Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 147 The Case of the Naked Corpse
After Hai Daliang agreed to Hu Qian's conditions, Hu Qian called Baitou and asked him to go to Wang Shengdong's house to check to see if this person was as miserable as Hai Daliang said.

As for what Hai Daliang said about Mr. Hang and others being dissatisfied with Hu Qian and wanting to punish him, he didn't care too much.

Others might take it seriously, but he wouldn't.

Rather than being troubled by being an official, it would be better to go back and be a rich man, wouldn't it be happy.

Just as he was thinking, the yamen servant suddenly came to report that there was a homicide, so Hu Qian hurried over to have a look.

Hu Qian then changed into his official uniform again, and brought Ma Liu and other yamen servants to the scene.

A woman in her 30s died naked at home with a short knife stuck in her chest. There were traces of intercourse before her death, and a severed finger was on one side of the body.

While watching, Hu Qian asked, "Do you know this woman?"

Ma Liudao: "Master, this seems to be Huang Zhao, the widow of Mr. Huang's family."

"Go to the neighbors and ask about Huang Zhao's situation, and see who she associates with."

Hu Qian took a closer look at the dagger, only to see that the word "Ma Dong" was engraved on it.

So he asked, "Is there a man named Ma Dong in this city?"

"Master, there is a gangster named Ma Dong in the west of the city."

"Immediately take this Ma Dong back to the Yamen for questioning.

Wu Zuo, come here to examine the body. "

Wu Zuo looked at it for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Except for the wound on the chest, the deceased had no other wounds, it is presumed that he was raped first, then stabbed into the heart and lungs with a short knife and died.

According to the situation at the scene, the short knife and severed finger should have been left by the murderer. "

Hu Qian nodded, and checked the scene again, but found no valuable clues.

On the contrary, the neighbors said that Huang Zhao's disobedience and flirtatious nature, almost every night someone sneaked into her yard.

Occasionally, three or five people would come together, and if there was a lot of trouble, the indecent sounds could be heard far away at night.

Neighbors and neighbors all cast aside.

But because Mr. Huang was wealthy during his lifetime, the Huang Zhao family was not short of money. Some of those men came for people, and some came for money.

There are also people who come when there are many people, and people who don’t want to come when there are few people.

And because of the Huang Zhao family's mid-life mistress, she is quite attractive, and there are people of all kinds of teachings and high-levels under the attracting bees and butterflies.

Hu Qian frowned when he heard this, the social relations of the Huangzhao family are so complicated, and it is not new at all to have romantic disputes.

Before asking, the head catcher Ma Liu ran over and said, "Master, that Ma Dong has already been taken back to the county government, but..."

"Just what?"

"Master, just go and see."

Hu Qian immediately returned to the county government lobby, and saw a strong man kneeling on the ground.

Seeing Hu Qian coming in, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "Ah... ah..."

Hu Qian was taken aback, "Is this a mute?"

Ma Liudao: "The villain asked his parents and said that he was fine before, but suddenly he couldn't speak this morning."

Hu Qian squeezed his hands, and saw that one of his little fingers was indeed broken.

"Ma Dong! You killed the Huang Zhao family!"

Ma Dong said "ah", and pointed to his mouth with his finger, sweating from his brow.

Hu Qian shouted: "Bring a pen and paper!"

Someone immediately took a pen and paper and put it in front of Ma Dong.

However, Ma Dong shook his head repeatedly, pointed to the pen and paper on the ground, and waved his hand to say no.

Ma Liudao: "My lord, since Ma Dong's name was written on the short knife, and his fingers were left at the scene, he must have killed the murderer, so don't ask, just ask him to sign and draw.

If not!Serious punishment!Forgive him for not being able to hold on a few times. "

Hu Qian shook his head and said: "If it's what he did, why didn't he take away the knife with his name engraved on it after he committed the crime, why didn't he pick up his fingers!
Since no one discovered the murder at night, it meant that he had every chance to destroy the evidence. "

"That……

Could it be that he deliberately left evidence to confuse our sight because he wanted to cover it up? "

Hu Qian said: "If it were you, would you?"

Ma Liu smiled embarrassingly, "I don't think so, it's because the villain thinks too much.

But if Ma Dong did not commit the crime, who would the murderer be? "

Hu Qian said with a smile: "Obviously, this person must have a grudge against Ma Dong, so after the murder, he intentionally left Ma Dong's dagger and fingers at the scene, and blamed him on him!"

"The dagger with the name engraved on it is understandable. It should have been stolen from him by someone else and then left on purpose, but this finger can't be stolen."

Hu Qian nodded, "That means that Ma Dong should have been there when Huang Zhao was killed."

"It's also at the scene. Could it be the kind where many people are together? I heard that Mrs. Huang Zhao likes it very much..."

