Demon detective

Chapter 71
"I knew it, I knew there would be such a day!"

In the inner hall, when the old head catcher Shen Mingchen listened to everything about the monk and read the three blood confessions, he excitedly held the blood book and said:
"Then Qi Jia Dalang is demented, how could he be a ghost-faced killer? But everyone is like a bewitched person, and they firmly believe in this, alas..."

At this moment, Song Zhili comforted Mrs. Hao and returned to the inner hall.

In addition, there are Chen Houlu, Xu Zhen and Cheng Xiao.

As for Shen Yu, Shen Mingchen didn't let her in, for fear that the reckless Huniu would know too much and cause some trouble.

"Old Shen arrests the head," Chen Houlu asked, "I remember, didn't you arrest Qi Dalang back then? You also think he is innocent?"

"Oh, it's all about anger!" Shen Mingchen said with a stern face, "At the beginning, Tong County Magistrate said that he found evidence, so he insisted on arresting Qi Dalang.

"You know my temper. I have always insisted that Qi Dalang is not a ghost-faced killer, and I will not arrest people. In the end, I had a quarrel with Tong County Magistrate and contradicted him. So... the person who finally went to arrest Qi Dalang Not me.

"Moreover, for a long time since then, I have said that I will not be sick, and I have not participated in the affairs of the yamen."

"Oh..." Song Zhili nodded, talking in his heart, no wonder the monk didn't bother Shen Butou.

Unexpectedly, at this point, Cheng Xiao couldn't stand anymore, he suddenly rushed out, knelt down in front of Song Zhili, and hurriedly said: "My lord, Mr. Song, I...I want to go home! "

"Oh?"

Everyone was surprised, but after the accident, they all understood something.

"No way?" Shen Mingchen's eyes widened, "You were the one who arrested him?"

"Yes," Cheng Xiao said hastily, "If you refused to go, County Magistrate Tong found me and Chen Tiefeng. We were both newcomers at that time, so how dare you disobey the master's order?
"My lord..." he begged Song Zhili, "Please let me go home and have a look, I'm really worried, I...my family..."

"Okay, okay," Song Zhili felt empathetic, and hurriedly agreed, "Then you go quickly!"

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng!" Cheng Xiao was in a hurry, and after getting the approval, he rushed out of the house as fast as he could, even forgetting to close the door.

Xu Zhen had no choice but to close the door, but when he closed the door, he saw a red shadow flashing outside the door, obviously Shen Yu had been eavesdropping outside.

Xu Zhen raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly. He knew that even if Shen Yu didn't eavesdrop, he would know the truth sooner or later, so he naturally didn't care.

"I mean," Chen Houlu looked at the door and said, "Ever since the monk revealed his intention to come, Butou Cheng has been restless. It turns out that he is also thinking about being revenged by the monk!

"Hey," Chen Houlu said happily, "It's a good thing I didn't participate in that case at the time, otherwise, alas..."

is it?

Xu Zhen pondered secretly, and felt that Cheng Xiao's restlessness seemed to have other reasons.

"My lords," Shen Mingchen said, "Although I did not participate in the case of the ghost-faced killer later, I presided over all the investigations in the early stage.

"The ghost-faced killer case, I know everything about it, including the situation of Qi Dalang's family, I also remember everything."

"Oh, that would be great," Song Zhili said, "My son and daughter are in danger, and I hope Mr. Shen will help you out!"

"Hey..." Shen Mingchen clasped his fists, "It's my honor to be able to serve the Yamen again, and it must be my duty. Besides, I thought that Qi Dalang was wronged a long time ago. Now, I naturally want to know who the real ghost-faced killer is!
"This man has killed so many innocent girls, but he has been at large for more than ten years. If he is not caught, this old man is really angry!"

Great!

Xu Zhen praised from the bottom of his heart, if it were someone else, he would definitely want to flatter Song Zhili at this time, saying that he would try his best to find the young lady and other good things, but the boss Shen was blunt, all he cared about was justice .

No wonder, everyone in the world said that Mr. Shen is a chivalrous and courageous catcher!
"Back then," Shen Mingchen recalled, "when I was investigating Qi Dalang, I visited and investigated many times. The adults in his family left early, and only three brothers and sisters depended on each other and made a living by making pickles.

"Qi Erlang...was just a child back then, about eight or nine years old," Shen Mingchen said, "The few times I went there, I saw him helping the sauce jar. He was not a big man, but he worked very hard. look.

"I can see that he knows that his brothers and sisters are too tired and wants to help them share some of the labor.

"Now that 13 years have passed, although people will grow up, I will never forget those eyes," Shen Mingchen said, "I can meet that monk later and see if I can recognize those eyes." !"

"Great," Song Zhili said, "Although he has admitted that he is Qi Erlang Qi Yunzheng, it's better to confirm..."

Xu Zhen saw that Song Zhili had straightened up uncontrollably, as if he was going to take Shen Mingchen to the cell now.

"Old Shen, arresting the head," he hurriedly asked Shen Mingchen the next question, "What happened back then, why did County Magistrate Tong ask Qi Dalang to take the blame?"

"Alas!" Shen Mingchen sighed again after hearing the words, and said, "It's not all caused by the deadline to solve the case.

"Among the six dead in the ghost-faced killer case, one was a daughter of Wan Yuanwai, Wan Yuanwai's hands and eyes were open to the sky, and he found connections on it.

"The imperial court quickly suppressed the case and ordered the Yanping county government to solve the case within one month, otherwise the county magistrate will be dismissed and accused, and everyone in the government will be implicated, and in serious cases, they will even be exiled into the army.

"I guess, under such heavy pressure, magistrate Tong will find someone to take over the bag?"

"But," Xu Zhen asked, "how can such a top bag work? If the ghost-faced killer case happens again, wouldn't it be even worse? Not only can the case not be solved, but the wrong person will be arrested?"

"Magistrate Tong probably can't control that much, can he?" Shen Mingchen said, "Let's save my black hat first.

"It seems that I heard them talking about 'walking on two legs' at the time, and I guess it roughly means that the real culprit can't stop looking, but finding someone to top the bag is also necessary.

"Coincidentally," Shen Mingchen said helplessly, "after Qi Dalang's death, there really was no ghost-faced killer case in Yanping County!

"I don't know. Could it be that the killer deliberately withdrew his hand when he saw that someone had finally picked up his bag?"

"Then..." Xu Zhen asked again, "Why did you choose Qi Dalang, knowing that he has intellectual problems?"

"It's because of intellectual problems that they are easy to bully." Shen Mingchen said angrily, "In the case of the ghost-faced killer, several cases happened in the area of ​​Workshop Street, and it seems more reasonable to find someone there to top the bag.

"Moreover, they used a lot of effort to package Qi Dalang into a psychologically distorted, demonic image with the desire to kill, so as to deceive Wan Yuanwai and others.

"Oh, I'm ashamed to say it," the old head catcher sighed again, "I'll tell you all, when I first heard evidence appeared in Qi Dalang's house, I knew it was framed! Those so-called evidences were obtained from the scene of the crime." past.

"The so-called witnesses also received money." He put the three bloody confessions on the table, "It's the same as what's written on it!

"It's a pity... I am soft-spoken and have too little energy. Although I am a headhunter, I can't change anything, alas..."
