Chapter 020: The murder case is solved
The wind blew in the night, accompanied by the chirping of insects.
Somewhere in Luoyang City, a figure loomed in the window, and the lights in the house were like beans.
The man in the room stared at the letter on the table for a long time, and after a long time, he finally gritted his teeth, put the letter on the fire and burned it all, and then he pushed open the window and looked out, and saw that no one was paying attention, and then went back to the house to rest.
The next day it was cloudy, and it seemed like it was going to rain again.
As soon as the morning dawned, a person appeared on the street of Luoyang City, although the person was walking slowly, but it still gave people a sense of urgency, he walked a few streets, flashed into a secluded place, flashed in, still did not forget to look around, saw that no one was following, then quietly shouted: "Is there anyone?" ”
As soon as the man shouted, a person immediately jumped out of a pile of straw: "Steward Shang, I'm here!" ”
The person who came was Shang Que, and the person lying in the straw pile was Xia Jie.
Shang Que saw Xia Jie and immediately ran to ask, "Don't you know that the wind has been very tight recently, how dare you write to me and ask me to send you money!" ”
Xia Jia pointed to his leg and said, "Now that I am being chased and beaten by creditors, you are the only one who can help me!" ”
"Yes...... But you can't threaten me in a letter! Shang Que said, taking another step forward.
Xia Jie seemed to find the danger, but he still said: "I can't help it, I don't threaten you, are you willing to come?" ”
"But you showed me the danger!" Shang Que said, and suddenly pounced, although he was older than Xia Jie, he believed that he could still beat this man with a broken leg, not to mention that he also prepared a dagger.
But at this time, two people suddenly rushed out of the straw pile behind Xia Jie, and after one of them rushed out, he easily grabbed Shang Que's arm, and with just one push, Shang Que was pushed to the ground, and the dagger in Shang Que's hand was already snatched away.
After Shang Que saw the two people who rushed out, he was startled at first, and then immediately understood that he had been fooled.
He pointed at Xia Jie, who was still lying on the ground, and said angrily, "You...... You betrayed me! ”
Xia Jie seemed to be very angry at this time, and he also responded: "You still want to kill me!" ”
The two didn't continue to scold, because they knew that it would be useless to scold them, Su Wuming gave Tang Xiong a look, and after Tang Xiong understood, he grabbed Shang Que and tied him up.
The sky was overcast, and the sky over the entire Luoyang City was pressed by black clouds.
The living room of Wen Mansion was full of people, Nangong Yin, Nangong Yan and Tong Yu Qingmei and other people related to the murder, of course, among these people, Su Wuming and Wen Wan'er were indispensable.
At this time, Wen Wan'er's face was very bad, and when she saw Tang Xiong tying up Shang Que and coming to the Wen Mansion, her face began to deteriorate, and she couldn't believe that it was true.
Su Wuming glanced at everyone present, and then spoke: "A few days ago, Wen Chen was poisoned, and I always thought that the murderer was someone who could get close to him, because only in this way could Wen Chen take the poison unknowingly, and eat the food brought by Qingmei as if nothing happened, so I set my target on Qingmei, Shang Que and Tong Yu." ”
After listening to Su Wuming's words, the three of them were very nervous, and their faces were worse than Wen Wan'er's.
At this time, Su Wuming continued: "First of all, I suspect Qingmei, because Qingmei is Wen Chen's maid, she wants to poison, she has the most opportunity and time, but the only thing missing is motivation, and then Qiao'er told us that she once saw Wen Chen pressing Qingmei under her......" Su Wuming said this, and glanced at Tong Yu, but Tong Yu's expression did not change, which made Su Wuming admire him a little.
"Wen Chen broke Qingmei's body, which may be very difficult for a girl to accept, but when we asked Qingmei about it, she said that she was very happy, because Wen Chen promised her that as long as she could give birth to a son for Wen Chen, Wen Chen would let her straighten it out, so she was the one who hoped that Wen Chen would get better soon."
