late Qing Dynasty arrest

In the east wing, Ai Hai began to ask about the case.The eight people from Wei's house were gathered in another room, and the officials guarded them and prevented them from talking too much.

The first person to be interrogated was the second grandma Xie Xiuzhu. Seeing her walk into the East Wing while stroking the lotus on her chest, one couldn't help but feel pity for her.

Li Guolou was secretly ashamed when his family was ruined and he still had doubts about others.But he didn't let go of the clues, since he had eaten six doors, everyone at the scene of the crime was not like a good person.Li Guolou was full of doubts. He heard Xie Xiuzhu's words just now, but the introductory words were inconsistent and vague. Now let's listen to her explanation?Li Guolou suspects that Xie Xiuzhu murdered her husband. Her husband Wei Wenshao is over 40 years old and has a slightly fat body. Can he satisfy a beautiful lady who is less than 30 years old?This is the person he least believes in.Even if Xie Xiuzhu is innocent, Li Guolou has marked her as "Pan Jinlian".

Xie Xiuzhu was sitting at the mahjong table, and Ai Hai was taking notes with a brush in his hand. He was sitting opposite Xie Xiuzhu, and he was a blush-faced, kind-hearted bald man, very cute and harmless.And Ma Dequan stood beside him viciously, ready to make a loud voice to scare people at any time.

Li Guolou deliberately kept a little distance from them so that he could clearly see every tiny movement of the suspect Xie Xiuzhu.

The opening remarks of Ai Hai's questioning taught Li Guolou a trick. First, he asked about Xie Xiuzhu's age, place of origin, how he met Wei Wenshao, and what was the relationship between the couple?Why does Xie Xiuzhu have a bad relationship with the old lady Wang Yixue?After talking about sesame and mung beans for a while, Xie Xiuzhu opened her heart and told about the scenery in Huamanlou back then.

Ai Hai nodded frequently after hearing this, then changed the subject and asked, "Xie Xiuzhu, tell me about your relationship with Man Youli, starting from the time of Hua Manlou."

Only then did Li Guolou know that Ai Hai didn't believe in Xie Xiuzhu either, and thought the same as him, thinking that Xie Xiuzhu was promiscuous and seduced her adulterer to travel around and kill her husband Wei Wenshao.

Xie Xiuzhu stroked her chest again, glanced at Ai Hai timidly, and said softly: "Ai Butou, my family is from a singer, how can I offend my customers, Man Baye came to Huamanlou to play and drink flower wine, I am a singer Well, there is no way to take advantage of him. But we are all entertainers and not ourselves, and we never introduce the rules of Huamanlou, we all abide by them, otherwise how could I be the second grandma."

Ma Dequan yelled in vain: "Xie Xiuzhu, tell me the truth, how did you collude with Man Youli? Take the initiative to confess and reduce the crime, and I will intercede for you in front of Mr. Bao."

Li Guolou trembled when he heard a thunder, and almost sat down on the ground.Looking sideways at Ma Dequan, it turned out that this person had the voice of Zhang Fei drinking Dangyangqiao, and he almost recognized him as an imbecile, thinking that Ma Dequan was a sycophant.

Xie Xiuzhu's tears flowed down one by one, her sleeves wiped the corners of her eyes just right, every subtle movement was done so femininely, she deserves to be a singer who has been tempered in Huamanlou.

Xie Xiuzhu's tears stained her clothes, and she choked with sobs, "Brother, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but you can't associate my family with the person who killed my husband. I am a clean person. If I have a relationship with Man You At the slightest hint of adultery, I slammed my head against the corner of the table to death."

Xie Xiuzhu stood up sharply, squinting at the corner of the mahjong table, as if like Dou E, showing her determination by dying.

Li Guolou reacted quickly, and was the first to stand in front of Xie Xiuzhu, preventing Xie Xiuzhu from committing suicide.

On the other hand, Ai Hai and Ma Dequan did not move at all, and did not respond to Xie Xiuzhu's movements at all.They snorted and laughed at Xie Xiuzhu's acting and Li Guolou's fuss.Blame Li Guolou for not seeing the world, the singer is a master of acting, how can she seek death for a few words, this kind of singer's feelings are bought with money, and if you have money, you will post it.no money!Just let you see a bad face.

Xie Xiuzhu was so close to Li Guolou that all her weight was on Li Guolou.It is not a good thing for Li Guolou to feel that nephrite is in his arms, it will change his judgment, he feels it from the bottom of his heart, absolutely, absolutely!Xie Xiuzhu is innocent, otherwise she would feel guilty and uncomfortable.

From now on, Li Guolou made up his mind not to get too close to others during the case.This will distort the thinking and judgment, and emotional factors cannot be brought into the case.His emotional heart slowly cooled down. Thinking of the dead body in the south room, the pool of coagulated blood, and the sharp knife pierced into his heart, his face finally became resolute and cold.The eyes that looked at people changed suddenly, and there was a mockery in the coldness.

Li Guolou showed a sneer, and slowly pushed Xie Xiuzhu away, pressed her on the chair, and submerged into the dark corner again.He has never changed this habit throughout his life. He likes to stand in the dark, watching people meditate in secret, preventing the suspect from seeing his expression clearly, and laughing at all those who tell lies.The three fingers of the left hand supported the chin, as if there were three long strands of long beard underneath.

Ai Hai asked: "Do you know that your husband Wei Wenshao will come tonight?"

