nodded and said, "It turns out to be Wu Da, let's get up. I wonder what kind of teachings are there in Wu Da?"
Wu Dalang stood up and said, "I don't dare to take it when I see the sect. The villain has suspicion and first reported it."
Zhao Rong said, "Let me talk about it in detail."
Wu Dalang said, "The villain is adjacent to Wu Youcai and opened a Wuji cooked cake shop. Last night, the villain made cooked cakes with his wife and children, and he could smell the sound of quarrels in the neighboring house. The villain has always been disagreeing with Wu Youcai, and he was curious and listened outside the courtyard wall. It turned out that Wu Youcai was quarreling with a woman. The villain could vaguely hear some words, as if the woman asked Wu Youcai for silver. Later, there was no longer any quarrel, so the villain went back to the house."
Zhao Rong said curiously, "Do you know who that woman is? Could it be that Wu Youcai's family?"
Wu Dalang shook his head repeatedly and said, "Wu Youcai's family had already died two years ago. Where did the wife come from? The villain listened to the door for a long time and thought it was strange, so he came out to report to the master. Who was that woman? The villain dared not speak irresponsible."
Zhao Rong nodded, and Wu Dalang retreated.
Just as the case became more and more confusing, Li Wuchang and Zhuo Xiaoliu rushed back. They had seen Zhao Rong and followed him with one person. They saw this man dressed up as a gangster, but he was fair and handsome.
Just as Zhao Rong was guessing the identity of this person, Li Wuchang replied, "Report to the adults, the villain is looking for it from many sources, but Wu Youcai has long disappeared. He only called Li Muwa."
Li Muwa already knew why this came, so he hurriedly said, "Sir, the villain has been staying in the Jingzhao Mansion prison these days and has never had contact with Liu, so it is absolutely impossible for me to kill Liu."
Zhao Rong also knew that Li Muwa would not be the murderer, so he ignored him and asked Li Wuchang about Wu Youcai's situation directly. Li Wuchang said, "The villain rushed to the Wuwei Shop. The shopkeeper said that the shopkeeper had gone out wearing a hat early in the morning and had not returned yet. The villain asked him where he was, but the guy just shook his head. The villain asked again in the neighborhood, but he couldn't get a message. I guess Wu Youcai knew that the murder had been exposed and fled quickly."
Zhao Rong nodded and said, "This Wu Youcai must be an important person, and you must find it."
Captain Xing, who was watching Zhao Rong's trial of the case, immediately suggested, "You can post a list to arrest the murderer and order the yamen runners to search everywhere."
