Chapter 118: Murder
"This case is like this, outside the king of Chang'an City, his second son Wang Xuan died in his eldest son Wang Duo's room, and his eldest son Wang Duo disappeared, there are traces of a fight at the scene of the murder, Wang Xuan has multiple knife wounds on his body, in addition, the money and property in Wang Duo's room are gone, the time of the crime should be last night."
Han Qing briefly talked about the situation, but Cui Shaoqing was confused after listening to it, because according to what Han Qing said, it seemed that he couldn't speculate anything.
"Did you send someone to find that Wang Duo?"
"I sent someone to look for it, but there are no clues so far."
Cui Shaoqing nodded, and then said to Li Shimin: "Saint, you must be cautious in this case, if you want to solve the case, I am afraid that you will have to go to the king's house." ”
Li Shimin said: "Yes, I will go with you, it just so happens that I also want to see what is going on." ”
"This ...... The Holy One is safe......"
"It's okay, I'm not afraid, what are you worried about?"
"Okay, then let's go to the king's house."
After saying that, Han Qing took them to Wang Yuanwai's house.
This Wang Yuanwai's mansion is very large, and at a glance you know that it is a rich man, and after they came, the Wang Yuanwai walked out with the support of his third son Wang Wen.
"Lord Han, you must avenge my son, you must find the murderer......"
Wang Yuanwai is already over seventy years old, and his body is a little weak, and now he has encountered a catastrophe, and after a big cry, he looks even weaker, as if he may not go over at any time.
Han Qing said: "Don't worry, I invited Master Cui Shaoqing and Cui over, he is here, this case will definitely be solved?" ”
"Oh, Master Cui? Can Master Cui solve the case? ”
Cui Shaoqing's reputation is still good in Chang'an City, but the people in Wannian County know about solving the case, but few people in Chang'an City know about it.
Han Qing said: "Don't worry, Master Cui will definitely be able to solve the case." ”
Seeing this, Wang Yuanwai didn't ask much, just nodded: "Okay, if Lord Cui has any orders, just mention it, in order to avenge my son, you can do whatever you want." ”
Cui Shaoqing said: "Can you go to the scene of the murder?" ”
"Yes, Wen'er, you take them there, I'm tired of my father."
After Wang Wenying next to him got down, he took Cui Shaoqing and them to Wang Duo's room.
This Wang Wen is seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as Cui Shaoqing, and his appearance is also good, giving people the feeling of a handsome son.
At this time, there was a slight sadness in his face.
"Master Cui, I think this case may be committed by a thief, when he robbed the money, he met my second brother, and then killed my second brother, because a few days ago, a few gold cakes were stolen from our house, and after the thief succeeded, he came a second time, and he never thought that this time he was touched."
On the way to the scene of the crime, Wang Wen talked about this, and Cui Shaoqing listened to it and said, "There was a theft case in your mansion before?" ”
"Yes, but because the money that was stolen was not very large, we didn't report it."
Cui Shaoqing sighed and said, "It seems that your mansion must be very rich, a few pieces of gold cakes were stolen, and they didn't report the case, I don't know what your mansion has done?" ”
"Our family is mainly engaged in the medicinal herb business, and it is quite large."
"I don't think Wang Yuanwai's body is very good, I don't know if he is still in charge?"
"My father doesn't take care of things anymore, most of the business is handed over to the eldest brother to manage, my second brother is greedy for fun on weekdays, and he doesn't like this very much, and I am preparing for the imperial examination, so I don't take care of things."
Cui Shaoqing chatted with that Wang Wen like this, and soon, they came to the scene of the murder.
Wang Duo, as the current helmsman of the Wang family, his room is still very gorgeous, but a pool of blood in the house makes these gorgeousness seem so out of place.
The house was a bit messy, and although the body of the deceased had been carried away, there was a drawing on the ground of the shape of the body at that time.
According to Han Qing's previous narrative, Cui Shaoqing could somewhat imagine what the situation was at that time.
"This is the boss's room, why did your second brother die here?"
"I don't know about this, maybe the second brother is looking for my eldest brother to have something, but my eldest brother is not there, and at this time, the thief happened to be in the house, so the two had a conflict, and the second brother was defeated by the thief and was killed."
Cui Shaoqing touched his chin and asked, "Isn't your eldest brother usually here at night?" ”
"Yes, sometimes there are a lot of things in the store, so he sleeps in the store, and occasionally he goes home to sleep."
Cui Shaoqing nodded and said, "Was your eldest brother at home yesterday?" ”
"I don't know about this, because I want to prepare for next year's imperial examination, I've been reading in my room, and things outside are not very clear, I think the eldest brother should be at home, this adult can ask the eldest brother's little guy."
"Where's the little guy?"
Cui Shaoqing asked, and it didn't take long for a small guy to be brought in.
"Are you Wang Duo's servant?"
"Yes, sir."
"Did Wang Duo return home last night?"
"When he returned home, he was personally sent back by the little one."
"Do you know where he went?"
"It's not clear, the second son gave me a sum of money and asked me to help me buy wine, because he gave me a little too much, so I went to Xianghao, I didn't want to drink a few more glasses of wine in Xianghao, and when I woke up, it was late at night, because of the curfew, I didn't go home."
"You are the eldest son's little servant, but the second son gave you money to buy wine?"
"The second son likes to call people, and he has a bad temper, so I don't dare to refuse."
Asked this, Cui Shaoqing paused slightly, and then asked, "What is the relationship between the eldest son and the second prince on weekdays?" ”
"It's not very good, the second son is a little unlearned and unskilled on weekdays, and he often asks the eldest son for money, and the eldest son once reprimanded him for this."
After the little guy finished speaking, Han Qing said: "Master Cui, could it be that this Wang Xuan asked Wang Duo for money again, but Wang Duo didn't give it, and the two had a conflict because of this, so Wang Duo killed Wang Xuan by mistake, and he killed someone, for fear of losing his life, so he fled in a hurry?" ”
Wang Duo went home, but he was nowhere to be found, so only this explanation is the most plausible.
When Han Qing said this, Li Shimin also nodded beside him, he also felt that it was this Wang Duo who killed Wang Xuan, and then absconded with the crime.
However, after Han Qing finished saying this, Wang Wen immediately shook his head: "Impossible, even if the relationship between my eldest brother and the second brother is not good, it is absolutely impossible for the eldest brother to kill the second brother, impossible, this is absolutely impossible." ”。
Wang Wen didn't seem to believe that this would be the case.
"Maybe Wang Xuan wanted to kill Wang Duo, but he was killed back, your eldest brother won't kill your second brother, but your second brother is afraid that he will kill your eldest brother, right? Think about it, your eldest brother is dead, and the family property is your second brother's. ”
