Chapter 40: There is another murderer
Xue Ping and the middle-aged man walked into the lobby quickly. Lu Bingwen was originally kneeling on the ground. When he heard Zhou Ze's words, he hurriedly turned around, but the bad guy beside him had already held his movements.
After the middle-aged man bowed, he held the account book and looked nervous. Zhou Ze pointed at the person and asked:
"Who is standing in the hall?"
The middle-aged man quickly bowed and answered:
"Caomin Wang Man opened a clinic on Nanguan Street called Yong'an Hall."
"Do you recognize the person next to you?"
Wang Man glanced at Lu Bingwen.
"I know that this person is Lu Bingwen, the shopkeeper of the silk shop."
Zhou Ze nodded, stared at Lu Bingwen and continued to ask:
"I ask you, ten years ago, before March 28, 2008, Changhe, did Lu Bingwen go to your Yong'an Hall to catch medicine?"
Wang Man quickly raised the account and turned to a creased page.
"On the eighth day of the 7th year of Changhe, Lu Bingwen came to Yong'an Hall. He wanted to buy a pound of arsenic, saying that the mice in his home were flooding and always biting the cloth.
Because this is a highly toxic substance and I bought so many, the small ones are very cautious, so when I sell them, I asked him to sign and explain the reason. If there is anything in the future, I can check it out one or two. Please see this record that was retained at that time in Mingfu."
Xue Ping directly held the booklet and delivered it to Zhou Ze. Not to mention that Wang Man was very careful, the purchase time, amount, purchaser, purpose, and finally Lu Bingwen's signature.
Zhou Ze waved his hand and signaled Xue Ping to show the account book to Lu Bingwen.
The neighbors also came over and glanced at him. After seeing him, they were a few steps further away from Lu Bingwen.
"Wang Man, I ask you, when the county government investigated the case ten years ago, why didn't you talk about it?"
Wang Man quickly explained:
"This arsenic was bought twenty days ago. The moment was a bit long. Besides, the county government issued a list saying that the butcher Deng's family was killed and all were killed with one knife, so I didn't think much about it."
Zhou Ze nodded and looked at Lu Bingwen in the hall.
At this time, Lu Bingwen was already slumped on the ground, and the struggle of the heart ghost on his body continued to melt, as if he was integrated with Lu Bingwen. Zhou Ze knew that his current psychological defense line had collapsed.
"Do you think you're doing it perfectly? And it's been ten years since the matter has been made, and even if you propose an old case, you can't verify it, right?
However, the official opened the coffin and found that all thirteen people were killed with one knife, not by cutting their necks, but by slashing them hard at the neck. There was only one explanation for this, that is, the hatred was extremely deep, especially Deng Shuhui, whose cervical vertebrae was almost cut off.
None of the thirteen people resisted, and there were three middle-aged men, who had never alarmed their neighbors. In this way, there was only one possibility, that is, they must have been drugged or poisoned before they died.
Then I used a silver needle to detect the corpse. Although it had been ten years, the silver needle still changed slightly. At this moment, the evidence of your purchase of arsenic is conclusive. Don’t you admit it?”
Lu Bingwen cried and burst into tears. After hearing others tell all this, he seemed to feel his ferocity. He shouted:
"I admit that I killed their family, but I really admire Deng Shuhui. I didn't expect that their Deng family would go back on their word. Deng Shuhui actually had an affair with the poor scholar. She trampled on my true heart so much. How can a man tolerate it?"
Zhou Ze shook his head.
"No matter whether the Deng family is right or wrong, it has been ten years since you killed him. After dreaming of it at midnight, can you see Deng Shuhui question you?"
Lu Bingwen lay on the ground and cried loudly.
Perhaps the last sentence Zhou Ze asked was his greatest torture.
Zhou Ze waved his hand and asked Cui Wenbin to sign and seal it.
"Lu Bingwen confessed to the murder of the thirteen-year-old Deng family, and signed the escort and escorted the surveillance. Xue Shaofu led people to release the corpses of the thirteen-year-old Deng family to their original place, restored the coffin tomb as it was, and retired from the hall!"
Once the backlog of cases is retried, it still needs to be reported to you at all levels. Finally, the Ministry of Justice will verify it. This requires a long time limit.
Zhou Ze stood up, and the neighbors and Wang Man from Yong'an Hall all bowed to Zhou Ze, and Zou kept wiping his tears.
"The Qingtian of Ming Mansion is alive, and the Deng family is injustice!"
Zhou Ze sighed slightly and went directly to the back hall. In fact, after the trial of the case was completed, he felt no relief.
