reborn wife
Chapter 43
Wen Zhiru chatted with Jin Yihui in the prison for more than an hour that day, and finally the jailer couldn't bear it anymore, so he reminded him in a low voice, no matter how derelict his duties, he couldn't let an outsider stay in the prison for a long time. go!
Wen Zhiru left under Jin Yihui's reluctant gaze. After leaving the house, he did not forget to order someone to prepare another serving of food and wine, and bring in some good wound medicine and tonic. Although Wang Tai was a capital offence, he also helped They were busy, at least he didn't deserve to die in the hands of a villain like Jin Xiong.
The attendants sent out searched around Yangquan Town for most of the day, but with little success.
Although the mountains and forests near Yangquan Town were not as big as An Le said, the search became more difficult after the heavy snowfall. However, the governor Jin Yihui was too low-key when he went out. He only brought a dozen guards with him. Many people were sent out, and after a few hours, they only checked the forest to the west.
Wu Caijun only gave them three days. After three days, even if Wu Caijun didn't say anything, Jin Xiong's headhunter would definitely find all kinds of excuses to hinder them, especially if they haven't found out whether Jin Xiong is behind it. Instigated by other people.
At this time, Leng Yun's investigation on the identity of the dead had an unexpected harvest.
Jin Xiong's identity was already known, and the three-day deadline had not yet expired, and he didn't look like he was going to take any action, so Wen Zhiru asked Leng Yun to take the time to investigate the dead man.
Leng Yun: "Master, according to the information given by the shopkeeper of the inn yesterday, my subordinates continued to inquire, and found out about the merchant. They just met a nursing home of the merchant. He was injured and left, his wife is from Yangquan Town, and happened to accompany his wife here to visit relatives these few days. Master, do you know how the nursing home was injured?"
"Has he ever been robbed by bandits led by Jin Xiong?" After much deliberation, this is the most appropriate reason.Otherwise, Leng Yun is idle and let himself guess this!
"Exactly! What that person said was more than four years ago. He couldn't remember where the goods were sent at that time. He just remembered that the goods were worth a lot of money, and their master also went on the road in person. , and invited escorts from the Escort Bureau to escort them together, but the thieves still missed them. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Jin Xiong caught them by surprise in the middle of the night, and many of them died without even seeing the figure clearly. Brother, later on he also had an escort with the best kung fu who fought his life to rescue their master."
"So a few years later, the merchant passed by Yangquan Town again, and saw that Jin Butou was almost exactly the same as the bandit who robbed him back then, so he was so frightened that he left Yangquan Town overnight. But this matter has nothing to do with the dead man. Relationship?" Wen Zhiru paused, then suddenly said, "Could it be, that bodyguard..."
"The young master is quick-witted, and my subordinate admires it." Leng Yun nodded, "This subordinate showed the dead portrait to the nurse, and he recognized it as the bodyguard who escaped together that day. The bodyguard's original surname was Zhao, The bodyguard failed and was injured again, so he stopped working as a bodyguard after that. I heard that he went to the capital to make a living, but he didn’t seem to be doing well. I don’t know if he was greedy when he met Jin Xiong the day before yesterday. until the murderer dies."
"Hmm." With that said, all the clues and questions seemed to make sense.
Although Zhao Escort is good at martial arts, he is also a life-saving man. After narrowly escaped death, he stopped working for a living and went to the capital. Unfortunately, he didn't do well, so he had to go back to his hometown. The enemy who took his life.
If Escort Zhao still had blood and wanted revenge or had justice in his heart, he should have gone to the government to identify Jin Xiong early in the morning, but he pretended not to know him and had a private appointment with him in the middle of the night, which shows that he had an ulterior motive.
Although it is a pity to die unexpectedly in the end, it is not wronged.
"The nursing home..." Wen Zhiru asked after thinking for a while, "If he needs to go to court to testify in the future, would he be willing?"
"My subordinates have asked about it, and the nursing home is also enthusiastic. He said that if the young master needs to identify Jin Xiong, he will never back down. Even if his wife doesn't know about his past, and she is pregnant now, she is afraid of being shocked. so, so—”
"You reassure him. When the time comes, you will say that you met an old friend to catch up with old friends. I will let them keep it a secret from the government."
"Yes, the subordinate will send someone to pass the message. Also, the subordinate has found the watchman in the town today, and also asked for some news."
"Tell me."
"The old man working in Yangquan Town is over 60 this year. He was unwell the day before yesterday and did not come out to work. It was his grandson who replaced him. The young man said that after that night, there were no people on the street, and he suddenly felt the back of his head. A gust of wind blew by, he had never played an update before, he thought he had really met a ghost, he was startled, the lantern almost fell, but he saw a figure, tall and tall, although he couldn't see clearly face, but the clothes he described are exactly the same as dead."
"Is he sure it's past time?"
"Of course, he said that at that time, he had been in the third watch for a while."
"Did he see which direction the figure ran?"
"It's the east end of the town."
