C177 (1/2)
Hearing this, the waiter turned around and smiled at Xiao Qing, ”Aunt, tell me. Whatever this little one knows, I will tell you.”
When Xiaoqing heard this, she gave a faint smile. The waiter felt that this woman before him seemed to be filled with tenderness, thinking to himself that he had never seen such a beautiful woman before.
At this moment, Zhang Long, who was standing to the side, looked somewhat sullen. He coughed lightly, and the waiter finally came back to his senses.
Xiaoqing opened her mouth and said, ”Let me ask you, do you know that there is a shop assistant called Changyu in this county? Like you, he is also a waiter of a restaurant.”
Hearing this, the waiter's pupils constricted, but he still had a face full of smiles as he said, ”The person you are talking about, I know about it. This is the reason why everyone in the village went to the magistrate court to cause trouble.”
After Xiaoqing heard his answer, she didn't say anything else. They hastily ate a few mouthfuls of food and left the restaurant.
After returning to the county magistrate court, Xiaoqing and company reported their findings to Luo Lingwei. At this time, it was already the last moment of the Proclamation of Liberation, and it was already late at night. However, Luo Lingwei was hiding something deep within her heart. Moreover, when she heard Xiaoqing report on the words of the waiter with a strange expression, she knew that there was a trick to it and immediately ordered the bailiff to go get the person.
As for Whitey, Luo Lingwei arranged for it to examine Miss Zhao's corpse. When Luo Lingwei looked at the records on the file, they were full of holes. She did not know why this muddle-headed official decided the case so easily.
As a result, Luo Lingwei suspected that the coroner's inspection of the corpses was also done by a county magistrate.
About an hour later, several servants escorted the waiter to the front of the hall. The waiter was kneeling in front of the hall. Although he looked a bit panicked, he forced himself to remain calm. He didn't say a word. His eyeballs were rolling around, as if he was planning something.
Seeing the situation, Luo Lingwei did not pay any attention to him. Instead, she sat down and looked at the file. Immediately, the entire hall became silent. The atmosphere was extremely depressing. Even the few yamen runners who were on duty felt their hairs stand on end from this depressing atmosphere.
However, after a while, Little White came back after checking the corpse and she put the autopsy results on the corpse rack. Luo Lingwei looked at it for a moment and nodded for Little White to rest, then she looked at the file again.
Roughly two hours later, the sky had already darkened. The waiter kneeling below the hall felt his legs go numb. The yamen runner standing by the side also felt drowsy. Seeing this, Luo Lingwei slapped the wood and shouted: ”Insolent dog thief, why aren't you trying to attract me!”
When the waiter suddenly heard this sentence, he hurriedly replied, ”This humble one is wrongly accused, this humble one does not know anything about Chang Yu!”
The yamen runner at the side was also frightened but regained his wits after a moment. He shouted, ”Formidable!”
Luo Lingwei couldn't help but laugh when she saw the waiter say this.
”You dog, I haven't even asked you what you're admitting, but you've already said it out!”
At this moment, the waiter's face was filled with vexation. He'd originally wanted to fill his stomach with words, but now he didn't expect that this esteemed wangfei wouldn't follow the rules and come straight at him with words to deceive him.
”Since you've already said it, then go ahead and say it. Why did you kill the young miss of the Zhao Family and then blame it on Chang Yu!”
Luo Lingwei purposely blamed him for this. If he admitted to it now, then it would save him a lot of trouble. If he did not admit it, then he could also extract some other clues from him.
