Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 296 Important witnesses

At dusk, the people sent by the government to investigate Zhao Kui came back one after another. Seeing that it was getting late, the magistrate left the case for tomorrow to continue the investigation. Today is the end of the day.

As a result, Zhao Kui could only be imprisoned in a big prison, and just passed the night like this.Now he is like an ant on a hot pot, running around in a hurry.

He suddenly realized why the person who came to buy the house behaved so strangely. It turned out that all this was not accidental. He secretly guessed that the body of rich man Feng was buried in the cellar by the person who bought the house.

And the death of rich man Feng seems to have something to do with the man who bought the house.

Zhao Kui leaned his back on the stone wall of the prison, and muttered in a low voice, "That man, there is something really wrong. He bought a house but couldn't stay in it. Maybe he bought the house to hide the corpse."

Zhao Kui, who has now reacted, realizes that he regrets that he should not have sold the house in a hurry for money. He just sold the house for no reason. It's really worthless.

At this moment, Fang Shi, who was alone at home, was wondering why Zhao Kui hadn't come back since it was so late?

Of course she wished that Zhao Kui would never come back for the rest of her life, but it was a pity that this dream was hard to come true.

Just as she was muttering at home, two officers and soldiers came to her home and asked her to investigate Zhao Kui's affairs.

When Fang saw the officers and soldiers coming, she subconsciously thought that Zhao Kui had caused trouble in the town, so she recruited the officers and soldiers.

"You two officials, why are you here?" Fang asked politely.

The officers and soldiers replied, "Who are you from Zhao Kui? Is this Zhao Kui's home?"

Hearing this, Fang's heart sank, and she was even more sure that it was Zhao Kui who caused trouble outside, so she nodded and replied, "This is Zhao Kui's home, and I am his wife. If you dare to ask the official, it is Zhao Kui who came from here. What's the matter?"

The officers and soldiers didn't say anything, they just walked into the house first and searched around.After searching, they didn't find anything suspicious, so they asked Fang again.

"You are Zhao Kui's wife. You must know his usual whereabouts. Did he behave abnormally a while ago? Or where did he go for a long time?" one of the officers and soldiers asked.

Fang felt a little flustered, "He may not always tell me where he usually goes, and he doesn't allow me to meddle in his affairs. I only know that he likes to gamble and drink flowers and wine every time he goes to town. I don’t know anymore.”

"Gambling?" The officers and soldiers repeated.

Mrs. Fang nodded, "He likes to gamble very much. Every time he gets money, he has to gamble. However, official, although I don't know what Zhao Kui has committed, no matter what he does, it has nothing to do with me." , you must not involve me because of his affairs."

She has no feelings for Zhao Kui, and just wants to get rid of the relationship with herself.

The two officers and soldiers wrote down in their notebooks that Zhao Kui likes to gamble.

At this time, the two officers and soldiers noticed Fang's forehead. They saw a very obvious bruise on Fang's forehead, which seemed to be caused by a beating.

So the officers and soldiers asked, "You have a bruise on your forehead, who beat you? Is it Zhao Kui?"

Fang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and admitted, "Master, you are right, he was the one who beat you."

The two officers and soldiers immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Why, does he often beat you?"

Fang felt that there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so she told the truth, "That's right, as long as he gets upset, he hits me to vent his anger, and I can't resist, so I can only let him bully me."

"Oh? Then besides beating you, does he also attack others violently?" The officers and soldiers continued to ask.

Fang also answered truthfully, "Yes, he has a bad temper, and he often does things like fighting or bullying others, which is commonplace for him."

The two officers and soldiers quickly wrote down this point in their notebooks, and what Fang said unintentionally has become important evidence in the eyes of the officers and soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the officers and soldiers asked Fang a lot of things related to Zhao Kui's violence, and Fang answered them all.

The next day, the officers and soldiers sent by the prefect collected some evidence and came back to report to the prefect.

The two officers and soldiers who went to search Zhao Kui's house told the magistrate what Fang said.

The officers and soldiers who went to the casino to investigate brought more useful news, which surprised the prefect after hearing it.

The officers and soldiers reported back, "Yesterday, the younger ones asked around in the casino, and many of them said that they had seen Zhao Kui. In addition, there are three personal witnesses that can prove that Zhao Kui had an incident with rich man Feng in the casino some time ago. After the conflict, the three people have basically the same caliber, so there should be nothing wrong."

"What, there was a conflict between Zhao Kui and Rich Man Feng? Tell me in detail!" the magistrate immediately asked.

"Those three people testified that they saw Zhao Kui being kicked out of the casino by rich man Feng because of his gambling debts, and then Zhao Kui spoke ill of rich man Feng, and even uttered wild words that he would kill rich man Feng. But at that time they all thought that Zhao Kui I just said that in a moment of anger, but I didn't want it to become true."

When the magistrate heard this, he couldn't help but increase his doubts about Zhao Kui.

He asked, "Where are the three witnesses now? Are they willing to come and testify?"

The officers and soldiers replied, "Yes, they usually hang out in casinos, and they can be found at any time."

"Okay, then you call those three people over here, and I will interrogate them thoroughly." The magistrate got an important clue and was in a good mood.

Soon, the officers and soldiers brought the three personal certificates to the government. All three of them said that they had seen Zhao Kui and Mr. Feng had a conflict, and that Mr. Feng and Zhao Kui scolded each other at that time, and Mr. Feng was very angry for a while. He sent his men to beat Zhao Kui.

One of them swore, "That day, Zhao Kui didn't leave immediately after being beaten. Instead, he continued to swear at Rich Man Feng. He seemed very dissatisfied. When I saw his fierce face at that time, I felt a little scared. I didn’t expect it to actually happen now.”

Another witness also echoed, "That's right, I heard it clearly that day, but Zhao Kui said that he must kill Rich Man Feng to vent his anger. Zhao Kui has always been very hostile, even if he really I don't think it's strange that someone killed someone."

Seeing that the testimonies of these three people were so certain, the magistrate believed them, and asked them to sign the testimony and keep it as evidence.

Now, there are witnesses, and the physical evidence is the land deed. The witnesses and evidences are all there. The magistrate feels that the evidence is conclusive, and the rich man Feng was killed by Zhao Kui.
