Chapter 19: Money
"I didn't ...... No? "Under the boudoir, Ah Sheng, who is stuttering, is being questioned by Xu Zhen, "Miss...... Right...... It was good for us. ”
Xu Zhen glanced at him and saw that he was talking too hard, so he went straight to the point and asked, "What's the matter with Mei'er?" ”
"This ...... Oh......" Hearing the name "Mei'er", Ah Sheng's eyes showed obvious pity, he was afraid that Xu Zhen would see it, so he hurriedly lowered his head.
"Who cut off her ears?"
"This ...... Oh...... "Ah Sheng is still stubborn."
"Ah Sheng, I can swear to you," Xu Zhen raised his hand, "What you say to me now, I won't tell the second person!" ”
"...... Already...... Already...... Over, over, over, ......"
Ah Sheng means: The murderer has been found, what's the use of asking these things?
"No, it works!" Xu Zhen said loudly, "Don't think it's okay if you catch the murderer, Master Wei's daughter was killed by you subordinates, do you think he will spare you when he turns around?" ”
"Huh?" Ah Sheng grinned, he hadn't thought about this before.
Yes, according to Wei Yulang's character, although the murderer is Sang Er, he will definitely not spare other subordinates.
"Now, I can only save you if you tell me the truth, you know?"
"This ...... Oh......" Although Ah Sheng stuttered, his brain was not too stupid, and after thinking about the stakes, he turned his heart on the other side and said resolutely, "Okay, since you can't run anyway, what are you doing...... Dry, dry ......"
"Let's just say it!" Xu Zhen couldn't wait for him to finish speaking, so he hurriedly urged.
"Mei'er, yes, it's because I overheard the third lady talking that I ......"
Ah Sheng told Xu Zhen that this third lady has a violent temper and is moody, and as long as she is in a bad mood, she will take people out of anger. Almost all the maids and servants in the house have been severely beaten by her.
In recent years, the third lady has become more and more serious, cutting her ears, pouring water, pulling teeth, swallowing hair and other bad behaviors have occurred repeatedly, making the servants in the house worry every day.
It can be said that in this Wei Mansion, Sang'er is not the only one who hopes that the third lady will not die well!
"Then ......," Xu Zhen asked again, "what is the relationship between this third lady and Mrs. Wei?" ”
Ah Sheng told Xu Zhen that because of the third lady's temper, it was naturally impossible for her and Mrs. Wei to get along peacefully, but fortunately, Mrs. Wei tolerated everywhere and never had a head-on conflict with the third miss.
After all, Mrs. Wei is protected by the master, and the third lady doesn't dare to be too much to her, and she can generally pass.
Ah Sheng also said that although this Mrs. Wei was born in a foreign aristocracy, she had a gentle temperament and never punished her subordinates for no reason, and was deeply supported by the servants.
Next, Ah Sheng told some things about Sang'er, saying that he also knew about Sang'er's family, and if he didn't repay the debt he owed to Wansheng Gambling House, he was afraid that his family would be ruined......
After hearing this, Xu Zhen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't expect Miss Wei to be such a vicious person.
However, after questioning Ah Sheng, he already had a basic judgment on the facts of the case.
It seems that the case is not as simple as it seems!
Next, in order to be sure, Xu Zhen found the maids, family members, and nurses in the house and questioned them respectively.
After asking all the questions, he completely confirmed his judgment, behind Sang'er, there is indeed - the mastermind behind the scenes!
……
An hour later, Xu Zhen returned to the garden.
But seeing that the two adults were still anxiously pacing back and forth under the gazebo, it was obvious that they had long lost their patience.
There is no way, this is Wei Yulang's home, as long as Xu Zhen doesn't close the team, it will be difficult for them to walk away.
Xu Zhen didn't want to talk to the two of them, so he took a detour to the side house where Sang'er was placed.
As soon as he approached, he was stopped by the guards at the door.
Fortunately, Wei Yulang in the house heard Xu Zhen's voice, so he opened the door and let Xu Zhen enter the room.
The windows had long since been blocked, and the house was dark.
Seeing Lang Zhong squatting in the corner with a bewildered expression, Xu Zhen already knew that Sang'er, who had taken poison, had already died.
