Chapter Seventy-Three: No Regrets
There was only one man left.
After entering the room, it took him a while to kill the man, but the time to circulate was not too long, and he was directly killed.
For all this, Li Cheng still does not regret it, and even insists that what he did is right.
The case ended like this, Li Cheng thought that he had committed intentional murder and had three lives on his body, so he was naturally going to be killed, so the next day after he admitted it, he was directly beheaded on the street.
For his death, it is also a very embarrassing thing for everyone, and it has invisibly reminded many people not to bully honest people if they have nothing to do.
Maybe the husband and wife still haven't figured out why there are so many people who bullied him, only their family suffered.
Even in the weak and incompetent, there is a bottom line in their hearts.
If it is reckless, then this is the end.
Not long before the case was over, another case happened, but this time it was not a homicide, but a case of theft and loss.
Liu Yuanwai's daughter Liu Rong has been married to the Zhang family in recent days, and it is about to get married, but the dowry that has been prepared long ago is gone.
After discovering that he had lost something, Liu Yuanwai hurried to the government to report the case, hoping to catch the thief who stole the thing.
It happened that Shen Lian and Yin Chen were guests at Chu Xi's house at that time, just in time for Liu Yuanwai to come over in person, and they probably knew what happened to him.
"The thing was lost today, I went to pick it up in the morning, and it was still there, but after a while, I put the thing back, but I found that it was gone, and I don't know who stole it."
When he was talking, Liu Yuanwai's face was full of anxiety, after all, it was his daughter's dowry, if he didn't marry out with the dowry, it would be a big loss, and it would also make his daughter unable to raise her head in her mother's house.
Seeing his anxious appearance, Chu Xi simply comforted him.
"You relax first, things haven't been lost for a long time, there shouldn't be any big problems, could it be your family's subordinates? Most people wouldn't know that there was such a valuable thing in that room. Such a guess is indeed somewhat credible, but Liu Yuanwai shook his head and denied his speculation.
"No, absolutely impossible."
Seeing that he was so confident and believed in his family's subordinates, Chu Xi was a little curious, and asked puzzledly, "Why are you so sure?" Have you questioned them all? ”
"Although I haven't interrogated, I believe very much that they are all old people who have been in my house for a long time, and they all know where to put the silver in my room before, and no one has stolen it, so how can they do anything about such a happy event?" What he said made sense, and Shen Lian also nodded in agreement, feeling that this Liu Yuanwai did not blindly believe, and indeed had some credibility.
If it wasn't for the thief who did this, it must have been done by someone from outside and stole all the money.
After thinking of this, Shen Lian looked at Liu Yuanwai again and asked, "What are the lost dowries?" ”
"It's all some of my daughter's things, jewelry, and some silk brocades, all of which are relatively expensive, and if you sell them, you can sell them for a lot of money."
Shen Lian nodded thoughtfully, then turned around and said to Chu Xi, "Hurry up and block the city gate, leaving only one entrance and exit, and arrange special people to guard it, see if anyone has entered and exited more than twice, if so, temporarily detain people first, and I will interrogate them personally." ”
After hearing this, Chu Xi directly arranged for someone to do so, but he was very troubled in his heart, not only him, but even Liu Yuanwai and Yin Chen were a little uneasy to understand, what was the reason for her doing this.
Seeing the puzzlement on their faces, without waiting for them to take the initiative to ask, Shen Lian first explained the reason why he did this.
"It's very simple, if you carry a lot of things out of the city, it is bound to attract attention, and so many dowries, it is definitely impossible to send them out of the city at one time, I guess, this thief for the sake of prudence, should be transported out of the city several times, and ordinary people will not go out of the city several times a day, at most once, once and again, in this way, don't you know who the thief is?" After hearing her explanation, Liu Yuanwai nodded appreciatively at Shen Lian, "I heard that Miss Shen is very smart early on, and now that I have seen it in person, it really deserves her reputation, and she really has real skills." ”
Shen Lian smiled slightly, "It's a prize, it's just a little clever." ”
"That's not it, I've never seen a few people who are so smart, you are the first, if you can help me get all the lost things back, I will definitely give Miss Shen a banquet and visit to show my gratitude."
Liu Yuanwai did not leave, and stayed in the county government for the time being, which was Shen Lian's idea.
She had already calculated that the thief would be in a hurry to transfer the stolen goods after stealing something, and he would definitely not leave it in his hands for too long, lest he be discovered and bring disaster to herself, and she would definitely be eager to take it out of the city.
Now it depends on whether you can catch the person who came out of the city twice, if you can really catch it, then Shen Lian's guess is correct, but if you don't catch it, then you have to think of other ways.
In the process of waiting, Shen Lian also learned some more specific things from Liu Yuanwai.
The dowry was kept in a separate room, which was not inhabited, it was usually locked, and the key was only for him, and the others did not have it at all.
And the time when he went in to get his things and came back to put them was less than an hour, that is, the dowry was lost during this time, and someone took advantage of this time to go in.
More importantly, the thief did not go to the other room, but went straight to the room where the dowry was kept.
After learning these specific news, Shen Lian briefly told Liu Yuanwai some of his thoughts.
"Judging from the current situation, this thief should know more about the situation of your family, and he knew which room the dowry was placed in early on, so after breaking the door lock, he went in directly."
After a pause, she continued, "This person should still know your family's personnel arrangements very well, know what people do at what time, take advantage of the time when no one is found, and sneak in, if you don't take things today, you probably won't find things missing, and if you want to find it when the time comes, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." ”
After hearing her words, Liu Yuanwai asked a little confused, "Do you suspect that someone from my family did it?" Absolutely impossible, I have that confidence in them. ”
Because these people have indeed worked in Liu's family for more than ten years, and no new people have come in in the past few days.
If there is a newcomer who is new, he may suspect that the newcomer did it, but now that they are all old people, he will never think that they did this kind of thing.
Seeing that he was so determined, Shen Lian didn't continue to insist on anything, but said to him, "I'm just telling you that this thief is very familiar with your family, and he didn't say that it must have been done by someone in your family, I want to ask you, has anyone been to your home and is still familiar with your home?" After she said this, Liu Yuanwai began to bow his head and ponder, thinking left and right, who has been to his home recently? But no matter how much he meditated, he didn't think of a possible person.
Because the house where the dowry was placed was in a relatively internal location, and he usually met people outside when he met guests, and almost no one went inside, so he really couldn't think of anyone who might do such a thing, let alone anyone who would go inside and steal everything.
Seeing that he really couldn't think of a suspicious person, Shen Lian didn't force him, anyway, he has already sent someone to guard it, once there is a suspicious person, he will definitely not be able to escape, as long as he catches someone, he will know who this person is.
