Chapter 197
In less than half an hour, Wu Hu and others brought Xiao Jinhong and Xiao Qiu back to the town hall.

As soon as the two arrived at the hall of the town hall, they hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Meet Wan Lizheng."

"Meet Wan Lizheng."

"Get up." Wan Huaimin looked at the two seriously, and spoke seriously.

The two stood up thanks to En, lowered their heads, and waited for Wan Huaimin's next move.

Xiao Jinhong didn't know the purpose of being "invited" by Wan Huaimin at all, but since he was brought here, there was something to do, and as for what happened, he had to listen to Wan Huaimin.

But Xiao Qiu lowered his head, guilty of not daring to look at the people around him, let alone make a sound.

Liu Qingcao was on the side, watching him shivering coldly, and snorted softly.

Originally, after the last time, Liu Qingcao thought that he should restrain himself, but he didn't expect this person to be so ruthless.

If it wasn't for someone still restraining her and having some scruples, it might not be Wu Guihua who was lying down at this time.

"Patriarch Xiao."

Wan Huaimin's voice was flat, his eyes were cold, and Xiao Jinhong was so startled that he thought something was wrong in his heart, but he tried his best to keep calm on his face.

"Xiaomin is here." Xiao Jinhong lowered his eyes and nodded.

"Look, who is wearing this silver finger?" Wan Huaimin raised his eyes and looked at Xia Gengcai, who presented the silver finger to Xiao Jinhong.

Xiao Qiu saw what Xia Gengcai was presenting on the chopping board from a distance, and was taken aback for a moment.

He was very familiar with this silver wrench. Two days ago, when he accidentally found that the silver wrench in his hand was missing, he asked his servant to search for it at the house for a while, but he couldn't find it after searching all over.

Who would have thought that it was actually in the town office!
Zhenya! ! !

Shocked, Xiao Qiu looked at Wan Huaimin nervously and terrified, then turned his head, his elder brother had already held the silver wrench in his hand.

Panicked, he snatched it away.

"You!" Xiao Jinhong frowned, his face darkened, and his eyes were cold.

Xiao Qiu was taken aback for a moment, and then realized immediately, the panic in his eyes was obvious.

"Brother, brother, I just want to take a look." Xiao Qiu shook his hand, and the silver wrench fell to the ground, rolling to Liu Qingcao's feet.

Liu Qingcao picked up the silver wrench and looked at the two of them, one was angry and the other was afraid, their respective positions were obvious.

"Second brother, why is this silver wrench here?" Xiao Jinhong raised his eyelids, and the anger in his eyes was smoldering, wanting to burst out of his eyes.

Xiao Qiu was already terrified, but now seeing his elder brother so furious, his legs became weak unconsciously, and he almost sat on the ground paralyzed.

"Brother, this silver wrench, I, I lost it a few days ago, and I haven't found it after searching for a long time. I don't know why it appeared here."

Xiao Qiu didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only mention that he lost it.

Xiao Jinhong stared at him fixedly for a while, seeing that his eyes kept dodging, there was still something he didn't understand.

The silver finger was dropped, but how it fell off is hard to say.

"Wan Huaimin, this silver ring finger belongs to Xiaomin's family. Years ago, it was given to Xiaomin's second brother by his parents as a gift." Xiao Jinhong clasped his hands and answered truthfully.

He knew very well that since this thing was in the town office and he was found, it meant that Wan Huaimin had already recognized that it belonged to the Xiao family, so it would be unwise to deny it.

Seeing that he admitted, Wan Huaimin nodded.

"This silver finger is involved in a murder case, Xiao Qiu, do you know?"

"Wan Lizheng, Xiaomin don't know..." Xiao Qiu's voice was weak, and even Xiao Jinhong felt untrustworthy when he said it, let alone Wan Huaimin.

"I don't know, another one I don't know." Wan Huaimin's face was as dark as a deep pool, and his gaze swept down the hall coldly.

