Huaiyuanfang Bridge Falling Case Chapter 22 The Thoughts of the Dead
Handling cases based on intuition is pure self-deception.
How could an old oilman like Wei Chang make such a common-sense mistake, so Qi Qi didn't believe it at all.
The eldest girl looked at Wei Chang with a crusading gaze, until Wei Chang smiled embarrassedly, and then said:
"Li Xiong is an illegitimate child, despised since childhood, his personality is inevitably paranoid and arrogant, he left home at the age of eleven and wandered the world, his mother's relatives, he should rarely go around. In this way, he is in Chang'an City, and almost no one will pay attention to his existence. ”
"But he still has relatives." Qi Qi said.
Wei Chang immediately said: "His maiden family is a nobleman, I think you know the nobleman very well, and you will treat him as a stain, lest you avoid it." ”
Qi Qi didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and asked directly, "Who do you think killed you?" Why did I kill you? ”
"It must be Li Xiong who knows some secret." Wei Chang rubbed his nose and said, "I think your master, Mr. Ouyang, is right, we may break into a story." And this story has come to an end. The protagonist in this story is Li Xiong. The person who wanted to kill me originally just wanted to kill Li Xiong. As a result, they were worried that I knew the secret, so they were going to kill me now. ”
"Do you want to follow Li Xiong's train of thought and continue to investigate?" Qi Qi asked.
"We must first know what Li Xiong is investigating." Wei Chang said: "I think this incident must be related to his biological father Cao Mang. ”
"Have you been checking on Cao Mang for the past two days?"
"Yes."
"Any clues?"
"I asked Cao Mang's old department, but they didn't seem to know anything. And people in the Tao have always been like this, they can say less than one word, never say more. Because then it's easy to get into trouble. Wei Chang shook his head helplessly: "However, between the words, I can still feel that they can't understand Cao Mang's death." Although Cao Mang's health has deteriorated in recent years, they still feel that he died too suddenly. ”
"He's sick himself?" Qi Qi asked.
"Lang Zhong said he had liver disease." Wei Chang shrugged.
"Isn't it normal for people to die from liver disease?" Qi Qi frowned.
"Some liver diseases are chronic, Cao Mang is a chronic disease, and he hasn't hurt it yet. Taking a step back, even if it hurts, he can stop the pain by taking the Broken Intestine Grass, and he is not short of money. ”
"Have you checked it there?"
"After checking, the post-mortem report was clearly written, saying that he committed suicide." Wei Chang smiled bitterly: "So rich, he can live for at least a few years, why can't he suddenly think of committing suicide?" ”
Qi Qi thought for a while and said, "I think the report will definitely say that it is because I can't bear the torture of liver disease." ”
"Yes. This in itself is a big hole. As I said earlier, if it hurts, he'll take the Broken Intestine Herb. That kind of thing, ordinary people can't afford and can't buy it, but for him, it's at his fingertips. ”
"Then you think Cao Mang was killed." Qi Qi hugged his shoulders and said.
"This is also something that Li Xiong wants to investigate." Wei Chang looked into Qi Qi's eyes and said, "After all, that's his biological father." And over the years, Cao Mang has taken care of him a lot. Taking a step back, how could Cao Mang's inheritance be given to a concubine and not to his son? ”
Qi Qi leaned his back against the pillar, "You think that Li Xiong has already obtained some evidence." ”
"It should be Cui Qiaoqiao's evidence, after he determined who killed his father, he had to do two things. The first thing to do is to go to the government to prove that the will is fake, and then ask the government for the so-called gift. Of course, he wouldn't be so stupid as to get all the money back, at least the fixed assets would have to be recovered. At the same time, he can also get some other benefits from this, such as the fact that he can use the money that he will not return to claim official positions. I don't think the county magistrate can do this, at least he will talk to Jing Zhaoyin. ”
"Jing Zhaoyin won't want to kill him."
"Then only Cui Qiaoqiao will be left." Wei Chang said: "Unless she goes away and flies high." But do you think, she got so much money and was willing to leave the bustling Chang'an? ”
"And she's done it, proving that she's not leaving."
"That's right."
Qi Qi frowned: "So what does this have to do with Lin Sen?" ”
"Because Lin Sen has a relationship with Tang Xian," Wei Chang emphasized, "I think there may be a cooperative relationship between them." If you can catch Lin Sen's pigtails, maybe it won't be difficult to get Tang Xian. If it is determined that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, you can also find out that Cui Qiaoqiao. Moreover, Lin Sen is also engaged in the trading of broken intestine grass, and there should be no relationship between him and Cao Mang, the big snake head in the West Market. Either it's a partner or it's a rival. Therefore, Lin Sen is also very likely to be the one who killed Cao Mang. ”
"But in Cao Mang's legacy, there is no share of Lin Sen."
"For Lin Sen, the death of a competitor is in itself the best legacy."
"Then ......," Qi Qi suddenly fell into deep thought, and after thinking about it, he said, "Do you think Cui Qiaoqiao will be Jin Cai'er?" ”
"You're a bold idea." Wei Chang smiled bitterly: "I think Jin Cai'er is a person who needs to be protected, and she will never be a killer, and ...... I touched her hand, and it was soft, not calloused at all. I don't believe she's going to shoot her arrows accurately. ”
"Have you touched her hand?"
"Heh, Tang Xian has also touched your hand."
