While the woman was crying, Li Canghai closed his eyes and pondered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A seemingly simple cheating case, but there are many secrets hidden behind it, and even implicated in a murder case, which really surprised him.
From the beginning when Li Canghai took over this case, he felt that this would never be a simple case.
After all, Datang is not as equal as a thousand years later.
Today, it is still a male-dominated society.
As a woman, Ma Rong actually colluded with Song Yu and took away all Wang Bao's family property, from this point, it can be seen that Ma Rong is by no means an ordinary woman.
From the clues he has so far, it can be concluded that Wang Ying's fall from the cliff three years ago has a lot to do with Ma Rong, and Ma Si's death makes him even more sure of this idea.
After half a pillar of incense, the woman came down from the upper floor, but she still sobbed.
"This is Lord Li of Dali Temple, who is here to investigate the matter of Ma Si's body, and asks you questions, you have to answer truthfully, only in this way can you find out the murderer of Ma Si." Zhou Feiyan said kindly to the woman.
The woman nodded, knelt down in front of Li Canghai and said, "The people's woman Ma Wushi has seen the adult. ā
Li Canghai nodded: "Get up and speak." ā
Although he has been in Datang for a long time, he is still very disgusted by kneeling.
"This official asks you, did Ma Si say that he came to the Immortal Mansion today, who did he meet with?" Li Canghai asked.
Ma Wushi shook his head and sobbed, "Back to my lord's words, he only said that he came here to meet an old friend, and did not mention his name. and the women did not know who he saw. ā
"Did he do anything unusual or say something strange before he left?" Li Canghai frowned and asked.
Before leaving, the husband said that after this time, he would be able to live a good life, and asked the woman to buy some wine, saying that when he returned, he would have a good life to celebrate. Don't want to...... I didn't go back, woo~. Ma Wu said with a sad expression.
Li Canghai knew it in his heart, he nodded secretly, and then asked, "How long have you been married to Ma Sicheng?" ā
"Back to my lord, the woman is Ma Si, who married three years ago." Maoushi said.
"Three years ago? Do you know that he lost three hundred taels of silver overnight? Li Canghai touched the bridge of his nose and asked.
Ma Wushi lowered his head, bit his lip and said, "Don't hide it, my lord, the woman married him at that time because of his three hundred taels of silver." With these three hundred taels of silver, there is no need to live such hardships. However, he didn't expect that on the second day of marriage, he took it to the gambling house and lost the three hundred taels of silver overnight. ā
"As far as this official knows, this Ma Si is just an ordinary coachman, how can he have so many silver taels?" Li Canghai asked.
Ma Wushi shook his head and said: "This folk woman doesn't know, but I heard him say that these silver taels were exchanged for his life." As for where it came from, he never mentioned it to the women. ā
Li Canghai lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Think about it carefully, what secrets are hidden by Ma Sike that you don't know?" ā
Ma Wushi thought for a long time, and said hesitantly: "My husband has a box, and he values that box very much, and he never lets me touch it. ā
Li Canghai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the box now?" ā
"On the beams of the houses of the women's houses." Maoushi said.
"Ben Bo Erba, you go to Ma Si's house quickly and get the box!" Li Canghai said in a deep voice.
Ben Bo'er nodded, then turned around and left the restaurant, and hurried towards Ma Si's house.
Zhou Feiyan looked at Li Canghai in surprise, and said puzzledly: "My lord, how do you know that Ma Sihui has a secret box?" ā
Li Canghai said deeply: "If this official is not mistaken, Ma Si is closely related to Wang Ying's fall from the cliff. If this is the case, Ma Si's money is afraid that it is not coming from the right way. We can make an assumption, assuming that the three hundred taels of silver are the money to buy the murder, Ma Si must have the identity of the person who instructed him. And Ma Si is a gambler, as a gambler, for this advantageous condition, he will never use it once and throw it away, and will definitely use it again at the right time. ā
Zhou Feiyan instantly understood, and he said in surprise: "What do you mean by saying that there is very likely to be evidence in that box that the real murderer instructed Ma Si to kill Wang Ying?" And it is precisely because of this threat to the murderer that Ma Si will make an appointment to talk with the commander here, in order to blackmail the commander? ā
Li Canghai's expression was solemn, and he said, "This official has examined Ma Si's body, and there is no evidence on him. There are only two possibilities, one is that the murderer took the evidence after poisoning Ma Si. The second is that Ma Si did not bring the evidence with him. Of the two possibilities, the official prefers the second one. Ma Si is greedy and gambling, and will never give such an opportunity to the other party so easily. And will use this as a lever to blackmail all the time. For now, I only hope that Running Boer can find what Ma Si is hiding before the murderer. ā
Time passed little by little, and soon it was half an hour again.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, Ben Bo'er ran in panting with a small wooden box in his arms.
"My lord, something has been found!"
When Li Canghai heard this, he hurriedly took the small wooden box in his hand.
"Did anything happen?" Li Canghai asked.
"Back to my lord, when I went, I happened to meet a man wearing a hood coming out of Ma Si's house, carrying this box in his hand. I rushed up and snatched the box back, and slapped the man by the way. Running Bo'er wiped his sweat and said.
"Can I escape from you? It seems that that man's martial arts are not bad? Li Canghai frowned.
Ben Bo'er grinned in embarrassment, scratched his head and said, "My lord, according to my observation, that person doesn't know martial arts. He was able to escape from me because he squinted my eyes with lime powder. Otherwise, I'll catch him! ā
Li Canghai patted Ben Boerba's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ā
"What the adults say, I have to do it even if I risk my life. What's the hard work? Rushing Ba smiled innocently.
"My lord, it seems that it is exactly what you suspected. The hooded man not only killed Ma Si, but also destroyed the evidence! Zhou Feiyan said seriously.
Li Canghai nodded, and then opened the small wooden box.
Aside from the deed and a few pieces of silver, there was only a yellowed piece of papyrus, and the paper was blank, not half of the handwriting.
"My lord, what's going on? Could it be that the evidence has already fallen into the hands of the murderer? Zhou Fei asked puzzled.
Li Canghai looked at the blank paper over and over again, also confused.
He shook his head and said, "The lock on the box has not been broken, and the murderer should not have had time to open it." But why is it so blank? Where is the evidence? ā
After pondering for a moment, Li Canghai rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Ma Wushi, Ma Si can read?" (To be continued.) )
