Chapter Seventy-Two: Solving the Case of a Mysterious Disappearance

The tea in winter is very cold, Yan doesn't know if he doesn't know how to be hospitable or deliberately, he only pours tea once and doesn't add water, Shen Wansan drank cold water aggrievedly and had nothing to say to chat with Zhang Dayong, as for Lu Xiaoqian, she didn't look at the tea cup in front of her, and sat on the chair as if a clay wood carving. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan Shi was full of smiles, and repeatedly wanted to touch Lu Xiaoqian's nose with cold ashes, and retreated stupidly, only then did she notice that Ma Xiuying had not entered the house, her face changed, as if she remembered something, and quickly confessed and went out to find Ma Xiuying, and just opened the cotton door curtain and saw Ma Xiuying standing under the plum tree, she immediately screamed in fright, "You, what are you doing?"

"What's going on?" everyone left the house one after another, but seeing Ma Xiuying standing in the courtyard in a dignified manner, there was nothing wrong with it.

Ma Xiuying said with a smile: "Just now Mr. Zhang promised to let me pick red plums, so I wanted to pick a beautiful one first." ”

Zhang Dayong steadied himself, quickly descended the steps, and said with a smile: "You don't need to do this kind of thing, if you see a branch, I'll break it for you." ”

"That's it. Ma Xiuying pointed at a branch randomly.

Zhang Dayong broke off the flower branch three times and two times, and the hand that handed it over trembled faintly.

"Ahh

Shen Wansan and Lu Xiaoqian hurriedly walked over, "What's wrong?"

Ma Xiuying's face was full of horror, her lips and teeth trembled, "As soon as I was next to the plum blossoms, it was as if someone was talking to me in my ear." ”

Yan's pretty face turned pale instantly, and his body clutched the cotton door curtain and staggered.

Zhang Dazhi smiled stiffly and said nervously: "The girl must have heard it wrong, none of us spoke just now." ”

"It's true, I just heard a man say that he died a terrible death and was buried under this plum plant. Ma Xiuying approached Lu Xiaoqian in fear and quietly scratched her palm, "Sister Lu, you pick up that plum blossom and try if anyone talks to you." ”

Lu Xiaoqian looked at Ma Xiuying suspiciously, and wanted to pick up flower branches.

"Don't!" Yan suddenly rushed down like a crazy woman, kicked the flower branches, and hysterically pushed Lu Xiaoqian and Ma Xiuying, "You go! You are not welcome here!"

"My sister-in-law was overly sad during this time, I'm afraid she was hysterical. Zhang Dayong hurriedly hugged Yan's family, and sent off the guests while explaining, "Today's greeting is not good, please forgive me, alas, you go back first." Young Master Shen, allow me to come to the door another day to apologize. ”

Shen Wansan was still about to speak, but Ma Xiuying pulled him and Lu Xiaoqian away. After leaving Zhang's house, without waiting for Shen Wansan to ask, Ma Xiuying immediately said solemnly: "You go and inform Master Shen and the government quickly, just say that Zhang Dazhi's body is buried under the plum tree." ”

Lu Xiaoqian's eyes rolled, and she almost fainted with fright.

"Are you sure?" Shen Wansan held Lu Xiaoqian to gasp, he never expected that there was a corpse hidden in this peaceful courtyard.

"100% sure, I didn't dare to find out just now, because I was afraid that Zhang Dayong would jump off the wall and hurt us. Ma Xiuying analyzed how she found out that Yan and Zhang Dayong had an adulterous affair and all kinds of abnormal words and deeds of the two of them, "If it weren't for the fact that there are unspeakable things buried under the plum tree, how could they be so nervous? Zhang Dayong has already shown a fierce face, if we don't leave quickly, we are afraid of endless troubles. ”

Shen Wansan, the adulterer***** recalled the words and deeds of Zhang Dayong and Yan, as Ma Xiuying said, he did not dare to delay at the moment, and sent Ma Xiuying and Lu Xiaoqian to the opera garden as quickly as possible, and hurried back to the Shen Mansion after meeting with Yao Tianxi to explain a few words.

