The clerk entered the government office again, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, scratching his head and saying, "Master Qian? I don't even know Mrs. Qian... He often comes to the store, but everyone on this street comes! The little one is an illiterate waiter." , I have no personal relationship with him. You ask who is familiar with him? Probably not. Because although he is a kind person, he is always a little distant. It is not unusual, as scholars are used to it. "

"Treating children? That's great. Every now and then, I will buy some food for the children to play with. The children on the street like him, and it is common to go in and out of his house. About a year ago, the carriage passing the street overturned. It was the doctor who crushed little girl Chen's foot, and he turned her back to see her. With this incident, old man Chen treated him with gratitude, saying that Mrs. Qian is good to everyone."

"Why didn't Mrs. Qian get married? How does this young man know? But everyone knows that he likes children, especially Cao Yu. He seems to care more about the Chen family than himself. You ask how the Chen family treats Cao Yu? This young man is terrible." I really don't know, it's just that the little girl is weak and seems to be sick all the year round, her complexion is not very good, and she is thin and small. Chen Ren? Chen Ren is so young that I don't know, but his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, treats Cao Yu well, and often goes out to talk about it , everyone in this area knows that she is kind to Cao Yu, and even makes clothes for her when it’s cold.”

"Borrowing money? The little one never borrows money. Master Qian doesn't have much money, he and the little one can't get along, and even if the little one borrows money, he won't ask him for it." The clerk moved his body and said, " Ah Hong? Don't look at this kid's young age, but he is good at playing tricks."

Finally, when Gu Shen signaled that he could leave, the clerk stepped over the threshold, turned back bowed, and said: "Ah Hong often follows Mrs. Qian. He is naive and naive. Maybe he can see it better than others." Clearly. Listen to what Ah Hong said..."

Gu Shen's eyes were sharp.

The clerk hesitated and said: "...Master Qian treats Cao Yu differently. He is more familiar with him than usual." He smiled uncomfortably, "I used to hear that Xitu people are very nice."

"Master Qian? Master Qian has nothing to do with us Hong'er." The old widow Zhu Zhang nodded anxiously, "It's nothing to do, Hurry up! A childish blunt, what he says casually, can't be trusted! What words? Can you tell me?" Speak up. I can't hear you clearly. Hey, this kind of foul language must have been taught by others! We Hong'er have always been reasonable, and we never talk like that to others."

"Hong'er doesn't go out often, and never goes to Master Qian's house."

"Hong'er is playing with Miss Chen, because the yard is next to each other, and I have no grudges with the Chen family, why can't I ask the children to play together?"

"I don't know who Master Qian is, and I haven't received any favors."

The old widow hid Ah Hong behind her back, and became more aggressive towards Gu Shen, almost throwing the crutch on Gu Shen.She stretched her neck, glared angrily, and said, "Who wants to be beaten! You slander our orphans and widows like this! How many times have I told you that Mrs. Qian has nothing to do with us! What are you asking Hong'er for? Hong'er doesn't know! Hurry up! , How many days has this murder case been put on hold, and the time limit is approaching, are you just picking on us old and weak women and children? It's unreasonable! I won't leave today, I'll just stay here, lying in the government office On the steps, let Master Qingtian come out and see how you guys handle the case!"

The old widow spit and sprayed Gu Shen all over the face.The more she scolded, the more energetic she became. Even the eighth generation of Gu Shen's ancestors turned up and tossed about, and they would never stop unless they were so noisy.Gu Shen just felt dizzy and couldn't help waving his hands to ask someone to take the old widow out.

He squatted down and faced Ah Hong, and said, "I'll talk to you a few words, don't be nervous, I'll ask you and you will answer."

Ah Hong looked around, looking for his grandmother. Gu Shen said: "After the answer, I will not only let you go, but also give you candy. You must know where this is. I will only tell you that there is a god hanging over here." You can't tell lies."

Jing Lin, who was sitting on the beam, had his eyelids twitch, and Cang Ji rolled out of his sleeves, and climbed onto his shoulders with the little stone man.

Gu Shen asked: "Master often brings Chen Caoyu to play?"

Ah Hong clutched the corner of his clothes, looked left and right, and nodded.

"Does he often take Cao Yu home?"

This time Ah Hong nodded heavily, and said, "Take her home, give her new clothes, and give her food."

"Only for Cao Yu?"

Ah Hong inhaled, with an angry expression on his face, he grabbed the corner of his clothes and shouted: "Only for her! Read poems to her." Ah Hong wrinkled the corner of his clothes, "Master let her sit on his lap."

"Sit on your lap." The subordinate said warmly, "He treats Cao Yu...in an intimate manner?"

"He kissed her face." Ah Hong said more and more excitedly, "Take off her clothes. I saw him touching her..."

Everyone around breathed in together, but Gu Shen stared closely at Ah Hong's eyes.

The expressions of the crowd encouraged Ah Hong, he gradually let go of the hand that was holding the corner of his clothes, and danced and said: "Master also hid her clothes, a lot of them!"

"Did the Chen family not notice?" the subordinate asked in amazement.

"Second Uncle Chen." Ah Hong didn't have time to swallow his saliva, choked for a moment, and said impatiently, "Uncle Chen hated Master and asked Master to get out, but Master didn't. Uncle Chen said Master was a bad person! They fought in the yard. Master was beaten, into the water tank."

The subordinate took a quick look at Gu Shen and asked, "When did it happen?"

Ah Hong said: "Last time, last time Master bought cakes for the little bitch."

"This brat talks upside down." Cang Ji lay next to Jinglin's ear, "Does it count?"

"If everything is right, then it counts." Jing Lin was slightly tickled by him, and his shoulders tilted indistinctly.

"That's too bad." Cang Ji said, "Everyone's words are hard to distinguish between true and false."

