Yangzi took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and sighed: "Captain Li, it's already past nine in the morning. According to the normal wedding situation, I only need to finish the makeup for Miss Cheng, and Miss Cheng can put on the red hijab and get into the sedan chair.
I can leave after I receive the wedding money. To be honest, I have taken on a lot of work these days. If there is nothing else, can I take the first step?"
Li Guolou glanced at me and said, "Tell me what you did last night. Once you explain it clearly, you can leave."
Yangzi frowned and said: "I went to bed very early last night, and when I woke up I heard that the young lady had been killed. What I told is completely true. Liu Weihuang, Brother Sangmeng and Old Man Li can all testify for me."
Old Man Li nodded and said, "Yes! When something happened in the inner house, we were all in the yard and no one was running around outside."
"Then have you guys gone out to listen to the opera?" Li Guolou turned to look at the people next to him.
"My master didn't go to the opera, we both went to the opera together." Zhou Xiaohuan rushed to say.
Roberts shook his head and said: "Xiao Lizi, I don't understand your opera. I drank with Liu Weihuang in the room and then went to bed separately."
Liu Weihuang nodded naively and said: "Yes, Mr. Roberts and I were drinking. We drank until about nine o'clock in the evening, and then we went back to the room to sleep. At night, I was woken up by Manager Chang, who also searched the room. My feet are shaking now, so
With so many people crammed into one room, the toilet smells terrible.”
"Brother Sangmeng, what are you doing at night?" Li Guolou looked at the timid Brother Sangmeng with a serious face.
"I'm going to the theater." Brother Sangmeng said with his chest raised and his belly raised.
"I didn't see you!" "I didn't look after you either." Zhou Xiaohuan and Jiang Cong said one after the other.
"Handcuff him!" Li Guolou shouted sternly.
Ai Hai stepped forward, with a fierce look on his face, trying to catch the lying Brother Sangmeng.
The people in Chengfu also glared at Brother Sangmeng, scolded him fiercely, and determined that he was the murderer.
"What an injustice! Captain Li, I just ran to the inner house to peek at the little lady taking a bath. I didn't go to the daughter's building to kill someone!" After Brother Sangmeng was handcuffed, he hurriedly shouted out and struggled with his arms to break free of the handcuffs.
.
Cheng Kunyu turned pale and shouted angrily: "Hit me!"
Yesterday, there was a opera in the outer courtyard, but the door of the inner house was unlocked, and the wives and concubines ran out to watch the opera. Only then did the murderer pass through the inner house and enter the daughter's building, causing the death of his daughter Cheng Xiaochun. In the final analysis, Cheng Kunyu himself was not strict in his discipline.
Brother Sangmeng was beaten by several servants, knocked to the ground, and cried: "Captain Li, help me. I really didn't kill anyone, please help me."
Old Man Li said angrily: "I will beat you to death and make you do bad things! I will beat you to death;;;;;;"
Old Man Li's eyes widened with anger, and he also stepped forward and kicked Brother Sangmeng with great flexibility and force. The beating made Brother Sangmeng scream repeatedly, "Ancestor!" "Grandma!" He kept shouting, hoping that the people in Chengfu would show mercy.
.
Yelia tugged on Li Guolou's sleeve, hoping that Li Guolou would show some virtue and bring Brother Sangmeng back from the brink of death, instead of just thinking about saving two maids.
Li Guolou blinked and told Yelia not to cause trouble. Cheng Kunyu already wanted to kill someone, so it was the right thing to let the people in Chengfu vent their anger.
Di Gu walked into the yard, clasped her fists and said, "Captain Li didn't notice."
"Oh;;;;;;" Li Guolou's face twitched, as if he was snickering, and then he quickly became serious.
Seeing that Brother Sangmeng was beaten until he could no longer scream, Li Guolou said: "Okay, don't beat the murderer anymore or he will die laughing."
