Chapter 742 Is He the Prisoner?
After a while, five or six officers and Lingshan came in from outside.
"Where is that woman?" Meng Bujiu asked.
"He has fainted. Someone has been sent to the Ren'ai Medical Clinic." said one of the officers.
"Secure this place and don't let anyone in. Bring the deceased's son from the school and the neighbors nearby. Interrogate them all and ask them what they heard and saw."
Meng Bujiu finished speaking and walked to the backyard.
Lingshan and an official stayed behind, while the rest went out to do their work.
Lingshan followed him to the backyard and said anxiously, "Master, the boy I almost bumped into just now had blood on his body. I don't know if it was me who bumped into him. Just in case, we should find him and investigate him. The more I think about it, the more something seems wrong.
I thought the horse wasn't running fast, so even though he fell, how come he was bleeding? So much blood, staining his clothes, this must be a serious injury, right? He couldn't be injured this badly, right? And if he was really injured, why did he run away so quickly, unless he did something bad."
Lingshan has followed Meng Bujiu in handling many cases, and he has always been smart.
I figured it out all at once.
Anyway, it's okay to check one more person. Even if he guesses wrong, it won't matter. We can just find him and pay him some money. But if we don't check, what if the criminal is let go? Besides, if he really hurts someone, he will feel bad if he doesn't pay the money.
"Okay, you go check it out." Meng Bujiu nodded and handed the matter to Lingshan.
Lingshan was very efficient and he found the truth in just one day and one night.
Coincidentally, many people in the town knew the young man. He either stole buns and beat children, or attracted cats and teased dogs. Everyone disliked him and he was even arrested and taken to the county government. He was Sun Guangzong, the son of the third daughter of the Jiang family who was married off.
Lingshan reported this matter to Meng Bujiu.
Meng Bujiu was shocked.
"You said, is he the grandson of the Jiang family?" Meng Bujiu's pupils dilated slightly, and his originally tightly closed mouth opened.
You can see how shocked he was.
"Yes, it's definitely him. He's gained a lot of weight, so I didn't recognize him. Master, what should we do now? Should we notify the Jiang family? Or should we arrest him and interrogate him? If we don't catch him, he will run away. He must be the criminal. Someone saw him enter the deceased's house."
Lingshan was a little anxious.
If he had committed a murder and the only punishment he would have when he was caught was death, he might have already run away.
There were mountains on all sides, so who knew where he ran to.
Anyway, it’s definitely not in Sunjia Village.
"Go to Sunjia Village and capture him, and bring Jiang...his mother back to the county government office." This matter involved a murder case, and Meng Bujiu was unwilling to even mention the word Jiang.
Although Jiang Sanhe is already married, the fact that she is a member of the Jiang family cannot be changed.
Who knows whether this matter will have an impact on the Jiang family, Meng Bujiu can only try to keep it a secret for the time being.
He wants to go to the Jiang family alone.
Ask the Jiang family what they mean.
If it is found out that it was Sun Guangzong who killed the people, it will be impossible to spare his life. The murderer must pay for his life. Otherwise, what is the difference between him and those corrupt officials who are all making profits for their own people.
However, it is still possible to change the way of death, such as beheading, cutting off the waist, poisoning, and hanging, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The first one died quickly but his body could not be kept intact. The second one not only could not keep his body intact but also died slowly. Some people died in great pain and even screamed.
As for poisoning with wine and hanging, the former causes unbearable abdominal pain while the latter preserves the body without much pain.
Everything is decided by his father, which in turn means that he is the one who decides.
All of this depends on the Jiang family's intention.
Meng Bujiu arrived at the door of Jiang's house. The sun had just set, so he arrived just in time for dinner.
Seeing the Jiang family eating in the main hall, he did not mention the matter immediately, but sat down to eat with the Jiang family first. After eating, they chatted for a while. Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Jiang Shoujia opened his mouth and asked.
"Bujiu came here suddenly, is there something wrong?" His eyes were like an eagle, glued to Meng Bujiu.
"Well, there's been a murder in town. I'm sure you guys have heard about it. The criminal has been caught and it's basically confirmed to be him. But I wanted to come over and ask what you think."
Meng Bujiu put away his smile and spoke with a serious expression.
"Who is it?" Zhang Jinlan was a little nervous. Could it be that this person was related to their family?
Jiang Shoujia's breathing also became rapid, he probably guessed it.
"Yes, it's Sun Guangzong." As soon as these words came out, the main room suddenly became quiet, but then it became noisy again.
"What? This kid actually dares to kill people?" Jiang Dahe was shocked.
"Oh, I don't know how Sanhe taught his child. How did he become like this? The previous beating didn't make him remember. If I had known earlier, I should have beaten him harder. This little beast even dared to kill people. It turns out that he has the same temper as the Sun family. Neither of them is a good person." Jiang Eryong cursed.
"You came here to ask us what we mean? But murder should be punished with death. Grandpa, grandma, you can't let it go..." Jiang Tongmu hesitated to speak.
As Meng Bujiu was his good brother and classmate, he knew what Meng Bujiu meant.
He probably wanted to protect Sun Guangzong, his cousin.
But this is not right.
An official must care about the people. It is only natural to compensate for the life of a murderer. If Sun Guangzong was spared and was reported in the future, I am afraid that if he was not punished, he would be in a bad position as an official.
Worried that his grandparents would protect his cousin, Jiang Tongmu paced around anxiously, but didn't know how to start trying to persuade them.
Because he saw that grandma's eyes were misty and grandpa's eyes were also red.
"Bujiu, sit down, don't stand." Jiang Shoujia blinked quickly to force back the tears. He stretched out his right hand and fanned it downwards, motioning Meng Bujiu to sit down.
Meng Bujiu obediently sat back in his original seat.
He didn't say anything, waiting for Jiang Shoujia to open his mouth.
"I know that your child has always been on our side. Whenever something happens, you tell us immediately. But this is a serious crime. If he really killed someone, then he should be killed for his life. He deserves it. Sanhe is our child. Although we claimed to the outside world that we have severed ties with her, she is our child. This cannot be false. Guangzong did this. Even if we have no feelings for him, we feel very uncomfortable.
He is our grandson after all, but even if he is our grandson, so what? He killed someone, so he should be killed! You go and investigate the case, investigate it carefully. If the criminal is really him, then do what you have to do. You must not ruin your future for this brat, it's not worth it! Grandpa Jiang will not plead for him. In short, you make your own decision, don't change your decision because of us."
Zhang Jinlan did not interrupt Jiang Shoujia when he was speaking.
What the old man meant was what she meant.
