This arena is not ordinary

Chapter 37
In the silent night.

The torchlight illuminates the streets and alleys, as well as the entire courtyard.

Several figures poured into Shen Lin's courtyard.

Among the crowd, the firelight reflected a familiar face with a somewhat stern smile.

Chen Jianghe!
"You really are here!"

When he saw Xu Pingan in the courtyard, a sneer appeared on Chen Jianghe's face: "Xu Pingan, you are suspected of murdering Miss Rulin from Chunfengyuan, come back to the Yamen with me!"

Xu Ping'an's face was pale, and his hands and feet were cold.

He subconsciously looked at Shen Lin who was at the side as if asking for help, already panicking.

What, how could it be so fast?

He was about to surrender himself when he was caught?

This time...it can't be cleaned!

Shen Lin's expression was calm.

Chen Jianghe came too fast, but it was expected.

From the accident in Chunfengyuan, the discovery of the body, to reporting the case, to confirming the identity of the suspect, and finally coming here to arrest Xu Ping'an...the timing was just right!

More importantly, how could Chen Jianghe miss such a good opportunity for revenge?

Even though it was late at night, it didn't affect his interest in handling the case at all.

……

Things happened just as Shen Lin expected. After receiving the report from Chunfengyuan, the yamen rushed to the scene immediately.

And Chen Jianghe also got clues from several brothel girls that Xu Ping'an came to find Miss Xiaoli tonight!
Ever since, Xu Pingan naturally became a major suspect in this case.

Knowing this, Chen Jianghe excitedly took people to Xu Ping'an's house, but he couldn't find Xu Ping'an, so he immediately turned back and took people to Shen Lin's place.

The relationship between the two of them is quite good, Xu Ping'an will most likely come to Shen Lin if he has an accident!
as predicted!

Xu Ping'an is here!
When Shen Lin met Chen Jianghe's gaze, he saw the cold smile emerging from his eyes.

Not as embarrassed as he was when he left during the day, Chen Jianghe thought of the humiliation he suffered during the day, and flashed a vicious smile.

During the day, he failed to catch the 'murderer', and the handle fell into Shen Lin's hands.

But now, Shen Lin secretly hid the murderer Xu Pingan, and got the stolen goods!
This bigger handle, on the contrary, returned to his hands!
"And you..."

He pointed at Shen Lin, and sneered again and again: "Shen Lin, you hid the suspect privately, and you have committed a serious crime of covering up the suspect, so come back to the Yamen with me!"

The arrogant tone made Chen Jianghe sneer.

Cool!
Great revenge!
It seems that even God is helping him!

……

late at night.

Qingshui County, the county government!

Shen Lin and Xu Ping'an were quickly taken back to the Yamen and locked up.

It was already late at night, and the county magistrate had already gone to bed, and the case will be retried tomorrow when it goes to the yamen.

The dark and damp cell exudes a somewhat unpleasant smell.

inside the cell.

"Brother Shen, I'm sorry..."

Xu Ping'an's face was full of annoyance: "I'm the one who hurt you!"

Because of him, Brother Shen was arrested and brought back together. Xu Pingan felt very uncomfortable and felt very guilty.

"As long as you know!"

Shen Lin scanned the cell and sighed.

"I didn't expect that one day I would be imprisoned here too!"

As a servant of the yamen, he has always been Shen Linguan to others, but he never thought that one day it would be his turn.

Xu Pingan was very annoyed, but at the same time he was extremely worried: "Then, what should we do now...Brother Shen, if the crime of Miss Rulin's murder falls on me, then it will be over for both of us!"

"What you said is not accurate enough, you are the one who is finished, I am not!"

Shen Lin shook his head, "You killed the man, it has nothing to do with me!"

"I didn't kill..."

"Do you think everyone believes it or not?"

Xu Ping'an's expression froze, and then he looked sad: "Shen, brother Shen, you, you want to betray me?"

It's hard to bear the promise, why did Brother Shen suddenly turn his back on it?
"How can this be sold?"

Shen Linyu patted him on the shoulder earnestly: "Sacrificing one of you is better than both of us, right... Don't worry, if something happens to you, I will take good care of your little Miss Li for you... "

Xu Pingan: "..."

……

The joke was a joke, but Xu Ping'an was still very uneasy.Inexplicably, he was involved in a murder case, and his life might even be lost. What should we do?
While Xu Ping'an was worried, Shen Lin had already tidied up the hay in the corner and found a comfortable position to lie down.

"Brother Shen, you, you are..."

Xu Pingan was taken aback.

"go to bed!"

Shen Lin yawned and glanced at him: "It's late at night, aren't you sleepy?"

Xu Pingan was in a hurry: "Can you still sleep?"

