Daming King of Punishment

She admitted the matter without hesitation, and Bai Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Song Wuya and said, "Brother Wuya, I didn't expect that woman pretending to be a ghost is her!"

"She's lying!" But Song Wuya didn't believe what Xiao Qiu said at all, he sneered and directly doubted: "I think she probably hit a snake with a stick, so that she can get rid of the suspicion!"

"My lord, I don't have one!" Xiao Qiu was still crying and defending.

But no matter how much she cried, Song Wuya still didn't believe what she said.After all, he knew very well in his heart that if she was the one pretending to be a ghost.So whose shoe is in the housekeeper's hand?

"Okay! You don't have to pretend to be pitiful here. I will investigate the matter clearly. If this case has nothing to do with you, then I will definitely not wrong you!" Song Wuya said coldly After saying this, he turned his head to look at Bai Zhuo and said, "Brother Bai, who owns the other shoe, and the shoe in the housekeeper's hand, we have to figure it out."

"That's right, we don't know who the housekeeper's shoe belongs to. However, I think it might have something to do with Xiao Wan." After hearing Song Wuya's words, Bai Zhuo immediately mentioned Xiao Wan.

After all, Xiaowan never showed up, and they haven't verified whether the shoes are Xiaowan's.On the contrary, Mrs. Hou hides a person in the Buddhist hall in the backyard. They don't know who this person is, but Song Wuya suspects that this person is probably Xiaowan.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked the maidservants present: "Do you still have Xiaowan's shoes at the residence?"

What is the purpose of the first thousand and 150 chapters

What is the purpose of the first thousand and 150 chapters

"Xiaowan took away a pair, and left another pair in the room."

A maid immediately answered Song Wuya's question.

"Okay, bring Xiao Wan's shoes right away." Song Wuya told the maid, and asked her to bring Xiao Wan's shoes.

After a while, the maid came back.

"My lord, there is only one shoe left for Xiaowan." She explained the situation to Song Wuya as soon as she came back.

Hearing this, Song Wuya still asked her for the shoe: "Bring the remaining shoe."

"it's here."

Taking Xiao Wan's shoe from the handmaiden, Song Wuya looked at the size of the shoe, and immediately compared it with the slightly smaller shoe Xiao Qiu was wearing.

It turns out that the two shoes are almost the same size on the left and the right.Even so, Song Wuya turned over the soles of his shoes and compared them carefully.

"This pair of shoes is relatively old, judging from the traces of wear and tear, they are indeed the same pair of shoes." After Song Wuya confirmed that the shoes belonged to Xiao Wan, he immediately analyzed: "It seems that she has calculated that Xiao Wan is not here. That's why I used this shoe instead. In this way, we doubt the shoe, and we will naturally suspect it on Xiaowan's head. But it's really strange to say that in the entire Hou Mansion, only her shoe has a unique size. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for us to find out the clues!"

Probably this is God's favor for them, otherwise they would have spent a lot of time on these shoes.What's more, they have already spent several days for this shoe.

Now things are gradually becoming clear, but whose shoe is in the hands of the remaining butler?

Song Wuya also checked that shoe, and although Xiaoqiu said it could be worn, the size of the shoe was somewhat different from hers.Of course, Song Wuya didn't confirm that the shoes were not Xiaoqiu's. After all, this place is ancient but not modern. Everything is made by machines, and there is little deviation in size.

"Is this shoe really not yours?" Song Wuya asked Xiaoqiu with a frown while holding the shoe that the housekeeper found.

While crying, Xiaoqiu turned her head into a rattle, but still refused to admit that the shoe belonged to her.

"Housekeeper, you said that you found this shoe under the bed after you entered the room for the first time because the house was haunted?" Song Wuya guessed that the problem still lies in this shoe.

This shoe is not Xiaoqiu's, and Song Wuya has already judged this from the wear marks on the sole.This shoe is relatively new with not much wear and tear.But other than that, he really couldn't think of who else this shoe could belong to.

After hearing this, the butler nodded immediately: "That's right!"

"Then who should this shoe belong to?" Song Wuya frowned and asked in doubt: "The shoe was found at that time, so before you entered the house, there should be someone here. Otherwise, her shoe would not have appeared in the house. Under the bed. Could it be that the shoes were here long before the haunting?"

This made Song Wuya puzzled, and he doubted whether the butler's words were true.He looked at the butler suspiciously, but the expression on the butler's face was unusually calm, and it didn't look like he was lying at all.

Bai Zhuo looked at Song Wuya from the side, then at the maidservant, and reminded Song Wuya: "Brother Wuya, now that we know that the shoe we found at the scene belongs to her, we should interrogate it right now." She, so that she can explain everything that happened that night."

