Chapter XXIV

[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that the eldest sister of the Immortal Dao was angry and killed the disciple who stole the hijab of the underworld marriage that had lost his demonic energy and resentment. And Zhao Liang, who wanted to arrest Gong Xiaoyun, agreed with Mu Qingming that within an hour, Mu Qingming would come up with evidence that Gong Xiaoyun was not the murderer. led out Mu Qingming to visit the door, and narrated the cause and effect of the case to Jiang Lao Er alone. With luck, the dragon locker expects the murderer to take the initiative to confess. People are more evil than demons, and Jiang Lao Er is clever and refuses to admit his guilt. 】

After the sting, the insects that had been dormant for a quarter woke up and began their revelry after each nightfall.

The small courtyard of the Jiang family, where the police guard the gate, is no exception. The melodious chirping of insects came from the darkness of the small courtyard.

Mu Qingming stood in front of the Jiang family's small courtyard with mixed feelings, and raised his eyes to look at the house-style gate in front of him. The brand-new door panel and the stone drums on both sides of the door made Mu Qing suddenly not know how to open his mouth after entering the door.

Although there are not many clues, he can be sure that the one who has been shrinking in the dark and asked Gong Xiaoyun to wear a dark marriage hijab is Jiang Laoer; The motive for this is the property of the Gong family.

Although Jiang Lao Er always showed his honest and hardworking appearance in the past, Mu Qingming didn't believe that he would be such a vicious person. But judging from all the clues that Mu Qingming has in his hands, there is no doubt that the murderer behind this scene is Jiang Laoer.

"Young Master Mu, what are you doing?" When Mu Qing was stunned in front of the door, the policeman guarding the door had already asked.

"Your Inspector asked me to find out the truth." Mu Qingming came to his senses and replied lightly.

He was a special adviser to the Provincial Police Department, and these policemen had already been familiar with him, and he didn't suspect it when he heard that it was Zhao Liang, so he turned sideways and got out of the way.

Mu Qing calmed down, stepped forward with the hem of his robe, and walked slowly towards the small courtyard.

After the sudden change, the Jiang family was immersed in death-like silence, without the excitement of the past. The surviving family members huddled in their respective rooms, either in tears or in silence and grief. In the courtyard, the body of the Jiang family's sister-in-law has been moved back to the hall by Liu Yang, but the fishy style is still there. In the shadows around him, there was still the smell of death.

Mu Qingming walked slowly to the edge of the hall and walked down the wooden staircase towards the second floor of the West House. There was a creaking sound as his feet stepped on the wooden staircase.

In the wedding room, where the festivities were not gone, but with grief, Jiang Lao Er sat alone on the edge of the bed, stunned. It wasn't until Mu Qingming gently pushed open the door that he came to his senses.

"Young Master Mu?" He raised his head and looked at Mu Qingming, who was speechless, with slightly reddened eyes. Mu Qingming picked up a round stool from the house, walked to him and put the stool on the ground, sat down opposite him, and asked calmly, "Do you know what I'm here for?" ”。

Jiang Lao Er was slightly stunned and shook his head dumbly.

"Okay, Zhao Liang asked me to find evidence to convict your wife* Xiaoyun, but I want to tell you a story." Mu Qingming lifted the hem, crossed his legs, and said unhurriedly: "There was once a child, the family conditions were not good, and he worked in the salt merchant's warehouse on the Zhangtang Wharf at the age of ten. Because of his hard-working and honest personality, he was favored by the palace master in the salt merchant. When this young man was fifteen years old, he was transferred to the counter by the palace master to hold the title (in the past, in large or medium-sized shops, the guy who was in charge of weighing goods. )。 ”。

"Young Master Mu wants to tell my story?" Taking advantage of Mu Qingming's pause, his face changed color slightly, Jiang Lao Er laughed twice, and soon his complexion returned to the same as before, he looked directly into Mu Qingming's eyes, and asked leisurely.

"Don't worry, listen to this story patiently." Mu Qingming smiled lightly, and then said: "When this young master was in charge, I not only saw the young lady of the Gong family, but also saw the wealth of the Gong family. With his natural intelligence, this teenager calculated the average daily income of the Gong family from the daily flow of customers who bought salt. However, the psychology of hating the rich also made him distorted. He always wondered why he had to work tirelessly to get paid. And the people of the palace family only need to point fingers every day, and they can make money every day. ”。

"But the young man didn't know that the Gong family also started as a small businessman, and it took decades of hard work to have today's glory and occupy a place among the salt merchants in Spring City." Mu Qingming's tone was flat, and he slowly became a little erratic: "However, this young man has the heart to deceive the palace family's property under the psychology of hating the rich. Under his honest and honest appearance, there is no innocence at all. Externally, he is still honest, but in private, his desire for the palace family's property is getting stronger and stronger, but he has no chance, so he has not done it. ”。

It didn't take long for this young man to fall in love with Miss Gong Jia. Because of his honesty and honesty, because of his hardships and hard work. Mu Qing suddenly smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a creation to make people; Who would have thought that under the honest appearance, what is hidden is no longer a good heart. So the young man started his own plan, wanting to marry the young lady of the palace family eventually, so as to seek the property of the palace family. But there are two obstacles to this plan; One is that even if you take Miss Gong Family, after a hundred years of the Palace Master, the property will be given to Miss Gong Family or her grandson, and there will not be much in the hands of the young man. The second is that the old man Gong is in good health, and it is impossible for him to die in the short term, or even ten or twenty years. If you want to rely on a marriage to get rich, it seems that it has become a bit far away. ”。

Jiang Lao Er, who frowned slightly, had a flash of surprise in his eyes; He was even more surprised in his heart, and muttered secretly, "How did these Young Master Mu know this?" ”。

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but roll on Mu Qingming's calm face.

