Chapter 196: Analyzing the facts of the case, suddenly encountering a name
"I know about it."
Yu Feng frowned when he heard Yijing mention it slightly: "Things are very strange, the fifth sister left Beijing the next day, and I don't know what happened, but I inquired, according to Mama Song's confession that day, although she didn't see the murderer's eyebrows because it was dark, she was sure to be a man in the prime of life, although he was tall and strong, he could flee under her blow, and he didn't seem to have the strength to fight back, so he shouldn't be a person who practices martial arts." β
Although Mama Song once fought in the field, she originally didn't know martial arts, and she was only involved after following the eldest princess, although she was good at riding and archery, and her swordsmanship was also good, but compared to a "professional master" like Gray Du, she was not a strong martial artist, that is, half a bucket of water.
The murderer was able to be hit by her with a blow that day and fled in fright, which shows that he knew that he was invincible, and it was probably possible to judge that the murderer was not a martial artist.
This also seems to be in line with the murderer's mentality of only looking for a woman who lives alone.
"That murderer has a flexible pace, although he has never practiced martial arts, but he can jump over the wall with his hands and feet, and he should be in the prime of life." Yu Feng also said: "And the victim did not have a grudge with others, although the family had a small property, but the property was not lost, it can be seen that the murderer was not for money." β
There is no sign of being violated, and the murderer is not a color.
It's not a love killing, it's not a vendetta killing, it's not a financial killing, what is that motive for?
"The house where the murdered widow lived was leaking from the rain, and last month it was repaired by craftsmen who made a living from odd jobs in the market, but most of these people were homeless people who lived on coolies and had no fixed residence. Yu Feng continued: "I only found out that the odd jobs hired by the victim were all sturdy laborers in their early thirties, and if the murderer was one of them, then it would be impossible to be over forty years old, which is also consistent with Mama Song's confession." β
Yi Jing frowned slightly: "But if he committed the crime more than twenty years ago, the murderer should have been over forty years old." β
"Those who don't know martial arts, if they are not born with superior arm strength, if they want to hang a corpse from a beam, they must at least pass the age of the crown to have this ability." Yu Feng agreed.
"But the strange thing is that just a few days after Song Hui left Jinyang, the murderer actually knew that Song Mama had become a solitary person?" Yi Jing shook her head: "Mama Song is such a cautious person, if someone deliberately approaches, she will definitely be aware of it, so that she will not find the suspect after the incident." β
"What's more, why did the murderer hang the body in front of Song's house?" Yu Feng also felt that this matter was strange: "In many murder cases in the past, the murderer acted cautiously and did not leave clues, but this time, it seems to be a bit risky, why did he commit a crime in Beijing, why did he risk being found and hang his body in front of Mama Song's door?" He didn't even inquire about Mama Song's details, you must know that Mama Song is not a weak woman and children, it is not a secret, the murderer only needs to inquire a little, and he knows that it will be risky to attack Mama Song. β
"Could it be that the murderer has a grudge against Mama Song?" Yijing rubbed his eyebrows, unable to figure out the key to it.
"It's kind of like a demonstration." Yu Feng said: "If it is for revenge, how can you act in such a hurry? and killed the widow who had no grudge against Mama Song, how could she succeed? His behavior was somewhat like a demonstration, or rather...... Compliments? When Yu Feng said this, he also shook his head: "I can't figure out the trick either, but I just have a feeling that the mind of this murderer is not something that ordinary people can understand." β
"But it has a lot to do with Mama Song." Yi Jing's intuition was like this: "So, will this murderer attack Mama Song again?" β
This assumption is not certain at the moment.
The two discussed it, but they didn't find any clue, and they were about to go back to the house, but before the courtyard gate, another ridiculous thing happened.
- Xiao Langjun stays!
There was a sharp shouting behind him.
Yu Feng and Yijing subconsciously turned around, but when they saw a middle-aged man with a short figure, holding a coarse cloth long coat, and running forward with sturdy steps, several guards of the palace subconsciously wanted to block it, but when they saw Yu Feng slightly raised his arm to signal, he stood aside.
