"What?"

Before Lu Baichuan could speak, the officer next to him was shocked.

That shouldn’t be the case. The group of people who came here were all arrested, and no suspicious people were found entering elsewhere.

Could it be that Ouyang Hao really committed suicide out of fear of crime?

Absolutely impossible!

How could such a cowardly, cowardly, and fearful person do something to harm himself?

Lu Baichuan thought so too, so he planned to go and see it in person.

Ouyang Hao was indeed dead, his eyes were wide open, his lips were black, and there was blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.

This looks like he was poisoned, and judging from his widened eyes, it is absolutely impossible to commit suicide.

"What do you think, Master Pan?"

Master Pan is the prefect, and the prefect also rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and also brought his wife.

"It can't be as simple as bib committing suicide. Xiaguan has dealt with Ouyang Hao before. He is timid by nature and will never commit suicide."

"This There are too many doubts, so we have to catch the person behind the scenes."

The prefect sighed, feeling that this day was really annoying, and the previous things had not been found out, and now this happened again New trouble.

Lu Baichuan nodded. The prefect had the same idea as him, so it would be easy to handle.

He turned his head and glanced at the family members crying beside him. Without saying anything, he asked people to carry Ouyang Hao's body away first.

The prefect followed him out, and when he reached a place where there was no one else, he asked: "General, who do you think did this?"

Lu Baichuan looked at him calmly. He said: "Lord Pan has already made a guess in his mind, so why bother asking me?"

The prefect hurriedly shook his head: "I have some guesses, but I'm not sure who they are."

He looked at Lu Baichuan and saw that Lu Baichuan had no intention of speaking, so he continued: "The official just thinks that this is not something a professional killer would do. He knew it was a homicide at a glance, but he insisted that it was a suicide out of fear of crime. It’s too far-fetched.”

“The lower official thinks it might be someone from the government who did it, but I’m not sure who it is, so I can only investigate slowly.”

There are so many people in this mansion, it will take a long time to check them one by one.

At this time, someone came to report: "Sir, the third son of the Ouyang family has become seriously ill and is gone."

Lu Baichuan grasped the key point: "When did it happen? ”

　“An hour ago.”

Lu Baichuan had something in his mind and looked at the prefect. The prefect immediately understood: "I understand, let's go check it out!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with the people.

As a mother, her child passed away an hour ago. She did not arrange funeral arrangements, nor did she stay with her child. Instead, she immediately discovered that her husband had committed suicide out of fear of crime.

Yes, the news that Ouyang Hao committed suicide out of fear of crime was released by his wife Lin.

Just now, I cried heartbrokenly next to the corpse, but I didn’t mention the death of my youngest son from illness at all.

This is weird no matter how you look at it.

Then, why did Mrs. Lin kill Ouyang Hao? Moreover, she said that Ouyang Hao committed suicide out of fear of crime. Could it be that she was the one who had been cooperating with Xu Zhao?

The prefect took people to interrogate Mrs. Lin in person. Mrs. Lin was tough at first and insisted that Ouyang Hao committed suicide out of fear of crime.

"What do you know about committing suicide out of fear of crime?"

The prefect was not a fool, so he followed Lin's words and continued to ask.

In order to celebrate his suspicion, Mrs. Lin naturally knew everything: "He has no ability. He is worried that the old man will not give him the family property. This time someone wants to harm the old man and let the person outside take the blame." , and promised him benefits, and he agreed after a moment of hesitation. Although he did not kill the old man, he was watching not far away, so he was able to find out that the old man had been harmed at the first time."

"He originally thought that he could leave the matter to the person outside who took the blame. Who would have thought that that person would not be easy to deal with. He found the two brothers just one night. He began to worry, thinking that instead of being convicted and beheaded, , it was better to solve it by myself, so I committed suicide out of fear of guilt."

The woman's words were reasonable and well-founded, making it difficult for people to find anything wrong.

But the more this happens, the more people feel that there are many problems.

The prefect asked several tricky questions, and Mrs. Lin finally couldn't stand it anymore and cried: "That's all his business, how can I, a woman, know about it?"
< br />"Now that he is dead and the suspicion on the person outside has been cleared, sir, why do you still have to embarrass me, a housewife?"

She wiped her face, as if she was hurt. It feels like a huge grievance.

When the prefect saw that she was still arrogant now, he immediately said: "Let's torture her."

Mrs. Lin originally thought that since she had told everything she knew, she should be fine. , I didn’t expect that the prefect would torture me when he opened his mouth, and he was instantly shocked.

Seeing those terrible prisoners being carried up, Mrs. Lin was a little scared and couldn't help but step back, but was held down by two 9 officers and knelt on the ground.good.

The prefect gave good advice: "Mrs. Ouyang, if you still don't tell the truth, these instruments of torture will really fall on you."

"I, I What he said is all the truth..."

Mrs. Lin felt guilty for a moment and did not dare to look at the prefect's face.

The prefect continued: "If you tell the truth now, I can still give you a lighter sentence. If I find evidence later and you talk back, then you are acting in accordance with the law."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. When you came here, I had already sent people to investigate the cause of Ouyang Hao's death. I also interrogated the servants around you. I believe someone will soon be unable to bear it. To tell the truth, it will be useless for you to regret it when the time comes."

Mrs. Lin was frightened. She knew that her methods were not very clever. If someone really told her later, then she would There would not be such treatment as now.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, tears fell from her eyes.

"I did kill the person, but what I said before is true. He nodded his head to the old man's death."

The prefect looked aside. The person who remembered the incident saw him nodding, and then asked: "Why did you kill your husband?"

"Why? Of course it was because he hated him! My son was about to die, and he still only cared about it every day. Those family properties even wanted to exchange my son's life for these things! As I said before, the female doctor would help my son treat his illness. During this period, my son recovered very well and could even walk. But he took advantage of it. The old man’s death harmed the couple and ruined his son’s life!”

“As soon as the old man died, the family property naturally passed into his hands. He didn’t care about my son’s life or death, and said that as long as he lived, If he wants it, he will have many more sons. This black-hearted bitch, if I kill him, I will do something good for the people!"

When her son became ill, she went to Ouyang Hao to explain everything. Due to a misunderstanding, Jiang Jiuniang was invited to treat her son, but the woman turned out to be hard-hearted and said that her son should have died long ago and that he would suffer while alive. He even asked her to bury her son somewhere casually. He was a child anyway and did not need to enter the ancestral grave.

No mother could listen to such words, so she immediately found rat poison and put it in the tea, and watched Ouyang Hao drink it with her own eyes.
