Datang Coroner

Chapter 18

Cao Jifan was crushed to the ground in embarrassment, his head and face covered with ashes.

Of course, he also looked angry: "What is Li County Magistrate doing?!"

Li Changbo didn't care about Cao Jifan's eyes swishing over him, he was still calm and calm: "I've never seen such a brazen person."

Cao Jifan's pupils shrank.

Before he had time to question, he heard Li Changbo ask, "How long has Chen Qiaoniang been having an affair with you?"

Not only Cao Jifan was stunned, but other bad people were also stunned.

What?County magistrate Li is not joking, is he?

Xie Shuangfan stepped forward and reminded in a low voice, "You can't talk nonsense about this matter."

"Height eight feet." Li Changbo's expression did not change, "With a horizontal knife. The index and middle fingers of his right hand are very callous."

"And, you are very familiar with adulterers." Li Changbo fixed Cao Jifan's eyes: "We have never said to the outside world that adulterers are tall and big."

In fact, Liu Dalang is already considered a strong man.

People taller than Liu Dalang are not very common.

Cao Jifan is so sure——

"In addition, I can't wait to destroy the palm print—"

Li Changbo paused for a moment, then glanced at Wang Erxiang: "Take off his shoes, and compare the footprints carefully."

Cao Jifan struggled: "Is Li County Magistrate's decision so child's play? Just relying on these points will convict me?"

Although Li Hairen is not as tall as Cao Jifan, he has great strength. Regarding Cao Jifan's struggle, he simply pressed down roughly——

Cao Jifan took a mouthful of the plaster on the ground.

Li Changbo said indifferently: "Of course it's more than that."

Wang Erxiang stripped off Cao Jifan's shoes and nearly fainted from the stink—he held his breath and thought: Probably when he offended County Magistrate Li.

Wang Erxiang held his breath, and his movements were very quick.

"It's exactly the same."

After Wang Erxiang checked, he quickly jumped far away.

Li Changbo looked at Cao Jifan: "Not convinced?"

Cao Jifan didn't open his mouth, for fear of getting another mouthful of ashes.

But the look is very stubborn.

Li Changbo ordered: "Go and call the owner of the wine shop."

Cao Jifan's eyes flashed, and then he panicked.

Li Changbo reminded him: "Frankness is always better."

Cao Jifan didn't hesitate too long: "It's true that Chen Qiaoniang and I are close."

Li Changbo nodded: "Continue."

"I also came to look for her that day." Cao Jifan continued, but his mouth was too dusty, so he couldn't help but change the subject: "Let me get up first."

Li Hai remained motionless, only looking at Li Changbo.

Li Changbo nodded in agreement.

"I bought a jar of wine at the liquor store. Then I went to find her—she said that her husband left that day." Cao Jifan said calmly, "But I didn't kill anyone."

"I will find out on my own." Li Changbo reminded again: "You just need to clarify things."

Cao Jifan then told how he passed by and how he had a tryst with Chen Qiaoniang.He also confessed that he was indeed hiding under the bed, but he left after finishing his business with Chen Qiaoniang.

An alibi was also provided: he still had to handle the case that day.So it's impossible to stay for too long.

Li Changbo didn't hesitate at all: "Purchase first."

Li Hai escorted Cao Jifan back.

Xie Shuangfan was stupefied a long time ago, but now he slowly woke up, but he was still full of confusion: "How do you know—it's him?"

"I guessed it." Li Changbo explained casually, but what was in his mind was Fushiyi.

He didn't know why this little lady was so keen.

This is not normal.

Xie Shuangfan obviously planned to break the casserole and ask the end: "How did you guess? What happened to the wine shop?"

Li Changbo withdrew his thoughts and patiently explained the basis of his guess to Xie Shuangfan.

"Between wine and meat, I think wine is more likely. So I lied to him casually. I didn't expect him to admit it."

Xie Shuangfan was speechless for a long time, but still considered a reminder: "You are the county magistrate of Chang'an County."

As a county magistrate, you have to be prudent and cautious!

"I know." Li Changbo looked at him inexplicably, obviously not understanding the deep meaning.

Xie Shuangfan was unable to complain about her own boss.

After all, it's still too young, too young!

Xie Shuangfan hates iron but not steel.

But Li Changbo called Mr. Chen over.

Mr. Chen came over tremblingly. He was old and his eyesight was dim. If it wasn't for his disciples to support him, he would probably be able to walk twice as slow.

In the end, Li Changbo simply moved his feet.

Li Changbo asked Mr. Chen: "Can we determine based on the shape and traces of the wound, whether the murderer is Cao Jifan?"

Old man Chen stared: "How to judge? The wound can only determine the murder weapon."

"According to the angle of inclination of the wound—" Li Changbo used such a strange word without thinking about it.

Old man Chen opened his old and dizzy eyes, obviously struggling to understand.

Li Changbo sighed and gave up automatically.

"Go back and sort out the evidence first." Li Changbo ordered, then looked at Wang Erxiang: "Go back and ask Li Hai and Master Xie to interrogate together."

Then, he's going to go.

Xie Shuangfan grabbed Li Changbo: "Where are you going?"

Li Changbo lowered his eyes: "I'm going to see a friend."

Li Changbo took Fang Liang out and changed clothes in his carriage.

Just standing at the gate, Li Changbo felt a little embarrassed again. He raised his hand, but he couldn't put it down for a long time.

Fang Liang asked, "How about I come?"

Li Changbo coughed, "I'll wait in the carriage."

Fang Liang responded, and thoughtfully waited until Li Changbo was far away before moving.

While knocking on the door, he thought to himself: My husband is still not good at dealing with people as always.

But thinking about it, it's really a bit embarrassing, after all, this is the first time Mr. Lang went to a girl's house to invite her...

Fang Liang thought about it and thought it wrong. As soon as Fu Shi opened the door, he saw Fang Liang's mysterious and wretched face.

Fu Shiyi wanted to close the door.But he still asked patiently, "Is there something wrong?"

After several face-to-face meetings, she certainly recognized Fang Liang.

Fang Liang lowered his voice, and quickly said his intentions: "My husband, please ask the girl to explain."

Fu Shiyi nodded and said, "Wait a moment."

Fu Shiyi finished the work he was still doing just now, changed into a cotton skirt, and then went out.

As soon as he went out, he asked Fang Liang, "Have you found the suspect?"

"Suspect?" Fang Liang repeated, and then he was very curious: "This word is strange——"

"Well," Fu Shiyi explained, "It's the person suspected of committing the crime."

Fang Liang chatted with Fu Shi again, but did not reveal the case at all.He just brought people to the carriage.

"Girl, please get in the car, our husband is already waiting." Fang Liang said honestly.

As Fu Shiyi got into the car, he thought to himself: This county magistrate Li is a smart man, and the people around him are also smart.Not only smart, but also deceptive.

Li Changbo had been waiting for a long time, and his fingertips were almost numb when they touched the table.

Seeing Fu Shiyi at this time, he didn't wait for her to sit still, and asked her: "He doesn't admit it, do you have other evidence?"

Fu Shiyi: ... You should ask your coordinator about this, County Magistrate Li!
