Chapter Twenty-Three: The Murderer?
"You have no evidence, why should you arrest people!" The proprietress stared wide-eyed and put her hands on her somewhat rounded waist.
"The deceased was hit the head, I guess it was done with the porcelain vase that was originally placed here?"
Xie Lingxu looked coldly at the motionless boss standing on the side.
Hostess: "Little girl, I told you that this vase was accidentally broken, just a broken bottle, how can you fabricate that we kill people out of thin air!" According to your own guessing ability, you can kill people all over the world! ”
"It's not a random guess, I can say it's because I have evidence, and besides, I didn't say that this case is related to you, the boss, right?"
Xie Lingxu turned his eyes to look at the boss with a pale face.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What can we know about Lao Li? ”
"Boss, you went to the wine room to transport wine the day before yesterday, and the route will pass through the forest where Xie Shuo's body was found, right? You took his body out and threw it there? ”
The proprietress said: "Little girl, you will be punished by God if you talk about it!" ”
Xie Lingxu: "Boss, wearing such ill-fitting clothes and such big cuffs at work, won't it get in the way?" ”
Boss: "You can also take care of this dress, what kind of story do you want to make up!" ”
"Roll up your sleeves and show your wife!"
The boss stood still with his left hand on his right hand, and said "just ...... It's just a little wound. ”
Xie Lingxu: "Your right hand moves unnaturally, and your right shoulder is obviously lower when you walk, but I don't think it's like an injury, but like a ...... On your hands, what kind of heavy object is strapped, right? ”
Hearing this, the boss's face changed suddenly, Xiao Qixin directly opened the sleeve of his right hand, and saw that his arm was wrapped in several layers of thick white cloth, which was savagely torn open by Xiao Qixin, and the pure gold thick chain tied on his arm was immediately revealed in front of everyone.
What this thing is used for, everyone knows.
"Pure gold, it's heavy, isn't it? Boss, how can you, a wine seller, have this? ”
Proprietress said: "Lao Li, this ...... What's going on? ”
The boss couldn't hide his panic at the moment: "I ......, I picked it up, I picked it up in the alley." ”
"Do you want to say that this was discarded by the murderer after committing the crime, and you just picked it up, and you were greedy for money for a while, so you picked it up, and you were afraid that this was the murder weapon to cause trouble for you, so you didn't dare to take it out?"
"Right...... Yes, exactly. ”
Xie Lingxu knew that he would answer like this
"Then, you just picked up the pawnshop owner's gold chain and Xie Shuo's jade pendant, your luck is amazing!"
The proprietress said: "Don't talk nonsense, where does Lao Li have that drunkard's jade pendant!" ”
"If you guessed correctly, Xie Shuo's jade pendant is now lying quietly at the bottom of a jar of wine in the wine cellar, otherwise, let's smash the wine in the wine cellar and check it, see if I guess right?"
"You ......"
The boss pulled up her sleeves to reconcile Lingxu's hand, and said in a trembling voice
"Yes...... It's me, it's me who killed Xie Shuo, I'm ...... I. ”
Xiao Qixin grabbed him: "What about the owner of the gold pawnshop?" ”
"No...... No, I was just impulsive, and accidentally killed Xie Shuo, I really don't know about Boss Tong. ”
Xiao Qixin: "Missed? You accidentally threw people in the deep mountains and old forests, and the corpse was bitten like that? Let's go! So how do you have this gold chain? ”
"This ...... This is what I took from Xie Shuo, it is from him. ”
"Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense...... I really, I ...... I didn't lie to you. ”
"Why did you kill Xie Shuo?"
The boss hung his head, "This...... Isn't that understandable? Xie Shuo's ...... This bastard, he can obviously pay back, he promised me to go to the gold pawnshop to make his jade pendant, and then pay off the debt. But the day before yesterday, he came to drink again, he didn't exchange money as a jade pendant, he still wanted to buy wine on credit, what did he say...... He has to leave Changzhen Street for the time being, and he will pay back the money in a few days, he has said this a thousand times, I ...... Can I believe it? I guess he's going to slip away, and the money won't come back. A few days ago, my father-in-law sent a letter saying that he was sick, and my wife was finally pregnant, and it costs money inside and outside here, do I have to endure this anger? I forced Xie Shuo to repay his debts, and he still had to do it with me, I saw a gold chain hidden in his arms, and I knew that I knew that Xie Shuo was rich, and he didn't pay off his debts if he had money, is he still a human being! I...... On the spur of the moment, I ...... I picked up the porcelain vase on the side and smashed it on his head, I just wanted him to know that I was not a bully, I was not! ”
Xiao Qixin said: "So, are you pleading guilty?" ”
The boss bowed his head and was silent, the proprietress was so anxious that she shed tears, and she pulled his sleeve and lost her voice, "No, it's not like this, how can we kill people like Lao Li, you dead Lao Li, you talk quickly!" Why do you want to admit that you didn't do it, you don't want this family anymore, you ......"
