Chapter 5 Red Gate Inn (5) Old things about the main family
Mo Chen told everyone his guess, judging from the stiffness of Sun Ma's body, the time of death should be short, of course, he is not a forensic doctor, everything is just his guess. If the corpse has been left for a long time, even a layman knows that there will be corpse spots on the corpse and an unpleasant smell of decay, but none of these phenomena have appeared on Sun Ma's body.
"Didn't Uncle Xu just say that she was a martyr for the second wife!" Wang Lei suddenly remembered Uncle Xu's words, Fang Xiaoxue choked and said, "Don't lie to you so much, will you obediently stay here and wait for him to lock the door?" â
Once or twice, Wang Lei endured it, Fang Xiaoxue, this girl really deserves to be hated by thousands of people, and she deserves to be snubbed by everyone, "You are smart, you have a lot of eyes, and you are not also locked up here!" â
"Don't make any noise, listen to the gentleman!" Zhang Zili scolded loudly.
Mo Chen continued to analyze, it should be true that the second wife of the family had just died, no matter how he said it, Uncle Xu and his subordinates did not dare to joke about the affairs of the master's family. However, Mo Chen carefully examined Sun Ma's corpse, and there were nail scratches on her neck, and several of Sun Ma's nails had been broken, indicating that she had experienced a very painful struggle before she died. Although it is said that the hanged person, because of the painful way of death, eventually regrets and wants to give up, and it is normal to struggle, but which one will grab the rope on the back of his neck? On the back side of Sun Ma's neck, there were two deep nail scratches, which made Mo Chen guess that someone strangled Sun Ma's neck from behind, in order to scratch the murderer behind her, so she inadvertently scratched the back of her neck. Moreover, Sun Ma's back heel has friction scars, but the socks are clean, as if someone deliberately disguised herself as suicide after killing Sun Ma, and put on her shoes and socks.
"Assuming your guess is right, Sun Ma was disguised as a suicide, so why did Uncle Xu frame us for murder?" Chen Cen felt that Mo Chen's guess was a little unreasonable, according to Mo Chen's guess, wouldn't Uncle Xu know in advance that Sun Ma did not commit suicide? Could it be that he is the murderer?
Mo Chen thought for a while and said, "I'm thinking, maybe the murderer wanted to disguise Sun Ma as a suicide at the beginning, but it happened that our arrival changed the murderer's plan, and for the sake of insurance, he simply framed us, so that if the official came up and found out that Sun Ma was really killed by him, we would become the murderers of the top bag." â
"So, the murderer is Uncle Xu?" Meng Xinyao asked.
Mo Chen paused, "It's hard to say, maybe it is, it may also be trying to cover up the real murderer, in short, now we have to find a way to get out of here and figure things out." â
"You're saying it simply, how are we going to get out? Jumping out of the window?" Fang Xiaoxue began to transmit negative energy to everyone again.
"Ahem!" There were two dry coughs outside the door, Mo Chen approached the door, and looked out through the gap in the door, it was Zheng Yi holding a candle with a faint candlelight.
Zheng Yi whispered outside the door, "I can help you out!" But you have to promise me one thing! â
âCīŧâ Wang Lei cursed in a low voice, if Zheng Yi hadn't shouted loudly just now, they wouldn't have been locked up by Uncle Xu, and now they are pretending to be good people!
Mo Chen said: "Why should we believe in you! â
"I apologized to you for being reckless just now, but I need your help now, and in exchange, I'll let you out, how about it?" Zheng Yi whispered through the crack in the door.
The key to the lock of the door, in Uncle Xu's hands, Zheng Yi couldn't open the lock, but he had his own way, taking the tools in his hand, and removing the nails on the door one by one. In this way, the door can be opened, let Mo Chen and them out, and close the door to look like it is blocked, so as to prevent Xu Bo from suddenly coming to check, and Mo Chen and them can return to the house and pretend that nothing has happened.
The door opened, and Zheng Yi did not immediately let Mo Chen and them out, but now told his "request" to Mo Chen and the others.
Zheng Yi is a guy who has just been hired recently, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the master's family, the owner's surname is Qian, and the owner of the family is called Master Qian, but he passed away suddenly a few days before Zheng Yi came here. Uncle Xu told Zheng Yi that Mr. Qian went out to Linxian to collect accounts a few days ago, and when he met the mountain bandits on the way back, when the family sent someone to greet him, he picked up the body of Mr. Qian, who had already died at the hands of the bandits, and the gold and silver on his body were gone, and several fellow men were also killed.
The head of the family is gone, and the problem faced by the Qian family, in addition to the division of property, is the problem of the heir. Master Qian had two ladies before his death, and the eldest lady gave birth to a son for Master Qian earlier, that is, Mo Chen had just seen the bald man. Young master Qian Tianlong, because when he was born, a fortune teller had read his fate, saying that his life was evil and hard, and he was a wife and daughter, and his parents were on the side. So, Master Qian was sent to the temple by Master Qian, and became a monk, saying that he would wait for him to become an adult, and then return home. It's just that I didn't expect that before I saw the eldest young master go home, Master Qian went first.
Two years after the Qian family was sent to the temple, the two ladies were pregnant almost at the same time, which made Master Qian very happy, and he also left the original Da Shao's life behind. I thought that the ancestors had accumulated virtue, and the generation of the Qian family would definitely be prosperous, but I never thought that the eldest lady gave birth to a dead baby, and what made Master Qian grief-stricken was that the dead baby was still a boy, and the little master of the Qian family had not opened his eyes to see this world of flowers, so he hurriedly went. And the second aunt is too peachy, but she gave birth to a daughter without being angry, but this is also a comfort for the old man Qian who has just lost his son, after all, the rich and noble family, the daughter is also the pearl of the palm, and she will be treated well. It's a pity that the eldest lady was born before term, and she had a strange disease, her face was pale, her lips were purple, and she died soon after. The Qian family sent Lang Zhong to see it, and said that the eldest lady was sick in the womb, probably because the second aunt accidentally took a medicine similar to pregnancy when she was pregnant with Miss, but because the measurement was insufficient, so the young lady landed safely, but she was affected by the medicine, but she could not grow up.
In this mansion, she is pregnant, how can the second aunt not want to fight for a place for herself, needless to say, this must be someone secretly playing ghosts, and this ghost person, no matter who looks at it, is the most suspicious of the wife of the Qian family.
Because there is no evidence to prove that this matter is related to Mrs., and Mrs. has just lost her son, she is depressed and even sick in bed, even if the second aunt has been troublesome with Master Qian for a long time, in the end, this matter is not over. After a long time, no one mentioned the two ladies again, and this matter became a topic of conversation after tea and dinner behind the host's back.
