Chapter 165 The truth comes out

He raised his head three feet, and there was a god above him. He raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't know where the wind was coming from.Only the white cloth covering the corpse was half-covered on Yu's body, which was so white that it was dazzling.

Liu Erhu's face turned ugly to the naked eye. He stared at Mrs. Yu's body, and then looked away in panic. His body was unstable, and he fell to the ground with a thud. He stammered: "Sir... Sir, why is there something in the hall?Woman’s corpse?!”

He didn't know what happened in the court just now, or how he was arrested.The onlookers witnessed the entire process of Gongsun Zhuoyu's autopsy reasoning. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Liu Erhu, wanting to see how he would react.

"Why is there a woman's body in the hall? Well, it's a long story."

Gongsun Zhuoyu changed his sitting position, but finally felt uncomfortable leaning against the hard body, so he simply got up from the chair.Putting his hands in his sleeves, he walked down the steps step by step, pacing back and forth beside Yu's body: "This is a poor woman."

Liu Erhu swallowed his saliva, his face stiffened and he did not dare to speak.

Gongsun Zhuoyu leaned over and asked, "Her surname is Yu, her maiden name is Suyun, Liu Erhu. Look, isn't she very beautiful?"

Liu Erhu's cheek muscles twitched slightly uncontrollably, and a heavy cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Gongsun Zhuoyu liked this cat-and-mouse trick very much. He relived the incident that night bit by bit as if telling a story: "When Yu Suyun went to the market to buy cloth that day, she was abducted by a bad boy who fell in love with her beauty.When I returned to my home, I was lucky enough to escape, but I was still in shock.”

Liu Yaozu on the side straightened up slightly because he was mentioned in his words. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zhuoyu kicked him: "Kneel down and stay away!"

Is it honorable to rob civilian girls?

Liu Yaozu knelt down in panic, with a smile on his face.

Gongsun Zhuoyu shook his sleeves and continued: "It was dark and the roads were slippery. Yu Suyun was in a hurry to go home, but he didn't expect to be targeted by a gangster. The gangster had no wife and had lived alone for many years. He was extremely hungry and thirsty. Seeing her beauty, heThen he wants to do something evil..."

He made a gesture to simulate a crime scene: "The other party covered her mouth from behind and dragged her all the way to the red mud road. After raping her, he strangled her to death with the bow and arrow he carried. Yu Suyun struggled desperately and scratched the criminal's neck.…”

Liu Erhu lowered his head and felt that the blood all over his body was flowing backwards, and even his neck felt strange. He unconsciously raised his hand to cover it, and then put it down again as if he was electrocuted.

Gongsun Zhuoyu brushed away Yu Suyun's messy hair, and there was a small jade bead hidden inside. It was obvious that he had worn a hairpin and other accessories.After being forcibly taken away, a strand of hair was accidentally left behind: "Not only that, after the gangster killed her, he also took away her jewelry. Don't you think so, Liu Erhu?"

The last sentence cuts straight to the heart and lungs.

Liu Erhu raised his head angrily: "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu was annoyed the most by such prisoners. They had irrefutable evidence but still had to make excuses, which not only caused physical pain, but also wasted time.He was a little tired from standing, so he simply sat on the steps. Anyway, he had the final say in this little shabby place, and he hadn't received any news recently that a senior official came down to inspect it.

Gongsun Zhuoyu pointed at his neck from the distance: "You have a scratch on your neck. Where did it come from?"

Liu Erhu bit him to death and refused to acknowledge it: "This is what a villain does when he sleeps at night to catch mosquitoes without scratching them."

Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded: "That's okay, that makes sense. Although your nails are so short that they can't even scratch your skin, I'll just cut them off for now."

The people outside shouted anxiously: "Sir, you must not let this murderer go!"

Here, doors are next to each other, and every house is next to each other. No one has one or two female dependents, and every now and then they have to go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and wild fruits.After what happened, if Liu Erhu was not arrested, they would not dare to go up the mountain again.

Liu Erhu's face turned pale: "I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu thought to himself that if you said you didn't kill him, you didn't kill him.Looking Liu Erhu up and down, he only felt that he was slovenly: "I think you are big and thick, not like a careful person, and the bow and arrow will affect the life span when it comes into contact with water. I'm afraid you haven't cleaned up the bowstring after it strangled someone.? Hmm... If I go to your house now, I might be able to find a bloody bowstring."

The arrester immediately took the order: "Sir, I will lead people to search!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu clasped his hands together and fiddled with his thumbs gently: "Don't worry, remember to search his home for women's jewelry. If not, go to the nearby pawn shop and ask if a man dressed as an Orion has been pawned in the past three days.Gold and silver hairpins and other items.”

The murderer took away the woman's personal accessories, either for money or as a souvenir to satisfy his inner collecting habit.If Yu Suyun's hairpin was not found in Liu Erhu's home, it could only be in a place like a pawn shop.

Liu Erhu had never seen such a person in his entire life.There was no one around when he raped and killed Yu Suyun, but the county magistrate in front of him seemed to have witnessed it with his own eyes, describing the process of his murder accurately.The smile on his face was actually quite frightening.

"My lord, my lord!" Liu Erhu suddenly panicked, banged his head on the ground, and cried bitterly: "The villain killed her because he was temporarily obsessed. He didn't mean it, he didn't mean it!"

Now that the case has come to light, the people outside are in an uproar. They originally thought that wealthy businessmen and dog officials were colluding. Who would have thought that the truth of the case would be revealed as soon as Gongsun Zhuoyu changed hands, and the murderer really was someone else.

