At this time, Wen Qiyu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I want to go to Dali Temple. I heard that Master Shen has caught the suspect. I always feel that this matter is too strange."
Xiao Chengyi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Ye Xiuchen was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Wen Qiyu and cast an admiring look.
I have to say that it is his elder brother-in-law who is more capable.
Wen Qiyu pretended not to be seen and left the flower hall with Xiao Chengyi.
Ye Xiuchen hurriedly followed: "I'll go too."
The three people left the house and headed towards Dali Temple.
...
At this time, in Dali Temple, Shen Chi was interrogating the blacksmith Wang. This man was about thirty years old and a widower. He had not said a word since he was captured.
Shen Chi felt that this was really the strangest case he had ever encountered since handling the case.
The murder weapon was found, but the motive for the murder was unknown.
Shen Chi held the life story about the blacksmith Wang and read it again: "Five years ago, your wife died of illness. Three years ago, your son was abducted and his whereabouts are unknown. Why did you kill Niu Erlang?" ?
Could it be related to the disappearance of your son? If you tell me, I can make the decision for you."
This blacksmith Wang's real name was Wang Qi. He had many brothers in the family, but he was the only one who survived. His parents disliked him for being unknown and thought he was a torture to their relatives, so they kicked him out.
Fortunately, a kindhearted person adopted him and taught him the blacksmithing skills, and he got married based on this skill.
I just don’t know if his life was too tough. He married a wife and gave birth to children. The originally harmonious family ended up being separated by the death of his wife and his son.
Now this murder case comes up again.
When Blacksmith Wang heard what Shen Chi said, he only raised his eyelids. His eyes seemed to move a little, but he remained silent.
Shen Chi's face turned cold: "Are you going to force me to torture you?"
He didn't like to torture prisoners, unless they were the kind who couldn't get enough oil and salt. This blacksmith Wang didn't say a word, so he was really a tough nut to crack.
Shen Chi's face darkened and he was about to order his men to torture him when he saw Xiao Chengyi coming in with Wen Qiyu and Ye Xiuchen.
He hurriedly stood up, bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "I heard that you arrested a suspect."
Shen Chi said: "This man is a blacksmith on Chang'an Street. Something suspected of being a murder weapon was found in his shop. However, he has been silent since being arrested and cannot ask anything."
Xiao Chengyi looked at the murder weapon on the table, which was consistent with Niu Erlang's wound.
He squinted his eyes, looked at Blacksmith Wang, and asked, "He didn't say a word?"
Shen Chi nodded solemnly.
Xiao Chengyi didn't know what he was thinking of. He walked over quickly, picked up Blacksmith Wang's chin, and opened his mouth.
Sure enough, his tongue was gone.
A chill ran down Xiao Chengyi's spine, and some flashes of inspiration flashed through his mind, but they were not very clear.
Wen Qiyu walked over and took a look, and couldn't help being surprised: "Did someone cut out his tongue?"
Shen Chi was also stunned. He never thought that Blacksmith Wang had his tongue cut out, which made him unable to speak.
He frowned and said, "This file doesn't say that Blacksmith Wang lost his tongue. He has a very good relationship with the people nearby.
