Chapter 41 The Case of the Younger Brother and the Big Brother Woman
The two main combat forces were subdued by Hua Yiming in an instant, and all the people who caught the fast gathering did not dare to step forward to make a move, so they could only look at each other.
In the end, it was an old catcher, Ma Long saw at a glance that Hua Yiming had no intention of hurting people, and immediately beckoned everyone to surround him. The latter, with his flexible pace and swift moves in his hands, stunned six or seven catchers in three or five strokes. During the battle, Hua Yiming peeked at Ren Xiao and Mu Ziyi about to break free, so he shook off everyone and said, "You two dare to trick my boy, I remember, if your heads are also valuable in the future, remember to watch out for me at all times!"
After saying that, he jumped on the roof and disappeared. Ren Xiao broke free of the black chain and held it in his hand, and Mu Ziyi also struggled out of the net, saying, "We don't seem to be his opponents!"
Ren Xiao didn't pay attention to him, leaving only Ma Long and a group of fast catchers with disdainful eyes.
I thought this was the end of the matter, but who knew that it would involve even more trouble.
"I said, why don't you leave!"
A group of catchers gathered around a big table to eat, but one of them was particularly conspicuous, Mu Ziyi was lying on the table and gobbling up, sweeping the food on the table like a whirlwind, the bean sprouts' open mouth forgot to eat, and the other catchers were also dumbfounded.
Seeing that there was the last plate of vegetables left on the table, Mu Ziyi's eyes were like torches, and he was about to start, Ma Long took the plate first, and looked at Mu Ziyi viciously, and said, "Hey! I said what happened to you, that Hua Yiming has already run away, but you are still here with us and not leaving." β
Mu Ziyi sighed and said, "Your food is so good, I decided not to leave, I want to join you!"
After speaking, he came to snatch the plate in Ma Long's hand, and Ma Long scolded: "Just like you, we don't want it, you ate all of our dishes in one meal, what do you let us eat?"
Mu Ziyi said pitifully: "Brother Ma, my master and I eat boiled cabbage every day, I have never eaten such delicious food, you just let me join you!"
Ma Long wanted to continue to say something, but was interrupted by Ren Xiao's laughter: "Haha, let him join us! β
Ma Long opened his eyes and said: "Boss, with his way of eating, it is not enough for him to eat after deducting his salary, and he will eat the poor." β
Ren Xiao said: "It's okay, you can let him go and help Master Fang run errands when he is fine, and earn some extra money to subsidize it." β
Ma Long shook his head and said, "Boss, you are just too kind, and with his IQ, he has completely lowered the average of our fast catches." Think about it again!"
Ren Xiao smiled and said to Mu Ziyi: "You can join us, but you must do what I just said, otherwise you will be driven away at any time." Mu Ziyi's head was like pounding garlic, and he said, "Okay, okay, no problem." β
Ren Xiao looked at the plate in Ma Long's hand and added, "Also, you can't eat any more today, so I'd better keep some for my brothers." β
Mu Ziyi licked his lips and said, "Okay! Anyway, it's almost sixty percent full. β
Ma Long put down the plate and said, "You kid listen to me, you will follow me from now on, you will do whatever I ask you to do, do you hear?"
Mu Ziyi said that he understood, but his eyes were still staring intently at the last plate of green vegetables.
Bean Sprouts looked at the three people who spoke, tremblingly picked up a little green vegetables, and ate them slowly.
After the meal, Ren Xiao picked up the black knife and prepared to go to the woods outside the city to cultivate, when at this moment, a middle-aged man broke into the yamen in a panic. Ma Long immediately stepped forward to greet the fellow and said, "Uncle, don't panic, tell me slowly what happened." β
The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's dead!"
......
In an abandoned house, a disheveled woman on the bed was already in smoke, and at the door of the house, a headless corpse was lying there.
After Ma Long investigated, he said to Ren Xiao: "Boss, the woman on the bed has deep marks on her neck, the deceased's eyes are protruding, and her mouth is wide open, obviously she was strangled to death. The corpse at the door had slight scratches on its body, but there were no fatal injuries or heavy blows, and judging from the incision in the neck, it should have been cut off with a knife. β
Ren Xiao held his chin in one hand and asked, "Do you know who the deceased is?"
Ma Long said: "The woman who died was the widow of the king, who lived near here, and her husband died of illness three years ago, and he had no children under his knees. The headless corpse has not been identified at this time, pending further investigation. β
The fledgling Mu Ziyi walked around the room, stood in the corner, and beckoned Ren Xiao to say, "Hey, come and take a look!"
Ma Long gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "What do you call it? β
Ren Xiao waved his hand, signaling Ma Long not to care about these details. Then he walked to Mu Ziyi's side, pointed to an inconspicuous hole in the wall, and said, "Look, the size of this hole, do you remember something?"
Ren Xiao carefully observed the entrance of the cave, just behind the headless corpse, and the height was also the position of the deceased's neck, and according to the shape of the hole, it was obvious that it had been vigorously penetrated. After thinking about it seriously, he hurriedly took off Hua Yiming's chain from his waist, and then took it to the hole and compared, it was just right. Ren Xiao's back was cold, and he hurriedly said, "Clean up the body and bring it back to the yamen!"
