late Qing Dynasty arrest

The living room was so silent that you could even hear a needle drop to the ground. Everyone spied on each other, as if they were thieves, thinking they had something to fall into each other's hands.

Li Guolou laughed dumbfoundedly, and said: "Since the criminal is unwilling to speak out, I will expose this conspiracy. Diehard elements who never repent will eventually reveal their true colors."

Li Guolou paused for a moment, then scanned the crowd again, with a smile on his lips, but it made people feel cold.Then he said: "The death of Wei Wenshao, the master of the Wei family, was so strange last night. He died at the door of his bedroom. In such a big house, with high walls and many people, and close to the street, what kind of criminal would find such a place to commit crimes? Man Baye did not marry Xie Xiuzhu back then, it has been two or three years, the daylily is cold, and he still wants to kill his love rival Wei Wenshao, why did he go so early. If he wanted to have an affair with his second grandma Xie Xiuzhu, It's also unreasonable, Xie Xiuzhu knew Wei Wenshao was coming last night, and Xiaoqin knew this too. Then why did Baye Man come in the middle of the night?"

Wei Xiaoliu muttered: "Anyway, I have traveled a lot, so I just came, and I saw it with my own eyes."

Amidst the echoes of other people from the Wei Manor, they expressed their opinions one after another, that is, Man Youli was obsessed with ghosts, he was seeking his own death, and there was no possibility of overturning the case.

Li Guolou squinted at Wei Xiaoliu, and said, "Wei Xiaoliu, did you really see Man Youli? If it was true, then you must have seen someone else. Because you told a lie, when the crime happened you must have seen someone else. Not in my bedroom, but in the yard, tell me the truth!"

The last threat made Wei Xiaoliu tremble all over. He looked at Xie Xiuzhu across the way, gritted his teeth and said, "No, no, really, I think I'm really in my room, but I'm not lying on the bed yet. I can’t sleep without money.”

Li Guolou sighed: "Wei Xiaoliu, you are too dishonest. You still tell lies even now. If you know the crime of covering up, you will also be exiled into the army."

Wei Xiaoliu clenched his hands tightly, put them on his lap, bowed his head and said nothing.

Li Guolou stared at Wei Xiaoliu, feeling helpless in his heart, this person is destined to be a tragic character, not worthy of pity.

Li Guolou raised his head and said, "Okay! Since Wei Xiaoliu won't say anything, I'll continue to talk about Baye Man. Under what circumstances, Baye Man would come in the middle of the night, which is the most reasonable?" After a short pause, he said : "That is, someone deliberately told Man Youli to come at that time, stealing incense and jade, how many people can bear it? Xiaoqin, do you think so?"

Xiaoqin turned pale, and said anxiously: "Little Lizi, you can't slander me. Man Youli's lies, how can you take them seriously? I definitely didn't ask Man Youli to come to Wei Mansion at night. What he said were all lies. They were all lies. Yes! Second Mistress, you have to trust me."

Li Guolou did not listen to Xiaoqin's appeal, but turned to Xie Xiuzhu and said, "Second Grandma, don't you find it strange? You were born as a singer, and you have long been used to going to bed late and getting up late. Last night you heard that your husband Wei Wen Don't come here, dress up and wait for him to come back. Why do you suddenly feel sleepy? Is this the same as your usual habit?"

Xie Xiuzhu is also from ** Lake. Hearing this, she couldn't help pushing Xiaoqin's hands away from her arms, looked up at Li Guolou, and said, "I usually don't go to bed so early. I didn't know last night. What's the matter, I dozed off after watching them play a few decks of cards, then went back to the bedroom, lay down for a while, and wanted to wait for the master to come back. I didn't expect to wake up until midnight, and now I think about it, it's really strange .”

Li Guolou replied: "Actually, this is also easy to explain. Someone put medicine in your tea. This kind of medicine is the calming medicine used by Westerners. The dose is not much, and it will not feel strange when you put it in tea. Besides, second grandma, you like to drink chrysanthemum tea, and if someone adds a little more sugar, you will not mention it."

Xie Xiuzhu's complexion changed suddenly, she stood up, pointed at Xiaoqin and cursed, and said: "It's you! You killed the master. I blamed you for putting too much sugar in your tea last night! You bitch, how dare you Murdering the master, you are a scumbag, why didn't I see that you are such a person;;;;;;"

Xie Xiuzhu has the ability to scold the street, which makes everyone stunned. The obscene words are sprayed on Xiaoqin, and she wants to play Xiaoqin, but Ma Dequan firmly grabs Xie Xiuzhu's arms, and finally puts Xie Xiuzhu back Press on the chair.

And Xiaoqin thumped and knelt down on the wooden floor, desperately denying that she had done such a thing, kowtowed and cried: "Second Mistress, I definitely did not kill Master, I am not this kind of person. They are full of travels Colluding with Xiao Lizi to frame me, master and second mistress are so kind to me, I am human, how can I do something worse than pigs and dogs."

