Chapter 066: Returning Your Favor (Pink 45+)
None of the above books are of much use.
He asked people to ask him again, and after asking carefully, his face became more and more sunk.
Lord Zhang, the magistrate of the county, has been accompanying him on the side, and he gradually panicked when he saw this. At first, he thought that Su Yu was a person from Beijing, and he had been in the dust all the way, so he had to be treated well and do his best to be a landlord, but who would have thought that Su Yu would have to see the corpse first as soon as he came.
He thought he should be fine, but of course the first few corpses were not left for a long time, because the weather was getting hotter, he went to the ground early to bury them, and the one who had an accident later, because he had no experience in the work and was not well kept, was already very powerful, and it was not possible to see the first appearance.
However, after first-hand work and failed to conduct a careful autopsy, what the scribe wrote down was not at all.
Master Zhang knew that this was his dereliction of duty, so he didn't dare to mention the matter of going to the restaurant to eat in front of Su Yu, but if he didn't mention it, it seemed that he was not transparent enough.
He struggled over and over again for a long time, but in the end he couldn't help but smile and said to Su Yu, thinking that after all, he was a person who was spinning in the officialdom, and he would not be happy in his heart, and he couldn't embarrass him in front of him, and he still had to take care of the emotional matters.
But after he finished speaking, Su Yu only frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically, Master Zhang still has the heart to eat and drink now?
Master Zhang retreated abruptly, and did not dare to invite him to eat and drink, and when he looked back, although this person had a higher official position than himself, he was just a hairy boy, not as old as his son, and he felt unhappy at the moment.
In addition, it is useless, and the murders are one after another, but the murderer is still at large outside, and the top is urging him tightly, and in just a few days, he almost turned his hair white.
At this moment, Su Yu mentioned how to dispose of the corpse. His heart was pounding.
He had also seen the corpse with his own eyes, and after just a glance, he flew to the corner of the wall and vomited wildly, until he vomited to the sea. I'm going to spit out all the bile.
He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but think secretly. No wonder it's a lowly person, how can ordinary people be willing to do this?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Su Yu ask in a low voice, "Wu Liang can be found?" ”
"Found it, I didn't come out all night in the gambling house." Master Zhang hurriedly replied, and after speaking, he said, "The two sons of the Wu Zheng family are now in the yamen. ”
They are both witnesses and suspects. Don't have to find another question.
Su Yu nodded.
The group carefully looked at the scene of the murder, sent a few officials to guard the regiment, and then left first.
On the way back, Master Zhang was always ready to move, wanting to ask if the murderer was the same person as the previous ones, but when he asked, it was inevitable that he would be stupid, and he was very worried if he didn't ask. It was not yet hot on this day, and Lord Zhang was sweating all over his face. It's all in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly ordered someone to bring Wu Liang's father and son up for questioning.
Wu Liang gambled all night and yawned. Before he could react to what was going on, he and Zheng's two sons looked like they were lost and trembling.
The officials brought them in.
Su Yu saw the legs of Wu Liang's two sons at a glance, limping, clearly both of them were crippled, and they were slightly embarrassed. On closer inspection, he found that both of them had new injuries on their legs.
"How did you find the body, and why did you refuse to report it to the authorities? Let's talk about it in detail. Master Zhang hid the handkerchief and put it up on the shelf.
Wu Liang's eldest son, Wu Qin, was stunned. Then he suddenly kowtowed and said, "My lord, it's not that Xiaomin refuses to report to the official." But I don't dare! ”
After discovering his mother's body, he and his brother were first confused, and their screams attracted neighbors to watch, making the matter a big deal. When the two of them woke up, their first thought was to run. Who knows if the person who killed his mother will turn his head and touch back and kill their brother too?
If you want to escape, it's obviously human nature!
He pushed his brother's arm.
The second child of the Wu family also came back to his senses, and hurriedly kowtowed: "My father owes a lot of gambling debts, and my mother must have killed the debt collector!" Adults don't know, my brother and I also broke the leg of the debt collector! After that, he hurriedly raised the crutch beside him, "Look at this, look at Xiaomin's legs, and my mother's appearance, how can you say Xiaomin is not afraid of not running?" ”
When Master Zhang heard him talk about Zheng's death, his stomach couldn't help but churn, and he turned his head to look at Su Yu.
Su Yu didn't move, and said slowly as if carelessly: "Master Zhang just continue to ask." ”
"Who, then, is the creditor's name, where is he, and what is his appearance?" Master Zhang had to grit his teeth, and turned to look at the Wu family father and son and continued to ask.
The Wu brothers shook their heads together: "Xiaomin has only seen the one who was sent to collect debts, but he has never seen the creditor. ”
Lord Zhang looked at Wu Liang, "You won't know the silver you borrowed, right?" ”
Wu Liang was confused, rubbing his eyes and telling the people he had seen in the gambling house that day.
Mr. Zhang asked, "How much money did you borrow?" ”
"Two hundred taels ......"
"Two thousand taels ......"
