Chapter 342: The Hanged Man

The night is getting deeper, and the wind and rain don't stop.

Su Wuming fell asleep early, but Huo Xin couldn't sleep anymore.

Now, they have almost investigated the clues related to the two murders, but none of them can confirm who the murderer is, and they don't even know the motive of the murderer now?

The wind is howling, the night is dark, and I don't know how many sins will be staged.

The next day, the weather was sunny and the air was fresh, making people want to open their mouths wide and take a few more breaths, Huo Xin didn't sleep all night, and hurriedly went to the post house after dawn, and told Su Wuming what happened last night, Su Wuming frowned slightly after listening, if Mrs. Hu and her good looks are not murderers, then who will be the murderers?

At this time, Su Wuming, like Huo Xin, was in a predicament.

Su Wuming's illness was almost cured, because the air was fresh, he invited Huo Xin to accompany him around, Huo Xin naturally readily agreed, although he was worried that the murder would be difficult to solve on the way, he didn't dare to disturb Su Wuming in the slightest.

The number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and the vendors on both sides also started to open, and the people looked like they were living and working in peace and contentment, which made people's hearts warm and warm.

And at this time, several people gathered together and muttered quietly, which made people feel very suspicious.

However, although they were quiet, Su Wuming and they still heard a sentence or two.

"Did you hear, that leap brother hanged himself last night!"

"Alas, why haven't you heard that their family is so unfortunate, just a few days after his father hanged himself, he hanged himself again, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

When these words reached the ears of Su Wuming, Huo Xin and the others, they couldn't believe that it was true, so Huo Xin came to those people and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Those few people were frightened by Huo Xin's question, and they were suddenly afraid to speak, Huo Xin frowned slightly, and said, "You just said that Hu Yan died?" ”

"Big ...... My lord, that Hu Yan hanged himself last night, and I ...... That's what I heard about this morning. ”

Huo Xin turned his head to look at Su Wuming and said, "Master Su, this matter?" ”

Su Wuming nodded: "Let's go to the Hu family, this thing is too weird, within a few days, both father and son hanged themselves, it's too impossible." ”

Huo Xin broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, thinking to himself why these things happened at this time, if he didn't handle it well, how could he be this county order, although the official position of the county order was not big, but a good jurisdiction place was better than nothing.

The group rushed to the Hu family, it was a very good mansion, I wanted to come to Hu Dong to do business over the years and made a lot of money, when a few people entered, there was a crying sound inside, as well as some suona sounds, I think it was this family invited to do things.

After the few of them entered the Hu family, a housekeeper-like person greeted him, he recognized Huo Xin, so when he saw Huo Xin, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly greeted him and asked, "I don't know if the county commander has arrived, and I am far away." ”

Huo Xin waved his hand slightly: "I heard that Hu Yan hanged himself last night?" ”

"Back to adults, my son-in-law did hang himself, and now Mrs. ...... The lady is in the mourning hall. ”

Su Wuming and Huo Xin both knew that Hu Yan had not yet married a wife, so the lady mentioned by the housekeeper must be the continuation of Hu Dong.

"Take us to the mourning hall."

The housekeeper didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led him away, and those who were doing things and blowing suona also stopped, and the originally noisy place quickly turned into quiet.

In the mourning hall, a thirty-year-old lady Fengyun was sobbing, she was not sad to cry, but it was also like revealing her true feelings, after the housekeeper introduced Huo Xin and others, the woman hurriedly got up and saluted, Huo Xin glanced at the woman and said, "Hu Yan hanged himself last night?" ”

Madame nodded slightly: "Run'er did hang herself, my lord." ”

Huo Xin frowned slightly: "A few days ago, your husband Hu Dong hanged himself, and now Hu Yan hanged himself again, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"Folk women...... The women also felt strange, but the women didn't know anything. ”

"Is there anything unusual about Hu Run?"

"Nope!"

"This is Lord Su sent by the imperial court, we want to take a look at Hu Yan's body."

"This ......"

The woman was a little embarrassed, but she didn't hesitate for a long time, nodded and said, "Please!" ”

The two officials lifted the coffin, and then saw Hu Yan, on his neck, there were indeed traces of being strangled by ropes, Su Wuming carefully checked it, the strangulation marks were very clear, and there were no traces of hands and feet, but in addition to this, there were still other suspicious points.

That is the mouth of the deceased, when Su Wuming pried the deceased's mouth open, he found that the deceased's tongue was rolled in, and there was foam, this is definitely not what hanging, when ordinary people hang themselves, they will feel difficult to breathe, so even if they hang themselves, they will instinctively open their mouths, their tongues stretch out, and the tongue is involuted, and they are foamy, more like when the deceased is killed, there is no consciousness at all.