The middle-aged man's face was sweating, hanging on the corners of his eyebrows and cheeks, but his eyes were quite proud, and he glanced at Yijing directly, but he didn't make a sound, but Yijing seemed to "hear" a cold snort.
Who's coming......
This is everyone's doubt.
"Xiao Langjun is good, he is the housekeeper of the Li Mansion in the neighboring village." The middle-aged man folded his hands, but he didn't seem to be very respectful, and quickly stood up straight, as if waiting for Yu Feng to return the salute, but he didn't get a response for half a sound, and couldn't help but raise his two thick eyebrows: "Lang Jun is not from this county, or he has not heard of the reputation of my master, in Xianghe County, even the county commander does not dare to slack off." β
Yi Jing immediately thought of the "Li family sisters", pursed the corners of her lips, and glanced at the prince of Yushu beside her.
This man is outstanding...... It may not be a scourge.
Yu Feng naturally felt Yijing's "bad intentions", frowned and looked over, and then smiled lightly at the housekeeper: "What do you think?" β
The housekeeper seemed to be irritated by this indifferent attitude, coughed heavily, raised the corners of his lips, but did not smile: "Congratulations to Xiao Langjun, my eldest lady saw Langjun's demeanor in Liangyuan Bridge yesterday, and had a good impression for a while, and went back to the housewife, the housewife loves the eldest lady very much, so let the little one ask carefully, if Xiaolangjun is innocent, the housemother intends to ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "porphyry".
It turned out that the clear sky couldn't hold back and laughed.
The butler was immediately furious: "So rude! The cheeks puffed up more and more, and the sweat on the cheeks was crystal clear: "Xiao Langjun, the Li family has thousands of family wealth, but it is famous far and wide, my eldest lady is outstanding, there is no shortage of people who want to marry, just because the housewife heard that Xiao Langjun is talented, but she doesn't care about the wealth of the family, why don't Xiao Langjun tell the family, if my housewife thinks it is appropriate, and then invite someone to ask for marriage, and achieve marriage." β
Yijing turned around silently, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he couldn't bear to laugh very hard.
Yu Feng couldn't cry or laugh even more, and looked at the Li Mansion housekeeper who was picky and looked at him for a while before he said: "Thank you for your mother's love, but I don't have a favorite person, so I have to live up to it." His gaze looked at someone who seemed to be in a state of rehare, and he coughed lightly.
The housekeeper was furious! There are such ignorant people!
"Dare to ask Xiao Langjun what his surname is, and where is his home?"
Yu Feng was impatient and didn't want to entangle with him anymore, so he turned around and left.
Thinking about this, Steward Li is used to being domineering, how could he have suffered such slowness, and he wanted to step forward and pull.
As soon as he took a step, he raised his handβ
only listened to the sound of "Qiang Qiang" a few times, and the guards in the palace had already unsheathed their long swords, and a few cold lights pointed directly at Steward Li.
Yu Feng frowned, and a glance swept over.
The guards had just put away their swords, and there were several "bangs", and the movements were so fast that it was as if they had never acted.
Steward Li was still stunned on the spot, and he didn't have time to scold.
Yu Feng and his entourage had already entered the house and ignored it.
Such a "little turmoil" was treated as a joke at night, which attracted the eldest princess to be happy, and Yu Feng made a joke again, saying that with the demeanor and talent of the prince, if he was born in the Western Jin Dynasty, he would not have attracted the fruit to win the car, no wonder the little lady fell in love at first sight and made the house slave ask for his name.
So Aunt Wan explained the origin of this Li Mansion again, but it is not a local clan, but because the ancestors have accumulated wealth in business, and they are not willing to be accused of being inferior to businessmen, they returned to the clan to buy a field house, and want to be among the "farming and reading family", this generation of family owners also have a number of shops in Beijing, and there are 10,000 acres of fertile land under their names, and the rich reputation in Xianghe is really far away.
