Chapter 318: Pursuit

At the foot of Yinling Mountain in Bazhou, Sichuan, after seeing them off in the sad mountain song of clouds and dew, Yang Qiuchi and his group returned to Bazhou City. It was already afternoon.

Yang Qiuchi was in a bad mood and was speechless all the way. The girls didn't dare to provoke him.

Captain Zhan came to report that he had controlled nine bamboo craftsmen in Liuli Village as Yang Qiuchi's instructions and searched all their bamboo swords.

Yang Qiuchi was hoping to use his busy work to adjust his mood. He took the bamboo knives to the forensic room of his inner court, conducted a cutting and cutting simulation trace test, and then conducted a comparison and identification.

After the third test, the surprise finally came!

After the third bamboo knife cuts the copper wire, the traces left behind are captured by a microscope and compared the traces on the laptop with the traces and traces on the broken chain on the laptop. Moreover, several important details are completely consistent. Based on this, it is judged that this thin iron chain was cut off by the third bamboo knife!

He picked up the bamboo knife and looked at it. It was heavy and the edge was very sharp. There was a small cloth tape wrapped around the handle of the knife. The owner of the bamboo knife was named "Sun Laosan."

Yang Qiuchi ordered the preparation of a sedan chair, and took Song Yun'er, Shuang'er and Xue'er, two pretty maids, led the constable and the guard team to Liuli Village. Under Sulizheng's leadership, he came to Sun Laosan Sun Maijiang's house.

All the bamboo craftsmen in this village have been controlled by the righteous and civilians in Suli.

Sun Mijiang saw that the magistrate and the constable had been investigating the case in the village these two days and found him directly. He was so scared that his knees weakened and he knelt on the ground.

Yang Qiuchi sat on the Grand Master's chair arranged by the people in the yard and threw the two iron chains in front of Sun Meijian: "Tell me! Did you cut the iron chain and stole it?"

Sun Wujiang didn't know how Yang Qiuchi knew. But since Master Guan found himself so surely, Sun Wujiang didn't dare to hide it. He said tremblingly: "Little man... the villain should die... it was the villain who secretly chopped and took the ground in Huo Xiaosi's yard..."

"How did you cut it?"

"I... I put the iron chain on the ground and cut it off with a bamboo knife. The iron chain is very thin, and it will be broken with one knife on the ground."

"Why didn't you come out to admit it two days ago? Do you have to wait for the official to pull you out? You're such a fucking troublemaker!" Yang Qiuchi slapped heavily on the armrest of the Grand Master's chair and shouted: "Tell me quickly, how did you kill Li Han and kill Li Han? Say!"

After hearing this, Sun Wujiang was frightened and raised his head and shouted, "Master, the villain is wronged! That Li Hanbao is really not killed by a villain."

"You cut off the iron chain and stole it was used to tie stones on the neck of the deceased. All the people were there, and you were still stubborn!" Yang Qiuchi was furious and shouted, "Drag it down and hit the thirty boards again!"

Yun Lu's incident made him feel very bad, and hundreds of trace comparisons have been conducted in the past few days, which made him dizzy and starry-like. I remembered that he was looking around in this village like a fool two days ago. Sun Wujiang knew that he was investigating who cut off the iron chain, but he just couldn't come out to admit it. He was watching jokes, but now he refused to admit his guilt. He couldn't help but make him angry and betrayed his courage, asking the constables to hit Sun Wujiang's butt.

The yamen runners agreed in unison. They stepped forward and grabbed Sun Wuzhijian, dragged him aside, and beat him hard, beating Sun Wuzhijian so hard that he snot and saliva was flying, crying and screaming.

Shuang'er felt a little reluctant. While fanning Yang Qiuchi, she bent over and whispered: "Master, let's check it out first, and then hit the board as soon as she comes..."

Yang Qiuchi glared at him: "Do you need to teach me how to do it? Hum?"

After all, Shuang'er is a Miao girl. She grew up in Miao village and has not been strictly educated by the general ethics of the Han people. Therefore, last time she was in Miao village, only her servants would joke about teaching the master to sing love songs, which led to that huge misunderstanding.

Now she saw Yang Qiuchi beating someone without saying anything, and she couldn't bear it, so she boldly persuaded her. Unexpectedly, the master who had always been kind and never looked at them now would scold her in public. Her pretty face turned red and her mouth was about to cry.

As soon as Yang Qiuchi said that, he immediately regretted it. Seeing that she was about to cry with a miserable face, he felt even more apologized. He reached out and pulled Shuang'er in front of him and whispered: "I'm sorry, Shuang'er, I'm a little annoyed these two days. I've been talking a little harder, don't mind." He immediately waved his hand and told the yamen runners not to beat him again.

