Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 133 Interrogation, The Truth ([-] in [-])

Du Hao rushed into the second hall excitedly, "My lord, Wei Tong has been caught!"

Mo Zhennan, who was still in fear and worried about whether Wei Tong could be captured, stood up abruptly when he heard the words. He was so excited that he overturned his chair. The movement was so frightening that Dahei's hair stood on end and he let out a mournful meow. Just jumped on Chen Xiao's lap.

Mo Zhennan straightened his sleeves excitedly, strode out and said, "Quick! Take me there quickly."

Under the long corridor of the yamen, a few solitary lamps are cold, and the moon is covered by dark clouds above the head.

Wei Tong was wearing only a pair of obscene trousers and was tied to a vermilion lacquer column. Seeing this, Mo Zhennan didn't react for a while.

"This, this is?" Mo Zhennan stared and said, "What's the matter?"

Du Hao said with a tired smile: "My lord, you don't know. When we went to catch this boy, he was making out with the little lady. He was naked, only these pants left."

"Woooo!"

Wei Tong was stuffed with a cloth ball, unable to speak, he could only whimper.

Mo Zhennan seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly told the guard next to him: "Go and bring two comfortable chairs over here."

The chair moved over, and Mo Zhennan asked Wei Qi and Chen Xiao to sit down with a smile on his face.

It could be seen that Mo Zhennan was genuinely happy to have Wei Tong captured.

Wei Qigui is the prince, his status is much higher than that of Mo Zhennan, so he sat down naturally.

But Chen Xiao was different, Mo Zhennan was an elder to him, Mo Zhennan didn't sit down, and it was difficult for him to sit down, the chair behind was used by Dahei as a sleeping mat.

"Take the thing out of his mouth."

Mo Zhennan ordered Du Hao.

As soon as Wei Tong's mouth was free, he began to shout about injustice.

Against the backdrop of the silence of the night, Wei Tong's voice appeared louder and more distant, as if he could go straight into the night and reach the moon palace above his head.

Startled the night birds resting among the trees.

Mo Zhennan's face turned cold, he thought he was noisy, and shouted: "Shut up!"

Wei Tong was so frightened that he hurriedly fell silent, his eyes were full of panic.

When the night wind blew, Wei Tong couldn't help shivering, and the flesh on his body also trembled a few times.

"Ah!"

Wei Qi lazily nestled on the chair, heard the words, sneered, lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at the fat Wei Tong, smiled disdainfully, and looked at Da Hei who was sleeping comfortably and unmoved , with long arms all over his body, regardless of Dahei's struggle, he insisted on pulling it into his arms.

Not to mention, summer nights are still a bit chilly.

Mo Zhennan stepped forward with a cold face, "Tell me, what is your relationship with Jingkong?"

Wei Tong thumped in his heart, and quickly explained the relationship between the two of them: "Returning to the lord, I have nothing to do with Jing Kong. Although we both work at the dock, I rarely talk to him. He has a bad temper. Big and mean, no one likes to get too close to him."

"He's good at gambling. He only earns a hundred pennies a day after working hard at the pier. Everyone is old and young. No one wants to lend him money, so everyone hides from him. of."

"My lord, please be aware that everything I say is the truth."

Another gust of wind came.

"Ah!"

Wei Tong couldn't help but sneezed again.

Mo Zhennan's sharp eyes stared straight into those terrified eyes, seeing that Wei Tong didn't seem to be lying, he turned his head to look at Chen Xiao, and asked, "Ah Heng, what do you think about this matter?"

Chen Xiao glanced at Wei Tong, and slowly took out a piece of rag from his bosom, Wei Tong's face changed drastically the moment he saw the piece of rag.

He wanted to hide it and said: "This is not mine!"

"Not mine!"

Wei Tong was in shock.

In my heart, I scolded all eight generations of Jing Kong's ancestors.

It's all his fault, he insisted on hiding the silver on someone's roof, and entrusted him to help him get it back. If he had known that such a mess would be made, he would not go even if he was given ten taels of silver.

Chen Xiao looked at him indifferently, even Du Hao could tell that Wei Tong had no silver 300 taels here, let alone the other three.

Chen Xiao stretched out his hand casually, and Mo Zhennan hurriedly took the rag.

He took another step forward, meeting Wei Tong's eyes, "Where were you on the night of July 27?"

Wei Tong twisted his body, faltering and saying: "I, I am at Yanliu Bridge."

That afternoon, after receiving his wages, he ran to Yanliu Bridge non-stop, where he ate and ate until very late before coming back.

Chen Xiao's handsome face was usually cold, and he looked at Wei Tong slightly coldly: "Before you returned to your residence, when you passed by the water alley, did you see anything?"

Water Lane is the alley where Jiao Datou's accident happened.