What the hell is going on?

When Su Wuming inspected Hu Dong last time, Hu Dong did not have these traces, he did hang himself, but Hu Yan did, he was very likely to be stunned first, and then hanged himself, who is this person?

It is very difficult to make a person look like he was hanged, but there must be a motive for killing Hu Yan.

Now, the entire Hu family, except for the lady of Hu Dong Xuxian, has no relatives, and the two of them have died one after another, and the property of the Hu family naturally fell into the hands of this woman, right?

Su Wuming turned his head slightly and glanced at the woman, the woman's eyes were red and swollen, and she cried for a long time, would a woman like her kill Hu Yan?

Su Wuming told his investigation, and looked at the woman and asked, "Madame is the most suspicious now, what do you have to explain about this?" ”

The woman looked at Su Wuming, a little incredulous, and then shook her head again and again: "I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't." ”

"But you're the one with the most motivation."

The woman was pitiful, Huo Xin turned his head and glanced at Su Wuming, Su Wuming's face was cold, as if he wanted to force the woman to admit to murder.

But soon, Su Wuming shrugged his shoulders again and asked, "Who entered Hu Yan's room last night?" ”

The people of Hu Mansion looked at each other, and then they all shook their heads, it rained so hard last night, they were all resting in their own rooms, and no one went to Hu Yan's room.

"Who ate what Hu Yan ate last night?"

"In the past few days, because of the death of his husband, Hu Yan has been losing his appetite, and his meals are brought into the house by his subordinates, but he doesn't eat much."

After listening to the woman's words, Su Wuming frowned slightly and said, "Is yesterday's dinner still there?" ”

"It's already thrown away!"

Huo Xin was taken aback and said, "Already thrown away?" ”

The woman nodded: "Leftovers, throw them away after eating." ”

Huo Xin glanced at Su Wuming a little helplessly, Su Wuming frowned slightly, there must be something wrong with those meals, she threw the food away, did she want to destroy the evidence?

It's just that in this situation, there is no evidence, and there is no way to prove that she is the murderer.

"We want to go to Hu Yan's room to have a look, can we?"

The woman nodded, and then led Su Wuming and them towards Hu Yan's room.

Entering the room, Su Wuming suddenly had a strange feeling, but why did he feel this way, he didn't know at all, in the innermost part of the room, there was a bed, a bed that was half larger than an ordinary bed, in addition to the bed, there was a wardrobe, a very small round table, there was no mirror in the room, and the bed was messy.

After Su Wuming saw this, he pointed to the bed and said, "Hu Yan sleeps alone, do you need such a big bed?" ”

The woman wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Hu Yan is not honest when he sleeps, he always falls out of bed, and his husband knows Hu Yan's problem, so he asked people to make him a big bed." ”

Su Wuming nodded slightly, he knew that it was a habit that a person was not honest when he slept honestly, it may be a habit he developed when he was a child, Hu Yan's family was poor when he was a child, and the sleeping conditions were not good, and it was extremely possible to turn around indiscriminately when he couldn't sleep.

"There aren't a lot of things in the house, and Hu Yan made it himself?"

"Well, he doesn't seem to like having too much stuff in the house, and that's always been the case."

"Not even a mirror?"

"No, he felt that there were mirrors in the house, as if it was not real."

Su Wuming frowned slightly, this was the first time he had heard of this statement, there was a bronze mirror in the house, what was untrue?

This Hu Yan is really strange.

After reading it like this, Su Wuming suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "What does Hu Yan usually do?" ”

"In the past, when the master was there, he often followed the master to take care of the business, and after the master hanged himself, he locked himself in the house and didn't go anywhere."

"So, the relationship between their father and son is very good?"

"Of course, they are father and son who share hardships, I remember that two years ago, Hu Yan fell in love with a girl, but the master did not agree, and Hu Yan resolutely cut off contact with that woman."

"How can such a thing happen?" Su Wuming was a little surprised, he really didn't expect that there would be such a man in the world, if this was the case, his father's death would be a heavy blow to Hu Yan.

Unconsciously, Su Wuming seemed to remember the first time he saw him, Hu Yan's lost soul, and his amazing feeling.

It turned out that this qiē originated from his love for his father.

But even so, Hu Dong committed suicide undoubtedly, but he was obviously murdered, who was he who wanted to murder a man like Hu Yan, the woman in front of her, was she the murderer, did she take a fancy to the Hu family's money?

What does she need?
