Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 129
"You still dare to quibble now? Then I will convince you." Li Canghai snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed the thin servant by the collar, pointed to the scratch on his neck, and shouted: "Your neck What's with the scar?"

The thin servant panicked and stammered: "This... this is because I was bitten by a mosquito and I scratched it with my hand."

Li Canghai suddenly changed his gentleness before, and his voice instantly became sharper: "Scratched with your hands? That's a coincidence. When I checked the lady's body, I found some skin flakes from the fingernails of the lady's right hand. The blood stains indicate that Madam scratched the murderer before she died. Whether the scar on your neck was scratched by Madam can be determined by comparing Madam’s fingernails with the scar on your neck. You still want to deny it. Is it?"

The skinny servant knew that the matter had been exposed, and his face turned ashen. He knelt on the ground and began to cry: "My lord, please forgive me. It's just a little ghost who is obsessed with it. That's why I did something like a beast. Please forgive me!"

"Excuse me? I'm going to kill you!" Zuo Hongji stared angrily, grabbed the wooden stick from the nurse's hand, and beat the skinny servant hard.

The skinny servant was screaming again and again, if Li Canghai hadn't stopped him in time, Zuo Hongji would have beaten him to death.

"Evil slave, don't hurry up and tell the truth about what you did." Li Canghai stopped Zuo Hongji and asked the skinny servant to confess by himself. By the way, he asked Zuo Hongji and others to compare their deduction Yes, see if your inference is wrong.

The skinny servant was covered in blood, but how could he dare to complain, knelt on the ground, sobbing and replied: "I heard that the master has a priceless treasure early in the morning. After I brought hot water for the wife, I Sneaked into the master's room and stole the treasure. Originally, the little one wanted to steal the treasure and slipped out. Unexpectedly, the wife heard the movement. In a hurry, the villain covered his wife's mouth and nose with a towel. Then... the little one Seeing Madam fainted, she suddenly became lustful, and wanted to take the opportunity to belittle Madam, but Madam woke up suddenly, and the little one was afraid, so he pressed Madam's arm. But Madam struggled harder, and I was worried that things would be revealed In desperation, he grabbed the hairpin and inserted it into Madam's chest."

Speaking of this, the skinny servant kowtowed desperately: "Master... It's all a little ghost, but the little one really didn't intend to kill Madam on purpose! Please spare my life, please spare my life!"

Wang Buquan was very surprised, the situation that this skinny servant confessed was exactly the same as what Li Canghai said, as if he was standing by and watching when the skinny servant did the murder.

"Don't worry, this matter is not over yet." Li Canghai rubbed his chin, stared at him and said, "This 'Snail Jade' is a treasure, and the place where it is hidden is extremely hidden, how did you find out where the treasure is hidden?" ?”

Zuo Hongji was reminded by his words, he held a wooden stick, and said sharply: "I seldom take out this 'snail jade', and even rarely mention it in front of people, how do you know that the 'snail jade' is hidden? In the secret compartment? Tell me the truth, or I will chop you into meat paste and feed it to the dogs!"

The skinny servant was trembling with fear, he shrank his neck, and said tremblingly: "Yes, it's the king...! Ah~!"

Before the skinny servant finished speaking, Wang Buquan suddenly kicked the skinny servant in the heart, directly kicking him to suffocate him.

Wang Buquan's kick was too sudden and his movements were too fast, so that Li Canghai had no time to stop him.

"Lieutenant Wang, what are you doing?" Li Canghai's voice suddenly rose a lot, and he said sharply.

Wang Buquan said bitterly: "Brother Zuo and I love each other like brothers, this evil servant killed my siblings, I wish I could kill him with my own hands!"

Zuo Hongji was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to have thought that Wang Buquan would treat his wife's death as his own business, he was so moved that he almost shed tears.

Li Canghai frowned, the skinny servant had already passed out at this moment, and had to give up some doubts.

At this time, Zaoli from the yamen rushed over, saw Wang Buquan, and immediately bowed to him: "I have seen the county captain!"

With his hands behind his back, Wang Buquan pointed at the skinny servant lying on the ground with his chin, and said calmly: "This evil servant first broke into the house and stole the treasures hidden by the good man Zuo, and then killed Mrs. Zuo. The prison must be strictly guarded, and a decision will be made after the county magistrate comes back."

Several soap slaves said yes, and then dragged the skinny servant out.

The murderer pleaded guilty, and everyone applauded, especially Zuo Hongji, who had vented a lot of grief in his heart, and at this moment he treated Li Canghai as a guest of honor.

Even Wang Buquan was convinced. Li Canghai's supernatural reasoning ability, relying on some inconspicuous clues, solved a murder case in just half an hour. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if others said it would He won't believe it.

"I didn't expect Xiongtai to have such abilities. Looking at Xiongtai's behavior, he is definitely not an ordinary businessman. How can Xiongtai be so good?" Wang Buquan's tone was no longer as aggressive as before, and he asked curiously.

Li Canghai smiled calmly and said, "Wang Xianwei has won the award. I just had a few contacts with Mr. Zhang from Dali Temple. I heard Mr. Zhang talk about some methods of investigating cases. It's really hard to be elegant."

"Master Zhang from Dali Temple? But Master Zhang Yingyan?" Wang Buquan asked in surprise.

Li Canghai made a surprised look, and said, "Exactly, does Wang Xianwei also know Mr. Zhang?"

Wang Buquan immediately put on a smiling face, and said: "I am just a small county captain, how can I see Master Zhang's dignity? Master Zhang is the minister of Dali Temple, no one in the world knows it? Unexpectedly, my brother He is Master Zhang's master apprentice, no wonder he has such abilities!"

Li Canghai sneered in his heart, Dali Siqing was indeed called Zhang Yingyan, but he had nothing to do with him, he just borrowed his name.

"It seems that the reputation of Dali Temple Minister is really useful." Li Canghai murmured in his heart for a while, but on the surface he said modestly: "Wang Xianwei is too famous, I am stupid, how can I be worthy of it?" I am an excellent apprentice of Mr. Zhang, isn't that why I go out to do business?"

"In this way, Xiongtai's business must be very big!"

From Li Canghai's arrogance all the time, as well as his miraculous reasoning skills, Wang Buquan believed his words.

With a Dali temple official as his backer, it's no wonder that he is so arrogant and doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

"Where, where. Small business, just to survive." Li Canghai maintained his usual indifference from the beginning to the end, which made Wang Buquan more convinced of his relationship with Zhang Yingyan.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Zuo Hongji suddenly felt excited. The tragic death of his wife was quickly forgotten by him.
