Chapter 43: Doubts
Regarding Luo Ying's reminder, Ye Heng said: "Brother Luo, you are right, but don't forget it, it is not only his Gongsun Yang who is dead in the case now. Even if Gongsun Yang will leave any news or clues, we don't need to worry, don't forget it, we also have a lot of clues in our hands that Gongsun Hou doesn't know! ”
"Clues?"
Just walking away from the yamen, Gongsun Hou frowned, and then walked over and said, "Ye Heng, since you and I are here to solve the case, then everyone should share the clues in their hands, don't you say?" That's fair! ”
Ye Heng sneered in his heart, but he still smiled at Gongsun Hou and asked, "Gongsun Master wants to share clues?" Aren't you afraid that I will solve the case first? ”
"If the husband makes a bet, he will lose if he loses, what are you afraid of?"
At this time, Gongsun Hou became a big husband.
Ye Heng said: "I'm afraid that Lord Gongsun has taken a fancy to the clues in my hand, but since the master of Gongsun has said everything about this, then I promise you!" Well, for the sake of fairness, we can exchange leads, how about that? ”
"Good!" Gongsun Hou looked at Ye Heng and said, "You say it first!" ”
"Then Gongsun Master Book, listen up!" Ye Heng smiled, and then whispered a word in his ear.
"Are you sure?"
Gongsun Hou frowned and asked, "Could it be that you have seen the murderer?" ”
Ye Heng replied: "If you have seen the murderer in the next place, then don't you directly notify the two adults to arrest them?" ”
"So, you deduced it?"
Gongsun Hou asked, and saw Ye Heng nodding, so he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay, the eldest husband is above board, I will believe you once!" But if your inference is wrong in the future......"
"That's losing!"
Ye Heng said, and Gongsun Hou's eyes lit up.
If he was Ye Heng's words, at this time, the goal was achieved, and Gongsun Hou said with a smile: "Okay, now it's time for me to sue you......"
Gongsun Hou also said a few words in Ye Heng's ear, and after Ye Heng heard it, he beckoned Luo Ying and said, "Brother Luo, let's go!" ”
"Where to go?"
"It's ...... when you come"
Ye Heng took Luo Ying back to the yamen, and on the way, Luo Ying asked Ye Heng, "Hold it, what did you say to that Gongsun Hou?" ”
"I said that the murderer should be a tall and well-proportioned man, and then Gongsun Hou told me, it turns out that Li Yucheng and Gongsun Yang have a very close relationship, and even Gongsun Hou, the clan uncle, knows the family background of Gongsun Yang's friend! That Li Yucheng's family is in a small town thirty miles outside the western suburbs of Jiangning City, and the family has a manor, but his father has passed away, and only his elderly mother is in the hall, and there is a concubine! Speaking of this, Ye Heng paused, and then continued: "If the person who drowned is really Li Yucheng, then ...... The person who went to Miaoyulou with Gongsun Yang that night must have been the fake Li Yucheng, so to speak...... The murderer's appearance must be similar to that of this Li Yu......"
"So, now I want to ask the two adults to take us to examine Li Yucheng's body?"
"Yes, I hope to find something!"
When they arrived at the backyard of the Yamen, it happened that Yan Shu and Zhang Shixun walked out together, and the two adults were also a little surprised when they saw Ye Heng go and return, Ye Heng simply explained to them, and then followed them to the place where the body of the deceased was stored.
Because the case has not yet been closed, the two deceased are still parked in the dark and damp secret room in Yizhuang, before opening the secret room, the officials also used dog blood cinnabar to help Ye Heng and a few people exorcise evil spirits, and placed a brazier at the door for them to step over.
Next to the morgue, the officials kept burning paper money, and Ye Heng came to the fat and swollen corpse to check it intently.
After checking for a while, Ye Heng shook his head and said, "I can't find anything at all, the deceased has been soaked in water for too long......"
As he spoke, he turned the deceased's arm open with his gloved hand and looked at it, and when Ye Heng saw the deceased's palm, he frowned.
Next to them, they asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Ye Heng said: "Something is wrong, according to what Gongsun Hou said, then Li Yucheng should be a young master with a good family background, but these hands are ...... Although the deceased's palms were swollen after being soaked in water for a long time, they ...... Those thick cocoons are still hard......"
How could a scholar with a good family have such calluses in the palm of his hand?
Ye Heng was surprised, but other than that, there were no other clues on the corpse, so Ye Heng had to leave Yizhuang with Yan Shu and them.
Yan Shu and Zhang Shixun encouraged Ye Heng a few words, told Ye Heng not to worry, and instructed Ye Heng to inform them as soon as he had something, and then got into the carriage and went to the mansion.
Ye Heng and Luo Ying walked over to Wuyi Lane, preparing to go to the courtyard that Liu Yong said for dinner.
As soon as she entered the door, Su Qing'er greeted her with a little girl.
The girl's name is Zhu'er, she is Su Qing'er's personal maid, she is only eleven years old this year, Su Qing'er forgave her after leaving Miaoyulou, and after seeing Ye Heng, the little girl was blessed, looked at Ye Heng and said: "Ye Gongzi, please help Miss......"
"Zhu'er, it's none of your business here, you step down first......"
Su Qing'er said a word to Zhu'er, and Zhu'er left aggrievedly, and then Su Qing'er looked at Ye Heng and said, "Young Master Ye, Boss Lu has ...... invitation."
"Boss Lu?" Ye Heng looked at Su Qing'er and asked, "What happened to that little girl just now?" ”
Su Qing'er shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's just ...... Just like me, I just want to get my mother out sooner! ”
The ** son of a brothel, even a little girl is like this, it can be seen that Qiu Hong should be quite good at treating people, otherwise how could he be so popular?
Ye Heng asked, "Where is Boss Lu?" ”
"Childe, please come with me......" Su Qing'er took Ye Heng to the backyard, but it was in her own boudoir.
"Huh...... Ye Gongzi is here! ”
Lu Qiao stood up, and in front of him, there were two pots of tea on the table, which showed that he had waited for a long time and had finished drinking a pot of tea! After welcoming Ye Heng in, Lu Qiao stretched out his hand to him and said, "Ye Gongzi, please take a seat!" ”
Ye Heng sat down and asked, "Boss Lu is looking for me, I don't know what is going on?" ”
Lu Qiao smiled, and then he took out a piece of cardboard from his arms and put it on the table.
On the hard paper, the four big characters 'Baoyuan Qianzhuang' were written in a dignified manner, Ye Heng frowned when he saw it, and then asked, "What does Boss Lu mean by this?" ”
Even Ye Heng, who had just come to Jiangning, knew that this should be the treasure banknote from the 'Baoyuan Money Village', and such a large piece of hard paper, and it was taken out by Lu Qiao, so the amount of this treasure banknote should not be low!
