"Passing by? Passing by Yizhuang at night? Are you looking for death?" Zhang Heng, standing aside, said sarcastically.
Above the hall, Yang Lu was sitting in the middle, while Hua Yanxi, Ye Yibai, Li Zhuo and Zhang Heng stood on both sides of the hall.
The man continued to complain: "The villain is really just passing by. I beg you to have mercy and let the villain go."
"He is five feet tall and tall. He should be the one who stabbed him." Hua Yanxi observed the man's body shape and confirmed.
The identity of this man has been clearly investigated. The man's name is Zhao Kuo, and he is the owner of a blacksmith shop. He is twenty-five years old this year. His wife died of illness seven years ago and he has no children.
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about stabbing people to kill? I don't understand it at all. I am just an honest person who does my duty." Zhao Kuo cried out.
"Honest man? You went to Yizhuang with the intention of setting a fire. It was obvious to everyone present. There are witnesses and physical evidence. Even if you deny it, it won't work."
Yang Lu was stunned and shouted: "If you still dare to speak harshly now, if someone comes, give him twenty blows first!"
After a long discussion, this person still refused to admit it and was very arrogant.
Just when Yang Lu was about to strike again, Hua Yanxi took the lead to stop him.
It was obviously useless to hit him with a plank. He was dedicated to that person and would even dare to kill him. How could he be afraid of the pain?
Hua Yanxi stepped forward and said: "You don't want to admit it now just to delay time. You want to wait until the corpses have decomposed and you can't do an autopsy. You are worried that the government will find out that the cause of death of the three people was not excessive blood loss, but poisoning.
Even if you don't plead guilty now, you will naturally have nothing to say when we catch the person who poisoned you."
Hearing this, the man who had not spoken a word suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly: "I am the one who killed the person, and I am the one who set the fire. That family of three is greedy. I have long disliked them. I plead guilty."
, I did it all, you can kill or scratch whatever you want!"
Hua Yanxi shook her head: "It's too late. We already examined the body the day after it was discovered. The cause of death was poisoning, not stab wounds."
When Zhao Kuo heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.
Immediately, he shouted heartbreakingly: "I was the one who killed the person. Aren't you just looking for the murderer? I have confessed my guilt now and I am willing to pay for my life. You should not continue the investigation!"
"What we are looking for is not a scapegoat, what we are looking for is the truth." Hua Yanxi said in a deep voice, then turned to look at Yang Lu: "Sir, our guess is correct, this person is the one who stabbed him.
As for the person who poisoned me, as long as we follow his connections and investigate, we should be able to gain something."
Yang Lu nodded: "Although this man is not the real culprit, his stabbing and intent to set fire are enough to convict him. Let's imprison him first and convict him together when the real culprit is caught."
When Zhao Kuo was dragged down, he was still resisting, shouting: "Don't investigate anymore, don't investigate anymore, I did it all, I did it all! I killed the person, I administered the poison,
It was just me from beginning to end."
Zhang Heng shook his head: "Who is the person who poisoned me? He is so protective that he can even prevent fire and burn corpses."
The next day, the spies Ye Yibai sent to the family of three's hometown to find out information came back and presented the information they found.
It turns out that this family's business is indeed farming.
Their village is not considered wealthy, and most of the young people go to the city to make a living, leaving only some elderly people farming in the village to make a living.
This information was all obtained from the mouths of those old people and is absolutely correct.
Twelve years ago, the Liu family spent money to buy a child bride from a neighboring village, who was about eight years old.
