Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 94 Illusion

Jiang Xihe looked over and saw that the person kneeling on the ground was eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing the same color nursing uniform as the others. The Liu family had raised so many people, so it seemed that they were in a good family.

The man did not dare to hide anything and explained loudly, "The younger one is the groom of the Liu family. He usually takes care of the eldest lady when she travels. This morning, I slept in a daze, and suddenly I heard someone in the eldest lady's courtyard shouting that the water was gone. All of us were shocked. I ran out to put out the fire and waited for the fire to be extinguished. I heard that the eldest lady did not run out and was burned to death. Later I went back to the stable to wash my face, and when I came out again I saw Zhu Ganghu coming to make trouble. Of course I protected the master, and everyone came here to cause trouble. "

After several people reconstructed it, Pei Zhizhao understood the ins and outs of the whole matter, scolded him a few times, and let the Liu family go.

The court was quiet for the time being. Before Liu Wanqing and Zhu Ganghu were sent back, Liu Qing approached Jiang Xihe and asked his doubts, "Xiaohe, how did Mr. Pei know that Zhu Ganghu was the one who attacked the person? Obviously Liu Mansion also took action?"

Jiang Xihe glanced at Pei Zhizhao and found that he had heard Liu Qing's question and looked at her with amusement.

Jiang Xihe cleared his throat and smiled slightly, "Let me talk about the attitude first. The person who was beaten will feel aggrieved if he did not take advantage. If the person who beat him succeeds, he will be somewhat complacent. Liu Wansheng and Zhu Ganghu fit these two points exactly."

Liu Qing was shocked. He also saw this, but he did not analyze these details at all.

"Also, Liu Wanqing's face was stained. If he was the one who hit someone, he would not only be angry but also furious when he was beaten, but Liu Wanqing didn't. From the beginning to the end, he looked at the weaker side."

Liu Qing was so impressed that he fell to the ground, and then asked, this time in a softer voice, "Since Liu Wanqing was beaten, why did Mr. Pei still beat him?"

After Liu Qing asked, he quietly looked at Pei Zhizhao and found that he was not looking this way. He couldn't help but ask Jiang Xihe for the answer.

Jiang Xihe thought about it, "I found that although Liu Wansheng's bun was loose, the crown was firmly on his head. Didn't he have a rest at night? When there was a fire, could you men tie up your hair in a hurry? Or should you tie up your hair before going out? ? I’m not sure, and I’m not sure whether Lord Pei thinks he’s lying because of this.”

Jiang Xihe looked back at Pei Zhizhao. Their eyes met. Jiang Xihe realized that Pei Zhizhao didn't look at Liu Qing just now because he wanted him to ask questions in his mind. He wanted to hear her answer these questions.

Sure enough, after listening to her explanation, Pei Zhizhao's face gradually softened, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Jiang Xihe shook his head proudly, mouthing "heart to heart".

Pei Zhizhao understood, suppressed a smile and mouthed "received".

Liu Wansheng and Zhu Ganghu were slapped ten times and walked slowly back to the court. Pei Zhizhao turned coldly and looked at the two of them again, "Zhu Ganghu, what else do you have to say now?"

The ten boards didn't seem to have much influence on Zhu Ganghu. He knelt down steadily and said with a loud voice, "I won't dare to make such a small impulse next time."

"You and Liu Wansheng are brothers-in-law. I can understand your feelings. If you insist that Liu Wansheng killed He Anmei and find the evidence, I will deal with it impartially. You can go."

Zhu Ganghu glared at Liu Wansheng fiercely, and Liu Wansheng pretended not to see it, waiting for Pei Zhizhao to show off.

"Liu Wansheng, there are still many questions about He Anmei being burned to death. The body should be sent to the Yamen as soon as possible. There will be no problems after the autopsy. We will issue you a death certificate. The deceased should rest in peace as soon as possible and be buried in peace."

Liu Wansheng responded repeatedly.

······

Jiang Xihe had lunch with Pei Zhizhao and returned to Yong'an Lane. From a distance, he saw Zhu Ganghu leading a woman to wander in front of her house.