Su Wuming said this, and smiled lightly: "Whether what Qingmei said is true or not, let's leave it alone, now let's talk about Shang Que, the time when Wen Chen was poisoned should be after two o'clock in the afternoon, three o'clock ago, and during this time, he has an alibi, it stands to reason that he can be ruled out immediately, but even so, I still investigated Shang Que, and learned that Shang Que has been getting a chronic poison from Xia Jie." ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but Su Wuming only smiled lightly and continued: "From Wan'er's mouth, I found that Shang Que had a very good relationship with his sister Rong Rong, and he had not even been married for many years, so you can imagine how sad Shang Que should have been when Rong Rong died. ”
As soon as Su Wuming finished speaking, Nangong Yan asked with some puzzlement: "But what does this have to do with Uncle Wen being killed?" ”
Su Wuming shrugged: "Of course it matters, that day in the court, Zhu Jin said that he and Wen Chen were both pursuing Shang Rongrong, and later after Shang Rongrong married Wen Chen, he still often went to the Wen Mansion to peek at Shang Rongrong, if Wen Chen found out about this, what would he do to Shang Rongrong?" ”
As soon as Su Wuming's words were finished, Wen Wan'er suddenly shouted hoarsely: "Impossible, impossible, my father will not be ...... because of this and it killed my mother. ”
Su Wuming hugged Wen Wan'er into his arms and said: "Your mother may not have been killed by your father, but your uncle thinks so, so after your mother died, Shang Que has been looking for a chance to take revenge, three years ago in the winter your father fell, Shang Que saw that the opportunity came, he found Xia Jie, got a poison from him, made your father bedridden, and thought of finding an opportunity to kill him." ”
"This ......" Wen Wan'er still couldn't believe that this was true, but Shang Que didn't raise any objections, and neither did Xia Jie.
Wen Wan'er's words were not finished, but Nangong Yan asked for her: "So, the murderer is out of business?" ”
Su Wuming glanced at Nangong Yan, at this time, she no longer had the unhappiness of that day, I don't know if it was because she was forgetful and didn't want to remember those unhappy things, or if she was forbearing.
"Shang Que is indeed the murderer, but in addition to him, there are two other people who may not be able to escape the involvement."
Hearing Su Wuming say this, everyone couldn't help but set their eyes on Qingmei and Tong Yu, and at this time, Qingmei hurriedly said: "I don't want my master to die, and Shopkeeper Tong has no time to commit crimes and kill, why does Su Gongzi still suspect us?" ”
Su Wuming shrugged: "Originally, I didn't doubt it, but yesterday I found something that made me have to doubt the two of you, but the two of you met yesterday?" ”
Qingmei and Tong Yu were startled and shook their heads again and again, but before they could speak, Su Wuming immediately said: "Yesterday I followed Tong Yu and saw him go to an alley, he came out of the alley in disheveled clothes, and soon after, Qingmei, you walked out of it, what did the two of you do inside, I don't need to say it!" ”
Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect Tong Yu to have an affair with Qingmei.
At this time, Qingmei's cheeks were slightly red, but she still refused to admit it, she looked at Su Wuming: "Even if the two of us really have something, it doesn't prove that I have a motive to kill the master, I want to give birth to a son for the master." ”
Su Wuming shook his head: "Speaking of which, let's talk about the point I raised first, is what you said to them before true?" ”
"Of course it's true!"
Su Wuming smiled: "I'm afraid it's not like that, Wan'er once told me that Wen Chen has always felt like being watched, and he has been being watched all day, at that time, I thought, is it that Wen Chen noticed that something is wrong with him, and then there is, what will it be like to make Wen Chen feel that he is being watched all day, although Qingmei is waiting for Wen Chen, she will not always be by his side, so there must be other people who are always paying attention to Wen Chen, these people are Shang Que and Tong Yu, when I think about this, I think about the motives of the three of you who may kill people, now that Shang Que has said it, let's talk about you and Tong Yu! ”
Tong Yu and Qingmei looked nervous, they looked at Su Wuming, and there was something very strange in their eyes.
"When Tong Yu was still a buddy, he often followed Wen Chen to the house, so he must have the opportunity to contact Qingmei, Qingmei grew well, Tong Yu is another talent, the two have been in contact for a long time, it is inevitable that they will have feelings for each other, but at this time, Wen Chen, who has nowhere to vent Qingyu because he is widowed, wants Qingmei's body, which will inevitably make Qingmei and Tong Yu hate Wen Chen very much, but they have no choice for a while, and finally have to bend to meet each other, and Qingmei uses her relationship to seek benefits for Tong Yu, I think when Wen Chen was bedridden and was about to find someone to manage the store on his behalf, Qingmei must have said something on the side, so Tong Yu could be in charge of the store at that time, right? ”
Tong Yu and Qingmei looked at Su Wuming with wide eyes, as if they couldn't eat Su Wuming.
At this time, Su Wuming smiled lightly: "The three of them all have plans, and the person they hate is Wen Chen, so the three of them naturally conspired and took turns to take care of Wen Chen, so that he could not have a trace of freedom, and when the three of them found that Wen Chen gradually became aware, they came up with a way to harm others; Among these three people, the one with the most chance to be poisoned is, of course, Qingmei, so when Qingmei was poisoned, Tong Yu and Shang Que found someone to be with them to create an alibi, and when Qingmei was suspected, Qingmei told her about Wen Chen's loss to prove that she had no motive, so it was Wen Chen who was murdered by these three people! ”
After Su Wuming's words were finished, the entire living room was extremely silent, and at this time, a thunderclap suddenly sounded outside, and then a light rain came, and the spring rain was like silk, but no one was in the mood to appreciate it.