The opera garden was as lively as when leaving, babbling and singing endlessly, and the Guo family sisters glanced at Ma Xiuying casually, "What did you do, delayed for so long?"

Shicai and Sister Lu saw the dough pinching man below, and they were fascinated and forgot the time for a while. Ma Xiuying held up the noodle man she bought at the gate of the theater.

"I don't know how to give us two. The Guo sisters complained, so they returned their attention to the stage, and asked Yao Tianxi which role she sang well while watching.

Yao Tianxi had already been entangled by the Guo sisters, and when he saw the three of them come back safely, his tense face showed a smile. After listening to Shen Wansan's explanation, he knew that the situation was serious, so he immediately found a reason to send the girls back to the house separately.

The Guo sisters happily reported to Da Zhang's family the scene of spending an afternoon with Yao Tianxi, they only had Yao Tianxu in their eyes, and they didn't care about Ma Xiuying and the three of them leaving for so long, but were annoyed that the three of them had returned, otherwise they could continue to get along with Yao Tianxi. Although it was because of Ma Xiuying that they had the opportunity to contact Yao Tianxi, they didn't appreciate it at all, they just wanted Ma Xiuying to disappear immediately, "Mother, why don't you marry Ma Xiuying yet?"

Da Zhang patted the back of his daughter's hand, "Don't worry, my mother will marry her after the New Year, doesn't my mother want to pick a 'good' family for her." ”

The Guo sisters laughed heartily, as if they had seen Ma Xiuying being beaten by men and scolded by her in-laws.

However, they didn't know that at this time, Ma Xiuying and Yuan Xing were already sitting in Yao Tianxi's study, talking in detail about what they had seen and heard in Zhang's house today.

Previously, Yao Tianxi only roughly listened to Shen Wansan say a few words, but after listening to Ma Xiuying's narration at this moment, he was slightly worried: "You are too risky, fortunately you didn't have an accident, I knew that I should still go with you." ”

Ma Xiuying laughed, "If there is no Guo Daya and Guo Xiaoya in the way, you go to Zhang's house with us, and we can subdue Zhang Dayong on the spot." Xiao San and Sister Lu don't know kung fu, and I don't dare to trust them alone, so I didn't expose them and confronted them face to face. However, Xiao San has already reported to the official, and they will definitely not be able to escape. ”

Yuan Xing asked, "Sister, if there is no one buried under the tree, didn't you hurt Brother Shen?"

"You dare to doubt me?" Ma Xiu glared at Yuan Xing, and asked Yao Tianxi again, "Do you think my guess is correct?"

"That's right!" Yao Tianxi nodded undoubtedly, "It is entirely possible for the wife to be unvirtuous and the younger brother to be disrespectful. As you say, they are so nervous about the plum tree that they must have something unspeakable buried under it. ”

Yuan Xing immediately changed his tone, "My sister is so smart, she cheated out." ”

"It's not that I'm smart, it's that they're weak-hearted. They must be very anxious about doing things that go against human ethics and kill their loved ones, for fear that others will notice something or find out about their actions. They think that their appearance is normal, but they don't know that some words and deeds that want to cover up happen to expose their panic. Under the influence of this emotion, any person who pretends to be a ghost can bluff the truth. Ma Xiuying shook her head, in her previous life, she not only relied on self-confidence and creativity to solve the case, but also to analyze the expression and psychology of the criminal from the details, these case-solving skills are really not worth mentioning to her.

Yuan Xing heard the words, "Sure enough, I don't do bad things, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." ”

Yao Tianxi smiled and praised, "Miss Ma, don't be modest, if you hadn't found out this evidence, I'm afraid that these two people would still be at large." ”

Yuan Xing said angrily: "This pair of dog men and women really should be killed!"

