The host is messing with moths every day

Chapter 348
Zheng Wenxuan stepped into the yard, looked back at the black crowd, thought for a while, and suggested to the county magistrate, "My lord, the grassroots think that everyone can't be allowed in, otherwise the evidence at the scene may be destroyed."

When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately blocked the door and stopped the people who were pushing forward. He picked a few good-looking people from the crowd, and let those people come in with him, while the others could only stand outside the door and watch.

A total of five people were selected, including the three of He Lianhan. Their role can be regarded as representing the people to supervise the county magistrate to handle the case.

He Lianhan and Qian Xian's reaction was flat, but Fang Wei was more surprised. He didn't expect that he, a servant, would still be valued.

Several people walked through the yard with No. [-], and walked to the main house in front.

After entering the house, No. [-] walked to the side of the rice vat, pointed to the open space in front of the rice vat, and said angrily, "My lord, I just put the rice bag there, and the bag of rice disappeared when I came back!"

Everyone looked over with his fingers and found that the ground was not very clean, except for a few grains of rice, there were also some mud spots.

Zheng Wenxuan looked more carefully. He found that those mud spots seemed to be the outline of half a foot. Looking at the shoes of size one, they were clean and did not look like they were stained with mud. Coincidentally, the straw sandals of size two It was covered with dirt.

He was not in a hurry to decide the case, but thought about it carefully.

If the sack of rice existed and was really stolen by thieves, where did the thieves come from?
The magistrate of the county opened the rice tank and took a look. The inside had already bottomed out, and it was indeed time to replenish the rice, but this did not mean that No. [-] had put a bag of rice here!
He glanced at the rice grains on the ground and continued to interrogate number one.

"What kind of evidence are you? Just relying on the few grains of rice on the ground to prove that you have a bag of rice? Maybe it was spilled when you scooped up the rice. Even if you really put a bag of rice here, then tell me, you put Where did the rice bag go after it was put down?"

Judging from the current situation, No. [-] is even more unreasonable. After all, in everyone's eyes, he ran out of the house inexplicably, pointing at No. [-] passing by and saying that the rice belonged to him.

Seeing that the county magistrate didn't believe him on the first day, he said it again emotionally, "I remembered that the warehouse was not closed, and I was afraid of rats, so I went to close the warehouse door!"

The county magistrate asked, "Where is the warehouse?"

"It's right in front!" No. [-] led the way for everyone and ran to the front door of the main house. "I was standing in this courtyard, that is, at the door of that house, locking the warehouse!"

Everyone follow him to have a look, hey!This guy's house is not small, there is a yard behind the house, and another yard in front of the house!Not to mention that he also has a warehouse for storing grain, which is really rich!

It stands to reason that the money should not be exposed, and No. [-] was eager to prove that he really lost a bag of rice, so he opened the warehouse in front of everyone and found a place to put the bag of rice.

"Come and see, my lord, there is dust all around here, only here is no dust, that's where my bag of rice was placed!"

Approaching the warehouse, looking at the dozens of bags of grain inside, the two people who came in to supervise began to envy and jealousy.

Sure enough, the richer you get, the richer you are, you have so much food, and you still care about that bag of rice!
After hearing No. [-]'s words, Zheng Wenxuan didn't follow them, but turned around and walked to the back door of the main house.

The three of He Lianhan also didn't go to the warehouse, especially He Lianhan, he wanted to know how Zheng Wenxuan judged the case.

Zheng Wenxuan stood at the door of the house and looked around the backyard.

The earth wall is barely taller than a person, and there is a puddle of wet soil that has not dried yet in the corner. There is a well in the middle of the yard, on which there are buckets and basins. Small gravel road.

Zheng Wenxuan went to the yard behind the house, observed every place, and finally stopped in front of the wet mud.

There are two deep footprints on the wet soil. It seems that they accidentally stepped on it when they jumped off the wall, and the direction of the footprints is facing the door of the house. If you look carefully, you can find some outlines of footprints on the dry soil , all the way to the main house.

He suddenly thought of something, and walked quickly to the main room. As expected, there were mud spots on the ground from the door to the rice vat, but there were more mud spots on the rice vat, and less and less noticeable in other places.

If the guess is true, then the thieves used more strength when resisting the rice, resulting in more mud spots falling on the ground.

Zheng Wenxuan walked to the front yard and called number one and number two over.

"Take off your shoes and compare them with the footprints. Remember, don't press hard, otherwise the original footprints will be covered."

Finally seeing some signs, the magistrate hurriedly stopped No. [-] and No. [-], rolled up his sleeves, "You guys are frizzy, what if you lose all the evidence?! Take off your shoes, my lord. I will compare myself to you!"

No. [-] and No. [-] were flattered, and under the urging of the magistrate, they didn't dare to neglect, and took off their shoes in a hurry.

When the magistrate was comparing shoes and footprints, Zheng Wenxuan asked No. [-], "Why is it wet here?"

Standing on one foot, No. [-] was swaying. He struggled to maintain his balance, and replied honestly, "I'm doing laundry... I just splashed water here after I finished washing."

There are still clothes in the basin, and I don't know if they have really finished washing.

Zheng Wenxuan asked: "Do you usually wash clothes by yourself at home? If it is not convenient to answer, let me change the question. After washing clothes in your home, do you always pour water here?"

Being able to steal a bag of rice in a short period of time proves that the thieves are familiar with this place, but since they are familiar with it, why would they accidentally step on the wet soil?Unless the thieves didn't expect No. [-] to splash the laundry water here.

"No..." No. [-] suddenly faltered, "It's my family who does the laundry all the time, and she's not at home today, so I did it myself... Usually she would splash the water outside the door after washing... ..."

At this time, the county magistrate was done with the comparison, he stood up, returned the shoes to the two, and shook his head at Zheng Wenxuan who looked over, "Neither of them."

It seemed that the clues were broken again, Zheng Wenxuan asked No. [-], "Why isn't your wife at home?"

No. [-] put on the shoes, showing embarrassment, "She has returned to her mother's house..."

Seeing his expression, Zheng Wenxuan continued to ask, "Then why didn't you pour water outside the door like her, but in the corner instead?"

The distance from the mouth of the well to the back door is obviously shorter than the distance to the corner of the wall. Why did he choose the distance?Zheng Wenxuan felt that there was a lot to study here.

If it is a coincidence, then admit it, but if it is a breakthrough here, it must not be let go.

Number One's mouth opened and closed, looking reluctant to speak, as if something not very good was involved.

The county magistrate said, "Bold! How dare you not report what you know! Believe it or not, I will beat you up to [-] times! Don't hesitate to tell me honestly!"

No. [-] was frightened by his voice and knelt down. He looked at the group of people watching the excitement at the door, gritted his teeth, and whispered what happened.
