Demon detective

Chapter 117 The Way of Heaven
It turns out that real acupressure is not like being unable to move like in TV dramas.

Li Zhengmeng Zhicai's acupuncture points were tapped by Li Chan'er, but his body was still able to move, but his hands and feet were numb and he couldn't walk freely.

He stood leaning against the broken jar with difficulty, but his unconscious left hand couldn't lose what was in it no matter what.

This funny and embarrassing scene happened to be the best proof of Meng Zhicai's criminal facts!
"You...you..." Meng Zhicai looked at Xu Zhen and Li Chan'er, the horror on his face could be imagined, "You lied to me!"

"You are so cunning, if you don't set me up, how can you tell the truth?" Xu Zhen laughed.

"I don't understand..." Meng Zhicai was puzzled, "How do you know?"

"From the first time I saw you," Xu Zhen said bluntly, "I have been suspicious of you!"

"Ah?" Meng Zhicai was incredulous, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"What's impossible?" Xu Zhen said, "Before I saw you, I had carefully inspected the scene of the crime.

"First of all, many of the deceased showed signs of struggle, indicating that when the murderer poisoned them, they all tried to resist.

"Where there is resistance, there must be tearing.

"Secondly, after the deceased was poisoned, the seven orifices bled. If they were poisoned while sitting, the blood would naturally droop, but the blood of several of them had multi-directional flow and traces of adhesion.

"All this shows that in the process of moving the corpse, the murderer inevitably came into contact with the blood of the corpse, or let the blood drip onto the ground, and then cleaned it up.

"Finally," Xu Zhen said again, "Among those meals, there was a plate of spicy tofu that was broken, and there was almost no soup on the plate.

"I wondered if the murderer accidentally spilled the dish when he was serving the dish, and when he picked up the tofu and put it on the plate again, he broke the tofu.

"And the soup, did it also get on the murderer's clothes?

"It just so happened that I was wondering if there would be blood, tofu soup, and tear marks left on the murderer's body," Xu Zhen pointed at Meng Zhicai, "You just showed up!

"Didn't you realize that, of all the people, you were the only one wearing a brand new brocade gown?"

"Ah? This..." Meng Zhicai looked at his clothes and was immediately annoyed.

"It's the middle of the night," Xu Zhen said, "everyone is asleep, and when someone wakes them up suddenly, they naturally just put on some clothes and go out, and their hair is naturally not too neat, and you are dressed so decently, The bun is so neat, how can it not make me suspicious?

"Li Zheng," Xu Zhenyi pointed to the thing in Meng Zhicai's hand, "Let me see, the thing in your hand is the clothes you wore when you committed the crime, right?"

"Oh..." Meng Zhicai was trembling all over, but because of the acupuncture points being tapped, his fingers couldn't move at all.But even so, he still raised a second question, "No, you can't be so suspicious based on just one piece of clothing, right? Why, you don't doubt Li Qian?"

"Li Qian has three problems." Xu Zhen stretched out three fingers, "First, no matter how much Li Qian hates Meng Shaojun and his daughter, but a tiger never eats its own son, he shouldn't let his own son go;
"Secondly, Li Qian is so humble, he walks lightly, and it is not easy to complete the poison killing alone. Besides, Meng Shaojun's family is hostile to Li Qian, so it is not easy for him to poison him?"

"Then..." Who knows, Meng Zhicai didn't speak, but Li Chan'er next to him asked a question, "Don't you suspect that Li Qian colluded with others and conspired to murder someone?"

"Impossible!" Xu Zhen said affirmatively, "The third point I want to say is that even if Li Qian kills Meng Shaojun's family, as long as Li Zheng and Meng Zhicai are around, he will never be able to get Meng Shaojun's family property." .

"Li is the head of a village, so Li Qian will definitely not be allowed to inherit any property on the grounds that Li Qian has been expelled from Meng Shaojun's house.

"And Li Qian has no power, no power, no opponent at all.

"Unless..." Xu Zhen looked at Meng Zhicai, "Unless Li Qian cooperates with Meng Zhicai, the two of them will split up afterward, which is quite possible.

