Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 10 The Cave Under the Bed

By the time Xiaohuan washed and dressed the two of them, it was almost noon.

"Young Master Yang came to invite you just now. He said that Mr. Wang brought four yamen servants here. Please Young Master."

"understood."

Seeing that Shen Yuzhen hadn't finished combing, Hu Qian sat aside and watched.

Shen Yuzhen said: "Since Mr. Xiang is in a hurry, let's go first."

Hu Qian said: "No hurry, I will go there with my wife."

Shen Yuzhen lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, her heart filled with joy.

When the two arrived, the Yang and Shen families and Wang Enze were already waiting in the hall.

"Master."

Wang Enze and the four yamen servants immediately stepped forward and saluted.

Unlike the Yang and Shen families who are more or less related, Hu Qian and Wang Enze can generally be regarded as an employment relationship.

Coupled with Hu Qian's amazing performance in the Hongshuihe case, Wang Enze became even more respectful.

Hu Qian nodded, "Sir, do you understand the case?"

Wang Enze said: "I have heard from Master Yang, especially the young master who found Yang Shiying's body yesterday only through questioning. I really admire you."

"Sir, you're being polite. I don't know what Mr. thinks this is all about?"

Wang Enze said: "Since the young master asked, let me talk about it."

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Judging from the wounds of the deceased, he must have been killed, but how did the murderer do it.

In my opinion, the murderer's methods are astonishing and the layout is ingenious, if the young master hadn't seen through the mystery, the lower class would never be able to solve this mystery. "

Everyone in the hall nodded silently, waiting for him to solve the riddle.

"In my opinion, this was a premeditated murder.

First of all, the murderer knew that Yang Shiying was addicted to alcohol, so he found a fortune teller and deliberately waited at the gate of Juxian Building. When he saw Yang Shiying, he took advantage of his drunkenness and uttered wild words that he would die when he was young.

After that, he first went to Yang Shiying's house to hide.

While Yang Shiying and Qiaoniang were drinking, he lit the incense in the dark and let them go.

Tweety said that was the reason why she was so sleepy that night.

Qiaoniang was not as strong as Yang Shiying, so she fell asleep on the table first, and soon Yang Shiying also fell asleep.

At this time, the murderer came out and strangled the sleeping Yang Shiying to death with a rope, hid the body in the room, then changed into his clothes, deliberately screamed strangely to attract attention, and ran out to throw himself into the river.

Said to throw himself into the river, but actually swam away quietly.

While the Yang family was searching by the river, he sneaked back again, transported the corpse to the weed forest, and threw the corpse into the dry well. "

Everyone's eyes widened when they heard it, and after careful thought, it seemed that this was the case.

Wang Enze continued: "In this way, everyone will think that Yang Shiying was counted dead by a fortune teller. He threw himself into the river, and his body was washed away by the river. If there is no proof of his death, they will not suspect that he was murdered.

As for the fortune teller, most of them were murdered by him. "

Shen Sanshi said: "Mister is really amazing, in this way, many doubts can be explained."

Wang Enze hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Actually, the young master has thought of this a long time ago, I just helped him express it."

Hu Qian said: "In that case, have you ever guessed the murderer's identity?"

Wang Enze said: "The murderer is familiar with the temperament and habits of the deceased, and he can enter and leave the Yang family without suspicion. Presumably he must be a member of the Yang family."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Yang Dakai, Yang Huicai, Yang Chengzhi and Yang Chengxin.

Yang Dakai said: "Sir, what are you talking about? How could we kill the third brother!"

Wang Enze ignored him, but continued: "Last night when the young master went to look for the body of the deceased, Yang Chengzhi behaved strangely and wanted to go down the well to look for the body first.

Maybe there might be some clues on the body, he was afraid that others would see it, so he went down and disposed of it immediately. "

Yang Chengzhi immediately blushed, "It's just nonsense, I respect my third uncle as a person, and I have never had any grudges, how could I do such a rebellious thing!"

Wang Enze said: "Yang Shiying has no heirs. If he dies, who will his family's hundred acres of fertile land and the real estate in the town belong to?"

Everyone's face was stunned, and they were all silent.

Yang Chengzhi wanted to say more, but Hu Qian waved his hand and said, "Okay, this is just my husband's guess. If there is no real evidence, it will not be accurate."

Wang Enze said: "What the young master said is true."

In fact, Hu Qian knew that if he hadn't been here, maybe Wang Enze would have arrested Yang Chengzhi and put him in jail.

In such an era, there are not a few people who are tortured into tricks.

Hu Qian said: "Besides this guess, I have another guess here.

That is, Qiao Niang colluded with the accomplices in advance, ordered the accomplices to hide under the bed, first strangled Uncle Shiying to death, and then let the accomplices pretend to be Uncle Shiying and run away. "

Wang Enze said: "The young master is thoughtful, I admire you."

Hu Qian looked at Tweety and said, "Tweety, did you smell anything special that night?"

Tweety shook her head, "Except for the smell of wine, I don't smell anything."

Hu Qian continued: "If the murderer used mist in the room and Qiaoniang was stunned, how could he wake up immediately when Uncle Shiying rushed out?

Of course, if she just pretended to be sleepy lying on the table, that would be another story. "

Qiao Niang said: "You are talking nonsense! I have done this kind of thing with Ben! If not, there will be thunder and bangs!"

Hu Qian was still waiting to say more, but the reminder in his mind suddenly changed.

【Who left behind the blue silk】

Hu Qian took out the blue silk and said: "Qiao Niang, please take a look, does this blue silk belong to your husband and wife?"

Qiao Niang looked carefully and frowned, "This is not from my house."

Yang Chengxin stepped forward to have a look, touched it again and said, "This one looks familiar."

Yang Chengzhi also stepped forward to touch it, wondering: "Is this fox fur?"

"You mean, the green-haired fox that Uncle San beat before?"

Hu Qian's heart skipped a beat, "Where is it?"

Qiao Niang said: "Master said the fox fur is very warm, so he put it on the bed."

Without saying a word, Hu Qian immediately ran to Yang Shiying's room, and everyone in the hall quickly followed.

However, when the quilt was lifted, there was nothing on the bed.

Qiao Niang said: "It's clearly placed here."

Hu Qian thought for a while, and said, "Come here, see if there is any secret channel mechanism under the bed."

A yamen servant immediately leaned over to look for it.

After a while, he was pleasantly surprised: "Master, there is really a hole under here!"

"Move the bed!"

A group of servants and yamen servants immediately carried the bed to the other side.

When they saw the hole, everyone was shocked.

The entrance of the cave is very round, only one person can enter, and the bottom is dark, and nothing can be seen.

In addition, there are pinches of hair at the entrance of the cave, both white and yellow.

Hu Qian was stunned for a moment.

what is the problem?

Is this hole left by the murderer?Or is it that Qinghu's companions dug a hole to avenge him?
it looks like...

Something has been hiding under the bed...
