Yuan Hong was very dissatisfied with Chen Cheng's answer and asked him how he determined that Pei Zhao died violently.

Chen Cheng replied that Pei Zhao's face was flushed after death, there were two red stalks on his neck, and his body was convulsive, like a sudden illness like epilepsy.

Hearing this, Yuan Hong asked the family members and maids of Pei's Mansion in person whether Pei Zhao had a precedent of a sheep epilepsy attack before his death.

They replied that they had never seen him have a seizure.

Closing his eyes slightly, Yuan Hong pondered: Could it be that Pei Zhao only recently contracted this strange disease? And his death was purely a secret room death? However, the sheep had a seizure of epilepsy, and at most there were red spots on his neck, why did the red stalk appear? Could it be that there was another hidden reason for his death?

Opening his eyes, Yuan Hong turned to Pei's subordinates and asked, "Have any of you paid attention to Pei Sizai's whereabouts on the day of his death, especially who he came into contact with?"

Suddenly, a maid with thick arms and a dark face raised her hand and said, "In the afternoon of the same day, the case inspector Liu Chan came to find my master and entered the master's bedroom. At that time, I was scrubbing my clothes that had been backlogged for many days by the well in the courtyard, and the master called me to pour tea for the two of them. ”

After a pause, the maid continued: "At that time, I still remember that Liu Chan lost his temper with the master, complained that the master was prejudiced against him, and said that his talent was no worse than Chen Sicheng, and he even crushed Chen Sicheng in terms of qualifications. Later, I went back to the yard and continued to do the laundry, so I didn't know what they were talking about. In less than half an hour, Liu Chan left Pei's mansion angrily. ”

At this moment, the fat Liu Chan was already sweating profusely, and his eyes were full of anger. He was about to speak, but Yuan Hong stretched out his hand and pressed him down.

"And then?"

Later, the old man said that he wanted to go out for a walk, and when it was almost dark, he returned home. When he got home, he went straight into his bedroom and never stepped out of the room again. ”

"Oh, you're so sure?"

"As I said earlier, I had a backlog of clothes to wash for days, and I never left the yard from the afternoon until dinner. Since the old man usually likes to beckon me to do work, I have always maintained the habit of squatting in the direction of the hall. I'm pretty sure that no one has walked in since he got back into the house, and he hasn't walked out. ”

"Did you tell Chen Cheng and the others these words before?"

"I don't dare say it without you, my lord, I am afraid that the murderer will be shielded or released due to insufficient evidence, so that he will most likely come back to take revenge on me. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Hong suddenly fell silent.

Seeing the end of the Q&A, Chen Cheng suddenly pointed at Liu Chan and said, "Liu Chan, did you kill Pei Sizai because you were dissatisfied?"

Liu Chan said with a sad expression: "I didn't kill Boss Pei! Yes, I am indeed selfish, and I am indeed dissatisfied with him, and I did lose his temper when I came to Pei's Mansion, and I also admit that I am indeed a bastard sometimes, but this does not mean that I don't know the big right and wrong." Boss Pei is a good person and a good official, I admire him from the bottom of my heart, how can I harm him!"

Chen Cheng's tone became tougher: "Pei Sizai's body has always been very strong, and he has never been sick, and when the result of the sudden death was detected, I have always been very unsure." Now that you look at it, you must have killed him by some kind of trick. Come on, take Liu Chan to the prison of the case prosecutor, and wait for the fate!"

As Chen Cheng waved his hand, the two case inspectors grabbed Liu Chan's arm one left and one right, and took him out of Pei's mansion.

And Liu Chan kept shouting that he was wronged until his voice disappeared completely.

After saying goodbye to Yuan Hong, Chen Cheng also walked out of Pei's mansion.

Pei's Mansion fell silent again, and by this time the sunset had already hung on the mountaintops.

Walking into Pei Zhao's bedroom, Yuan Hong took a closer look. He found that there was a window on the front and back sides of the room, but it had been nailed with thick wooden strips. The space between the wooden bars is not large, and can only accommodate one fist to pass through.

Stopping his steps, he suddenly found that the room was surprisingly quiet, not even a single cricket cricket. Lowering his head, the brown-red wooden floors seemed to emit a faint fragrance, hitting his nostrils. It can be seen that these wooden floors were newly replaced not long ago.

Suddenly, an inconspicuous pit mark on the floor caught his eye. On closer inspection, he saw that the pit mark was in the shape of a semi-circular arc.

Checking the wooden door again, he found that the lock was broken.

Other than that, he didn't find anything else special, including the cabinets and tables being normal.

Frowning, Yuan Hong walked out of Pei Zhao's bedroom. He called Liang Yun'er, saying that his head hurt and he wanted to go to Tianda Plaza with her to blow the wind.

Liang Yun'er smiled and said, it's better to wait until dinner is over.

After all, his stomach was rumbling, so he agreed.

So, the two greeted the housekeeper Lao Mei, saying that a friend invited them to be guests and come back tomorrow.

Lao Mei won't let them go anyway, she has to leave them for dinner. Because he couldn't resist him, Yuan Hong finally stayed.

Before dinner was ready, he wandered to a few houses and found that the room was not as quiet as Pei Zhao's bedroom.

It didn't take long for the cook to finish dinner. Lao Mei invited Yuan Hong and Liang Yun'er to the seat one after another.

At the dinner table, Lao Mei couldn't stop crying when she mentioned Pei Zhao's kindness to him. Yuan Hong asked him curiously how long he had been with Pei Zhao.

Lao Mei replied, it has been five years, and when she first followed Pei Zhao, Pei Zhao was just a Si Cheng.

Seeing that Lao Mei spoke fluently and never coughed and wheezed again from beginning to end, Yuan Hong suddenly felt very curious. After all, when he first came to Pei's Mansion, Lao Mei poured him tea, and at that time he kept coughing and wheezing.

So, Yuan Hong expressed the doubts in his heart.

After hearing this, Lao Mei said very calmly: "Hey, that little problem is nothing, I studied medicine when I was young, and I can be cured with a little soil." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Hong was relieved for a while, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have studied medicine, this Yong'an City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Then I wish our Mei Yixian to always maintain a healthy body and preferably live a long life. ”

Hearing Yuan Hong say this, Lao Mei finally smiled and praised Yuan Hong as the most clever and perfect young man in his eyes.

......

After dinner, Yuan and Liang came to Tianda Plaza.

Blowing a faint cold wind and looking up at the newly rising full moon, Yuan Hong's heart was very uncomfortable. When the moon is full, it originally symbolized reunion, but it turned out to be a permanent parting period between him and his old people.

"Senior brother, did you say that Uncle Pei died violently or was murdered by others?" Liang Yun'er suddenly lowered her head, and her mood was also very heavy.

"I can't say for sure right now, but I'm more inclined to believe that he was murdered. Yuan Hong sighed lightly, and after the cold wind blew, he suddenly felt much refreshed.

"It seems that you are also suspecting that Liu Chan is the murderer?" Liang Yun'er glanced up at him with a longing gaze.

Yuan Hong set his eyes on the lights in the distance, and did not rush to answer her.
