Chengxing did not achieve his goal, and how could the inner house of the Ma Mansion be a place where a subordinate like him could go? He was found by the patrolling family members and rushed back halfway through. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After coming back, he found that Humpty Dumpty was actually talking with Xu Zhukuai in the courtyard, the two talked very quietly, Chengxing approached cautiously, but only heard the two of them say only two words and then separated.
It was probably Humpty Dumpty who asked Xu Zhu what he had found out, Xu Zhu shook his head, Chengxing secretly despised it in his heart, of course he couldn't find it, because he had been wandering around the horse mansion, it was a real loitering, where was there a shadow of handling cases.
Chengxing returned to the next room to rest, and heard everyone talking about the eldest young master. He got up early and lay down, and heard the others say, "You say, did Dong Ju kill the eldest young master?"
Someone booed and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and the man continued: "Be quiet, let others hear, be careful that the master breaks your dog's leg." ā
The man sneered, "You're the dog." ā
After a lot of commotion, everyone continued to talk in a whisper, and one said: "I don't know what to do, someone saw the eldest young master and Dong Ju pulling and pulling before, this time, something must have happened to the two of them, Dong Ju angered the eldest young master, which led to the murder." ā
One person said: "You are all guessing, how did I hear that the eldest young master not only has a leg with Dong Ju, but also has all the maids in the house." ā
Another person said: "Fart, my cauliflower is very loyal, and we will go back to the countryside to marry after the New Year." ā
One person said: "You and Cauliflower are both strangers, and we are talking about the eldest young master." ā
Another person saw Chengxing lying down at this time, and said: "Big Tiger, why did you go to bed so early today, come and talk together, aren't you the second young master's henchman, you must know more than us." ā
Chengxing deliberately snored, and the rest of the people shook their hands and scattered in a hurry.
After dawn the next day, Chengxing finally saw the rumored eldest young master, only to see a thin young man with a sickly face, looking very much like the scholar who was powerless as mentioned in the book.
quietly followed up to observe secretly, and found that this young master had no suspicions except that he was weak.
In addition, I found that the eldest young master secretly shed tears, as the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, what is going on with this eldest young master?
With the identity of this subordinate, Chengxing checked in Mafu for three days, in addition to the master of Mafu, Humpty Dumpty, the eldest young master, and the eldest young grandmother He secretly observed.
The death of the maid Dong Ju, who did it, through the collection of intelligence clues these days, finally had a rough outline in his mind.
And just two days later, Humpty Dumpty's Xu Zhukuai seemed to have found the murderer, on this day he summoned everyone to the front yard, standing in the field with confidence, and after everyone arrived one after another, including Master Ma, the eldest young master, the eldest young grandmother, Humpty Dumpty, Xu Zhukuai finally spoke: " Hello Mr. Ma, the humble duty is the fast catch of the neighboring town, a few days ago he was entrusted by the second son, and came to the house to handle the case, to be honest, the humble duty has been looking for clues these days, fortunately, these days there is finally a little eyebrows, so please come, just to announce this matter. ā
Master Ma appeared for the first time, he looked like he was in his fifties, his face was very ugly, he glared at Humpty Dumpty and said: "Whoever made you make your own decisions, I said, whoever goes out without permission will be severely punished, don't think that you are my son, you can do whatever you want." ā
Humpty Dumpty seemed to be very afraid of Master Ma, so he didn't dare to come out, and said, "Dad, I know, the child is willing to be punished after this incident." ā
Chengxing has been standing not far away and eavesdropping, at this time, Xu Zhukuai did not drag the mud and water, and said directly: "The second son of Ling Lang invited Bei to investigate the death of the maid Dong Ju, and Bei Zhi has already found out who is the murderer." ā
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, Master Ma fell silent, but the eldest young master's eyes flashed with a strange light, only the eldest young grandmother said impatiently: "A maid dies and dies, why did you go to such great lengths to invite Xu Zhukuai, second brother, are you making a big fuss." ā
Humpty Dumpty said: "Sister-in-law, although Dong Ju is a maid, she is also a human being, and people have died in an unknown way, so you have to find out the truth, and give an explanation to the dead." ā
The young grandmother snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, then I'll listen to what Xu Zhu is about to find out." ā
Xu Zhu smiled quickly and said, "Actually, it's very simple, the murderer is the eldest young master." ā
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again, the color of Master Ma's old face changed, the eldest young grandmother dropped the teacup in her hand in surprise, the eldest young master was the most innocent, and said: "What are you talking nonsense, don't think that you are an official and can talk nonsense, how could I kill Dong Ju!"
