Ever since Pei Zhe said that sentence at the dinner table, Lin Jingkong was in a daze, and he didn't know how he left the dinner table after eating.

Regarding this, Yun Wuyang was quite puzzled: "My lord, you didn't sleep with Jin Lingjiu, what kind of heart did he hurt?"

Pei Zhe was thinking about something, when he heard the words, he said casually: "It's sad that his old friend has not been found."

Yun Wuyang: "?"

After questioning Zhong Limei, Pei Zhe had some ideas about the magistrate's case, and reckoned that if he checked again, he would have a clue. He was in a good mood, and without delay, he went to the Yamen that afternoon to interrogate Qian Zheng.

The matter of Qian Zheng is not only related to Sun Liu's case, Pei Zhe can almost be sure that Jinling's inexplicable appearance in the morning must have something to do with this matter, and he has to find out quickly to see what kind of relationship it is.

Pei Zhe never thought that the case between Jinling Jiu and Sun Liu was related. Just as the two of them said when they drank tea, Jinling Jiu has the pride of Jinling Jiu. More inclined Jinling Jiu is also interested in whoever killed Sun Liu.

The well-known Jinlingjiu was so concerned about the death of the little-known Sun Liu, it was hard for Pei Zhe not to be curious about the reason. After all, he was very curious about everything related to Jinlingjiu now.

This time he went to the Yamen without Yun Wuyang, Pei Zhe asked him to send Zhong Limo home, Zhong Limo cooperated so much today, Pei Zhe always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where it was, so he could only pay attention for now.

The letter that Zhongli Mo sorted out was taken away by Lin Jingkong. Although Commander Lin was slightly dissatisfied with the appearance of his name on it, he did not deny most of the people on it. His relationship with the magistrate is not far or close. In the Huaizhou official circles, I also heard about some things, and knew that Zhongli Mei had sorted it out without too much refutation.

Put it away for now, who knows if it will be useful in the future, if Zhongli Mo can cooperate, the dealings between many people above and the magistrate will become a sharp weapon to threaten them, although Lin Jingkong is not interested in making any crooked thoughts, But he was not willing to lose such a bargaining chip.

The commanding army brought Qian Zheng back to the yamen. He didn't say a word during the period, and directly put him in the prison. No matter how much Qian Zheng yelled, he didn't respond. The guards of the prison have seen this kind of thing a lot, so they persuaded him through the prison door. : "Save your energy, the days will be long in the future, and you will bear some."

When Qian Zheng heard this, he panicked instantly and squatted down in the corner of the cell.

So when Pei Zhe went to the prison to interrogate people, what he saw was the slumped Qian Zheng. As soon as he saw him, Qian Zheng became excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood: "My lord, my lord, I was wronged." Yes, I was wronged, I did nothing, my lord!"

Prisoners like to shout "I was wronged" these days. The more flustered they are, the more they like this. Even if they don't know why they were arrested, but shouting that sentence seems to be able to suspend the tension in their hearts like.

Pei Zhe sat down calmly: "Why have you been wronged?"

Sure enough, Qian Zheng got stuck.

Pei Zhe: "Didn't you say that you were wronged? If you were wronged, tell us everything so that we can avenge you. If you don't, then deal with it according to the rules."

Qian Zheng was stunned for two seconds, then faltered and said: "I, I..."

He "I" for a long time without saying anything, Pei Zhe became impatient, and slapped the table: "Don't want to say it yet? I gave you a chance to confess, you don't cherish it, and you still fool me like a fool, okay, come on People, let him go down and hit fifty big boards first!"

Before the interrogation, Pei Zhe specifically asked all the people in the yamen to go out, picked two officers and soldiers of the commanding army who looked the most vicious, and went into the cell with him.At this time, when the two heard his order, they immediately stepped forward, and one of them lifted Qian Zheng up. Qian Zheng struggled subconsciously twice, and the officer's face sank, and he scolded: "Be honest!"

Fifty big boards, half of his life was gone after beating, Qian Zheng trembled in fright, secretly went to see Pei Zhe, but saw that Pei Zhe didn't pay attention to him at all, finally understood, this gentle-looking official Not at all as harmless as it appears.

The officers and soldiers were leaving the interrogation room with the money, and walked towards the direction of punishment. Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from Pei Zhe, Qian Zheng's heart tightened. Thinking of what he said just now, he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, I said, I will Said, I lied to adults before, I didn't see a ghost at all, I lied, I was afraid, I lied..."

Pei Zhe shouted "Come back", and the officers and soldiers immediately turned around and brought Qian Zheng back to the interrogation room.

The two of them were not familiar with the prison, so they didn't know where to go to play the board. They just picked a random direction to go. If Pei Zhe didn't call to stop, they didn't know where they would go.