Ah Hong at the bottom was still recalling intermittently, and when he said "the blood flowed like a river", Gu Shen finally changed his expression.

"How did you see it?" Gu Shen said, "Aren't you going to sleep in the middle of the night?"

Ah Hong's nose bubbled up, he wiped it back, and started to look around again, when he heard his grandmother yelling and cursing outside, he said: "The little bitch was beaten, she yelled, and woke up my grandmother. My grandmother went out to look, called me, told me not to look." .”

"You saw Mrs. Qian?"

This time Ahong nodded bluntly, grabbed Gu Shen's sleeve flatteringly, and said, "Master Qian is dragging people..."

What a horror.In the middle of a snowy night, the usually gentle and close wife turned into a murderer, killing and dismembering all the people in the courtyard. The courtyard was stained with blood, and the corpses were dragged out of the house, and their heads were exposed in the dark night.The only survivor is so innocent, because he was coaxed by someone at a young age to be played by that beastly beast.The clues gleaned from just a few words let everyone think of the truth behind a murder case.Chen Ren, who is domineering on a daily basis, discovers Qian Weishi's crimes and beats and scolds him. As a result, Qian Weishi holds a grudge, which leads to future tragedies.

"This thing is not as good as pigs and dogs." The subordinates yelled at the case full of righteous indignation, "How dare he do this? He is simply a scholar! It's just for fun in ordinary brothels, how dare he attack the neighbors! Chen Caoyu Only seven years old...this beast!"

Cang Ji laughed, and he played with the taste: "It's strange, what kind of people are the underworld? Why do these people deserve to be 'played'? Don't they count as 'people'? How can people divide themselves like this? Clearly, can even the rules vary from person to person? If so, then what is the use of the rules.”

Jing Lin seemed to be remembering something, his eyes were calm: "Do you think monsters can escape such rules? All spirits in the world are bound by them."

"I don't believe it." Cang Ji said, "If someone treats me like this, I will definitely treat him like this."

Jing Lin paused for a while, raised his fingers to hold the back of Cang Ji's head, and said, "You want to eat me, so do I want to eat you too?"

"If you can eat it, it's up to you. Life and death shouldn't be up to the sky, nor should it be up to people." Cang Ji said, "It's up to me."

The conversation between the two of them was interrupted again, and the subordinates were already enthusiastic, wanting to arrest Qian Weishi and bring him to justice.Gu Shen was still thinking about it, he half believed what he said to Ah Hong.First, how can Qian Weishi He De win four people?Even if there are two elderly people among them, the resistance of life and death cannot be underestimated, unless none of the four people were aware of the incident at the time.Second, it is really hard to convince the public with just a few words of Ah Hong.

At that moment, I heard Ah Hong sticking to Gu Shen's ear on tiptoe, whispering: "Give me three copper beads, and I will tell you... I, I can see where Master hid the knife."

The knife is not an ordinary knife, it is the kind commonly used by the butcher shop in the town.Wide-mouthed and heavy-duty, let alone the flesh when you pick it up, even the bones can't move it.The blood-stained knife was hidden behind the firewood room next to the old widow's yard, and it was inserted forcefully into the gap, and the yamen didn't notice it when they searched.

When Gu Shen knocked on the door of Qian Weishi's room again, the master seemed to be prepared.He folded an old handkerchief that had been washed white into his pocket, and watched the policeman search his yard indifferently, and found pieces of girls' clothes in the small box.Not just clothes, but also shoes and gadgets.It can be seen that Chen Caoyu doesn't wear many clothes, most of them are brand new, but they have been left for too long, and some of them have been eaten by moths.He used these cheap and rough things to seduce an ignorant girl, because after learning the truth, his subordinates only thought that this person was wretched and dirty when they looked at his face.

"How can you do it?" The subordinate was young and energetic, and when he was arresting him, Qian Weishi fell to his knees and knocked on the ground.After menstruation, he kicked again, still unable to get rid of his hatred, he just cursed, "Worse than a beast!"

Qian Weishi took a heavy breath and pressed his face to the ground.He gritted his teeth and was dragged out.He was lynched before entering the yamen, and when he was pushed in front of Gu Shen, he was already beaten beyond recognition.

"Qian Weishi." Gu Shen approached him, "I want to ask you, did you kill the Chen family?"

Qian Weishi smiled a little on his bruised face, which made his gentleness finally disappear.His gums ached from hatred, and he said to Gu Shen: "Don't the Chen family deserve to die? Let me tell you, they all deserve to die!"

"I don't believe it." Gu Shen pulled him off the ground violently, "You moved your hand? With your appearance, you can't even move a finger of Chen Ren. You deceived me first, and then you want to deceive me to check Case? Who do you take me, Gu Shen, to believe me? Bah!"

Qian Weishi's feet were off the ground, his throat tightened, and he choked on the blood from the beating.

"I...prescribed the medicine." His throat clucked, "Unknowingly, Chen Ren is also a chicken and duck waiting to be slaughtered! Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me... what has nothing to do with me! The corpse is so broken that it can't even be mended Qi, I can't tell... I can't tell!"

"You have no grievances with him, why did you kill him?!"

"I..." Qian Weishi choked up for a moment, he bit his lower lip, and was heartbroken: "I fell in love with... little girl, hate, hate that Chen Er... he stopped me... humiliated me... I can't bear it, I can't bear it! I am such a beast!"

Just as Gu Shen was about to say more, his subordinates rushed in at the door.

"What's the matter!" Gu Shen snapped.

The subordinate also looked bewildered, and stammered: "Brother, that, that Donglin... has come to surrender."

Gu Shen was taken aback for a moment, and let go of his hand.

"He said that he killed four members of the Chen family on the eve of the fifth day, and that Chen Caoyu was in his hands."