Zhu Ganghu saw her and pointed with his finger. The woman came over quickly and said, "Lawyer Jiang, my name is He Anhua. You all knew it in the court just now. My sister was burned to death last night and she is dead."

Jiang Xihe looked at Zhu Ganghu.

Zhu Ganghu was tall, and Jiang Xihe had to look up to see his eyes. Looking carefully under the bright sun, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked upright, not like a treacherous person.

Zhu Ganghu explained, "Lawyer Jiang, Magistrate Pei just said in court that if you want to prosecute Liu Wanqing, you need evidence. Now my wife is here, and she is the evidence. We want to accuse Liu Wanqing of killing his wife. Please help us." It turned out that Zhu Ganghu knew that she was a lawyer in court, but just now he didn't show the slightest intention of wanting her to help with the lawsuit.

"Please come in, let's talk in the room." Jiang Xihe looked at Zhu Ganghu. He had only received ten blows in the morning, but now he seemed to be fine.

Zhu Ganghu seemed to have read Jiang Xihe's mind and said with a smile, "An Hua and I run a porcelain kiln. I usually deliver the goods and buy materials myself. Ten boards is nothing to me, and the brothers on duty didn't do anything to kill them." , Shi Banzi, I guess Mr. Pei is just trying to scare us."

Jiang Xihe smiled clearly, and Pei Zhizhao chose no more than ten, and that was his intention.

Zhu Ganghu was considerate, and Jiang Xihe had an inexplicable liking for him.

The three of them sat down and He Anhua asked, "Lawyer Jiang, I heard that my sister's body needs to be sent to the county government. Will you do the autopsy?"

Jiang Xihe nodded, "Liu Wansheng promised to deliver it to the county government later. Don't worry, I will try my best. But why do you say it was Liu Wansheng who killed your sister?"

He Anhua sighed, took out a small baggage and opened it. Jiang Xihe was stunned when he saw the contents inside. There were many good-quality bracelets, gold locks, earrings, and a stack of silver notes placed on the warm brown soft cloth.

He Anhua said, "Lawyer Jiang, this is what my sister put in my hands not long ago. She said that she might one day reconcile with Liu Wanqing. This is the property she secretly saved. Once they reconcile, these things can be used Make sure she and her children have someone to rely on."

Jiang Xihe raised his eyebrows, "When did this happen?"

"a year ago."

"Did anything happen to He Anmei and Liu Wanqing? Why did He Anmei start preparing to divorce a year ago?"

He Anhua said, "The accident started when Liu Wanqing's concubine Bai Zhuzhu entered the house. Two years ago, Bai Zhuzhu gave birth to a son, and her sister's life became even more difficult. As for the divorce, her sister did not want to, but Bai Zhuzhu Zhu wants to be the mistress of the house, but there is no way for her to survive if she doesn’t get along with her.”

Jiang Xihe clenched his fists in anger, "Since we can reconcile and He Anmei is ready, Liu Wansheng can just let his wife go, so why do he want to kill her again?"

He Anhua angrily said, "The Liu family runs a porcelain shop, which is a shop downstream of us. The Liu family's best shop is my sister's dowry. Bai Zhuzhu is thinking about this shop. If they divorce, the Liu family's most valuable things will be taken away by her sister." Liu Wanqing is unwilling to leave, so he doesn’t want to reconcile."

Jiang Xihe understood, "If what you said is right, Liu Wanqing can only kill He Anmei in order to pamper his concubine and destroy his wife and live a good life, so he set a fire and burned He Anmei to death? To create an illusion?"

He Anhua nodded.

"Where's the evidence?"

He Anhua was speechless and looked at Zhu Ganghu. Zhu Ganghu looked at Jiang Xihe and said, "Lawyer Jiang, I just want to vent Liu Wanqing's anger because I don't have any evidence. Lawyer Jiang, we beg you, please help us."

Jiang Xihe sympathized with He Anmei and lamented the sisterly relationship between He Anhua and He Anmei. However, after what happened to Liu Quanan, she did not dare to trust others rashly.

"In this case, let's look for evidence together first. As long as the murderer is Liu Wansheng, he will definitely show his flaws." Jiang Xihe had no choice but to reply to He Anhua.
