Chapter 39: Hidden Corpse in the House
The man in black was horrified. Just as he was about to step back, he felt a chill behind him, and goosebumps all over his body immediately exploded.
He ignored Zhou Zhao's flying kick and rolled to the side, avoiding Liu Huang's thick golden ring knife behind him. He rolled directly to the door and rushed out, disappearing almost instantly. Without a trace.
"Azhao, are you okay?"
Zhou Zhao wiped off the blood beads on his face and shook his head.
She moved her feet, and there was a green jade pendant pressed under her feet, with the word "成" written in small seals on it.
Zhou Zhao's eyes moved and he looked at Liu Huang, "It's just the right time. Let's go find someone to collect the debt."
As she spoke, she jumped off the bed. Because she had to be wary of someone attacking her at night, she and Liu Huang slept together in the same clothes. It was convenient to go out now.
The yard was still quiet, except for Xie Laosi's door opened a crack.
Zhou Zhao opened the door unceremoniously and walked in. The room was empty, with nothing but a bed, like a snow cave.
Xie Laosi was squatting on the ground, burning paper money and lighting incense in an earthen basin. When he heard Zhou Zhao push the door open, he turned to look at her with a complicated expression.
Zhou Zhao grinned and waved to Xie Laosi, "Hey, burn paper for me! But I won't be able to collect it until I die, how about you just give me the money?"
When Xie Laosi heard this, his mind went blank.
There are still such shameless people in the world!
"You don't need money, but you need a life! If you don't die today, it doesn't mean you won't die tomorrow. If you don't die tomorrow, it doesn't mean you won't die the next day. How can you, a girl, just come to a stranger's room in the middle of the night? It's harmful to say that you're going out. Clear reputation.”
Zhou Zhao clicked her tongue twice and glanced at Liu Huang, who decisively closed the door.
He was wearing a bamboo hat and leaning against the door with his back, as at ease as a door god attached to the wall.
Xie Laosi suddenly looked unkind. He stared at Zhou Zhao fiercely, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Zhao squatted down by the brazier, picked up a bunch of paper money and threw it into the brazier, "Although I can't receive it, those people who were killed by Cheng Ming because of you can receive it. They are probably crying by the Naihe Bridge right now. The one who killed me is a rare kind-hearted person in Tianying City.”
Xie Laosi's pupils suddenly shrank, and his hands moved towards his waist.
But he got nothing! He looked horrified and looked towards Zhou Zhao, only to see that his judge's pen had fallen into the hands of the little girl at some point. At this moment, she was using the judge's pen as a fire pick and was stirring it in the basin. Dial away.
While Zhou Zhao was stirring the fire, he carefully observed the bluestone bricks paved in the house. Each piece was regular and the floor was scrubbed very clean.
Suddenly, Zhou Zhao's gaze paused, stopping on one of the pieces for a moment, and then moved away again.
"You have no evidence, so don't talk nonsense! Cheng Ming is not someone to be trifled with!"
Zhou Zhao raised her eyes to look at Xie Laosi, and saw that his heart was pounding. She shook her head, "It's not easy to provoke him. You haven't provoked him. Don't pretend to be fierce for people like you. Cry if you want to." Come on! There are only two people here. My brother doesn’t like to laugh, so I’m the only one laughing at you.”
Seeing that Xie Laosi was confused and confused, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
"The injuries on your body were all caused by the village master with a branding iron! There are old injuries and new injuries, which shows that she hates you very much. So, I guess she was the one who forcibly brought you to Tianying City. Why? ?Hmm..."
Zhou Zhao paused and saw that Xie Laosi looked like he had been struck by lightning, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Well, such deep hatred should come from the child of the village leader who died young."
No one knows how to sting the heart better than the enemy.
What did the people from Tianxu Village mention when they angered the people from Tiandou Village today? It was "the dead, hairy child of the village owner", and he also said that the child had been stolen.
"The body of the child of the leader of the village was stolen by you, right? She forced you to torture you, so you have a new brand and blisters on your waist. You didn't want to reveal anything, so she used Cheng Ming threatening you with the lives of innocent people is nothing to others in Tianying City.”
"But for you, who used to be a parent, this is something that can drive you crazy."
"With your ability, you can't do this by yourself, so you have an accomplice. That accomplice is Sun Youshan, who is even more dissatisfied with Cheng."
"And that corpse," Zhou Zhao said, walked to the bluestone slab that he had noticed something strange before, and burned it with the red-hot judge's pen, "it should be here!"
< br>
Xie Laosi felt that if the eye sockets could grow infinitely, then a pair of his eyeballs would have rolled to the ground by now.
He stretched out his hand and touched his forehead. He didn't know since when, his forehead had been covered with sweat.
His lips trembled slightly and he looked at Zhou Zhao in front of him as if he were looking at a ghost. "Who are you? You just entered Tianying City today. Just this morning, I saw Granny Zhang cheating you." Come here.”
"How could you...how could you..."

Zhou Zhao raised his eyebrows, "How could I know so much? Of course I guessed it. You are concerned about the woman's reputation. When I said that the murderer was Cheng Ming, the first thing you thought of was to find evidence. .”
"Except for officials who are obsessed with solving cases and need evidence, for the criminals in Tianying City, they can just chop them back. Where do they need any evidence?"
Of course, what she didn't say was that among the names of people in Tianying City that Qianmian gave her today, there was Xie Laosi in front of her, who was once a local official.
"Xie Laosi, don't I need to say more about the rest? Once I pry open this bluestone tile, I will be able to find the child's body hidden inside."
Xie Laosi opened his mouth. He was surprised for a while, decadent for a while, and finally his eyes were red.
He couldn't deny that the child's body was hidden there.
"People are really different from each other. My father always said that I have a dull talent and a rigid personality. If I investigate a case, I can easily be deceived by others, leading to unjust, false, and wrongful convictions."
"I have always kept my heart and been very cautious, but because of my lack of ability, I have put myself in a place of no return."
He said, shaking his head, a bit of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"I'm curious, how did you know that the child's body was hidden here? They secretly searched it several times but couldn't find it. How did you guess that Sun Youshan joined forces with me?"
Xie Laosi became a little excited as he spoke, but he had not lost his mind yet, so he lowered his voice and spoke.
"I don't even understand that using the death of an innocent person to force me to submit is such an unreasonable thing. Apart from the crazy woman named Cheng, there are other people who can think of it!"
"And I..." Xie Laosi's voice was a little dry, "After so many years, I still haven't found any evidence to convince the leader of the village that my previous judgment was correct. Her husband Li Zhan killed her son. The real murderer.”
