Volume 01 The Mystery of the Case Chapter 051 Planting

Li Zhentang told Zhao Shengyuan that it was impossible to buy this jade pendant with a few hundred yuan in Zhao Shengyuan's hand.

However, he could give this jade pendant to Zhao Shengyuan first, and after Zhao Shengyuan sold the jade pendant, he would give him two thousand five hundred yuan.

At that time, the two thousand five hundred yuan was almost an astronomical amount, and Zhao Shengyuan was so frightened that he didn't dare to accept the jade pendant at all.

It was Li Zhentang who told Zhao Shengyuan that there was an underground antique trading market in Beiyang City, and there was a man named Zhang Yuhe, who often went to the market.

This Zhang Yuhe not only understands the goods, but also has money, as long as Zhao Shengyuan can find this Zhang Yuhe, he can at least sell this jade pendant for 3,000 yuan.

Zhao Shengyuan once asked Li Zhentang why he didn't go to Zhang Yuhe to sell it since he knew that this jade pendant could be sold for three thousand yuan.

Li Zhentang said that he had met Zhang Yuhe once, and he refused to sell it for 3,000 yuan, so he was embarrassed to go back on his word.

Zhao Shengyuan was suspicious, and finally took the jade pendant to Beiyang City.

Li Zhentang walked all the way and waited for Zhao Shengyuan near Zhao Shengyuan's house in Deng County.

According to Li Zhentang's instructions, Zhao Shengyuan put on a set of Taoist clothes lent to him by Li Zhentang, and then walked around the antique market in Beiyang City for two days, and sure enough, he met the Zhang Yuhe that Li Zhentang said.

Although Zhang Yuhe and Li Zhentang have met, a few months have passed, and they don't remember Li Zhentang's appearance very well.

Zhao Shengyuan took the initiative to greet Zhang Yuhe again, and Zhang Yuhe mistakenly thought that Zhao Shengyuan was the little Taoist priest who sold the white jade gourd to him before.

Zhao Shengyuan did not take the initiative to clarify, but made a mistake, on top of the price of 3,000 yuan quoted by Zhang Yuhe and himself, he added an additional 200 yuan, and finally sold the jade pendant of the "reincarnation spirit rune" to Zhang Yuhe at a price of 3,200 yuan.

After that, Zhao Shengyuan returned to Deng County full of joy, returned the Taoist priest's uniform to Li Zhentang, and gave Li Zhentang 2,500 yuan according to the agreement, and he earned 700 yuan himself.

The two of them ate together to celebrate, Zhao Shengyuan was very drunk, and when he woke up, he found that the old watch on his wrist was missing.

The old watch was a second-hand item that Zhao Shengyuan bought for twenty yuan in the past, and although it was very distressing to lose it, Zhao Shengyuan had just made a windfall, but he didn't take it to heart, let alone suspect that Li Zhentang stole the old watch.

In fact, the watch was stolen by Li Zhentang.

Li Zhentang already had some problems with petty theft, plus he gave Zhao Shengyuan a few hundred yuan in vain, looking at Zhao Shengyuan's elated appearance, Li Zhentang's heart was very unbalanced, so he temporarily stole the watch.

After Zhao Shengyuan happily returned home, he first gave Liang Yinglan's family, who had been in love for a few months, a bride price of 200 yuan, and the rest of the money was used to buy a few pieces of furniture, and the thatched roof was renovated into a large tiled house.

And just two months later, Zhao Shengyuan married Liang Yinglan into the family.

In order to express his gratitude to Li Zhentang, Zhao Shengyuan also went to Lingxian County and sent an invitation to Li Zhentang.

Zhao Shengyuan was still staying in the Lingxian Hotel that day, and Xiao Cherry learned from Zhao Shengyuan that he was about to marry, so he secretly ran out and cried all afternoon.

But at night, the endless lovesickness made Xiao Cherry knock on Zhao Shengyuan's door at night.

At that time, it was a terrible thing for men and women to be known about being unmarried and having sex together, and the day of Zhao Shengyuan's marriage was set, so it was impossible to suddenly withdraw from Liang Yinglan's family at this time and marry Xiao Cherry, who was far away.

So Zhao Shengyuan hurriedly left Lingxian early the next morning, not daring to face Xiao Cherry, who was full of affection.

