Chapter 480 Harvest
The reason is very simple, no one would be willing to put all their eggs in one basket for official business and bet the lives of the whole family.

Only when it is related to his life and death, is it possible to take risks.

"One more question," Lao Liu Dingding looked at Liu Meng, and asked in a deep voice: "On the first day of the new year, did the inspector ask you to make a statement?"

"It's recorded." Liu Meng said without hesitation, "It was the Deputy Envoy Feng who recorded it himself."

"You told him that someone called your name and asked if Liu Canzheng has gone home?" Lao Liu asked.

"Well, at that time, I really expected them to find out the cause of my uncle's death, so there must be something to say." Liu Meng said with wide eyes.

The sixth child and his uncle looked at each other with excitement.

The latter then asked: "As usual, after the statement is recorded, the interrogating officer and the writing clerk are required to sign and mark the deposit, and finally ask you to press the fingerprint. Before you pressed the fingerprint, did you see them sign the deposit?"

"It's been signed, and I saw that they put my statement in a box for filing." Liu Meng is usually responsible for helping Liu Lian to collect official documents and classify them for safekeeping, so he is naturally very knowledgeable.

"Is there any other confession in that box?" Hu Quan asked.

"Yes, I was the last one. They first asked the people who were in Cao Shenzheng's house at that time, and then they thought of asking me." Liu Mengdao: "When I saw my share was put in, there was a thick layer underneath. Stacked."

"But only your statement is gone, and the rest are there." Lao Liu said lightly.That day, he also asked Zeng Tai to go to the cabinet, and after checking, he found that there was no statement from Liu Meng in the original file.

And the most nonsensical thing is that in the "Inquiry Report" written by Deputy Envoy Na Feng, it is clearly stated that there are a total of 36 relevant people who have been questioned.It exactly matches the number of confessions in the file!

"There is a problem with the surname Feng." Hu Quan said in a deep voice: "I guess he also saw the problem from Liu Meng's confession, and he couldn't smear and tamper with it, so he simply took it out."

Normally speaking, there would be no problem doing this, because Liu Meng is not a key witness, but just a routine questioning.Moreover, he was not at the scene of the crime. As long as no one heard what he said and got clues from it, the surname Feng would not reveal his secrets.

But he is really stupid, even if he doesn't know the prestige of His Highness King Chu, he should know the name of Liu Lian's father.How could these two ancestors let him get away with it?
~~
The second senior brother knew no more than Lao Liu. After exchanging information, Lao Liu asked Liu Kong to lead them to the wall adjacent to Cao Shenzheng's house.

The sixth child saw that the height was okay, so he declined the ladder and climbed up with hands and feet.

His uncle led people to watch nervously below, lest the clumsy Highness slip and fall.

Fortunately, although pandas are stupid, they climb trees very steadily.The sixth child climbed over the wall without any risk, and landed in Cao Canzheng's house, which was empty.

Hu Quan and the others hurriedly turned over and brought Liu Kong over.

Zhu Zhen asked Liu Kong to lead him, and went around the scene, and found that it was indeed as Zeng Tai said, that the well was located far away from the passage between the hut and the flower hall, and there was a door separating it.

An old-fashioned respectful gentleman like Eldest Brother, even if he is drunk, will never push the door through other people's homes and wander around.

In addition, the passage between the hut and the flower hall is a covered corridor, and it is connected in a straight line, so there is no possibility of getting lost.

"Someone must have lured him here." His uncle said in a deep voice.

Zhu Zhen nodded, and the two of them pushed open the courtyard door again, turned three times and came to the well located in the northeast corner of the courtyard.

Standing by the well and looking around, I can only see the courtyard wall and trees, which cover the place tightly, so I really don't need to be afraid of being seen when I start.

"There is a problem." His uncle frowned, pointed to the mouth of the well which was not much bigger than the mouth of the basin, and said, "Such a small mouth of the well is just enough for a person to go down, like you... second uncle, who is big and round, may not be able to get in." Gotta get stuck."

"Indeed." Lao Liu nodded. The wells in Jiangnan dwellings are generally small wells. One of the reasons is that it is not easy to fall into them and is safer.

"Such a small well mouth, if you want to push my senior brother in, how clever is it to do it?"

"The corpse said that he had no external injuries other than bruises, so he was not knocked out first and then thrown down." Hu Quan analyzed in a deep voice: "This matter cannot be done by one person."

As he spoke, he raised two fingers and said, "At least two people are needed. One controls his upper body and covers his mouth; the other hugs his legs, then turns upside down and stuffs him in."

After speaking, Hu Quan asked someone to demonstrate on the spot.Indeed, as long as the victim spread his legs, it was impossible to push him into the well at all.Pressing his legs, his hands were free again, and he could support himself on the edge of the well, just as helpless.

Not to mention that the victim still has his mouth open, so he can yell... These officials in the yamen are not too big, and they entered the courtyard three times before and after.

Therefore, at least two people had to work together to push Liu Lian into the well silently.This is also the reason why Shen Liben believed that Xiong Qitai was not telling the truth... Killing a murderer with one bite is simply an insult to the IQ of the imperial envoy.

It's a pity that things in this world are like this. Sometimes you know that the other party is insulting your IQ, and you have to wipe his ass.

~~
Either way, it's a good thing.If one murderer becomes two, the chances of finding him will naturally increase greatly.

"So, the two murderers are among the 36 people who recorded their statements." Lao Liu speculated.

"It's hard to put it that way." His uncle, who has rich experience in the world, slowly shook his head and said, "In the past, when the host's house was holding weddings and weddings, there were many faces in the house, and the people were chaotic, gangsters would sneak in and commit crimes. They often succeeded. Then they left peacefully, but no one remembers their faces."

"Okay, but at least one of the 36 people didn't escape." The sixth child changed his words again: "It's the one who asked Liu Meng about it."

"Yes." The uncle nodded this time and said, "That person must be from the yamen, and he is familiar with Liu Canzheng, otherwise he would not be able to call Liu Meng's name. When he asked, he had already searched to no avail. It's time, everyone will be alarmed at that time, and disappearing rashly will only make people suspect him."

"Do you remember the person who asked the question?" Zhu Zhen asked Liu Kong this time.When the man asked the question, he was in Cao Shenzheng's house.

"I really can't remember." Liu Kong had been thinking for a long time, but he still shook his head helplessly and said, "At that time, it was a mess here. I didn't quite hear it, but I just vaguely heard that someone called Liu Meng's name."

"Think about it again, and tell me anytime you think of it." Lao Liu was not disappointed, he had already gained a lot today.No need to demand full blame.

Then they returned over the wall the same way, and when they were about to take Liu Li away, there was a rumbling sound of knocking on the door outside.

"Open the door, open the door!" Several rough roars sounded at the same time.
