Chapter 44: Guiding the Maze
"The last possibility is to get the letter somewhere else and send it somewhere else, passing through Guangde County." After a pause, he pondered again, "This kind of possibility is very small, because of such an important letter, she would not normally stop halfway. ”
Ma Du recalled the three possibilities that Yang Qiuchi said, but he still didn't know what to do, and his eyes darkened: "Three possibilities, how do we know which one it is?" As if grasping something of nothingness, but unable to penetrate this layer of fog, Ma Du looked at Yang Qiuchi, hoping that he could help him clear this layer of fog.
"There's a way to know!" Yang Qiuchi smiled.
"Ahh Brother, say it quickly! What's the solution? Ma Du saw the light again, this case is too important, he is not willing to be the general flag for the rest of his life, he knows that there may only be this one opportunity in this life, he must seize it.
Yang Qiuchi didn't sell it either, and said in a low voice: "Find someone to ask, and you'll know right away." ”
"Alone? Who? ”
"Don't worry, sir, you come with me, I'll take you to that person now."
"Good!"
Ma Du followed behind Yang Qiuchi and walked towards the cell. At this moment, his heart must have beaten more than two hundred beats per second, and he felt like a gambler who had bet all his possessions and began to prepare to shake the dice.
Yang Qiuchi took Ma Du and walked to Hu San's cell. The little black dog, of course, also followed Yang Qiuchi in a.
On the way, Yang Qiuchi advised: "Master Ma, wait a while, don't open your mouth, hide to the side and listen, don't let that person see you, if he knows that you are Jinyiwei's identity and is worried about implicating others, maybe he won't say it, then it's troublesome." ”
"He dared not to say it! Lao Tzu has the means to deal with him! Ma Du was shy, and said viciously, and then remembered that Widow Xie refused to admit death, and was a little discouraged, there are really such ruthless people in this world, no matter how powerful the torture is, they can't pry open their mouths. Ma Du then whispered again, "Okay, I'll listen to you, brother." ”
Yang Qiuchi and Ma Du came to Hu San's prison and asked the janitor in charge of guarding to go out first, and then Ma Du hid in a corner that Hu San couldn't see, Yang Qiuchi came to the edge of the fence and shouted: "Hu San! ”
Hu San was caught in the cage, heard the shout, turned his head, saw that it was Yang Qiuchi, struggled for a while, and said eagerly: "My lord, you are here!" ”
Yang Qiuchi knew that now Hu San had given all his hopes to himself, and asked, "Hu San, do you want to find out the facts of your case?" ”
"Yes! My lord! Thank you, Lord Qingtian! You must help me make the decision! ”
Yang Qiuchi scolded in his heart: You fucking old pervert, if you hadn't forcibly annihilated Bai Xiaomei, how could she have died? Although it seems that it is likely that you did not kill it, you can't run away from it? Although it is not necessary to be beheaded, at least cut off your little **! Well, but is there any palace punishment in this Ming Dynasty? Yang Qiuchi didn't know very well.
"If you want to find out, I have a few questions for you, and you have to answer them honestly. Did you hear me clearly? ”
Hu San nodded effortlessly, and the chain around his neck rattled.
"Have you secretly gone to find Widow Xie during this time?"
Hu San hesitated for a moment, he couldn't understand Yang Qiuchi's purpose in asking this question, but since it was related to his own case, he still had to say truthfully: "Yes, I have to go to her almost every day." ”
"Do you have the key to her house?"
"Yes, she gave me a handful after we got along."
"Where's the key?"
"When they were in prison, they searched their bodies."
That should be in the hands of Da Banya, Yang Qiuchi thought secretly, and then asked, "Do you know, has Widow Xie been out of the house recently?" ”
Hu San thought for a moment and said affirmatively: "She went out about five or six days ago, and she just came home yesterday. ”
"How do you know?"
Hu San was a little embarrassed: "After getting along with her, I have to find a reason to go out almost every day, and stop by her house to have a tryst with her." Five or six days ago, she said she was going to visit relatives and had only returned home yesterday morning. ”
"How do you know she's home?"
"She had a pot of juju flowers, and when she came home, she would put them on the windowsill, and I passed by her house on the street, and when I saw it, I knew she was back. But yesterday I went to open the door, and he wasn't in the house, so I went back, and then it happened. ”
That is to say, yesterday morning, Widow Xie returned to Guangde County with the letter from somewhere else, and before she could hand it over, she was caught.
"Do you know who Widow Xie's family is coming with?"
Hu San shook his head: "I don't know, because I sneak to have a tryst with her every time, and he doesn't want others to know that we are good, for fear of ruining her reputation." So I've never met a guest who comes to her house. ”
From this point of view, this Hu San didn't know that Widow Xie was Emperor Jianwen's person, and he wouldn't know who Widow Xie was dealing with.
"Okay, I'll ask you so much first." Yang Qiuchi walked out of the cell.
After listening to their conversation, Ma Du was very excited and asked, "Brother, he said that Widow Xie went out five or six days ago, so is it the second possibility?" ”
Yang Qiuchi nodded, smiled, but did not speak.
Ma Du thought about it, but he still couldn't figure out what to do even if it was the second possibility. looked at Yang Qiuchi stupidly, like a lost child looking at the police uncle.
Yang Qiuchi said: "Master Ma, since this Widow Xie brought the letter back, and it was too late to send it out, and the recipient didn't know that Widow Xie was arrested, what would happen?" ”
Ma Du opened the skylight and said excitedly: "I will go to Widow Xie to get the letter!" ”
"yes, and then what are we going to do?" Yang Qiuchi is like an aunt in kindergarten, inspiring a mentally handicapped child.
"Wait for the rabbit and catch him!" Ma Du waved his fist and shouted loudly.
"Shh~!"
"Shh~!" Ma Du reacted immediately, raised his thick and black fingers, leaned on his lips, and learned from Yang Qiuchi to shout.
"Don't be ado, hurry up and wait for the rabbit to go!" Yang Qiuchi smiled. This trick is a common trick used by the spies in "Red Rock", and Jinyiwei is also a spy, why doesn't his head have the aura of the Kuomintang spies.
Ma Du suddenly remembered something: "How could the person receiving the letter not know that Widow Xie was arrested?" ”
"The reason is very simple, we went to arrest Hu San and arrested Widow Xie by the way, so outsiders may not know that Widow Xie was arrested. Besides, if there is such a hope, it would be good to try it! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ma Du nodded hurriedly, except for this hope, there is really no other hope that can be implemented, and now he can only hope that the recipient does not know.
Ma Du listened to Yang Qiuchi's analysis, and felt that this young man was really a spy material, if he helped in this case, the chance of solving the case would be much greater. Thinking of this, he took Yang Qiuchi's hand: "Brother, you help to the end, this case, you have to do my brother a favor anyway." If the case is solved, I will definitely protect you, and our brothers will share the glory and wealth. ”
Yang Qiuchi said with a smile: "Master Ma, you are polite, I have just said that I will do my best." ”
"That's good!" Ma Du held Yang Qiuchi's hand tightly, and the two returned to the interrogation room.
Before I could enter the door, I heard the cry of a woman inside, and the voice was familiar. Yang Qiuchi pushed open the door and saw Song Yun'er kneeling beside his father Song Zhixian crying.