Cheng Kunyu pointed at Brother Sangmeng lying on the ground and roared: "Captain Li, don't you know that Brother Sangmeng is not a murderer without interrogating him?"
Li Guolou acted as a consultant and ignored Cheng Kunyu's accusation. Instead, he asked: "Old man Li, how old are you and what is your name?"
Beating someone is also strenuous work. Old man Li, who was panting from exhaustion, stopped and said: "Captain Li, my name is Li Cheng, and I am just forty-five years old this year."
"Oh;;;;;Li Cheng, you look old, but you are actually still young." Li Guo looked Li Cheng up and down, and he already had suspicions in his heart. He looked up at the sky again, no matter what other people were thinking.
, Muleng Leng stood in the yard, leaving the others aside.
"Captain Li!" Ai Hai shouted softly from the side, telling him what to do next.
"Oh;;;;;;Deputy Ai, collect all the undried clothes in the yard. There may be blood stains on them. Give me each piece of clothing to look at carefully. Put it in the darkroom and illuminate each piece with an oil lamp.
, Blood stains cannot be washed away, and if you get some bugs, they will smell of blood and the bugs will crawl up." Li Guolou looked at Li Cheng with a smile, the meaning was self-evident.
"Captain Li, what do you mean by this?" Li Cheng blinked his eyes and shouted angrily.
"Skynet is meticulous and meticulous, Li Cheng, don't think that just because someone calls you Old Man Li, you are a good person." Li Guolou squinted at the person, as if to see through what the other person was thinking.
Everyone was in an uproar. They couldn't believe that the honest and honest Li Cheng was the murderer, but they all focused on Li Cheng.
Li Guolou turned around and said: "Master Shangshu, I heard that someone offered you ten thousand taels of silver for your red diamond, but you didn't even sell it, right?"
Cheng Kunyu nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm not short of money. Why do I need ten thousand taels of silver? Red diamonds are priceless treasures. Even if someone offers them one hundred thousand taels, I won't sell them."
Cheng Kunyu just wants to come back and be a real official again. It doesn't matter if the official hat is smaller. He has had enough of the charlatanism. He wants to become a close relative with Prince Li and even give red diamonds as a dowry, just to get back to work.
to the political arena.
Li Guolou said: "But my official heard that someone in the world offered a reward. The reward is ten thousand taels. As long as he gets the red diamond, he is willing to pay. Is that right?"
"Hey! That's what happened, so I was extra careful and never showed the red diamond to anyone. Unexpectedly, people still took risks. I really regret that I shouldn't have given the red diamond to my daughter so early!" Cheng Kunyu
She shed tears, beat her chest and cried.
Li Guolou said: "Master Shangshu, I can responsibly say that this case was committed by someone in your family and has nothing to do with the troupe and these six people."
"Why? Impossible!" Chang Shikuan, the manager, jumped like thunder and shouted loudly. This was not to throw all the dirty water on his head.
Li Guolou said: "Because even if an outsider succeeds in stealing the red diamond, he can't take it out of the Cheng Mansion. Manager Chang, if you guard this place to be weatherproof, will the treasure fly out? So the murderer must
He is from your house."
Cheng Kunyu looked at Li Cheng who was kneeling on the ground to express his love, and said suspiciously: "Captain Li, then why do you think Old Man Li is the murderer?"
Li Guolou said word by word: "Master Shangshu, because only Old Man Li here has the opportunity to be your daughter's friend. He is a flower grower, he looks honest and old, and he can freely enter and leave your inner house and daughter's building.
You don’t mind trimming the flowers and plants and saying a few words to your concubine, right?”
Cheng Kunyu's heart trembled, and he looked at Li Cheng who was kneeling in horror. He stepped forward and kicked him, and angrily said, "Okay, so it's you!"
Li Cheng hugged Cheng Kunyu's feet and cried: "Master, you are wronged. It's not me, it's not me. Don't listen to Capt. Li's nonsense. I have been loyal to my duties in the government for twenty years, and I have never done anything wrong."
