"That's true! If the victim is too tall, he can only hold it up and stab it, and if the other party is short, he usually stabs it, which is convenient and more conducive to stabbing the other party. ”

So Lord Yang no longer bothered about this problem, but ordered someone to bring Master Liu's family immediately, and by the way, he borrowed someone from Su Wenqing to search Master Liu's cabin.

"The master said that where there are Jiang bandits, even if the Jiang bandits get on the boat, it will be useless for everyone to stay in the main hall, and they will be served in a pot, so he wants to go back to the cabin to rest."

A woman in her prime-aged years couldn't cry, and after wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she couldn't help but whimper.

Su Yizhao looked at the woman in front of him who I felt sorry for, and suddenly despised Master Liu in his heart.

Master Liu should have passed the age of no confusion, right? This woman looks like she's just a little bit younger, smaller than his daughters, how can she do it?

This woman is the twelfth concubine that Master Liu has just accepted, and it is only more than a month, this time Master Liu wants to go to the Beiyuan Mansion to negotiate a deal, so he will bring the concubine Liang to serve with him.

"Why is there no Jiang bandit in your family?" Lord Yang snorted coldly.

"The lord said that he traveled from south to north, and his experience was extraordinary, and at a glance he knew that it was not the robbers. Robbers usually hijack ships late at night in order to take them by surprise. In order not to startle the snake, even if there is an internal response, he does not dare to act rashly during the day, how can he suddenly kill someone? ”

When everyone heard this, they all felt that it made sense.

"That's right! Anyway, we can't run, wouldn't it be better to start later? Someone suddenly realized.

Su Yizhao nodded, the reason why she didn't pay attention to Shopkeeper Zhou's deal with Jiang Bandit was because she felt that it was not very likely that Jiang Bandit would do it.

Therefore, she has been targeting the killers as the people on the ship, including the boatmen and passengers.

"It turns out that Master Liu has such a high opinion, but why didn't he say it just now?" Someone questioned.

The slave and maid also asked him so, and the master said that he didn't want to cause trouble, and this matter was premeditated at first glance, and more things were better than less. He is a businessman, and when he gets into trouble, he can't get rid of it. ”

Su Yizhao was surprised that this old man Liu looked like a nouveau riche on the outside, but he didn't expect to be so shrewd, he was really unseemly.

That's right, too! If you are not shrewd, how can you be so rich?

Lord Yang was also surprised, but then sighed again.

"He didn't want to cause trouble, but he buried his own life, and this matter has nothing to do with himself! If he doesn't go back to the cabin, then he is still alive. ”

"He's going back to the cabin, do you have a companion?" Lord Yang then asked.

"Yes! The old man said that he didn't sleep well last night, so the slave and maid accompanied the old man to take a nap. The woman's expression became a little unnatural at this moment.

"When he woke up, the old man felt hungry and wanted to eat the crispy chicken made by the slave maid, so the slave went straight to the kitchen, planning to make it for the master to taste."

The expressions of the crowd could not help but become ambiguous, but this was not the time to think about this.

The woman's words were verified by the kitchen master, and she did make crispy chicken.

Lord Yang then asked everyone about the time when Master Liu left, and after calculating, he said: "That is to say, he was killed within this half an hour, did you return to the room and find out that he was killed?" ”

"When the slave came back with the crispy chicken, as soon as she opened the door, she found the old man lying on the ground."

The woman continued to sob, not knowing how sincere she was, or perhaps she was worried that she would have no support in the future.

"In this way, Liang's suspicion is the greatest, after all, we don't know what happened before she entered the kitchen." Su Wenqing said suddenly.

"Indeed! There are only two of you in the cabin, and five of you are witnessing on your behalf, so you are not free from suspicion. ”

Lord Yang looked at the woman's figure and found that she was about the same height as Master Liu, and suddenly his suspicion of her deepened a little.

When the woman heard this, she immediately panicked, "But the slave has been in the kitchen for more than a quarter of an hour, how can you kill him?" ”

Everyone Wen Yan immediately calculated in their hearts, it turned out that Master Liu only had less than a quarter of an hour.

"Kill him while he's unprepared, it only takes a few breaths, it's completely enough, and there will be a gap to clean up." Lord Yang said with a cold face.

"But the slave didn't kill anyone, so why did the slave kill the master? The old man is dead, and the slave and maid don't know how to live in the future. ”

Liang shook his head, already panicked at the moment.

"My lord, no other belongings were found in Master Liu's cabin." Shopkeeper Zhou came in at this moment to report.

"How much silver did Master Liu bring with him this time?" Lord Yang asked Liang Shi.

Liang said without thinking: "The master said that he wanted to negotiate a deal, he didn't talk to the slave and maid in detail, but the slave and maid heard him reveal that it will not be less than 10,000 taels." ”

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, so much?

"So so much silver is gone? Even rummaging takes a certain amount of time, and the official just saw that there were no traces of rummaging in Master Liu's room, which means that the murderer must know where he hid his belongings. ”

With such an analysis, Lord Yang felt that the Liang family was even more suspicious.

After being exposed to three murder cases at once, Lord Yang gradually became familiar with the process of handling cases, and his thinking became agile.

Su Yizhao lowered her eyes and pondered, she looked at the Liang family, who was already pale with fright, but she had another suspicion in her heart.

Liang shook his head desperately, and his face was already frightened at the moment.

"My lord Mingjian, how can a slave and maid kill the master? There's no reason for that! ”

"It just so happened that there was a murder on the ship, so you planned this and wanted to put the case on the previous murderer. When the time comes, take the silver ticket and fly away, no one will find you, and you won't have to do the work of serving people anymore, yes or no? Lord Yang said coldly.

"Impossible, the deed of sale of the slave and maid is still in the hands of the master's mother, where can I go with the silver?" Liang said categorically.

"Oh! The slave remembered that the master's silver ticket was packed in a box, a box with a yellow pear carved with a longevity peach. At that time, the old man opened it and showed it to the slave maid, and the slave and maid only saw a thick pile. ”

Liang suddenly remembered this and was very excited.

He also said that the silver ticket should be kept by his side in the safest way, and then the slave and maid rested with the master, and the master slept on the inside with the box in his hand. It must have been the murderer who saw the box on the bed, so he killed the old man and killed him for money. ”

"Hugh has to quibble, as long as you have money in your hands, don't you still worry about finding a way? When you saw the box in Master Liu's hand, you became greedy, so you killed him. ”

Lord Yang didn't listen to Liang's words and asked the shopkeeper Zhou.

"Have you seen a yellow pear box?"

Shopkeeper Zhou shook his head, "No!" ”

Huanghuali's box is also a valuable thing, and they will definitely pay attention to it.

Lord Yang frowned, found two female passengers on the ship to search Liang's body, and ordered someone to search Master Liu's cabin again.
