The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 46 Confessing his guilt and obeying the law, but not him?

The inside had been turned upside down, and the bed and surroundings were in a mess.

"Where is the silver?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Here!" Qian Haoduo hurriedly walked to a cabinet and said, pointing to a drawer that had been pulled out.

"Last night, there were no traces of theft, and the money was not lost." Zheng Nian thought, "But today, there is nothing left."

"What does the boss mean? Zeng Guangshou is not the murderer?" Qian Haoduo asked.

"Not entirely." Zheng Nian took a deep breath.

Qian Haoduo was puzzled, "Yes means yes, no means no, what does not all mean?"

"How many people died?" Zheng Nian asked.

"two."

"No, it's five."

Zheng Nian corrected, "I received a note on the way to Changle County today."

He took out a note and handed it to Qian Haoduo. After opening it, Qian Haoduo read it out, "Captain Zheng Da, Seventeen Pianfang, see you at No. [-] House, we are fully prepared."

"Who gave this to you?" Qian Haoduo asked.

"I don't know." Zheng Nian said, "It was a child who sent the letter, and Xu Zhu went to follow it. It probably didn't make any progress. It should be given to him by someone else."

Qian Haoduo took the paper and sniffed it, "This kind of low-grade rice paper should be specially used."

Zheng Nian tilted his head.

"The texture of the paper is very poor. It is made from a cheap shop, not from the palace beaters. There is a faint smell of rice on the paper. Such a strong smell must be fermented glutinous rice. If you can afford this kind of People who drink wine are extraordinary."

Qian Haoduo smiled, "Naturally he is an expert."

Most of the wine shops in ordinary wine shops are blended, pure fermented fermented glutinous rice, naturally the price is hundreds of times and thousands of times, and extraordinary people can enjoy it.

"It was because of this note that I was able to find the corpse." Zheng Nian held up the note and said, "The home of the corpse was stolen, and there was no money."

"Kill people just to rob money?" Qian Haoduo asked.

Zheng Nian shook his head and said, "I have observed that the book case is the same as the one here."

Qian Haoduo looked back, and saw that the book case was in a mess, the pen and paper fell on the floor, and the printing pad was also broken.

"What do you mean?" Qian Duoduo was puzzled.

"Will your silver be placed on the desk?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Looking for something!" Qian Haoduo rolled his eyes a few times, "What are you looking for?"

"IOU." Zheng Nian said decisively, "We have to go to the Changle County Yamen. The murderer in these cases is probably not alone."

Qian Haoduo followed quickly, "Boss, you mean that this Zeng Guangshou owed these three people money, and then killed them one by one?"

"Probably, but he was definitely not the one who moved the corpse. If it was him, there's no need to show up at Carpenter Sun's house now to search for IOUs and money."

Zheng Nian said, "There must be another person who did this for a certain purpose, but for what purpose... I can't think of it yet."

Along the way, Zheng Nian tried his best to recall the first case.

"Boss, Tailor Zhang didn't take all the silver from his home or from the tailor's shop, and even the corpse still held copper coins." Qian Haoduo said, "That shouldn't be him..."

"What did you just say?" Zheng Nian stopped suddenly.

"I said... Tailor Zhang..."

"Behind..." Zheng Nian had a flash of inspiration, "copper coins?"

"Yes, copper coins."

When he first came to this world, Zheng Nian was not used to it, but now he understands a very important point, "No normal person has so many copper coins in his home, right? Let alone the scattered copper coins, how many coins are there? gone."

"Did you break the piercing line during the fight?"

"There is no thread at the scene." Zheng Nian confirmed, "There is no rope, thread, or cloth at the scene, and the copper coins in the drawer are also scattered."

"Gambler!" Qian Haoduo said.

"Only for gamblers." Zheng Nian said, "Go! Go ask Zeng Guangshou."

When we arrived at Changle County, we saw Zhang Long running out in a hurry.

He stopped the tall man from the front, "Brother Zhang, can you..."

