Chapter Ninety-Four: Finding the Truth
The matter of poisoned tea has not yet been investigated, Shen Yu rested for one night, and prepared to go to the tea shop as usual the next morning.
She was about to get into the carriage when a child suddenly ran up to her and stuffed a ball of paper into her arms.
Shen Yu only thought that the child was running too quickly, and she didn't pay attention to catch it, and the paper ball fell to the ground.
The work of driving the car was quick, and he quickly picked up the paper ball and handed it to Shen Yu.
got into the car, Shen Yu unfolded the paper ball, and wrote a sentence on it: The real murderer is in Hulu Lane.
"Where's Hulu Lane?" Shen Yu lifted the curtain and asked, the place where she lived was centered on the Sheng family, and there were high-ranking families everywhere, and she had never heard of such an alley.
The one who drove Shen Yu was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, his name was Laifu, and he was very clever. Shen Yu had long paid attention to this pretending to be a mature big boy and had a good impression of him.
Laifu thought for a while, hesitated and said: "Hulu Lane is in the west of the city, and you still have to walk some distance, but all the people living there are poor, does the young grandmother really want to go?" ”
The poor lived in a mixed area, and in the old society, it was not safe for women to show their heads.
It was easy to get a little clue, Shen Yu was unwilling to give up, and said, "It's okay, isn't it with you to accompany me?" What can happen in the blue sky? ”
Laifu touched his head honestly, this was the first time that the owner trusted him so much. Shen Yu's words made the big boy blush.
Hulu Lane is a very narrow alley, and the carriage can't get in, so the two have to park the car at the door and walk in.
The person on the note only said that the real murderer was in Hulu Lane, but there were more than a dozen families in it, and it really took a lot of effort to find it.
At the mouth of the alley, Shen Yu took off the jewelry on her body and took off her cloak, and then she beckoned to Laifu.
"Come here, I have a task for you."
Laifu came over, and after listening to Shen Yu, he nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task." ”
He also followed Shen Yu's example, took off his hat, crumpled his clothes again, and then walked into the alley.
The morning sun was good, and at the door of a family, I thought that an old woman with silver hair was sitting on a wooden chair basking in the sun.
"Granny, would you like to ask you something?" Rifles stood at the door and talked.
The old woman squinted lazily, she didn't show any reluctance to answer, and Laifu continued: "Mother-in-law, I came from the countryside to join my cousin. My uncle wrote home the other day that he had made a small fortune in the city and asked me to follow him. The family was poor and couldn't eat, so when my mother heard that he had a way, she made me out of a suit overnight and asked me to come to Hulu Lane to join my relatives. ”
"But my uncle said that he came to Hulu Lane, he didn't say where his family lives, which family is my uncle?"
Laifu said a long list in one breath, and his tone was eager and sincere, like a stunned boy who had just arrived.
The old woman thought for a moment, pointed to a courtyard at the end of the alley, and continued to squint in the sun.
Laifu took the lead, and after a while, Shen Yu followed.
"Grandma, how do you know that the old woman knows where he lives?" Rifle asked, scratching his scalp.
Shen Yu said: "This person poisoned Wang Damao's tea, and he must have received a sum of money." What would you do if you lived in such a humble place and suddenly had money? ”
"When you have money, of course, you eat and drink...... Buying things ......" Lyph said halfway through and suddenly realized.
When a person gets a windfall, it is difficult to keep his wealth exposed, and the neighbors who live in the same alley will definitely see something.
In this kind of small environment, whoever has a chicken and buys a new dress knows it, let alone eat and drink nonsense?
When I arrived at the place, the courtyard gate was ajar, and when I looked through the low fence gate, I could see a few wine jars thrown in the courtyard.
"This is it." Shen Yu became more and more sure.
Laifu had already pushed the door in, and said strangely: "What's the matter with this person, why is the door open and the door open?" ”
Shen Yuxin couldn't say it well, she pushed open the door, but saw that the house was in chaos.
The only pieces of furniture, the tables, the wooden chairs, were staggered, the porcelain bowl was broken, and there was a trace of blood in the broken porcelain pieces.
The blood on the ground hadn't dried yet, which meant that someone was ahead of them.
It was only one step away from catching the murderer, but it was still so late.
Laifu was a little deflated, and Shen Yu searched carefully in the room, and suddenly, a golden thing came into her eyes, it was a gold watch.
"It's him again." Shen Yu picked up the things, this gold watch is worth a lot of money, and the owner of the house definitely can't afford it.
Shen Yu clearly remembered that Ma Fugui, the shopkeeper of the Victorious Tea Shop, had such a gold watch hanging on his body.
Ma Fugui knew that he had exposed his feet, and he panicked and wanted to deal with the aftermath, but he lost such an important item in a hurry.
When he came back, Laifu inquired by the way, the owner of this house is called Chen San, who usually works hard at the dock and is a friend of Wang Damao.
In that case, it makes sense.
Ma Fugui knew that Wang Damao was a frequent visitor to the Sheng family's tea shop, and after he bought the tea, Ma Fugui bought Chen San and let him put a mouse medicine in the tea.
Wang Damao was not poisoned by tea, but by Chen San.
Shen Yu put away the gold watch she had picked up, and was saddened by Ma Fugui's viciousness. For his own selfish interests, he even disregarded human life.
"Let's go, go to the Victory Tea Shop, I must find out today and give an explanation to the deceased." Shen Yu's eyes were calm.
Laifu wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't dare to disobey Shen Yu's order, hesitated, and obediently drove to the victory tea shop.
Ma Fugui was reading the account book behind the counter, and when he saw Shen Yu entering the door, he smiled and said, "Grandma, what advice do you have for this time?" Didn't the ledger have all been sent to you? ”
Shen Yu slapped the gold watch on the table, "Shopkeeper Ma, do you know this watch?" ”
Ma Fugui carried the gold chain and took a closer look, the smile on his face froze slightly, "Hey, why is this watch here at the young grandmother?" ”
Shen Yu sneered, "This is what I picked up at Chen San's house, and Chen San is the murderer who poisoned the tea leaves and killed Wang Damao, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" ”
"This ......" Ma Fugui still smiled, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
At this time, a guy upstairs took a box and came down, and said, "Shopkeeper, I took your watch for maintenance, and put it on your desk in the morning, I'm afraid you didn't see it." ”
Ma Fugui patted his head, "Look at my memory, I don't even remember my watch, I bought it from Shanghai with a lot of money." ”
Ma Fugui said and opened the wooden box and took out an identical gold watch.
