Chapter 7 of the Silver Ticket Volume 7 Forced Suicide
Wei Zhouli's wife looked gloomy, dismissed all the subordinates, and scattered relatives and friends, and then took Su Zhuo and the three of them to the study. Su Zhuo, www.biquge.info pen and fun pavilion, followed behind, and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy walking from a distance, dressed in linen and wearing filial piety, saluted Mrs. Wei, and said, "Mother, there is still a word left to finish today, so I will write it." β
Mrs. Wei nodded and said softly, "Don't be sloppy, I'll check when I go back." β
Su Zhuo saw this situation behind him, and whispered to Qin Lei: "The ancients said that self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world. Only when a person cultivates himself first can his family be stable, and vice versa. In the house of goodness, there will be afterglow. Qin Zhutou, it seems that your opinion of Wei Zhouli is biased!"
Qin Lei snorted, knowing in his heart that he had guessed wrong, and refused to admit it. Mrs. Wei finished explaining her son's homework and walked quickly to the study. Su Zhuo and the three of them only said a few words, and they had already fallen a distance. The three of them hurriedly followed and came to the study.
Mrs. Wei opened the door and said, "This study has not been touched since the accident of her late husband, what do you want to see, just go in and see." β
Qin Lei entered the house first, but Su Zhuo asked, "Mrs. Wei, forgive me for being rude, can you ask." It was only a day after the death of Ling Fu, why was he hastily buried in the ground?"
Mrs. Wei sighed and said, "It's not a secret, my husband didn't pay attention to these things when he was alive. He told me earlier that if he died, he would simply be buried as soon as possible. β
Su Zhuo let out an "oh" and said to himself: "Shopkeeper Wei is also a good person. But when he said this, how did he seem to know that he was going to die?"
Mrs. Wei remembered her deceased husband's voice and smile in the past, her face smiled, but her eyes were filled with tears, and she said, "Yes, every time he talks about this kind of thing, I can't help but get angry. You say that you are a good person, why do you always say these unlucky things?"
Su Zhuo nodded, frowned, and asked, "On the night of the accident, why didn't you find out that Shopkeeper Wei committed suicide?
Mrs. Wei wiped her tears and said, "My husband often settled accounts in the study alone, and he was busy until midnight. And I took my son with me, and I had already fallen asleep, so I didn't know he was actually ......."
Su Zhuo nodded and stepped into the house. Mrs. Wei followed last, and heard Qin Lei ask, "Madam, has this room really not touched at all?"
Mrs. Wei nodded and said, "I have been busy with the funeral for the past two days, and my subordinates have not even had time to clean it." β
Su Zhuo glanced left and right, the study was not big, and he could see it all at a glance. In the corner of the wall is a row of bookshelves full of books. On the top floor, there are several flasks and a wine glass. In front of the window is a table with a chair on each side. However, the chair in the main seat has been moved to the center beam of the room, which was moved by Wei Zhouli when he hanged himself, and has not been put back yet. There was also an account book spread out on the table, and a brush was placed next to it. The ink in the inkstone has dried, and the brush has solidified and dried up, and it has not had time to clean.
He looked at the account book on the table and said, "It has not been touched here. The pen and ink on the table had not been cleaned, and the account book was left untouched. I don't think even the Jiangning Mansion Yacha who came to investigate has touched the things in this room. β
Qin Lei was puzzled: "How can you see it?"
Su Zhuo said: "The last verification record date of this account book is the day when the shopkeeper Wei committed suicide. In fact, this should have been an important piece of physical evidence, and anyone who handled the case would definitely notice it. But it was just placed here, which means that the yacha didn't come in to inspect it carefully, so naturally it wouldn't touch anything here. β
Li Hong, who was standing in the corner, suddenly asked, "This account book is very important physical evidence, why haven't I seen it?"
Su Zhuo chuckled and said, "Who of you has ever seen a person who is preparing to commit suicide and still carefully do the accounts of the day before he dies?"
