Li Guolou looked at the murder weapon on the table, the "ear-shaped knife" and the "hemp rope" used to hang the beam. They were ordinary goods and could be found everywhere on the stalls outside. He thought about scaring the murderer, but what if the murderer didn't fall for the trick?
.Give him a mouse and stay still, not to return empty-handed.
Jin Erzi was working hard to record the confessions of the people in the high house, but Li Guolou looked at the first evidence presented in court on the table, and suddenly an idea came to him. He thought of a strategy to lure the snake out of its hole, but it only took one person to cooperate. This talent
He is the key to solving the case.
"Executive officer, please come in." Li Guolou walked to the door and waved. The first thing he asked was Gao Qiuyu, who was the key to solving the case.
There were two people alone in the room. Gao Qiu Yu had a hunched body. He was in his sixties. He was not sad about the suicide of his maid Aihua. The grief during this period made him much older.
Li Guolou got straight to the point and said: "The high-ranking officials are sorry for the change. To be honest, we came here first because the criminal in the prison, Gu Shuimo, recanted his confession and did not admit to killing anyone. He only admitted that he had been at the scene of the crime and was here to make peace with him.
Your daughter was on a date, but she saw the body on the ground. She was afraid of taking responsibility and ran away from the scene of the crime. The second thing is that we are very suspicious of the suicide of the maid Aihua. A young person should not commit suicide. I heard that Gao Yuanwai
He is a merciful person. From the time of the incident to the time when the maid Aihua hanged herself, she was not beaten at all."
"How can I explain this to my daughter? Didn't this murderer confess everything? Captain Li, please make a price." Gao Qiuyu thought that Li Guolou's group was here to extort money, so he went to his house to get money.
Here comes the benefit.
Li Guolou said awkwardly: "Executive officer, please don't get me wrong. We are not here to ask you for money. There is something really suspicious about this case. Originally, I was here to interrogate maid Aihua, but I didn't expect that I would be late.
One step. Unfortunately, I have not seen the scene of Aihua's suicide. Whatever I say now is false. I am here to find out the troubles in Gao Yuanwai's family. If the criminal Gao Yuanwai is really still hiding in your home, wouldn't you also be in danger?
"
Gao Qiuyu listened to the last sentence. The older people get, the more afraid of death they are. People in their sixties still want to live a long life, especially the rich. The only daughter in the house is gone, and there are still two concubines.
.
"Captain Li, what should I do?" Gao Qiuyu was anxious, and the action of rubbing his hands showed his impatience.
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Foreign officials, I will teach you two tricks. The first is to pretend to be weak. As long as you look like you can't recover, no one will bother you. Even if the people around you are criminals,
I will also wait for you to die naturally."
Gao Qiuyu had a strange look on his face and thought of going somewhere else. Li Guolou calmly continued: "This second move is Guan Jian. As long as Gao Yuanwai can do it, I guarantee that the stolen property your daughter has with her can be recovered."
.”
"Captain Li, please speak!" Gao Qiuyu was much more confident. The jewelry and gold and silver worn by his daughter Gao Xiuxiu were valuable, and of course he wanted to get them back.
Li Guolou lowered his voice and said: "Executive officer, after we leave, you will announce that you will punish those who made their own decisions this time. No matter they are housekeepers, guards, or those sleeping in the house, they will not be spared. From now on
Half of the salary and monthly silver will be deducted until your daughter's memorial day. I believe that within a month or two, the person who stole your daughter's property will use the gold and silver. I will send my men to lurk in Gaojiazhuang.
, whoever spends money lavishly, I will definitely catch him. Anyway, even if the criminal is Gu Shuimo, he will have to wait until the end of the autumn to be executed. I think there has been no loss to Gao Yuanwai in the past few months, and the future troubles will not be eliminated. Gao Yuanwai wants to live a happy life.
It’s impossible even in years.”
"Yeah;;;;;;Thank you very much, Captain Li, for speaking up. I know what to do." Gao Qiuyu nodded while stroking his beard, appreciating Li Guolou's idea.