Then the two stopped talking. When it was almost lunch time, Wei Chang asked for two side dishes, a plate of meat in the pot and a plate of blood tofu.
"Thank you to the saint, without whom we would not have been able to eat such delicious food." Wei Chang gulped.
"It's too spicy." Qi Qi was a little unaccustomed to such stimulating food.
"Then you eat blood tofu."
"Won't it be fishy?" Qi Qi frowned and said.
"You eat it, it's better to dip it in soy sauce and eat it."
It was the first time Qi Qi had eaten such low-grade food, which was very strange, in the Academy of Bad People, the food was so monotonous that it was simply crazy. The last meal of potato chips, the next meal of potato chips, but Qi Qi did not feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, this kind of blood tofu was something she had never eaten. It's still a little scary to watch.
"Children from poor families eat blood tofu as a good food. And you haven't even eaten it. Wei Chang smiled bitterly: "I already know your background, no wonder Shi Jinchong can't afford to offend you." ”
"Don't talk about my background." Qi Qi felt that the blood tofu was still quite delicious. "What are you going to do in the afternoon?"
"Don't think about me, I'll walk around." Wei Chang thought for a while and said, "You go and retrieve Cao Mang's will, and then take a look at who the witnesses on it are." ”
"You want to get a shot from the witnesses?"
"If I were Li Xiong, I think I would do it."
"That's a good idea." Qi Qi sped up the pace of eating, "Then why are you going?" ”
Wei Chang smiled sneeringly, as if to say: Didn't I tell you just now?
Qi Qi said with a cold face: "I want to hear specifics." ”
Wei Chang knew that Qi Qi was very serious, so he simply compromised and said, "I want to go to two places, one is Fengyi Fang and the other is Xishi." Don't forget, Fengyi Fang is still our precinct. If something happens there and we don't know, it will be very troublesome during the assessment. ”
"Do you still know that you care about assessments?"
"Why don't you care? You think I'm a nobleman like you? Wei Chang smiled contemptuously and pouted his chin: "You paid for this meal." ”
"Dengzi!" Qi Qi dropped a few coins and left angrily.
After eating, Wei Chang ran to Fengyi Fang first and found Yusan. After inquiring about the situation in the past two days, there is nothing serious, but a few little daughters-in-law of good families have been hooked by the party in the fang, and now they are no longer good daughters-in-law.
"You don't have to tell me this kind of in the future." Wei Chang patted Yu San on the shoulder: "Pay attention to your boss's movements." After finding out all his relationships, tell me. ”
"Master Wei, there is something I want to ask you," Yu San said with a bitter face, "Will you definitely be assigned to Fengyi Fang in the future?" ”
"I think so."
"This workshop isn't very good. The population is small, there are few shops, and everyone still thinks that this place is unlucky. ”
"I know." Wei Chang chewed mint: "Among this batch of students, I have the least support. So this worst part has to be mine. ”
"You don't have a backer yet?" Yu San couldn't believe it: "Everyone has a legend that you and Datong Defense Envoy Cen Yun are iron buddies. ”
"Do you think this little is worth asking Cen Yun for help?"
Yu San smiled, "Yes, too." ”
Yu San smiled a little bitterly, and he noticed duplicity at a glance.
Wei Chang smiled bitterly and said, "There are no bad places, only bad people." My goal is not here, but it is here. ”
"Sir, you are an aspirant. In the future, Yusan will follow you. You asked me to collect the bottom of Boss Hong, in fact, I already knew it in my heart, just waiting for you to really be on duty. He patted his chest and said, "I have a few brothers who have died. ”
"When the time comes, we must do it cleanly, you and my brother will wipe out Boss Hong in one fell swoop. At that time, you will collect information about the snakeheads in the nearby markets, and remember, how big my territory is, how big your territory is. ”
"Wei Ye!" Yu San looked a little excited: "With your words, Yu San went to the soup." ”
With Yusan's help, even if Wei Chang is not in Fengyifang, he will not leave one thing behind, and his way of doing things is more accurate than Qi Qi's walking all over the street.
This is Wei Chang's cleverness, which Qi Qi cannot make up for through hard work. A serious person may not be a capable person; People who seem vague are not necessarily confused.
Leave Yusan and come to West City.
The alley in the West Market is not as simple as Fengyi Fang, and people like Boss Hong are at best a little brother in the West Market.
Even Wei Chang can't completely eat here. And he didn't catch the little snake head here, because he couldn't be sure how many masters he caught.
Came to Cao Mang's former residence, with a seal on it. An old beggar dressed in quails fell to the door with his hair scattered, and fell asleep.
Squatted down and looked at the old beggar carefully, although his face was full of dirt, but his face was full of red light.
Wei Chang sneered and pushed the old beggar.
"Uncle Zhang, this is for you." As he spoke, he handed Zhang Laohan a wine gourd.
Zhang Laohan grinned, and could only see one front tooth.
Wei Chang sat down: "I know you are the old snake head here, tell me, how powerful is Lin Sen here?" ”
"Oh, Master Wei, you think too highly of me, I'm a stinky beggar now, and I don't want to mention a snake." Zhang Laohan took a greedy sip of wine.
"Hehe," Wei Chang smiled bitterly: "The situation in the West Market is changing, a new generation of snakeheads appear, the old snakeheads will definitely die, but you have lived until now." He smiled slyly: "Don't pretend to be a grandson with me." ”