He was talking, when he saw Hu Qian glaring at him, he couldn't help but shut up immediately.

Hu Qian said: "No matter what, when the crime happened last night, the murderer must have been at the scene just like Ma Dong.

Maybe the two had a dispute over the order of priority, or a dispute over the position. In short, there was a dispute, and then the murderer killed Huang Zhao first, and then blamed Ma Dong. "

"The villain understands, now go and arrest all the people who have something to do with the Huang Zhao family, interrogate them one by one, and we will definitely find the murderer."

Hu Qian nodded, "Not only that, but also bring back all those who have hatred against Ma Dong. The murderer must be among these people."

While talking, he seemed to have remembered something, and shouted, "Where is Wang Shisan!"

Wang Shisan quickly ran over, "Master, the villain is here, what can I order?"

"Take someone to Ma Dong's house and ask, what Ma Dong usually likes to do."

"Yes!"

Hu Qian ordered Ma Dong to be imprisoned first, then returned to the second hall, called out Baitou, and said, "Go ask the mouse in Huang Zhao's house, who was at her house last night."

Baitou responded and immediately ran along the wall.

Perhaps because it has become a spirit, its speed is much faster than that of ordinary mice.

That is Hu Qian, as an ordinary person, it is impossible to catch it.

At noon, Yingcai made some hot soup and a few appetizers, and served Hu Qian and Rong Ning'er to eat.

Rong Ning'er said: "Sir, my sister can't procrastinate, lest you have long nights and dreams."

Hu Qian clamped a fat intestine for her: "Okay, I know, I have already figured out a plan, and I can rescue her tonight."

"Tonight? A plan? What plan? Why don't I know?"

Hu Qian said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, you will know when the time comes."

Rong Ning'er said: "Is this strategy safe?"

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

"No, concubine means.

With Xianggong's current status, if he openly bought his sister back, I'm afraid it would affect Xianggong's reputation, and when the time comes, there will be rumors, what should be done.

And I don't know how much the old bustard knows about this matter, if it leaks out, the concubines and sisters will be fine, they are content with living for so many days, I'm afraid it will hurt my husband. "

Hu Qian put the dishes and chopsticks away, walked over and hugged her in his arms, "Why do you keep saying such unlucky words, don't worry, I have thought about this a long time ago."

Rong Ning'er wanted to eat fat intestines again, but was hugged by Hu Qian.

"Go, go to bed and eat."

"Now? It's broad daylight."

Even though she said so, she still snuggled into Hu Qian's arms delicately, and when she got to the bedside, she reached out to take Hu Qian's robe belt.

When he was about to start, he suddenly saw the sunlight coming in from the window, and he couldn't help saying: "Wait a minute, I will put down the curtain first."

Hu Qian said: "How can I see clearly when I put it down?"

Rong Ning'er was surprised and ashamed: "Do you still want to watch?"

"Of course you have to watch it, just look, hear and ask..."

A series of actions made Yingcai's blood boil. After a while, when she heard the voice from inside, her face flushed even more. She quickly closed the door and walked out, guarding the door faithfully.

In the afternoon, the white heads sent out earlier came back first.

"Master, five men came to Huang Zhao's house last night, the first one was Zhang San, who was the neighbor next door, and he went back after less than a moment of frenzy.

The one behind was Song Jia, who seemed to be asking for money, and left after a while.

The next three people came together, Ma Dong, Liu Er and Ding Qiang.

When it was almost three o'clock, the mice were all asleep, and they didn't know what happened behind them. "

Hu Qian nodded and rewarded it with a piece of pine nut cake.

After a while, Ma Liu and Wang Shisan also came back.

Ma Liu knelt down and worshiped like asking for credit: "My lord, my villain has already found out that there are a total of 32 people who have ties to the Huang family, and they have all been brought.

In addition, there were two people who had a grudge against Ma Dong, and they were all brought along. "

There was a murder case in the county, and it was that promiscuous and charming widow who died again. All the women clapped their hands and applauded. When they saw the police arresting people everywhere, they all gathered outside the lobby curiously, waiting to see what happened. Who is the real murderer, and who is having an affair with this widow.

Hu Qian looked at the tall, short, fat and thin men kneeling in the hall, and then asked Wang Shisan, "How is your investigation going?"

Wang Shisan said: "My lord, it has been found out that Ma Liu is ignorant and incompetent. He only likes to ask questions, and even likes to gamble. Because he is the only child in the family, his parents dare not control him very much."

Hu Qian nodded, and looked at Ma Liu again: "Among the people you brought back, whoever has a clear proof of absence when the crime happened, let them stand aside."

Ma Liu immediately ordered a few people, and those people immediately stood aside happily.

Hu Qian said again: "Those who have ties to the Huang Zhao family and who have a grudge against Ma Dong stay, and the rest stand aside."