They are now locked in a cell, and disaster is imminent, brother Shen can still sleep?

"Why can't you sleep?"

"We, we have been arrested... Your Excellency will definitely interrogate tomorrow, what will we do then?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Shen Lin glanced at him: "Did you kill the man?"

"no……"

"Isn't that enough?"

Shen Lin turned over: "You didn't kill it, what are you afraid of?"

Xu Pingan froze in place, as if what he said made sense.

but……

its not right!
Isn't that what brother Shen said just now? !

When Xu Pingan wanted to say something, he saw that Shen Lin in the corner seemed to have fallen asleep, and snored softly.

……

early morning.

The first rays of sunlight shone into the cell.

Shen Lin yawned and slowly opened his eyes.

Looking into the eyes, I saw Xu Pingan squatting in the corner not far away with a haggard look, his eyes were red and dark circles were obvious.

"What are you, haven't slept all night?!"

"Can't sleep..."

His voice was hoarse and deep, and somehow he was killed. How could he be able to sleep?

"Brother Shen..."

Xu Pingan opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at Shen Lin: "You, have you thought of anything?"

"no!"

"then you……"

Xu Pingan was taken aback: "Then how did you manage to sleep?"

Shen Lin asked back, "You haven't slept all night, did you think of any solution?"

Xu Pingan's eyes were dim: "No!"

"Then why don't you sleep?"

Shen Lin glanced at him strangely: "Anyway, I can't think of a way, why don't we talk about it after we get enough sleep?"

Xu Pingan: "..."

Seems to make sense?
……

Just when Xu Pingan was about to say something, footsteps came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, two guards approached and opened the cell door.

"Shen Zuo, Xu Zuo, my lord wants to see you, come with us!"

The jailers of the county government are all old acquaintances, and their relationship is not bad on weekdays.

"Let's go, accept the trial!"

Shen Lin got up, patted the debris on his body, tidied his clothes, and stepped out of the cell first.

On the way to the yamen, Shen Lin glanced at the two guards: "By the way, what's the situation outside now?"

One of the jailers sighed and said, "Shen Zhuo, I'm afraid you will be out of luck this time..."

"A young lady died in Chunfengyuan and was strangled to death on the bed. The other women there said that they saw Xu Zheng last night, and the people from the yamen searched and inspected the scene without leaving any clues... Now, all the evidence of the crime is gone. Pointing to Xu Tuo, who went there last night, I guess, this time Xu Tuo and Shen Tuo are going to fall for you..."

……

County government office, in the lobby.

The atmosphere was dull and no one made a sound.

Xu Zhong's face was gloomy.

In just a few days, Qingshui County had murder cases one after another, which had already caused him to be devastated!

And last night, another murder happened!
A lady in Chunfengyuan was strangled to death on the bed in the boudoir.

This time, it wasn't some vendetta, but a murder that really happened under his jurisdiction!
More importantly, this murder case involved a servant named Xu Ping'an in his yamen.

According to other people in Chunfengyuan, Xu Ping'an went to Chunfengyuan last night to find a prostitute named Miss Xiaoli.

And the deceased who died in Chunfeng Garden happened to die in Miss Xiaoli's room.

Everything is self-evident.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhong's face was particularly ugly.

The previous two murder cases have not been solved yet, but this one happened suddenly, and people from the yamen were involved.

This is a great challenge to the majesty of the Yamen!

"You are Miss Xiao Li?"

At this moment, Xu Zhong stared coldly at a woman kneeling in the hall!
The woman had a pretty face, her eyes were reddish, and she said weakly, "Master, the little girl is right!"

"What is your relationship with the dead?"

Xu Zhong stared at her: "Where were you when the deceased was killed last night?"

"My lord, the little girl and Rulin are good sisters. Last night, last night, Momo called me to help out in the backyard. I was busy until midnight. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Rulin was killed..."

Xiao Li sobbed softly, his little face was full of sadness.

She and Rulin were as close as sisters, she never thought that she would encounter such a disaster, which made her heart very sad.

"My lord, you must catch the murderer and avenge sister Rulin..."

Xu Zhong was expressionless.

The old bustard of Chunfengyuan also had a confession, the little Li girl in the hall did not return to her room last night.

Therefore, the possibility of her intentional murder was ruled out.

Well, the case seems to have gradually become clear!

When Miss Rulin was killed, she was disheveled and disheveled, and she was tortured before she died... Obviously, it was probably because of a grudge and quarrel with the client, and she was strangled to death by the client!
And the identity of the prostitute...all clues point to Xu Ping'an!

Xu Zhong was furious, he never expected that such a scum would come out of his county government!

"Come on, bring me Xu Ping'an!"

"..."
