Daming King of Punishment

"That's right! Just imagine, your man's wife, not to mention adultery, was raised by others. Isn't that a great shame?" Bai Zhuo continued.

This is absolutely true, such a thing is absolutely intolerable.

Song Wuya nodded: "Then, as long as this woman's identity is revealed, the murderer will definitely be found."

Suddenly, this originally difficult matter suddenly became clear, and it seemed very simple.But to put it bluntly, this matter is not that simple. After all, this woman has been disfigured, and it is definitely not an easy task to find out his identity.

Although it's a needle in a haystack, I'm afraid it won't be that difficult in this small city.

"Catcher Zhu, immediately investigate those gangsters in the city to see if they have wives, and if so, where are their wives?" Song Wuya thought of this, and immediately ordered Zhu Long.

Zhu Long also understood what Song Wuya was trying to do, but he still had doubts about Song Wuya's order.

"Master Song, why do you want to find those bastards?"

"This Zhu Long is notorious in the city, how could ordinary people make friends with him. I have asked his neighbors and heard him quarreling with someone in his own courtyard. The person who is willing to go to the Manniu courtyard must be Those bastards who hang out with him on weekdays." Song Wuya didn't think too much, and explained to Zhu Long.

Zhu Long nodded, and immediately said: "Yes, this subordinate will investigate right away."

"That's right." Seeing that he was in a hurry to leave, Song Wuya stopped him: "How is the investigation of the brothels in the city? Have any women been redeemed from brothels?"

"Come here!" Zhu Long didn't know about this matter, he immediately called out to his subordinates loudly: "I asked you to investigate the brothel, did you get any results?"

"Head arrest, the result has already been obtained. There are two brothels in the city, and a brothel woman has indeed been redeemed. I heard that the brothel woman's name is Chunhong, which can be regarded as the top card, and the time is just two years ago. Let the investigation time match." The yamen servant immediately reported the news.

This has to be said to be an exciting piece of good news. After everyone heard it, smiles appeared on their faces.

"Then who redeemed her?" Zhu Long couldn't wait to ask the person who redeemed the brothel girl named Chunhong.

"Reporting to my lord, the old bustard said it was redeemed by a bull." The yamen servant replied immediately.

Originally, they thought that they had found the murderer in this way.But what they didn't expect now was that the person who redeemed the brothel girl was actually a bull.

In this way, their original guess was immediately overwhelmed.

"No!" Bai Zhuo exclaimed suddenly: "Brother Wuya, I think the situation is not that simple. If the bull ransomed the woman, why didn't he bring her into his home? Isn't this going back to us again?" Is it something you were suspicious of before? It has been more than two years, I think the old bustard may not be able to remember it. Or maybe she has already guessed that the person who ransomed for Chunhong is the murderer, so she dare not say anything about it.”

"Yes! Brother Bai, what you said is correct." Song Wuya nodded in agreement: "Catcher Zhu, immediately investigate according to what I just said, maybe we will have a result soon."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it now." Zhu Long nodded in agreement, and immediately walked out.

After watching him leave, Bai Zhuo said again: "Brother Wu Ya, there is one more thing that I am very puzzled about."

"Brother Bai just say it." Song Wuya said with a smile when he heard that Bai Zhuo still had doubts.

It has to be said that Bai Zhuo is able to grasp a lot of details to reason about the case now.Quite a few times, he was able to make major discoveries.As the saying goes, people should look at each other with admiration after three days, and Bai Zhuo is no longer the original Bai Zhuo.

"If this bull is involved in the matter of the water ghost, why doesn't he have any property at home?" Bai Zhuo expressed his doubts.

It has to be said that this is indeed a noteworthy issue. Man Niu's family is so impoverished that he didn't even find a single piece of silver, which is a bit too unusual.

"I noticed that there is a bank in this small town, maybe he deposited the money in the bank." Song Wuya couldn't imagine where the bull hid the money, so that's all he could say .

The two of them were talking here, and the county magistrate, who had never shown up, ran out from the back hall at this time.

"The two lords are here. I am sorry to welcome you, forgive me!" The county magistrate shouted loudly, and then came to the two of them, knelt down and saluted them.

Looking at the look on the county magistrate's face, it seems that he still hasn't recovered from what happened yesterday.

"Lord county magistrate, can the guy who framed the two of us confess?" Song Wuya ignored the county magistrate's politeness, but directly asked about the case.