Pei Zhe pointed to the stool, and the officers and soldiers understood and pressed the money on it.

Because Qian Zheng didn't violate the law, and Pei Zhe didn't let him be locked up. During the interrogation, some tricks can be used, but Pei Zhe is determined not to do anything that violates the rules. On this point, he It is different from many people in the DPRK.

Pei Zhe raised his chin: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Qian Zheng lowered his head and told the whole story: "On the night of Shangyuan Festival, I went to watch along the street, because I drank some wine during the day, and when I was passing by the Huai River, I suddenly felt a urge to urinate and wanted to relieve my hand. It’s tight, I’m too lazy to run back and forth, so I’m going to settle it under the tree next to the river bank.”

Pei Zhe's face was indescribable. Although he could understand this approach, he was really flustered. It seemed that he would have to walk around the trees by the Huai River in the future.

Qian Zheng: "After I finished solving the problem, I was about to leave when I suddenly saw two people coming from the bridge. They covered their heads and carried something in their hands. Throwing it in the river, I don’t know what happened in the end, I threw it halfway and didn’t throw it away, I dragged the thing back. There is a distance between where I was standing and the bridge, not too close or far, it was quiet in the early morning, and I could faintly hear it What they were talking about, every single word, made me tremble with fear, let alone make any noise."

Pei Zhe moved slightly: "What did they say? Have you seen what they look like?"

Qian Zheng: "They all covered their faces, so they couldn't see what they looked like. They were dressed in ordinary black, nothing special. One of them complained that it was too heavy, and the other persuaded him a few words, saying that it was almost the same." Hurry up, send it there, and then take a good bath, it's too bad luck to carry the dead on the big festival."

"I listened to the word 'dead person' and took a closer look. The two people seemed to be carrying a real person. I was scared out of my wits. The cat was behind the tree and didn't dare to come out until they were far away. Looking at the light of the lanterns along the coast, I saw a small puddle of red things on the bridge, and smelled it, it was blood."

On the night of Shangyuan, there are indeed lanterns everywhere, and the most lively places in the city are like daytime.

Pei Zhe looked at him suspiciously: "That night there were lanterns everywhere, especially by the Huai River. You hid under the tree and were not found?"

Mentioning this, Qian Zheng expressed his gratitude in his tone: "I'm lucky. There is no lantern hanging on the tree I'm standing on. Under the tree is the river bank and bridge embankment. There are many footprints. It may be that people walking from here saw the beautiful lantern. Take it."

Hearing this, Pei Zhe suddenly changed his expression. On the day of Shangyuan Festival, he also took a lantern from the shore. If it was the same lantern, it would be a coincidence.

Qian Zheng lowered his eyelids and pinched the jaws of his right hand: "When I thought that what those two people were carrying might be a corpse, I was afraid. I lost my mind during the watch and missed a watch. I comforted myself that I might have guessed wrong. Who Knowing that the news spread the next afternoon, saying that a corpse was found in the Lord Commander's mansion, I immediately thought of what I saw at night, and the time can be matched."

Pei Zhe finally understood what was going on, and he almost understood what was going on. The corpse Qian Zheng saw should be Sun Liu's body. The murderer was dealing with Sun Liu's body and transporting it to Lin Jingkong's residence.

"Why didn't you report to the official?" Pei Zhe asked.

Qian Zheng smiled wryly: "My lord, it's not that I don't want to report to the officials, but I dare not report to the officials. Those two masked men looked ruthless at first glance. You know the yamen of our Huaizhou city. Alas, I'm afraid of death. I'm really afraid of death, I'm afraid that if I report to the government, nothing will be found out at the Yamen, and I will pay my life first."

Pei Zhe looked at him disapprovingly: "So you pretend to be sick at home? How long are you going to pretend? For the rest of your life?"

Qian Zheng wiped his face dejectedly: "I can't help it, my lord, I don't want to die! The accents of those two people don't seem to be from Huaizhou City. They might be here for a night banquet. I thought about it first. Just pretend, after this period of time, the limelight has passed, and I will continue to work. My lord, I really didn't report it on purpose, I don't want to die, I'm afraid..."

Not a local accent?Pei Zhe narrowed his eyes.

There is nothing to blame for Qian Zheng's choice. In the final analysis, he did not do anything bad. He concealed it because he was afraid of death. From the standpoint of the government, he would indeed get angry, but from a personal point of view, Pei Zhe can understand.

It is human nature to be afraid of death.

After asking about Sun Liu's case, it was time for another matter. Pei Zhe patted the table and woke Qianzheng who was immersed in his emotions: "When we went to your house in the morning, why didn't you tell the truth? Did you make up any ghost stories, did someone instigate you to tell you so on purpose?"