Li Guolou waited for Xiaoqin to finish her defense, and said, "Xiaoqin, I thought Xie Xiuzhu was the best at pretending to be the person here. It turned out to be you. Why did you betray Second Mistress? It was because someone promised to give you peace and you already have an affair with him, right? Xu Xiaohu, why don't you say anything and pretend to be deaf and dumb, so you can get away with it?"

Xu Xiaohu, who was sitting with his head bowed, finally raised his head and said, "Xiaoqin, don't be afraid, Xiaoli is just joking. The murderer has already been caught, and has nothing to do with us. Man Youli is now a mad dog. I will bite anyone, Lord Bao is the sky, and will not let us suffer unjustly."

Xu Xiaohu was really calm and composed, one sentence made Xiaoqin, who was kneeling on the ground, no longer argue, but stood up slowly, her eyes became firm, as if she had the integrity to emerge from the mud.

Li Guolou was applauding Xu Xiaohu in his heart, exactly as he thought, Xu Xiaohu is a diehard, without evidence, it is impossible to make this person bow his head and plead guilty.Xu Xiaohu also cheered up Xiaoqin, and immediately brought back the momentum that was at a disadvantage.Now Xu Xiaohu and Xiaoqin will not admit to their meddling even if they are forced to use sticks and boards, let alone the serious crime of killing their master Wei Wenshao.

Li Guolou raised his voice and said, "Okay! Since neither of them admitted their guilt, let me continue to make it up and see if the result is the same as what I said?"

Na Bazi who was sitting on the couch couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted: "Xiao Lizi, I believe in you, please continue talking to me."

Li Guolou didn't look back, and blushed a little. He used public affairs to benefit himself, and pulled his friends in to watch the murder scene. After all, he was not an upright person.

Li Guolou said: "Actually, someone has been planning this case for a long time, waiting for this opportunity. First, someone didn't close the door. It seemed to be lazy, but in fact it was a hidden murderous intention. Then the opportunity came. Someone knew what Wei Wenshao was going to do." When will you return home? Probably before twelve o’clock in the evening, I’m talking about western time, do you all understand?”

Ai Hai listened carefully, and said, "Xiao Lizi, that's very well said, we can all understand it."

Li Guolou was very satisfied with the surrounding atmosphere, and continued: "Then someone asked Man Youli to come to Wei Mansion on time at one o'clock in the middle of the night, and told Man Youli that the door of the second grandma's south room was unlocked. I am ready to repay the kindness of Man Ba ​​Ye. How can someone like Man Ba ​​Ye let go of this opportunity, of course he will be on time for the appointment. Xu Xiaohu, people are always so accurate. Isn't it?"

Xu Xiaohu bowed his head and remained silent. It was better to be silent than to say anything. Whatever Li Guolou said, without evidence, he still won in the end.

Li Guolou watched Xu Xiaohu's every move, and praised: "Xu Xiaohu, I didn't misunderstand you at all. You are really very scheming, and you have counted everyone in the Wei mansion. You are trying to seize the property of the Wei family. If you killed your master with your own hands, you would have been skinned in the previous dynasty, and now you are sentenced to be cut in half, it is not a bad treatment to you."

Everyone discussed and whispered to each other, Xu Xiaohu finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "It's nonsense, I won't admit it even if I kill it."

Li Guolou showed sarcasm, and said: "Why did Grandma go back to her mother's house? Could it be that she is happy? Congratulations, Xu Xiaohu, you are now a father."

Now the crowd couldn't sit still any longer, they all stood up, shouting in shock.The eyes focused on Xu Xiaohu, and the murderer's conspiracy was undoubtedly revealed.

Xu Xiaohu wanted to take out the handkerchief from his sleeve, but when he couldn't find it, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his sleeve in a hurry.

Hastily defended: "Why did the eldest grandma go back to her mother's house? How do I know? What happened later is even more ridiculous. I have never done such a horrible thing even if I was killed."

Li Guolou pressed down with both hands, asked everyone to sit down, and said: "Grandma is not here, I will not talk about her for now. I will continue to talk about the case. There is something strange tonight, that is why Xiaoqin is jumping here and there. The first time I ran to the mahjong room in the east, who would believe that Xiaoqin was interested in Xu Biao? Even Wei Xiaoqi, who was dumbfounded, knew about Xiaoqin. Informed Xu Xiaohu, telling Xu Xiaohu when Wei Wenshao would enter the mansion. Then, around twelve o'clock, Xiaoqin entered the mahjong room again, telling Xu Xiaohu that she had seen Wei Wenshao outside the gate of Wei's mansion. Wen Shao came back. Then Xu Xiaohu rushed out immediately, saying that he had a stomachache, and asked Xu Biao to play cards for him. What happened next, Xu Xiaohu, do you want me to continue making up the story?"

Xu Xiaohu said in a hoarse voice, "I'm too lazy to explain. I'll just go straight to Mr. Bao. Little Li, you're a murderer. If a thief calls for a thief, the truth will always come to light, and you will be scolded by the world."

Li Guolou looked at Xu Xiaohu, this unrepentant murderer, had come to an end, and everyone believed his reasoning about the case.Next, he was going to give the murderer a fatal blow, because Xu Xiaohu had found a fatal loophole.
