Chapter 094: Theft
Scar-eyed, Jinding, this is the person the official needs to find, and no one can determine who the murderer is.
However, although he couldn't be sure, Su Wuming made several lists - Scareye, Jin Ding, Qi Zhong and Du Feng.
Among them, Scareye may say that he would kidnap Qi Fang because he wanted to get money, and even secretly went to Qi Fa and asked Qi Fa to take money to ransom his daughter, but Qi Fa didn't agree, so he killed because of it. It is naturally reasonable to do this kind of reasoning, Scareye has several brothers under him, since he wants to finish this ticket and go elsewhere, then naturally the more money he gets, the better, but with his own brothers, he will get much less, and he will go to Qi Fa to ask for money by himself, which makes sense.
Jin Ding, he had a marriage contract with Qi Fang, if he had seen Qi Fa and asked to marry Qi Fang, Qi Fa would definitely not agree, and Jin Ding's conduct would inevitably be unleashed against Qi, so it makes sense to kill people.
Qi Zhong is Qi Fa's nephew, he is the most suspicious of murder, because Qi Fang was kidnapped, if he kills Qi Fa, then no one will pay for ransom, and Qi Fang's chance of coming back is very small, so that all the property of the Qi family will fall into his hands, and it is very possible for people to kill people for money.
Then there is Du Feng, Du Feng is burly, short-tempered, and likes to gamble, Qi Fa broke one of his legs before, causing him to only live by guarding the door, he must have a grudge against Qi Fa, if he wants to take revenge on Qi Fa, it is likely to kill people because of this, but he went to the gambling house that day, and the result, now I don't know, I think it is only to go to Baiyin Temple to save people these days, then Song Jingtian has no time to deal with this matter, and as a result, I don't know if Du Feng really went to the gambling house that day.
After saying this again, Su Wuming and the others were ready to wait for news, he believed that as long as Scareye or Jin Ding could be found, there would be a breakthrough in this case.
And just as several people were about to wait for the news, a servant hurriedly came to report that a woman had come to report that her family's jewelry had been stolen.
Like this kind of trivial matter, Su Wuming has no intention of taking care of it, but now that he has nothing to do, Song Jingtian and Zhuge Kong both want to pull him to join in the fun, Su Wuming can't, so he has to go to the lobby with them.
Like this kind of theft, it doesn't matter if Stinway assassinates, so most of the people who ascend to the hall have Zhuge Kong, and Zhuge Kong is also a witty person, and it is more than enough to deal with this kind of thing.
After ascending to the hall, an old woman went up to the lobby, and when she came up, she immediately cried, "My lord, you must be the master of the old woman, old woman...... The old woman's jewelry was stolen......"
After Zhuge Kong listened to the woman's words, he immediately said: "You take it slowly, what do you have, and how was it stolen?" ”
"Back to adults, those jewelry is my life's accumulation, not to mention it is worth dozens of taels of silver, usually, those jewelry I hide under the bed in the bedroom, every few days I have to take it out to see, it just so happened that today is the time, I took it out to check, but when I opened the box, I found that it was all empty, my jewelry was all gone."
After listening to this woman's words, Zhuge Kong frowned and asked, "Who is in your family?" ”
"There is only one son in the family, but my son is very well-behaved, and he will never do such a stealing thing!" The woman looked at Zhuge Kong and decided that the thief was someone from outside.
Zhuge thought for a while, and then asked: "Since your jewelry is placed under the bed, if outsiders go in and steal it, you must know when there is no one at home in the past few days?" ”
"The old body has always been at home, think about it carefully, the only thing that is not at home these days is that day, it rained a lot that day, the old body is bored sitting at home, so I went to chat with friends, and my son went out and did not return, there was no one in our house that day, adult, I think the thief must have sneaked into the house at that time to steal."
Zhuge Kong nodded slightly, but what can he do if he knows the time, it was raining heavily at that time, and no one had ever seen a thief, who could know who the thief was?
Everyone and Zhuge Kong have the same idea, they feel that this case is very difficult to handle, although this case is very small, but there are no witnesses, let alone anyone who can be suspected, how to break it?
After letting the woman leave, Zhuge Kong looked at Su Wuming and said, "How does Lord Su think this case should be investigated?" ”
Su Wuming thought for a while and said: "Actually, this thing is not difficult to do, it's just a little troublesome, although those jewelry are worth a little money, the available jewelry can't be used to buy things, if you want to buy something, the thief must exchange the jewelry for money, in this case, Lord Zhuge can send someone to investigate the pawnshops to see if anyone has gone to the pawnshop to be these jewelry, and then there is, the jewelry is hidden under the bed, and it is not easy for outsiders to know, so the thief can steal those things, he must have monitored this woman for a long time, and sent someone to ask the neighbors, Look at the suspicious people they haven't noticed. ”
After saying this, Zhuge Kong nodded again and again: "Okay, just do what Master Su said." ”
After the officials were sent out, the spies who went to investigate Du Feng came back, and after they came back, they said: "My lord, Du Feng did go to the gambling house that day, but he left after losing all the money, and he didn't stay in it for a long time. ”
Su Wuming nodded, indicating that he understood, and at this time, the spy said: "According to the investigation of Du Feng in the past few days, he has been very uncomfortable at home, and he didn't even go to watch the door for others, and after this afternoon, he left the house quietly, as for what to do, I'm afraid it will not be decided until the brother who went with him comes back." ”
After listening to the spies, everyone had to continue to wait.
