Chapter 31 Lu Renjia pleads guilty

Ji Yutang informed Xie Huaichu of Lu Zheng's words.

Xie Huaichu was a little confused: "You said Mr. Lu was particularly enthusiastic?"

"Yes." Ji Yutang said, "Does he have a daughter at home? Does he like you and want you to be his son-in-law?"

Xie Huaichu was stunned. Lu Zheng really had a daughter at home! And there is more than one. His family has three daughters and one son, and all three daughters are of marriageable age.

"Isn't it?" Ji Yutang guessed the truth by looking at his expression, "Do you really like you? That's okay, Mr. Xie, you are so charming. Hey, I heard that you are known as the "Jade-faced Man of Bianjing" "He is a famous handsome man. The young lady who likes you will line up from the foot of the Imperial City to the outside of Bianjing City. It is not surprising that Mr. Lu's daughter has taken a liking to you."

Xie Huaichu lowered his face and said, "No."

"What's the matter? Mr. Lu's daughter is still not worthy of you?" Ji Yutang asked.

"Don't talk about whether these are available or not. Let's go see the progress of Fang Wu's case." After that, no matter what Ji Yutang wanted to say, he hurriedly went to find Lu Zheng.

Seeing his resistance, Ji Yutang stopped talking about the matter and silently followed him to find Lu Zheng.

At this time, Lu Zheng's men had already questioned everyone in Zuixianglou, and basically placed the suspicion on Lu Renjia.

Xie Huaichu asked Lu Zheng: "Master Lu, what are the results of the autopsy?"

Lu Zheng replied: "Wu Zuo said that the real cause of Fang Wu's death was pufferfish poisoning, not suffocation due to vomit covering his mouth and nose. Then I asked Wu Zuo to test what Fang Wu had eaten, and he did eat one. Puffer fish soup, but there is no poison in the soup.”

"Then it is undoubtedly murder." Xie Huaichu said thoughtfully, "But if there is no poison in the soup, how did the murderer let Fang Wu eat the poison?"

"The murderer must be someone close to him, or someone who is not easily guarded. Only in this way can Fang Wu ingest the poison without knowing it." Lu Zheng added.

Ji Yutang suggested: "When the first-instance murder case occurred, who were the people around Fang Wu?"

Lu Zhengdao: "I have already asked my subordinates to go to trial, and the confession will be sent over later."

Lu Zheng's men worked very efficiently. After half a stick of incense, a big man covered in tendons walked in and said in a naive voice: "Sir, I have interrogated them one by one. The waiter at the waiter said that Fang Wu and Lu Renjia We had dinner together, and when we were about to leave at the end, we met the damselfly from the clothing store near the stairs on the first floor. Fang Wu vomited all over the floor. , the damselfly stabbed a few words, Lu Renjia quarreled with her a few times, and the onlookers were attracted to it, and did not notice that Fang Wu fell to death on the stairs. The whole incident was like this, and then I interrogated Lu again. Renjia, he said that he ate whatever Fang Wu ate. They both ate exactly the same thing, there was no difference.”

Ji Yutang had a gut feeling that there was something wrong with Lu Renjia. She suddenly remembered that the diners had told her the gossip about Lu Renjia and the damselfly, and a thought arose in her mind: "I heard from the diners at Zuixianglou that Lu Renjia had been engaged to the damselfly before. Later, the quarrel was disgraceful and the two separated. Did Damniang and Fang Wu have any contact? "

The big man was rough and tumble, and he really investigated this aspect: "Yes! Fangwu doesn't look like a bear, but he has a lot of troubles in his heart. He once harassed the damselfly. At that time, Lu Renjia was still He didn’t break off his engagement with Damniang, and Fang Wu got a good beating for it.”

"Ms. Ji, do you think there's something fishy about this?" Lu Zheng asked.

Ji Yutang nodded: "I always feel that Lu Renjia and Damselfly are not as incompatible as they seem."

She turned to look at Xie Huaichu and asked him: "Mr. Losing temper without showing any sign of disgust Love. According to common sense, you would feel uncomfortable if you were hit by someone you hate, but Damselfly didn't feel the slightest disgust. "Yes, I saw it at the time. It was a bit unreasonable." .”

"Then we will interrogate Lu Renjia again." Lu Zhengdao.

