Chapter 20 Unannounced visit to Luojia Village

Sure enough, Ah Niu jumped up immediately, his face was flushed, and he asked in a trembling voice: "My mother, my mother, how is she? Why didn't she come in with you?"

Wu Yan said: "The jailer won't let me go, so you still know how to care about your mother."

A Niu said angrily: "She is my mother, how could I not care about her?"

"Then why do you still have to plead guilty? If you die, what will your mother do? You know, for the past three months, she has come to the Yamen gate every day to complain for you, and she is so haggard. Tomorrow you die, you Do you think your mother is still alive?"

A Niu sank down on the ground, and said painfully: "But after all, I killed people. What can I do? I'm really unfilial. I'm sorry for my mother."

"Tell me about how you killed Lin San."

"That day, I, I ran into Lin San outside the back wall of Luofu. We, we fought, he was not as strong as me, I pushed him to the ground, and he screamed like a pig to say that it hurts. I ignored him, that villain, I hated him to death, I spit on him, turned around and left. After walking a few steps, I heard him yelling from behind, blood, blood. I turned my head and glanced at him, seeing him Sit up from the ground, put one hand on the back of the head, and point at me and yell at me. I still ignored him and walked home. I didn't think he was going to die, I never thought of killing him, although that guy really damn .”

"Why do you say he deserves to die?"

A Niu said angrily, "He has lost all conscience and committed all kinds of evil."

Wu Yan pondered and said, "You mean when you left, Lin San sat up from the ground and scolded you?"

"Yeah, so I didn't expect him to die. Maybe, maybe it was because he bled too much afterwards, alas."

"Then, what happened to Miss Luo's bag of jewelry and money?"

"Didn't you already answer it when the case was tried in court? That's the way it is."

Wu Yan stared closely at A Niu's eyes and said, "I want to hear you say it again."

A Niu was so stared at her that he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her. He stammered and said, "I, that day I took advantage of the darkness and crawled into Miss Luo's boudoir. She and the girl were both asleep, and I, I went to sleep." Secretly searched a bag of valuables and took them away."

"Where did you crawl in?"

"window."

"Which window?"

"Huh? Oh, the one facing the back wall."

Wu Yan watched her words and expressions, and when she saw that A Niu mentioned the theft, she would look away and speak vaguely, so she couldn't help feeling suspicious.But after repeated interrogation, Ah Niu firmly insisted that he crawled into Miss Luo's boudoir through the window and stole the bag of belongings, and refused to say anything else.Seeing that she couldn't ask any more questions, Wu Yan had no choice but to leave.

Gong Zheng and Gong Zhi stood guard at the gate of the prison.Wu Yan came out and said to the two: "Brothers, I guess Ah Niu might not be the murderer. Time is urgent, can I ask the two brothers to help me again?"

The two nodded.

Wu Yan said with great joy: "Brother Gongzheng, please go to Luojia Village in the eastern suburbs of the city with me. Brother Gongzhi, please help inquire about the situation of the deceased Lin San, how he is related to the other people involved in the case, and what is his current situation?" Where are they buried?"

The back wall of Luo's mansion is made of bluestone. Ms. Luo's boudoir is close to the back wall, with the same color of bluestone. The carved beams and painted buildings are quite old, and they look very old.There is a small door on the back wall not far from the boudoir. The wooden door is closed tightly. It is probably the door that Housekeeper Luo Er mentioned.Outside the back wall was a large farmland, it was the slack season, it was very empty and lonely, Wu Yan frowned.

It happened that an old farmer walked by with a cow, Wu Yan stopped him and asked: "Old man, I heard that people were killed in this place a while ago, is it true?"

The old farmer replied: "Isn't it? Our place has always been peaceful. Thanks to the blessing of the prince, every family can live and work in peace and contentment. Who knows that a major event involving human life and heaven suddenly happened."

"The person who died is called Lin San, right? I heard that he was doing business in the city, why did he come to this place in the middle of the night?"

"Who knows?" The old farmer glanced at Luo Mansion, lowered his voice and said to Wu Yan, "Master, you should be careful when you say this, then Lin San may know the second butler Luo of Luo Mansion. Once I saw What they said in front of that door, they stopped talking as soon as they saw me pass by."

"Thank you for reminding me, old man." Wu Yan pointed to the two-story building inside the wall, and asked again, "Old man, is that Miss Luo's boudoir? She is a young lady of Luo Mansion, why does she live in such a remote place? Old. I think Luo Mansion is very big, and there seem to be many new houses in front of it.”