Unexpectedly, on the day Zhao Shengyuan got married, the police suddenly came to the door to arrest Zhao Shengyuan.

At that time, Li Zhentang was also drinking wine at Zhao's house, and it was under his instigation that Zhao Shengyuan broke through the encirclement of the police and fled into the vast mountains not far from the village.

And all of this is actually framed by Li Zhentang.

Li Zhentang sold the white jade gourd to Zhang Yuhe for a few hundred yuan.

Although a few hundred yuan at that time was not a small amount, Li Zhentang returned home and spent a lot of money, and after a few months, he had no money left.

But if he wanted to sell the "Reincarnation Spirit Rune" to Zhang Yuhe for only 3,000 yuan, he was unwilling no matter what.

It happened that when Zhao Shengyuan invited him to dinner that day, he took a fancy to the "reincarnation spirit rune".

Li Zhentang took the opportunity to set up a plan, first let Zhao Shengyuan put on his Taoist clothes, and sold the "reincarnation spirit talisman" to Zhang Yuhe.

After that, Zhang Yuhe was tracked and monitored for several days, figuring out Zhang Yuhe's home address, as well as his work and rest time, and then sneaked into Zhang Yuhe's house to steal the "reincarnation spirit talisman" again.

At that time, he didn't think of killing people, and the reason why he asked Zhao Shengyuan to come forward to sell the "reincarnation spirit talisman" to Zhang Yuhe was because he thought that if Zhang Yuhe reported the theft, the police would then track it down, and it would only trace Zhao Shengyuan's head.

Of course, he really imagined the police as idiots, but the vast majority of criminals will have the same luck mentality.

Unexpectedly, he sneaked into Zhang Yuhe's house that day, and first alarmed Zhang Yuhe, and Li Zhentang stabbed Zhang Yuhe.

Immediately after Zhang Yuhe's wife also got up to inspect, he stabbed Zhang Yu and his wife to death.

The watch was actually not dropped by Zhang Yuhe when he was fighting with Li Zhentang, but after stabbing the two people, Li Zhentang was flustered for a while and deliberately threw the watch at the scene, trying to completely blame Zhao Shengyuan.

After that, he stole the cash stored by Zhang Yuhe's family, as well as the jade pendant of the "Reincarnation Spirit Rune".

He buried a set of black clothes and pants stained with blood on his body at the back of Zhao Shengyuan's house at night.

Then he returned to Lingxian County, waited for a while, and before the police came to the door, he first received an invitation from Zhao Shengyuan, inviting him to drink wine in Deng County.

As soon as Li Zhentang came to think that once Zhao Shengyuan married, Xiao Cherry would naturally die for Zhao Shengyuan;

Second, he also wanted to inquire about the theft and murder case in Deng County.

So he paid twenty yuan as a gift, and despite the long distance, he went to Deng County to attend Zhao Shengyuan's wedding.

Unexpectedly, on the day when Zhao Shengyuan officially married, the Beiyang City Police and the Deng County Police arrested Zhao Shengyuan.

This is not a mistake by the police.

Because in those days, transportation was far less convenient than it is now, and communication was even less developed. Equipment such as landline telephones are only available to township governments.

Therefore, when the police received reports from the masses and dispatched police officers to the village where Zhao Shengyuan lived to investigate and collect evidence, it happened to coincide with the day when Zhao Shengyuan got married.

The police could have postponed the arrest for a few days until it was completely determined that Zhao Shengyuan was the murderer, but the police considered that once the bride and groom entered the cave room, the bride's life would also be ruined.

At that time, a woman's reputation could be said to be more important than her life.

Therefore, the police will quickly dispatch police forces to arrest Zhao Shengyuan in advance.

But as a result, there were too many guests in Daohe that day, not only did Zhao Shengyuan escape by taking advantage of the chaos, but the police also failed to find fingerprints in Zhao Shengyuan's house that matched the fingerprints of the murderer left by Zhang Yuhe's family.

However, behind Zhao Shengyuan's house, he dug up a set of black clothes and pants with blood.

And after many people in the same village confirmed, the old watch that the murderer lost in Zhang Yuhe's house was owned by Zhao Shengyuan.
