Chapter 37: Think carefully, the murderer is about to come out
On the way back to the county government office, Xiao Shan briefly talked to everyone about the situation of the Wang family.
Wang Er was a butcher, but he was very unsatisfactory in that regard. He had previously married a relative, but he divorced her because she did not bear him a son or a half.
He spent a lot of money to marry this Wang Shi family from a neighboring county.
It is said that Wang Shi's biological mother died, his father married his stepmother and gave birth to a younger brother.
Unfortunately, this younger brother is very unsatisfactory. He is only sixteen this year, but he has already learned how to eat, drink, whore, and gamble. He is good at everything.
The reason why Wang Shi married Wang Er was because his younger brother injured someone and needed a sum of money to compensate him.
During the year that Wang Shi married Wang Er, she was conscientious and very good at housework. She was also extremely filial to An Ren (mother-in-law) who was paralyzed in bed. The only shortcoming was that it had been a year.
, there is no movement in the stomach yet.
Mrs. Wang was originally very satisfied with her daughter-in-law, but because her daughter-in-law never got pregnant and Wang Er was already older, she started to complain slightly.
Wang Er is not a person who cares about flowers and jade. He heard his mother often whispering this in his ear, and after a long time, he didn't think that Wang Shi was as beautiful and charming as he seemed at first sight.
Then he started beating and scolding Mr. Wang Shi constantly.
Neighbors often heard Wang Shi's suppressed cries, and they all felt that Wang Er deserved to die. He didn't care about his wife, who was as beautiful as a flower. Instead, he went to Yihongyuan to have fun whenever he had some leisure time, and the family expenses were even higher.
Wang Shishi supported others by washing clothes.
"Then Wang Er didn't check it out. Could it be that his inability to have children is his problem?"
As soon as Qin Shaobai said these words, Xiao Shan stopped abruptly and looked at his county magistrate with strange eyes.
Song Ci pondered for a while and praised: "Master Qin's idea is indeed worthy of consideration. The matter of having children and daughters is not a woman's business alone, so the problem of infertility may lie with men."
Isn't it? You still don't know about this possibility? Let me tell you, not only is this possible, but the probability of this possibility is also very high.
Qin Shaobai looked at the two ancients beside him, and after thinking about it, he thought it would be better not to say anything more, otherwise, he would be told how weird he was by these guys again.
Unknowingly, the three of them arrived at the county government office.
A group of detectives stayed in the lobby to rest. They patrolled the whole mountain, and were ordered by the county magistrate to pull weeds and dig holes. They also had to take the four corpses to Yizhuang. They were really exhausted.
Supposedly, it was already past the time to call it a day, but neither of the two adults came back, and no one dared to mention going home to rest.
Seeing Qin Shaobai and the others dismounting, everyone gathered around them.
"Brother Xiao, you should take the two of them to the prison to take out Mrs. Wang Shi. Master Song and I will interrogate her overnight."
The police officers who originally thought they were about to take a break, all looked sad when they heard Qin Shaobai said that he wanted to be interrogated at night, but they did not dare to raise any opinions, so they could only comply with the orders one by one.
Mrs. Wang Shi was brought to the lobby, but she saw that she no longer had the same brilliance as before, and her eyes were full of sadness and even despair.
"The person kneeling in the hall is Shi Yayun from Nanyang County?" Qin Shaobai knocked on the door and remembered what Mr. Li said when he first interrogated him, so he immediately copied it and sold it.
"Sir, you should call him Wang Shishi." The master came over and reminded him softly.
Qin Shaobai felt pity in his heart, saying that Song Dynasty was very kind to women, but he couldn't even give his own name.
"Wang Shi, please tell me in detail what happened today."
Mrs. Wang Shi originally thought that the adults in the hall would indiscriminately accuse herself of murder first.
Hearing that Qin Shaobai actually asked her to tell the reason first, she was secretly happy: perhaps the master in this room is really Master Qingtian, who can find out the real cause of her husband's death.
"Back to the old man, today, while I was washing clothes at home, I heard the old man next door saying to me that my husband-in-law had closed the door again and didn't know where he was going."
"I originally thought that where my husband goes is not something I can control. In addition, these days, my husband often goes out to play after work. Anren said that men should be free, so let me give him freedom."
"But An Ren heard about it and told me that it's not time to finish work yet. If your husband-in-law goes out so early, something must be wrong. Go and see if there is anything you can do to help him."
"So, I put down what I was doing and went to my husband's butcher shop."
"When I arrived at the shop, I saw him just about to leave. I wanted to call him to stop, but I saw a woman calling him from the bridge. He immediately followed her without a trace."
Wang Shi's voice lowered, and there was a bit more emphasis in her words.
"I thought to myself, forget it, let him go play with others. As long as he is willing to go home and give me money to get medicine for An Ren, I won't have any complaints."
"But you saw your husband take out the silver from the package and give it to the woman?"
Wang Shi raised her head and nodded lightly.
"Although it's a little far away, how could I not recognize those twelve weights of silver?" Wang Shi suddenly became excited and moved her kneeling legs forward, "Sir, I really advise you.
After thinking about myself for a long time, I said that I could just wash clothes and give Anren medicine. I would just eat less and wear less clothes. But..."
Wang Shishi suddenly burst into tears.
The grown men in the room looked at the crying woman and didn't know what to do.
