Datang: Changle, I really don’t have any private money for my husband

Chapter 51 Deadlock
After a while, they saw that the Chang'an county magistrate had begun to be promoted, and the people were very curious.

So they gathered and watched. After all, the last time Liu Sheng settled the case like a cloud and water was very impressive, and the people remembered this young county magistrate.

"My fellow, what's the reason for this?"

Someone obviously didn't know the truth, so when they saw Li Wen in court, they couldn't help asking.

"This is a murder case!"

"Murder case? Who's dead? We haven't had a murder case in Chang'an County for a long time!"

"I heard that it was Luo Sanfeng, a widow from Nanping Village. I heard that she was hanged to death. She died in a terrible way, and her tongue stretched out."

"It's so scary! It seems that we will have to go less to Nanping Village in the future."

"Yes, yes, has the murderer been caught?" Obviously everyone was concerned.

"Not yet, isn't the county magistrate under trial?"

"The case will be resolved soon. Our county magistrate is no good. The suspect will be arrested and brought to justice soon!"

"Master Guan is really a good official. He has solved so many cases. This case will definitely be solved soon!"

The common people had a high level of trust in Liu Sheng, and they looked inside to see how magistrate Liu would interrogate the case.

Liu Sheng didn't use fancy methods this time, but directly interrogated while intimidating:
"Li Wen, you are guilty!"

"Did you kill Luo Sanfeng, the widow of Nanping Village?"

Li Wen kept cupping his hands, crying, "Master Guan, even if you have ten guts, the villain would not dare to kill anyone!"

"Oh, really?"

"Then why did you find the exact same fishing line as yours in Luo Sanfeng's house? Do you know that the strangle mark on Luo Sanfeng's neck was also caused by fishing line!"

Whether it is or not, it must be in front of the suspect.

Unfortunately, Li Wen truthfully said:

"Master Guan, the fishing line in Luo Sanfeng's house was given to him by a villain, my lord, it really has nothing to do with a villain, my lord!"

Liu Sheng patted the gavel and said seriously:

"quiet!"

Li Wen and the people outside the scene were quiet, and Liu Sheng still looked at Li Wen.

"Nanping Village doesn't rely on the river. Why are there so many fishing lines in your house?"

Li Wen hastily explained:
"The villain usually likes fishing, so I have prepared a lot of fishing lines at home. The fishing lines in Luo Sanfeng's house are all used by the villain for the soles of her shoes!"

"My lord, the villain really didn't tell lies!"

Liu Sheng leaned back in his chair, he was invulnerable, either the opponent could pretend better than Zhang Dabao, or the opponent was the murderer.

At this moment, the county magistrate at the side handed over the results of the investigation by the yamen servants.

Liu Sheng took it, and looked at it, it did say that Li Wen likes to fish, and his mistress needs some fishing line, so it's obviously not a big deal to give him some.

Everything was said smoothly, obviously the other party did not lie.

However, Liu Sheng looked at the results of the investigation on Li Wen at the bottom, raised his head and asked again:

"Suspect Li Wen, some villagers said that you were not at home yesterday, and you didn't know where you went. You just came home this morning."

"Besides, Luo Sanfeng also died last night, so this timing is too coincidental!"

"Li Wen, can you explain?"

"Master Guan, I went to my brother-in-law's house. Because it was late at night, I stayed at my brother-in-law's house for one night. I came back after breakfast this morning!"

Li Wen replied nervously, trembling all over.

"Really, what a coincidence!" The corners of Liu Sheng's mouth curled up. The more he knew, it meant that one of them was wrong, and he could break through the opponent's psychological defense.

A lie always needs countless lies to cover up, Liu Sheng didn't panic at all.

The two suspects had a lot of doubts about them, which made Liu Sheng even think that they were working together to commit the crime.

While asking the yamen servant to investigate, he asked the last question:

"Suspect Li Wen, do you know Zhang Dabao?"

"Know...know."

"It's good to know each other." Liu Sheng didn't think the other party would deny it, otherwise he would be too stupid, "I heard that you and Zhang Dabao have conflicts, and every time you two have conflicts, you will go to Luo Sanfeng's house They made a big fuss, and even threatened to kill Luo Sanfeng!"

Li Wen raised his head immediately when he heard the words, and when he was about to refute, Liu Sheng interrupted him:
"A few days ago, you also had a conflict with Zhang Dabao, and you went to Luo Sanfeng's house to quarrel again. Are you keeping your promise, so you killed Luo Sanfeng?"

When Li Wen heard this, he knelt down with a plop, trembling uncontrollably and said:
"My lord, the villain really didn't kill anyone!"

"It's all Zhang Dabao, he obviously has a wife, and he's also Luo Sanfeng's concubine!"

"It's all Zhang Dabao's fault, Luo Sanfeng was killed by Zhang Dabao!"

Liu Sheng immediately sat up straight, looking at Li Wen with sharp eyes, "You said Luo Sanfeng was killed by Zhang Dabao, did you see it with your own eyes, or do you have evidence?"

Facing Liu Sheng's question, Li Wen paused immediately, and then said in a low voice:
"The villain has no evidence, but the villain thinks that Zhang Dabao did it, and only he will kill Luo Sanfeng!"

"Can you give the basis for your guess, or do you simply think that Zhang Dabao killed Luo Sanfeng?" Liu Sheng asked impatiently.

When Li Wen heard this, he was speechless in an instant, and he didn't even have a basis for guessing.

After all, Zhang Dabao is also Luo Sanfeng's concubine, so it is unlikely that he will kill Luo Sanfeng.

Liu Sheng then asked:

"I'm curious, what's the conflict between you and Zhang Dabao? There have been conflicts several times in succession, and you even went to Luo Sanfeng's house to make trouble?"

Li Wen seemed ashamed, he really couldn't get rid of his suspicion, so even in the face of so many onlookers, he still said:
"My feelings for Luo Sanfeng are real, I just hope she doesn't have so many mistresses, but she didn't agree."

Speaking of this, Li Wen's voice was obviously quieter, "At that time, I only knew that Zhang Dabao was her concubine, so I went to Zhang Dabao to reason and told him not to look for Luo Sanfeng again."

"But Zhang Dabao refused, so I quarreled with him, and then..."

Liu Sheng was startled, and everyone in the county government was also shocked, especially the people onlookers.

Unexpectedly, this Li Wen is still a kind of love, and has feelings for Luo Sanfeng, so he went to persuade Zhang Dabao to leave Luo Sanfeng.

It's just that treating the symptoms but not the root cause has no effect.

After all, they are all concubines, so it's up to you, and Luo Sanfeng can't give up the whole forest for a single grass.

But Liu Sheng has seen and listened to the love-to-hate situation, and he knows that this naturally cannot remove the other party's suspicion.

But judging from the results of the interrogation, Li Wen didn't seem to be lying, which made Liu Sheng's heart sink.

In this way, the case reached a bottleneck period.
