It was still the child who opened the door and looked at him timidly. Leng Yi pinched his little cheek gently, then walked into the yard, came to the door, patted the door, and said: "Song Cai, I am from Yinling County

The county magistrate, Leng Yi, was here just now."

Song Cai's weak voice came from the room: "Please come in, sir!"

Leng Yi carefully opened the door and walked in. He saw Song Cai's wife holding the pair of scissors in her hand and hiding behind the curtain, still trembling.

Leng Yi immediately stopped, speaking as slowly as possible, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I'm here to help you."

Song Cai also said: "My dear, Mr. Leng is a good man. Don't be afraid. Come out."

The two of them talked softly for a long time, and then they persuaded his wife to come out. She was shivering and clutching the bed rail with a pale face. She only lowered her head and did not dare to look at Leng Yi.

Leng Yi stretched out his hand, walked forward slowly, and said gently: "Give me the scissors, okay? There is a thread in my clothes, and I want to borrow your scissors. Can that be okay?"

Song Cai knew Leng Yi's intention and helped him: "Yes! If the eldest master wants to use scissors, you can lend the scissors to him first."

Song Cai's daughter-in-law timidly handed the scissors to Leng Yi. Leng Yi took the scissors and said, "I have something to tell your husband. Can you go outside to spend time with the child?"

Song Cai hurriedly said to his wife: "It's okay. You can go out. I'll discuss things with the elder. It's okay. Don't worry. When you are outside, close the courtyard door and the bad guys can't get in!" Song Cai's wife nodded.

He hugged his shoulders and went out the door.

Leng Yi closed the door and sat on a stool opposite Song Cai. He looked at him and said slowly: "I know it was you who killed Hao Wei's wife Xia!"

Song Cai was shocked and said in a hoarse voice: "It's not me! Hao Wei and I are good brothers. It's because of our good relationship that the Su family came together with him. She is like my sister-in-law. How could I kill her?"

"

Leng Yi picked up the Naha scissors and said, "Are these scissors yours?"

"yes!"

"Never lost it?"

"No!"

Leng Yi took out a small paper bag from his arms, opened the seal, and poured out a sharp tip the size of a grain of rice. He said: "We just took this from the gap in the skull of Hao Wei's wife's corpse. I believe it was broken when the murderer killed the victim."

It’s in the skull.” After that, he gently placed the severed head on the broken edge of the scissors, and it fit perfectly!

Song Cai's face suddenly turned pale. He said in a panic: "It's not me! She is my good brother's wife. I have no reason to kill her!"

"You have no motive to kill her, but you hate the eldest young master of the Su family deeply. If you kill him directly, the government will immediately suspect you. So, you discuss with someone who also has an enemy.

, carry out exchange killings! - You help him kill his enemies, and he helps you kill your enemies. In this way, there is no hatred between you and the objects you each kill, and the government will not be able to suspect you, and

When your enemy was killed, you had sufficient alibi and could not be a suspect in the murder of your enemy. As long as there is no evidence that you discussed the exchange of murders, you will probably get away with it. Indeed, this is

It's a good means of revenge. It's a pity that you showed your flaws here. I caught you with evidence of murder. It was actually a coincidence. I just happened to see the broken tip of the knife in your wife's hand.

The scissors on his head. The wound on the deceased is the same as the wound caused by the scissors, which proves that your scissors are the murder weapon! - After all, who is the person who killed you in exchange?"

Song Cai lowered his head and said nothing.

Leng Yi said: "You don't tell me, but I actually know it. He is Chang Li, right?"

Song Cai was shocked again and looked at Leng Yi. He was surprised, how could the county magistrate find out the truth so quickly?

Leng Yi seemed to see through his mind and said: "It's actually not difficult to find the person who exchanged killings with you. Since it is an exchange of killings, he is naturally the enemy of the person you killed. The list of enemies provided by Hao Wei

Chang Lichang’s name is there, but he was excluded because he had sufficient alibi. The place where the eldest young master of the Su family was killed is not far from Chang Lichang’s house. Although I haven’t asked him yet, but

I'm sure he couldn't find any alibi. Therefore, he is most likely the person who exchanged murders with you! As for why he wanted to kill Hao Wei's wife, I also guessed something. I asked him before,

There was any grudge between their family and Chang Li, but Chang Li was evasive. Chang Li's family was a big family in the village, and Hao Wei's family was very poor. However, in a short period of time, they suddenly became rich and built a big tile-roofed house. How could they get this money?

Are you here? I believe it may be related to this case."

There was no color at all on Song Cai's face.

Leng Yi said: "Since I have found the definite evidence of your murder, I didn't bring the police to arrest you. Do you know why?"

Song Cai shook his head sadly.

"Because I know there must be a reason for you to do this. And it is an understandable reason."

Song Cai looked at Leng Yi gratefully.

Leng Yi said: "Now, are you willing to tell me the truth?"

