Grandma Han had kneeled on the ground and straightened her waist. When she heard this, she was so scared that she crawled on the ground and kowtowed, "Good Master, please spare my life, tell the truth. ●⌒, my master just got up at noon. He liked to sleep in. After getting up, he said he wanted to go out for a walk, and then he went out and came back for about half an hour. Because he had been sleeping at home before, I thought it would be okay to go out for half an hour, so I kept it hidden. Please spare my life, I didn't mean to hide it."

Lu Jinping did not expect that a new situation suddenly appeared at this time of trial. This news was so important. The old man had always been the focus of Lu Jinping's attention, because before that, Jia Feng and his father mentioned that the old man abused his daughter-in-law.

Lu Jinping immediately interrogated Mr. Han.

Han Yuanwai kept paying attention to the situation here. He saw his wife kowtowing to Lu Jinping constantly, and was talking in a hurry, but he couldn't hear anything from the distance. However, he felt that it was not a good thing from his expression. Therefore, when he came over, the old man looked ugly. When he got closer, Duogu was trembling, not knowing whether to kneel down or bow to salute.

Lu Jinping said: "Official Han, I just learned that you went out for half an hour when you were close to noon, but you didn't tell me about this before. Do you have anything to hide? Let me tell you that you have a major criminal suspect and I have obtained enough evidence to arrest you! Do you say it yourself, or will you be punished after you arrive at the yamen?"

Mr. Han's forehead was sweating coldly, his white beard was trembling, and finally his feet were soft, and he knelt on the ground with a thump, saying, "Sir, I said. But, I really didn't kill my daughter-in-law. I did go out to find her. Because after I got up, my wife told me that Eleventh Lady had gone out and went to Jia Feng to borrow some rice and flour. However, she guessed that the old thing in the shopkeeper Jia might have to sleep with Eleventh Lady on excuses, and maybe she could get more money this time."

Lu Jinping interrupted and asked: "Do you know that Jiangui Jia used money to seduce Eleventh Lady?"

"It was my wife who told me that she had forced Jianguan Jia to get five stagnant of money back, and the money was almost used. In the past few days, we discussed privately how to ask Jianguan Jia to knock out some more money. This time we had to knock out a little bigger, and then, yes, take some money and do some business to revitalize the family business. So I thought about it and wanted to go around Jianguan Jia's house to see if I could catch a current or something so that I could make some money. So I went to the back of their house not far from their house. I saw his son Jia Feng squatting under a willow tree near their house. I didn't know what I was doing, so I avoided and went from the other side. However, I listened to the wall of their house for a long time and heard nothing."

Lu Jinping interrupted, "Did you see Jia Feng squatting under the willow tree? Are you sure it was him?"

"Yes, he looked sideways. I could see that it was him, but he didn't look at me, so he didn't notice me. As soon as I saw him, I hid immediately."

"About when is that?"

"It's almost noon."

Lu Jinping's heart skipped a beat. So, Jia Feng's suspicion of committing the crime can be ruled out. Because the old man accidentally became his witness, proving that he was under the willow tree at that time and had no time to commit the crime."

Lu Jinping said: "You continue talking."

"I was squatting in their backyard and listening to them. If there was any movement, I would go in and catch the adulterer, otherwise I would lose the handle. But at this moment, matchmaker Zhang and his son came out of the village. When they saw me squatting there from a distance, they asked me what I was doing. I said it was okay, and I was tired and squatted for a while, and then followed matchmaker Zhang to the outside of the village. She asked her what she was doing. She said she wanted to go to Tongzhou to talk about the matchmaking. When talking about the matchmaking, she asked my daughter-in-law if she had found her in-laws' house? Do you have the intention to give her a favor? She also said that the price I offered was too high, and if she could reduce it, she would have

There were several families who could help find out. Then, I chatted with me about the situation of those families. I responded casually and went to our doorstep. After chatting for about half an hour, I broke up. As soon as I got home, my wife said that my daughter-in-law had never come. Will it be like being Jia? I went to look for it. This was a money tree. So we both came out and searched all the way. We found Jia Jiangui's place. Jia Jiangui said we didn't see it. We just searched everywhere and found her body in the toilet. That's it."

"Where is the matchmaker Zhang? Have you gone to Tongzhou?"

"She said she went to Tongzhou, but it wasn't. She went to the neighboring village to talk about the matchmaking. She liked to swear and praised her ability to talk about the matchmaking. She always said that she went to Tongzhou to match the big family. In fact, she was just a matchmaking for some farmers in the village. She came back in the afternoon. I saw her watching the fun in front of her, and she was with her son."