Before evening, the people sent by Zhuge Kong rushed back, and they said that no pawnshop had received the woman's jewelry, and as for the suspicious people who were monitoring the woman, none of them had been seen.
Nothing was given to these two clues, and everyone was suddenly stumped by a small theft.
And just when everyone was embarrassed by this small theft, a spy hurriedly came to report that he had brought Du Feng here.
Everyone was a little surprised, but what suspicious thing did Du Feng do, so that this spy brought him here?
"What the hell is going on?"
"The subordinates followed Du Feng, saw him go to a corner of the wall to pick up, and finally pulled out a bag of jewelry, and the subordinates thought he was stealing, so they arrested him."
Everyone was a little surprised, Zhuge Kong hurriedly ordered someone to bring Du Feng over, after escorting Du Feng here, Zhuge Kong and others first took a look at those jewelry, and saw that these jewelry were all lost by the woman who reported the case today, Zhuge Kong and others were even more surprised, and they were very puzzled, they were investigating the murder of Qi Fa, but how could they solve the case of the theft of women's jewelry in a daze?
Zhuge Kong looked at Du Feng coldly and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Du Feng was very frightened in his heart and said, "This ...... This is something that the villain picked up by chance. ”
"Nonsense, I see where you have been picking up for a long time, how could it be that you picked it up by chance?" The spy yelled.
And at this time, Zhuge Kong smiled coldly: "This official advises you to explain honestly, otherwise you will suffer from your hardships, you have already broken one leg, do you want to break the other leg too?" ”
At the mention of his legs, Du Feng's heart suddenly tightened, and then he kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy: "Adults spare their lives, villains are all recruited, these jewelry are stolen by villains, after the rain that day, the villain lost money in the gambling house, and his heart was very unhappy, I knew that there was a family with these jewelry, so I went to investigate in the rain, and found that there was no one at home, I thought that God was helping me, so I hurriedly went in and stole these things, after stealing them, I was afraid of being suspected, so I didn't dare to take these things home, but found a place to hide." ”
After listening to Du Feng's words, Zhuge Kong carefully asked Du Feng where he stole it, and after asking like this, they were even more sure that this Du Feng was the thief who stole the woman's jewelry.
After figuring out this, Su Wuming frowned, if Du Feng really went to the gambling house and then went to steal these jewelry, then after doing this, he should have no time to kill again, right?
In other words, because of a theft case, this Du Feng suddenly had no suspicion of murder!
This is a blessing or a curse for Du Feng, after Zhuge Kong figured out what happened, he ordered someone to put Du Feng in prison, and sent someone to send these jewelry to the woman, after doing this, Zhuge Kong smiled lightly: "This matter is really too dramatic, what does Master Su think?" ”
Su Wuming nodded: "It's indeed very dramatic, who would have thought that the murderer we have always suspected would end up being nothing more than a thief who stole the old woman's jewelry!" ”
"Then what is Lord Su going to do now?"
"Wait, wait for a few people to find Scareye and Jinding."
Now they have to wait.
And while they were waiting, Su Wuming suddenly wanted to take a look at Qi Mansion, and now Nangong Yan was there alone to protect Qi Fang, and he didn't know what was going on.
After dusk, the autumn breeze was getting cooler, and the leaves were flying all over the ground, so after Jiang Ying escorted Wen Wan'er back to the post house to rest, Su Wuming and Tang Xiong went to Qi's mansion, and on their way to Qi's mansion, they met Lin Yun, who had been investigating Qi Zhong, and after Lin Yun saw Su Wuming, he told Su Wuming that Qi Zhong was very responsible these days, and he had been managing the affairs of Qi's mansion and Qi's shop, and there was nothing unusual.
This was just what Lin Yun saw, and whether this was the case or not, they had to go in to find out.
When they went, the atmosphere in the house was a little bleak, Qi Zhong was instructing his subordinates to do things, he saw Su Wuming and others coming, and hurriedly greeted him, and arched his hand: "Thank you Lord Su for helping us find Fang Mei back, Fang Mei can be safe and sound, and the grass people will rest assured." ”
Su Wuming saw that Qi Zhong was so polite, he couldn't help but have to chat a few more words, and while they were chatting, Nangong Yan hurriedly ran over because he learned that Su Wuming was coming, and when Su Wuming saw Nangong Yan running out, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said, "You don't want to protect Qi Fang, what are you doing here?" ”
