Chapter 18 There must be something fishy about this case
The polo team arrived soon. I was very excited at first, but found that in another hall, there were no aristocratic family members to greet me, and there was no beautiful orchid to serve, so I became disappointed again.
However, they were used to being cows and horses, and once the delicious food was served, they quickly put aside their thoughts and started cooking.
The food next door was so popular that Lin Wuzuo from the Yamen here was invited, and he also brought the body box (autopsy report) and the rope used by Brother Fu to hang himself.
This is obviously against the rules.
But the people sitting in this beautiful hall can almost determine the rules of Liangzhou.
Lin Wuzuo's respectful attitude was obviously as if he was facing the county magistrate's inquiry: "I would like to inform you, Mr. Fu, except for the rope marks on his neck, there are no other signs of trauma. The corpse's head is drooping, his face is pale, and his eyes are angry."
Protruding, tongue stretched out..."
An Zhongjing was disgusted by what he heard and quickly interrupted: "Okay, let's talk about the key points. Is it possible that he was murdered?"
Lin Wuzuo shook his head: "Impossible, everything is consistent with suicide by hanging."
"You don't have to be afraid. Even if you make a mistake, it's not your responsibility."
An Zhongjing understood his concerns, and after making the promise, he asked: "If someone kills Brother Fu and then pretends to hang himself, can it be done?"
Lin Wuzuo was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and nodded slowly: "It can be done."
"Very well, take a look at the knot!"
An Zhongjing waved Lin Wuzuo aside and motioned for Liniang to come up and look at the knot.
Liniang stepped forward slowly, her hands trembling, as if she was getting closer to the truth, but she became frightened.
This reaction made everyone feel pity, and the next moment, it turned into anger.
Because Liniang checked the knot, tears quickly rolled down her face, and her voice trembled: "It's not the kind I taught my husband. There are pictures in the diary of what I taught!"
The diary was in Kang Meng's hand. He quickly opened it and found a picture of a knot. He walked up to compare it and said coldly: "It's really not the case."
"Yeah!"
An Zhongjing's face turned red with anger: "Bring Shi Ming here!"
If Brother Fu did not commit suicide, then Shi Ming, who was the first to discover his body, is the biggest suspect.
Because it only took a quarter of an hour from the time no one saw Brother Fu until they found his body that had hanged himself.
In such a short period of time, it was too late to create the illusion of suicide, leave secretly, and then be discovered by others.
But if the reporter is the murderer, then everything can be explained.
Soon, a group of big men filed in.
Everyone's eyes turned to the leader.
This man was short in stature, with a curly beard, a big nose, and an unattractive appearance.
But when walking, you can see that your posture is agile and your strength is successful.
He is Shi Ming, the number two person in the polo team, equivalent to the vice-captain.
Seeing everyone's unkind looks, Fu Ge's widow Liniang stood in the hall again. Shi Ming rolled his eyes and took the initiative to step forward and cross his hands and salute: "Alang, please don't blame Fu Ge, we are willing to take the blame for him!"
If it were before, An Zhongjing would be very happy that his polo team is in harmony and has such friendship even after death. But now his eyes flashed with a sharp light, half-smiling: "I remember you first joined the team because you were ambushed.
Brother recommends?"
Shi Ming was a little flattered: "I don't want Alang to still remember that, just like that, I have always regarded Brother Fu as my elder brother, and I am very grateful!"
An Zhongjing chuckled: "Then do you think that after Brother Fu dies, I will hand over the position of team leader to you?"
Shi Ming heard that the master's tone was unkind and quickly whispered: "Don't dare! Don't dare!"
"What else do you dare not to do!"
An Zhongjing couldn't bear it anymore and threw the knot in front of him: "Look what this is!"
Shi Ming was startled, picked it up and looked at it carefully, with a look of confusion on his face: "This is the knot we used to tie the winning hook. Why did it offend A Lang?"
An Zhongjing shouted angrily: "Brother Fu hanged himself with this rope. You were the first to find his body. Why don't you recognize it now?"
"Ah!" Shi Ming's hand trembled and the rope fell to the ground.
