Queen's Detective

"Father!" Cai Zhijing exclaimed, his eyes full of shock.

Others felt that he could not accept the sudden truth, but Yan Sanbai looked at him regretfully, shook his head slightly, and said, "Magistrate Cai, if you had had such courage more than ten years ago, today's tragedy would not have happened." It will happen again. But there are no ifs in this world, and what you didn’t finish back then, I’m afraid you can’t finish it now.”

Those penetrating eyes shined straight into the bottom of his heart, County Magistrate Cai knew that he couldn't hide it, this person probably had already guessed all the ins and outs.But he didn't want to compromise and give up, he clenched his fist and said, "I don't know what you are talking about, my lord."

Yan Sanbai looked around him, and then looked at Cai Zhijing, "What about you? Don't you know what I'm talking about?"

Cai Zhijing lowered her head, eyes struggling, "I...I..."

"Hey, it's quite lively." At this moment, there was a frivolous and brisk voice from outside the courtyard door. Everyone looked and saw Li Yan walking in, followed by his entourage alone, and people from Dali Temple. Ah Jiu brought back.

Li Yan looked at Yan Sanbai, "I brought you the person you want."

Yan Sanbai nodded, stepped forward, but bypassed Li Yan and stood in front of Ah Jiu.Ah Jiu immediately became the center of the crowd, with an ugly and gloomy face, which always made people think that he had ulterior motives.

Yan Sanbai took two boxes from Ling Ding and looked at them, picked up the one that was almost finished, and asked, "Ah Jiu, you made this box, right?"

Ah Jiu nodded and didn't speak.The rest of the people became curious, what is Yan Sanbai doing?Could it be that the black box had something to do with Ah Jiu?

Then I heard Yan Sanbai say: "Then I would like to ask you, is the accomplice who killed Liu Fu, Wang Li, and Zhang Qing with you, the county magistrate Cai, or someone else?"

Although they were prepared, most people were still a little surprised, because Yan Sanbai's tone was so sure, they really couldn't think of any connection between this terrifying-looking man and the recent events.

Ah Jiu wasn't too surprised, her gloomy eyes became even more hostile, a person who was originally low-key and wanted to hide himself all the time, suddenly became fierce at this moment, "Why do you think it's me? "

Yan Sanbai's answer was very simple. He picked up the black box and showed him the front, "I erased a small detail on the pattern, but on the box you made, this detail came back to life. Except You are too familiar with this box, and you followed your heart when making it, so I can't think of any other explanation."

Ah Jiu was silent, the detail that Yan Sanbai erased was too small to be discovered without being too careful, it was his negligence.If Ah Jiu was just a simple carpenter and had never touched the box at all, it would be impossible to reproduce this detail out of thin air.

However, Ah Jiu's mood didn't fluctuate greatly. He was like a pool of stagnant water. No matter how strong the wind was, he couldn't make waves. He just raised his head calmly and asked, "You already know the cause and effect, right?"

"I went to Fusheng's house just now, and he went up the mountain to collect medicine for his mother." Yan Sanbai replied.

This unresponsive answer made people puzzled, but Ah Jiu's eyes showed a softness, and he murmured: "He is very filial... a good boy..."

As he spoke, his eyes hardened again. He glanced back at County Magistrate Cai and Cai Zhijing, seeing the expressions of nervousness or pleading on their faces, paused, and said, "That's right, I killed people. Magistrate Cai just offered me some help."

Zhang Yuan and the others on the side were both surprised and angry, "You bastard! We kindly took you in Daqing Township, why did you want to kill us?!"

Ah Jiu looked over, and the cold gaze made the three of them look like ducks with their throats choked, "Have you forgotten Qiao Da who was killed by you?"

"Joe, Qiao Da?!" Zhang Yuan's eyes almost popped out, "You are Qiao Da?!"

Wang Dekun and Liu Daquan also took a step back in fright, looking at Ah Jiu as if looking at a ghost, "You, you are Qiao Da?! Isn't it already dead!"

However, Ah Jiu seemed very satisfied with their expressions, opened his mouth and smiled, and said, "So I came back from hell to find you."

That smile bloomed on the horrific face, so sinister and frightening.

Everyone couldn't help but look sideways, and they were speechless. This is another case within a case.

Yan Sanbai is also half-knowledgeable, at most he can piece together some rough ideas based on the existing clues and determine the murderer, but he still has only half-knowledge about the truth of the year.

"Qiao Da? Could it be that Qiao Da?!" Ling Ding suddenly thought of something, and looked at Wang Dekun and the others, "Did you say that he went out to make a living, did you actually kill someone?"

"What's going on?" Li Yan asked.

Ling Ding talked about what Yan Sanbai told him to do before, in fact, he was asking the villagers about the movement of people in Daqing Township more than ten years ago, whether anyone came or left.After inquiring, there are really a few, one family moved away to join relatives, some girls married, and there is this Qiao Da who is said to have found a way to make money and left home alone.

Qiao Da is a bachelor, and his parents died early, so his departure seems reasonable, and not many people take it seriously, but now that he thinks about it, there are indeed many strange things.Because the time of his departure was so coincidental, it happened to be when the fire broke out, so many people remember it very clearly.