Coincidentally, the place where Wei Tong lives happens to need to pass the water alley.

Wei Tong thought about it seriously, with a dazed expression on his face, he almost murmured: "I was drunk at the time, and I couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality. I vaguely saw someone hitting another person with something, and that person was Lying on the ground motionless, let that person smash it desperately."

"But it's also possible that I'm hallucinating." Wei Tong looked at a few people and giggled, "After all, I drank too much at the time, and I couldn't walk steadily. I don’t even remember going back.”

"Besides, who would be so stupid, just being beaten by others and not knowing how to fight back."

Hearing this, Mo Zhennan was terrified, he couldn't believe what he heard, and hurriedly asked: "Do you remember what those two people looked like?"

"You guys really take my dream seriously?" Wei Tong was surprised.

Mo Zhennan: "Say it!"

Wei Tong hurriedly said: "I didn't see clearly the one lying there, but the one who hit the person seems to be Jing Kong?"

Hearing Wei Tong's words, Mo Zhennan's heart beat wildly.

At this moment, he was extremely sure that the murderer who killed Jiao Datou was Jing Kong.

Seeing that Mo Zhennan was agitated, Chen Xiao helped him sit down, and then asked Wei the same question.

"Do you remember why Jingkong came to you the next day?"

Wei Tong was shocked: "How do you know that he came to look for me?"

Chen Xiao didn't reply to him.

Wei Tong sneered, thinking of Jing Kong's deception to him, he hated his teeth: "The kid lied to me that he hid all his savings under the roof tiles of the house near the right side of the water alley." Yes, let me help him get it back, I agreed to him in a moment of soft-heartedness, but who the hell knows that I climbed up to the roof and searched around but didn't find a dime, and when I went back to ask him again, But I couldn’t find him no matter what, that kid didn’t even come to the pier.”

In fact, Wei Tong wanted to help Jingkong because of his wealth, and Jingkong would give him a little money. He was really as kind as he said he was soft-hearted, but Chen Xiao didn't expose him.

Chen Xiao: "So you listened to him, but not only did you not find any money on it, but you also heard that someone died in the water lane. You were afraid that the government would find you eventually, so when I took out this rag, You are in a hurry to deny it, because you are afraid that the government will suspect you."

"But now, you have recruited them all."

Wei Tong was taken aback, then drooped his head, acquiescing to Chen Xiao's statement.

"Later, I thought about it carefully, and began to suspect that Jing Kong didn't really ask me to help him get the silver. I remembered the scene I saw that night, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was real. I wasn't dreaming, Jing Kong was just To kill someone, he knew that I found him, so he thought of a way, and then he found me and asked me to help him get the silver."

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. My eyes and hearts were full of money. Later, when I looked back, Jingkong was addicted to gambling and money like his life. How could he tell me where the silver was hidden? In fact, Jingkong He just wanted to put the blame on me, he was sure that I would leave traces on the roof and be found by the government, and when I figured out that I was going to question him, I found that he was nowhere to be found."

Mo Zhennan's emotions fluctuated violently, and the veins on his forehead popped out. Now he finally found the murderer who killed Jiao Datou, but the murderer was already dead.

He hates it.

And Wei Qi doesn't care about Jiao Datou's death. What he really cares about is whether the mastermind behind these dozens of disappearances has anything to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty?

His scrutinizing eyes locked on Wei Tong, and Chen Xiao asked, "Do you have anything to do with the more than [-] missing cases in Wanli Township?"

Wei Tong shook his head violently: "This has nothing to do with me!"

Chen Xiao squinted his eyes slightly to look at him, with a warning in his eyes, if he tells half a lie, he will never let him go lightly!
Wei Tong was terrified by his terrifying gaze.

"My lord! This matter really has nothing to do with me."

Wei Tong looked at Chen Xiao, Mo Zhennan, Wei Qi, and Du Hao with burning eyes, eager to prove his innocence, and after realizing that Jing Kong would most likely kill someone and want to blame him, Wei Tong also turned to Jing Kong. Not a little bit of protection.

This time it was a real confession.

"To tell you the truth." Wei Tong said in a low voice, "Jing Kong visited me before and asked me if I was interested in doing a big event with him. If one is done, you can get 25 taels of silver, and 25 taels belong to one It was a huge sum of money, and my heart was moved at that time, and I asked him what the matter was, but he hesitated and refused to tell me."

"My heart was lifted by him. Later, after I questioned him, he told me that there was a wife from a wealthy family who couldn't give birth to a son, and now she was buying a son at a high price. As long as we can find a suitable one If you give him your son, he promises to give us a large sum of money."

"I thought about it carefully at the time, and there were quite a few poor families in Wanli Township. Many families wanted to sell their children for money, but they couldn't sell them for a high price, so I tried to find these people. But for some reason, I was feeling uneasy all the time, and then I found Jing Kong and told him, I quit this job."

