Chapter 421 The real culprit is him
Ye Han looked at her: "Don't you find it strange that everyone was looking for you that night, but when we passed by, there was no one there."

"Maybe, something happened suddenly to the murderer, so let's take someone away." Ji Nuan frowned.

Ye Hanshi did not refute her, but asked another question: "The murderer was in a hurry to leave, and even took away Lan Shu who rescued you. The next day, Lan Shu's body was thrown at the gate of the city... I can't think of any other reason than to warn someone."

"Who is the warning?" Ji Nuan looked up at him, and suddenly understood something: "You mean, the murderer wants to warn... me?"

Facing the girl's slightly shocked eyes, Ye Han nodded: "I don't know where the murderer knew that your identity is unusual, not an ordinary person they could torture and kill in the past, and I'm afraid that you will find it again after you escape. Come, so..."

"The murderer knows my identity...could it be Lan Shu who said it?"

"No," Ye Han shook his head: "To know the exit of the underground tunnel and escape with you, the relationship between Lan Shu and the murderer is probably not ordinary. If he really confessed to you, he wouldn't die. "

Ji Nuan swayed slightly: "You mean, Lan Shu was to protect me, that's why he was..."

Thinking of the tragic death of the young man, Ji Nuan burst into tears instantly: "He, he is for..."

"It's not just that," Ye Han shot at the shopkeeper with sharp arrow eyes.

"That day, I rushed to the ghost house as fast as I could, but I still didn't catch up with the murderer. That means that someone notified the murderer one step faster than me and let him run away."

Ye Han said for a while, his eyes narrowed slightly: "At first, I was always thinking about who it would be."

Ji Nuan raised her finger to wipe away her tears, not allowing herself to cry now: "Do you suspect it's him?"

Her red eyes stared at the shopkeeper of the restaurant with an unnatural expression.

"Injustice, injustice!" The shopkeeper called out to Qu almost immediately: "Young Xia, after you went out that day, I stayed in the inn all the time, and Xiao Er can testify for me. How could I possibly inform someone? And I I don't know martial arts, how could I run faster than you? I..."

"You can't do it, but where's your carrier pigeon?" The boy's plain words made the shopkeeper who was about to jump in a hurry dumb for an instant. His lips opened and closed, as if he didn't know what to say, and his face was even uglier than before. Yes, there are beads of sweat on his forehead.

Even so, he still tried his best to argue: "What carrier pigeon? I can't understand what you are saying."

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Just bring your pigeon and see where it flies, and you will immediately know whether the person who tipped off the news that night was you."

When Ye Hanshi was talking, he kept looking at the man in front of him.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat: "I told you, I was hired by the county magistrate to manage the inn. It's normal to use carrier pigeons to convey information. I won't just..."

"So the murderer is the county magistrate." Ye Han smiled coldly, and the shopkeeper panicked all of a sudden: "Don't talk nonsense! When did I say that the murderer was the county magistrate! Slandering the court order official will be jailed !"

"But murder is also against the law! The more serious the crime, the heavier the punishment. It is still light to die alone. I am afraid that your death alone will not be enough, and your family, relatives, and even neighbors will also run away. Don't drop it!"

Ye Hanshi spoke more harshly than him: "Do you know how many corpses were found in that house? If the common people know that you are the accomplice of the murderer, will they tear your flesh and eat it? Oh Yes, killing you is certainly not enough, I heard that the shopkeeper has a little daughter, send her to those innocent people..."

"Don't think about my daughter!" The shopkeeper, who was still trembling just now, suddenly roared angrily when he heard Ye Han mentioning his daughter: "I did everything, and it has nothing to do with my family. You Don't hurt them!"

Ye Han stopped for a while, and looked at the shopkeeper with ice-like eyes without a trace of warmth: "So, you have admitted that the county magistrate Du Ruxu is the murderer that everyone shouts to beat, right?"

Mentioning Du Ruxu's name, the shopkeeper visibly trembled. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look into the boy's eyes: "So what if I admit it's him? He's the county magistrate, the biggest official here, and no one cares about it anymore." he."

When the shopkeeper said this, his body showed a dejected posture: "If it wasn't for protecting my daughter, how could I do so many evil things for him? I, I... am not human."

He covered his face and began to cry.

When Ji Nuan looked at Ye Han: "Master Du is the murderer? How is it possible... He and the county magistrate's wife have such a good relationship, how could he do such a thing, I can't believe it..."

"The county magistrate's wife was poisoned when he was married. The poison can only be inhaled. If they are really so affectionate, why is he okay?"

Ye Hanshi seemed very calm: "My wife was poisoned, the whereabouts of my father-in-law's family are unknown, and the most profitable restaurant was taken over by him... One by one, this county magistrate is not an easy-going lamp."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper: "If you are asked to be a witness to identify the murderer, what evidence can you produce?"

The shopkeeper stopped crying: "I am a witness?"

Ye Han asked him back: "You don't want to do it?"

"I..." The shopkeeper paused for a while, with snot and tears still hanging on his face, he couldn't help but probed: "So you don't have any evidence to identify Du Ruxu at all?"

Ye Hanshi nodded: "That's right, there is no evidence."

Then at the moment when the shopkeeper showed a smile, he added the knife coldly: "But I have evidence related to you and the murderer. Pigeons will fly to haunted houses, missing children disappear from your shop, and The husband and wife of the former storekeeper whose whereabouts are unknown..."

He hooked the corners of his mouth as he spoke, smiling terrifyingly and frighteningly:

"Although Du Ruxu may not be able to die, it shouldn't be a big problem if your family dies and the ancestors' graves are dug up and whipped."

Ji Nuan on the side opened his mouth slightly, looking at the smiling face of the young man, he suddenly felt a chill behind him.

Is the little brother so easy to intimidate people?

And obviously, the shopkeeper was intimidated: "You, how can you do this?"

"What about me is my business, what about you? What are you going to do?" Ye Han looked at him with such a gentle expression that it made people shiver.

The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched. Having said that, does he have any other choice?
"I, I am willing to be a witness." He tremblingly said.

"Witness is second, let me tell you what evidence you have," Ye Han said indifferently.
