Chapter 73 (2/2)

He took all the necessary tools that he had prepared in the carriage and followed Chaoyang to qiantangkou in the evening.

It was a remote farmhouse reservoir in the suburb of Beijing. The dead man was about 40 years old. His body was wrinkled and obviously soaked for a long time.

After examining the corpse, Xiang Wan glances over the faces of a group of onlookers and then walks to Zhang Chengying.

”How's it going?” The question is obviously the result of her identification.

”The dead were about 40 years old. The time of death was from midnight to midnight last night. The cause of death was that he was hit by a sharp weapon and pushed into the water after being hit by a sharp weapon. There was a injury on his body that proved that he had struggled to fight before he died. Obviously, water was not the first crime scene.”

Zhang Chengying listened to her finish, nodded, eyes in a crowd of onlookers on the villagers who swept the aisle, ”who is the family of the dead?”

A man in his twenties was pushed out. As soon as he saw the senior official, he dodged with fear in his eyes and said in a trembling voice, ”if you reply to me, it's the second uncle of the grass people who died. The grass people don't know exactly what happened.”

”Who's in your second uncle's family?”

”There's my second aunt and a ten-year-old boy.”

”Where is your second aunt now?”

As soon as the words came out, the villagers suddenly got excited. Before the man could answer, a brave villager said, ”that woman has disappeared this morning. Maybe she killed Er Gouzi!”

”Yes, she has been confused with Liu Langshan in the village next door for a long time. A few days ago, I saw Liu Langshan come to ER Gouzi's house to hang around. As a result, er Gouzi caught her in the right direction and they had a fight. It was a tragic incident. As a result, er Gouzi died within a few days. Maybe it was the pair of Jian Fu and Yin Fu who did it!”

”Yes, yes! It must be

For a moment, the crowd was full of chatter. Zhang Chengying tightened her eyebrows and said, ”come here, pass on the official's order, and bring Er Gouzi's daughter-in-law and Liu Langshan for questioning.”

After a captor went to pick up the man, he looked in the crowd for a while in the evening. His eyes fell on ER Gouzi for a long time, and he didn't speak.

About an hour later, the second daughter-in-law was arrested with Liu Langshan. At that time, the second daughter-in-law was holding her son with a parcel in her hand. It seemed that she was really running away.

As soon as they saw the official and saw the dead Er Gouzi, they were so scared that their legs softened. They knelt down on the ground with an ordinary voice. The daughter-in-law of the ER Gouzi immediately cried, ”you are wronged. People are not killed by people's wives. It has nothing to do with people's wives!”

That Liu Lang Shan is also a face of fear, flustered way, ”although I and two dog son a few days ago, but I absolutely have no intention to kill him! I knew that I was not right with Si Niang, so I went back to my home after that day and decided to change my ways. I didn't want to kill anyone

Zhang Chengying listen to two people explain, twist eyebrow stare at the woman named four Niang way, ”since the person is not you killed, why do you escape?”

”I......” that four niangs frighten to have no human color, be asked clearly flustered incomparable, can't answer words.

Zhang Chengying looked at Liu Langshan again, ”since you say you know you are not right with Si Niang, why are you together now after someone else's husband died?”

”This is... Unjust, my Lord!” Liu Langshan was so anxious that he was sweating, ”yes... Si Niang came to me and said that Er Gouzi was dead... I... I really don't know what happened!”

”Liu Lang... You --” four Niang choked speechless, did not expect to be betrayed at the critical moment, immediately repeatedly kowtowed, ”I did not kill my husband, please learn from me, the people's wife is wronged!”

The ten-year-old child in her arms just cried with fright. The fourth mother hugged her and trembled with fright.

Zhang Chengying calm face, ”since you say you are wronged, then the matter of that night from the truth, no concealment!”

”Yes... Yes!” Si Niang nodded again and again, and now she didn't dare to be slighted. She said, ”Er Gouzi lost the gamble that night. When he came back from drinking some wine, he wanted to talk to me... Well, I was so tired that I didn't agree... Er Gouzi was very angry, so we quarreled. Later, he beat me. He was so angry that he said he was going to look for someone outside, And then he went away cursing

Speaking of this, Si Niang raised her head, ”my Lord, I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill people! Later... On the fifth night, I heard the villagers say that the man died in the reservoir. When they asked who the man didn't come back, I thought of Er Gouzi. Now I was scared. I was afraid that the news of the quarrel between the two people would spread and others thought that I killed him, I went to Liu Langshan with my children and things all night to discuss... I thought that in case he was willing to take me away... I didn't really kill people. I didn't kill people! ”

The child in her arms was crying so much that Zhang Chengying frowned.

”Who was the first of you to find out that Er Gouzi died last night?”