Ma Xiuying calmed down, but she was not as eloquent as before, "It's not completely certain that Yan and Zhang Dayong are guilty yet, and I can't confirm whether my judgment is correct when Xiao San brings news tomorrow." ”

The next day, Shen Wansan confirmed Ma Xiuying's judgment.

In the evening of the same day, the official mission dug up the soil in front of Yan and Zhang Dayong at Zhang's house, and sure enough, Zhang Dazhi's body and a box of silver taels were found under the plum tree. Because of the cold weather, Zhang Dazhi's body was not completely decomposed, and there was obviously a strangulation mark on his neck.

The evidence was conclusive, and Yan and Zhang Dayong trembled and confessed their crimes before they were tortured.

It turned out that Zhang Dayong was addicted to gambling and lost a lot of money, and after Zhang Dazhi found out, he not only stopped giving him money but also beat and scolded him, and he had no money to repay his debts, so he hit the head of the Yan family, who was in charge of the family.

The elder brother is an old man in his thirties, and the younger brother is a young man in the prime of life, and Yan, who is a first-time wife, naturally prefers the handsome younger brother. went back and forth, the two hooked up and became adulterous, and the Yan family posted a lot of household items to Zhang Dayong. The silver was not enough, so the Yan family cried poor, and instigated Zhang Dazhi to make fake accounts and embezzle the Shen family's money.

In May this year, Zhang Dazhi secretly made a fake account, and he became more and more bold without being discovered, and he was greedy for more and more money. At the end of the year, when the Shen family wanted to check the accounts, Zhang Dazhi suddenly realized that he was greedy for so many silver taels, and he was afraid that his behavior of making false accounts would be discovered, so he wanted to make up the money, and went home to discuss with the Yan family to ask the Yan family to take out the silver taels to fill the shortfall.

However, Yan gave most of the silver taels to Zhang Dayong, where could she get it, and she ran to Zhang Dayong to discuss while Zhang Dazhi was sleeping at night.

Who knew that Zhang Dazhi was worried about the silver two, he didn't fall asleep at all, and when he saw the Yan family sneaking out of the bedroom, he also followed out, and followed him until Zhang Dayong's house, and after hearing the conversation between the two, he realized that his younger brother and daughter-in-law had already brought him a green hat, he immediately rushed to the two of them to question, and hit the corner of the bed in the scuffle and fell unconscious.

In order to conceal the adulterous relationship, Yan and Zhang Dayong were unwilling to return the silver taels to the Shen family, so they simply did not do anything, strangled Zhang Dazhi and buried him under the plum tree, and let Zhang Dayong pretend to be Zhang Dazhi to go out the next morning to create the illusion of disappearance.

This bizarre disappearance case was solved, and the government immediately sentenced Yan and Zhang Dayong to behead after the autumn, because the box of silver found was not enough for Zhang Dazhi's greedy ink, and the government confiscated all the property of the Zhang family and compensated part of it to the Shen family.

After Shen Wansan finished telling the case, he said with a smile: "This time it's thanks to Ma Xiuying." My dad complimented me for a while, saying that I was so promising, and he was dumbfounded......"

Ma Xiuying coughed, interrupting Shen Wansan's excitement, "Have you forgotten, we have spoken first, if the results are found, you have to pay me and Brother Yao." ”

Shen Wansan's stinginess immediately attacked, "Tianxi didn't go." ”

"Without Brother Yao dragging Guo Daya and Guo Xiaoya, can we go to Zhang's house smoothly?" Ma Xiuying glanced at Shen Wansan.

Yao Tianxi smiled lightly, "I didn't contribute, I don't want to be rewarded." ”

Shen Wansan immediately hit the snake with the stick, "Look, Tianxu doesn't want to be paid, Ma Xiuying, what kind of reward do you want? Why don't I give you a piece of squirting fur too?" ”

Ma Xiuying puffed out her cheeks and said with disdain: "Qiu is worth a thousand gold, I'm afraid that if I really want it, you will cry to death, just give some silver and forget it." ”
