I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

20 Once with this Weng Neighbor

The Ping'an Tavern was already surrounded by people from Dali Temple, and the candidates who were driven downstairs to study by Bai Yutang were "invited" back upstairs by the arresting officers.

Candidates were pushed to kneel on the ground.

Several of his boxes have been forcibly opened.Inside are the limbs and body carved out of wood, with several holes punched in them. As long as they are strung together with ropes, they can form a puppet that is very similar to Shopkeeper Peng.

When Bai Yutang saw the contents of the box, he understood that this kind of tactics doomed the peasants living in the west to be unable to commit crimes.After all, there is no big box for these dummies.

In addition to the doll, there is also a shovel for digging in the box.Xie Ling had someone inspect it, and the dirt on it was the same as that in the stable in the backyard. It seems that the examinee also buried the puppy.

Bai Yutang was still struggling with what Jiang Lin said about the time difference, so Jiang Lin explained to him: "It is impossible for the murderer to perform the hanging himself for others to see, so the scene that Judge Xie and I saw two or three blocks away was actually It looks like the murderer is throwing the rope over the beam."

"The murderer in the middle had to wait for the buddy to arrive, and hung the wooden model wearing clothes after a while. After that, the murderer only needed to pull the rope, and he could simulate the convulsion and trembling appearance of a person when he was suffocating and dying, and he could easily move the model to the side. candles are extinguished."

Even the timeline can be connected so tightly, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but stroking his palm twice like Jiang Lin did before.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "I wondered why shopkeeper Peng hanged himself with his hair on. So it's because it's hard to adjust your hairstyle with a dummy."

The evidence was conclusive, and the examinee's face was filled with numbness, obviously not intending to make any further struggles and explanations.

His modus operandi is quite good, but unfortunately, the timing is unlucky, and the responsible officer he meets happens to be Jiang Lin, so he is very familiar with the routine operations in these deduction works.

But candidates have no other choice.From the moment Zhan Zhao and the others first appeared in the Ping'an Tavern, he couldn't confirm whether the other party found him, or passed by by chance for other reasons.

He can't take the risk of being captured before revenge, so he can only act first.

Bai Yutang scanned the examinee's appearance up and down, and said somewhat unwillingly, "It's really ordinary, how can it be that it can commit a murder that shocked the whole city? Although the hands are not the hands of a scholar, they are not like the hands of a student." Does it look like you can use a weapon?"

The old man looked at the examinee with fear and hatred, and said to Jiang Lin and the others: "Yes, yes, some officials, when this man came to stay in the store, he only said that he was Wei Heng, and we didn't know he was like this man."

Jiang Lin felt that the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it mentioned before.He sent the guys downstairs temporarily, and asked Wei Heng what he had guessed in his mind with a frown: "Are you the sculptor who was fired by Yumoshufang?"

"Sculptor?" Xie Ling asked in surprise, not identifying this person for a while.

He wanted to ask if this person was the one who attacked Jiang Lin in the library, but Bai Yutang didn't know that Jiang Lin had been attacked by a "guard". that……?"

Jiang Lin understood what he meant, shook his head, and said, "I saw a thick horizontal callus on his left thumb, like the mark left by a carver when he held a carving knife in his right hand and pressed his left hand against the engraving plate. When Feng Hu was causing trouble in front of the Moshufang, he mentioned that the carpenter brother he was dismissed was named Ah Heng."

Seeing that they recognized him, Wei Heng shrugged nonchalantly, as if a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.He lazily said: "So what, isn't it just death? I didn't blame the official for driving me out of the bookstore with your printing technology. Are you going to add a first-class crime to me?"

Hearing that his attitude was so casual, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but dim his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Stop talking nonsense. Why did you find the dog that appeared at the scene of the prefect Chen's crime at your place? And why on earth did you kill shopkeeper Peng?" ?”

Wei Heng snorted coldly and said, "What's the point? They're all dead, do you need to know why I did it?"