Xie Xiuzhu said: "I know, the servant girl Xiaoqin went to see the master today, and he told Xiaoqin to invite guests at Huamanlou tonight, and to come to my place later, and told me not to go to the door."

Standing in a dark corner, Li Guolou interrupted: "Xie Xiuzhu, who opened the door for Wei Wenshao?"

Xie Xiuzhu sobbed: "Xiaoqin opened the door. I asked her to welcome the master and go to sleep. I didn't expect her to be lazy, opened the latch of the door, and ran to sleep by herself. Alas, alas;;;;; ; It’s all because Xiaoqin is bad.”

Li Guolou then asked again: "Does Xiaoqin do this often?"

The atmosphere on the scene was weird, Li Guolou's question was on point, Xie Xiuzhu was so angry that she couldn't answer Li Guolou's question.It seems that Xiaoqin is sleepy, and there are several strong men in the yard, Xiaoqin thinks nothing will happen, so she often misses the door latch.

Ai Hai and Ma Dequan looked at each other, they nodded secretly, they were satisfied with Li Guolou's question, at least like a question asked by a qualified policeman.They were not as rich and educated as Li Guolou, and they were dissatisfied from the bottom of their hearts when a newcomer arrived, but it was difficult to show it.He wanted Li Guolou to make a fool of himself, but Li Guolou was too conspicuous to catch the principal culprit in the case, leaving them to dig deeper into the truth of the case.

If it wasn't for Li Guolou watching them, Ai Hai and Ma Dequan would have gone back to the Yamen a long time ago to see how the brothers repaired the murderer.Usually, the Ax Gang has to compete with the Yamen for territory, which reduces the income of the brothers by several percent.For the sake of loyalty in the Jianghu, the yamen can only assign the territory one by one to the Ax Gang for management.Although there is still income to be handed over, which yamen servant does not know how much smaller the vomited meat will be after being bitten by a dog and eaten in his mouth.

Usually it seems that the people in the yamen and the gangs have a harmonious relationship, but in fact, everyone knows that only by strength can they live in peace.

Ever since Emperor Qianlong handed over the river transport business to the Qing Gang, it was only because the Qing Gang claimed to be the loyal running dog of the Qing Empire, loyal to the emperor and patriotic.The strength of the Green Gang has passed the imperial appointment, and its power is growing, and the north has long been dominated by one family.But there are also disadvantages. The Green Gang has also decayed and declined. If a sect is too rich, it will take the high-end route, and the Green Gang will also break away from the original bottom-line route.And let the ax gang capture the poor people at the bottom, most of them are from Shandong, they are tall and big, and they dare to fight.There is nothing wrong with the rich being afraid of the poor.Relying on their unreasonable tactics, the Ax Gang fought all the way and gained a foothold in the capital.The yamen servants who are on duty are not allowed to collect protection fees in many places.

Therefore, when the yamen servants heard that the murderer was Man Baye of the Ax Gang, they were very happy, and they would beat him up when they returned to the yamen.This kind of current criminal caught on the spot, murdering husbands for other people's women, is despised by heroes in the world.Losing the reputation of the Ax Gang, the Ax helped to clear up the relationship, and tomorrow it will be announced that Man Youli will be cleared from the Ax Gang, and no one will intercede for Man Youyou.

Ai Hai stared at Xie Xiuzhu and asked, "Xie Xiuzhu, tell me what happened in your bedroom?"

Xie Xiuzhu twitched: "At first I wanted to wait for my husband, and I ran here to watch the little sixes play mahjong, but I waited and waited until my husband came, and I was sleepy again, so I ran back to the bedroom to sleep for a while. I didn't expect that In my sleep, I heard a bang, and I opened my eyes in a daze, and found ;;;;;;”

Xie Xiuzhu couldn't go on talking again, and started to cry;;;;;;Li Guolou couldn't bear it anymore, and interjected again: "Xie Xiuzhu, you are dishonest, do you sleep like this? You don't even take off your makeup , how to sleep?"

Ai Hai and Ma Dequan nodded immediately, feeling that what Li Guolou said was reasonable, and the three of them stared at Xie Xiuzhu together to see how she would argue.Unexpectedly, Xie Xiuzhu's words would leave the three of them speechless.

Xie Xiuzhu rolled her eyes at Li Guolou, and said coquettishly: "Little Lizi, don't you know that I was born as a singer? Dozing off without removing makeup is common for us singers. I sleep leaning on the pillow and only take off my clothes. a coat."

Li Guolou dissatisfied: "Isn't the singer a night owl? Why do you doze off?"

Xie Xiuzhu replied: "That was in the past, but now I am a woman from a good family. Little Lizi, you still drank milk in the past. Do you still drink it now?"

If the scene was changed, Li Guolou would still play tricks, but after his husband died, Li Guolou could only hold back the witty words he wanted to say.He knew in his heart that Xie Xiuzhu was quite eloquent, if her husband hadn't died, she would definitely be able to chat and laugh happily with the people in a room.From the bottom of his heart, he likes to deal with this kind of woman who can take jokes, and he will not hold grudges just because of a word.

Suddenly Li Guolou thought that all his bank notes were with Chen Xiangfang, how could this happen?Do you want to be trapped by the little widow?Being the cheap daddy of Little Bell, he will also support "Li Lingling" to study abroad in the future.Li Guolou [-] people disagree. Men should put their careers first and then their families. How can they love each other!

Ai Hai's question made Li Guolou turn his mind back to the case. He also wanted to know what happened at the moment of the murder?