Gao Qiuyu walked out of the room dejectedly. He looked very old, with sadness engraved on his face. Who could tell what he was thinking deep down? A cunning man must have life experience. Gao Qiuyu was in Gaojiazhuang
Being a good person and living a life of indifference is of course something you do when you are older. When you were young, you were a great businessman in Gaoqiu Yu. The prerequisite for becoming a great businessman is to have done harm to others and benefited yourself at the expense of others.
"Gao Xin'an, come in." Li Guolou went about his routine and asked the manager of the Gao Mansion. The manager of a large family is Guan Jian. If he doesn't use it well, he will kill his master. Regardless of whether Gao Xin'an is guilty or not, he can be sentenced to death.
Manslaughter is an accomplice.
Gao Xin'an is in her forties, over 1.8 meters tall, with a fat figure and a chubby face without a beard. She is used to pampering and is a smiling and kind-hearted butler.
"Gao Xin'an, do you understand your guilt?" Li Guolou did not give Gao Xin'an a good look and directly displayed the majesty of a superior officer.
"You know your crime!" Gao Xin'an was not as high-spirited as when she entered the mansion just now. "Plop!" she knelt down in front of Li Guolou.
Li Guolou said: "It's good to know, Gao Xin'an, as the general manager of a government, the senior officials are so merciful and don't punish you. How can you get away with it by yourself? Do you have to go to the lobby to get the board?"
Gao Xin'an prostrated on the ground and cried: "What Chief Li taught me is that I will get twenty sticks for myself later and I will never dare to lie."
"What do you think you are so good at? You even hang oil lamps! Who taught you this trick of leading the way for murderers?" Li Guolou has a deep memory of this trick. This is also the time when Gu Shuimo, a young scholar, entered the unfamiliar world.
There is no point in breaking into a high-rise mansion.
"This..." Gao Xin'an paused for a moment, looked up at Li Guolou, and said: "It's the young master Gao Shengguan. He was very excited that day. I even drank with him. Everything I did was the young master's fault.
idea.”
"Oh;;;;;;when?" Li Guolou did not look at Gao Xin'an's face, and the tea cup in his hand did not move at all.
Gao Xin'an said: "It was noon when the lady came back. Later, the young master Gao Shengguan got drunk and didn't eat dinner."
Li Guolou glanced deeply at Gao Xin'an. This slave was suspecting the young master Gao Shengguan of murder. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was telling him who he should suspect?
"Hmm;;;;;;I heard that Young Master Gao Shengguan's monthly salary is one to two to eight hundred yuan, which is not even half of yours, right?" Li Guolou said calmly.
"Yes!" Gao Xin'an lowered his head so that Li Guolou could not see the expression on his face. The slaves would also do tricks. Unfortunately, no one asked him who he suspected killed Miss Gao Xiuxiu. Now a police officer asked him
, just deliberately revealed some situations.
Li Guolou smiled casually and said: "Gao Xin'an, do you know who Maid Aihua's lover is? Can you tell me?"
"Well, I don't dare to tell you nonsense. When Gao Shengguan and I were drinking, he once boasted that he had secretly eaten two maids in the inner house. However, I don't dare to tell nonsense whether maid Aihua has slept with him."
Gao Xin'an once again tricked the young master Gao Shengguan, because he had two maids, so he asked Li Guolou to find them by himself.
Li Guolou said: "Open your hands and let me see?" He wanted to see if there were any wounds on Gao Xin'an's hands? He used a rope to strangle someone to death. If he used too much force on his palms, it would be easy to break the skin of his hands. This
It's because people like the manager and young master don't do physical work and have no calluses on their hands.
"My wife slapped my palms." Gao Xin'an spread out his two palms and looked at Li Guolou timidly. His two palms were beaten by an iron ruler and were so scarred that it was difficult to tell them apart.
"Oh;;;;;;how many people have been beaten?" Li Guolou was annoyed. It was such a coincidence that one of the murderer's loopholes was blocked.
