Chapter 72: Kill the game!
The prefect Li Wuya slapped the arbor and said aloud: "Wife, who is your surname? Who is your husband?"
The woman said, "My husband is a runner of the government office, named Li Er, and I am his wife Luo."
The prefect Li Wuya said: "When did you find out that your husband died?"
The woman said, "About an hour and a half ago, I went to deliver food to my husband and found that he had died tragically on the bed and his neck was broken. So I quickly came to report to the official."
The prefect Li Wuya ordered: "Carry up the body."
A moment later, the body was carried up in a coffin.
When everyone lifted the white cloth, they saw that it was indeed Li Er, a yamen runner.
His eyes were wide open and there were bruises on his neck, and he had already died tragically.
However, some people were slightly surprised. At this time, shouldn’t the corpse be carried in with a door panel or stretcher? Why is it a coffin?
The prefect Li Wuya asked, "Class Luo, are you sure this corpse is your husband Li Er?"
Mrs. Luo took a look and nodded, "Yes, he is my husband Li Er."
Others present also nodded and said, "That's right, this is Li Er, the yamen runner of the government office. Many of us know him."
The prefect Li Wuya said: "Do you say Shen Wuque murdered your husband and murdered your father-in-law? Is there any evidence?"
Mr. Luo took out a piece of paper and said, "There is evidence, this is the suicide note written by my husband."
The yamen runner took the suicide note and handed it to the prefect Li Wuya.
When I opened it, I saw it, and it was said: Outside the examination room, I asked Shen Wuque to take off his clothes and check it out. He said that I was humiliating him and threatening to kill my whole family. Then, my father drowned in the cesspool. If I die, it would be that Shen Wuque killed him.
Several staff members stepped forward to check the handwriting on the suicide note, and finally confirmed that this was Li Er's handwriting.
That's right, this suicide note is true and not forged.
Because Li Er was indeed worried that Shen Wuque would kill him, he prepared a suicide note in advance so that he would not die inexplicably.
Luo cried, "After my father-in-law drowned in the cesspool, my husband was very scared and said that Shen Wuque was coming to kill him, so he didn't dare to live at home, but lived in a house outside. He also told me many times that Shen Wuque wanted to kill him and our whole family."
Then, Luo suddenly shouted: "Master Qingtian, my son is gone. It must have been arrested by Shen Wuque. He is so cruel that he doesn't even let the child go. Master, help me."
The prefect Li Wuya said slowly: "Luo, this suicide note cannot be used as evidence, it can only be said to be your husband's conjecture."
Luo said, "On the way to deliver food to my husband, I met someone who seemed to leave from the direction of my husband's residence. I was very scared at the time and had an ominous premonition in my heart. As a result, I delivered food to my husband's room and found that he was indeed killed."
"I remember this man, very thin and looked scary. He was covered in his face that night, but I still recognized him walking and his figure because he was too thin. He had appeared near my house before, the day before my father-in-law drowned in the cesspool, I remembered his face, a gap on his lips, and the ring finger on his right hand was shorter."
Suddenly, the coroner said, "Sir, the handprints on Li Er's neck and the part of his ring finger are indeed shorter."
As he said this, the coroner quickly glanced at Wuque.
It was obviously a rough coroner, but his eyes were so bright.
Hearing the coroner's words, everyone couldn't help but look at the corpse's neck and found that it was indeed the case.
The prefect Li Wuya said: "The ring finger of his right hand is shorter. How can you see clearly and remember clearly when you are in a panic?"
Luo said: "The day before my father-in-law was killed, he appeared around our house without a mask. Because the wound on his lips was too conspicuous, he could instinctively cover it with his right hand, so I saw that his ring finger was shorter.
The prefect Li Wuya said: "I asked the painter to paint. Can you describe the person's appearance?"
Luo said: "Yes, because he looks so special, I will never forget it even if I die."
Next, Luo described the appearance of the suspect murderer in public, and the painter kept adjusting his paintings.
After two quarters of an hour, the portrait was finished.
"Class Luo, does the suspect murderer you met look like in the portrait?" asked the prefect Li Wuya.
"Yes, that's it, there is a very obvious scar on your lips, and I'll never forget it." Luo Shi said sternly: "I have had nightmares several times in succession and dreamed of this person. Before my father-in-law was killed, he appeared around our house. On the night when my husband was killed, he also appeared near my husband's residence."
The prefect Li Wuya took the portrait and showed it to everyone.
"Does anyone recognize this person?" asked the prefect.
Many people know this person, Shen Ying, the confidant warrior master of the Shen Gong family.
She is as thin as a shadow, and has a particularly obvious cleft scar on her lips.
This time Shen Wuque came to take the big exam in the school city, and Shen Ying was the leader of the guard.
The prefect looked at Shen Wuque and said coldly: "Shen Wuque, do you recognize such a person?"
Wuque said: "He is my guard leader Shen Ying."
The prefect Li Wuya said, "Come, go to Shenfu Villa and bring Shen Ying!"
Two quarters of an hour later!
The thin Shen Ying was brought in, and the scars on the upper part of the lips were too obvious.
"Shen Ying, please raise your right hand." The prefect Li Wuya said coldly.
Shen Ying raised his right hand.
Suddenly, everyone saw that his ring finger was indeed shorter.
The prefect Li Wuya said, "Come here, press Shen Ying's right hand to compare the handprints on Li Er's neck."
Several people stepped forward and grabbed Shen Ying's right hand and placed it on the handprint of the corpse's neck.
It really matched, and the lengths of several fingers were exactly the same.
Everyone exclaimed.
Even the candidates and students who were watching Lin Caichen and Ning Liren took a breath when they saw this scene.
They felt that Shen Wuque really couldn't clear this suspicion.
and……
When Shen Wuque and Li Er had a conflict, many people saw it, including many candidates present.
suddenly……
A candidate standing behind Ning Liren raised his hand and said, "Sir, I have something to say."
Ning Liren, Lin Caichen and others' expressions changed drastically.
Wuque knew this person. The candidate laughed at him as the best dog licking in the world, and also laughed at him. Did his wife, Bian, cuckold him?
At that time, Wuque asked the student to write his name.
This person is called Zhang Lisan.
The prefect Li Wuya said: "Come out and talk!"
Candidate Zhang Lisan walked out and said, "In the examination room, I support Lord Yuanhu. I also firmly believe that Shen Wuque is the first in this big exam. I admire his talent very much. But... on the first day of the exam, I did see a conflict between Shen Wuque and the examiner Li Er. Shen Wuque smiled and said to Li Er that he would kill his whole family."
It was ridiculous. When Shin Wuque said this, no third person heard it.
So although Zhang Lisan said the facts, he was determined to slander Wuque.
Many candidates present remembered that Zhang Lisan had been supporting Shen Wuque just now, shouting that Shen Wuque was the first. And when Linghu captured Shen Wuque again, Zhang Lisan rushed out immediately and stood in front of Shen Wuque.
But it was precisely because he came out to identify Shen Wuque, which made people so believer.
Suddenly, the prefect Li Wuya said sternly: "Shen Wuque, now that people and physical evidence are there, what else do you have to say?"
"You are so cruel and despicable. Li Er just maintains order in the examination room and asks you to take off your clothes to check if there are any entrainments. You actually killed the whole family?"
"It's so crazy that it's inexcusable."
"Shen Wuque, why don't you kneel down and confess your guilt?"
