Demon detective

Chapter 47
night.

In Xu Zhen's house, there was the sound of wine glasses clinking.

"I did it! You can..."

Xu Zhen drank a glass of strong wine with his neck up, and then looked across.

Sitting opposite was a female catcher with freckles and big eyes, she was the tiger girl Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was not casual, and also drank a full glass of wine in one gulp.

"Hahaha," Xu Zhen held up his thumb, "Xiaoyu is so heroic, a hero among girls!"

"Senior brother, thank you," Xiaoyu lifted the flagon to pour wine, and said, "As long as senior brother is fine, I will let go of my heart. What's the harm in talking about this little wine and drinking a whole jug?"

"Hey..." Xu Zhen waved his hand, "Didn't I say it's better not to mention this matter, it's because I have no combat experience, I ran into it by myself, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"Then... Brother, don't drink too much," Xiaoyu said worriedly, "After all, I've been in a coma for so long, so I should rest more."

While talking, the little daughter-in-law came in with a dream.

Hearing this, she also whispered in Xu Zhen's ear: "Yes, drink less!"

"It's okay," Xu Zhen said with a smile, "It's rare to drink a little wine with my junior sister, you must drink it thoroughly, hehe..."

"Hey, look at Senior Brother," Shen Yu scratched his forehead habitually and said, "Obviously I hurt you by mistake, even if it's a treat, I should invite you! How can I make you spend money..."

"Where is it, it's a shame to say this," Xu Zhen said, "Actually, I have wanted to invite my junior sister for a long time, without you this time, we wouldn't have won a big victory!
"Come, come," Xu Zhen took Youmeng's little hand, let her sit next to him, and then pointed to Shen Yu and said, "Youmeng, Junior Sister Xiaoyu is the catcher I admire the most, with strong martial arts skills and a kind heart. You have a strong sense of responsibility, come on, let's toast her together!"

You Meng was reluctant at first, but seeing that Xu Zhen was already drunk, he did not resist, and offered a toast to Shen Yu with him.

But the pure-hearted Shen Yu was so moved that her eye circles turned red, because in the entire yamen, everyone regarded herself as a plague god who did more than do good and failed, but she never ignored her due diligence.

Being recognized by Xu Zhen regained her confidence, so she drank another full glass of spirits.

Just like that, the two of them continued to drink and chat, the more they talked, the happier they became, and the more they drank, the more they hit it off, and they almost didn't make obeisance on the spot...

After drinking until the end of the day, that is, nearly eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, Shen Yu got up to leave.

Shen Yu has martial arts by her side, so naturally she doesn't have to worry about her safety.

Xu Zhen sent her out of the door, waved goodbye, and returned to the courtyard.

There is no wind on a winter night, and there is no sound.

Xu Zhen stood at the door of the room, watching the little daughter-in-law Youmeng tidy up the dishes, while falling into his own thoughts:
In fact, in the whole case about Qiu Batian, he was the one who played the key role!
As early as when Xu Zhen first saw the scholar Liu Wenbin, who later became Pan Wending, he had already noticed that there was something different about him.

Although Pan Wending's performance at the time was perfect, Xu Zhen still couldn't escape Xu Zhen's eyes on some small details.

At that time, everyone was busy fighting the fire and did not know the exact location of the deceased, but Pan Wending was the only one who kept pouring water in the direction of the corpse.

Moreover, when he rescued him from the beam that was about to collapse, Xu Zhen also found that Pan Wending's footsteps had already moved, no matter whether he saved him or not, he would not be hit by the beam...

So Xu Zhen became suspicious of this person and launched an investigation on him.

The investigation is not too difficult. Since Pan Wending is targeting Qiu Batian, he must have a deep hatred with Qiu Batian.

In addition, since old man Li committed suicide willingly, he must have something to do with Pan Wending.

So after narrowing down the scope and making inquiries, Xu Zhen quickly found out the ins and outs, and the case was already clear.

Logically speaking, now that the case has been clarified, Xu Zhen only needs to catch Pan Wending at that time, and he can make contributions to Song Zhili. It can not only solve the case, but also prevent Song Zhili from making enemies with Qiu Batian, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

However, the best of both worlds is not the best of both worlds that Xu Zhen wants.

Xu Zhen hated Qiu Batian's violent and evil deeds, Song Zhili's selfishness, Cheng Xiao's viciousness, and Pan Wending's ingratitude.

Therefore, after some careful planning, Xu Zhen decided to set up a bureau to include all these people in the bureau.

So, he started his performance, escalating what was originally a simple personal grievance into a political struggle.True and false, false and true, it made the shrewd Song Zhili and others gradually enter the game.

In fact... Ailian's body is real, she was really killed by Pan Wending, and then her body was destroyed.

It was Xu Zhen who dug the grave overnight, found another corpse, and after simply burning it, replaced Ailian's corpse!

His purpose of doing this was to convince Song Zhili and others that this was a political struggle.

Because, if it was really Ailian who died, they would still hesitate, fearing that the case was really caused by Qiu Batian.But if the corpse is not Ailian, then they will be convinced that this is a political struggle!
Ailian's charred body is now lying in the dug tomb. Xu Zhen plans to rebury Ailian after the situation subsides in the future.

And from the death of Ailian, it can be seen that Pan Wending is also a vicious person. Even though he has the hatred of exterminating his family, it is sympathetic, but he should never avenge his revenge and swing the butcher knife at his benefactor.

Therefore, this Pan Wending must not spare him.

Of course, Xu Zhen knew better that if he wanted Song Zhili to take the last step, he had to make a fuss from the letter. Only when he was freed from the worries of the servant of the Ministry of Officials, he dared to do it.

So Xu Zhen asked two more people to help him, one was Jia Yi, a cattle dealer, and the other was his cousin Zhang Wenxin.

Before that, Xu Zhen found Jia Yi a long time ago and explained to him about the poisoned cattle.

Jia Yi was so frightened that he quickly sold the farm cattle, and at the same time he was very grateful to Xu Zhen, the life-saving benefactor.

Xu Zhen knew that Jia Yi's younger brother was a postman and was familiar with the way of posting letters, so he asked him for help and asked him to pay attention to the letters sent to the county government, especially the letters to the county magistrate.

At the same time, he asked his cousin Zhang Wenxin to come out and prepare to replace the letter.

Although Zhang Wenxin knew that this was a serious crime, after listening to Xu Zhen's ins and outs, she agreed to Xu Zhen with justice in her heart.

So, at ten o'clock in the evening, they rushed to the suburban post where the postman rested, and with the help of Jia Yi's younger brother, they secretly exchanged the letter for Song Zhili.

It was written to Song Zhili by an official in the court. The letter mentioned the upcoming promotion of Qiu Kai, the servant of the Ministry of officials, and the Beijing inspection.

Zhang Wenxin's calligraphy was superb, and he quickly changed the content by imitating the handwriting in the letter, changing "is about to be promoted" to "has fallen"...

Sure enough, when Song Zhili received the letter, he finally made up his mind to arrest Qiu Batian immediately, and this is what happened later...
