Demon detective

Chapter 39 The real murderer
Sima Xin's words stunned everyone present in disbelief.

what! ?

Song Zhili's eyes widened, all inconceivable and completely messy.

The yamen servants and the arresters stared wide-eyed, all at a loss.

Even Qiu Batian and other criminals were overwhelmed with amazement, and some even suspected that there was something wrong with their ears and they heard it wrong.

However, if someone observes carefully, they can clearly see that the scholar named Liu Wenbin shuddered involuntarily after hearing these words.

Obviously, the person who was most surprised at the scene was this person!

"My lord," Liu Wenbin hastily raised his head to defend, "What kind of joke are you kidding? I... I am the plaintiff! You... What do you mean?"

Liu Wenbin's words made everyone feel relieved.

Especially those villagers who followed Liu Wenbin to sue, they believed in Liu Wenbin, so naturally they couldn't believe such nonsense.

Others, however, only thought that the gentleman joining the army was joking.

However, Sima Xin's face became more and more serious, and he didn't look like he was joking at all.

"Song County Magistrate," Sima Xin took out a document from the case, pointed at the document and said to Song Zhili, "Look carefully, this is called investigation!"

"This……"

The situation on the scene had far exceeded Song Zhili's predictions. He couldn't figure out what Sima Xin was going to do.
But Chen Houlu behind him seemed to realize that the situation was not good, his face turned pale with nervousness, and he was trembling all over.

"Liu Wenbin, courtesy name Xingguo, from Qian'an County, Songzhou, aged 27..." Sima Xin read according to the information, "He is currently studying at Xuanwu Academy in Yanping County, hoping to take the provincial examination next year.

"Liu Wenbin, let me ask you, is this information true?"

"It's true, it's true," Liu Wenbin replied hastily, and then asked, "My lord, is there any problem?"

"Hehe," Sima Xin sneered, and said, "You made up these identities! In your name, only the word 'Wen' is correct. Your original name was Pan Wending, isn't it!?"

"what!?"

Hearing this, Liu Wenbin couldn't hide his trembling again, and there was great surprise in his eyes.

"My lord..." However, he still forced himself to shake his head and deny it calmly, "Where did you start? Pan Wending, why can't I understand it?"

"Don't you understand?" Sima Xin sneered again, "I've seen too many people like you who don't cry when they don't see the coffin! Don't you understand? Since I can tell you your real name, then It must have been clear about your details long ago, and if you deny it, what's the point?"

"This... big... my lord..." Liu Wenbin began to hesitate, "this... where do I start, my lord?"

"I think most of the people here are locals," Sima Xin asked the others. "Wouldn't you think of something when you heard the name Pan Wending?"

This……

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't think of anything at all.

"Qiu Zhennong," Sima Xin suddenly shouted at Qiu Batian, "What about you? Don't you know?"

"Ah?" Qiu Batian was startled, and hurriedly fell to his knees, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still shook his head repeatedly, expressing that he hadn't heard of it.

"Huh," Sima Xin snorted coldly and shook his head. After pondering for a few seconds, he picked up the information, turned to the second page and read, "Liu Wenbin's real name is Pan Wending. He lives in Liujia Village, Dongyang County, Qian'an County. He is 31 years old and married to Ruolan. They have a son, who is six years old this year..."

Hearing Sima Xin's words, Liu Wenbin's face finally changed drastically, and he lowered his head dejectedly.

However, others still hear in a cloud of fog, not knowing what is the meaning of Sima's beliefs?
They just heard that it seemed that Liu Wenbin had concealed his marriage history.

"This is your current message," Sima Xin asked, "Do you need me to read your previous message?"

Liu Wenbin lowered his head and did not speak.

"Okay," Sima Xin had no choice but to continue reading, "Your father's name is Pan Longshan, a native of Yanping County, you..."

"Ah!?" Unexpectedly, before Sima Xin finished reading, Qiu Batian suddenly fell to the ground and said in surprise, "So... so it was him!?"

"Okay," Sima Xin looked at Qiu Batian and said, "You finally remembered, right? This Pan Longshan is the former boss of Zuixianju, right?"

Oh……

Suddenly, there was an uncontrollable uproar in the lobby.

No one would have guessed that this Liu Wenbin's father was actually the former boss of Zuixianju!

In Yanping County, almost everyone knows that the Zuixianju was forcibly occupied by Qiu Batian.

In this way, it means that the case has undergone a qualitative change in an instant.

"Ah? How did this happen?" The villagers who filed the complaint together were all surprised and excited, "He is Pan Longshan's son, so... this case... Could it be..."

"Oh, it turned out to be him," Qiu Batian's subordinates commented, "It seems that he wanted to seek revenge, so he entrapped us, right? Yes, it must be like this..."

At the same time, Song Zhili's face was ashes, as if he had been burned by a fire.

He felt his heart tremble, but his blood was coagulating little by little.

How... how could this happen?
What about the conspiracy?

What about political struggle?

why! ?

Excited, he immediately raised his head, looking for someone in the crowd, it was the little policeman Xu Zhen who advised him.

Although he knew that Xu Zhen was injured and unconscious before, but out of instinct, he still looked for him.

Unexpectedly, he actually saw Xu Zhen in the crowd.

But seeing Xu Zhen standing among the arresting officers, he also had an unbelievable look on his face at the moment. It seems that Xu Zhen was also completely confused by this sudden reversal, right?

"Song magistrate," Sima Xin said to Song Zhili at this moment, "See? You have to act like an official when investigating a case. You have to be discerning, and you can't miss a single piece of information!

"Here, let me tell you one more thing," he said leisurely and complacently, "Have you checked the background of that old man Li, do you know who he is?

"Let me tell you now, Old Man Li's real name is Li Dashu. When he was young, he worked as a clerk in Zuixianju for 11 years!"

what! ?

Sima Xin's words once again surprised everyone.

"Pan Longshan once saved Li Dashu's life, and he has been kind to him," Sima Xin said. "So, in order to repay this kindness, this old man Li has every reason to follow Pan Wending's command and seek revenge from Qiu Batian together." !"

"No, it's not..." Finally, Liu Wenbin raised his head and argued, "That's not the case, I... I didn't, my lord, someone must have framed me, really, really, don't believe it!"

"Framing and framing, how can there be so many framing?" Sima Xin slapped the table, "Let me tell you, I found out these things bit by bit, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me.

"The whole case was all planned by you, in order to use Old Man Li's father and daughter to create public opinion, so as to bring down Qiu Zhennong and avenge your Pan family!"
