Chapter 111: Poisoning People
Su Wuming's arrival relieved Qian Sheng, and he greeted him again and again, saying, "Master Su, what should I do about this matter?" ”
Su Wuming's brows condensed slightly, and he didn't care about Qian Sheng, glanced at Cheng Zhong and the others, and asked, "What's the matter, how are you sure that Zheng Fei is the murderer?" ”
Cheng Zhong usually likes the wind and snow moon the most, and his eloquence is also good, listening to Su Wuming's question, he hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Master Su, this matter is obvious, Zheng Fei escaped from my father's house in a hurry, my father is dead, he is not the murderer, who is the murderer?" ”
According to Cheng Zhong, this Zheng Fei's suspicion is indeed very big, but the case cannot be so hasty, Su Wuming glanced at Zheng Fei who was kneeling in the hall and asked, "What do you have to say?" ”
Zheng Fei trembled, nervous, and begged for mercy again and again: "Master Su is aware that the villain really didn't kill Old Man Cheng, when the villain went to his room, he was already dead, and his death has nothing to do with Xiao's death!" ”
"What are you doing in Cheng Yu's room?"
"Villain...... The villain knew that the matter with Miss Qing made Old Man Cheng sad, so he thought about begging Old Lady Cheng and begging him not to drive Miss Qing out of Cheng's mansion, but as soon as I entered the room, I saw Old Man Cheng's body, which ...... It has nothing to do with the small thing. ”
As soon as Zheng Fei finished speaking, Cheng Die immediately snorted coldly and said, "Nonsense, I think it's clear that you begged my father to fail, and you killed him with bad intentions." ”
The voices of condemnation suddenly rose one after another, Zheng Fei knelt in the lobby, very helpless and desperate, and now he couldn't argue.
Su Wuming didn't want to listen to these useless denunciations, and after waving his hand to stop everyone's uproar, he said, "Go back to Cheng Mansion to see Cheng Yu's body!" ”
When he returned to Cheng's mansion, Zheng Fei was temporarily imprisoned in the prison, which made Cheng Zhong and the others very satisfied, after all, Zheng Fei was in the prison, which somewhat showed that Qian Sheng and Su Wuming were suspicious of him.
Cheng Mansion is very chaotic, and the people don't know what to do, but it's not appropriate to get together to chat, so they can only be busy in the end, because of Cheng Yu's death, even Cheng Li, the old housekeeper of Cheng Mansion, doesn't know what to do for a while.
Su Wuming and the others went directly into Cheng Yu's bedroom, which was a very elegant bedroom, with a few pots of chrysanthemums in front of the window, and the chrysanthemums were opening at this time, exuding a faint fragrance.
Cheng Yu's body was laid flat on the bed, and according to the maid who found it, it was like this when it was found, but because he saw his eyes closed and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, he recognized that he was dead.
At this time, the blood at the corner of Cheng Yu's mouth had dried up, and Su Wuming took a look at it, and he was sure that he was poisoned and died, because Cheng Yu's lips were purple, and blood flowed out of his eyes and nostrils, which was an obvious sign of poisoning.
Everyone has followed Su Wuming for a long time, and they understand a little bit about the way of autopsy, so before Su Wuming can speak, Nangong Yan has already preemptively said: "He was poisoned?" ”
Su Wuming nodded: "It was indeed poisoned." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh, the Cheng family was killed two people one after another, this is not a trivial matter, and when everyone sighed about this matter, Cheng Zhong and they immediately shouted, saying that the murderer was Zheng Fei, and he must be severely punished.
It's just that Su Wuming frowned, because he felt that this matter was very strange, looking at the poison in Cheng Yu, it was not a very violent poison, after poisoning to death, there should be a period of time, if the poisoner was Zheng Fei, there was no need for him to leave after Cheng Yu's death, and the poisoning thing could not be done in person, and Cheng Yu hated Zheng Fei, let alone let Zheng Fei succeed easily.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Wuming asked, "What did Cheng Yuke eat around evening?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't know, and finally set their eyes on Xia He and Xia Ting, they are Cheng Yu's concubines, responsible for all Cheng Yu's daily life, what Cheng Yu ate, they should know.
But the two of them also shook their heads, saying they didn't know.
I searched for it in Cheng Yu's bedroom, and I didn't see any things that might have been poisoned in it, there was no food or wine here, and after Cheng Yu was poisoned, these things that might be venom carriers were taken away by the murderer.
If the murderer took those things with him when he left, then Zheng Fei was even more unlikely to be the murderer, because he left in a hurry and had nothing in his hand?
If Zheng Fei is not the murderer, then who will be the murderer, and what is the murderer's motive for killing Cheng Yu?
This made Su Wuming think of the news that came out of Cheng's mansion before, Cheng Yu was going to make a will, if he made this will, some people would immediately lose because of this, and even lose their identities and family property.