Listening to Bai Zhuo's words, Song Wuya still frowned, he waved his hand: "Brother Bai, you can ask her, first let me ponder a question."

Song Wuya was carefully thinking about the ins and outs of this matter in his mind, trying to figure out some clues from it, he didn't care about being that maid at all.

Seeing him thinking about the problem, Bai Zhuo didn't say anything more, just nodded, and then turned to look at the maid Xiaoqiu.

"You said you didn't see anything that night! Then when did you enter the scene and when did you leave? And you didn't say what you were doing when you entered the scene just now! You have to say that the person who pretended to be a ghost is You, that's obviously impossible!"

Bai Zhuo started asking, but Xiao Qiu was still crying.

As Song Wuya said, it is not very likely that the person pretending to be a ghost is Xiao Qiu, so he wants to force Xiao Qiu to ask what he is going to do.

Seeing that the two of them didn't believe her words at all, Xiao Qiu was flustered, but didn't know what to say.

"You don't tell me, do you?"

After waiting patiently for a while, Bai Zhuo asked Xiao Qiu coldly when he saw that Xiao Qiu still did not speak.

Xiaoqiu still didn't answer, Bai Zhuo sneered and said: "Okay! Just don't say anything. If you don't speak up today, I'll see if you have a chance to speak up in the future. Do you know that the things you hid at the scene at the time of the crime are now It has been announced. If the murderer is in the Hou's mansion, do you think he will feel that you have seen the process of committing the crime? If he thinks so, do you think you can survive tonight?"

Inquiring couldn't get Xiao Qiu to speak, so Bai Zhuo started threatening directly.But what he said was true, if the murderer was in the Hou's mansion, the fact that Xiao Qiu hid at the scene that night would definitely arouse the murderer's vigilance, and it was absolutely impossible for him to let Xiao Qiu live in this world.

The deterrent power of these words was so great that Xiao Qiu shuddered suddenly.She could obviously think of the consequences she would have. How the murderer treated Lord Hou must be how she would be treated.In any case, facing the threat of death, anyone would feel fear in his heart, let alone such a delicate woman as Xiaoqiu.

She was quite frightened, but Xiao Qiu still didn't speak.

Bai Zhuo's patience was already worn out.

"Let me tell you, if you don't tell the truth, we will treat you as a murderer and kill you!" Bai Zhuo saw that what he just said had some effect, so he said another harsh word.It wasn't enough to finish talking this time, he even clarified the matter! "Do you know that these alone are enough to settle your case!"

This bit of evidence is really not enough to settle the case for the maid Xiaoqiu.But now, in order to get Xiao Qiu to speak, Bai Zhuo has lied once.

Xiaoqiu was so frightened that she was really anxious now, and hurriedly said: "My lord! I really didn't see anything! That night, I entered the room in the dark, and after a while, I I heard movement outside. Then I watched Master Hou and Xiaohui come in. After Xiaohui lit the candles, she said to get water for the feet of Master Hou, and left the room. After a while, Master Hou I don’t know what to mutter, then I stood up and walked towards the door. After that, I don’t know anything after that.”

"What did you say?" Hearing this, Bai Zhuo was startled, frowned and confirmed again: "Master Hou muttered something about going out?"

"Yes! He was already drunk at the time, and I didn't hear what he said clearly, but after he walked out of the bedroom and came to the hall, he shook a few times and then sat down on the ground." Xiaoqiu cried.

This is good, Bai Zhuo suddenly came to his senses.They discovered that weird candle the day before yesterday. Something was mixed in the candle. As long as it was burning, the candle would definitely release some smoke.This will put a person in a coma very quickly, and then it will take a long time to wake up.

So, maybe Hou Ye was in the hall because he smelled the smoke.But this is not right, Bai Zhuo immediately asked again: "Then when did you leave the crime scene?"

"I was on the morning of the second day!" Xiao Qiu replied without hesitation.

But after hearing this, Bai Zhuo suddenly sneered: "Hehe! You are so hard-headed! I thought you were pitiful at first, and I also suspected that you have nothing to do with this matter. But now You are still deceiving me, so I have to suspect you! I think even if the murderer is not yours, you are involved in this case!"

That Xiaoqiu was dumbfounded all of a sudden, she obviously didn't expect Bai Zhuo to have such a reaction.

"My lord, what I said is the truth!" Xiao Qiu still refused to admit everything that happened to him that night.

And Bai Zhuo has now confirmed that Xiao Qiu is lying.Although Lord Hou was drunk that day, it is unlikely that he passed out, otherwise why would the candle with the smoke burnt to that point.

I am afraid that this specially prepared candle has been burning for a long time.

And she was in the room at that time, as long as the candle was not lit, it was absolutely impossible for her to wake up overnight.

Song Wuya just sniffed it, and fell into a coma all day, not to mention the situation at that time?