Humpty Dumpty said at this time: "Xu Zhukuai, although I don't know how to handle cases and investigate cases, I also know that everything has to be evidence, and it is convincing to be convinced, do you have any evidence?"
Xu Zhu said quickly: "Of course there is, these days, I have been secretly visiting, and I found out that the eldest young master seems to have an ambiguous relationship with Dong Ju, and I also went to the scene to investigate, and found that there was something on the eldest young master's body at the scene." As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant.
The eldest young master's eyes widened after seeing it, and said, "Why are you here, I have been looking for several days." ā
Xu Zhu said quickly: "The facts are obvious, it was the eldest young master who killed Dong Ju, the thing should be, the two had a quarrel for some reason, and the eldest young master accidentally killed Dong Ju, but in the process, he lost his jade pendant there and didn't know it." ā
The eldest young master shouted with almost blood-red eyes: "Fart, you spew blood!"
Chengxing overheard the situation inside at this time, and secretly said in his heart: "No, the person who killed Dong Ju is not the eldest young master, but that person, I must hurry up to stop this idiot from continuing to talk nonsense." ā
There was silence in the front yard, and Master Ma's face had returned to normal at the moment, and when he heard that his son was identified as a murderer, he didn't speak, just sat there motionless.
The young grandmother cried, crying pear blossoms with rain.
Humpty Dumpty sighed, and seemed helpless.
And at this moment, an unfamiliar voice sounded:
No, the eldest young master is not a murderer, the real murderer is someone else.
Seeing the stars coming step by step, everyone was surprised.
Humpty Dumpty saw that it was his confidant, and was about to get angry, but he was surprised: "No, who are you, you are not a big tiger, where has the big tiger gone?"
Now that he has been recognized, Chengxing is not easy to hide, revealing his true face, and said: "I have seen Master Ma, I know who the real murderer is." ā
However, what Master Ma said next made everyone a little puzzled, and said: "It doesn't matter who it is, it's just that a maid is dead, it's not a big deal." ā
Chengxing seemed to have known that the other party would say this, and said, "What if this matter is related to the interests of Master Ma's family?"
Master Ma smiled and said, "What's your name?"
Chengxing said: "My name is Chengxing." ā
Master Ma said: "You don't seem to know the rules of this town, what happens when outsiders come in." ā
Chengxing was not afraid at all, and said: "So what, I just know that the eldest young master was wronged." ā
At this time, Xu Zhu said quickly: "What are you, then you say, who is the murderer?"
Chengxing said: "Don't worry, let's talk about why the eldest young master is not a murderer, I have also checked in the house these days, to be honest, the bodies have been cremated, and there are no useful clues at the scene, but I still found the answer." The reason why the eldest young master is not a murderer is the most direct reason is that it is impossible, the eldest young master is weak and needs to take medicine regularly, and I learned that Dong Ju can do the work of two people alone, and he is very hardworking, but his strength will not be small. ā
Master Ma said: "Young man, I didn't let you continue, you don't need to say it, it's pleasing to the eye, you can leave quickly." ā
Chengxing waved his hand and said, "Please let me continue, in addition, I noticed that the eldest young master and Dong Ju really seem to have some ambiguous relationship, at least it should be regarded as mutual admiration, otherwise the eldest young master would not cry when he looks at Dong Ju's portrait." That should be the portrait that the eldest young master painted for Dong Ju. ā
The eldest young master said: "Yes, Dong Ju and I have already made a private agreement for life, who would have thought." ā
Chengxing was about to continue, but Master Ma said: "I advise you not to say it, and run for your life quickly." ā
Chengxing smiled and said, "Master Ma, I guess you must know who the murderer is." ā
However, then Master Ma said a word, let Chengxingru suffer five thunders!
"I have long advised you not to say it, don't say it, but you have to say it, the problem you should have considered was how to survive in the town, but you just wanted to investigate what case, I wanted to make it difficult for you, but you just didn't give me this opportunity, I was angry, the first task was invalidated, and the next second task was that you had to play a person who was hunted down, the time was before dark, of course, it depends on whether you have the ability. ā
Chengxing was shocked, took two steps back, and said in disbelief: "You are so shameless, are you a child!"
