Chapter 152
But Lu Jinping didn't say it. He wanted to find an appropriate opportunity to tell the old man until the end. So far, the old man still firmly believed that his son was murdered, so Lu Jinping silently followed him along the thorns. He had already thought about it when he came that there might be a difficult road, so he changed into a short-dressing dress and did not wear an official robe.
But the magistrate Tong was different. When he saw Shangguan, he must have been wearing an official robe. Now Lu Jinping wanted to go over, he certainly could not look here with his head up, but of course he had to follow him. This time, he suffered a lot. Not only did he work hard, but his face and hands were scratched by thorns, and his brand new official robe was torn to pieces. When Lu Jinping came to the edge of the cliff, his official robe was no longer in shape.
Ye Qingqing followed Lu Jinping to the edge of the cliff, and he even held Lu Jinping's hand in hand, paying attention to the situation under his feet.
It was obvious that Old Man Su had been here before, so he was very familiar with him. He knew where he should be from the corresponding position of his son's bloodstain. He took Lu Jinping and the others to walk sideways for a while, then pointed to a place and said, "That's it, my son was pushed down by the winter melon head. Look, below is the big rock that my son fell to death.
There were some green vines growing on the cliff. Lu Jinping grabbed a green vine as thick as a child's arm, supporting his body, and leaned his head to look down the cliff. Ye Qingqing quickly grabbed his arm and grabbed another green vine with one hand to support it.
The petite Su Sanmei grabbed Lu Jinping's belt with one hand and a small tree with the other, and supported his body with her feet against a stone. Lu Jinping smiled at him and signaled not to use it, but Su Xiaomei did not let go.
Lu Jinping looked over and saw that the blood was found below. So, this place should be the initial murder scene, of course, if there is a murder.
Lu Jinping then pulled back and smiled at Su Sanmei. He said, "Thank you, I'm fine, I can let go."
When Su Sanmei heard this, she quickly let go and retreated to the back. She lowered her head and did not speak.
Lu Jinping saw County Magistrate Tong who was standing a few steps away and gasping for breath, and said, "Have you ever been here?"
County Magistrate Tong laughed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then tidied up the official robe that had been worn out, and said with a smile: "I haven't been here before."
"Then have you ever been to the place where the deceased fell to death?"
County Magistrate Tong was even more frightened and said hurriedly: "No..., we just caught the winter melon head to the county government for investigation. He said that he was visiting his relative's house in those days, and people from a village could prove it. We sent someone to investigate, and it was true. He had a wedding banquet at his relative's house more than ten miles away and had never come back. There were many people who proved it, so we felt that it was impossible for him to kill him."
Lu Jinping glanced at the old man Su next to him and said to the Magistrate Tong: "Human life is at stake. Since the old man has always claimed that his son was murdered and has made some truths, he still has to come to the scene to check it out. We officials cannot sit in the hall to ask the case. Sometimes, if we don't go deep into the actual investigation, there will be big problems."
"What the Lord taught is that after you get a rank, you must pay attention to everything yourself."
In fact, Lu Jinping's words were a bit forced to teach the magistrate Tong a lesson. If it were normal circumstances, he would not say that. But this time he had to do something first, so that the other party knew that he was enforcing the law impartially without leaving any personal affection. He would not protect each other. Then he would turn around and explain to Old Man Su that there was no murder in this case, so that he could convince the other party.
The county magistrate followed behind, looked around, and said, "This place is so good that he can kill your son. How could he run to this place to kill? It's impossible."
When Old Man Su heard this, he looked at the county magistrate sadly and said, "Of course it is not easy for you officials to come here, but it is easy for us people from the mountains to come here. It must be that he forced my son to come to the edge of the mountain, then pushed him down, pretending that he fell to death. Everyone in the village knew that there was a cliff here, who would run here and fall to fall? It was clearly forced by him, Master, you have to make the decision for me."
The county magistrate wanted to say something else. County Magistrate Tong had already glared at him fiercely and signaled him not to speak. It was not him who was investigating the case now, but Mr. Lu from Tongzhou Prefecture came down to investigate himself, so he could not say much.
