Chapter 126: The Old Man Who Raised Horses
Murong Xiaotian arrived at the car dealership, and as soon as he entered the compound, he saw dozens of good horses in the stable on one side, and in addition, there were more than a dozen carriages in the yard.
In the front yard, there is nothing else to see except these, and in the backyard you can hear the bustling voices of people, at this time I think the sun is setting in the west, it is estimated that the guys of the car dealership are eating in the backyard.
"Hey,"
Murong Xiaotian was about to walk towards the backyard, when he heard a slight sigh from the stable, and couldn't help but walk over, only to see an old man in his fifties and sixties standing in the stable, stroking a horse, while shaking his head with a long sigh, he couldn't help but ask casually: "Uncle, why do you lament for immortality?" ”
The old man raised his head and glanced at Murong Xiaotian when he heard the voice: "Young man, you want to hire a car to the backyard, don't come to disturb my old man's house, I'm annoying!" ”
Murong Xiaotian smiled softly when he heard this, not only did he not leave, but instead got into the stable: "Hehe, uncle, you can see that you have a lot of feelings for these horses!" Are you all raising these horses alone? ”
The old man saw Murong Xiaotian enter the stable, and gave him a blank look, but he didn't speak, looking like that, he didn't mean to drive Murong Xiaotian away!
"Uncle, what are you sighing for, is it because the horse was not raised well, and the boss scolded it, so they are so depressed! Hehe, "Murong Xiaotian didn't know what to say, so he couldn't just ask Niu Er's situation or the car dealership, it was too obvious to do that, so he could only talk nonsense."
"Hmph," the old man listened to Murong Xiaotian's words, and snorted coldly in disbelief: "I have raised horses all my life, and I have never seen a horse that cannot be tamed, I dare not blow anything else, but there is no horse raised by an old man who is not obedient and disobedient." ”
Murong Xiaotian's heart moved, and he took the opportunity to lead the topic to Niu Er: "Hehe, uncle, don't blow it, two days ago, Niu Er carried the concubine of the boss of the rice store not far from your car dealership, and this horse was shocked, who doesn't know about this matter now in the unjust death city?" ”
"I'm all blind," the old man spat indignantly.
"What? Still not convinced! Murong Xiaotian laughed, stretched out his hand and patted the old man's shoulder: "Old man! The axle suddenly breaks, and it's normal for the horse to be frightened! Don't think about it, it's just an accident. ”
"You kid knows a fart, the horses of the car dealer can be so easily frightened," the old man was excited by Murong Xiaotian's words, and even his voice was much higher: "The car dealer is different from other industries, its first requirement is the stability and safety of the carriage, therefore, in the choice of horses, they all choose horses with a more docile temper, and the old man I raise these horses, but also to tame, let these horses be completely obedient as the first requirement, you must know that horses are very humane, a completely tamed horse, not to mention a broken axle, Even if the whole carriage overturns, the horse will not be frightened. ”
"Oh, oh Rong Xiaotian's heart suddenly came alive, it seems that this trip to the car shop is not in vain, and it may be quite rewarding:"Hehe, uncle, there must be evidence to speak, now everyone knows that Niu Er was frightened by the horse that day and was involved in a lawsuit, who believes just listen to your words!" ”
"Hmph, do you think I can't get the evidence?" The old man was not convinced: "The carriage is operated normally, the horse's footprints are clearly arranged in an orderly manner, and the pace is not too even, but the frightened horse, the horse will definitely run with all its might, the footprints must be messy, the uneven pace is larger, and there is another point, if the axle on one side is broken, then the whole carriage will inevitably be slightly tilted, then it will be heavy on one side, light on the other, the wheel print left by the carriage should be deep on one side, and shallow on the other, I have seen the forest, the wheel print on both sides of the depth is one to, the horse's footprints are clearly arranged in an orderly manner, and the pace is evenI can be sure that the axle of the carriage was not broken at all, and the horse was not frightened at all. ”
"Hehe, uncle, you are simply the reincarnation of Bao Longtu, amazing, Niu," Murong Xiaotian smiled and stretched out his thumb to the old man, things went more smoothly than he imagined, he didn't expect that there would be progress so quickly, and now it is certain that this Niu Er is all nonsense, so, Niu Er didn't send the concubine of the boss of the rice store back to the countryside, but went into the forest early in the morning What was he doing? Anyway, follow the line of Niu Er, it's absolutely right.
"Uncle, no wonder you sighed here, it turned out that you were wronged, it must be the steward in the car shop who trained the old man, blame the old man for not training him!" Murong Xiaotian figured out these things, and patted the old man's shoulder comfortingly!
"Hey, young man, don't you know, my old man has been in the car dealership all his life, and the horses I raised have never made a mistake, and this time I was wronged, I am really angry!"
