Chapter 203 homicide
While Chen Menger and Xia Dongmei were arguing endlessly, the county magistrate came out, sat on the high platform, and patted the gavel.

"quiet!"

Chen Meng'er knelt on the ground and cried, "Master County Magistrate, you must be the master for the women!"

Sunan's gaze scanned the hall, and when he saw Gu Rao, he paused for a moment, and a deep look flashed across his eyes.

"You speak out your grievances first."

Chen Meng'er said, "Yesterday, after my husband and I quarreled in the lotus pond, we haven't seen each other again. After we got back, although we knew that he didn't come home, I was angry. Moreover, I knew very well that I could control his legs. I can't control his heart, he even said that if I stop him from finding another woman, he will divorce me, so I didn't send anyone to find him."

"Unexpectedly, early this morning, someone informed me that he drowned in the lotus pond!"

"He probably didn't drink yesterday, so there's no possibility that he didn't look the way and fell and drowned. It could only be someone else's vendetta!"

"The woman now suspects two people."

He glared at Gu Rao viciously, pointed at her and said, "One is her, who just forged a grudge against me yesterday, and it is very likely that she killed my husband for revenge."

"Yesterday she pushed me into the water and almost drowned me. I doubt it. If there weren't so many people around, she might have ignored me and let me drown in the water." !"

"This woman has a vicious heart and can do anything!"

He pointed at Chen Meng'er again.

"My lord, this little slut is my husband's concubine. I suspect that she killed my husband with love. Maybe my husband doesn't want to give her the position of wife, so she will..."

Xia Dongmei cried pear blossoms with rain.

"Master County Magistrate, the little girl loves the sea so much, and regards the sea as the only hope to get out of the brothel, how could she kill her own hope with her own hands?"

"He must have been killed by the poisonous woman Chen Menger!"

"She wants to blame the little girl!"

Sunan asked someone to carry the body up.

Gu Rao looked subconsciously, but found that there were not only one corpse lifted up, but two corpses. Could it be that more than one died?
It's a pity that it was covered with a white cloth, so she couldn't see who was inside.

Her doubts were resolved in the next moment.

Following Sunan's order, the white cloth covering the corpse was untied.

When he saw the two stiff and blue-faced people lying on the ground, Gu Rao froze all over and looked at one of them in disbelief.

It was the vendor selling lotus lanterns that I saw yesterday!

Bie Ye also recognized that person at a glance, raised his hand to cover Gu Rao's eyes, held her hand with the other hand, and said softly, "Don't look."

Sunan on the stage saw this scene, his slender peach eyes slightly narrowed, and the hands under the sleeves gradually tightened, but quickly relaxed.

"Do you know these two?"

Xia Dongmei said, "I only know Hai Hai. I don't know who the other is. He looks very unfamiliar. I've never met him before."

After a pause, he continued, "Even if I might have seen him, I can't remember how ordinary he looks."

Chen Meng'er said, "I only know my husband, Zhu Dahai, and the other one has never met me."

Sunan looked at Gu Rao and Bie Ye.

"And you, do you know both of them?"

Bie Ye said, "It can be counted as knowing, or not knowing."

The corner of Sunan's mouth curled up in a warm arc.

"Oh?"

"tell me the story."

The atmosphere was a bit tense.

Gu Rao frowned slightly, and looked up at Sunan, always feeling that he seemed to be different from before this meeting.

What is different, she really can't say.

Hope is an illusion.

Bie Ye said, "My wife and I live in Wild Boar Town. Yesterday I came to the county to do business. I only met the two deceased once."

Sunan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So you saw them last night?"

Bie Ye hummed.

If you have seen it, you have seen it, if you have not seen it, you have not seen it. This cannot be refuted, but this cannot be used to convict them, right?

A middle-aged man pointed to Bie Ye and said, "This man was the last one who went shopping at Lao Li's stall yesterday."

Sunan asked, "Are you sure he's the last one?"

The middle-aged man, that is, Lu Qinghe nodded firmly.

"Old Li and I usually do business on that street. Yesterday I closed the stall only a little less than him. When I closed the stall, I even greeted him."

"He said he would close the stall and go back early to accompany his granddaughter when he started another business. His granddaughter Xiaohua is only five years old, and she will be afraid of the dark if it is too late."

"When I left, I saw the couple go to his booth and heard that they had negotiated the price. I don't know what happened next."

"However, what I can be sure of is that they must be Lao Li's last guests. Xiao Hua is the only blood left by Lao Li's son. He usually loves Xiao Hua the most, and he is reluctant to let Xiao Hua wait at home alone for so long."

Sunan asked the person who came to report the case today.

"When did you find their bodies?"

Zhou Chang said, "At five o'clock, the sky was already dark at that time. When I passed by the river, I was worried that someone would fall into the water, so I went to check it out. I didn't expect to see two people floating on the river. , At that time, I was so scared that the gongs of the watch fell off."

"After discovering the body, I came to the Yamen to report the case as soon as possible."

Sunan asked, "Did you see any suspicious people when you passed by?"

Zhou Chang shook his head.

"No."

"When I passed by, there was no one there, and the corpse should have been floating on it for a long time. If it was just dead, it would not be possible to float up so quickly."

"And, if I'm not far away, I should hear their struggle."

Sunan asked again, "When you passed by before, did you go to the river to see it?"

Zhou Chang shook his head.

"It was still dark at that time, so I didn't dare to go there, for fear that my feet would slip and I would fall down by myself. If I fell at that time, I would not be so lucky. I happened to meet someone passing by before dark and rescued me. I usually walk around the lotus pond before dawn."

It's a bit of a pity to say this.

"If I had been more courageous and had gone to have a look earlier, maybe I could have saved their two lives..."

"That's two lives. I don't know if I fell into the water by mistake or was pushed down."

"If it fell by itself, how could the two fall together?"

Sunan was thoughtful.

After a while, he ordered to suppress, "Go and bring Wu Zuo up, let him examine the body carefully, and see if he can find any clues."

After Wu Zuo came up, he carefully inspected the two corpses.

The audience held their breath, waiting for Wu Zuo's conclusion.

a long time.

Wu Zuo put down the autopsy tools and said to Sunan, "My lord, these two people should not have died accidentally, but both died of homicide."

Sunan seemed to have expected it.

"what have you found?"
