Chapter 72: Three buttons

Views:

Ji Yunshu pinched the button on his fingertips and stretched it out towards Li Zhao.

When he saw the button, Li Zhao's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but he was full of panic.

"I... how do I know." When he answered, he suddenly covered the belt around his waist with his hands.

Unfortunately, Ji Yunshu saw it clearly.

She said, "Why don't you know? The dress you wore yesterday is the same as the one you wore today. It's all made of Qingzhou brocade, and only Qingzhou brocade clothes are embroidered with such buttons."

"Then... so what? It can't be said that it is mine who killed my brother-in-law. Don't talk nonsense and wrong a good man."

"You said it was a coincidence that this button just fell out of the pile of bones, and the ankle of the bones was injured just before he died, so that means that Mr. Jiang must have had an argument with others before his death. , and in the process of arguing, the buttons on the murderer's clothes happened to be torn off."

The more Li Zhao listened, the more panic he became, but he did not forget to deny: "Even if that button is the murderer, but... but it has nothing to do with me!"

His eyes were a little afraid to look at Ji Yunshu.

In this way, still desperately denying, Ji Yunshu is not in a hurry, the thin lips are only slightly hooked.

"Li Zhao, don't you even recognize the buttons on your own clothes?"

Huh

Where did this start.

The county magistrate also looked confused, straightened up a little from the pear flower chair, and asked, "It's just a button, what's so strange? How can you tell it's Li Zhao's?"

This question, not only the county magistrate wanted to know, but the teachers and yamen who were present also eagerly wanted to know.

Seizing the question from the county magistrate, Li Zhao immediately retorted: "Qingzhou's brocades are everywhere, and this kind of button is even more common. Why do you say it's mine?"

"What are you doing in such a hurry? Can you calm down and let me finish?" Ji Yunshu's expression sank, and he walked towards Li Zhao's left side, saying, "As far as I know, ordinary buttons, There are four small holes for threading in the middle, and the Qingzhou brocade clothes also have four buttons on them, but this one is different."

She held the button in her hand again and explained in detail: "You can see, this button in my hand, the threading port, is not four, but three, the three buttons embroidered on Qingzhou brocade clothing, generally , they are all made to order, everyone may not understand, why do not use four, but make three? Because... this is the belief of gamblers!"

Yep

Everyone met face to face and shook their heads in confusion.

How come the buttons that are so good are involved with this three-piece button again

When everyone was puzzled, Li Zhao was not surprised at all, not confused at all, on the contrary, it was as if he had been skinned, and his whole body was cold!

Ji Yunshu's eyes rolled around in everyone's expressions, and then put it back on the button in his hand.

"I believe that there must be some people who have gone to the casino to gamble for money. You know what is lucky and what is loose money, but you must not know, what is all-you-can-eat!"

"I know!" One of the yamen raised his hand, as if he was rushing to answer a question, and said, "Take all is to take all! As the banker, one person wins."

"wrong."

The yamen twitched his face and scratched his cheek, was it wrong? Right? In casinos, that's what it means.

The yamen hustled and asked in a friendly tone, "Mr. Ji, what does this mean?"

Ji Yunshu smiled, but the smile penetrated his heart: "The so-called take-all, ordinary gamblers call all-eating, but for a pathological gambler, it represents the meaning of three sides to make money, Li Zhao, I am right. ?"

His eyes fell on Li Zhao again!

Li Zhao lowered his head, still didn't dare to look at her, and licked his lips: "I..."

Not a word came out.

"You don't say it, okay, I'll tell you, you grew up wearing clothes made of Qingzhou brocade since you were a child. You haven't changed this habit, but what you like more is the buttons on your clothes. This kind of button is embroidered on people's collars, but you are different. You are embroidered on the belt around your waist, which is enough to prove that you like this kind of button very much. Leading the pack, made to order for three."

"Of course, there is a reason why you like this three-piece button, because you like to gamble, a pathological gambler, not only believes in luck, but also in Feng Shui. Come to Bafang, and you will have three sides of wealth."

Every word is beaded, loud and clear!

Li Zhao was already trembling all over, timid as a mouse, well-deserved reputation!

Ji Yunshu continued to strike while the iron was hot, pointing to the belt that was covered by his hand: "If you still don't admit that this button is yours, then take your hand away and let everyone take a good look at it, what I said is right or wrong. "

At this time, how dare he take it away, he really wants to take off his belt and swallow it alive.

Seeing that he hadn't moved his hand away for a long time, the county magistrate was anxious and gave the yamen a look.

The two yamen understood, stepped forward and pulled Li Zhao's to both sides.

"You... you let me go!" Li Zhao shouted.

However, the button on his waist has been exposed.

Sure enough, it's three buttons.

It was exactly the same as the one Ji Yunshu was holding!

The county magistrate's eyes widened, he was angry, and raised the gavel.

Snapped-

The entire courtroom resounded.

"Li Zhao, now that the evidence is conclusive, you lied first, and now there are buttons as evidence, you still don't admit that you killed Master Jiang? Don't ask this official to impose punishment."

Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes at him!

What are you doing, you want to give in!

Li Zhao was held by two yamen, and his face was pale at the moment. Although he couldn't panic, his mind suddenly became bright.

Going towards Ji Yunshu, he retorted: "Just relying on a button, you can conclude that I am the murderer. It was just made up by you, and it was your own words. I didn't, I didn't kill, I didn't!"

For Ji Yunshu, he is now only doing his last dying struggle.

She turned a serious face, looked at him with a pair of gloomy eyes, and asked: "You are still arguing? Well, then I will tell you everything about that night. You owe a lot of money because of gambling. , being chased by the creditor, you are very scared and don't know what to do, but you dare not ask your sister for money, so in those days, you avoided the creditor who chased the door, and at the same time got drunk. …”

"No, no..."

"Until one night, you saw Mr. Jiang. Although you knew that Mr. Jiang had no status in the Jiang family, he was the head of the family anyway, so you wanted to ask him to help you and borrow money from him."