Ma Dong immediately ordered a few more people.

At this time, there were only two people kneeling on the ground.

Hu Qiandao patted the gavel: "Who are the names of the two of you, tell them!"

One person said: "Master, the name of the grassroots is Ding Qiang."

"Go back to your lord, Cao Min Liu Er."

Hu Qian nodded, "You two, who killed the Huang Zhao family! You haven't really brought it!"

When the two heard it, they kowtowed again and again.

"My lord, the grass people are wronged!"

"My lord, the grass people didn't kill people at all!"

Hu Qian snorted, "Wronged?
I ask you, where were you last night?Who can testify! "

Ding Qiang choked, "This... Caomin slept at home last night, Caomin's wife can testify."

Hu Qian said: "Don't cry if you don't see the coffin! Come here! Bring his wife here!"

Ma Liu immediately ran out with his men, but when it was too late, he brought Ding Qiang's wife to the lobby.

"My lady, you are Ding Qiang's wife!"

"My lord, Minnv is Ding Qiang's wife, Mrs. Zhang."

"Okay! Wang Shisan, take her to the second hall and ask her where Ding Qiang was yesterday, what he was doing, who he met, what he had for dinner, and when did he rest."

When Ding Qiang heard this, he immediately looked at his wife with embarrassment.

But she was stared at by Wang Shisan, so she couldn't understand what Ding Qiang meant.

After a while, Wang Shisan and Ding Qiang's wife came out again.

Hu Qian said, "Excuse me?"

Wang Shisan nodded, "Go back to your lord, and say hello to everyone."

Hu Qian shouted: "Ding Qiang, now tell me where you were yesterday, what you did, who you met, what you ate at night, and when you rested!
If what you said to your wife is not right...

snort!I can't spare you! "

Ding Qiang's cold sweat broke out immediately, and he looked straight at his wife.

Although the latter was trying his best to wink at him, but at this moment, how could he understand it.

"Caomin was at home yesterday... didn't do anything... saw his wife and servants, and ate... fennel beans at night... went to bed on the second watch..."

Before he finished speaking, his wife fell limp to the ground.

When Ding Qiang saw it, he also slumped on the ground.

When Hu Qian saw it, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, tell me your answer now."

Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, but did not speak.

Hu Qian slapped the gavel, "Say it!"

The yamen servants on both sides immediately shouted: "Wei~wu~!"

Frightened, Mrs. Zhang said helplessly, "My husband was at home last night, repairing the yard, and met Wang Laoshi, a master carpenter. In the evening, the two of them drank daughter's red wine and ate donkey meat. They drank until the third watch before going to bed."

When Ding Qiang heard this, he immediately cursed: "You stupid pig! What the hell are you talking about! How can I be worthy of me!"

Hu Qian laughed loudly, and threw away the lottery, "Ding Qiang roared in the court, and hit twenty big boards!"

Wang Shisan and others couldn't help but push Ding Qiang to the ground, and beat him until his skin was torn to pieces, and he remained silent.

Hu Qian said again: "Ding Qiang! You still refuse to tell the truth!"

Seeing that he couldn't deny it, Ding Qiang looked at Liu Er, "My lord, the grassroots are recruited!

However, the Huang Zhao family was not killed by grass people, but by Liu Er. "

Liu Eryi was furious, "Bloody spout! It was obviously you who killed him! Why do you want to wrong a good man!"

Hu Qian was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he threw away the sign, "I didn't let you talk, so shut up! Twice the mouth!"

Immediately, a yamen servant went up, and a group of officials called up.

Liu Er's face was covered with blood, and he didn't dare to talk anymore.

"Ding Qiang, keep talking!"

"Yes, yesterday Ma Dong and Liu Er were gambling in the casino, Liu Er was in a bad mood, and lost all his ten taels of silver to Ma Dong, and was ridiculed by Ma Dong, so he became angry and held a grudge.

In the evening, Liu Er said that he was going to find Mrs. Huang Zhao to discourage him, and said that being alone was boring, so he asked Cao Min to go with him.

Later, Ma Dong also came, and when Liu Er asked Huang Zhao for money, he laughed at him as a jerk.

Liu Er became anxious, so he fought with him, and then in a fit of anger, he drew the knife from Ma Dong's body.

Unexpectedly, under the tearing, instead of cutting Ma Dong, Huang Zhao was stabbed to death.

Ma Dong said he was going to report to the official, Liu Er begged for mercy, and said that he could take all Huang Zhao's money away, and the three of them shared it equally.

As soon as the agreement was made, Liu Er suddenly stunned Ma Dong with a drug, cut off his finger first, and then poured the poison on him.

He said it was not true to leave Ma Dong at the scene, so he asked me to help carry Ma Dong out and throw him on the street. "
