Chapter 67
Mrs. Xu looked at the corpse, gently wiped the tip of her nose with some disgust, and then turned to Xie Yiying and said, "Really...... It's a pity, it's just a business thing, and if you can't do it, you can't do it well, so why can't you think about it like this. ā
Xie Yiying felt sad in her heart, and didn't want to be with her anymore, so she only hummed perfunctorily.
Mrs. Xu only thought she was scared and didn't mind.
While speaking, the housekeeper of the Xu family also hurried over with a person.
Seeing Xie Yiying at a glance, as if he had only known, he sighed: "Say hello to the fourth imperial concubine." ā
"Get up."
"Imperial Princess."
As soon as the housekeeper's knees touched the ground, he immediately stood up, bowed to Mrs. Xu and said, "Madam, the Ye family is here." ā
"The Ye family is well-informed." Mrs. Xu's words were neither yin nor yang, she looked up and down at the people from the Ye family, "I don't know who this is from the Ye family, my lord is not in the house, there is something, I have to explain to me." ā
As soon as he came up, he put on a arrogant posture, and suddenly the agent of the Ye family was a little unable to take it.
Xie Yiying knew that Shopkeeper Ye had something to do yesterday and just went to Suzhou to deal with it. The one who came today was probably the little shopkeeper under him who was in charge of contacting the Xu family's business, and he hadn't seen him, but fortunately, looking at this person's psychological element, he couldn't show anything under anxiety.
Probably trotting all the way over, he raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead, then hurriedly saluted Xie Yiying, and then turned to Mrs. Xu and said, "Hello Mrs. Xu, the small one is Zhao Jian, the second shopkeeper of Jixiang Pawnshop, this and this...... The deceased, Wang Li, was the person of the auspicious pawnshop. ā
"Oh," Mrs. Xu replied softly with her chin raised, "your people?" Then she unabashedly looked at the person carefully, and the sweat that the second shopkeeper had just wiped down and flowed down again, "Your people, why are you hanging at the door of my house?" ā
Zhao Jian was obviously smart, and he didn't think about how to deal with it, so he just said: "This and this...... The villain doesn't know, it stands to reason that he shouldn't have killed himself......"
"Shopkeeper Zhao, although I am a woman, I also know that a while ago, you and my lord had some unpleasant business troubles, but the business matters were solved in business, isn't this the truth? If something goes wrong in business, you will have to hang yourself in front of my house, then everyone should stop doing business, and there will be more than anyone else. ā
Mrs. Xu spoke slowly and logically, with a mocking malice, and turned a few corners in her words, which meant that Wang Li lost to them in business, so she deliberately committed suicide at the door of his Xu family.
Zhao Jian's mind turned unfast, but at this time, he also understood that the lady in front of him wanted to blame everything on herself, and straightened her back suddenly: "Madam, what you said makes no sense, we are a good living person, and we died in your house for no reason, and we haven't asked you for someone yet, but we blame us." ā
It's hard for him to burst into combat power all of a sudden, seeing that he is going to be involved in a life lawsuit, who can endure it.
Xie Yiying watched coldly from the side, but knew that he didn't see the essence of this matter. killed a person, did the Xu family just want the Ye family to have a life lawsuit? No. What impact can a suicide case have on business?
The important thing is the follow-up thing, the bid that the Ye family has just won, and the follow-up business route operation. It is really difficult to eat the food that has just been snatched from the tiger's mouth, and even if such a little bit of talk is handed over to the other party, it will cause a great negative impact.
"What Shopkeeper Zhao said is really interesting, what do you mean, this person was killed by us? I'll just ask you a question, we killed people ourselves, we were afraid that people wouldn't see them, and we still hung at the door of our own house, and the whole world looked at it, is there such a reason? ā
Mrs. Xu and Zhao Jian are not on the same level, once they refute him, it will be easy, and they will be beaten.
Xie Yiying sighed secretly on the side.
It happened suddenly, and probably the person who could stand up over there was directly related to Wang Li, just such a person. It's not that there are no powerful characters, but they are all standing behind the scenes, and even Xie Yiying's identity is known, and Light YƬ will not show up.
