Ma Xueliang secretly looked at the person standing behind the table, legend has it that the official has heavy pupils, can break yin and yang, has seven stars under his feet, can gossip, has wings on his back, can soar into the sky, has a tail behind him, and is proud of the dragons.

Most of the legends are fake.

This is just a white and chubby ordinary young man, if compared to things, a bit like a cicada baby in spring, if compared to people, it is the stupid son of the landlord's family.

Ma Xueliang didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

"Your son and daughter-in-law, how did you disappear back then?" Jiang Yanzhi asked.

Ma Xueliang had already sued the official once, although many years have passed, but word by word, as if engraved in his mind, will never be forgotten.

"It was also summer, and it was very hot. Our Tencel brocade feels cold, and summer is the most profitable time. At noon that day, the daughter-in-law saw that it was hot, so she brought a chilled osmanthus sour plum soup and went to the shop to relieve him of the heat. ”

"When my son ran out, he told the shopkeeper in the shop that he would send my daughter-in-law back first, have lunch, and then come back. Because my house was near the bunk, they did not ride in a carriage, but on foot. After this time, he never came back. ”

"Bianjing is a city that never sleeps, and our shop only closes at night. When I got home, I found that the two of them were gone. Early in the morning of the second day, a young man named Hanako came to the door and delivered a letter. Tell us to prepare the money. ”

Jiang Yanzhi frowned, "You sold your property, just enough to make up that amount?" Who knows the key to the warehouse, the location? The warehouse is unguarded on weekdays? ”

Ma Xueliang was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Even my lady's dowry has been emptied, and the shop has been sold at a discount, which is just enough." ”

"We Tencel Workshop, Tencel brocade is an ancestral secret, we have set up a dyeing workshop in the capital, as well as a brocade workshop. On weekdays, I am personally in charge of it, and in the city, there is a special warehouse, which only puts Tiansi brocade. In addition, the other silks were purchased from the south by my Adima Xuekun. ”

"I have a farm there that serves as a storehouse. It just so happened that Ah Di married the Cai daughter in that town, so he lived there, and by the way, he asked the Cai family to help guard it. ”

And he put the cloth he had gathered in the storehouse. Then, according to the needs of the shop, Zhang Ting, the shopkeeper, will lead my son to order cloth. The key to the storeroom, three people have. One is me, the other is my Adima Xuekun, and the third is my son. ”

"But the official, where do the gangsters need any keys when they enter the door?" Ma Xueliang hesitated, but still asked what was in his heart.

Didn't the young general of the Wuguo Mansion kick the door open with one kick?

Jiang Yanzhi shook his head, "Most of the kidnapping cases are committed by acquaintances. This is especially true in the case of your son. First of all, the gangsters know your family background very well, so they can report a ransom that you can just make up. ”

"Secondly, your daughter-in-law is the only daughter in the family, right?"

Ma Xueliang was taken aback, "How did the official family know." ”

There are really few people who have only one daughter in the family these days.

"What you said outside the palace before, Lu Bing relayed it to me. You pooled this money, not only from your own family, but also from your in-laws. There are not many people who are willing to empty their family foundations for their married daughters. ”

"The gangsters obviously not only know the situation in your family, but even know how much money you can take out in your daughter-in-law's house, you think about it carefully, you may think of such a person."

This third point is the biggest flaw. That's why the gangsters tied them up in your warehouse. The warehouse was guarded, and there was cloth in it. As you said yourself, the business in your shop was very good at that time, and since the business was good, the chance of opening a warehouse was far greater than on weekdays. ”

"Why didn't he just find a wilderness, find a ruined temple, and go to the warehouse? Also, since you have already paid the money, why does he have to kill? If it was to extinguish the mouth, why not just kill the person, but chose to burn the warehouse, which is so easy to expose. ”

"There are people in Zhuangzi, if there is a fire, someone will find out at the first time, then the difficulty of the gangster's escape will be greatly increased, why should he draw a snake to burn the warehouse?"

Jiang Yanzhi said, looking at Ma Xueliang sympathetically.

"The murderer wants to take advantage of the chaos to escape?" Gao Yinfang asked curiously.

"Two big living people, the murderer can transport them in without knowing it, will they not be able to escape? He got the money and killed people, which shows that he didn't intend to let people come back alive in the first place. Absolutely, just throw the corpse in. Why bother, the first time you send them in and tie them up, and the second time you sneak in to kill people and set them on fire? ”

"In a case, the killer often hides his true intentions. And the murderer in this case must have a reason to burn down that warehouse. ”

Jiang Yanzhi said, looking at Ma Xueliang, who was shocked, "You should have thought of that person, right?" It's someone you know who knows how much money you have and where your warehouse is. It is very likely that he will be able to come and go freely on the farm, and there are his secrets in the warehouse......"

Ma Xueliang's legs and feet were weak and he sat on the ground.

He moved his mouth with difficulty, as if he had phlegm stuck in his throat, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "It's him, it's him, it's my own brother, Ma Xuekun." ”

"It's him, it must be him. At that time, business was good, and the goods in the shop were going quickly, so I gave him a large sum of money and asked him to go to the south to transport the goods. Just a few days before my son disappeared, I asked someone to bring a letter saying that I would go to the warehouse to pull new fabrics back in the next few days. But Ma Xuekun said that he didn't count it well, so let me go a few days late......"

"If my son doesn't see me, then we'll go to the warehouse. Warehouse ......"

"The warehouse burned down, I was disheartened, and I took my wife back to my hometown in Lingnan, and the farm was left to my brother...... My brother is much younger than me, and I treat him like a parent, except for Tiansi Jin, which is an ancestral recipe, and the son does not pass on the younger brother, in other aspects, he is no different from my son......"

"I have only one daughter in my family, and during the Chinese New Year, the two families have been together, and they have been drinking for three rounds, and they have said everything...... He knows it clearly. But why? He clearly knows that I only have one son, and the white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and when the son dies, I will be alone for the rest of my life. ”

"I treat him well, he ...... Why! ”

Jiang Yanzhi sighed and pointed to the door, "Why, you can ask him yourself." When I learned about this, I sent someone to bring your brother, as well as Zhang Ting, the shopkeeper of your shop, and the people who bought your shop. But all the stakeholders came. ”
