Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 148

"That's true! If the victim is too tall, he can only stab in with his hand. If the victim is short, he usually stabs him. This is more convenient and more conducive to stabbing the victim."

So Master Yang no longer entangled with this issue, but ordered someone to bring Master Liu's family immediately, and borrowed someone from Su Wenqing to search Master Liu's cabin by the way.

"The master said that there is no such thing as a Jiang bandit. Even if the Jiang bandit is on board, it will be useless for everyone to stay in the main hall, and they will be blamed. So he wants to go back to the cabin to rest."

A young woman sobbed uncontrollably. After wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she couldn't help sobbing.

Su Yizhao looked at the woman in front of me who I felt pity for, and immediately despised Mr. Liu in his heart.

Mr. Liu should have passed his forties, right?This woman looks like she is only a child, she is younger than his daughter, how can she do it?

This woman is the No. 12 concubine that Master Liu just took in, and it's only been a month.

"Why is your master sure there are no Jiang bandits?" Lord Yang snorted coldly.

"The master said that he traveled all over the world and had extraordinary experience. He knew at a glance that it was not the work of robbers. The robbers usually rob the ship late at night, in order to catch them by surprise. In order not to startle the snake, even if there is internal support, he dare not act rashly during the day. Why? Could it be possible to suddenly kill someone?"

When everyone heard it, they felt that it made sense.

"That's right! Anyway, we can't run away, wouldn't it be better to start later?" Someone suddenly realized.

Su Yizhao nodded. The reason why she didn't pay attention to Shopkeeper Zhou's handling of the Jiang bandits was because she thought it was unlikely that Jiang bandits did it.

Therefore, she has always locked the murderer as the people on board, including the boatmen and passengers.

"It turns out that Mr. Liu has such a great opinion, but why didn't he say it just now?" Someone questioned.

"The servant also asked him the same thing. The master said that he didn't want to cause trouble. It seems that this matter was premeditated. One more thing is worse than one less thing. He is a businessman, and if he gets into trouble, he can't get rid of it."

Su Yizhao was surprised that Mr. Liu looked like a nouveau riche on the outside, but he didn't expect to be so shrewd.

Right!If you are not smart, how can you be so rich?
Master Yang was also very surprised, but then he sighed again.

"He didn't want to cause trouble, but he just ruined his own life. It has nothing to do with him. It's still a bad thing to hang up! This is called cleverness being misunderstood by cleverness. If he didn't go back to the cabin, he would still be alive now. "

"He is going back to the cabin, do you have a companion?" Master Yang continued to ask.

"Yes! The master said that he didn't sleep well last night, so the servant girl accompanied the master to take a nap." The woman's expression became a little unnatural at this moment.

"After waking up, the master felt hungry and wanted to eat the crispy chicken made by the servant, so the servant went straight to the kitchen, intending to make it for the master to taste."

Everyone's expressions couldn't help becoming ambiguous, but this is not the time to care about these things.

The woman's words were verified by the master chef in the kitchen. She did cook crispy chicken.

Master Yang then asked everyone when Mr. Liu left, and after calculating, he said: "That means he was killed within half an hour, did you find out that he was killed when you returned to the room? "

"After the servant came back with the crispy chicken, as soon as he opened the door, he found the master lying on the ground."

The woman continued to sob, but she didn't know how sincere she was, or maybe she was worried that she would not be able to rely on her in the future.

"In this way, Liang's suspicion is the biggest. After all, we didn't know what happened before she entered the kitchen." Su Wenqing said suddenly.

"Indeed! There are only the two of you in the cabin, and no one can testify for you, so you can't get rid of your suspicion."

Master Yang looked at the woman's stature and found that she was about the same height as Master Liu, and immediately became suspicious of her.

The woman panicked when she heard this, "But the servant has been in the kitchen for more than a quarter of an hour, how could he kill him?"

Everyone heard the words and immediately made up their minds. It turned out that Mr. Liu only had less than a quarter of an hour.

"Kill him when he is not prepared. It only takes a few breaths, which is completely enough, and there is still room to clean up." Master Yang said with a cold face.

"But the slave didn't kill anyone, why did the slave kill the master? The master is dead, and the slave doesn't know how to live in the future."

Mrs. Liang shook her head, she was panicked at the moment.

"My lord, no other property was found in Mr. Liu's cabin." Shopkeeper Zhou came in to report at this moment.

"How much money did Master Liu bring this time?" Master Yang asked Mrs. Liang.

Without hesitation, Liang said: "Master said that he would come to negotiate a deal, but he didn't tell the servant in detail, but the servant has heard from him that it will not be less than 10,000 taels."

Everyone couldn't help gasping, so many?
"That is to say, so much money is missing? Even searching for it will take some time. The officer just saw that there was no trace of searching in Mr. Liu's room, which means that the murderer must know where he hid the property. place."

After such an analysis, Master Yang felt that Mrs. Liang was even more suspicious.

After being exposed to three murder cases at once, Mr. Yang gradually became familiar with the process of handling the cases, and his thinking became quicker.

Su Yizhao lowered her eyes in thought, she looked at Liang Shi who was already pale with fright, but she had another suspicion in her heart.

Mrs. Liang shook her head desperately, her face was pale with fright at this moment.

"My lord, how could the slaves kill the master? There is no reason!"

"It just so happened that because of a murder case on board, you planned this matter and wanted to push the case to the last murderer. When the time comes, take the bank note and fly away, no one will find you, and you don't have to do the work of serving people anymore Son, isn't it?" Master Yang said coldly.

"Impossible, the slave girl's contract of sale is still in the hands of the mistress, so where can she go with the money?" Liang said decisively.

"Oh! This servant remembered that the master's banknotes were stored in a box, a box made of huanghuali carved longevity peaches. At that time, the master opened it for the servant to take a look at, and the servant only saw a thick stack."

Liang shi suddenly remembered this and was very excited.

"He also said that it was safest to keep the silver bills by his side. Later, the slaves and the master rested, and the master slept inside holding the box. The murderer must have seen the box on the bed, and then killed the master and murdered him. .”

"Stop quibbling, as long as you have money in your hand, don't you still have to worry about finding a solution? When you saw the box in Mr. Liu's hand, you became greedy, so you killed him."

Lord Yang didn't listen to Mrs. Liang's words, so he asked Shopkeeper Zhou.

"Did you see a box of huanghuali?"

Shopkeeper Zhou shook his head, "No!"

The chrysanthemum pear box is also a valuable thing, and they will definitely pay attention to it.

Master Yang frowned, and found two female passengers on the ship to search Mrs. Liang, and ordered someone to search Master Liu's cabin again.
