Chapter 15: Mrs. Chen
In the Yanai of Yongding County, Wu Teng and Fan Ai, the two head catchers, had a calm face and did not say a word.
They are all well-known gods in Yongding County, but so far, the two are still clueless about this missing person case. I didn't believe that Ye Feng could grasp the key clues to solve the case just by reading the confession once.
As the saying goes, don't challenge my profession with your hobbies.
This time, the two are under pressure that they shouldn't be under at their age.
"Chen Qi, male, six years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, married, childless, is the shopkeeper of Chen Ji Dyeing Workshop in Yongding County.
Every other month, he would go to Lincheng on a fixed date to buy the grey fabric needed for the dyeing workshop, and each time he would take the boatman Hu San's boat. Before the trip, Chen Qi would inform Hu San a few days in advance, and prepaid a penny of silver as a fixed money, so the trip has been more than three consecutive years and has never changed.
Yesterday at noon, around midnight, Chen Qi left home for the ferry as usual.
During this period, the boatman Hu San has been waiting at the ferry, but he has never seen Chen Qi.
At about the time of unitary, the boatman Hu San thought that Chen Qiyan was untrustworthy, and temporarily changed his travel plan, but he didn't tell himself, so he waited for a day in vain. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he went to Chen Qi's house to ask for an explanation.
Hu San, the boatman, came to Chen Qi's house and met with Chen Qi's wife to explain what happened, and the two learned that Chen Qi was missing.
The two searched around to no avail, so they came to the county government together to report to the official.
That's all there is to it. ”
Ye Feng showed the file in his hand and briefly retold the original story of the whole case.
These are all recorded in the dossier, and it is not surprising that they can be retelled. Wu Teng and Fan Ai looked at Ye Feng and did not answer, but waited for him to continue.
Looking at the puzzled eyes of the two, Ye Feng smiled faintly and pointed to the file in his hand: "The confessions of the boatman Hu San and Chen Qi's wife are very detailed, and it can be said that they are perfect and perfect. But as everyone knows, the more flaws there are. And the key to this case lies in the confession of the boatman Hu San. ”
After listening to Ye Feng's words, Wu Teng suddenly frowned and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Hu San's confession?" ”
"Why did the boatman Hu San go to Chen Qi's house?" Ye Feng asked him rhetorically.
Wu Teng replied: "Of course, I went to find Chen Qi, Hu San thought that Chen Qi had missed the appointment, so he went to Chen Qi to ask for an explanation." ”
"That's right, then do you remember what was the first thing the boatman Hu San said when he went to Chen Qi's house to call the door?" Ye Feng asked again.
Wu Teng and Fan Ai glanced at each other and became even more puzzled.
Wu Teng stepped forward and took the file, flipped to the confession of the boatman Hu San, and read: "The boatman Hu San said that he knocked on the door of Chen Qi's house and shouted, 'Chen Niangzi, is Chen Qi at home?' ’”
Ye Feng nodded and said lightly: "The problem is here. ”
The two looked at each other, still not understanding what Ye Feng meant.
Ye Feng smiled bitterly, turned his head and asked Fan Ai: "If you go to Wu Teng and knock on the door of Wu Teng's house, what will you say?" ”
Fan Ai rubbed his head and said weakly: "Of course you call him directly, Wu Teng!" At home?! ”
Ye Feng nodded, revealing a meaningful look at the two.
The two of them still didn't react to Ye Feng's words at this time, they were silent for a while, Wu Teng slapped his face violently, and shouted like an initiation: "That's right!" If the boatman Hu San went to Chen Qi to ask for an explanation, he should call Chen Qi's name directly when calling the door! Instead of shouting his wife, Mrs. Chen! Go and ask Chen Qi if he is at home again! ”
Fan Ai also reacted suddenly, adding: "Call Mrs. Chen as soon as you open your mouth, Hu San must know that Chen Qi is not at home!" Therefore, Hu San must have known that Chen Qi was missing at that time! ”
Ye Feng looked at the reactions of the two and smiled knowingly.
The more Wu Teng and Fan Ai thought about it, the more excited they became, and the more they spoke, the more excited they became, like a student who had solved the answer to a practical problem.