Bai Yutang was also so angry that he wanted to draw his sword: "You bastard..."

"It's because of Lu Ping." As soon as Jiang Lin finished speaking, he saw that Wei Heng's eyes turned cold.

Regardless of his reaction, Jiang Lin continued: "When I found the complaint in the arms of shopkeeper Peng, Jiang found it strange. If shopkeeper Peng really treats Lu Ping as a good brother, why is the tavern guy chatting with us? Lu usually couldn't even tell his name, and he never mentioned his relationship with his shopkeeper?"

"Combined with the information that the buddy once said that Lao Yu was familiar with them, it is more likely that he has a better relationship with Shopkeeper Peng. Although Shopkeeper Peng and Lu Ping are from the same hometown, in the face of huge benefits , it is inevitable that there will be some other thoughts.”

"Heh... what a fellow countryman. How can that villain Peng Yu still have half a brother's fellowship in his heart?!" Wei Heng grinned, but the veins on his forehead stood out violently, and his expression became extremely gloomy.

He seemed to be nervous and said: "He lied to my brother-in-law that he could find a good buyer for the pearl, and then he joined forces with Master Chen who wanted to buy the pearl and his slave named Yu to kill my brother-in-law. The Pearl was also taken away by them. I heard the news of my brother-in-law’s death, and when I went to find Peng Yu, he pretended to help me write a complaint, but he found someone to beat me up on the way..."

"Do you know? I fell to the ground, I was out of breath, and I was desperately protecting the paper... I finally brought the blood-stained paper to the Kaifeng government office, but was directly bombarded by the gatekeeper. out."

"Those yamen servants didn't even read what was written in my complaint, they just talked about my bad luck, don't use that kind of bloody thing to spoil the good day of his new master Chen's new official..."

Everyone present was a little shocked.

I thought that the pleading paper was not handed in, and only half of it was left because of insufficient evidence, but I didn't want to be beaten back and stained with blood.

Wei Heng raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Lin with cold eyes: "It is only natural to kill people for their lives, I just let these people pay the due price, those who cannot be dealt with by your government can only be dealt with by us ordinary people! "

Jiang Lin's kick landed on Wei Heng's shoulder.He sternly said: "There are many good officials in the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. No matter how bad it is, you can go to the Yushitai for cases related to officials. If you insist on going to the murderer to handle the murder case, you still want to accuse the court of inaction? "

"I would like to ask you, how did you explain the ins and outs of Lu Ping's death so clearly, as if you saw it with your own eyes?" Jiang Lin picked up Wei Heng's collar, stared into his eyes and said word by word, "The laws of the Song Dynasty are strict, if you really have evidence, you are not afraid that Lu Ping will not be able to reverse the case!"

"Yes...but I can't..." Wei Heng's eyes hesitated for a moment, and he said firmly again, "They have all received retribution, I can't..."

"Yu Liang hasn't received his retribution yet," Jiang Lin said.

The information of Dali Temple is kept strictly confidential. Jiang Lin thinks that Wei Heng has no way to confirm whether Yu Liang has committed suicide in fear of crime.

He began to display his acting skills, and said slowly: "Didn't you say that you want the bad guys to be punished, and you call yourself a righteous man? Since you said that Yu Liang killed your righteous brother, why bother to take revenge on innocent people?" body, let the real murderer get away with it?"

"You tell me where Yu Shun'er is, and I, Jiang Lin, promise in my own name that if what you said is true, I will help Lu Ping reverse the case."

Seeing the hesitation in Wei Heng's eyes, Jiang Lin strikes while the iron is hot.

"Besides, there is a difference between killing one person and killing two people. Let Yu Shun'er come back, and I will also find the person who killed the prefect of Chen before you, so that you will be spared from prison."

Xie Ling was surprised and said, "Young Cheng, what do you mean..."

Jiang Lindao: "That's right, when Wei Heng sneaked into the Kaifeng government office on the night of the Tiangou eclipse, the prefect Chen had already been killed by others."