Putting aside the time it took to arrest and search, it only took him less than half an hour to deduce the real murderer, which is simply incredible.

The wealthy businessman was thoughtful and waved his fan. Seeing that the noodle vendor was also crowding in the crowd to watch the fun, he asked aloud: "Didn't you say that your county magistrate is fatuous and incompetent? Why did you meet him today?", but he is quite clever."

The noodle vendor scratched his head and was puzzled: "I don't know about that. God knows why he didn't sleep in the government office today, but started a case instead."

Du Lingchun smiled and said rarely, "This man is as wise as a fool."

At this time, everyone in the hall was on their backs.Gongsun Zhuoyu picked up the hem of his official robe and kicked Liu Erhu upside down: "He's already dead and you told me it was unintentional. I wish you had admitted it earlier. You're wasting my time!"

After speaking, he walked up to the high seat in a few steps, slapped the gavel tree hard, and his voice shook the court: "The criminal Liu Erhu raped and killed Yu Suyun, a good family girl, on the evening of the 26th, and robbed her property. The evidence is conclusive, and the crime is inexcusable.He is now being held in prison to await trial! Retreat!"

Liu Erhu stood up in panic and was about to say more. Unexpectedly, the government officials on both sides struck him with water and fire sticks, captured him directly, and dragged him down to the hall.

Liu Yaozu knelt down in the hall. He was relieved at first, and then he asked politely and flatteringly: "Sir, where are the common people?"

"You?" Gongsun Zhuoyu almost forgot about him. He took off his official hat and threw it to the master. He walked to Liu Yaozu and knelt down, compared the numbers with him, and threatened him fiercely: "Go back and ask your father to send you threeThe thousand taels of silver notes will be used as compensation for my mental loss and sleep compensation, otherwise you and Liu Erhu will go to jail together!"

Liu Yaozu was dumbfounded and said in surprise: "Huh?! Sir, this, this, this... what are these mental damage fees and sleep compensation fees?"

No matter how rich the Liu family is, the banknotes are not blown by strong winds. Gongsun Zhuoyu belongs to Pixiu, right?!

Gongsun Zhuoyu: "That's not important. What's important is the three thousand taels of silver!"

After saying that, he stood up from the ground and washed his hands with the help of a servant. Suddenly he felt hungry in his stomach. Then he realized that he hadn't eaten all day. He said to his master, "I'm going out to eat a bowl of noodles. I'll do the rest for you, sir."Aftermath.”

Wan Zhongshan was used to it, and he never dealt with the aftermath, and touched his little goatee: "Sir, go ahead, remember to pay, and don't pay on credit for a bowl of noodles."

How much salary can a seventh-grade county magistrate have? In addition, Gongsun Zhuoyu likes extravagance and has numerous servants. He also likes to drink wine in the gold selling cave. No matter how much money he has, it is not enough to make up for it. Credit is a common thing.

Gongsun Zhuoyu waved his hand and went out, not knowing whether he heard it or not.

The system followed him all the way: "Dear, did you just... accept a bribe?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu glanced at it and pretended to be dumbfounded: "Take a bribe? What kind of bribe? Did I accept money from someone?"

There is none at the moment, but it won't be certain when the Liu family sends money.

The system remained silent, waiting to call him again next time.

When Gongsun Zhuoyu walked out of the gate of the government office, he happened to see Qian standing on the roadside, holding a few coins in his hand, asking the passing coachman to drag Yu Suyun's body back to his hometown.However, others thought it was unlucky because of the lack of money and refused to accept the business.

The wealthy businessman didn't leave. He shook his head and sighed when he saw this, and winked at Du Lingchun.The latter understood immediately, frowned without any trace, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and stepped forward. However, before he could speak, a green figure appeared in front of him.

"Old man, are you in trouble?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu walked down the stone steps and walked to Qian's side. His voice was clear and he seemed more approachable than in the courtroom.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qian was leaning on crutches, trembling and knelt down, choking with tears: "Thank you, sir, for redressing Suyun's injustice. The old woman plans to take her body back to her hometown and bury her alive."

Yu Suyun's body was lying nearby and was returned to his family after the case was concluded.Qian didn't mind anything, and used his old hands to tidy up her messy hair: "This child's parents died early, and there are no relatives left in her family. People are dead, and their souls should have a place to go."

Gongsun Zhuoyu took a look and said, "That's it."

After he finished speaking, he casually summoned the yamen officer on duty at the door, who was a good man, and said, "Call two brothers to help this old man take his daughter-in-law's body back to his hometown, so that he can take good care of it."

The yamen officer cupped his fists and accepted the order: "Yes, sir!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Qian was so grateful that she didn't know what to do. She lowered her head and cried: "Your Excellency is Master Qingtian, Master Qingtian. When I go back, I will carve a memorial tablet for longevity and pray for you."

Gongsun Zhuoyu's case was solved, and he was really at a loss if he didn't gain some reputation. He helped Qian and said, "I admire you sincerely for your loyalty. What's more, as a parent official, I should protect the peace of the people. It's just my duty."It’s just a matter of thanks, no need to say thank you.”

After saying this, he sent someone to send Qian away, and then straightened up. However, with a casual glance, he found a feminine man in purple standing not far away, and he couldn't help but froze on the spot.

He couldn't explain why, but Gongsun Zhuoyu always felt that the other person was familiar, as if he had seen him before somewhere.

Just as he was about to think about it, the other party had already stepped forward, with a graceful figure and an indescribable ease and calmness.The voice was soft and cool, reminiscent of a cold-blooded poisonous snake, with a smile on his face: "Master Gongsun, my master would like to invite you to have a glass of water and wine."