At the end, Wei Tong turned into a mournful face, thinking of the rumors in the town these days, he said with a bitter face: "I never thought that these children were all kidnapped and deceived by Jingkong, let alone these children ended up All dead..."

Wei Qi stood up from the chair, Dahei was sleeping soundly, when suddenly he fell to the ground, the whole cat was in a daze.

He walked in front of Wei Tong, Jun's face was calm, and Wei Tong was shocked by the powerful aura on his body.

"Did Jing Kong say who ordered him to do this before his death?"

"Does he still have a gang?"

Wei Tong was so frightened by his menacing gaze that his whole body stuck to the pillar behind him.

"He, he said, was told by an old man wearing a mask, as long as he pulls someone over, he will give him 25 taels of silver."

"Yes, there should be no gang, it seems that he is doing it by himself."

"The old man wearing a mask?" Wei Qi asked back, "Have you never seen the real face?"

"See, I've seen it." Seeing Wei Qi, Wei Tong couldn't even speak, "Yes, it's scary."

"Scary?" Wei Qi frowned, "Could it be too ugly?"

Chen Xiao said lightly: "The face is disfigured."

Wei Qi looked at Chen Xiao.

Wei Tong hurriedly looked at Chen Xiao: "This young man is right, it is disfigured. Jing Kong said that the whole face is completely disfigured. Even his mother can't recognize who it is."

Wei Qi: "Do you know where he is now?"

"I don't know." Wei Tong shook his head, "It's Jing Kong who is contacting him, and Jing Kong said that the old man never told him who he is, and Jing Kong doesn't know who he is."

"I, that's all I know. If you want to know anything else, just ask Jing Kong."

Wei Tong watched them carefully.

Chen Xiao said expressionlessly: "He is already dead."

"Dead?" Wei Tong widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "How can a good person die?"

Wei Tong's answer was a moment of silence.

At this point in the interrogation of the case, everything has basically been clarified, but there is a new cloud of fog standing in front of everyone.

Seeing the money, Jingkong was motivated by greed and evil thoughts, and kidnapped and deceived 35 people. Unexpectedly, what he did was discovered by Jiao Datou, who was a policeman. Wan didn't expect to be bumped into by the drunk Wei Tong.

Therefore, in order to test Wei Tong, he set up a trap, just to transfer the suspicion of killing Jiao Datou to Wei Tong.

The murderer who killed Jiao Datou and the culprits in 35 missing cases have now been found, all of which were done by Jing Kong alone, and nothing is known about the man behind the scenes.

In the end, it was a waste of time, and the murderer they worked so hard to investigate ended up dead.

The missing persons they searched day and night also died.

This is not a good outcome for anyone.

However, the reality is so cruel.

Is the old man in Wei Tong's mouth the same person as the masked old man in Guo Ai's mouth?
Who is this old man?
Where did it come from?
Why do these things?
Does this old man have anything to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty investigated by Wei Qi?

Does it have anything to do with Chen Liang's death?

Too many doubts need to be answered.

There seemed to be too many complicated emotions brewing in the dark eyes, Chen Xiao closed his eyes, and after a while, slowly opened them again: "Let's untie it."

Du Hao didn't move.

Mo Zhennan repeated: "Untie."

Du Hao looked at him unexpectedly: "My lord, he knows Jing Kong, so he must not be a good person..."

"Untie." Mo Zhennan repeated.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's sudden visit to Anling County, and the fact that he is so concerned about the disappearance case, all these signs indicate that something big is quietly brewing.

He already had a vague feeling in his heart that there would be a bloody storm in the near future.

After Wei Tong got his freedom, he scrambled out of the Yamen.

It was already the middle of the night when Chen Xiao sent Wei Qi back to Qi Mansion.

Both brothers Jiang Haichao and Jiang Haiyun were waiting outside the door like door gods. When they saw Wei Qi coming back, they rushed forward to greet him. Both of them looked in a hurry, as if they had something important to report.

In the bedroom, Wei Qi took off his outer robe, casually put it on the chair, and nestled on the beauty couch with his whole body exhausted.

Jiang Haichao hurriedly presented the secret letter sent in the afternoon.

"Your Highness, this was sent from the capital."

It was sent from the capital, except for the emperor, there was no one else.

Wei Qi hurriedly took the envelope, and when he saw the urgent icon printed on it, his eyes flickered.

After reading the letter, Wei Qi stretched out his slender jade hand, and the tongue of flame wrapped around the letter paper. The bright flame instantly illuminated the room several degrees, and made his expression even more gloomy.

The flames burned in the bottom of his eyes, and after all the letters were reduced to ashes, he said in a cold voice for a long time.

"Leave early tomorrow morning."

"Back to Beijing."