Lu Jinping immediately ordered the village to call matchmaker Zhang and her son to ask separately. As expected, it matched what Han Yuanwai said.

Lu Jinping was a little stunned. Judging from the time period mentioned by the three of them, at noon, Han Yuanwai and the matchmaker kept chatting together for half an hour, so he had no time to kill people, so his suspicion could be ruled out.

If this is the biggest suspect, then who did Eleventh Lady murder?

At this time, Ye Qingqing also came back and told Lu Jinping that the fat man Qu's wife had refused to admit it at first, so I threatened her not to tell the truth and told her husband about it. She admitted it and asked me to keep it a secret, saying that the vegetable farmers were all there on that day. It was not until they heard outside that Eleventh Lady was killed in the toilet that they came out in panic. The detailed descriptions were consistent with what the vegetable farmers said, proving that the two did not lie.

Lu Jinping called Han Yuanwai's neighbor to investigate. The neighbor testified that he heard that Grandma Han had chopped pig grass in the yard all morning to cook pig food, saw smoke from their kitchen, and heard her shouting to feed the pigs, proving that she had never left until noon.

In this way, the five most likely suspects, including Jiangui Jia and his son, Han Yuanwai and his wife, and vegetable farmers, had no time to commit the crime.

Who is the murderer?

Lu Jinping was a little stunned. At this time, it was already evening, and the sun was gradually setting. He saw that Lu Jinping was just asking questions, and the distance was far away, and he couldn't hear what they were asking. He heard that Lu Jinping was dissecting the body in the surrounding awning, which really made the onlookers excited. However, they were blocked by the surrounding mat and could not see it at all. They quickly lost interest and saw that the sun was about to set. So the onlookers went home and gradually dispersed.

The village was smiling and said to Lu Jinping: "Sir, it's getting late, so why don't you stay in the humble house for one night. Although it's a bit simple, the villain has already made some mountain village game. The gentry also wants to take this opportunity to meet you, Sir, and toast you with Sir, and I wonder if Sir, will I appreciate your face?"

Lu Jinping was really hesitant whether to transport the body directly back or stay and continue to investigate the case.

This village is not far from Tongzhou City, so it doesn't take much time to come and go, but the key is that no useful clue has been found yet. All the suspects have found evidence to prove that they are not present after investigation. This case has become a headless case. Lu Jinping was a little depressed. After all, he was still a little unwilling to go back like this.

Seeing that the village was talking politely, and the old men standing not far away all changed into brand new clothes and were waiting with a smile. He also knew that in ancient times, officials were very particular about the principle of carrying flower sedan chairs, so he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll be disturbed."

The village was worried that Lu Jinping would not agree and didn't know what to do. Now, hearing Lu Jinping say this, he was very happy and hurriedly ordered several gentry not far away to come and greet Lu Jinping, and invited Lu Jinping to the village.

The body had been dissected, so Lu Jinping called Han Yuanwai and his wife and told them to take the body back to handle the funeral. As for the case, the old couple would be investigated further. Lu Jinping was suspected of being the suspect, so they were very nervous for a while. Now, when Lu Jinping no longer mentioned that they might commit the crime, they felt a little relieved and kept thanking him, and then carried the body home crying.

Then Lu Jinping brought Ye Qingqing and the constables with him, and arrived at the village master and the gentry in the moonlight. At this time, the constables who were searching everywhere in the village came back one after another, and there was basically no useful news.

Lu Jinping was very depressed, so he had no interest in drinking. Although the gentry and the others were toasting frequently, Lu Jinping reluctantly drank half a jar of wine, and then took Ye Qingqing to sit in the room arranged in the countryside and went to bed.

I was speechless all night, until the next day, after washing up, Lu Jinping wanted to see the scenery of the mountain village, and took Ye Qingqing out for a casual stroll around the village.

The gentry had already drunk with Lu Jinping the night before, but they didn't get up at this moment. Mummasa was actually drunk too much, but when he heard from the servant that the Lord was going out for a walk, he quickly struggled to get up and wanted to accompany Lu Jinping. Lu Jinping did not let him follow him, but just said that he could just walk around and take his maid with him. Mummasa had to give up.

Lu Jinping took Ye Qingqing slowly wandering around the village. The villagers usually get up early and then go to work in the fields. They all know that this is a high-ranking official from the prefecture government office. Now, seeing him chariot, he only brought a little maid to stroll around the village. He couldn't help but be surprised and curious, and bravely stepped forward to salute. However, more villagers stood far away, lowered their heads and waited for him to come over, and then they dared to do their own things. (To be continued...)