"Ms. Wang Shi, please tell me in detail what happened next." Qin Shaobai couldn't bear to be shocked, so he just reminded him softly.
"Thank you, sir." Mrs. Wang Shi wiped her tears with her hand, "The woman took the ten taels of silver and ran forward with a smile. My husband also ran along with her. I don't know why, so I ran along with her.
"
"The two of them didn't go to Yihongyuan or any restaurant. Instead, they kept running up the mountain."
"I heard my husband-in-law panting and asking the woman to wait for her. I have been running around in the mountains since I was a child, and I thought my legs were pretty good, but I was soon thrown away by the two of them."
Mrs. Wang Shi swallowed harder: "It's all my fault. If I could have followed my husband all the time, maybe nothing would have happened to him."
"You mean, your husband-in-law has been following a woman up the mountain." Qin Shaobai's heart moved slightly. They had just checked the scene, but there was no trace of the woman.
"Yes, she is very beautiful, but she is not very coquettishly dressed. At first I thought she was a woman from Yihongyuan, but now that I think about it, I think she is not. How could a woman from Nanyihongyuan be so fast?
"
"Is this the first time you've seen that woman?"
Wang Shi nodded, and suddenly she seemed to think of something: "Sir, I remembered it. One day, I went to deliver medicine to An Ren, and I heard my husband talking to An Ren, saying that he had found a woman outside.
, saying that the woman had helped him conceive the child."
A light flashed in Wang Shi's eyes, and that light made her face look a little ferocious.
"Sir, I understand. That woman must be the woman my husband mentioned, but I see that the woman's belly is flat and there is absolutely no sign of being pregnant. My husband must have seen her trick, because she didn't do it.
Without giving up, he deceived my husband into the mountains, killed him, and then faked his death in an accident."
"My lord, Mr. Qingtian, you, you must make the decision for the women of the country, for my Anren who is paralyzed in bed, and seek justice for my husband-in-law."
Wang Shishi spoke this series of words so smoothly that all the detectives standing around him nodded.
Qin Shaobai sighed in his heart, Wang Shi, Wang Shi, didn't you realize that what you said was so clear, it was the same as if you had experienced it yourself?
He looked towards Song Ci, who was sitting beside him. Song Ci was looking at Wang Shishi meaningfully.
Qin Shaobai couldn't help but shook his head. He was too familiar with the half-smiling expression on Song Ci's face. It was telling people that he had found your loophole and was watching you perform like a clown calmly.
Woolen cloth.
Xiao Shan saw that the two adults were silent, and Mr. Qin couldn't help but look at Mr. Song. Mr. Song seemed to be completely immersed in Wang Shi's narrative. He didn't know what to do, so he could only speak quietly.
Coughed.
When Qin Shaobai heard Xiao Shan's cough, he immediately withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Wang Shi who was still crying: "Wang Shi, these officials you mentioned will definitely investigate and find out if you are wronged.
, I will definitely give you justice."
Everyone stared at Qin Shaobai, waiting for Qin Shaobai to say the following words.
But Qin Shaobai said to Xiao Shan again: "Captain Xiao, you go find a dentist now to find a girl for the paralyzed old lady of the Wang family. The salary will be paid by the Yamen first, and we will talk about it later."
Xiao Shan had never seen a county magistrate do something like this, but when he thought about it, he, the new county magistrate, never played according to common sense, but he seemed to hit the target every time. It was really incomprehensible, but
I had to accept it again.
"Wang Shi, although your conjecture is very reasonable, I still have to refrain from jumping to conclusions before I have a clear understanding. So..."
Qin Shaobai's eyes narrowed and his voice became serious: "Here, send Wang Shi back to prison. The officer will retry the case at a later date after investigation."
Mrs. Wang Shi originally thought that the master in the hall would acquit her after saying so many words of approval for her. Who would have thought that this master would send her back to prison?
Thinking of the gloomy and damp cell, Wang Shi felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
"Sir, I was wronged. Sir, I want to go home and take care of Anren. Sir, you can't do this, sir..."
"Wang Cheng." Qin Shaobai pressed his head and called out to the next man in the court, "It's already late today. You can go and investigate tomorrow morning. Who is Mrs. Wang Shi washing clothes for? Has she interacted with her recently?"
Who have you met before, especially men?"
"Zhou Qu."
"exist."
"Go to the butcher shop tomorrow and ask around. If there is such a woman, the nearby shops will definitely notice it. I want you to find this woman and bring her back to the Yamen."
After everyone's tasks were clearly explained, Qin Shaobai stood up, stretched out in front of everyone, and then took out some broken silver from his body: "Zhou Qu, Wang Cheng, brothers have worked hard today.
, you go buy some supper, everyone eat something here to fill your stomach, and then go home and rest."
Zhou Qu and Wang Cheng looked at each other, they didn't know what midnight snack was.
"The late-night snacks you adults are talking about are some simple foods to fill your stomach at night. I heard that there is a noodle stall not far from the Yamen, so you ask the noodle stall owner to move the noodle stall here and give each person a bowl of beef.
Let’s have some noodle soup.”
Qin Shaobai burst out laughing, wishing he could run to Song Ci, put his arms around his shoulders like a brother, and go out to eat beef noodle soup together.
"Master Qin." Song Ci said seriously, "Master Qin also invited us to the back hall. Song still has some doubts about this case and wants to discuss it with Master Qin."