Soon, they went to see Lu Renjia together. Lu Renjia was ordered to stay alone in a box on the second floor. At this time, he was restless and looked out of the window from time to time.

"Lu Renjia, do you have any conflict with Fang Wu?" Lu Zheng ordered someone to open the box, went in and found a chair to sit on, and naturally crossed his legs.

When Lu Renjia saw Lu Zheng coming to ask questions in person, he hurriedly approached and saluted: "Ah, Mr. Lu, Fang Wu and I have been friends for many years. Is there no conflict? Mr. Lu, do you suspect that I killed Fang Wu?" Wu? This is mine. I wouldn't dare even if I had ten guts! Fang Wu's family is powerful, and I'm just an ordinary businessman. If I can make friends with him, it's like smoke rising from the ancestral grave. I'm happy before it's too late. Why should I kill him? Huh?”

His sincere confession, coupled with his aggrieved expression about to cry, seemed somewhat credible. However, Lu Zheng and the others have experienced strong winds and waves and will not be easily fooled.

"Why do you want to kill him? I know a little bit about the inside story." Lu Zheng chuckled, picked up the folding fan and knocked it on the table. His voice suddenly became sharp: "Fang Wu has evil intentions and pretends to be good brothers with you." Flag, repeatedly harassing your fiancée Damselfly. In order to protect Damselfly, you broke off your engagement with her, thinking that Damselfly would never have anything to do with Fangwu from now on. Unexpectedly, you were playing into Fangwu's plan and made it easier for him to attack Damselfly, so you became angry. Kill Fang Wu, right?”

Lu Renjia's expression changed: "No, no! I didn't kill Fang Wu! He was poisoned by pufferfish, but the pufferfish soup we ate today was very clean and not poisonous. And everything we ate was the same. , I’m still fine. If I killed Fang Wu, wouldn’t I have eaten something poisonous like him? But I’m still fine, I didn’t kill him!”

Xie Huaichu chuckled: "After the incident, you were temporarily detained here in isolation and had no chance to contact the outside world. And we just found out that Fang Wu died of being poisoned by puffer fish. How did you know so clearly? ?”

Lu Renjia's face turned red, green and purple, as if he had knocked over a paint bottle: "You defrauded me!"

Xie Huaichu shrugged: "Which law in Daxia stipulates that fraud is not allowed?"

Ji Yutang couldn't help but laugh out loud. Usually, he only saw Xie Huaichu's dignified and solemn image. It was rare to see him look a bit childish and naughty.

Lu Zheng knocked on the table again: "Lu Renjia, I advise you to confess quickly to avoid being punished."

Lu Renjia struggled for a moment, and finally said in frustration: "Yes, it's me. Mr. Lu, your guess is right. This bitch Fang Wu wants to harm the damselfly, so I retreated from her for the sake of the damselfly's safety." We agreed to the engagement, but he didn’t change his lust. Today, after I bumped into the damselfly in Zuixianglou, he even revealed that he coveted the damselfly. I was so angry that I went to the kitchen of Zuixianglou to throw it at them. I collected the toxins from the discarded puffer fish guts and applied them to a needle to prick Fang Wu. He drank too much and vomited all over the floor. I deliberately argued with the damselfly so that everyone would ignore him falling to the ground. This would usually happen. I mistakenly thought that he was suffocated by vomit, so he wouldn't find out that it was me. But I didn't expect that Mr. Lu was aware of everything and discovered my plan."

After Lu Renjia said this, his whole figure was like a depleted balloon, and he knelt down softly on the ground, covering his face and sobbing. He was so tall that he looked like a hill when he knelt on the ground.

"This case was solved just like that?" Ji Yutang couldn't believe it was so smooth. She looked at Xie Huaichu, who said that she thought it was too smooth.

Lu Zheng waved his hand: "Don't think too much. This is not one of those convoluted cases in the palace. Most of them were committed by ordinary people. There are not so many conspiracies."

Ji Yutang thought for a moment, pretended to be comforting, and stepped forward to pat Lu Renjia on the shoulder: "A manly man, you are also trying to protect the damselflies..."

[Host, come and eat melon! Lu Renjia, who looks like a bear, is not as honest as he appears. Do you know what kind of business their family does? In order not to be discovered when they were reselling private salt, their family also specially sent young girls to high-ranking officials and bribed them to ensure that their family's business was prosperous. 】

Ji Yutang swallowed back his comforting words.