Lu Jinping stood by the cliff and looked around. The place was overgrown with thatch, and no one had ever been there. But this happened two months ago. In two months, there was enough measures to restore the trees and weeds to their original state, and it was impossible to see if they had ever been there. The wind, rain, sun, rain, and rain, it was impossible to leave any traces. However, Lu Jinping stood there very carefully and carefully looked at the surrounding ground and places where there might be traces on the trees. Unfortunately, he found nothing.
Old Man Su has been observing his expressions and expressions. He has lived for most of his life and knows how to see his psychology from a person's face. He is now determined to avenge his son. He can see that Lu Jinping does not have that kind of anger. In other words, it is very likely that he does not believe that his son was murdered in this case. So Old Man Su became anxious and quickly pulled his granddaughter over and whispered: "Go and ask the Lord to avenge your father, hurry up, kneel down."
Su Sanmei hurried over and was about to kneel down. Lu Jinping searched on the ground without paying attention. Su Sanmei knelt down without saying anything, so she didn't have time to stop it. However, Ye Qingqing was quick and pulled her away and said, "Don't do this. If you have anything to say, our Lord will definitely help you."
"My grandfather said, let me ask the sir to avenge my father." Su Sanmei lowered her head and said these words in a somewhat dry voice.
Lu Jinping Town was searching on the ground but found nothing. He was a little depressed. He couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Su Sanmei's tone of speaking in a plain manner. It was her father who died, and the revenge of killing her father was irreconcilable. Doesn't she want to avenge her father?
So Lu Jinping glanced at Su Sanmei. He wanted to ask, but the words were whispered and swallowed. He decided to go back to the village first, so he said to Old Man Su: "Old man, take me to your house. I want to ask you some things. We also need to conduct an external investigation. Now the sun is about to set. I guess I will live in your village tonight, so I have to do a good job."
Old Man Su was speechless. There were so many people that he couldn't live in three wooden houses in his house. But what should he say?
Lu Jinping saw his thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just said I live with you, and some of the rest of them live in places. Right? County lieutenant." Lu Jinping knew that as a county magistrate, there were fewer possible opportunities to live in the countryside, and the county lieutenant wanted to urge taxes, so there were many more opportunities to go to the countryside. He was sure that he was most familiar with this situation. Sure enough, the county lieutenant nodded and said: "No problem, I will tell the village that you can just arrange for each family in the village to live in, and you can definitely live there."
Only then did Old Man Su breathe a sigh of relief and smiled at Lu Jinping and said, "Sir, come with me."
As he said that, he separated the thorns with his own hands and walked back along the way. After a long time of hard work, he finally returned to the edge of the ridge. Then he followed the ridge path back to the village.
Lu Jinping asked the accompanying village official: "Is the winter melon head inside the village or outside?"
Murakami bowed with a smile and replied, "He is a bachelor at home and has no place to go."
Lu Jinping said: "Okay, then you take me there. I have to have some questions and I want to ask him."
So, under the leadership of the village and town, the group came to Donggua Tou's home in a vast way.
There is only one dilapidated courtyard in the Donggua Tou family. The village is standing in the yard and shouting: "What is Donggua Tou? The master from the prefecture government office is here. Come out quickly to pay a visit!"
The gate of the courtyard opened quickly, and a tall and strong man with a fat face appeared in front of him. He looked at Lu Jinping and the others. Seeing that they were wearing official robes, he immediately raised his waist and smiled and said, "What are the instructions for the adults to pass the villain over there. How to come to the door? It's really a killing villain."
Chunzheng snorted and said, "What do you think? Will the Lord come to visit you? Put gild on your face by yourself? Don't urinate yourself. The Lord came to investigate the case of Old Man Su's house. You answer carefully, don't tell a lie, otherwise you will have good fruits!"
Donggua Head chuckled and hurriedly let Lu Jinping and the others into the house.
Lu Jinping walked into the house and saw that the furnishings inside were simple, and it seemed that the winter melon head was not doing well. Lu Jinping asked, "Do you know how Old Man Su's son died?"
"I really don't know. I was having wedding banquets at my relatives' house more than ten miles away in those few days. I was drunk. Many people in the village knew about it. When I came back, I found out that Old Man Su's son fell off the cliff and died, but his father insisted on thinking that I strangled him to death. If I were to kill him, how could it be so difficult? I really couldn't tell you. I really didn't kill him, Lord."
"Why do people insist that you killed it?"