"Hehe, uncle, I take the liberty of asking, have you ever told anyone else besides me?"
"No, I originally wanted to tell the new owner, but the new owner just died of his father-in-law, and he was not in a good mood, I didn't dare to disturb him, I wanted to wait until he calmed down."
Murong Xiaotian pondered for a while, hehe laughed, and his voice suddenly became low and cold: "Uncle, don't blame me for being troublesome, it's best for you not to tell anyone about this, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth, some things are not as simple as you think." ”
The old man listened to Murong Xiaotian's words, and couldn't help but shiver, looking terrified, Murong Xiaotian saw that his words had an effect, so he left the car dealership, this old man is a powerful witness, he doesn't want this old man to be killed because of his mouth.
As for other things in the car dealership, the basic Wu Gang should be clear, as long as he asks Wu Gang, staying in this car dealership is easy to arouse the suspicion of others, but the gains outweigh the losses.
Murong Xiaotian returned to the home of the Broken Knife Ke, Wu Gang was already waiting there one step ahead of him, and when he saw Murong Xiaotian coming back, he immediately ordered the wine and food to be served, not to mention, Murong Xiaotian was really hungry, so he was no longer polite, and he ate wildly!
After eating a full meal, Murong Xiaotian spoke: "Brother Wu, how are things?" ”
"I've already arranged the manpower, keep an eye on Niu Er twenty-four hours a day, and every two hours, someone will come back to report Niu Er's situation!"
"Well, very good," Murong Xiaotian nodded, and asked as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Brother Wu, at the time of the crime, Niu Er said that he was repairing the axle there, and the concubine Hu Shi, the owner of the rice shop, was there?" ”
"Yes," Wu Gang nodded: "According to Hu, she has been sitting in the carriage waiting for Niu Er to repair the axle and has not stepped out of the carriage, so she has not seen what is happening outside." ”
"Oh, that's it," Murong Xiaotian asked puzzledly, "The place where the accident happened is only a mile away from the car dealership, this Hu family can go back to the car shop to change the carriage and leave, why is she waiting there?" You know, the axle can't be repaired at once, and it's much faster to go back to the car shop to change the car than to wait there. Didn't the lord of the city ask this question during the trial? ”
"Asked," Wu Gang nodded: "Hu Shi said, because every time she goes back to her parents' house, she hires Niu Er to drive a car for him, and she is used to taking his car, so she is more at ease, so she would rather wait there than go back to the car shop to change the car." ”
"Well, the answer is reasonable, but it's a pity!" Murong Xiaotian nodded, and suddenly sneered, now that he had a bottom in his heart, he finally understood why this Niu Er drove the carriage into the forest. This incident reminded him of Ah Si, the boatsmith in Huluwan Fisherman's Village, the lady of the Wu family, who went to Ah Si's dock at two ends in three days to deliver the wonton noodles map?
What is the reason for the concubine of the rice shop owner, isn't it already very clear? No need to ask, this Niu Er drove the carriage into the forest, he must have done that kind of thing with the Hu family, this Hu family, and Niu Er definitely have a personal relationship.
Murong Xiaotian thought of this, but at the same time, another question came up, judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that this Niu Er will kill people, it is impossible for him to choose to kill people when he has a private meeting with the Hu family, of course, it is not ruled out that he had a private meeting with the Hu family, and he happened to be bumped into by Boss Lin, so he moved to kill.
But the question also arises here, if it was really Niu Er who killed Boss Lin, would he still jump out to testify? Murong Xiaotian's answer to Niu Er was no. The reason is very simple, if he does this, he will accidentally expose his affair with the Hu family, which is definitely not what Niu Er wants, if he really killed Boss Lin, he will definitely not stand up, but the farther away from this matter, the better.
Therefore, Murong Xiaotian analyzed that Niu Erken risked his life to come out to commit perjury for only one reason, that is, he was coerced by others, and was coerced by a person who broke his adultery with the Hu family and was closely related to murder!
So since there is someone else who killed Boss Lin, who could it be? This question bothered Murong Xiaotian again, although he could completely overturn Niu Er's confession, he still couldn't clear the suspicion of murder of the knife breaker, and the biggest suspect was still his knife breaker.
Overthrowing Niu Er can only make this case take a new turn and new suspicions, but if the real murderer can't be found, he still doesn't want to get out of prison, if it takes a long time and the real murderer can't be found, the knife breaker will still be used as a scapegoat for this case.
However, with the card of Niu Er, Murong Xiaotian's heart has collapsed a lot, and in two days, Duan Daoke will be beheaded, even if he can't find the real culprit for a while, he is absolutely sure that this case will be retried.
"Brother Wu, there are still some things that you need to do," after thinking about the whole thing, Murong Xiaotian explained to Wu Gang again......
