turned to the page of Xiang Fugui and Xiang Fucai, and said: "Your painters really paint very similarly." It's just that this rich man and Xiang Fucai are painted like a person, how do you tell the difference? ”

Ximen Yingchun said with a smile: "Please see, although this wealth and Xiang Fucai look similar, they also have differences." That Xiang Fugui is not only magnificent, but even the clothes he wears are very magnificent. Especially the two big gold earrings he wears, which are priceless! Not to mention the gold ring on his hand, which is shining gold and very atmospheric. ”

Ximen Yingchun pointed to the second portrait and said, "Look, there is a mark on this person's ears, and he is Xiang Fugui."

Song Ruilong once again confirmed that the deceased was indeed wearing gold earrings and gold rings before he died.

Song Ruilong said: "Can you take us to Xiang Fugui and Xiang Fucai's room?"

"Yes!" Ximen Yingchun led the way in front and said: "That Xiang Fugui didn't live in the room, after he and Xiang Fucai walked into this house, Xiang Fugui stopped for a while, and then went out with a big wooden box."

Ximen Yingchun opened the door of the room and said: "Send someone to come in, this Yingchun Pavilion is the most luxurious room in our Yingchun Inn, the two brothers have chartered this place, the money is not much, only one hundred taels of silver a night."

Song Ruilong was a little surprised: "Are you saying that Xiang Fucai and Xiang Fugui have booked a room?"

Ximen Yingchun nodded and said: "Exactly, at first, I also doubted whether these two people were really rich. Because rich people don't live in one room for two people, but later, I figured out that Xiang Fugui didn't want to live here at all. He quickly left with a large suitcase. That big box weighed at least 300 pounds. ”

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong searched carefully in Xiang Fucai's room, and Song Ruilong said while searching: "Is that Xiang Fucai at the inn all night?"

Ximen Yingchun said: "What's the matter?" You don't doubt that Xiang Fugui's own brother would kill his own brother, right? ”

Song Ruilong said: "Before we solve the case, anyone is the object of our suspicion. Xiang Fucai is no exception. ”

Ximen Yingchun said: "This is also what I said. However, Xiang Fucai did not leave his room for a night. His room was always lit up. That Xiang Fucai and one of his friends chatted and drank until the fifth watch. This one. The shopkeeper can testify. ”

After Su Xianrong went downstairs and asked the shopkeeper, he went up to Song Ruilong and said, "Shopkeeper did hear that Xiang Fucai didn't leave his room all night. Because Xiang Fucai's voice was very loud and the other guests couldn't sleep, and they wanted to beat him, it was the shopkeeper who persuaded him, and nothing happened later. ”

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong searched the room where Xiang Fucai lived for a long time and did not find any reliable evidence, so they returned to the county office.

After returning to the county office. Liu Tianxiong and Wei Bixiao happily greeted them, blocking Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong's way in the county office, Wei Bixiao said with a smile: "Brother Song, good news, we caught a person in the Tianyun Gambling House." ”

Su Xianrong said: "Oh, who is it? ”

Song Ruilong looked at the county office and said, "Let's go in and talk." ”

After Song Ruilong walked into the county office and sat down, he looked at Liu Tianxiong and said, "Master Liu." Let's talk about the specifics. ”

Liu Tianxiong said: "The situation is like this. When Bi Xiao and I went to check the big wooden box, there was no good place to check it for a while, but we felt that the casino was the best place to sell the stolen goods, and if some people did steal the silver, they might gamble there. At first, Bi Xiao and I didn't have much hope, but after walking into the casino. We saw a man of short stature, thin and dressed in very ordinary clothes. He was gambling with a pair of gold earrings. We thought the situation was suspicious, so we went up and confiscated his gold earrings, and took him aside, and when we interrogated him, the guy said that his name was Liu Tang and that he had no legitimate occupation. Idle all day long, specializing in stealing other people's things. We asked him where those gold earrings came from, and guess what he said? ”

Liu Tianxiong wanted to laugh excitedly.

Su Xianrong said: "Don't sell Guanzi, hurry up and say, you said one step earlier." We can catch the killer sooner. ”

Liu Tianxiong said: "Liu Tang said that he stole the gold earrings from a wealthy businessman. Last night, when Liu Tang was strolling on the street, he saw two big men who looked exactly the same, carrying a big wooden box into the Yingchun Pavilion Inn, from the box carried by the strong man, the contents must be very precious, so Liu Tang wanted to pay attention to the big wooden box, and he was afraid that he would be discovered, so he was very cautious. He lingered at the door of the Yingchun Inn for a long time, thinking of many ways, and finally was vetoed by Liu Tang, just when Liu Tang wanted to give up the idea of stealing, another strange thing happened. ”

Liu Tianxiong paused, and he stopped talking again.

Su Xianrong said: "It seems that Master Liu doesn't know much about this case, and the things he talks about are intermittent, so let's talk about Sister Bi Xiao." ”

Wei Bixiao took over and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the next wonderful story." This Liu Tang said that at that time, he saw the big man wearing gold earrings and gold rings coming out of the Yingchun Inn, and then he went to Chunfeng Tower. In Chunfeng Building, he booked a room called Yixiang Pavilion, and also chartered a beautiful girl. The willow pond was hidden under the bed of the Yixiang Pavilion at that time, and the big box happened to be under the bed. However, Liu Tang couldn't open the big wooden box, and he didn't know what it contained. Liu Tang was staring at the box, but according to Liu Tang, that time was his worst one. ”

Song Ruilong couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?" ”

Wei Bixiao continued: "Liu Tang said that he fell asleep next to that big wooden box. When he woke up, he found that the big wooden box was gone, but the one on the bed with the gold earrings, the gold ring, and the woman were still sleeping peacefully. Liu Tang took advantage of the big man's inattention, took off the pair of gold earrings and gold rings from the big man's body, and then jumped out of the window and escaped. ”

Su Xianrong heard a suspicious point and said, "The gold earrings and gold rings are worn on the body of the deceased, how can they be taken off so easily?" Isn't Liu Tang afraid that the big man will wake up? ”

Wei Bixiao said: "Of course we asked about this. Liu Tang said that at first, he just wanted to take off the gold ring, but when Liu Tang took off the gold ring, he found that the big man's hands were cold, and his intuition told him that the big man was dead, so Liu Tang dared to take off the pair of gold earrings.