After listening to Ling Ding's explanation, Ah Jiu admitted frankly, "Yes, I am Qiao Da, but I didn't go out to make a living. I just accidentally bumped into those four people committing murder, and was pushed down the mountain road halfway, disfigured, and kept hiding in the In the county town. I didn’t return to Daqing Township until it was confirmed that no one could recognize me, and I have been waiting until now.”

Seeing the reactions of Wang Dekun and the others, Yan Sanbai knew that what Ah Jiu said was true, at least the part he said was correct.

but.

"I'll ask you one last time, who is the real culprit?"

Yan Sanbai looked serious, even a little cautious, and the rest became suspicious, the real culprit?Are County Magistrate Cai and Ah Jiu the real culprits?

There was silence in the room, and no one answered.

Yan Sanbai finally sighed in his heart, and Li Yan on the side raised his eyebrows and said: "What are you doing with so much talk with them, even if you put your heart and soul into it, they may not necessarily accept your affection."

Yan Sanbai rubbed his nose helplessly, and said: "My lord is right. Some of the answers are so obvious that I don't need to ask any more. Mr. Guan, please arrest Cai County magistrate, father and son, Ah Jiu, and Wang Dekun. Get up. The crime is the same, murder."

Of course, Guan Qing's speech was unambiguous, and Cai Zhijing's hands were cut backwards at once, and he was firmly restrained.County magistrate Cai immediately panicked, and hurriedly said: "My lord! This is none of Zhijing's business, it's none of his business!"

"Magistrate Cai, do you still want to hide the matter now? I think you are eager to protect your son, and I have given you a chance. If you continue to pester me like this, what is the court's law?" Yan Sanbai said seriously.

"But……"

"But what? But Cai Zhijing made a big mistake because of being deceived by others? Is it because of being deceived that he killed one after another? The so-called grievances have their own debts. Although Liu Fu and the three have slightly flawed character, they are not guilty. To death, even if you have a grudge, if you don’t seek out the right lord, but kill people who don’t even know about it, as a county magistrate, do you think this is right? You can protect him once, and you can protect him forever?”

Hearing this, County Magistrate Cai closed his eyes in pain, and the rest of the people finally recognized the sign—it was Cai Zhijing!The murderer was Cai Zhijing!

But he is the son of the county magistrate, and he left Daqing Township since he was a child. Why would he do such a thing?

Just when everyone was wondering, Cai Zhijing suddenly raised his head, "What do you think I was deceived by others?"

Yan Sanbai glanced at Ah Jiu, then looked at him again, "Did Ah Jiu tell you that you are the son born to that woman back then? So, your series of murders is actually to avenge your mother?"

As soon as this statement came out, it really shocked everyone.Cai Zhijing is the son of that woman? !God, how is this possible!

That Magistrate Cai... Could it be that County Magistrate Cai had an affair with that woman?No wonder, no wonder Cai Zhijing has no mother since she was a child!

Cai Zhijing was eager and sneered without being questioned by others: "Could it be that what he said is wrong? If I am not that man's son, why would my father secretly enshrine her tablet at home? Why have I never met my mother?"

"Why?" Yan Sanbai said slowly: "The reason, didn't your father already say it just now? It's because of guilt, guilt for your own cowardice, and guilt for your own conscience. You think you have successfully avenged yourself, but you have Didn't you ever think that your father allowed the murderer to go unpunished? Don't those who hate the murderer also hate you? Have you ever thought that you yourself are the one being revenged!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Cai Zhijing couldn't accept such rhetoric at all, and shouted sharply.

Yan Sanbai was not affected at all, and his eyes were firm, "You are so stupid, if you confirm with your father, you will not become a knife for revenge in others' hands. Liu Fu, Wang Li, Zhang Qing, plus one Li Mao, you ruined four people, and you will eventually destroy yourself. This is the murderer's plan. Let the enemy's sons kill each other, while I admire their painful expressions, right, Ah Jiu? No, I should call you Joe Da."

Qiao Da suddenly laughed, with a ferocious face, and he seemed to be angry in his heart, "So what? They all deserve it! Wang Dekun, Zhang Yuanhe, and Cun deserve it, and Cai Zhihe is no better! Why does a person like him He can also become a county magistrate, and everyone praises him for his dedication to serving the people and his benevolence, but why did he keep silent back then?! Could it be that Miss Jin deserves to die if she is not a human being! You are all a bunch of hypocrites, and your hypocrisy is disgusting! "

Qiao Dachang let out a sigh of relief, "Daqing Township was like this back then. I was born with a hunchback, I didn't look very good, and I was alone. Everyone seemed to be kind to me, but people in the open and in the dark actually rejected me. Everyone is like a puppet held in the palm of the hand by the village chief and the elders. They say what they say, only Miss Jin understands me, only she is willing to talk to me, but they ruined her! I swore then, One day they will all pay the price!"

Ah Jiu's angry voice was like the roar of a wounded beast, which made people's hearts tense.That's how deep-seated hatred and unwillingness towards me must be to make such a voice.

Many people fell silent, and the venue suddenly fell into a strange silence.

However, Yan Sanbai raised those star-like eyes, looked at him with eyes that had never been shaken from beginning to end, and asked softly: "Then why didn't you just save that girl Jin?" come out?"
