Chapter 437
Li Yan's heart 'thumped', feeling really afraid of something.

Cai prayed that no one would see the scene where Hua Mancai was fighting with those people, and this witness appeared.

Mei Xue stood beside Xing'er, clasped her hands tightly, her palms were sweating all the time, and her body was trembling slightly.

As for Hua Mancai, he was surprisingly calm, looked at the policeman who came and said, "I'll go back with you, this matter has nothing to do with her."

The head of the arrester's face sank, and he said without a trace of leeway: "Since you were together at that time, she naturally wants to go too."

"But she..." Hua Mancai still wanted to intercede, but Li Yan interrupted in time.

"Mancai! It's okay, the death of those people has nothing to do with you, so what are you afraid of." Li Yan was one head and two adults at this time.

During the mid-autumn festival, Yue Xia and Hua Qian suddenly returned to the village early, and Hua Mancai and Mei Xue encountered such unlucky things again, what should I ask him to say.

There are police patrols in the town, and if a murder case occurs, it will be reported to the county government and handed over to the county magistrate for trial.

Hua Mancai and Mei Xue boarded the carriage to the county seat, both of them looked unhappy.

Wu Yu, who caused trouble, immediately sent a letter back to Hua Qian, informing her of what happened in the town.

Seeing such news, Hua Qian couldn't laugh or cry, but she was even more curious about the so-called witness.

If Wuyu dared to kill someone, it must have ensured that everything was safe. It can only show that the situation of Brother Mancai and his cousin was indeed seen by others, and they wanted to use this matter to make a fuss.

"A Yue, you don't want to go to the county seat, I'll just go with Wuqiu." After returning from the county seat twice, Hua Qian was still a little worried about Yue Xia's situation.

Hearing the name of 'Wu Qiu', Yue Xia's expression changed slightly, and he put down the brush in his hand: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, if you and I are not together, what will parents think?"

Hua Qian scratched her head and compromised: "Okay, then let's go together."

It was getting close to dusk, Mr. Li could only hear the case tomorrow, when Hua Qian and Yue Xia left, they told Mei that they were going to watch the lanterns tonight, and they would not go home at night.

"These two children have learned to stay out at night." Mrs. Mei murmured softly, but Hua Qian's carriage did not go far, so she naturally heard it.

As soon as I arrived in the town, I met shopkeeper Li waiting at the gate of the town.

"Miss Hua, Mr. Yue, you don't need to go to the county, my master and wife are here."

At this moment, Hua Qian jumped down from the carriage and looked at shopkeeper Li with a smile: "So, Master Li is going to try this case in Guyu Town?"

"Yes." Shopkeeper Li said while leading the way.

In Daqi, every town will set up post stations for officials to live and work temporarily.

After the three of them arrived at the inn, many ordinary people had already surrounded the gate of the courtyard, which showed how curious they were about the case.

When seeing Hua Qian and Yue Xia appeared, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys are here."

"Has Master Li started the trial?" Hua Qian asked.

"Not yet, my father invited a famous doctor in the town to come over for an autopsy, and the case will probably be heard soon." Li Yan just finished speaking, and Master Li came out of the mortuary room.

He said to the policeman guarding the gate: "Let the people outside also come in and have a look."

Afterwards, the people watching outside the courtyard poured in, consciously formed a semicircle, and let Mr. Li stand in front of the center.

"The autopsy results have come out, let Dr. Zhang tell everyone." After Master Li finished speaking, an old man standing behind him walked forward slowly.

"I, Zhang, have been practicing medicine in Guyu Town for dozens of years. I think many people know him, so I won't beat around the bush. Those who died were killed with one blow by someone with strong martial arts."

After Dr. Zhang finished speaking, the servant who was a witness immediately exploded: "Doctor Zhang, what do you mean by that? Do you mean that I wronged them?"

When the servant was talking, he pointed to Hua Mancai and Mei Xue standing beside him.

Doctor Zhang glanced at the young man, without saying a word, and quietly retreated behind Master Li.

At this time, Master Li asked aloud: "Si Liu, as a witness, tell me how those people were killed by the two people beside you."

After being asked by Mr. Li, Liu Si began to panic.

He was just bought by the steward of the owner's house to give false testimony. If he really wanted to tell the story of how those people were killed, how could he say it.

However, as soon as he thought of the 100 taels of silver he could get if this matter was done, he instantly settled down and began to write and direct his own story about how the dead were killed.

"When I passed by the intersection of the small street, I saw him fighting with the dead with a dagger. Because of his martial arts, he quickly killed them. The girl stood aside and watched." Liu Si smiled triumphantly after he finished speaking.

Master Li was only angry when he heard this, and asked angrily: "Come here, present the murder weapon and let Liu Si identify it."

After a while, Deng Butou, who came with him, put the daggers used by those gangsters on the ground: "These are the murder weapons left at the scene. Do you know which one the murderer used?"

Liu Si looked at the long and short daggers on the ground, frowned, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He hesitated for a long time before pointing at a dagger: "This... this dagger."

Deng Butou took a deep look at him, and presented the dagger he identified in front of Mr. Li.

Master Li just glanced at him casually, and said with a sneer, "Liu Si, Liu Si, you will be punished for perjury. To tell you the truth, these are not murder weapons, but belongings of the deceased."

Being exposed by Mr. Li face to face, Liu Si was so frightened that he sat on the ground paralyzed, and begged for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me, the little one was also bribed."

Hearing that Liu Si told the truth, the people onlookers started discussing it.

Mr. Li also struck while the iron was hot, and asked Liu Si: "Who bought you, and you haven't bought it honestly."

At this moment, Liu Si was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Yes, yes...it's Du... Du..."

Before Liu Si could finish his words, black liquid suddenly spit out from his mouth, which seemed to be poisoned.

Doctor Zhang immediately stepped forward to feel his pulse, and found a very thin silver needle on his back. He pulled it out carefully, and said, "He was killed."

Master Li's eyes flickered slightly, and then he looked at Hua Mancai and Mei Xue, wondering why these two people would get into such a thing.

Cailian, who was standing outside the crowd, saw that Liu Si was dead, so she turned and left.

At this time, Butou Deng suddenly shouted anxiously: "My lord, just after entering the room, the corpses are gone!"

"What!" Master Li was startled, turned around and rushed into the house, and as expected, the corpses were gone as Deng Butou said.

Some of the onlookers rushed up boldly, seeing that there was nothing in the house except the wooden plank that carried the corpse before, their faces changed drastically in shock.

"Ouch, something strange happened."

"It's so evil, let's go quickly."

"Yes, yes, hurry up, or you will suffer if you encounter bad luck."

The inn, which was originally crowded with water, almost disintegrated after a while, and the rest were Hua Qian and Yue Xia.

The bodies were gone, and the case was finally closed.

And this matter spread quickly, Xiao Chen also heard about it, and went to the town to take Hua Mancai home that night, locked him in the room, and cursed Mei Xue fiercely in her heart some.