Back at the yamen, Ren Xiao found the head that Hua Yiming had sent before, opened it and saw that there was indeed a hole in his neck. Mu Ziyi's legs trembled, and he said, "The cause of this person's death has something to do with us!"
Ma Long was also worried and said, "It can't be such a coincidence!" Just when everyone was at a loss, a group of people came from outside the yamen. The leader was a gentleman, who walked in with a thief's eyebrows. Ren Xiao was about to step forward, but Ma Long reminded: "Boss, this is Liu Changjin, the son of Liu Yuanwai in the city, who has nothing to do all day long, so he is just causing trouble, it seems that this matter should have something to do with him." β
Ren Xiao nodded, stepped forward and said, "I don't know what Gongzi Liu is doing here?"
Liu Changjin shook his head, held a folding fan in his hand, and said, "You are Ren Xiao! I heard early this morning that my fiancΓ©e was killed, so I came here to find out what happened?"
Ren Xiao smiled in response and said, "Liu Gongzi is mistaken! The deceased today is a widow, how can it be your fiancΓ©e?"
Liu Changjin patted the folding fan and said, "Yes, it is the widow Wang, she is my fiancΓ©e!"
Ren Xiao's face was full of disdain, and Liu Changjin explained: "Ren Zhutou doesn't know, since the death of Wang's previous husband, I fell in love with her at first sight, how could she keep filial piety for her husband, so I had to put the marriage of the two of us on hold, until some time ago, when her filial piety expired, the two of us agreed on the marriage date, who knew that at this time, she was killed by a traitor." You must do justice to the villain!"
Ren Xiao said thoughtfully: "I also just received a report, and the details of the case are still under investigation, Liu Gongzi, please rest assured, if we have a situation, we will definitely tell you as soon as possible." β
Liu Changjin touched a handful of tears and said sadly: "That villain is here to thank the head catcher first." β
After speaking, he led a group of thugs away.
Ren Xiao sighed as he looked at their distant backs. Ma Long said: "Boss, I think there must be something strange about this matter. β
Ren Xiao said: "Immediately send someone to investigate the background of this Liu Changjin, and immediately find out who this person Hua Yiming killed by mistake!"
The crowd quickly went their own way, and Ren Xiao and Dou Sprouts went to the scene of the crime again. Ren Xiao looked at the messy appearance on the bed, thinking about the state of Wang's death, and said: "Before the crime, someone should have wanted to insult Wang, and Wang tried his best to resist, so the murderer strangled Wang with a rope! β
Speaking of this, Ren Xiao suddenly remembered and asked Bean Sprouts: "Did you find the murderer's tools at the scene?"
Bean Sprouts was stunned for a moment and asked, "What crime tool?" Ren Xiao hurriedly said: "It's something that strangled the Wang family!"
Bean Sprouts recalled for a moment and said, "At that time, there was nothing superfluous at the scene, let alone anything like rope." β
Ren Xiao hurriedly searched around seriously, but found nothing.
Ren Xiao reasoned: "In this way, someone has taken away the tools of the crime? But who is this person? Hua Yiming?"
Ren Xiao and the bean sprouts returned to the yamen, and at this time, the catcher came back and said to Ren Xiao: "Boss, my subordinates have already inquired, the man who died is called Zhang Moyuan, and he is also a gangster, the interesting thing is that this person has been following Liu Changjin before." β
Ren Xiao frowned and said, "This is strange, how did his Liu Changjin's subordinates get involved with his quasi-sister-in-law?"
Bean Sprouts said: "Then does Liu Changjin know about this?"
Zhu Kuai said: "This subordinate doesn't know, but some people said that a few days ago, they saw Zhang Moyuan following Liu Changjin in and out of the brothel." β
Ren Xiao held his chin and said, "Let's wait for Ma Long to come back first!
In the evening, Ma Long came back with Mu Ziyi, and Ma Long said: "I inquired for a long time today, and I found out that this Wang's husband was very strange when he died, and he died suddenly. The next day, someone saw Liu Changjin entering and leaving Wang's house. The subordinates speculated that the death of Wang's husband three years ago was most likely framed by the two of them. β
Mu Ziyi retorted: "It doesn't make sense! Since it was the two of them who framed it, it means that the Wang family and Liu Changjin have already had a leg, why do they have to wait until three years later to get married?"
Ren Xiao nodded, agreed, and said to Ma Long: "How much do you know about this Zhang Mole Yuan?"
Ma Long said: "This person was a gangster in the ancient city a long time ago, often doing some stealing and robbing, and also did several big prisons, and was later accepted by this Liu Changjin as a younger brother, and it was this Liu Changjin who saved Zhang Moyuan from a lot of prison." β
Mu Ziyi shook his head and said, "Tut-tut, the little brother stole the eldest brother's woman, this story is getting more and more interesting!" Ma Long slapped him on the back of the head with a backhand and said, "You kid will handle the case for me well, not for you to listen to the story!"