Song Cai had no choice. He could only nod his head and said: "Master Su, he raped my wife. I went to the Yamen to complain, but the Yamen said it was my wife who seduced him. I saw with my own eyes that they stuffed a ball of cloth into my wife's mouth.

He held my wife's hands and feet down and raped her without letting her scream. My wife cried and struggled. How could it be seduction? Seeing that my wife was so frightened and humiliated that she became like this. I vowed to kill him for revenge!

However, I knew that when he went out, he was followed by a bunch of thugs and servants. I followed him several times with a knife, but I had no chance to make a move. Instead, I was almost discovered by him. At this time, Chang Lichang came to my house and followed him privately.

I said that it was impossible for me to kill him like this. I was so frightened by his words that I broke into a cold sweat. He then told me that he had a way for me to take revenge and asked me if I was willing. As long as I could take revenge, what would I do?

Everyone is willing! He just said that he would help me kill the eldest young master of the Su family, and I would help him kill Hao Wei and his wife."

Leng Yi was stunned and said: "Kill him and his wife? Why?"

"I asked him the same thing. He said I don't need to know this, but I said, I must know whether he should kill him or not. I can't kill a good person. So he sneered and said that if Hao Wei and his wife are both good people,

There are no good people in the world! He said that Hao Wei and his wife set up a trap and deliberately invited him to their home for a drink, but drugged his wine. Then Hao Wei left with an excuse and Chang Lichang drank the drug.

After passing out from medicine, when he woke up, he found that he was hugging a woman with his whole body. He thought it was his wife. He was drunk and didn't bother to check carefully, so he had sex with her. Then someone held a lantern and held it.

The knife broke in, and Chang Lichang saw that it was Hao Wei, but the person beside him was Hao Wei's wife! Hao Wei's wife immediately cried and said that Chang Lichang had raped her. Chang Lichang was confused and didn't know what to do.

What should I do? I don’t know what happened. Hao Wei forced him with a knife and asked him to write a confession, admitting that he raped Hao Wei’s wife and was willing to pay one hundred taels of silver. Chang Li was very scared, and he did

After having sex with Hao Wei's wife, they wrote it in a daze. Afterwards, they also gave them one hundred taels of silver. However, after Hao Wei and his wife received the one hundred taels, they were greedy and did not return the confession letter.

Instead of giving it to him, he continued to extort money from him. If he didn't give it, he threatened to sue the government. Chang Lichang was extorted from him for three hundred taels of silver, but Hao Wei and his wife had no intention of giving up. Moreover, Hao Wei also made a concession.

A request he cannot accept!"

"any request?"

"He asked Chang Li Chang to let Chang Li Chang's wife sleep with him once, and the matter was evened out. Chang Li Chang's wife is the daughter of a wealthy family. There is no way she would agree to this ridiculous request and instead expose the matter.

, so Chang Lichang decided to kill him. But he was worried that if he killed someone directly, he would arouse suspicion, because Hao Wei had already told his family and relatives about the incident. Of course, he just said that Chang Lichang had something to do with them.

He took money in his hand and sealed their mouths, but he didn't say anything."

Leng Yi said: "The human heart is insatiable and greedy, which leads to the disaster of death."

Song Cai continued: "After hearing this, I thought that Hao Wei's family suddenly became rich during this time. It turned out to be this, so I believed it. The two of us began to discuss the specific details of the murder. We agreed that I would kill Hao Wei first.

Then he killed the eldest young master of the Su family, and then I killed Hao Wei. He said that if I killed one more person, he would compensate me with two hundred taels of silver, and let us leave here and go to our distant relatives.

I agreed. Anyway, although Hao Wei has a good relationship with me, I don’t like the couple as a couple. In order to take revenge, I couldn’t care less. The two of us discussed the specific time of the killing so that the other party could leave the village that day.

, looking for evidence of alibi. After learning that Hao Wei had gone to his parents' house, we decided to take action. That day, I drank a lot and saw that there was no one around, so I took a pair of scissors to Hao Wei's house and asked her to open the door.

I happened to be cooking, and I was chatting with her in the kitchen. When she wasn't paying attention, I stabbed her head with scissors from behind, and she fell down. I stabbed her a few more times to make sure she was dead, and then ran away.

After returning home, Chief Chang kept his word, and three days later, he killed Master Su."

"How did he kill him, do you know?"

"He didn't say it, but he was often with Young Master Su and had many opportunities. After he killed Young Master Su, he urged me to kill Hao Wei quickly. However, the Su family suspected that it was me who did it, so they

I was arrested and beaten severely, but Chang Li came forward and persuaded me to send him to the Yamen, so I was sent to the Yamen. Later, I was released, and the Su family kept watching us. I didn't have time to kill Hao Wei, and besides, I was sick now.

It’s gone, and there’s no way to do it.”^-^^-^