The three voices sounded together, and then Wu Liang's father and son glanced at each other, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Wu Jialang said categorically: "It's two thousand taels!" ”
Wu Liang was annoyed, and finally sobered up, and scolded: "The little beast who doesn't deserve to eat the that comes out of the, where did he get two thousand taels, that's two hundred taels!" ”
"Nonsense!" Master Zhang slapped the case suddenly, "I dare to be full of foul language in front of this official!" ”
There was a sudden silence underneath.
He paid attention to the expression on Su Yu's face, and on the other hand, he asked Wu Liang and his son to go down and draw the portrait of the creditor and the debt collector.
Su Yu didn't stop him.
Master Zhang's heart became more and more relaxed, and when there was no one around, he said: "Master Su, you said that the murderer is not a woman, and the creditor that Wu Liang's father and son said happens to be a man, these murders in recent days must have been committed by this person, right?" ”
At first, the first two murders were not linked, but they were just a coincidence.
But slowly, everyone found out that the deaths of the victims of these murders were almost identical.
The deceased were all middle-aged women in their thirties and forties. When he was found, his hands were cut off at the wrists, and his body was covered in bruises. Covered in blood, the most important point. It was the mouth of each deceased who was stitched together with red thread, and the stitches were finely ordered.
In addition, when the body was just discovered, in addition to the smell of blood, there was also a strong aroma of cheap fat powder, so at first everyone was speculating that the murderer was a woman.
With the aroma of rouge gouache, and can be needlework, no matter how you look at it. It's supposed to be a woman.
Therefore, after a few discussions with the main bookkeeper, the direction of this investigation is also to the woman.
It wasn't until Su Yu and his entourage arrived in Wanghu Town that he read the autopsy records, and after asking Qi Zuo and others, he said that the murderer should be a man.
Although the autopsy was sloppy and not meticulous enough, he still let the scribe write down the key injuries and the appearance of the corpse one by one.
The corpses were all women, and their bodies were scarred, but the most severe traces of the beating were on the chest and lower body.
Su Yu then asked. The deceased may show signs of rape.
After pondering for a long time, he replied no.
He had a vague figure of a murderer in his mind.
The murderer's actions were not treacherous. But in fact, there is no doubt that it is the same as adultery. This person must have been extremely angry with the female deceased to make such an insulting act.
Therefore, the murderer can only be a man, and he must be a man who has no interest in the goodness of Long Yang!
But whether the murderer is the creditor in the mouth of Wu Liang's father and son, Su Yu does not dare to agree.
He looked at the auspicious clouds and grass carved on the window sash, and said expressionlessly: "I went to examine the corpse, and I know what the murderer looks like." ”
When Lord Zhang heard this, he glanced at him with a look at the magic stick, but he said in a loud voice, Okay, Lord Su, please.
And they went to do that.
Master Zhang was scared. Halfway through, he had nothing to say, and asked softly, "Master Su." Why did this murderer abandon the corpse after killing people several times before, but this time he left the body at home? ”
Su Yu sneered: "Killed one after another." But the government has been unable to do anything, he is naturally proud, and as soon as he is proud, he thinks he is even more rampant. This time, he's killing you! Let you see how ridiculous it is that he broke into the house and committed murder, and walked away, but you could only jump behind your feet. ”
Mr. Zhang was so shocked that his heart skipped a beat when he said "kill it for you", and he couldn't speak for a long time.
When he arrived at the door, he came out, and Master Zhang hurriedly took a step back and didn't dare to approach.
Su Yu picked up the ginger slices and put them under his tongue and strode inside.
Who knew that after entering, there was no time to take a look, and someone from outside came to pay respects, saying that there was a carriage from outside the yamen, and the people inside said that they had something important to do with Master Su.
Su Yu walked out of the room, frowned and asked, "Who is it?" ”
The official had a strange expression and replied: "It is said that it is called Yuanbao ......."
Su Yu's expression changed slightly, he turned around and ordered him to continue, he would return later, and then left Master Zhang and went outside the yamen by himself.
When he had gone out, he saw a carriage parked under the wall not far away, and there was no coachman in sight, and there was no one around.
Su Yu was silent and slowly approached.
I saw the curtain of the car in front of him swaying slightly, and a very familiar face leaned out from behind.
- Lian San Girl.
He stood in front of the car: "What is the important thing for Miss Lian?" ”
Ruosheng Zhengse said: "Come and repay your favor." ”
"Oh?" Su Yu raised his eyebrows.
Ruosheng told Wu Liang how he owed the money, and how she was reluctant to spend the money in vain, and sent someone to guard the exit of the alley day and night to prevent him from escaping, and finally said: "Wu Zheng was still alive yesterday afternoon, and it is reported that she was killed in the middle of the night, but no one left the alley at night, so this murderer is bound to live in the alley." ”
"Don't you know that Wu Liang's creditor is the suspect with the most suspicion at the moment?" The corners of Su Yu's lips were lightly raised, as if he was smiling, "You can hide it, and when the limelight passes, this matter will naturally end, and you have already returned to the capital, who can do anything?" ”
"Master Su, don't fool me, this is running away with a black cauldron, but it's far better to confess and be lenient......" Ruosheng turned his face slightly, and smiled softly as he looked.
When this smile fell in Su Yu's eyes, it blurred into a soft white cloud, brushing the tip of his heart, numb...... (To be continued)