Because the eldest princess was very cautious in this trip, and did not mobilize the people, even if the pro-soldiers who followed did not wear leather armor and uniforms, let alone alarm the local officials, even if the chief who came to the door today, I am afraid that he never thought that the eldest princess was there in person, except for him, others did not know that this grange was the property of the Weiguo Mansion.
Therefore, although most of the neighbors think that those who can afford to buy good land farms must be rich and noble, they are also ignorant and do not know the identity of nobles.
Yijing followed her grandmother and laughed secretly, but she didn't care.
Wei Qi Niang was still a little dissatisfied with the "white-eyed" Li family sisters, but she didn't want to say anything wrong, and only joked about the world: "Fortunately, Brother Feng will return to Beijing tomorrow, if you stay for a few more days, you may be forced to propose." β
These words caused everyone to laugh again, but no one took it to heart, but they didn't want to, and the next day when Yu Feng returned to Beijing, someone from the Li family really came to the door again.
The housewife of the Li family, who was originally just a businesswoman and lived in the countryside for a long time, naturally had no knowledge, and thought that the entire Xianghe, only her family was the most wealthy, and then the so-called "nobleman" - according to several daughters, although she was also wearing brocade and embroidered skirts, and she was good to wear, but she talked and laughed with those rough villagers, and she didn't know the taboos, and she showed up without a hat, how could she be a lady? It's just a businessman in the capital.
The mother of the Li family believed it, but she was worried that Xiao Langjun, who was praised as a heavenly by her daughter, was poor, and she was a little hesitant.
Coincidentally, on the thirteenth day, she returned from going out, passed by the bridge, and was drowsy, so she was shaken by her eldest daughter, pointed out the car window and said: "Auntie, look, it's him, it's him, it's him." β
The housewife of the Li family took a look, only to see a jade young man in a dark blue brocade robe riding on a horse, sure enough, it was a jade tree in the wind, polite and polite, and she liked it so much, thinking about it, although there was no gold embroidery beads, the young man did not wear a golden crown hosta, only tied his hair with green brocade, but after all, the person with brocade should not be poor.
When he returned home, he called the housekeeper and told him to "ask for his name" and let the other party understand his good intentions.
How did you know that when the housekeeper returned, he said that the little Langjun didn't know what to do, and he dared to draw his sword against him!
The mother of the Li family had never suffered such humiliation, and when she stayed in the evening, she cried to her husband, saying that she was humiliated and could not let it go.
The head of the family still has some knowledge, and after hearing about it, he reprimanded his wife: "You don't want to think about it, that house was originally the old business of the former dynasty, but a poor person can afford it?" What's more, there are thousands of acres of fertile land, so Lang Jun is obviously a guest they invited, how could he come from a poor family? β
"Ren is so, this is in Xianghe, how can a person from outside be overbearing, even the county magistrate has to treat us as guests, I don't believe they are bigger than the county magistrate, if they are really some great nobles, how can no one know where they come from." Li Nu was still unwilling.
That Master Li thought about it, what the woman said also made some sense, and then thought about his daughter, who had always been too high in his eyes, and finally moved his mind to marry this time, and the man's family background must not be too bad, but he could get married, and he listened to the persuasion, and came to the door in person the next day, of course, he would not be as rude as the housekeeper, but respectfully handed over the name to the meeting.
claimed that the house slave was presumptuous yesterday, he came to apologize, and he also hoped that "that little Langjun" could leave a name and surname, and the implication was that he still had to discuss with someone.
In the opinion of Master Li, his "Corporal Lixian", the other party will give some face, standing outside the Zhuangzi Gate, looking at the surrounding scenery and entering and exiting the slaves, and frequently bowing his head - it seems that it is also a prosperous family, but as the woman said, it is not a prominent nobleman, if it is really a noble eunuch, how can no one hear about it? Yesterday, he had fun drinking with the county order, and he never heard him mention a word.
Alas, Master Li usually has his eyes above the top and looks down on the country chief, even if he asks Zheng Lichang whose industry this is, I am afraid that there will be no such "whimsical" ideas.