"Brother Zheng, find someone else. I lost my saber when I went out just now. I'll go look for it." Zhang Long scratched his head and strode out.

Qian Haoduo chuckled, "There are still such losers who lost their crickets just now, and now they lose their knives."

Zheng Nian found Xiao Si at the back door.

After Xiaosi reported the traditional newspaper, it was Zhao Hu who went out to greet him.

"Boss Zheng, little brother, this time is really good." Zhao Hu laughed.

"Recognized?" Zheng Nian was surprised.

"I admitted it before the fight, and everyone in the hall was scared to pee." Zhao Hu laughed, "The big case will be solved within a day, good luck, it is really good, and I must thank you, brother, for this meritorious service. A tael of silver, I'll share some with you."

"No need." Zheng Nian was surprised that Changle County had such a performance bonus, and it was not as good as my Da Chang'an, Mr. Xin YYDS!

"Master is waiting in the side hall." Zhao Hu said, "I don't know what's the matter, little brother?"

"I'm not going to join you sir. Brother Zhao, ask me if you can let me meet Zeng Guangshou?" Zheng Nian said, "After all, there is still something to investigate about the case in Chang'an County."

"Okay." Zhao Hu said directly, "Don't disturb the master about this matter, I will take you there, but you have to go and come back quickly, there will be a cricket competition in Changle County in the evening, and you will be rewarded with three taels of silver. Do you want to participate? "

"No, no, no." Zheng Nian was embarrassed and smiled inwardly, this group of idiots, are they so excited to play a bug?

The three were imprisoned, and Zeng Guangshou collapsed in the cell.

After opening the cell door, Zhao Hu turned and walked out, waiting outside.

Step forward.

A murderer like Zeng Guangshou didn't hit the board, but shrank timidly in the corner, didn't say a word, looked frustrated, and couldn't help sighing.

"Brother Zeng." Zheng Qingnian said, "A few days ago, I saw my sister-in-law."

Zeng Guangshou's face was displeased, and his worry suddenly turned into anger. He said sharply, "She's a bitch! Don't say anything more, I'm dead now, so I can control her?"

Since he didn't want to mention it, Zheng Nian didn't follow along, but said, "Brother Zeng, have you ever been to Tailor Zhang's house in Chang'an County?"

Zeng Guangshou was startled suddenly, his brows frowned, he turned from anger to timidity, and said in fear, "You...why are you asking this?"

"It seems that I have been there." Zheng Nian squatted on the weeds, "That is to say, Brother Zeng, you owe Tailor Zhang, Carpenter Sun, and Carpenter Chen a total of money."

Zeng Guangshou was shocked, and he was speechless for a long while. Finally, he shook his head and sighed, "Oh! Most of them are dead. You can ask, A Nian. If you want to know anything, I will tell you."

"Did you kill Zhang Tailor's family?" Zheng Nian asked.

"His wife is." Zeng Guangshou's heart thumped, with a determined look on his face.

"What about him and the other person?" Zheng Nian asked.

"You mean Tailor Zhang and that Cui'er in Cuiping Lane, right? I didn't kill them." Zeng Guangshou said.

"Then do you know who the murderer is?" Zheng Nian asked.

"His daughter-in-law, I watched his daughter-in-law hack the two of them to death on the bed." Zeng Guangshou said.

"Then why does his wife want to grab money?" Zheng Nian asked.

Zeng Guangshou smiled helplessly, "That was after his wife killed someone and fell into a coma. When I went to snatch her, he was still alive."

"Then why did his wife and you cut off the head of the corpse?" Zheng Nian asked again.

"What head?" Zeng Guangshou asked with his mouth half open.

Zheng Nian frowned, as if he had lost his patience, "You were alone at the time, and their heads disappeared, where did you hide?"

Breathing in suddenly, Zeng Guangshou covered his mouth, "Fuck his grandma, I told you what's going on! That kid told me about this!"
