Qiu Wuhen said: "Remember carefully, who was not there at that time, that is to say, who stayed by the fire? This is very important."

"Anyway, when Erlang and I came back, we only saw Meifeng and Fatty by the stove. No one else was there. They must have gone to find firewood. But Meifeng was lying on the ground, and Fatty was squatting next to her. No.

He knew what he was doing. When Zhang Erlang saw it, he went crazy and took out a knife and stabbed the fat man. The fat man kept screaming that it was not him and he was not him. He hid and hid and still received two knives on his body, and his clothes were all punctured. But he

The clothes he was wearing were quite thick, and seemed to be made of silk cotton, but the blood didn’t come out.”

"Zhang Erlang knelt down to look at Meifeng again. After a second glance, he shouted that Meifeng was dead and was killed by the fat man. Then he rushed over and tried to chop the fat man with a knife. The fat man ran away, and he chased the fat man.

I chased him downstairs. At this time I heard shouting, it was Zhang Dalang who came back, he and Cheetah. As a result, he also found that Meifeng was dead. He went crazy and grabbed a stone and rushed down. I saw them

There was a fight in the distance, Zhang Dalang and Zhang Erlang were arguing, and then the two started fighting, and the fat man ran away, and soon disappeared, I don’t know where he went.”

"I was so frightened that I didn't know what to do. Then Cheetah pointed a wooden stick at me and asked me if I had killed Meifeng. I said how could it be possible. But he didn't listen at all and hit me with the stick without saying anything. I was scared.

I had to turn around and run, so I ran to the edge of the cliff in one breath. I saw that he didn't chase me anymore, but I was also frightened and didn't want to go back, so I walked along the side of the mountain. I was worried that they were looking for me on the cliff.

When I saw the scene just now, I knew that they would definitely kill me if they found me. They were beating people down there just now, and they were beating people with stone knives, which would kill people. I didn't dare to fight as hard as they did.

"

"So I got into the snow, got all the way to the stream, and then crawled out from the stream. Thinking that it would be dark and they wouldn't be able to find me, I ran back along the stream, and that's what happened.

"

Qiu Wuhen said: "Where did the giraffe and Yinchai go? Didn't you see?"

"No, they hadn't come back when we came back. I don't know what happened."

"So you only saw Zhang Erlang stabbing the fat man with a knife, and then Zhang Dalang and Cheetah came back. Zhang Dalang chased Zhang Erlang with a stone, and then Cheetah hit you with a stick. You don't know what happened next.

Already?"

"That's it, I didn't lie. Master, you can check it. If there is even half a lie, you can kill me."

"Then the police are looking for you, why are you hiding?"

"I'm scared. They fought so fiercely down there. Someone must have died. And that Mei Feng also died by the stove. I'm afraid you might mistakenly think that I am the murderer, but in fact I am not."

Qiu Wuhen nodded and said: "Although you did not participate in the murder, you only witnessed the incident, but since you are an important witness at the scene, and you may also have participated in the murder. In order to help you clear your grievances, I am afraid you are still

You can't go back to the village, you have to stay in the Yamen, and you will be released when the case is cleared up."

"But if I don't go back, there will be no one to collect firewood, and the family will have no income. I have an old mother, and chickens, ducks, and pigs to take care of. If I'm not at home, who will take care of this stall?"

Qiu Wuhen smiled: "Your family still has chickens, ducks and pigs, which proves that they are living a good life. Don't worry, they will starve to death. I don't believe that your family will not be able to survive without you. How about I send someone

Go check it out, if it's not what you said, do you know the consequences of deceiving the Yamen?"

Wang Xiaosi's expression changed, and he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I was wrong, sir, I have an older brother. But he is lazy and not as diligent as me. I have to go back and take care of him."

"Okay, it's not a matter of discussion with you if you stay, it's the decision of the Yamen. Okay, take him to the prison, he won't need to be handcuffed or shackled, and his life will be better."

Qiu Wuhen originally wanted to put him in the inn and be there whenever he was called, but he obviously lied and his eyes flashed after being exposed, which made Qiu Wuhen feel uneasy. Since important witnesses could be imprisoned in ancient times, then

He was first imprisoned for witness protection, but the treatment was still not the same as that of a criminal, so he was specifically told not to wear torture instruments and to live a good life.

The policeman agreed and escorted Wang Xiaosi away.

At this time, an attendant quickly came in and reported: "Master Qi, there is a clerk in Jinzhitang who has been waiting for him outside for a while and said he has something important to report."

Qiu Wuhen immediately thought that Yin Chai, who was being treated in Jinzhitang, might have woken up, and quickly ordered: "Please come in quickly."

Soon the waiter came in, bowed and said: "Sir, our shopkeeper asked me to come and report that Miss Yinchai woke up about half an hour ago. However, she seemed very scared after she woke up, but she couldn't say a word

I didn’t say anything. The shopkeeper asked me to go to the mansion to inform Mr., but when I arrived at the mansion, he said that you were at the Yamen, so I hurried over."

Qiu Wuhen immediately rode his horse to Jinzhitang. When Qian Jinzhi saw him, he hurried over to greet him and whispered: "She is awake, but she hasn't said a word yet. She didn't answer anything when her parents asked her. I don't know why."

Something happened."

Qiu Wuhen hurried in and saw Yin Chai's parents sitting anxiously next to him, asking Yin Chai. But Yin Chai was leaning on the bed, holding his head in his hands, and turned a deaf ear to his parents' questions. Now Qiu Wuhen is here.

, her parents quickly stepped aside.

Qiu Wuhen sat down on the stool and said softly: "I am Master Xing from the county government. I am now in charge of your case. Can you tell me your name?"

Strangely enough, as soon as Qiu Wuhen asked, Yinchai reacted immediately. He put down the hand holding his head, looked at him and said, "My name is Yinchai, and my nickname is Xiaoling."

As soon as they heard their daughter's reply, she was not stupid, and her parents let out a long sigh of relief. The girl didn't say anything and just held her head. It was strange why Qiu Wuhen came and asked her immediately.

Just opened your mouth?

Qiu Wuhen said: "That day you were on the west side of Mount Yeji. You were in a cave. Do you know what happened?"

Yinchai shook his head and said: "I have just been thinking about what happened. My parents asked me what happened. I don't know, I really don't know. I have been thinking about it just now, but I can't remember anything."

Only then did everyone understand that it wasn't that she didn't want to answer just now, but that she had been remembering, but she couldn't remember, so she didn't answer the question.

Qiu Wuhen asked her: "What are the first and last things you can think of?"

"I can remember that we went out of the city to play in Xishan together, and then we met a woodcutter in Xishan, who seemed to be named Wang Xiaosi. We said we were going to Yeji Temple, but we never went, so we asked him to take us

Go, he took us to Yeji Temple. I still remember that we drank water in the temple, but I can’t remember what happened after that. I can’t remember what we did after drinking the water.

Get up. Then I woke up and lay on the bed. How did I come back, what happened, and where were they?"

Qian Jinzhi said: "Something happened to a few of them. They have..."

Qiu Wuhen waved to her, and Qian Jinzhi quickly stopped. Yinchai looked at Qiu Wuhen with some doubts. Qiu Wuhen looked at Yinchai's pale face and said, "It doesn't matter, don't be anxious first, take your time.

Think about it and tell me what comes to mind."
