Chapter 223 Hidden Evidence
He paused, his eyes suddenly froze and he said: "Through this silk, I investigated all the way from the bamboo forest, and finally came to Hetou Village. In Hetou Village, I found the place where Tao Zhaoxue was murdered."

He glanced at Lu Jitong, and said coldly: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that such a crazy thing happened in this peaceful world!"

Kang Xu's voice instantly became extremely cold, like ice bumps, which made people feel a little shuddering.

Lu Jitong looked at him, not understanding why he became so angry.

"In Hetou Village, the officer discovered a secret room, and there is a prison in the secret room." Kang Xu tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and he said every word: "In the prison, innocent girls are imprisoned. The young girl is imprisoned as a plaything, it is simply insane!"

Speaking of this, Kang Xu was furious, and slammed down the table, causing the wooden board on the table to tremble slightly.

Lu Jitong and Tao Ruozhu showed surprise on their faces at the same time. They looked at Kang Xu with doubts in their eyes.

"There is such a thing?" Tao Ruozhu was surprised. "Did you find out, who did this?"

Kang Xu stared at Lu Jitong closely, and said in a deep voice: "According to my investigation, the person who imprisoned the girl and the person who killed Tao Zhaoxue were committed by the same person. And Tao Zhaoxue was arrested in the secret room of the prison The murderer tortured him to death with inhumane methods."

Lu Jitong frowned, he also stared at Kang Xu, and said, "Your Excellency, do you mean the girls I imprisoned?"

Kang Xu took a deep breath, calmed down, and said coldly: "The prison room is in your old house, don't tell me, you don't even remember your old house!"

"My old house?" Lu Jitong was a little stunned. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "My lord thinks I'm the murderer based on this alone. It's hard to believe. My old house is in Hetou Village, but it's also possible. It was used by someone with a heart. Besides, I didn't even know that there would be a secret room in the old house."

"Okay, I will show you the evidence to convince you. Take Liu Tie to court!" Kang Xu patted the gavel and gave a cold drink.

A yamen servant immediately brought Liu Tie up. Liu Tie lowered his head tremblingly, knelt on the ground trembling all over, and shouted: "Liu Tie, a grassroots man, I have seen you!"

"Liu Tie, raise your head and look at the people around you, do you know them?" Kang Xu said calmly.

Liu Tie hurriedly nodded yes, he raised his head, glanced at it, and then shouted: "My lord, it's him! He is Lu Jitong, the one who let the villain take care of the dungeon, and everything the grassroots do is ordered by him !"

"Stop talking nonsense, I don't know you, when will you be in charge of the dungeon?" Lu Jitong was full of astonishment and puzzled.

"Mr. Lu, you asked me to pretend to be a wandering Taoist priest and stay in Hetou Village to guard the dungeon for you, but now you say these words. Isn't this crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?" Liu Tie suddenly became angry when he heard his words Chung, yelled.

"I've never met you, why did you frame me?" Lu Jitong asked, frowning.

"Mr. Lu, you say that, do you want to put all the blame on me?" Liu Tie was furious, and he shouted: "Okay, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. My lord, I have evidence to prove that Lu Jitong committed murder. murderer!"

Kang Xu's eyes turned cold, he slapped the gavel abruptly, and shouted: "Liu Tie, in the courtroom, everything you said is testimony. Since you have the evidence, why didn't you confess it earlier?"

Liu Tie was trembling with fear, and he said tremblingly: "My lord, Cao Min was lucky, thinking that Lu Jitong would speak for me and save me. I don't want him to turn his face ruthlessly, cross the river and tear down the bridge. Cao Min was angry, so he decided to hand over the evidence... ...Please forgive me, my lord."

Kang Xu's face was gloomy, and he looked down on such a scheming and treacherous person like Liu Tie.

With a cold snort, Kang Xu said coldly: "What evidence do you have to prove that he is the murderer? If you dare to lie to me, it will be an extra crime. I will never let you down!"

"Caomin don't dare, Caomin don't dare." Liu Tie knelt on the ground, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and said, "Returning to my lord, every time Lu Jitong abused a prisoner woman, his hands would be covered with blood, and after that he would Wipe the blood with a white cloth. Caomin did things for him under his threat. In order to prevent him from being ruthless, Caomin secretly hid the white cloth where he had scratched the blood, including when Tao Zhaoxue was killed. The white cloth he wiped on."

Kang Xu and Xiao Wu looked at each other, and their eyes lit up at the same time.

The blood was wiped from the white cloth, and even if the blood dried up, it would leave obvious blood stains.

And the blood came from Lu Jitong's hand, so there must be Lu Jitong's handprint on the white cloth.

As long as Lu Jitong's handprints are compared with the traces on the white cloth, it can be confirmed whether Lu Jitong is the real murderer or not.

"Where are those evidences now?" Kang Xu asked hurriedly.

"My lord, I'm now in the kangtou of the earthen house where the villain in Hetou Village lives." Liu Tie replied honestly.

"Xiao Wu, hurry up and take him to get the evidence!" Kang Xu said decisively without hesitation.

Xiao Wu put down the Langhao pen, got up immediately, led several skilled government servants, escorted Liu Tie out of the county government office, and rushed to Hetou Village at full speed.

"My lord, this is a false accusation! I have never met this person before, so how can I instruct him to do things that are worse than beasts?" Lu Jitong saw Liu Tie leave, his expression became serious, and he shouted.

On the contrary, Kang Xu picked up the teacup calmly. The evidence Liu Tie said was crucial.As long as he got the evidence, he could be sure whether Lu Jitong was the murderer or not.

"Oh, this is really weird. One is a kid from a rich family living in Zhengyang City, and the other is a ruffian from a poor village. You two can't beat each other. Why did he frame you?"

Lu Jitong frowned, Kang Xu's words made him speechless, he couldn't figure it out, he had never met Liu Tie, why would he frame himself?
"In addition to this, I have other evidence. This is the oral testimony of the three women I rescued from the dungeon of the Lu family's old house. It clearly records your evil deeds. I can let them come and talk to you." You insist." Kang Xu ordered people to hand over the testimony to Lu Jitong.

Lu Jitong took the testimony and read it carefully.

"You are the master of the dungeon, there is no doubt about it. Now I will talk about the case of Tao Zhaoxue's murder." Kang Xu picked up the autopsy sheet and said, "This autopsy sheet was filled out by me and Wu Zuo. During the autopsy, Tao and his wife were present. Now, let me tell you about the murderer's brutal killing methods, and see if you can remember some of them, brother Lu."
