The Forensic Doctor's Daughter-in-law

Chapter 33

"Okay, let's go there now." Hearing this, Dou Zihan didn't have any objections. Originally, she was just a passer-by to the Han family. If the case at the inn can be solved as soon as possible, they and their party can go to Beijing as soon as possible. Nothing on the road.

Dou Zihan took the hand of Xiaodou Sprouts, and led Alian, Arong, Ping Mama and the others to the front hall. In fact, she still had a doubt in her mind, that is, what happened to the Han House last night?

I believe that seeing the prefect Han and his wife, they will always give her an official statement as a guest.If it wasn't something outrageous, the assassin in her room could make him wake up and walk.

Xiaodou Sprouts is still young, and he is facing strange places and strange people. It is not up to him to do anything. He just follows his elder sister closely, and does not ask questions curiously. He has always been quiet in the Han family. quiet.

When we arrived at the front hall, we could see from the black and blue eye circles and haggard faces of the Prefect Han and his wife that they were bothered by the fire incident and the assassin incident last night, but facing Dou Zihan, they still squeezed out a normal smile .

"Surprised my cousin last night!" As soon as Dou Zihan entered, Mrs. Han stepped forward to hold her hand and said with concern.

"Cousin, did you burn something valuable last night? By the way, I heard that an assassin was also involved, but did you catch the thief?" Dou Zihan asked with a worried expression.

"A few valuable things were lost. As for the assassins, one of them died, but they didn't catch their accomplices." Mrs. Han said vaguely.

"These thieves really don't know where they came from, but they dare to come to the magistrate's office to act wildly?" Dou Zihan tried again, while paying attention to the reaction of the magistrate Han.

"I made my cousin laugh. In the past few years, the rule of this mansion has always been peaceful, and the people are stable. I never thought that this thief would actually break into the mansion. It was because of my negligence during this period of time. Fortunately, the thief broke into the mansion. The deputy office, not the common people's house." The magistrate Han replied, he was extremely annoyed in his heart, he kept several important letters in the study, and there was a fire in the study last night, I hope that the fire will burn those things, not It fell into the hands of thieves, and if it fell into the hands of thieves, the consequences were something he didn't want to think about.

Of course, he just explained it like that, and he meant to excuse himself. He is a local magistrate, but such a thing happened in the mansion. saw.

"Oh, it was just an accident. We need to add a few more people in the mansion to guard against it in the future. By the way, Miss Ningbi said that my cousin's husband already has clues about the inn case. I don't know what can be found?" Dou Zihan from The husband and wife already knew from their words that they were obviously hiding something and didn't want her to know, so she didn't force her, but changed the topic to another matter.

"While hunting around, Wang Butou inadvertently found out from the servants of a family around the inn that the shopkeeper Lin of the inn seemed to have a wife, but very few people in the inn knew the wife of the shopkeeper. The buddies Xiaoluzi and Agen both categorically deny the existence of such a person, and I have already asked Mr. Liu to check shopkeeper Lin’s residence records, he does have a wife, there is no death certificate, and he should still be alive.”

"What the cousin-in-law means is that shopkeeper Lin not only hid his daughter when we checked the population of the inn yesterday, but also hid his wife. If it's not suspicious, why did he do that?"

"That's what it means."

"But even so, there is no direct evidence to prove that the murderer is related to shopkeeper Lin?"

As a modern legal worker, she is still used to speaking with evidence. Although some words and deeds of the shopkeeper Lin and his daughter are indeed suspicious, some people always have some privacy, so we can't just convict shopkeeper Lin, right? What's more, until now, the prefect of Han Dynasty has not found the murderer's motive for killing!

"You don't have to worry about this cousin, the government has its own way to make them tell the truth." When Zhifu Han said this, his expression clearly showed a kind of disapproval from a superior.

Seeing his expression and tone, Dou Zihan probably knew what method he would take. Since there was no other evidence to prove that shopkeeper Lin's family was the murderer, he could only use the most primitive and cruel method of torture in ancient times to extract a confession.

"What does the cousin-in-law mean, that the police will bring Shopkeeper Lin's family to the lobby for questioning?"

"Yes, my house has already sent Wang Butou to lead people. When my house is promoted later, if it is convenient for my cousin, you can listen behind the curtain."

If it were as usual, the Han family would definitely not plan to torture and extract a confession just because of a little suspiciousness. Who made such a thing happen in the Han family last night, he was holding his breath in his heart?I always have to find something to vent, so why not use the case of the Four Seasons Inn to vent?
What's more, in the case of the Four Seasons Inn, there are indeed no other clues to be found. Wang Butou has already questioned everyone else in the inn, but no other clues have been found. This case cannot be dragged on forever to prove his Incompetent, so, since he has some clues, he will not let them go, not to mention, shopkeeper Lin deceived officials first, and he is not aimless.

However, due to Dou Zihan's status, he still didn't want to gain the reputation of being tortured, so he deliberately added another sentence at the end.

"That's good." Dou Zihan was a little surprised when she first heard that the prefect of Han wanted her to sit in on the case. In the era she traveled through, although the etiquette was not particularly strict, it was still very unruly for a woman to sit in on an official's case.

However, judging from this point alone, this cousin-in-law is not a very pedantic official.And what about herself?Before finding the exact evidence, she was unwilling to make random judgments. If the shopkeeper's family was wronged, they were tortured instead, and the real murderer was allowed to go unpunished. This was absolutely what she didn't want to see.

Although Mrs. Han was already mentally prepared, she was still a little uncomfortable with Dou Zihan's obstinate answer. After a while, she found her voice and said, "Since my cousin is interested, I will tell you The servants should prepare the bead curtain as soon as possible."

"Excuse me, cousin." By the way, she could enjoy the atmosphere of the ancient yamen lobby.

In fact, Dou Zihan is not just worried about the magistrate Han's torture, but she now understands that in this era, she has no capital to rely on, and the relatives of the Dou family are absolutely unreliable, as long as they don't make trouble That's pretty good. As for the Cui family?When Lin Daiyu entered Jia's house, she brought a large sum of money with her, but what happened to her? She was penniless and brought a small oil bottle like bean sprouts. It's no wonder that her life in Cui's house was easier. Woolen cloth?Even if the masters of the Cui family maintain their face, what about those servants?She didn't have much money for rewards.