Xiao Qixin saw that the proprietress was desperately beating the man next to her with her hand, and hurriedly pulled her away
The boss suddenly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Ah Xia, I can't help you, you are still pregnant, don't hurt yourself." ”
The woman's face couldn't hold back tears, "Lao Li, you talk to them well, how can you ...... How can you kill someone, don't be stupid......"
"Ah Xia, at the bedside of our house, I used half my life savings to buy a gold jewelry and put it there, and I originally planned to give it to you on the way tomorrow...... There's no chance now, so you sell that thing...... I can change the money to feed you and the children, and then find a good person-"
"Bah, believe it or not, I'm going to beat this kid right now, I'm telling you, if you go with them, I'm going to beat this kid right now......"
Xiao Qixin interrupted the two of them who were in tears with a word: "Okay, come with me to the Nine Governors' Gate, and talk about your family affairs later!" ”
Xiao Qixin picked up the man on the ground and walked out, Xie Lingxu coughed uncomfortably and followed, but was suddenly stopped by the proprietress on the way, seeing that her tears and rouge gouache covered half of her face, the corners of Xie Lingxu's mouth twitched
"Girl...... Girl, our Lao Li won't kill anyone, he won't kill people, you can check it again...... I beg you, you can check it again, where does he have the courage to kill, he doesn't dare...... Someone must have framed him, and this must have been done by someone else! Girl, let him go...... You put-"
The proprietress didn't catch it in one breath, and fainted, Xie Lingxu hurriedly helped her, and heard the boss who was being arrested by the Nine Governors Gate on the side howl hoarsely:
"Ah Xia, Ah Xia, don't touch my Ah Xia, she is still pregnant......"
Xie Lingxu instantly felt upset, boasting that he couldn't stand this kind of scene, and said with a frown:
"Someone to hold her up." Then he walked out of the liquor store.
Xie Lingxu stood in the corner and thought to himself, waiting for the chaos on the side to finally stop, the personnel should be taken away, the medical hall should be sent to the hospital, and the lively idle people were almost withdrawn, before silently walking outside the main gate, and the six gods stared at the old Li wine shop in front of him.
The emperor who slipped over on the side raised his hand and just wanted to put it on her shoulder, but seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he withdrew his hand and lightly tapped Xie Lingxu with his index finger
"Ling, you're pretty good!"
Xie Ling looked back at the emperor, and just wanted to speak, but he turned his head lightly and didn't know what to say.
I don't know when a group of people will come up, Chu Xiu asked Xie Lingxu with an expression of what the hell I have been through
"Lingxu, what's going on? I think I'm still a little confused, no, very confused! ”
Xie Lingxu habitually holds his arms:
"Ah...... As far as I think, things should be like this, first of all, Boss Tong and Cheng Qi of the Longsha Gang have a business, and there was a sudden incident during the transaction, Cheng Qi injured Boss Tong, but he didn't want to put people to death, he just took the things of the transaction and left, but the specific business he did still needs to be verified. I continued...... Boss Tong was seriously injured and dying, Xie Shuo, who was going to be a jade pendant, came to the pawnshop at this time, Xie Shuo entered the store and saw that the boss was dead, but when he saw the gold chain on his body, he suddenly planned to take it for himself, but the boss did not lose his breath, maybe Boss Tong suddenly woke up and saw Xie Shuo, he was panicked for a while and wanted to simply break the can and fall, so he strangled Boss Tong with a chain. ”
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows: "Boss Tong is so rich, why should he tie such an ugly thing as a gold chain?" Like a peg dog! ”
"We don't understand, it's not money that rich people show off their wealth, it's vulgar."
Xie Lingxu took a breath and continued: "Xie Shuo may be planning to go to a distant place to sell the chain for money, and before leaving, he went to Li Lao's wine shop to get some wine, and told Boss Li that he was going out. ”
Chu Xiu muttered, "Hey...... This Boss Li is really pitiful, and his family was finally ruined by so many crimes. ”
Xie Lingxu didn't look up: "When Xie Shuo had no money, why didn't he have murderous intent?" It's not that you can't move your hand when you see others are better off than yourself, some people are always kind to people who are not as good as themselves, but once you see that others are going to soar, all your crooked thoughts come out, in the final analysis, it's not for money. ”
Xie Lingxu thought that if Boss Li didn't have so much ambition, didn't take the gold chain, and his acting skills were so clumsy, he wouldn't have become suspicious so quickly.
Chu Xiu knew that he was still too tender, so he smiled at Xie Lingxu: "Hey...... In any case, the case has finally been solved. The murderer was also arrested. ”
Xie Lingxu frowned: "Broken?" When did I say the case was solved? Don't you think that the case has become more complicated by this time? ”
Chu Xiu felt that he was about to be unable to keep up with Xie Lingxu's brain circuit, so he silently retreated, and asked Xiao Qixin to continue to discuss the case with her
Xiao Qixin: "You also think it's wrong? ”
"I was going to let them go just now, but I felt that there were many places that I couldn't figure out, and I couldn't arrest people casually, but I couldn't watch people slip under my noses, and I had to do this first in a hurry."
Xiao Qixin: "What do you think, what's wrong?" ”