"It's all about people's lives, it's useless for the two of you to talk here, I think we have to ask the government to check it carefully." At this point, Xie Yiying had to stand up, "It's better to give the deceased an explanation, what does Madam say?" ā
When she turned to Xie Yiying, Mrs. Xu naturally changed back to the appearance of a woman in a deep house, "What the fourth imperial concubine said is, did the housekeeper go to the official mansion to report to the official?" ā
"As soon as I found out, I went, but it was said that the manpower was sent to the western suburbs to investigate the case, and I couldn't take care of our side for a while, I'm afraid I would have to wait for tomorrow."
Waiting for tomorrow?
With the manpower of the Xu family, in half a day, this matter can spread throughout Yangzhou City.
"What can I do about this...... Mrs. Xu was embarrassed.
The words have begun, and Xie Yiying naturally has no reason to stop.
"In fact, there is no need for all the manpower, the top priority is to find out the cause of this person's death, then only one work is enough, the government will go out to handle the case, and it will not take all the work away." Her tone was light, as if she had casually raised a suggestion.
After instructing someone to invite the servant to come over, she continued: "The appearance in front of me reminds me of a case that the fourth prince told me before, and the details of the story do not need to be repeated, the left and right are just a matter of a person hanging himself. But in the end, His Highness told me that it is easy to distinguish between a person who hangs himself and someone who is strangled or murdered and disguised as a hanger. ā
As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Xu's face changed. Xie Yiying has been observing carefully, naturally she didn't miss this change, she just pretended not to know and took a step forward.
The body was right in front of him, hanging there, motionless. This is what happens when a person dies, and when the life force is withdrawn from the body, it becomes like a branch.
"If you really hang yourself, you will use ropes, silks, and other tying places, and hand them over to the left and right ears, and the cords will be dark purple, and the eyes will be closed and the lips will be open, and the hands will show your teeth, and if the rope is strangled on the throat, your tongue will be more than that, and there will be saliva on your chest, and feces will come out of the back of your buttocks."
Xie Yiying said very slowly, word by word, clearly.
"If you are beaten and strangled, pretend to ......hang yourself," she raised her eyes to look at the corpse, and pointed her fingers one by one, "then the mouth and eyes are open, the hands are messy, the blood veins under the throat are not good, the marks are shallow, the tongue does not come out, and the teeth are not touched, there are finger claw marks on the neck, and there are fatal injuries on the body." ā
As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe, reached for the collar of the man, and tugged it down slightly, revealing scratches.
It's painful.
For the same thing, Xie Yiying has more than others have seen.
She saw Wang Li's struggle before he died, and he was in pain.
Then she lowered her hand and looked at it quietly for a moment: "As for the rest of the places, whether there are fatal injuries or not, it's not convenient for me to check, let's wait for it." ā
The facts are already obvious, and Mrs. Xu is irrefutable.
For Xie Yiying, the fact that she wants to know is already obvious.
Her people were killed in the Xu Mansion, and there are only two possibilities, one is that a third party did it, so as to cause disputes between the two of them and take advantage of the fisherman; Another possibility is that the Xu family did it, using the reverse thinking of the former.
And now it seems that Mrs. Xu's agile reaction clearly shows that she has made preparations in advance, just waiting for someone to enter the urn.
"Mrs. Xu," Xie Yiying retreated to her side, and although she didn't look at her, she whispered to someone, "Are you afraid?" ā
Kill someone, are you afraid?
With a pun, Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, not knowing if Xie Yiying had noticed the truth. After a while, he said in a trembling voice: "There is such a corpse in the mansion now, so I am naturally afraid." ā
The last plausible sentence, Xie Yiying should not have asked. She shouldn't even be involved in this whole thing.
But she couldn't help it.
This is her person, who was killed when she was doing things for her, and she didn't seek justice for him, who would ask for him?
Mrs. Xu didn't hear Xie Yiying's response for a long time, so she secretly looked at her with the rest of her eyes.
But he saw people standing quietly, their eyes looking straight ahead, their eyes clear and compassionate.