Although Shuang'er does not adhere to the rules and regulations as strict as Han women, she also knows how to be in order. However, Yang Qiuchi talks to them on weekdays. Shuang'er, Xue'er regards him more as his brother, not as an official. Now Yang Qiuchi suddenly loses his temper. No wonder Shuang'er is wronged, but he also knows that he cannot talk to the master like this according to the rules.

Now Yang Qiuchi apologized to her in turn, followed her advice and stopped hitting the board again. She was really at a loss. She hurriedly said with tears in her eyes: "No, it's Shuang'er wrong. How can the master apologize to me a little girl?"

Seeing that she was shy and anxious, Yang Qiuchi felt even more apologized and whispered: "Shuang'er sang so well in the mountain songs and was beautiful. If she wanted to cry, she wouldn't look good."

When I remembered singing a mountain song, I immediately thought of the desolate gaze when Yunlu left, and I couldn't help feeling sad.

Shuang'er listened to Yang Qiuchi's soft voice to comfort herself, feeling both wronged and happy. She nodded to Yang Qiuchi with tears in her eyes, retreated to the back, and then fanned Yang Qiuchi.

Before the thirty big boards were beaten halfway, Yang Qiuchi stopped him. However, even the ten boards had beaten Sun Mai Craftsman torture his father and mother torture him miserably.

The yamen runners dragged Sun Wujian over. Yang Qiuchi asked, "Are you willing to admit it?"

Sun Maijian begged with a sad face: "Master, Master Qingtian, the villain really didn't kill Li Hanbao. Please be careful."

After the trouble just now, Yang Qiuchi calmed down and said, "I asked you, what are you doing when you cut down the fine iron chains in Huo Xiaosi's yard?"

"I carried a large bundle of mats to go to Bazhou for sale at noon. When I passed by Huo Xiaosi's house, the rope for mats was suddenly broken. It was too short to tie it up. If this large rolled mat was not tied up, it would not be carried to Bazhou. I came to Huo Xiaosi's house to borrow a rope. There was no one in their house. I saw a thin iron chain with dogs tied in the yard. Anyway, they didn't need it, so I... I cut it off and took it to tie the mat."

"Why are you going to sell mats and bringing a bamboo knife on your body?"

"I'm used to it. My devil knife is usually inserted into the scabbard on the back, which is convenient for use at any time."

"Hehe, then you're still a swordsman." Yang Qiuchi smiled coldly, with a stern face, and then asked, "Where did you run to the afternoon of the afternoon before yesterday?"

"You hour..." Sun Meijian thought for a while, "You hour... the villain went to Bazhou City to sell mats around noon and left after dark."

He also ran to Bazhou. Yang Qiuchi had a big head. Did he not have time to commit the crime? He asked, "Who can testify?"

"Testimation..." Sun Mijiang rubbed and almost opened the butt of Huadi, "I went to lunch and came back in the evening... I lived alone by the village, without neighbors, and had no money to marry and have children, and I was alone... Who testified for me, but I really didn't kill that Li Hanbao."

"You don't have time to witness...that is, no one can prove that you are not at the murder scene, and the thin iron chain you cut with a bamboo knife appeared on the neck of the deceased. What's going on?"

When Sun Meizhi heard what Yang Qiuchi said, he seemed to have already taken a serious murder charge on his head. He was so scared that he was no longer looking shy. He kowtowed and shouted for justice in panic, but he didn't know how to cleanse his grievances.

Yang Qiuchi also found that there might be any grievances in this place, so he patiently recalled for him: "Think about it carefully, did anyone see you when you left the village at noon?"

Yang Qiuchi's kind attitude made Sun Meijian relax a little. After thinking about it, he shook his head: "I live in the bamboo forest next to the village, and there are no neighbors on the front and back. The weather was very hot that day. Who would have run to the sun at noon? It seems that I didn't see any acquaintance along the way."

"So is anyone able to prove that you did sell mats in Bazhou during the Youth hour?"

"Prove... but I... but I haven't met any acquaintances in Bazhou." Sun Mijiang said with a bitter face. He was very worried that if he couldn't find a witness, he would force the murder to be blamed on him and arrested him and even beheaded.

His concerns were not without reason. Fortunately, he met Yang Qiuchi this time, a judicial worker in the new era who had just received the education of the socialist rule of law concept of "presumption of innocence", a modern forensic doctor who was confident that he could capture the real culprit. If it were other ancient bureaucrats, such strong evidence of guilt and no witnesses, they would be determined to be punished and betrayed, and their heads would be hung.

Yang Qiuchi thought for a while and asked, "Where is the iron chain you tied the mat?"

"In the afternoon, someone bought all my mats, and the iron chains tied to the mats, so they were taken away by the man when he carried the mats."

Sun Meijiang didn't know how important this situation was to him, but Yang Qiuchi knew, and he asked, "Who is that person? Where do you live?"

Only then did Sun Meijiang realize the importance of this matter from Yang Qiuchi's words and said in panic: "I...I don't know that person..."
