lustful

As the New Year approached, the cells in Dali Temple became quite deserted.Granny Li has been in prison for more than ten days. The court ordered that it is impossible for a person of her age to torture and extract a confession. She didn't say it herself, and Dali Temple didn't have time to deal with the murder of prostitutes, so she was locked up here. .

In the dark cell, the door was opened, and a person came in.

He is a very handsome young man.

The old lady looked at the person who came in, and felt familiar. When he entered the cell where she was imprisoned, she remembered that this was the high official who interrogated her that day.

"Grandma Li, you have been here for more than ten days, and your family misses you very much." Huo Yunshan said softly.

Granny Li was unmoved.

Huo Yunshan added: "Your son is guarding the gate of Dali Temple every day, hoping that you will be released."

Granny Li said: "My old lady didn't commit a crime in the first place, but the officials insisted on detaining me."

Huo Yunshan sighed: "Tell us everything you know. I know, you didn't kill people."

He said softly: "You are an old man, why should you have trouble with a little girl?"

Granny Li smiled wryly: "Of course the old lady won't make things difficult for her."

Huo Yunshan looked at her: "Then...who are you covering?"

Granny Li said: "I didn't cover anyone up. My son has an alibi, and that woman has nothing to do with my family. Why should I?"

Huo Yunshan smiled bitterly: "If it wasn't because your son was at his father-in-law's house that day, I would really think he was the murderer."

Granny Li closed her eyes to rest.

refused to answer his words.

Huo Yunshan had no choice but to say: "I am the great general of the current court. This Ruyi lady is old with me. I must find out the truth about her death. No matter what, I will not let her be lonely on the road to Huangquan."

Granny Li looked at Huo Yunshan and gradually panicked.

Huo Yunshan said: "You know that the imperial court will not embarrass the elderly, but it is not so easy for your son and grandson. If you can't find the truth for a day, the person you want to protect may be your son."

Granny Li looked at Huo Yunshan in horror.

"Now, are you willing to say it?" Huo Yunshan said.

This group of trash in Dali Temple can't be scary.

Granny Li said tremblingly, "It has nothing to do with my son!"

Huo Yunshan said: "You know who you are locked with!"

Granny Li was silent for a while, and then said: "That night, I did hear the voice, but..."

She said sadly: "It's just that I don't know what happened. I just know that someone came to her house, and then she..."

She bowed her head in pain: "Maybe it's her former acquaintance who came into her house secretly at night. I passed by her door and vaguely saw it."

"Why didn't you tell?" Huo Yunshan asked.

Granny Li coughed a few times: "I think that person's attire should be that of a rich man. Those people who travel far and wide are ruthless. I'm afraid they will hurt my family."

Huo Yunshan was surprised: "How do you know it's a traveling businessman?"

Granny Li said contemptuously: "That little hoof usually spends time with widowers, how could she buy such a large table of food and drink. It must be a traveling merchant who has so much money. If she gives a lot of money, she will serve well."

Huo Yunshan sighed.

After walking out the door, he really didn't want to hear people say that about Mrs. Ruyi.

He once almost got together with Qiuniang.

There are many people in this world who have to do what they have to do. They cannot be said to be innocent, but they are worthy of sympathy.

Especially the dead are the greatest, he didn't want this to be said on a dead person.

But things in this world are indeed like this.

A poor woman, who has been a prostitute, will be pointed out after her death.If a noble lady steals someone, she will not dare to say anything for fear of anything.

On boring days, there are always more mean gossips to add luster.

Immediately after he went out, he ordered the people of Dali Temple to secretly check the inn in the capital to see if there were any businessmen who had contacts with Ruyi.

In the afternoon, I really found someone.

"Someone saw that you went to Pingkang Square that day?" Huo Yunshan asked.

The businessman's name was Lu Chang, and he replied honestly: "Yes, the villain was just looking for fun."

Huo Yunshan said: "Looking for Mrs. Ruyi?"

Lu Chang quickly shook his head: "No, no, I really didn't see her that day!"

Huo Yunshan frowned: "Aren't you going to find her?"

Lu Chang said: "Although I am an old friend with her, I always looked for her when I came to the capital the year before last and last year, but I... found someone else this year."

He glanced at Huo Yunshan, and said hesitantly: "Although she is understanding, she is already 29 years old this year. She is old and pale, so it's not interesting, so I found someone else."

Huo Yunshan: "Do you have any witnesses?"

Lu Changdao: "Miss Baoyue from Deyuelou can testify."

Huo Yunshan: "..."

What the hell is this!

"Do you know someone, and you have a good relationship with Ruyi!" He had to ask again.

Chief Lu bowed his head and thought for a while. It is easy for these traveling merchants to go anywhere. If they stay for a long time, they must have a few good friends.Several of his friends are indeed a little bit like Ruyi.

It's just that they don't seem to be able to kill people!

Huo Yunshan saw that he was silent.

He simply said: "Come here, pull those who are with him over to interrogate one by one!"

There were more than a dozen people in total, and Huo Yunshan interrogated them all afternoon, but found nothing!

The killer is no longer committing crimes and no motive is known.

Completely clueless.

This case trial is actually more tiring than fighting a war.

Huo Yunshan got tired and lay down at night, lived in Dali Temple and did not go back.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Luan came to find him.

"Why did you come here?" Huo Yunshan was surprised.

Xiao Luan said lightly: "I went to ask Xiaobai, and he brought me out with him on Eleventh."

Huo Yunshan rubbed his arms: "Are you here to see me try the case? I really have no choice. I don't even know why she died!"

Xiao Luan said: "Maybe, I can help you a little bit."

"You?" Huo Yunshan looked at him in surprise, "You know how to investigate cases?"

Xiao Luan said seriously: "I suddenly remembered something."

"What's the matter?" Huo Yunshan looked at Xiao Luan, and then gave him a thick cloak, "The fire in Dali Temple is not warm enough, this is my cloak, you wear it, don't catch cold."

Xiao Luan thanked him.

"I suddenly remembered that Miss Ruyi's death was so bizarre that it seemed that the murderer's motive could not be found. But if you look at it from another angle, who will be hindered by his being alive?"

Huo Yunshan was stunned: "Who does living hinder? She hinders a lot of people. There are many wives of men who care about her business, and the scholar who taught her to paint."

Xiao Luan said: "What if...we find that scholar?"

Huo Yunshan said: "I just can't find it! There are very few people in Pingkangfang who live there, and no one knows the scholars who lived there back then, except that Grandma Li lived there five years ago and has a reflection on him, but Li The mother-in-law said that he didn't know the scholar's name at all, he only knew the surname Cui, and most of the scholars in the world have the surname Cui!"

Xiao Luan said indifferently: "However, there are not many scholars with the surname Cui who can paint. The people in Pingkangfang don't know it, but the painters and calligraphers should know it!"