Wen Zhiru nodded: "Find someone to send a message to An Le, asking him to lead someone to check the forest east of the town first."
*************************************
Although there was a clear direction, it still took Anle a lot of time to search.
It was not until the morning of the second day that someone was sent to send a letter saying that they had found the location of the incident.
Wen Zhiru didn't know how to ride a horse, so Leng Feng specially drove a carriage to take him there.
In fact, after several snowfalls in the forest where the incident happened, there were no clues to investigate, except for some traces of being cut by knives criss-crossing on a few trees, and the guards dug out the dead body under the snow. The burden and the used nine-ringed sword, the rest seems to be nothing valuable to discover.
Wen Zhiru looked at the knife in An Le's hand, under the reflection of the sun, the dried and blackened blood on the blade was particularly glaring, "It seems that the fighting here seems to be very fierce, Jin Xiong should have been hacked by him Injured, but the bodyguard didn't have a knife wound, did he?"
"Yes, my subordinate and Zhou Yuzuo have checked carefully that day. Except for some small scratches on the body of the deceased, there is no trace of being injured by a sword."
Wen Zhiru frowned: "I always feel that something is wrong."
Originally thought that the bodyguard was greedy and asked to meet Jin Xiong in the middle of the night, but the other party had a murderous plan and preempted the attack, relying on his own high martial arts skills, directly took the life of the bodyguard.
But now it seems that the fighting here has lasted for more than a moment.
The bodyguard used the Nine-Ring Knife that An Le had now, from the nicks on the surrounding tree trunks and the blood on the blade, it could be seen that Jin Xiong was always wearing an official knives commonly used by policemen.
Why did he strangle his opponent with a rope in the end, is it just for the convenience of moving the corpse?
Leng Feng also saw his doubts: "Master, do you want to ask, since the deceased can entangle with the opponent for so long without getting hurt, why was he strangled to death without any resistance?"
Wen Zhiru thought for a while, and then asked to find out: "I don't know martial arts and these swords and halberds, can you tell from the marks on the tree trunks whether it is Jin Xiong's sword or the one in front of you?" ?”
Leng Feng led the order to walk around the trees with knife marks, and then replied: "If my subordinates look right, all the knife marks on the tree are from this one in front of me."
"Only one knife? Are you sure you can't read it wrong?"
"The blade of the Jiuhuan Dao is heavy and thick, so the cut marks will be wider and thicker. What Jin Xiong wears is just an ordinary official sword, and it can't cut such marks. This point will not be mistaken by the subordinates. Unless Jin Xiong also has a nine-ring knife like this."
"When two people are fighting, how can there be only traces of a knife around? Unless..." Wen Zhiru suddenly realized, "Someone will go to the nursing home yesterday and bring him to me. I have something important to ask him." .”
"Yes, sir."
An Le saw that Leng Feng had received an order to assign people to contact the witnesses, and it seemed that the time had come for the case to come to light. "Master, since the location of the incident has been found, then..."
"You put away all these evidences, I'll go to the prison and talk to Shizi about the situation." Wen Zhiru had already got into the carriage.
***********************************
Wen Zhiru brought clean clothes to Jin Yihun this time, and ordered someone to fetch water for him to freshen up. After two days in prison, the stubble on his chin had grown a lot, and he looked a bit sloppy.
If you can find solid evidence after asking witnesses later, you will have to go to court for trial. The son of the virtuous king of the great Jin Dynasty can't see people with this face.
Wang Tai got better after taking the wound medicine to stop the bleeding. Although he was still awake from time to time, fortunately he was not in danger of his life, so he didn't know if he could identify Jin Xiong again.
However, it doesn't matter whether Wang Taizuo is a witness or not. As long as the testimony of the nursing home is reliable, and the murder weapon as important as Lin from that day can be found, all problems will be solved.
After Jin Yihui changed into new clothes and finished washing, he became the handsome son of the past again. He smiled in the mirror with satisfaction, and looked at Wen Zhiru who had been sitting on the side watching him with a dull expression.
"Could it be that this son is so handsome that even Zhiru can see it?"
"Ah?" Wen Zhiru was still thinking about the case, thinking about how to expose Jin Xiong's evil deeds for a while, but he didn't realize that his eyes were actually on Jin Yihui all the time.
The servant who waited for the grooming was also stunned for a moment. When will the eldest son of their family behave in such a dissolute manner, but he still lowered his head wisely, pretending not to know.
Jin Yihui didn't care at all, he walked over and squatted down, and leaned close to Wen Zhiru's ear, "You said that I have the emperor's life and I shouldn't talk about these children's love in this prison, but I thought about it One night, and I am afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, if the case is closed today and I can go out from here, you will obey me, will you stay with me in the future?"

Wen Zhiru left under Jin Yihui's reluctant gaze. After leaving the house, he did not forget to order someone to prepare another serving of food and wine, and bring in some good wound medicine and tonic. Although Wang Tai was a capital offence, he also helped They were busy, at least he didn't deserve to die in the hands of a villain like Jin Xiong.
