Chapter 50 Suspect Li Wen
In order to reduce his suspicion, Zhang Dabao wanted to conceal his relationship with Luo Sanfeng, adhering to the principle that family ugliness should not be publicized.

Therefore, he will make such a bad move.

But is it really what he says it is?
after listening to him
Liu Sheng recalled the appearance of seeing Luo Sanfeng's corpse. He was slightly fat, but his facial features were fairly straight. He was really good-looking, so it was no wonder that so many men had affairs with her.

Liu Sheng looked at Zhang Dabao who was kneeling on the ground with a look of remorse, and he didn't know whether he was really regretting that he had lost his footing to Luo Sanfeng, or something else.

He asked the master to prepare the paper, and said to Zhang Dabao:
"Besides you, who are Luo Sanfeng's other concubines, please tell me!"

Zhang Dabao didn't hesitate, he acted as if I was actively cooperating, even now that he was said to be the murderer, Liu Sheng would firmly believe it.

Zhang Dabao's words could not dispel Liu Sheng's suspicion of him.

But he didn't show it on the surface, but after the master book finished writing the names he read out, he kindly said to Zhang Dabao:
"You are an important witness now. If you go out, there is no guarantee that the murderer will attack you."

"So, for your safety, I will keep you in the county government office first, don't you want to?"

Just as Zhang Dabao wanted to say no, he was choked back by Liu Sheng.

"Don't worry, your wife's official will arrange for someone to notify you!" Liu Sheng helped him up with great emotion, and even patted the dust on his body:

"I will remember your contribution, and Datang will remember you Zhang Dabao even more."

"It's just that the cell is the safest in the county government now. You go in first, and you can come out when the murderer is caught."

Afterwards, Liu Sheng waved his hand to the Yamen servant to take him to the cell.

The county magistrate who was sorting out the files came forward and asked, "My lord, is Zhang Dabao suspected?"

The people in the yamen are always clear about the affairs of the yamen, how can they lock the witnesses in the cell for protection?

Liu Sheng exhaled, nodded slightly and said:

"I am skeptical about what he said just now, but there is no evidence, and it is still uncertain whether he is the murderer."

"However, there is indeed something suspicious about him."

After finishing speaking, Liu Sheng instructed the master book:
"Write down a few more copies of this list, and let the government servants go to Nanping Village to check and verify. Don't miss anything!"

"Yes, my lord!" The master book hurriedly asked someone to copy it, and the servants beside him had already sharpened their knives and waited for the errand to be dispatched.

Soon, after the master book copied these lists, the yamen servants left with the lists and went to Nanping Village to investigate and visit one after another.

Liu Sheng didn't follow along, that's not what he should do, the most important thing for him now is to wait for the news here.

"Your Excellency!" A yamen servant from Nanping Village came back, and they were the two sent by Liu Sheng to search Luo Sanfeng's house.

Liu Sheng waved his hand and asked hastily:
"What did you find?"

He knew these two people well, and he knew that they were both bold and careful people, so he sent them with confidence.

"My lord, I found traces of mess in Luo Sanfeng's house, it seems to be the crime scene!"

"And some fishing lines were found at the scene!"

Another person also added Da Dao: "And some silver jewelry was found in the cabinet of Luo Sanfeng's house, and it was not lost."

Liu Sheng rubbed his chin, it seems that the other party did not kill for money.

Being able to take away the ladder, but not the jewelry, is obviously not killing people for money.

The fishing line obviously matched the strangle marks on Luo Sanfeng's neck, and it was very likely that this was the tool used to commit the crime.

"Thank you, go down and record the details!"

The two hand over each other, and the master bookkeeper at the side immediately made arrangements.

Later, the other two government servants who cooperated with the village official's investigation also came back.

"My lord, the villagers of Nanping Village said that they did not see any suspicious person last night, and no one came to their village."

"Be careful and read it carefully. Muramasa did not threaten them. Obviously they were not forced."

Liu Sheng nodded and let the two go down.

The facts are getting clearer and the scope is getting more precise, but some key information is still missing.

After an hour, a new discovery was finally made.

"My lord, we visited the entire Nanping Village and discovered a suspicious incident!"

"And this matter is related to Zhang Dabao who came to report the crime!"

A yamen servant came back to report.

Liu Sheng frowned slightly, and said:

"what happened?"

The yamen servant did not hide anything, and quickly told what happened.

It turned out that among Luo Sanfeng's many concubines, there was a villager named Li Wen.

Zhang Dabao and this Li Wen had clashed many times, and after each conflict, Li Wen would run to Luo Sanfeng's house and make a fuss, threatening to kill Luo Sanfeng.

And just a few days ago, Zhang Dabao clashed with Li Wen, and Li Wen went to Luo Sanfeng's house to make a scene.

There must be some special connection between these three people, or some special event, and the connection is the key to solving the case.

and……

All signs indicated that this Li Wen had a strong motive for killing.

Without hesitation, Liu Sheng immediately ordered:

"Bring the suspect, Li Wen, and see if there are any tools in his home!"

"Yes, my lord!" The yamen servants had no time to rest and left immediately after receiving the order.

Datang Law didn't say that he couldn't search the suspect's home, so maybe he could find some clues.

Not long after, the servants brought Li Wen over.

The yamen servant still held a handful of fishing line in his hand, and submitted it:
"My lord, these are all found in Li Wen's home."

Liu Sheng put the fishing lines aside. These fishing lines were indeed the same thickness as the strangle marks on Luo Sanfeng's neck, and the other party had a close relationship with Li Wen.

Before Liu Sheng opened his mouth to ask, Li Wen cried out in a flustered expression:
"Master Guan, the villain was wronged, and the villain did not kill anyone!"

"Luo Sanfeng was not killed by the villain, the villain did not kill, my lord, you have to trust the villain!"

"grown ups……"

Liu Sheng didn't care about his pleading at all, although his pleading appearance was very pitiful, but the case was decided not by feeling, but by the facts.

It's impossible for him to let the other party go just because the other party is pitiful, isn't that nonsense.

Moreover, this Li Wen happened to be the panic-eyed man he saw in the crowd when he first went to Nanping Village.

Whether it's evidence or other signs, it shows that this Li Wen is suspected.

Liu Sheng knocked on the gavel heavily, and said loudly:
"Ascension!"

He planned to use normal methods, and under the deterrent interrogation, he would definitely see something was wrong.

As the yamen servants set up their postures, the county magistrate and other officials were assisting from the side, and there were constant crowds of people outside and watching.

The interrogation of the suspect Li Wen will now begin.