Perhaps the murderer learned some information about the will from some sources, and for his own interests, he did not hesitate to kill again.
Is it another raid?
Su Wuming felt that the person who killed Cheng Bo and the person who killed Cheng Yu may or may not be the same person.
The existence of Cheng Bo hindered the interests of Cheng Zhong, Cheng Die, Cheng Dong, and Cheng Qing in Cheng Fu, and the existence of Cheng Yu may only hinder the interests of one or two people, so the murderer of Cheng Fu's murder may be one person, two people, three people, or more people.
When he thought of this, Su Wuming suddenly felt chills all over his body, he felt that Cheng Mansion was really terrible, here, he couldn't feel the value of family affection at all, people here can slander each other for their own interests, and they can kill people desperately, which is really chilling.
If everyone in the world is like this, then what is the point of living?
The battle in the courtyard of the deep house is terrifying.
Su Wuming let out a long sigh, then looked at Cheng Yu's children and asked, "Around the evening, where are you all and who are you with?" ”
Several people looked at each other, and then told them where they were at the time, and after Su Wuming and the others heard it, they felt that this was a very strange thing, because when Cheng Yu was poisoned, these people all had alibi certificates.
First of all, Cheng Yu's original wife's family, Cheng Zhong, Cheng Die, Lu Wei and others, all chatted together, of course, at this time, everyone knew very well that they were not chatting together, but thinking about how to break down the concubine family, so that they could hide from the Cheng Mansion industry.
Although they are usually enemies, at this critical juncture, it is very beneficial for them to be able to win more supporters.
The concubine's family also got together to chat at that time, of course, their family chatted except Zheng Fei, although Cheng Qing and Zheng Fei had a very good relationship, but at this time, they dared to pull Zheng Fei there.
And when they got together to chat, they naturally thought about how to make Cheng Yu happy, let him let Cheng Qing go, and then how to get the Cheng family's property.
Cheng Yu wants to make a will, indicating that he has no confidence in his body, if he dies and the family property falls into the hands of Cheng Zhong and their lineage, then their concubines will have no way to live, so no matter what, they must get the Cheng Mansion's property.
Xia He and Xia Ting are Cheng Yu's concubines, and they should be able to guess some of Cheng Yu's thoughts, if they learn the content of Cheng Yu's will, will they take action?
These are nameless speculations, but they are very likely to be true, but after he makes such guesses, he must find evidence to verify these guesses.
Su Wuming's speculations are not easy to verify, because these people have alibi, or rather, they all testify to each other, saying that when Cheng Yu was poisoned, they were really together, and the only person who had a chance to poison seemed to be Zheng Fei, but Zheng Fei was unlikely to be the murderer.
Su Wuming felt that these people must have lied, and they must have covered up for each other, but why did they cover up that person, was it because they were on the same front, or for other reasons?
Su Wuming suddenly thought of Cheng Bo's wife, her husband was killed, and the murderer was in Cheng's mansion, and they would definitely not be in the same boat as others.
It's just that what makes Su Wuming feel strange is that they didn't see Cheng Bo's wife, not even Cheng Bo's daughter Cheng Rou.
Su Wuming looked at Cheng Zhong and asked the question in his heart, and when Su Wuming asked this question, Cheng Zhong seemed a little hesitant, and said after a long time: "Because the eldest brother was killed, his widow suddenly proposed to keep a wake for the eldest brother, so the father arranged them all in a manor outside Qiantang County, and gave them the manor, they can live in it for as long as they want." ”
Su Wuming's brows condensed slightly, feeling that this matter also made sense, but it just gave people a strange feeling.
"Now that Cheng Yu is dead, won't they come back?"
"I've already sent someone to inform them, but even if I want to come back, I'm afraid it will have to wait until tomorrow, after all, if it's late today, the city gate will be closed soon, and the manor is some distance from Qiantang County, so it will take time to rush back and forth."
After listening to Cheng Zhong's words, Su Wuming nodded slightly, and after nodding, he glanced out of the door, and before he knew it, the sky was already dark, and the autumn breeze outside was bleak, which really felt a little heartbreaking.
It was not early, Su Wuming glanced at Qian Sheng, and said, "Lord Qian, after placing the corpse, go back!" ”
Qian Sheng didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he promised it again and again.
When a few people left Chengfu, there were not many pedestrians on the street, the cooking smoke was thinning, and occasionally a few dogs could be smelled barking, when Qiantang County was quiet, it was very delicate, very beautiful, and very peaceful, people couldn't imagine that under this tranquility, there was actually murder and crime.
On the way back, Su Wuming said to Jiang Ying: "You can have a good meal later, then rest for a while, and after resting, go to monitor Lu Wei." ”
"Spying on Lu Wei?" Jiang Ying was a little puzzled.