Chapter 556 Something Odd

"This guy is very stubborn. He just doesn't admit that he knows Man Niu."

When the county magistrate was asked such a question by Song Wuya, he immediately showed a look of helplessness, which showed that there was no progress on this matter.

Song Wuya just nodded lightly. After all, in his opinion, the county magistrate said so, as to whether he would ask that guy, it's not certain.

"In this case, let's close it first, and we'll talk about it later." Song Wuya took a deep breath and walked into the courtroom. He had stood outside for long enough, and the sun above his head had been basking in the sun all the time, so he felt embarrassed. My back is sweating. "Does the magistrate know about the water ghost?"

"I know, I know, I know naturally." The county magistrate admitted without the slightest hesitation.

After finding a chair and sitting down, Song Wuya continued, "Then what does the county magistrate think about this water ghost?"

"Reporting to my lord, the matter of the water ghost is just a rumor, and it is difficult for the lower officials to judge whether it is true or not." The county magistrate shook his head, "The matter of the water ghost is nothing more than the people encountering some sunken ships in the river. They saw that the sunken ship was not damaged, but all sank in the water, and they couldn't understand such things, so they rumored that it was a water ghost."

Hearing what he said, Song Wuya frowned immediately.

Seeing Song Wuya's expression changed slightly, the county magistrate changed the topic immediately: "However, it's not that the lower officials don't pay attention to the matter of water ghosts. Things are not enough to settle it!"

Although Song Wuya was very dissatisfied with what the county magistrate said, but what he said was true. After all, the case must have the conditions to be established, but now it doesn't exist at all.

Song Wuya didn't criticize the county magistrate, but said earnestly: "Master county magistrate, serving as an official will benefit one side. Such strange things have happened in this place. As a county magistrate, you have to think about it for the people. Regardless of whether this matter is rumored by the people or not, it is well-founded. I think it is better for you to investigate. No matter what the matter is, you must give the people an explanation so that they can feel at ease. In this way, presumably the people I will definitely be grateful to you, magistrate."

"Master Song taught that." The county magistrate had good eyesight, and immediately nodded his head yes, without refuting.

Obviously, it was completely meaningless to tell the county magistrate about this matter, and Song Wuya simply stopped talking about water ghosts with him.

"Have the autopsy results on the body of Man Niu and the other female body come out?" Song Wuya changed the topic to Man Niu again.

The county magistrate nodded, and immediately turned around to take some letterheads from the official case, and handed them to Song Wuya.

"Oh? From this point of view, the wounds on the two corpses are consistent, and they should all come from the scissors. Not only that, there are no other wounds on the whole body, and they were killed by one blow. What does the county magistrate think about this? ?" After reading the autopsy results, Song Wuya handed it to Bai Zhuo and asked the county magistrate.

The county magistrate's complexion was not very good-looking anymore, and Song Wuya's repeated inquiries almost made him a little overwhelmed.

"This... I have never encountered such a situation before, so I dare not make a judgment. However, I feel that this murderer is probably not an ordinary citizen. After killing two people, they can be killed with one blow. Some scissors, maybe this man is a killer."

Although his face was not very good-looking, the county magistrate had no choice but to answer Song Wuya's question, so he could only speak out what was in his heart.

"The county magistrate is right, he thought of something with me. This murderer must not be a mortal. Presumably even if he is not a killer, he should have killed many people and knows how to kill with one blow." Song Wuya nodded, affirming The county magistrate guessed.

When he said this, the county magistrate was shocked: "What? Mr. Song is saying that the murderer carried more than these two lives?"

"Yes." Song Wuya nodded. At this time, if we continue to talk about this matter, we have to talk about that water ghost. "Have you ever thought about the water ghosts outside the city, magistrate? If someone caused those shipwrecks, where did the people on board go?"

The question Song Wuya asked again caused the county magistrate's face to change suddenly, and cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead.

"Killed!"

He hesitated and said it.

"That's right." Song Wuya was very sure, and when he said this, he stood up: "According to Zhu Tutou's investigation, this barbarian cow is not usually spreading rumors and cheating in this city, and some of the time it is out of the city. Not only that, but after Man Niu left the city and came back a few days later, there were incidents of water ghosts, and there may be some connection between them."

Song Wuya simply said all his judgments, and the county magistrate was so startled that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.