Mu Qingming's sharp eyes naturally noticed his move, but he still didn't say by name that this young man was Jiang Laoer: "When this young master was distressed by this, he went to the tavern to drink to relieve his boredom after work, and accidentally met a goddess who also likes to drink and drink inside. Just over three months ago, the goddess who drank too much inadvertently blew a veil to the gods who drank at the same table. And the description is detailed, including where the hijab is, and what harm will be done after getting rid of the suppression of the ancient mirror. Unfortunately, this secret was heard by the young man, and he immediately made a decision and thought of setting up a game with a hijab. ”。

The goddess confided in the hijab after drinking that she said to Miaotian when she took her disciples down the mountain and sent him a note earlier.

It was precisely because of this seemingly unrelated matter that Mu Qing meditated through all the previous doubts; For example, if Jiang Lao Er planned all this behind the scenes, where did he know that there was a secret of the underworld marriage hijab in Spring City?

So before going to Xishan, he asked Miaotian and Miaobi to quickly find the god stick who often drank with the goddess and ask for clarification; These magic sticks are not difficult to find, and they are all concentrated in a wine shop on the three-yuan shop where the salt merchant is entrenched.

Miao Bi and Miao Tian only used two jars of old cellar wine brought by the caravan from the banks of the Lancang River to let them tell the truth. They assured Miaotian and Miaobi that they didn't take the boasting of the goddess when she was drunk at all, and they didn't leak it. At the same time, I vaguely remember that in the restaurant that day, in addition to a few of their drinking friends, there was also a young man sitting in the corner drinking alone. Judging from the appearance description, it is very similar to Jiang Laoer.

As a result, all the doubts can be explained clearly.

"It's you, you bought the shopkeeper of the millennium wedding dress shop, let him find the coffin shop outside the big east gate, spent all his savings, and some palace old men bought the dark wedding hijab suppressed in the store in order to commend you for your hard work and give you the reward." Mu Qingming was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, a little helplessness appeared in the eyes of Jiang Lao Er's eyes, and he said by name: "Then use the old man of the palace to take advantage of the beginning of spring to go to the field comprador salt, and hand over the wedding dress and dowry to you to handle, so that the underworld wedding hijab will become Gong Xiaoyun's newlywed hijab." Then the underworld marriage hijab really made Gong Xiaoyun fall into the devil, and then killed people in the city; Your purpose has been accomplished. ”。

"Young Master Mu is telling me a story." Jiang Lao Er, whose expression gradually froze, pouted and sneered when Mu Qingming's voice landed, and said a little impatiently: "Even if I know where the hijab is?" What are the hazards? But why should I use it to harm my wife? The property of the Gong family will be ours sooner or later, doesn't it mean that I can't get anything if I harm her? ”。

"But you are married; So as long as Gong Xiaoyun goes to prison or is sentenced to be shot, then the property of the Gong family is yours, and it can also give a big blow to the palace master; has been working for the Gong family for a long time, you naturally know that Gong Xiaoyun is the heart of the palace master, as long as she has three long and two short, the palace master is afraid that he will not even have the heart to live. Mu Qingming also pursed his lips and sneered, his gaze was so sharp that he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and shot straight towards Jiang Laoer's subconsciously dodging eyes: "This is the truth, the fact that there is no blood in killing." ”。

"Even if you tell the truth, I love my wife so much, why should I hurt her?" Jiang Lao Er asked with a sneer.

"Come on, Jiang Er, do you know how to write the word "deep love?" Hearing this, for some reason, Mu Qingming, who was inexplicably angry in his heart, scolded and scolded angrily: "From the time I entered the door to the present, you know that Zhao Liang is determined to arrest Gong Xiaoyun, have you ever sinned against her?" You wish Zhao Liang would arrest her quickly, right? It's best to shoot her right away, maybe you'll be happier. ”。

"You are wronged, Inspector Zhao said, it was my wife who killed the murderer; As a law-abiding citizen, why should I exonerate the murderer? Jiang Lao Er, who was also anxious, got up, looked down at Mu Qingming and scolded in a deep voice: "If you can't believe me, you can ask the guys and shopkeepers of the millennium wedding dress shop, have I been in the same league with them?" ”。

"Law-abiding and good citizens?" Mu Qingming, who was not frightened, snorted coldly, and said in a contemptuous tone: "You are not a law-abiding citizen, and we can't ask the people of the Millennium Wedding Shop, because they were all brutally killed, and even the children did not escape. ”。

"Oh, really?" Jiang Laoer, who pretended to be stupid, pretended to be slightly stunned, a trace of smugness flashed in the corners of his eyes, and after the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, he sighed slightly: "That's really a pity." ”。

"Fortunately, in the courtyard behind the shop, we found a boning knife buried in the soil, and I asked Miaotian to sneak into your house quietly and found that there was just one boning knife missing." Mu Qingming grabbed the other party's left hand and said coldly: "All the dead in the wedding shop, the wounds on their necks, or the wounds on their chests and backs are all caused by boning sharp knives. As for the motive, it is naturally because Gong Xiaoyun was possessed by the monster in the underworld marriage hijab, after the killing, you are afraid that Zhao Liang or the old man of the palace will find out about the wedding dress shop, and you are also worried that there is a ventilous wall in this world, and Zhao Liang will find out that you are in the same league with them, and you bought the underworld marriage hijab. ”。

Will Jiang Lao Er plead guilty? How will Mu Qingming convince him? If you want to know what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