Gao Xin'an lowered his head and said: "Everyone on duty that night was beaten. I was beaten the hardest. I even had to be fed a few days ago."
Li Guolou asked: "The Xiulou should have been locked after the incident. How could the maid Aihua be hanged here?"
Gao Xin'an shook his head like a boogie drum and said: "Captain Li, I didn't know this. Everyone is walking around the embroidery building these days. Who would pay attention to this place? I couldn't find Aihua the next day.
Only then did I find this place, and found Aihua hanging in the air. I asked the guards not to touch the scene and reported it directly to the official. Aihua was a prostitute, so this was her home, so her body was placed in the living room.
Let her receive incense and be buried after seven years of separation. The master does not agree to bury Aihua next to the lady's grave, and wants to be buried directly in the cemetery of Gaojiazhuang."
Rich families have family graves, and farmers who have land will bury them in their own land. There are also special cemeteries in rural areas for people who have passed away in the village. People without land have special cemeteries for burial, and they have to spend money to buy a cemetery and a tombstone.
, without money or land, they were burned in the corpse field. The people of the Qing Dynasty paid attention to the burial, and would give the deceased a resting place as long as there were conditions. Therefore, after a country has been established for a long time, the land will become less and less. Among them are
One key point is that farmland is slowly being encroached and turned into graveyards. It is incomplete and untrue to say that the annexation of land by the rich and nobles has resulted in a decrease in land.
Therefore, the first decisive measure during the founding of the People's Republic of China was to fill up the graveyards. This cycle has been repeated from ancient times to the present, without exception. This means that during the founding of the People's Republic of China, the measured farmland was the most, and then the national land decreased.
Gao Xin'an means that the deceased Aihua can only be buried in the cemetery of Gaojiazhuang and cannot be buried in the cemetery of the Gaoqiu Yu family. He is a bit grievance for the deceased Aihua, thinking that the deceased Aihua was buried for Miss Gao Xiuxiu, which belongs to
A loyal servant deserves the honor of being buried next to Miss Gao Xiuxiu. From this point of view, Li Guolou has temporarily excluded Gao Xin'an from the list of suspects.
"Well; Gao Xin'an, are you good at talking? Are you related to Gao Yuanwai?"
"Hehe! Captain Li, in our Gaojiazhuang, people named Gao are all related, so what can we do?" Gao Xinxin understood and immediately defended himself.
When he met a smart man, Xiao Jiujiu was very calculating and his words were impeccable. Li Guolou couldn't catch Gao Xin'an and said helplessly: "I like to talk to you. Let's talk again if we have a chance in the future."
"Tie!" Gao Xin'an knelt down to the ninth-rank official Li Guolou, bowed and walked backwards out of the living room. When he reached the fifth step, he knew that there was a threshold behind him, so he lifted up his clothes and stepped out, doing it skillfully and in one go.
If Gao Xin'an is a murderer, he can kill without leaving any trace in the Gao family mansion, and he will also have a chance to get the inheritance of Gao Yuanwai. Li Guolou wrote down Gao Xin'an's words and deeds in a notebook, and looked at the pocket watch on the table. Today
Since I couldn't go back, I started talking to the people in the high house. Anyone who didn't have time to witness the crime at the time had to be questioned. It seems that the policeman and the criminal win more and lose less, but who can know the hardships involved?
.
"Gao Shengguan, you can come in!" Li Guolou raised his voice and squinted at the door. The biggest suspect was this person. The scholar who committed the crime was too smart. When knowledge and crime are combined, they want to find the loopholes of the criminal.
The difficulty is even more difficult. Fortunately, this scholar has loopholes in himself. A person who likes to hunt for wild food has no money left to go out for fun. How many days can he endure it?
Li Guolou kept his mouth shut, and sat upright with his official dignity, looking at Gao Shengguan who was kneeling. In Gao Shengguan, Li Guolou seemed to see his own shadow. The two were the same kind of people, and they would do anything for wealth and status.
, both of them can do despicable and sinister things.
Li Guolou couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile on his face: "Sit down!"
