Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 034 Pulling goods boy.

Not long after, the woman came out of the morgue weeping, knelt down to Bao Zheng, and said: "I beg the master to avenge my husband, we must find the murderer!"

In this way, it was determined that the woman was Mrs. Dong and the deceased was Dong Cheng.

Bao Zheng nodded slightly, and did not mention the woman's adultery with other men. He just showed Fat San and Thin Si two people's baggage to Madam Dong and asked, "Is this your husband's property?"

Mrs. Dong only glanced at it, and immediately said: "Yes, this is indeed my husband's property. Four days ago, my husband said that he was going to buy a batch of rice from other places, so he went out with the money. It's going to be half a month, so when I first heard that my husband was killed, my family still didn't believe it, but...but after seeing the corpse, I found out that it was really my husband."

Seeing that Mrs. Dong admitted that the burden belonged to Dong Cheng, Bao Zheng nodded slightly. In this way, Fat San and Thin Si will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility.

Just judging from Mrs. Dong's words alone, Bao Zheng couldn't ask anything else. Dong Cheng went to do business and was murdered not long after he left the city. Now the only two suspects are Fat San and Shou Four, but to prove whether they are the murderers, we must wait for the yamen servants to investigate whether they are from Tianchang County who came a few days ago.

Seeing that Bao Zheng had nothing to ask, Hua Lang took a step forward and said, "Brother Bao, can I ask you a few questions?"

Bao Zheng was worried that he didn't know what to do, now that Hua Lang had something to ask, he was naturally happy, and quickly said: "Brother Hua, if you have any questions, you can just ask."

Hua Lang nodded, then looked at Mrs. Dong and asked: "Master Dong went to buy a batch of rice. I think there should be a carriage. I wonder if that is the case?"

When asked by Hua Lang, Mrs. Dong quickly nodded and said: "Yes, there is indeed a carriage, but my master thinks that his own carriage costs money, so every time he leaves the city, he rents his carriage at Ma Xiaoliu's house in the suburbs. use."

"How about renting?" Hwarang continued to ask.

Mrs. Dong was also unambiguous, and answered directly: "No time five taels of silver, but after deducting the horse's food and grass expenses, my master only gave Ma Xiao sixty-four taels of silver, and then my master went to buy the goods by himself."

"The horses are not always available. I think Master Dong must tell Ma Xiaoliu in advance every time he goes to buy goods?" Hua Lang looked at Madam Dong and continued to ask.

Madam Dong's eyes widened, and she nodded again and again: "That's right, it's like this every time, you are really amazing."

Hua Lang smiled lightly, this kind of compliment is really low-level, he thought for a while, and then said to Bao Zheng: "I think it is necessary for Brother Bao to send someone to Ma Xiaoliu's house and arrest him for questioning."

Bao Zheng nodded. He felt that what Hua Lang said was correct. If Dong Cheng would tell Ma Xiaoliu first every time he went to buy goods, then Ma Xiaoliu must know that Dong Cheng had a lot of money on him. If he wanted to get those Yinzi, for example, would attack Dong Cheng on the way.

It's just that although this is a clue, there is one thing that doesn't make sense, that is, Dong Cheng's money was not taken away by Ma Xiaoliu, but by Fat San and Thin Si, and why?

Could it be that Ma Xiaoliu was about to run away with the money, but suddenly found someone coming, he panicked for a moment, before he had time to get the money, he ran away, and the money ended up in the hands of Fat San and Shou Si?

In any case, it is necessary to interrogate Ma Xiaoliu.

When the two yamen servants went to the suburbs to arrest Ma Xiaoliu, the yamen servants who went to various inns to inquire about the news came back and reported: "We have already asked various inns, fat three and thin four have only rested in one inn, that is The inn where the Lord arrested them, and according to the owner of the inn, the two of them came to stay the night before."

After listening to the servant's words, Bao Zheng looked at Hua Lang and said, "It seems that the people who killed Dong Cheng were not Fat San and Thin Si."

Hua Lang nodded: "If they came from Tianchang County the night before yesterday, then they cannot be the murderers who killed Dong Cheng. In this way, this case will be a bit troublesome."

The case is troublesome, and everyone naturally understands what it means. The murderer killed Dong Cheng, but he didn't take more than 1000 taels of silver from Dong Cheng. Anyway, it doesn't make sense.

What is the murderer's purpose in killing people? Everyone is at a loss.

It will take some time to go outside the city to arrest the peddler Ma Xiaoliu, and during this time, Hua Lang carefully looked at Mrs. Dong. Being able to attract many men, thinking of what the yamen servant said just now, Hwarang decided to try it out.

After all, if the murderer didn't kill for money, then it must be for other things, such as Dong Cheng's very charming wife.

"Does Boss Dong often travel to buy goods?" Hua Lang looked at Mrs. Dong and asked calmly.

Madam Dong didn't think too much, and replied directly: "I always go once a month."

"Is it half a month each time?"

"It's about the same, every time it's about ten days."

Hwarang smiled lightly: "So, Madam Dong must be very lonely if she thinks she is at home alone!"

Suddenly hearing Hua Lang say this, Mrs. Dong's expression changed slightly, and she said angrily, "What do you mean by that?"

Hualang shrugged, looked at Mrs. Dong and said, "It doesn't mean anything else, it's just that when the elder brother of the county yamen went to call you, he found a man slipping out of your back door in disheveled clothes. I really want to know what kind of relationship you have with that man What's the relationship, and who is that man?"

After Hwarang said these words, Mrs. Dong became even more angry. She stared at Hwarang with big eyes, but she didn't say a word, as if she was going to die without answering.

Seeing Mrs. Dong like this, Hwarang was not angry, and still said in a very calm tone: "It seems that the man is undoubtedly the murderer. In order to stay with Mrs. Dong, I have to kill Dong Cheng as an obstacle, right?"

"You're talking nonsense, it's not like this at all, he...he can't kill people at all!" Mrs. Dong burst out in a moment of excitement.

Seeing Mrs. Dong say such words, Hua Lang smiled incredulously: "Oh, really, you don't even want to say who that man is, so how do you know that he is not a murderer? I think he is a murderer, including Brother, it shouldn't be difficult to send someone to find that man, right?"

At this time, the yamen servant hastily cupped his hands and said: "It's not difficult, I can clearly see the face of that man."

When the yamen servant said this, Mrs. Dong panicked. If she didn't say it and was found out by the people of the county yamen, would he have a reason?

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Dong suddenly said, "I say, I say everything."