For a moment, Bai Gen and Xiao Qiu lowered their heads.

Liu Qingcao just thought it was funny, these people are always trying to struggle with luck, but they don't know that the people in the hall have already seen everything, doing so is just adding guilt.

"Xiao Qiu, deceiving this official is an extra crime, have you thought about it clearly?"

Xiao Qiu lowered his head and nodded for a while.

"Xiaomin heard that there was an old woman in the town who died unexpectedly, but Xiaomin didn't mean this with a silver finger." Xiao Qiu quibbled again.

Wan Huaimin saw that he was reticent, looked at Xiao Jinhong with cold eyes.

"Patriarch Xiao, you didn't know that your second brother did such a thing?"

"Going back to Wanlizheng, I really don't know that Xiaomin is not in the house these few days." Xiao Jinhong cupped his hands and directly cleared his suspicion.

Wan Huaimin stared at him for a few seconds, then looked away and set his sights on Liu Qingcao.

"Qingcao, the evidence you mentioned, where is the physical evidence?" Wan Huaimin reminded.

Liu Qingcao looked at the unwilling Xiao Qiu and hummed twice.

Afterwards, Liu Qingcao waved to the door, and a woman and a man walked outside the door.

"Meet Wan Lizheng."

"Meet Wan Lizheng."

"Tell me, what did you see that day." Wan Huaimin looked at the man dressed as a servant, and said.

"Yes, Wan Lizheng." Jia Ding bowed calmly and began to narrate.

"Wan Lizheng, I was originally a member of Xiao's family. Not long ago, Master Xiao Er saw that green peas were selling well in the town, so he sent us to steal vegetables with him in the dark.

I never thought that I would meet an old woman who was sneaky. Master Xiao Er was afraid that she would yell, and he was afraid that someone would find out, so he beat her to death. "

"Xiaomin is a day laborer in Xiao's mansion, not a servant bought by Xiao's family. Xiaomin is unwilling to participate in this kind of crime. After returning, Master Xiao Er locked me up to prevent Xiaomin from reporting. , Xiaomin was not released until yesterday."

After the servant finished speaking, in the hall, apart from the two Xiao family members who were emotionally unstable, there was another person whose angry eyes kept falling on Xiao Qiu, and never left.

After Wan Huaimin finished speaking, he couldn't bear it any longer, rushed up like crazy with red eyes, and grabbed Xiao Qiu's neck.

"You, you killed my mother, you killed my mother, you pay for my mother's life, you pay for me!" Zhao Shuanzi wept as he spoke, his hands kept moving.

Xiao Qiu might as well, he was suddenly grabbed by the throat, and suddenly felt that his life was hanging by a thread.

He struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free no matter what. He stared at Zhao Shuanzi with red eyes, with anger, fear and longing in his eyes.

Everyone in the hall was shocked by this sudden change.

Liu Qingcao reacted the fastest and moved aside. After Liu Qingcao's movement, Wu Hu rushed forward and separated the two.

"You, you hurt my mother, and I'm still helping you! Damn me!"

Zhao Shuanzi knelt on the ground in pain, talking non-stop.

Liu Qingcao stood aside watching the play, sighing in her heart.

This Zhao Shuanzi didn't react too much to Wu Guihua's death, but what irritated him was that he was helping the murderer.

It seems that he still has feelings for his mother, but this kind of feeling is very strange, not very much, maybe it is a surge of various emotions, which suddenly erupted.

Xiao Qiu's neck was strangled, he couldn't breathe for a while, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment, panting heavily.

Hearing Zhao Shuanzi's cry, he moved away in fear, not daring to turn back.

Wan Huaimin watched the commotion in the hall, and slapped the gavel heavily, and the hall was immediately quiet.

Zhao Shuanzi's cry was caught in his throat, unable to rise or fall, and finally turned into a hiccup, squeezed out of his chest.
