The living room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone spied on each other like thieves, thinking they had something in each other's hands.
Li Guolou burst into laughter and said: "Since the criminal is unwilling to take the initiative to speak out, I will expose this conspiracy. The die-hard elements who refuse to repent will eventually reveal their true colors."
Li Guolou paused for a moment, then glanced at everyone, with a smile on his lips, but it made people feel cold. Then he said: "The death of the master of the Wei family, Wei Wenshao, last night was so strange. He died at the door of his bedroom.
, in such a big house, with high walls, many people, and close to the street, what kind of criminal would find such a place to commit crimes? Manba Ye didn't do it back then.
It has been two or three years since he married Xie Xiuzhu, and the day lily has become cold. He is still thinking about killing his love rival Wei Wenshao. Why did he go there earlier? It would be unreasonable to have an affair with his second mistress Xie Xiuzhu.
Xie Xiuzhu knew that Wei Wenshao was coming last night, and Xiaoqin also knew this. So why did Master Manba come in the middle of the night? "
Wei Xiaoliu muttered: "Anyway, I have traveled a lot, so I just came here. I saw it with my own eyes."
In the echo of other people in the Wei family, they all expressed their opinions, that is, Man Yu was obsessed with ghosts and seeking death, and there was no possibility of overturning the verdict.
Li Guolou glanced sideways at Wei Xiaoliu and said: "Wei Xiaoliu, did you really see Man Youyou? If it is true, then you must have seen someone else. Because you told lies, you were
Not in my bedroom, but in the yard, tell me the truth!"
The last threat made Wei Xiaoliu tremble all over. He looked at Xie Xiuzhu opposite, gritted his teeth and said: "No, no, really no. I thought I was really in my room, but I wasn't lying on the bed yet. I won the game of cards."
I can’t sleep without money.”
Li Guolou sighed: "Wei Xiaoliu, you are so dishonest. You still tell lies now. If you know the crime of covering up, you will be sent to the army."
Wei Xiaoliu clenched his hands and placed them on his thighs, lowering his head and saying nothing.
Li Guolou looked at Wei Xiaoliu and couldn't help feeling helpless. This man was destined to be a tragic figure and not worthy of pity.
Li Guolou raised his head and said: "Okay! Since Wei Xiaoliu won't tell me, let me continue to talk about Master Manba. Under what circumstances is it most reasonable for Master Manba to come in the middle of the night?" After a short pause, he said
: "That means someone deliberately told Man Youli to come at that time and steal incense and jade. How many people can bear it? Xiaoqin, do you think so?"
Xiaoqin's face turned pale and she said anxiously: "Xiao Lizi, you can't slander me. How can you take Man Youli's lies seriously? I definitely didn't ask Man Youli to come to the Wei Mansion at night. Everything he said was all lies. They were all lies.
Yes! Second Grandma, you have to believe me."
Li Guolou did not listen to Xiaoqin's complaint. Instead, he said to Xie Xiuzhu: "Second Grandma, don't you think it's strange? You were born as a singer and have long been accustomed to going to bed late and getting up late. Last night you heard that your husband Wei Wen
Shao Yao came, dressed up nicely and waited for him to come back. Why do you feel sleepy suddenly? Is this the same as your usual habits? "
Xie Xiuzhu is also an old Jianghu. After hearing this, she couldn't help but push Xiaoqin's hands holding her arms away. She looked up at Li Guolou and said, "I don't usually go to bed so early. I don't know what happened last night."
After watching them play a few decks of cards, I dozed off. Then I went back to the bedroom and lay down for a while, hoping to wait for the master to come back. I didn't expect to wake up until midnight. Looking back now, it's really strange.
"
Li Guolou replied: "Actually, this is also easy to explain. Someone put medicine in your tea. This medicine is a tranquilizer used by Westerners. The amount is not large, and you won't feel strange if you put it in the tea.
.Besides, Mistress, you like to drink chrysanthemum tea, and if someone adds a little more sugar, you won’t even mention it.”
Xie Xiuzhu's face suddenly changed, she stood up, pointed at Xiaoqin and cursed, "It's you! It was you who killed me. I blamed you for putting too much sugar in your tea last night! You bitch, how dare you
You are a scoundrel who plotted to kill the master. Why didn’t I see that you were such a person..."
Xie Xiuzhu's ability to scold the street shocked everyone. He spat obscenities at Xiaoqin and even wanted to hit Xiaoqin. However, Ma Dequan grabbed both of Xie Xiuzhu's arms and finally managed to pull Xie Xiuzhu back.
Press on the chair.
And Xiaoqin knelt down on the wooden floor, desperately denying that she had ever done such a thing, kowtowing and crying: "Second Grandma, I definitely did not kill the master, I am not this kind of person. They are all travels."
Colluding with Xiao Lizi to frame me, Master, the Second Grandma is so kind to me, I am a human being, how could I do something worse than a pig or a dog?"
Li Guolou waited for Xiaoqin to finish her defense and said, "Xiaoqin, among the people here, I originally thought that Xie Xiuzhu was the best at pretending, but it turns out it's you. Why did you betray your second mistress? It's because someone promised to give you peace."