Mrs. Wei was taken aback and said, "What does this gentleman mean is that the first husband did not commit suicide?"
Li Hongdao: "But I look at the case file sent by Jiangning Mansion, which states that the test was made, and it is indeed a symptom of suicide!"
Su Zhuo nodded and said, "Of course I have also seen that examination, and it is indeed a case of suicide." Now that the shopkeeper Wei has been buried in the ground, he can no longer inspect it. However, even if he really committed suicide, I don't believe that Shopkeeper Wei really has the heart to seek death!"
Qin Lei was confused and asked, "How do you say this?"
Su Zhuo pointed to the books on the bookshelf and said, "Ordinary people, if they want to put some books as a faΓ§ade, they must be classified and placed according to the subset of scriptures and history, and they are neatly and neatly. The books on this shelf are out of order and placed at hand. This shows that the shopkeeper Wei usually takes books and reads them, and hundreds of books are eclectic. In the corner of this table is a book of Xiaolin travelogues printed in the previous dynasty. It's a very interesting little book, very interesting. Do you say that a person who reads books a lot, and still has such interesting books, suddenly wants to kill himself?"
Qin Lei also heard the strange thing, and said: "Brother Su, according to what you said, this Wei Zhouli has no possibility of committing suicide and seeking death? Then why did he hang himself? Could it be that the gang of officials in Jiangning Mansion were cheating, and Wei Zhouli was killed by someone and hung on the beam?"
Su Zhuo shook his head and said, "There is a big difference between hanging yourself and hanging yourself after being killed, and the difference is obvious. As long as you are a little experienced, you can see it at a glance. I don't think Jiangning Mansion's pretentiousness dares to cheat on this. I think it's very likely that Shopkeeper Wei hanged himself!"
Qin Lei was already a little confused, and asked: "You said one moment that Wei Zhouli was not a person who would seek death, and then said that he was very likely to hang himself." What does that mean exactly?"
Su Zhuo sighed and said, "This is easy to explain. Suicide was not the intention of the shopkeeper Wei, but was persecuted!"
"Persecuted?" the other three in the room were taken aback. Qin Lei asked, "Who will force Wei Zhouli to commit suicide?"
Su Zhuo nodded, patted the guest chair next to the table with both hands, and said, "Then it depends on who is sitting on this chair!"
Qin Lei raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"
Su Zhuo said: "Look at the chair in the middle, it is the shopkeeper Wei who sits on himself. And if you look at this guest seat, it's obviously closer to the roof beam. Why didn't Shopkeeper Wei move this chair, but went around the table and moved his own seat?"
Qin Lei gasped and said in a deep voice: "Because at that time, there was only one person sitting on this chair!"
"That's right!" Su Zhuo frowned and said loudly, "This person was in the room at the time, and I saw the shopkeeper Wei hanging a beam in the room. And it is very likely that this person forced the shopkeeper Wei to commit suicide!"
Mrs. Wei's legs suddenly weakened, and she almost fell, holding on to the table with both hands, before she could stand firmly. She looked sad, tears welling up in her eyes. Su Zhuo wondered, "Did Madam think of something?"
Mrs. Wei shook her head blankly, and muttered, "No, no ......"
Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "It seems that there is another mystery in this case! Who came to this room that night?"
Mrs. Wei still shook her head and said, "No, no one has ever been here......
Su Zhuo pondered silently, and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that the only way to lure the snake out of the hole is to lead it out!"
(When this volume was written, I had been traveling on business and running around every day, which led to a long delay.) Some chapters were even interrupted for a day or two to complete. There may be big flaws in the story, and I am not satisfied, and I am sorry for the readers who supported me. Of course, this is not an excuse, and I will try to make up for it. Now in chapter 20, I have done my best to complete the story. In the future, I will do my best!Finally, I'm sorry, and thank you for your support!) )
