Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

The murder case of Chen Ping and his wife can be reopened, and then we can handle the case legitimately.

When Deng Shaoxing learned that the case would be retried, he saw hope and began to reverse the case.

However, it is not easy to overturn the verdict and must undergo severe punishment. In the lobby, Deng Shaoxing was beaten to pieces, but he kept shouting that he was wronged.

Magistrate Wang asked: "Since we have already signed and pledged, why do we have to tear it down and start over again? Why do we have to suffer this?"

Deng Shaoxing was dying, but his eyes were firm and he said:

"Sir, I was wrongly accused. I originally thought that this case would definitely go to waste, so I wanted to die, so that my wife and children might be able to survive. But your lord is wise and wants to reopen this case, and I see hope again. , that’s why we have to overturn the verdict.”

County Magistrate Wang: "Then you must be honest. If you change your mind again, be careful about the head on your neck."

Deng Shaoxing lay on the ground, got up with difficulty, and knelt in the center of the lobby. He said:

"Young one won't lie anymore."

Deng Shaoxing slowly raised his head and told us his story:

"Chen Ping and I have known each other since we were children. We are both from Wugong County. When I grew up, I came to Chang'an to do business in a pawn shop. Chen Ping also got a job as an inn stove in Chang'an, and my friend Tan Qi, the three of us came to Chang'an together, intending to start a business.

His wife and children were not out in Wugong County. He was very busy with work and had no one to take care of him, so sometimes he would come to his house for dinner and give him dental beatings. As we went back and forth, our relationship became more familiar.

I am suspicious by nature. Later, when he came more frequently, I felt that he had a problem with my wife. I always felt that he was seducing my wife intentionally or unintentionally, so I got angry and quarreled with him. Once we were drunk, He actually got into a fight over this matter. Later, we stopped communicating.

From then on, we always got along well, but one day suddenly, I received a letter from Chen Ping. The letter asked me to go to Wugong County to find him the day after tomorrow. We had something important to discuss. If I didn’t go, there would be consequences. Disaster is coming.

I didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd, so I went to Wugong County at the time specified in his letter. But when I went, they were already on fire, so I returned to Chang'an overnight.

The next day, I heard that Chen Ping and his wife were burned to death. I really didn’t kill Chen Ping. The fire was already burning when I went there, and there was no way I could save him, so I had no choice but to escape.

I thought I was going back without anyone noticing, but one day eight years later, what I was afraid of finally happened.

A month ago, I went to Shanxi to do some business and came back and found that my wife and daughter were missing.

I asked the waiter in the store, and he said that he had received a letter from me, asking my mother-in-law to go back to the countryside to live for a while. I asked the waiter why he didn't follow my wife. The waiter said that they were leaving in a hurry and he wouldn't let me follow them. He just said that they were quite close to the countryside and he just wanted to let the waiter watch the store.

So I hurried back to my hometown in the countryside and found that they had not returned to the countryside. Now I was completely confused. They had been kidnapped on the way.

I searched around like a headless fly for their whereabouts, but there was still no information.

On this day, Tan Qi suddenly came to my house. He told me about Chen Ping and his wife being burned to death eight years ago. I was wondering how he knew about it.

He took out a letter and handed it to me. The letter said, "Eight years ago, I saw you go to Chen Ping and his wife's house. I saw you kill them and set fire to the house and destroy the bodies. If you have a conscience, If so, turn yourself in as soon as possible. If you don't, your wife and children will pay the price for what you did. ’

After I read the letter, I felt very strange. Why was this letter not sent to me directly, but through Tan Qi's hand? I asked Tan Qi how this blackmail letter got into his hands.

Tan Qi said he didn't know, and the letter was on the table when he got up in the morning. "

When we heard this, we already knew that this Tan Qi was not the real Tan Qi, but was disguised by the ever-changing fox Wei Chunguang, but Deng Shaoxing didn't know it.

Deng Shaoxing continued: "I did not kill anyone, but if I did not surrender, my wife and children would be killed by them. I could only exchange their lives if I died, so I surrendered."

I asked, "Have your wife and children visited you since you surrendered?"

Deng Shaoxing shook his head and said, "I have never seen my wife and children since I came back from Shanxi. I don't know whether they are dead or alive."

I asked: "Where is the letter that blackmailed you now?"

Deng Shaoxing said: "I hid it under the water tank in the kitchen at home."

Deng Shaoxing kowtowed and said, "Please, sirs, please help me find my wife and children. I have said everything, but now I just want to know if my wife and children are still alive."

I said: "Of course, we will definitely help you find them."

The ever-changing fox Wei Chunguang pretended to be Tan Qi to persuade Deng Shaoxing to surrender, and he was working for his brother Wei Erye, so what we have to do now is to find this Wei Erye, and then we can find out the whereabouts of Deng Shaoxing's wife and children. .

But how can we find this Mr. Wei? They all say that he has disappeared. There is no trace of him alive or dead.

We actually found the letter under the water tank in Deng Shaoxing's home.

It seems that Deng Shaoxing did not lie this time, this is indeed a blackmail letter.

The fat man read the letter for a long time and then said to me: "The person who wrote this letter is left-handed and is accustomed to using his left hand. Wei Chunguang is accustomed to using his right hand, so it was not written by him. So the person who wrote this letter should be It’s Mr. Wei.”

I said: "Where can we find this Mr. Wei in this huge crowd? Even his brother doesn't know where he has gone!"

The fat man said: "Maybe I know."

I was stunned and said, "You know again?"

The fat man said: "This letter paper has a faint fragrance. This fragrance is very special, with the smell of sandalwood, just like the smell in the temple."

I said: "So, Wei and Wei should be in a certain temple?"

The fat man said: "Smart!"