An Zhongjing was furious: "You regard Brother Fu as your elder brother? Thank you for your ability to speak out. You plotted to kill Brother Fu and caused our Liangzhou to almost be defeated by Hu Numa and suffer humiliation. A shameless and despicable person like you will die."
Take the blame!"
Shi Ming finally understood, his face changed drastically, and he waved his hands: "Unjustly accused! How could I kill Brother Fu? When I passed by, Brother Fu had already hanged himself!"
An Zhongjing said: "But Brother Fu committed suicide, but the knot he tied was not his usual one. It became the victory knot you were used to. How do you explain it?"
Shi Ming shouted: "Alang Mingjian, everyone else can do this kind of victory knot, why should it be tainted on me?"
An Zhongjing shouted: "Then others also tease Liniang, and are they disrespectful to my brother and sister-in-law?"
Shi Ming trembled and stammered: "I just... just said a few bullshit words... I was confused for a moment..."
He was very confident before, and the other polo players behind him were showing support, but when they heard this, they all immediately stepped aside with wonderful expressions on their faces.
But as he spoke, Shi Ming pointed at Liniang and said, "She was the one who seduced me. She took advantage of Brother Fu's absence to flirt with me. I couldn't help it..."
No one could bear to look at this ugly backbiting, An Zhongjing waved his hand: "Drag him down, put him in the county jail, and ask County Lieutenant Kang to interrogate him strictly!"
Kang Meng said: "Don't worry, I, Aye, will definitely handle it impartially!"
"Meng Teng, go and escort him, don't let anything happen!"
Jia Sibo also nodded, and Meng Teng, the strong man behind him, stepped forward, grabbed Shi Ming's shoulders, and dragged him down.
"It's wrong! It's wrong! Ah Lang, I'm wrong!!"
Shi Ming didn't dare to struggle and just shouted.
The shrill voice went away until it disappeared.
No one cared about this inferior thing anymore. An Zhongjing strode to the tearful Liniang and said gently: "I will announce your husband's grievances to the whole city and clean him up so that Brother Fu will not be punished."
Die again bearing the name of a coward!"
"Thank you Alang! Thank you Alang!"
Liniang was so excited that her legs softened and she fell into An Zhongjing's arms.

Brother Fu, now you can go with peace of mind.
I will take care of your wife!
…
Half an hour later, in front of the Zuixiang Tower, the family members said goodbye to each other and returned home happily.
Everyone worked together to clear up an unfair injustice, which can be aired again in the future.
"Brother, today I, Liangzhou, defeated Tubo, and then the murderous case was reversed, and the truth was revealed. It's really exciting!"
Kang Meng and Kun Ta rode the same horse. Kun Ta was so excited that he almost danced.
Kang Meng nodded: "It's a pity that our two brothers are only marginal figures. If you weren't familiar with Li Liulang, we wouldn't be able to attend."
The Kang family is also one of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. They moved to the Central Plains with the An family. But now that the An family is so glorious, they will be reduced to a poor family.
At this moment, Kang Meng suddenly understood why his father loved Kangda, who loved reading, so much.
Kangda, who is expected to pass the imperial examination, is the hope of the family's re-emergence.
Thinking of this, Kang Meng solemnly said: "Sanlang, I have dealt a lot of blows to you in the past. It was a short-sighted and foolish act. I apologize to you here!"
Kunda's face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother, what are you talking about? We are brothers!"
"Yes, we are brothers!"
Kang Meng hugged his shoulders and shook him, then suddenly looked forward: "Liu Lang?"
Li Yan walked out: "I feel relieved to see that your brothers have truly reconciled!"
Kangda smiled and said: "Thank you Yuanfang for your concern. I will definitely come to my house as a guest in a few days!"
Li Yan said: "There's no need to rush to say goodbye. I'm just going to find you. I'll call Lin Wuzuo out and ask a few more questions."
Kang Meng was puzzled: "Hasn't the murderer been caught?"
"Unfortunately, in my opinion, the murderer has not been brought to justice!"
Li Yan smiled slightly, his eyes looking particularly bright in the dark night: "There must be something fishy about this case!"
