This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 680 Finding a Case
Ye Linxue, who was standing beside Wen Ruyan, frowned, glanced at the people in the county office and said, "Who do you think the murderer is?"

Wen Ruyan smiled again, and said, "Let's see."

With his expression on his face, Ye Linxue looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Why do I feel like you already know who it is?"

Wen Ruyan smiled without saying a word.

Only from what Sun said just now, Wen Ruyan did know who the murderer was.

There are so many wonders in the world, I always thought it was a story before, but I didn't expect that it would really appear in front of me one day.

This Xiangtai County is very prosperous, and the magistrate who came to this county should not be the kind of person who is corrupt and perverts the law, otherwise the people here would not live and work in peace and contentment like this, but Wen Ruyan felt that since he came, he couldn't make a trip in vain. Even if the county magistrate is not the kind of person who is greedy for ink, Wen Ruyan still wants to see his ability to solve cases.

As a parent official, it doesn't mean that you are a good official if you are not greedy for ink.

Just like Liu Shiru, governor of Jingzhou, isn't he also not greedy?But one inaction will harm the local people.

In the courtroom, the county magistrate frowned, thought for a long time, then slapped the gavel, and ordered to the audience, "Pass down!"

Not long after, Wu Zuo arrived, inspected the body and said: "My lord, this person died last night. Judging from the signs of the body, he was probably suddenly attacked on the back of the head at the time of You, and then strangled to death alive." .”

As soon as he said this, the little woman's face turned pale, and Dang even burst into tears again.

The county magistrate patted the gavel, stopped the little woman from crying, and then stepped back before ordering her, and then said to the boatman kneeling on the ground: "When did you salvage this corpse?" ?”

The old man was already a little scared because he had provoked such a case, so he didn't dare to hide anything at this moment, so he hurriedly said, "Returning to my lord, the grass people probably found this corpse in the morning."

"When the body was found, did you see any silver on him?"

Even though the old man was terrified, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, the little woman heard what the little woman said just now. That's 30 taels of silver. How can I not see it when I wear it on my body? The villain really doesn't have the courage Go move this silver tael."

The county magistrate nodded. In fact, the suspicion of the boatman was not too great. How could a man of his age kill a man in his prime?

Thinking of this, the magistrate immediately focused his eyes on Zhang Yue who was kneeling on the ground, and looked at him and said, "Zhang Yue, I ask you, where were you last night?"

Zhang Yue became anxious when he heard this, and quickly raised his head and said in a panic: "My lord, you don't doubt that I killed Brother Sun, how is this possible! I grew up with Brother Sun since childhood, how could I Kill him!"

The county magistrate slapped the gavel again, and said angrily: "Whatever I ask you, you just answer. Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Zhang Yue was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "Last night at Youshi, the villain was waiting for Big Brother Sun at home."

"Who can testify against you?"

Zhang Yue smiled wryly, and said: "The villain is a loner, how can anyone testify for me!"

After saying this, Zhang Yue seemed to have thought of something, and continued: "By the way, at [-]:[-] yesterday, the villain bought a catty of pork from Butcher Zhang, and the villain cooked at home last night. Waiting for Brother Sun, the neighbors should be able to hear the commotion if you want to come, so you might as well send them a question."

The county magistrate nodded, and then ordered Ye Zi to pass on the butcher and Zhang Yue's neighbors, and after these people went to court, they did testify for Zhang Yue.

Especially his neighbor, who said bluntly that he saw smoke from cooking in Zhang Yue's house last night, and heard the sound of pots and bowls being knocked on the ground in his yard at about a quarter of the next hour, presumably during the cooking process Accidentally broke the bowl.

Hearing the neighbor's testimony, Zhang Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After these people withdrew, the county magistrate's brows were locked together again. Sun Fan died in Youshi, and Zhang Yue was at home in Youshi. It is impossible that he killed Sun Fan in his own home. He cooked Neighbors can hear the noises that come out, so how can they not hear the murder?
Could it be that this case has nothing to do with Zhang Yue?Is it because Sun Fan has too much money on his body and provokes other people with malicious intentions, and then kills people and steals money?
If it goes like this, the case will be difficult to solve.

The county magistrate frowned all the time, thinking about the key point, and a large group of people outside the county government office were also whispering.

After a long time, the county magistrate who had no clue was about to withdraw temporarily, but at this moment, Wen Ruyan, who was standing outside with his arms crossed across his chest, suddenly said loudly: "Since you haven't seen Sun Fan, then Why did you know he wasn't at home when you knocked on the door?"

As soon as he said these words, the county government office suddenly fell into a strange silence, and the frowning county magistrate suddenly had a flash of light, and then he slapped the gavel fiercely, and said angrily to the low-level government servant : "Come here, take this piece of jump for me!"

Looking at the yamen servants walking on both sides, Zhang Yue suddenly exclaimed: "My lord, what are you doing? The villain is wronged, the villain is wronged!"

The county magistrate slammed the gavel and said angrily, "Since you said you didn't see Sun Fan last night, how do you know that Sun Fan is not at home?"

He carefully recalled what the little woman said just now. When Zhang Yue went to knock on the door of his house, he said, "Do you know where Brother Sun has gone?"

Does this sentence reveal that he knows that Sun Fan is not at home at the moment?
"That's the villain. That's just a casual statement, my lord. Besides, haven't the neighbors of the villain already testified? The villain was cooking at home last night."

The county magistrate was startled for a moment, then looked at Wen Ruyan who was standing outside.

Wen Ruyan still folded his arms, and said with a light smile, "I guess there should be some kind of dog or cat in Yue's house."

The county magistrate immediately reacted, and then said to Zhang Yue: "Do you have such animals in your family?"

Zhang Yue's pupils suddenly dilated.

The county magistrate sneered and said: "Don't deny it, I can send someone to your house to check."

Zhang Yue gritted his teeth: "What does this have to do with cats and dogs?"

The county magistrate smiled and said: "Just keep this kind of animal in a cage, then put some pots and pans on the cage, and then put some things that animals like to eat outside the cage, such as the catty you bought. Pork! As long as they want to eat, they will definitely struggle, and during the struggle, the tableware on the cage will naturally be knocked over to the ground, this is the news you deliberately spread!"

Zhang Yue, who was pushed to the ground by two yamen servants, suddenly turned pale, and was anxious to give an explanation, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation. At this time, he could only sigh in resignation , explained what happened.

It turns out that he has been addicted to gambling these years, and his family's property has long been wiped out, and Sun Fan, who was not as good as him before, suddenly returned home one day. He was naturally jealous, and when he went out to buy pork, he just watched from a distance. When he arrived, Sun Fan was wandering around choosing gifts for himself.

All of a sudden, the evil was on the verge of courage, as long as he killed this Sun Fan tonight, and then he figured out a way to win the heart of this little widow, wouldn't the money that Sun Fan earned be his own?

Moreover, he has been away from home for the past year, and he takes care of this little woman a lot on weekdays. When his husband dies, wouldn't he be the first to get the moon?

After listening to his explanation, the little woman rushed towards him like crazy.

Outside the county government office, Ye Linxue turned her head and looked at Wen Ruyan angrily and said, "Actually, you knew that Zhang Yue was the murderer right from the beginning, right? You didn't tell me, heh."
