27. Suspicion
Following.
The entire town of Yunshan was silent.
After all, he is dead, and he is still the small leader of the Flying Fish Gang to manage the medicinal herb market.
Wan Huaichang personally led people to block the scene, waiting for the deputy gang leader Cao Hong and the arrest to arrive.
Not long after, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a black brocade coat embroidered with gold fish scales on his chest.
This person is Cao Hong, the deputy leader of the Flying Fish Gang.
Behind him, Wan Huaichang and a few other catchers all nodded their heads, their faces full of flattery.
Cao Hong's face was gloomy, and he walked directly into the courtyard of Liu Yishou's house.
At this time, in the courtyard, Liu Yishou's body was placed on a straw mat, covered with a white cloth, and his heart was stained with blood.
"Gang Leader Cao, look...... This is Liu Yishou's fatal injury! ”
Wan Huaichang lifted the white cloth and revealed the wound on his heart, "After identification, this should be caused by a dagger." ”
"And ...... The bruise on the neck, after judgment, was caused by a clenched one-hand...... Therefore, the murderer who killed Steward Liu should be a martial artist! ”
"Therefore, judging by what we have now, after the murderer broke into the bedroom, he grabbed Steward Liu's neck with his left hand to prevent him from screaming, and then stabbed him in the heart with a dagger and hanged him with a knife."
Cao Hong just glanced at the wounds on Liu Yishou's body and the bruises on his neck, and said directly:
"Did you find the murder weapon? Also, Liu Yishou's mother-in-law, didn't you see who the murderer was last night? ”
"The murder weapon...... If you can't find it, you may have been thrown into Cloud Lake. One of the soap-clad catchers swallowed quickly, "As for the murderer...... Last night, Steward Liu was drunk because of drinking, and his mother-in-law helped him cook sobering soup...... By the time he entered the room, Steward Liu was already dead. ”
"Drinking?"
Cao Hong frowned, "Where did you drink the wine?" With whom do you drink alcohol? ”
"In the Yushan Tavern, I drank with Su Qin, I heard that there was also the proprietress of the tavern, Yu Niang poured wine for them."
Wan Huaichang hurriedly explained on the side, with some envy in his eyes.
"Oh? That martial artist Su Qin, who didn't dare to see blood, could still ask that jade girl to pour him wine? ”
As for Liu Yishou? Cao Hong knew that he didn't have that face yet.
"This ...... It is indeed such a Cao gang leader, many people saw it last night. ”
Cao Hong nodded slowly, very surprised.
Su Qin, he has some impressions of this person, a martial artist who doesn't dare to see blood, in his opinion, it is useless at all.
And the newly opened 'Yushan Tavern' and Yu Niang, of course Cao Hong also knows that the other party has an officer background.
For this kind of official family, they can also not provoke and try not to provoke.
But he was surprised that such a woman with an official and military background would pour wine for a character like Su Qin.
However, he soon thought of Su Qin's other identity...... Scholar!
"I don't care who he is, since it involves the cause of death of my gang member, then you have to check it out for me!"
Cao Hong's expression was gloomy and he glanced at Wan Huaichang.
Wan Huaichang and a few catchers instantly bowed their heads, because of the background of the Yushan Tavern, they really didn't dare to provoke easily.
"Let's go, go to Yuyang Tavern!"
Wan Huaichang took the lead, and Wan Huaichang and others hurriedly followed.
……
Yuyang Tavern.
When Cao Hong appeared outside the house with a group of people and walked towards this side, the lively and roaring crowd inside and outside the tavern instantly became silent.
"Gang Master Cao, don't come unharmed."
Yu Niang walked out of the tavern, but there was no panic on her face.
Cao Hong's face was expressionless, and he spoke directly, "Liu Yishou was killed last night...... And before that, he was drunk in your tavern. ”
"Gang Master Cao, I am also very sad about Steward Liu...... But I don't know how many people get drunk in my tavern every day, do I have to make sure that everyone is safe when they get home? ”
Yu Niang pointed to the two Flying Fish Gang members behind Cao Hong, "Moreover, it was the two of them who carried Steward Liu back last night...... Something happened, the Cao gang leader should be asking them, right? ”
Cao Hong frowned, a little displeased.
Wan Huaichang suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Yu Niang, we are here to find Su Qin, who drank with Liu Yishou last night, he seems to have slept in your tavern last night, right?" We, the Cao Gang, are going to see him. ”
"I'm afraid it won't work."
Yu Niang saw Cao Hong's eyes narrow, and her face became gloomy.
She immediately knew that she might not be able to avoid this matter, so she waved her hand and explained:
"Su Qin drank a lot last night, and he hasn't woken up yet...... If you have to go and see, come. ”
……
Tuk tuk!
Yu Niang led a group of people to the room on the second floor, knocked on the door,
"Come in ......"
A somewhat weak voice came from inside the room.
As soon as everyone pushed the door open and entered, a strong smell of alcohol and the sour smell of vomit came to their nostrils, and everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses.
"Jade Lady...... Elder Wan, why are you here...... This is...... What's wrong?"
I saw Su Qin straighten up from the bed with a slightly pale face, and watched a group of people come in, his face full of doubt.
There was a spittoon at the bottom of his bed, and the stench was coming from it.
"I told you to drink less last night and didn't listen...... Spit like this...... Now it's okay, Steward Liu went back after drinking last night, and he was assassinated at home,"
Yu Niang hurriedly walked up and covered the spittoon with a hand toge.
"What? Brother Su...... How so? ”
Su Qin's face showed disbelief, and then he patted his chest with remorse, "Blame me!" I had to get drunk last night...... It's my fault for hurting Brother Liu! ”
This sad appearance made Wan Huaichang and the others not know how to speak for a while.
However, when he saw that Cao Hong was always expressionless, Wan Huaichang could only step forward and ask:
"Su Qin, why did you come to Yushan Tavern with Steward Liu to drink last night? Why don't you get drunk and don't go home? ”
Su Qin eased his grief for a moment before he sighed and said, "Yesterday I ...... Brother Liu said that there is a newly opened tavern with a beautiful lady...... I didn't expect it to be Yu Niang...... Maybe it's because Yu Niang personally poured wine for us, and the two of us are also very drunk, so we have to get drunk and don't return......"
After listening to Su Qin's description, the room was silent for a while, and no one spoke.
"So, Liu Yishou took the initiative to invite you to come to Yushan Tavern for a drink?"
Cao Hong finally spoke at this time.
"This is the deputy leader of the Flying Fish Gang, Cao Hong." Yu Niang reminded softly.
In fact, Su Qin had already noticed him and guessed Cao Hong's identity.
Cao Hong stood with his head held high, his eyes like an eagle, looking at Su Qin, giving him a sense of oppression.
"Yes, Gang Master Cao." Su Qin nodded firmly, "Yesterday, there were quite a few members of the Flying Fish Gang who heard my conversation with Brother Liu, you can go and ask." ”
Immediately, a gang member came up and whispered to Cao Hong,
After hearing this, Cao Hong turned around and left.
"You two, it's really a bother!"
Wan Huaichang clenched his fists and said, and hurriedly turned around to follow.
Soon, only Su Qin and Yu Niang were left in the room.