Change her clothes and clean her hands, sat in front of the table, took the tea from Sanbao, patted Xiaobai on her shoulder, and signaled her to come down to have tea.
Sanbao looked excited and looked at Zhou Ze with shiny eyes.
"Young Master is so amazing. After so many years of cases, it was just a case that opened the coffin and checked the bones and then broke."
Zhou Ze shook his head and sighed, but he had not explained that Zhubu Cui and Xue Ping had come in.
Zhou Ze looked up at Xue Ping, a little confused.
"Have anyone sent to settle the corpse?"
Xue Ping nodded and tried hard to endure the joy in his heart.
"Don't worry, according to the records outside the corpse, you will be buried well. Those neighbors also said that they would bring incense, candles and paper money to pay tribute to them later, and also talk about today's case with their family. The case was finally solved, and they would also comfort the deceased."
Cui Wenbin looked at Zhou Ze, gave Xue Ping a look, and asked with confusion:
"The case is solved, why is the Ming Mansion a little depressed?"
Zhou Ze sighed again.
"Actually, there is another murderer in this tragedy."
Cui Wenbin, who had always been calm, was stunned and quickly put down the tea sent by Sanbao and looked at Zhou Ze with shock.
"Mingfu means that this case was not done by one person?"
Zhou Ze shook his head.
"The only one who killed someone was Lu Bingwen. The murderer I mentioned was Liu Xiusheng, the poor scholar who was funded by the Deng family. He was rescued by the Deng family and even sponsored him to go to Beijing for the exam. If he really had any intention of Deng Shuhui, he could tell the Deng butcher clearly.
Deng Butcher Deng discussed with Lu Bingwen many times for his daughter, which at least shows that he loved his daughter and also sponsored a poor scholar whom he had never met to go to Beijing to take the exam. This is human kindness.
But what did Liu Xiusheng do? He was sponsored to take the exam, but he had no news for ten years, and he had an affair with Deng Shuhui early, defaming her innocence, how could she face her future life?
Even without Lu Bingwen's fierce move, Deng Shuhui might have lost the Qinglantern Ancient Buddha in the second half of her life. What's more serious is that she will have to cut off herself. Isn't he the murderer?"
Xue Ping nodded.
"Mingfu is right."
Cui Wenbin thought about it.
"I'll check it out later. This Liu Xiusheng is probably a scholar from Hejiang. He should register and make a book. After going to the capital, he will fail the exam or where he went. "
Zhou Ze shook his head.
I feel that I have certain feelings, but I know what I can do. If the other party has become an official, I have reached a certain position for ten years. If such a thing is revealed, it is to make an enemy for myself.
"Forget it, let's do the follow-up, and the case is settled. Is Xue Shaofu trying to investigate all the backlog cases? Or is there a clue in this case, so I was tracing it?"
Xue Ping quickly stood up and saluted.
If the case on the first day was just a lucky draw, then the subsequent assistance to the people to sell and sell them, and today's coffin and autopsy are the great ability, how can ordinary people do it?
At this moment, Xue Ping's heart changed drastically.
"Before, my subordinates told the Ming Mansion about the backlog of cases. Looking back, there was something wrong with that. Yesterday, the cargo ship was done, and my subordinates thought it was time to start investigating.
So, I sent someone to investigate and investigate early today. I didn’t expect that the visitor was lucky. I learned that Lu Bingwen wanted to buy a house, but no one expected that the deed was obtained from the Deng family, so I quickly investigated it."
Zhou Ze nodded and signaled them to drink tea.
"It is not impossible to clean up sedimentary cases, but they have to be classified. Some theft cases will be temporarily shelved if there is no certified physical evidence. After all, such cases are very unsatisfied when solved, and it is almost thankless to work.
We try to start with cases that are very influential, well-known and well-known. When the people hear such cases, their trust in the county government will also increase. This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone."
Cui Wenbin nodded vigorously, very much agreeing with Zhou Ze's words.
"Mingfu is right. If you catch one or two thieves, this has no influence. You still have to start with the major case."
Xue Ping paused, his face a little embarrassed.
"Mingfu means that it is not to investigate the cause of his death...they took office as Liu Mingfu?"
Cui Wenbin was a little stuck suddenly, so he quickly picked up the teacup, and Zhou Ze waved his hand indifferently.
"I just came to Hejiang and everything is not very familiar. Let's start with the murder of local people!"
Xue Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and thought for a while and his eyes lit up.
"I thought of a case, although it was not a murder case, it was even more cruel."
Zhou Ze urged:
Chapter completed!