"That's right! That's right! I didn't think of that! ”
"Your mind is full of girls in Qinglou, can you think of a fart!"
"Ye Feng, you went to death row once, and the whole person has become smarter!"
"Hahaha!"
Ye Feng looked at the way the two of them kept celebrating, and for a while he didn't know whether the two were scolding themselves or praising themselves.
"I need to hurry up and report to the county order!"
"I'll take someone to catch Hu San!"
The two sang and harmonized, and tacitly assigned the next work.
……
Zhou's house, inner hall.
In the quiet courtyard, the sound of Zhou Changsheng reading aloud could be heard from time to time.
"Those who lose the world will also lose their people! Those who lose their people also lose their hearts! ”
"With the heart of unbearable people, the government of unbearable people, the palm of the world can be transported!"
"The benevolent, the people, the kiss is great! The righteous should also respect the virtuous! ”
In the room, Zhou Xianling sat on a chair, looking at the official hat on the table, and the whole person was very crazy.
His face was full of sorrow, he kept sighing, and the sound of Zhou Changsheng's reading echoed in his ears, and the more he listened, the more upset he became.
As the county magistrate of Guo County, he has always been depressed, and he has been a county magistrate for more than ten years, although he is not at fault, but he has no political achievements at all.
The disappearance of a wealthy businessman has attracted widespread attention, and if this case can be solved, it will definitely be a brilliant political achievement.
But how did this case be solved? Chen Qisheng can't see anyone, he can't see his body when he dies, where can he find it?!
Zhou County's order became more and more anxious, the more angry he became, and the whole person became more and more irritable.
"Dad, let's have something to eat."
Zhou Youshuang walked into the inner hall with a bowl of tea and a few plates of refreshments.
Zhou Xianling glanced up at her and sighed: "I really don't have an appetite." ”
It is said that the daughter is the father's little padded jacket, and at this time, only Zhou Youshuang's words can make him listen.
Zhou Youshuang put the things in the tea tray on the table the same way, and said with relief: "Dad, this is your favorite osmanthus cake, you drink tea, eat a snack, what can you think of in a while?" It's always good to take a break. ”
Zhou Xianling retracted his thoughts, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "It's still a daughter, look at your brother, he will excerpt the sage's classics every day, and he actually said something fake and empty, and the Zhou family pointed at him and turned over, it's no fun." ”
As he was talking, the sound of hurried footsteps came, Wu Teng walked into the inner hall quickly, stood still after crossing the threshold, bent down and arched his hands, his tone was full of excitement and excitement: "Lord County Order, there has been a major discovery in the case of Chen Qi's disappearance, please issue a card ticket immediately, and the villain will take people to arrest the murderer!" ”
These words made Zhou Xianling's body shake suddenly, and the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"What? You repeat?! ”
Wu Teng calmed down and described all the analyses and discussions he had just had with Ye Feng and Fan Ai to Zhou County Ling in detail.
"My lord, we agree that this is not just a case of missing persons, but a murder case of money. Hu San, the boatman, was addicted to gambling and lost a lot of money. This time, he saw Chen Qi with a large number of silver tickets, and when he saw the wealth, he killed Chen Qi. then lied that he had not seen Chen Qi, went to Chen Qi's house to pretend to look for him, and reported to the official with Chen Qi's wife. ”
After listening to Wu Teng's description, Zhou Xianling's breathing gradually increased, and the whole person was stunned.
Not only was he shocked by the truth of the case, but also shocked by Ye Feng's analysis results.
"You just said that these are all inferred by Ye Feng with a confession?!"
Wu Teng and Ye Feng have been friends for many years, and the Ye family and the Zhou County Ling family are old friends, and they don't take credit, so they report everything truthfully: "That's right, it is indeed the result of Ye Feng's analysis based on his confession!" ”
Zhou Xian Ling slumped the whole person in the chair, and the whole person fell into a deep shock.
Zhou Youshuang's eyes on the side were wandering, and her eyes were full of worship. Although she didn't understand the investigation of the case, it was not difficult to conclude from Wu Teng's description that Ye Feng helped her father solve a big problem this time.