His wife's position, and you are already having an affair with him, right? Xu Xiaohu, why are you silent and pretending to be deaf and dumb, so that you can get away with it? "
Xu Xiaohu, who was sitting with his head bowed, finally raised his head and said: "Xiao Qin, don't be afraid, Xiao Lizi is joking. The murderers have been caught and have nothing to do with us. Man Youyang is now a mad dog.
I will bite anyone who I dare to say, Master Bao is the blue sky and will not let us be unfairly wronged."
Xu Xiaohu was really calm and composed. With one sentence, Xiaoqin, who was kneeling on the ground, stopped arguing and slowly stood up. Her eyes also became firm, as if she had the integrity to stand out from the mud.
Li Guolou was applauding Xu Xiaohu in his heart, as he thought exactly the same. Xu Xiaohu was a die-hard member. Without evidence, it was impossible to make this person bow his head and plead guilty. Xu Xiaohu also encouraged Xiaoqin, and immediately
The momentum of being at a disadvantage was restored. Now Xu Xiaohu and Xiaoqin would not admit to the crime of compromising, let alone the serious crime of killing their master Wei Wenshao, even if they were asked to pick up sticks and hit the board.
Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Okay! Since neither of you admits guilt, let me continue to make it up and see if the result is the same as what I said?"
Na Bazi, who was sitting on the couch, couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted: "Little Lizi, I believe you, just keep talking."
Li Guolou didn't look back and was a little blushing. He pretended to be a public servant and brought his friends in to see the murder scene. After all, he was not an upright person.
Li Guolou said: "Actually, someone has been planning this case for a long time and has been waiting for this opportunity. First, it started with someone not closing the door, as if he was lazy, but in fact he was hiding a murderous intention. Then the opportunity came, and someone knew what Wei Wenshao was.
When will you return home? Probably before twelve o'clock in the evening, I said Western time, do you all understand?"
Ai Hai listened carefully and said: "Xiao Lizi, you said it very well, we all understand it."
Li Guolou was very satisfied with the atmosphere around him and continued: "Then someone found Man Youyang and asked him to come to the Wei Mansion at one o'clock in the middle of the night. He also told Man Youyang that the door of the south room of the second mistress was not locked. Usually the second mistress remembers
I am grateful for Master Manba's kindness and am ready to repay the favor. How could a man like Master Manba, who is the best, let go of this opportunity? Of course he will go to the appointment on time. Xu Xiaohu, you are always so accurate in judging people, right?"
Xu Xiaohu lowered his head and remained silent. It was worse than silence. Li Guolou could say whatever he wanted. There was no evidence. In the end, he would still win.
Li Guolou watched Xu Xiaohu's every move and praised: "Xu Xiaohu, I didn't misjudge you at all. You are really so scheming. You have plotted against everyone in the Wei family. You are plotting to seize the Wei family's property.
If you killed your master with your own hands, you would have been skinned in the previous court, so if you are sentenced to be chopped in half, you are not being treated badly."
Everyone was talking and whispering to each other. Xu Xiaohu finally couldn't help it and shouted: "It's nonsense. Even if you kill me, I won't admit it."
Li Guolou showed his sarcasm and said: "Why did grandma go back to her parents' house? Could it be that she is happy? Congratulations, Xu Xiaohu, you are now a father."
Now everyone could no longer sit still. They all stood up and shouted in an uproar. Their eyes focused on Xu Xiaohu, and the murderer's conspiracy was undoubtedly revealed.
Xu Xiaohu wanted to take out the handkerchief from his sleeve, but couldn't find it. He was so anxious that he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.
He hurriedly defended: "How do I know why the eldest grandma returned to her parents' home? What happened next is even more ridiculous. Even if you beat me to death, I have never done such a shameful thing."
Li Guolou pressed his hands down, asked everyone to sit down, and said: "Grandma is not here, so I won't talk about her for now. I will go on to talk about the case. There is something weird tonight, and that is why Xiaoqin was jumping around for several times.
When I ran to the mahjong room to the east for the first time, who would believe that Xiaoqin was interested in Xu Biao? Even the stupid Wei Xiaoqi knew that Xiaoqin had a deeper meaning. Xiaoqin kept entering the mahjong room, asking Xu Biao
Hu sent a message to Xu Xiaohu and told Xu Xiaohu when Wei Wenshao would enter the house. Then before about twelve o'clock, Xiaoqin entered the mahjong room again. That was to tell Xu Xiaohu that she had seen someone outside the door of Wei's house.
Wei Wenshao came back. Then Xu Xiaohu rushed out immediately, saying he had a stomachache, and asked Xu Biao to play cards in his place. What happens next, Xu Xiaohu, do you want me to continue making it up?"
Xu Xiaohu said in a hoarse voice: "I'm too lazy to explain, so I will redress my grievances directly to Mr. Bao. Xiao Lizi, you are the murderer. If the thief calls for catching the thief, the truth will eventually come out, and you will be reviled by the world."
Li Guolou looked at Xu Xiaohu. This unrepentant murderer had reached the end of his rope. Everyone already believed his reasoning about the case. Next, he would give the murderer a fatal blow, because Xu Xiaohu had a fatal flaw that he
