Chapter 23 The adults are wise!(2/3)
Mo Ziming nodded, then turned his head and ordered the two guards: "You two are waiting outside first."
"Yes, sir!"
When he entered the inner yard, Zhu Lianhong made tea with someone and asked carefully: "I wonder which strange case Mr. Mo mentioned?"
"Luo Erzhuang!"
"So that's the case. I think it's that tricky woman...ah, Luo's complaints were alarmed.
Lord, this is the case. According to my understanding, Luo and his brother have been dependent on each other since childhood and have a deep relationship.
His brother unfortunately died in a fire. Luo could not bear the blow and insisted that his brother was murdered, so he ran to the county government office several times to complain.
This official personally led someone to the on-site inspection and confirmed that Luo Erzhuang died of an accidental fire, but Luo did not believe it and insisted on..."
Before Zhu Lianhong could finish his words, Mo Ziming waved his hand and interrupted: "Mr. Zhu, it's not a fault for Luo's not to believe this matter, and even the official does not believe it."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Lianhong's face changed in surprise: "I don't know... I don't know what the lord said?"
"I have been to the scene and can confirm that the fire was caused by man.
This official is now in his personal capacity for Luo’s letter of letter, asking for a thorough investigation of the case and to return the truth.”
"Sir, this...this..."
"What? Lord doesn't want to retrial? That official sent someone to the capital to sue Luo to Beijing for a lawsuit?"
As soon as these words were said, Zhu Lianhong was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.
Others say this may be a threat, but the meaning of it will be different when Mo Ziming says it.
"No, no, Lord Mo, the next official will re-examination, and re-examination will be..."
"Very good, then please take someone to the scene of the incident with me."
Soon after, the group came to the fire again.
This time, many people who watched the fun came with us.
Although Zhu Lianhong didn't really believe that Mo Ziming could see anything from the scene, for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, feeling something would happen...
"Sir Zhu, now I will tell you why I don't believe that Luo Erzhuang died of an accidental fire.
First of all, judging from the traces of burning, the fire is ignited from outside.
If it is ignited from the house, the direction of the fire should spread around.
But now it is obviously not…”
While speaking, Mo Ziming walked to the back of the original house and raised his hand and pointed: "This is the place where the fire first started.
This official can conclude that someone set a fire here.
The walls here were covered with grass and soon collapsed, causing the entire room to tilt towards it..."
After his explanation, the people watching nearby suddenly realized.
From the scene, the ash soil on which Mo Ziming stood was obviously thicker, which was enough to prove that the house did collapse inclined towards that side.
Zhu Lianhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a slight sense: "What the lord said is reasonable, but this cannot prove that someone deliberately set fire. Perhaps it was the fire caused by Erzhuang accidentally?"
"Haha, what Mr. Zhu said is reasonable, and there is indeed that possibility.
But I don’t just make a reason for this…”
While speaking, he moved to the middle of the ruins and stepped gently: "Sir Zhu, was Luo Erzhuang's body here?"
"This... seems to be..."
"Don't say anything, right?"
At this time, a yamen runner stepped forward and replied, "I really am there when I say something to you, and the villain is there that day."
"Okay, come here, clean up the here and dig the scorched earth."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, someone cleaned up the ruins.
Then, Mo Ziming used a small shovel to dig down slowly, dig out some mud and spread it out.
"My Lord, please take a closer look, what's the difference between this mud?"
"This..." Zhu Lianhong looked left and right, then shook his head: "Please forgive me for being stupid in your eyes, so I can't see any difference."
"Then I will tell you that the soil is mixed with a lot of dry blood powder, so the color is deep and shallow.
This blood was Luo Erzhuang's blood seeping into the ground.
From this, I can conclude that he was murdered first, and the murderer deliberately created a fire scene in order to cover up his crime."
"This... sir, is this inference a little bit..."
"Do you want to say that this official is a bit unreasonable? Come and prepare some wine and two more white bowls."
"Yes, sir."
After the wine and white bowl were brought, Mo Ziming poured some wine into the bowl, then put some of the soil he had just dug in, and stirred for a while.
Another white bowl was soaked as usual, but it was filled with another digging of soil.
At the beginning, the wine in the two white bowls was extremely turbid, like mud.
After the soil sinks to the bottom, the difference comes out.
One bowl begins to become clear, while the other bowl appears a dark red color.
"Oh, Lord Mo, Bei Zhi understands that this bowl is filled with blood powder and isn't it?"
The guard captain finally guessed Mo Ziming's intention.
"Not bad!" Mo Ziming smiled and nodded, then glanced at Zhu Lianhong and said, "Sir Zhu, can you explain where the blood from this underground comes from?"
"This... maybe, maybe Luo Erzhuang panicked and fell... and fell..."
Mo Ziming couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, Lord Zhu has a lot of imagination. This is mud, even if he falls, he won't shed so much blood, right?
Importantly, this is the location of the main hall.
The fire was in the middle of the night. Shouldn’t Luo Erzhuang be sleeping? What did he run to the main hall to do?”
"Or... maybe he can't sleep, go drink...drink water..."
"Can't sleep? Drink water? Lord Zhu, according to you, Luo Erzhuang was awake when the fire broke out. He couldn't run out of such a small house?"
"this……"
Zhu Lianman kept wiping cold sweat, obviously because he was exhausted.
"Master, Master, it's not good, something happened to the young master..."
Suddenly, a servant stumbled over and shouted at Zhu Lianhai.
Zhu Lianhai was startled and asked anxiously: "What's going on? What's wrong with Haier?"
"Young Master... He was stabbed and his life was in danger..."
"Haier~"
Zhu Lianhai cried out sadly, his eyes turned dark and he fainted on the spot.
"Master, Master..."
"Okay, your master is fine, please send him back first."
After the county government left, the guard team leader couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Sir, why is it so coincidental? Zhu Hai wouldn't have any trouble early or late, but something happened at this time?"
"It's okay, let's go over and see the situation."
When I arrived at the county government, I found out that Zhu Hai was stabbed in the chest and abdomen, but it did not hurt the vital points, and the wound was not deep.
But this kid was too frightened and still feels a little dazed.
The person who assassinated him turned out to be Mo.
Now, Mo has been jailed.
After hearing this news, Luo Shi looked surprised: "How could it be? Why could it be her... Could it be that I blamed her wrongly?"
Because she always suspected that Mo and Zhu Hai had a couple, so she planned to murder her husband.
But now it seems that things are not that simple.
"It's interesting." Mo Ziming murmured to himself, and then changed: "Hurry, go to the prison quickly and be careful that they will silence them."
Fortunately, I went there in time.
When the three of them rushed to the prison, Mo was beaten to death.
Seeing this, Mo Ziming ordered the two guards with a gloomy face: "You two go outside and guard, no one is allowed to enter, including Lord Zhu."
"Abide by the order!"
The two guards left after they were ordered.
