Chapter 104： Have a clear conscience

With everyone watching, Miss Li couldn't help hiding behind Gongzi Li.

Li Gongzi was a little displeased: "My lord, no matter who the murderer is, it has absolutely nothing to do with our brothers and sisters. My sister is timid, so don't scare her."

The county lieutenant looked at Li Gongzi, and suddenly smiled: "This official has handled the case for many years, but he has an experience. A murder case occurred, but anyone who is connected with this case will never be completely unrelated. I hope Li Gongzi and Miss Li will cooperate."

"It was said that someone was spreading the letter randomly, otherwise how could we get involved!"

"But there are so many good men and women who come to Lingwu Temple to offer incense, why do they send letters to Li's house?" The county lieutenant no longer paid attention to Li Gongzi, but stared at the girl Li hiding behind, "Miss Li, you know The deceased Liu Sheng, right?"

Miss Li shivered all over, her face pale.

"My lord, what do you mean by this? How could the sister-in-law know the deceased!" Li Gongzi increased his tone to express his dissatisfaction.

Although the folk customs are open, it’s nothing new for the little ladies in towns like Qingniu Town and Dayang Town who haven’t come out of the pavilion to date a favorite man. Even more people will open one eye and close one eye, but it involves It is not easy to see a human homicide case when it is put on the bright side and questioned by an official in front of so many people.

The county lieutenant didn't care about Li Gongzi's attitude, and smiled slightly: "Miss Li, I want to hear what you say."

Miss Li bit her lips, her face pale, her dry lips trembling constantly, seeming to struggle very much.

"My lord, my sister is just a girl, and she's already very scared when she bumps into this kind of thing. Don't ask her anymore!"

The county lieutenant finally calmed down and raised his hand to Jiang Si: "This little lady is also a girl, why is she so peaceful?"

He was asking this question in a rhetorical way, so as to block Li Gongzi's mouth. He didn't expect that the accused girl smiled softly and said in a calm tone: "Because you have a clear conscience. Don't do bad things in the day, knock on the door in the middle of the night and don't be surprised. Xiao The woman has no guilty conscience. She only feels the victim is pitiful when she encounters such a thing. How can she feel scared?"

"Well said!" Jiang Zhan felt his younger sister spoke quickly, and said with his palm.

Yu Jin bent his lips to hold back a smile, his gaze fell on the girl's face and reluctantly moved away.

The county lieutenant was stunned, took a serious look at Jiang Si, and praised: "The girl is really good."

Ahem, I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to meet such a sturdy little girl today, but it would block the mouth of Li's child.

The little girls said so, and if the Li family's children stopped questioning, it would be a guilty conscience.

Sure enough, after Jiang Si said that, Young Master Li opened her mouth for a long time and couldn't speak, but Miss Li finally opened her mouth after her face changed: "The little girl...does know Master Liu..."

Seeing the county lieutenant listen carefully, she bit her lip and explained: "I just know..."

"I don't know how Miss Li met?" The county lieutenant knew the truth about not rushing, and his tone remained calm.

"I often come to Lingwu Temple to stay for a while, and sometimes I meet Master Liu in the temple, and I gradually get to know..." Miss Li glanced at the county lieutenant in a panic, and said hurriedly, "We are not familiar!"

The county lieutenant looked at Xuanci and other monks: "Does Liu Sheng often come to Lingwu Temple?"

Zhike monk said: "Sometimes I will stay for a few days."

"Since Liu Sheng is from Qingniu Town, why would he still stay in the temple?"

The Zhike monk couldn't help looking at Xuanci.

Xuan Ci explained: "Some pilgrims like to be clean in the temple, and others like to taste the soup in the temple, so the people in this town sometimes stay for a while."

When he heard the word "caigen", not only Jiang Zhan's face turned pale, but the expressions of several pilgrims who stayed in the hotel were even more tragic.

"My lord, Hausuo has already been preliminarily checked."

"Call in."

Not long after Wu Zuo walked in: "I have seen an adult."

The county lieutenant nodded and signaled that he could speak.

Wasaku was obviously familiar with this kind of scene and did not look at other people. He said concisely: "The deceased's eyes protruded, his neck was marked with obvious scratches, and the stones were entangled behind his back. It was preliminarily determined that the corpse was tied to the stone after being strangled to death. The murderer should be a man."

"How to determine it is a man?"

Hao replied: "The nails of the deceased were broken and he had obviously struggled fiercely. It is difficult for a woman to have this physical strength if he can choke a young man like the deceased alive and tie his body to a stone."

"What about the time of death?"

"Probably between yesterday afternoon and unitary hour."

When Jiang Zhan heard the county lieutenant ask about the time of death, he was a little nervous and couldn't help smiling when he heard the answer.

Fortunately, this county lieutenant and Wu Zuo are not silly.

"Okay, you go and check again."

Hao Zuo retreated.

The county lieutenant glanced over everyone one by one, and there was no clue on the face: "Since the time of death is roughly determined, Jiang Er can rule out the suspicion for the time being -"

Sihai couldn't help interrupting the county lieutenant's words: "Maybe Jiang Er had been here yesterday. There are so many pilgrims who come to Lingwu Temple every day, and it's hard to be found if he gets involved in it."

Jiang Zhan sneered: "Nonsense, we only came to Qingniu Town yesterday, as evidenced by the inn shopkeeper and buddy. By the way, on the way to Qingniu Town yesterday, there was a melon shed about ten miles away from Qingniu Town. We once asked a melon farmer to buy a few melons. If adults are in doubt, they can all be checked."

The county lieutenant nodded and looked at the monks and said: "A few of them are walking along, and they will definitely leave traces along the way. These will be known by inspection. The officer will cast Jiang Er's suspicion temporarily, and the most important thing is that he can't find his motives temporarily. , And the motive is the key to the murder. Moreover, the official has observed that it is more hidden from the guest room in the temple to the back mountain. It is very difficult for pilgrims without accommodation to go to the back mountain without being noticed by the people in the temple."

"Then who is the murderer?" Xuan Ci asked solemnly.

"According to the clues we have so far, the murderer must be familiar with Houshan, then—" the county lieutenant paused, "the monks in the temple or the pilgrims who stay overnight are most likely."

"Amitabha Buddha, I hope that the adults will investigate carefully and return the monks in my temple to be innocent." Xuanci folded his hands together.

"This is natural. The officer now intends to inquire separately and ask Master Xuanci to arrange a room." The county lieutenant smiled at Jiang Zhan and the others. "A few can go to rest first. If something happens, the officer will send someone. Call you."

The separate room was quickly vacated, Jiang Si and his group were standing on the promenade, and no one was drowsy at this time.

"Sister Si, Brother Yu Qi, you see, the first person summoned was actually a pilgrim who stayed overnight." Jiang Zhan, who got rid of the suspicion, was relaxed and looked lively.

Yu Jin smiled: "We have all been asked once, and it's time to ask these pilgrims. But this adult is really interesting. Let everyone understand the basic situation first, and then ask the details separately, maybe it will be rewarding."

He touched his chin lightly as he said, and looked at Jiang Si: "I have a question and I am going to ask the young man who is staying in Li, together?