"However, through my tests, this possibility has obviously been overturned."

"Oh..." Li Chan'er nodded slightly, and finally understood Xu Zhen's meaning.

Before that, Xu Zhen deliberately framed Li Qian, saying that the purpose of Li Qian's murder was to inherit the family property, but at that time, Meng Zhicai, who was Li Zheng, hurriedly followed up, saying that Li Qian was not formally divorced and could still inherit the family property .

Such a sentence has already proved that Li Qian and Meng Zhicai are not accomplices.

And through this sentence, it also revealed Meng Zhicai's wolf ambition, which further confirmed the fact that he was the real culprit in this case.

"This is my plan," Xu Zhen said, looking at Meng Zhicai, "You wanted to blame Meng Zhichao and his wife, but we denied it.

"And once you deny them, it is very likely that you will be suspected, so you urgently need another scapegoat!

"And this scapegoat, I just found it for you, is son-in-law Li Qian.

"When you find out that Li Qian is more suitable as a scapegoat, you will naturally follow the trend and pass all the suspicions on him. That's how you fell into my trap!"

"..." Meng Zhicai had nothing to say.

"You are Lizheng," Xu Zhen continued, "Meng Shaojun's family was destroyed, and the family property will be handed over to the village to decide, and you can take the opportunity to embezzle some.

"But... I still can't figure it out, just for this reason, it shouldn't be the case, right?"

"Oh?" Meng Zhicai was suddenly surprised, "Could it be...you don't know my relationship with Meng Shaojun at all?"

Xu Zhen was slightly surprised and asked, "What's the relationship between you?"

"Ha...haha..." Meng Zhicai shook his head and smiled wryly, "You don't even know about these relationships, you just... can expose me, you are too evil! Why am I so unlucky? Counting that I will meet you three outsiders, alas..."

"Heaven bears the burden," Li Chan'er made a Xuanjiao gesture and read, "Good and evil are rewarded, and there is a cause and effect. Even if you have not met us, you will definitely not end well."

"Ah..." Meng Zhicai sighed, and said, "What a burden to God, you are right, this matter is indeed my sin, I admit it! Sigh..."

After a sigh, Meng Zhicai finally said frankly: "My uprightness was completely raised by Aunt Shaojun. I recognized her as my godmother when I was very young..."

Oh……

Only then did Xu Zhen understand that there is still such a relationship here.

"Of course, being Li Zheng is good for her. I can help her solve all the problems in the village and let more people sell raw materials to her at low prices." Meng Zhicai said, "So, I have always are involved.

"It's a pity...about half a year ago, I sent three carts of medicinal materials to Daguan City to deliver goods. How could I expect to encounter an accident, and was confiscated by the government as contraband. to come back...

"When I came back, Aunt Shaojun not only didn't want to find a way to get the goods, but instead asked me to pay for the three loads of medicinal materials. I couldn't afford to pay, so I kept freezing and making a lot of trouble.

"After that, she proposed to me again that she would give me a share of the bonus so that I would no longer participate in their business.

"It's only now that I understand that she thinks I've shared too much and wants to kick me out, how much is a share of dividends?

"I can't swallow this breath, so I used my relationship to start a private business of medicinal materials," Meng Zhicai shook his head and sighed, "It's impossible to imagine that this is in the hands of Meng Shaojun. Reselling medicinal materials requires government approval. Private reselling is a violation of the law. Serious It can even be decapitated!
"In the end, all the evidence of my crime was in the possession of Meng Shaojun, so she threatened me to quit their business, and even the promised dividend was less than half a share...

"I..." Meng Zhicai said excitedly, "I have worked for their family for so many years, but in the end I was kicked out like a dog. I...I am not reconciled!

"That's not to mention. Since then, she has been holding me tight. If she is dissatisfied, she threatens to report me to the government. And... as long as I don't do what she asks, she threatens to elect a new one. Lizheng!
"If I can't even become Lizheng, I'll be even more screwed! So... so... I'm afraid of losing everything I have, so I chose to take the risk..."
