Chapter 80 Flower Street (Second update)

If Rong Xuan hadn't noticed the stone pier, he would never have thought that the "murderer" would be a child.

The child has always been with Li Kui, and he is very familiar with those institutions.

Li Kui knew that the child had confessed, so he had to recruit him.

The county magistrate continued: "Li Kui said that he only wanted to make a living. It was because Wu Dong's family didn't give him a chance that he felt resentful and built a small mechanism in the steel frame of the sword so that the sword could kill people... He wanted Wu's Iron

The shop is closed."

Rong Xuan held the case file, his expression unwavering.

The county man couldn't help it anymore: "Do you think he is the real murderer?"

Rong Xuan nodded.

The county magistrate said in a daze: "You really told the truth..."

Rong Xuan shook his head.

The county magistrate was startled again, not knowing what he meant, but saw him take a pen and write one word: "Search!"

The county magistrate didn't understand what he was thinking, but he understood what the word meant, and immediately asked Captain Zhang to search Li Kui's residence.

Li Kui knew how to make machines, but Agent Zhang only found a few simple clothes.

The county master had no choice but to ask Rong Xuan to go with him.

Li Kui knew a lot about mechanism manufacturing, but Rong Xuan was familiar with the history books of Lu Ban and Mozi. In order to solve a murder case many years ago, he was almost familiar with the manufacturing technology of various weapons, machinery and engineering buildings, including exquisite mechanisms.

.

Li Kui rented a small courtyard. He had not been here long, but there was a patch of green onions planted in the courtyard. Next to the vegetable field was a dilapidated firewood shed filled with old furniture.

Rong Xuan had people clear out the furniture and found something on the beam of the woodshed.

He did not press it immediately, but asked the county magistrate to get out of the way.

As soon as the county magistrate retreated to the door, Rong Xuan locked the mechanism, and several arrow feathers shot out from the beams of the room and pierced into the surrounding mud walls. If there were other people standing in the room, they would probably have arrow holes by now.

Rong Xuan then triggered the mechanism again. This time, no arrow feathers were shot out, but a package of things fell from the beam.

The county magistrate was worried that there was fraud and asked Captain Zhang to pick it up quickly.

Rong Xuan, however, had already knelt down and opened the baggage.

A stack of banknotes, dozens of taels of silver.

Everyone else was shocked. Wasn't he just an ordinary blacksmith? He was holding a grudge because he had lost his livelihood due to Wu Dong's dismissal...

With so much money, it’s not a problem to make iron or make a living. Opening your own iron shop is not a problem.

The county magistrate looked at the money and vaguely felt that he had encountered a big case. This feeling became stronger when he saw the undercurrent on Rong Xuan's face.

On the way back, the county magistrate looked at Rong Xuan several times before he mustered up the courage to say: "Brother Rong, why do you think Li Kui killed the people? Was it someone who paid the murderer to kill him? Or was it someone who paid the murderer?

, want to destroy Wu’s Iron Shop?”

Is this incident aimed at Wu's Iron Shop, or at the deceased who was hit by a machete?

The latter is unlikely, because it can be seen from the confession of Li Kui's son Li Chun that they did not target anyone, and had only one purpose: to activate the mechanism and let the machete hit people to death.

So, someone hired a murderer to commit a crime against Wu's Iron Shop?

Who would spend more than two thousand taels of silver to target Wu's Iron Shop?

Rong Xuan did not respond.

The county magistrate sighed. He now knew that Brother Rong was not only mute, but also cold.

After returning to the government office, Rong Xuan asked someone to put the dirty money on the table.

The banknotes were wrapped in lead tinfoil, which was spiced, as if to prevent insects and ants from biting them, and were neatly folded together.

Rong Xuan separated the banknotes one by one. There were fifty taels, one hundred taels, and five hundred taels.

If you look carefully, you will find that their age and color are also different, which shows that they have been retained for different periods of time.

The county magistrate watched Rong Xuan separate each piece, even classifying them according to old and new, and amount, and his brows jumped: "So, these money are not just money for murder?"

Rong Xuan glanced at him with dark eyes and nodded solemnly.

The county magistrate took a breath. He knew that Li Kui was not an ordinary killer, but he never thought that he was a professional killer.

Their inherent impression of killers is that they kill with swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks and hidden weapons. They never thought that a small craftsman could be a professional killer.

The county magistrate hesitated for a while and then asked: "Then...should we still investigate?"

Wu's iron shop smashed a man to death with a machete, and was sentenced to paid murder. The murderer was Li Kui.

As for the employer, it is probably impossible to ask. With so many murder cases in Li Kui's hands, it is impossible for his employer to contact him. It is very likely that a specialized person contacted Li Kui, and the person who contacted the employer was also this middleman.

If the investigation continues, the implications will become bigger, and it is simply not something that he, a seventh-grade county magistrate, can investigate.

Rong Xuan raised his eyes to look at the county magistrate. His eyes, which were like abyss, shone with a cold light, as if it could cut heaven and earth. He swung the pen in his hand and landed on the paper. One word was about to burst out of the paper: "Check."

!”

The county magistrate's legs were a little weak, and he suddenly regretted recognizing this brother. Although he called him brother Rong, others never paid attention to him.

When the county magistrate came out, his face had returned to seriousness, and he said with the demeanor of a county magistrate: "Torture Li Chun, where exactly did the father and his son settle down before arriving in Qingshan Town?"

"Also, Li Kui was tortured and forced to confess, how many people he had killed, who his master was, and where the transaction was!"

Detective Zhang thought the case was about to be solved, but unexpectedly, the county magistrate's series of orders caught him off guard.

He looked at the magistrate who suddenly became more powerful, and couldn't help but look at the man sitting inside, wondering in his heart, could this be what the master said when he is close to red, he will be red, and if he is close to ink, he will be black?

Li Kui never thought that after more than ten years of committing crimes, he would stumble on a small iron shop.

He vaguely knew that he had met an incredible person this time, so he could only stay calm and wait for the opportunity to escape from prison.

But that person seemed to know him very well. The prison cell where he lived had reinforced iron chains that night, and food and drink were left in the cell. The cell door was not opened when meals were delivered, and only fist-sized buns were stuffed inside.

In order to make the officials relax, Li Kui even went so far as to eat rats alive, causing him to roll on the ground with a stomachache.

A doctor came in, fried the medicine in the pot, and then locked it again, adding another layer of iron chains to the cell door.

The county magistrate had not had time to torture him in the past few days, so they wanted to torture Li Chun first. Li Chun confessed that they lived in Huajie, Fucheng before. The magistrate and Rong Xuan took him into Fucheng, to Huajie, and asked him to identify his place.

A seven-year-old child already has a very good memory. He can clearly tell where he lived before.

The place had been rented out again, and it was a bit baffling to see Li Chun, a complete stranger.

The clue was lost.

The county magistrate sighed: "Brother Rong, shall we find an inn to rest first?"

Rong Xuan walked toward the street inside.

The county magistrate touched his nose and ignored me again.

Fucheng is very lively, and although Hua Street is not the central street, it is equally lively.

It was already the You hour, night had just fallen, and restaurants were everywhere, and the aroma was overwhelming.

The county magistrate looked at the brothels all over the street and suddenly said: "Flower Street, this is what it means."
