Chapter 156: Thinking Backwards
Listening to the movement from next door, Qiao Mu'an quickly flipped through the "cloth" in his hand, and then put it back in its original place.
He quietly approached the other room and looked inside, where Xu Liang was taking out a bag from the cabinet.
There was some gold and silver and a few silver tickets in the baggage, Xu Liang pulled one out of it, and then put the rest back in its original place.
As long as Xue You doesn't deliberately count when he comes back, he shouldn't be able to find the problem of less money for the time being.
Xu Liang took the money and didn't leave it for a moment, and left immediately, and when he left, he was very careful to restore some of the messy places.
Qiao Mu'an waited patiently for a while, and only entered Xue You's room when he felt that Xu Liang should go far away.
He opened the baggage in the cabinet, looked at the contents and hesitated slightly, according to his thoughts, he would hide this burden in Xu Liang's house.
This is the fastest and most concise way to separate Xu Liang Xue You, no matter what he wants to know from these two people, it will have a good effect, but he can't make claims.
Sometimes he knows this, but he can't help but always make some decisions on his own, and only then will he feel an unusual sense of satisfaction, as if he is still in control of his own destiny.
Trying to ignore the discomfort in his heart, he began to search around the room.
……
"Are you saying that Xue You and Xu Liang will regularly receive money from Shengjing?" Shen Qinglin felt a little incredible, from the previous investigation results, it can be known that the Xu and Xue families are not in Shengjing, who will give money to the two of them on a regular basis, if it is Xu Liang's relatives who are officials, they will not give money to Xue You, who has nothing to do with it.
"Yes!" Qiao Mu'an handed over some papers, "These are the approximate expenses of Xu and Xue in the past few months. ”
Shen Qinglin looked at the number on the paper and was taken aback, "Nine hundred and thirty taels!" ”
This is not at all the money that two ordinary people from ordinary backgrounds can take out at will, and the attitude of these two people who spend money is that they are not worried that the money will be spent at all.
Qiao Mu'an continued: "The subordinates also found two identical pieces of cloth in the room of the two of them, saying that it may not be appropriate, and the whole cloth was embroidered on the cloth itself with a thread of the same color as the cloth, and there was no pattern, so it just made the cloth look thicker. ”
Shen Qinglin was also confused by these news, and for a while he couldn't understand what these seemingly unrelated things represented each other.
He sighed, "Tell her this!" ”
Who she is is self-evident.
Qiao Mu'an asked as if confirmed, "Do you want to tell the young lady all these things?" ”
"Questions?" Shen Qinglin was a little impatient, and asked back with a twisted eyebrow.
"Of course not!" Qiao Mu moved with peace of mind, and said tentatively: "Miss cares about Liu Shunhua's case, and the only clue at the moment is the witness who saw Liu Shunhua appear at the scene of Zhu Er's death that day, and this witness said that it was Xu Liang who had an appointment with him......"
He was interrupted impatiently by Shen Qinglin in the middle of his words, "Okay, I'm not interested in these speculative words, if you want to say it, go with her!" ”
Qiao Mu'an bowed his head in some disappointment and responded: "Yes!" ”
He exited the door, walked to Shen Qingyu's courtyard without stopping, and then poured everything clean at a glance, and finally said, "That's it!" Does the young lady have any other orders? If not, the subordinate will retire. ”
Shen Qingyu was taken aback by the amount of this information, and wondered how much she had missed in a trance.
Xu and Xue's unknown source of wealth, the same suspicious "embroidery", what does this mean? Is it related to Zhu Er's case?
She looked up and saw Qiao Mu'an lowering her eyebrows, and with the idea that one more person would have one more idea, she asked, "Do you have any ideas?" ”
Qiao Mu'an was stunned for a moment, "Miss, you asked me?" ”
After receiving Shen Qingyu's affirmative nod, he continued to say what he had not finished in Shen Qinglin before,
"The witness who said that he saw Liu Shunhua appear there was an appointment with Xu Liang, and the location was not far from the place where Zhu Er died, as long as it is proved that Xu Liang is the person who made an appointment with Zhu Er, does it mean that Xu Liang is most likely the one who killed Zhu Er?"
Shen Qingyu shook his head: "It doesn't make sense, let's assume that Xu Liang made an appointment with Zhu Er in advance, why did he make an appointment with that witness again, and the location is very close, if it is the person he killed, isn't it easy to be touched?" ”
"The subordinates are also speculating, since it was the stones that could be seen everywhere that caused Zhu Er's death, then the murderer's killing of Zhu Er was likely to be a temporary intention, if it was planned for a long time, a more secure method should be used."
Shen Qingyu pondered: "You mean that if Xu Liang is the murderer, then he made an appointment with Zhu Er and that witness at the same time, he met Zhu Er before going to the appointment with that witness, and killed someone on impulse, and Liu Shunhua was seen by the witness It was just a coincidence?" ”
Qiao Mu'an said: "Isn't this a very logical guess? ”
Could it be that Liu Shunhua is just unlucky?
Shen Qingyu felt that this statement could not convince herself, "But you have already assumed that Xu Liang is the murderer!" ”
"Xu Liang lived in Zhu Er's house, and on the day Zhu Er died, he made an appointment to meet near the place of Zhu Er's death, which is too coincidental if it is a coincidence! Before Zhu Er died, he told his family that he would have a lot of money soon, and Xu Liang happened to have a huge wealth of unknown sources on a regular basis, which means that Xu Liang also had a reason to kill people. ”
Shen Qingyu listened to Qiao Mu'an's words, and he figured out the ins and outs of the case in his heart, Liu Shunhua's appearance there was an accident, and it was not in the murderer's plan, if the murderer wanted to blame her, it would not be established, because he could not guarantee that the witnesses would definitely see her.
This shows that her previous conjecture was completely wrong, she originally thought that the murderer threw away the extra stones in order to blame Liu Shunhua, but if there were no witnesses, Liu Shunhua would not be found, and even became a suspect.
The witness was made with Xu Liang, so the witness would definitely appear nearby, if this was a confirmed part of the homicide case, then Zhu Er's death would not be the result of the murderer's impulse, but the result of the murderer's careful planning.
From this point of view, the murderer should be someone else who wants to blame.
It's not Liu Shunhua, it's Xu Liang.
In order to ensure that he would not be seen killing people, the murderer chose such a place, and he killed Zhu Er before the time when the witness and Xu Liang met, and the rest was to wait.
But Zhu Er attracted Liu Shunhua's attention, Liu Shunhua's appearance was too fast, so that the murderer could only hide aside to watch the changes after killing people, but at this time, the witness had already discovered Liu Shunhua's figure, which was different from the murderer's plan.
