Chapter 495: The Case of Hidden Corpse in the Cowshed (115)
Li Yanzhou looked at the Longxing Map with a little concern. She seemed to pay more attention to Han Tong than others. "Rivers, Rivers, Lakes and Seas" was the content of the note they dug in the iron box at the Yanmingshan Cemetery in Wuyang County that day.
Mrs. Qian thought for a moment before replying: "I only heard that Han Tong disappeared after committing the crime. As Han Tong's righteous brother, my master was silent and kept a low profile. As for the pursuit, Han Tong had gone to Wuyang County, how could he pursue him?"
Long Xingtu said: "Why are you so sure that Han Tong has never been to Wuyang County after committing the crime?"
"It was said by the master." Mrs. Qian's tone was natural, "Whatever the master said is right."
Long Xingtu shook his head helplessly, "Apart from Qian Qingmin's words, have you seen or heard others say where he is? I want to hear accurate testimony!"
"this……"
"Mrs. Qian, you must understand that every word you say now will determine whether you will be guilty! Because perjury is also a violation of national law!"
Mrs. Qian hesitated for a moment, and her voice gradually became sluggish. "Actually, I seem to have seen Han Tong, but it's just a back. I didn't see him in front of me. I'm not sure if it was him."
"Make it clear!"
"When Han Tong escorted the disaster relief gold to pass through Wuyang County, the custody and robbed him. The court issued a wanted order and ordered the master to cooperate in the investigation and arrest of Han Tong and his accomplices. During that time, the master was frowning all day long. The master was the magistrate of Wuyang County. If something happened in the territory under his jurisdiction, the master was responsible. If he could catch Han Tong, he would make up for his merits. But Han Tong was the master's brother. They established brotherhood since they were young, so the master was in a very difficult situation."
"Then what?"
"One night, the master and I had just been sleeping, and Luo Jiawu came to find the master. I didn't know what happened, but when I saw the master going out in a hurry, I couldn't rest assured, so I secretly followed the master. They went to the back door of the inn. I hid behind a big tree not far away. I saw someone open the door to answer. The night was too dark and I couldn't see clearly, but after they entered the door, I found a back view that was very familiar. I thought about it and guessed it might be Han Tong! After that, I went back home. The master came back after dawn. I asked the master to confirm, but the master said I was wrong. Han Tong didn't know where to go. He went to the inn because he asked Brother Ma to discuss the matter. Since the master said that Han Tong had not returned to Wuyang County, I naturally believed in the master."
Hearing this, Long Xingtu and Li Yanzhou exchanged glances, and Li Yanzhou signaled Shiqiao to move a stool to invite Mrs. Qian to sit down.
Long Xingtu added: "Achu, serve tea."
Zhong Chu immediately brought tea to Mrs. Qian for moistening her throat.
After Mrs. Qian slowed down, Long Xingtu continued to ask: "Mrs. Qian, then what did you remember later? Have you ever seen someone who is suspected of Han Tong again?"
Mrs. Qian shook her head and said with a very affirmative tone, "I have never seen Han Tong again, because the master has confined me to leave the mansion. Although the master did not blame me for following him, the master was worried about my safety. In order to give me a memory, I was punished to stay in the mansion for one month."
Long Xingtu nodded, "It sounds like, you couple have a good relationship!"