When I looked inside, I saw the corpse of a woman on the bed.
"How?" Wei Yulang hurriedly asked, "What did you find?" What did you mean......"
"Shhh......hh
Wei Yulang understood in seconds, and hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Okay, you all go down!" Remember what I said, the slave is not dead, he has been rescued! ”
"Yes!" Lang Zhong and several of his subordinates agreed and hurriedly exited the room.
"Wei Sicheng," after the people left, Xu Zhen asked Wei Yulang, "Did anyone deliberately approach this room just now?" ”
Wei Yulang shook his head: "No, I let them pay attention, but no one tried to get close here." Hurry up, say quickly, is this cheap slave still an accomplice? ”
"It's not an accomplice, it's ......" Xu Zhen looked at Wei Yulang and said solemnly, "There is another real murderer!" ”
"What!?" Wei Yulang was shocked, "How is it possible?" This cheap slave has obviously confessed......"
Before Wei Yulang finished speaking, he saw Xu Zhen's raised arm, so he had to silence again.
"Wei Sicheng," Xu Zhen paused for two seconds and said, "I have seen Miss Wei's wounds, and she was stabbed three times in the chest, and the three stabs happened to be triangular!" ”
"Triangles?" Wei Yulang frowned, not knowing why.
"A fatal knife, a knife to the heart!" Xu Zhen pointed to his heart and said, "One blow is fatal, and the technique is professional, but the remaining two knives are obviously deliberately made up after the killing." ”
"This ......" Wei Yulang seemed to understand something, but he couldn't fully understand it.
"So," Xu Zhen said, "it was definitely not Sang'er who killed Miss Wei!" ”
"Huh?" Wei Yulang's little understanding was instantly dispersed, and he hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”
"I have already asked the nursing home just now, and there are all people on duty in front and on the side of the boudoir," Xu Zhen explained, "If the scene of the crime is really as Sang Er said, then when Sang Er committed the murder, Miss Wei only needs to scream, and she will definitely attract the attention of the nursing home!" ”
"Huh?" Wei Yulang was surprised, he didn't expect this at all.
"From the point of view of the wound," Xu Zhen said, "Miss Wei was assassinated in a standing position.
"The murderer must have deliberately committed murder, blocking Miss Wei's mouth and nose with one hand and stabbing Miss Wei's heart with the other!
"Therefore, the height of the murderer cannot at least be shorter than Miss Wei, and Sang'er's height ...... Tsk......"
Seeing Xu Zhen shaking his head, Wei Yulang's cheeks were already sweating, and he hurriedly asked, "If it's not Sang'er, who else can it be!?"
"Huh? Isn't that right? He came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "If it's not Sang'er, then why should Sang'er admit it?" ”
"Wei Sicheng," Xu Zhen prompted, "The poison that Sang Er took was already in attack in just a dozen seconds, such a strong poison is not something that ordinary people can buy!" ”
"Huh? Yes......" Wei Yulang opened his mouth wide, no wonder he felt something was wrong before!
"Wait...... What do you mean by that? The ...... It's being instructed, oh no, it's taking the blame for others, why? ”
"Because," Xu Zhen said, "Sang'er is trading her life for the safety of her family!" ”
"Huh? This...... This and this ......" Wei Yulang thought for a moment and finally understood, "You mean...... Someone is using San'er's family to threaten her? Let her take the blame, but her family has ...... Already ......"
"What if...... Not a threat, but a rescue? Xu Zhen guided.
"Huh?" Wei Yulang realized again, "You mean that someone promised her that as long as she confessed, she would help her family forgive her debts?" Give their family a sum of money? Be...... Who is it?
"Wait...... Wait a ......" Suddenly, he finally thought of the key point, "The real murderer is about the same height as Yingying, can provide her with valuable poison, and can help the slave's family to relieve debts, then...... This person has to be rich to do it, and to be rich...... Rich ......"
"Wei Sicheng," Xu Zhen added, "I noticed that before Sang Er decided to take the poison, she looked at you with decisive eyes, but now it seems that she didn't look at you at that time!" ”