Thinking of dividing;;;;;;"
Li Cheng screamed at the top of his lungs, as if he was extremely aggrieved.
Li Guolou sneered and said: "Judging from the crime scene, the deceased Cheng Xiaochun put the murderer into the yard himself. Why did Miss Cheng let the murderer into the yard? It was not because of the affair. Miss Cheng was watching in her daughter's building.
There are no young men around. Ms. Cheng usually sees a few older men doing chores, such as pruning flowers and plants. Ms. Cheng takes people too simply and thinks that everyone around her can be friends, so she and the murderer have been together for a long time.
They became good friends who we could chat with. Miss Cheng was getting married and would no longer be able to see her good friends. During the day, the maid kept a close eye on her and there was a distinction between superior and inferior. She didn’t have the chance to chat more with her good friends, so she just chatted with her good friends.
She agreed to come to her attic to have a chat in the evening, or maybe it was a good friend who proposed it. This is possible. Miss Kecheng did not expect that the world is dangerous, and the reward of 10,000 taels of silver would even force someone to commit suicide. This good friend wanted to
A reward of 10,000 taels was placed on Miss Cheng's head to inflict a fatal blow. Miss Cheng never imagined that she had brought the evil upon herself, and that she would die with a female red face in her hand, and she would never rest in peace."
Li Cheng shouted: "It's unfair. I didn't kill anyone. How can I get in without the key to my daughter's building?"
Li Guolou lowered his head and said with a smile: "Li Cheng, how do you know that the murderer has the key to his daughter's building? Could it be that you were at the scene."
"Oh;;;;;;" Everyone exclaimed, and they all understood. Only the murderer himself knew how the murderer entered the daughter's building.
"I, I, I, I heard what Manager Chang said." Li Chengyou defended himself, gritting his teeth and refusing to admit to the murder and robbery.
"When did I say that! If the policeman didn't find out clearly, would I be talking nonsense?" Chang Shikuan, the manager, roared angrily, wanting to beat Li Cheng to death, but was held back by the policeman beside him.
Li Guolou took out the bamboo hoop from his leather bag. The picture of the mandarin ducks playing in the water was almost completed. Only the two eyes of the mandarin ducks were not embroidered yet. He smiled and said: "Li Cheng, did you remember that Miss Cheng was dying?"
Is it the embroidery picture I showed you? Did you give me a few compliments, or did you just criticize it?"
"Captain Li, you are just making nonsense." Li Cheng didn't bother to look at Li Guolou and turned his head to the side, looking like he would rather die than surrender.
Li Guolou smiled casually and said: "Li Cheng, don't you know that to kill someone, you have to stab the heart, so that you can kill with one knife. If you stab the person in the stomach with a knife, you won't die immediately?"
When there was no response, Li Guolou said to himself: "Li Cheng, you stabbed Miss Cheng in the stomach, and Miss Cheng also left you a souvenir, you know? You can wash away the blood, but this
You still have a gift with you."
"What?" Li Cheng asked involuntarily.
Before everyone could recover, Jelia interrupted and shouted: "Embroidery needle, Miss Cheng inserted the embroidery needle into Li Cheng's braid."
"Ah;;;;;;" Li Cheng couldn't hold it any longer and involuntarily reached out to touch the braid on the back of his head. The two detectives next to him hurriedly grabbed Li Cheng's hands, and Ai Hai touched Li Cheng's braid.
When I touched it, I found an embroidery needle.
"Li Cheng, what else do you have to say?" Ai Hai asked excitedly.
Li Cheng collapsed on the ground and said feebly: "I plead guilty. I killed Miss Cheng. I wanted to get rich and I went crazy. I'm unlucky. The red diamond was not found. Even if you beat me to death, I won't be red."
Drill."
Li Guolou raised his hand and pointed upward, saying: "Li Cheng, did you put those stolen treasures into the crow's nest?"
"Yes!" Li Cheng replied feebly, feeling regretful and regretful. What awaited him would be torture and death.