Qian Zheng kept shaking his head: "No, my lord, no one instructed me, who can instruct me about this, except you, I have never mentioned this to anyone else."

Pei Zhe: "Then why don't you tell the truth?"

"I dare not!" Qian Zheng clasped his hands together and said excitedly, "I have never dared to go out at home, and people from the government came to the door. My lord, if it were you, would you be afraid? I'm afraid I'll tell you That’s right, the government’s investigation with great fanfare has caused a lot of noise in the city, and those two people will come to see me next, after all, I don’t know if the government can catch him after finding out who the murderer is.”

Pei Zhe sighed secretly. According to normal people's thinking, the government came to him and helped them solve the case and catch the murderer, but Qian Zheng's worries were not unreasonable. The government of Huaizhou City really couldn't do it People feel at ease to deliver.

Qian Zheng had never seen anyone before, and Pei Zhe couldn't be tortured. Moreover, meeting Zuo Ping did not violate the law, and he didn't have the prerequisites for torture.

He ordered the officers and soldiers to send Qian Zheng back to the prison. The case is still pending and the murderer has not been caught. Qian Zheng's life cannot be guaranteed, and it is safer to stay in prison.

After staying in prison for a long time, Pei Zhe felt that he was about to be marinated. These days, he ran to dirty places, whether it was a garbage dump or a prison cell. He fumbled to solve the case quickly, and went to Let the wind go.

Lin Jingkong was decadent in the mansion for a while, and suddenly thought about it again. Even if they didn't sleep together, the relationship between Pei Zhe and Jin Lingjiu is obviously not normal, but he still remembered how Pei Zhe warned him last night Yes, after figuring it out, he came to the Yamen excitedly.

Commander Lin was smarter this time, and his mind turned around. He was not the only one who wanted to solve the case quickly, but Pei Zhe also wanted to. If there were clues in Jinling Jiu, he was anxious, and Pei Zhe must be anxious too. It just didn't show up.

To get Pei Zhe to ask for clues, there is only one opportunity missing: how to get Pei Zhe and Jin Lingjiu together.

These two are staying together, are you still worried that they won't talk about the case?What else do they have to talk about besides the case? !

On the way to the yamen, Lin Jingkong was thinking about this matter, thinking about how to create an opportunity, he kept thinking about the yamen, but he couldn't think of a suitable way.

He met Pei Zhe on the way to the prison cell. There was a small area surrounded by wooden fences. It was set up by people from the government office to grow vegetables. Pei Zhe was standing beside him, looking at the dry vegetables inside. leaf.

Lin Jingkong heard from the officers and soldiers that Pei had interrogated Qian Zheng, and asked casually, "Did you find out anything?"

Pei Zhe stretched his waist: "Two people carried Sun Liu to your house. These two people don't have a local accent, but they both covered their faces. I don't know what they look like."

Lin Jingkong frowned: "Except for the accent, there are no valuable clues."

Pei Zhe was noncommittal.

The two walked out together, Pei Zhe pulled his sleeves while walking, lowered his head and sniffed.

Lin Jingkong saw that his movements were amusing, and said with a smile, "What does this smell like?"

"Smell the smell on your body." Pei Zhe put down his sleeves and explained, "Friends who are acquainted with each other go to the prison every three days. They used to say that there is a smell in the cell, and it will be stained after a long time. Run into the cell and smell if you smell anything."

Lin Jingkong laughed when he heard it, and just about to say something, suddenly his mind moved, and he thought of the right opportunity.

The Lin family has a rich family background, Lin Jingkong also has a property outside Huaizhou City, the location is good, a big house was built, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is a hot spring drawn from the mountain inside. Soak is comfortable.

The house is not far from the training site of the commanding army. In the past, Lin Jingkong lived there in the winter. He asked someone to clean it years ago. After a series of bad things happened during the Lantern Festival, he didn’t have time to empty it out. Live in the house, everything in the house is complete.

Lin Jingkong looked at Pei Zhe: "Master Pei has an inexplicable smell."

Pei Zhe was startled in his heart, his words were a bit of a joke, and he didn't take it seriously. Hearing what Lin Jingkong said now, he instantly felt something wrong all over his body, and he seemed to smell a very light rotten and moldy smell.

Seeing the people around him feeling uncomfortable, Lin Jing was overjoyed, and said casually, "I heard that hot springs can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and remove odors. I happen to have a house outside the city, very close. Would you like to take a dip, my lord?"

spa?Pei Zhe's eyes lit up, didn't he come to the pillow just after dozing off!

The author has something to say:

Not only came the pillow, but also came your friend (dog head)
