Chapter 53: The Mystery of the Medical Box

This news finally saved Jing Mo's hope, which had been slim just now. This leather medical box is indeed an important piece of evidence, and now that it has been obtained, this case can certainly make some progress.

Jing Mo hurriedly asked, "What a coincidence. So is there anything else in the leather medicine box besides the examination equipment? ”

But Wang Chaozong replied: "No! I've checked it carefully, and there's absolutely nothing else. ”

Jing Mo didn't give up, and asked again: "I expected that there was one, and it must have been taken by that person." Have you questioned him? ”

"Of course, I asked carefully, and he said that there was really nothing else."

"So how did he get the Leather Doctor's Box? Did the man rob it? ”

"We have found out that this person's name is Song Heisan, and he was originally a prank. According to him, the leather kit was given to him by a friend of his. So how did this thing come about, even he didn't know. ”

"It's certainly not reliable. You should have caught the friend he said he was talking about. ”

"That's right, I've done it in this direction. Before I came, I had sent someone to take him to arrest the companion who had given him the leather kit. However, didn't Lord Nie go out? You'd better try to send him a message. Come with him to the prison, so that when the chief man is caught, you may listen to his confession.

Jing Mo agreed, and then Wang Chaozong took his leave and left.

Jing Mo pondered: I didn't know Nie Xiaoman's traces, and I had no way to look for it for a while, so I had to wait for Xiaoman to come back and go with him. Jing Mo then went back to the room to get dressed, still resting on Xiaoman's bed, and waiting for Nie Xiaoman.

Who knew that this wait would be in the middle of the night, and Nie Xiaoman still didn't come back, and Jing Mo began to feel a little uneasy in his heart. After another pillar of incense, Wei Pu led an unknown Xiaoyu to come, and it turned out that the dynasty sect had sent this person to deliver the letter. Xiao Zhu quickly spread the word that the person who delivered the leather medical box had been caught, and told him to go to the trial quickly.

Jing Mo was impatient, where could he sit and wait for Nie Xiaoman! explained to Wei Pu that he wanted to go to the yamen first. Then Jing Mo used a pillar of incense, dressed Shu Qi, and borrowed a soft-edged Tang scarf from Nie Xiaoman to cover the wounds on his forehead, and hurried over.

Jing Mo arrived at the cell where Wang Chaozong was staying, Wang Chaozong hurriedly stood up and greeted him, and heard that Nie Xiaoman had not returned to the house yet, so he led Jing Mo to the front of the prison cell first and took a look at the person who had just been arrested.

Wang Zhutou said to Jing Moyan: "This thief is called Mao Erdu, and he is also an old thief. He wore a padded jacket of blue cloth, the color of which was already discussed, very much like gray. Go and see if it's the person you bumped into last night. ”

Jing Mo asked, "Have you already inquired?" How did he get the kit? ”

Wang Chaozong said: "I have already asked once. What he said seemed to be quite honest. Now you might as well listen to him himself. ”

I saw the man in the cell, short and fat, with a pair of rat eyes that kept spinning. It seems that he is about thirty years old, and although the padded jacket on his body is almost gray, he is wearing a pair of black pants on his lower body, which can never be the same person compared to the big man who knocked him down last night.

Wang Chaozong shouted loudly: "Hey, Mao Erdu, this is the old man on a mission, you tell me what happened last night again, don't have a lie!" But there is a half sentence that is different from just now, carefully skinning you alive! ”

Mao Erdu naturally knew how powerful Jinyi Wei was, and he was so frightened that he was like sifting chaff, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly and said: "Master Yu learned that last night, I walked east from the west of the North Patriarch's Nunnery, and suddenly heard a miserable scream, which was terrifying, and I saw the sedan chair man carrying the empty sedan chair running towards me, and he was passing me. Then I saw a man on the left side of the street fleeing and disappearing in the blink of an eye. At first, I thought it was some kind of robbery. But I took a few more steps forward, and suddenly I saw a man lying on the right side of the street, with two leather medical boxes beside him. I was blinded by lard, and I became greedy for a while, and felt that there was no one left and right, so I ran up and took the leather medical box and turned around and left. ”

Jing Mo raised his palm to stop the thief and said, "You turned around and fled?" In which direction? ”

Almost without thinking, the thief blurted out, "I was facing east from the west." Then I got two leather medicine boxes, and I went back the way I came, but I fled westward. ”

Jing Mo nodded, it seemed that he had not lied about forgetting worries.

"Okay, go on."

"After I fled back to the room, I hurriedly opened the leather medical box and saw that one large leather medical box was full of things used in Langzhong, and the other small flat leather medical box was full of silver tickets. This morning, Song Heisan came to borrow money from me again, and I didn't dare to tell him about the silver ticket, for fear that he would have to meet him in half of it, so I gave him the leather medical box of the doctor's set, and I didn't expect it to be planted because of this. ”

"How many silver tickets are there?"

"There are a total of fifty taels of silver tickets, but I haven't used a single cent, and I have been completely searched by the arrested lord just now."

Jing Mo turned his head and looked at Wang Chaozong, meaning to confirm the information with him and ask him if there was such a thing.

Wang Chaozong replied with a comprehension: "Indeed, there really is a silver ticket of fifty taels, and the Delong ticket number." ”

Jing Mo asked Chaozong in surprise: "I see! Looking at it this way, the 'thing' that Jin Xiguang asked about probably refers to the fifty taels of silver tickets. But I don't know what is the use of Luo Guanmiao bringing this huge amount of money? ”

Wang Chaozong said: "He clearly wants to bring money to the old merchant store to meet that Jin Xiguang." I don't know what this does yet. ”

Jing Mo asked in a low voice, "Brother Chaozong, do you think this person's words can be completely credible?" Do you want to torture him? ”

Mao Erdu's knees took a few steps forward, and he replied crying: "Master, there is no falsehood!" Why this person was killed, and who the murderer was, I really don't know. If there is half a lie, sir, you will cut off my head again. Sir, be gracious. ”

Jing Mo then turned his head to look at the thief: "Listen, you just said that you saw a man fleeing from the left side of the street to the east. Yes and no? ”

Mao Er replied: "Yes, master." ”

"Do you see the man's clothes and figure?"

"Well, sir, I don't know, but I seem to see that man is very tall, and his clothes seem to be gray."

"And have you ever seen his face?"

"No, sir. The man began to appear to be lurking on the other side of the street, and then fled eastward. I didn't have time to see his face. ”

It seems that Mao Erdao's performance is not like daring to play any tricks in front of Wang Chaozong, but his confession is really limited. Jingmo asked this, and there was nothing more to ask.

Jing Mo felt that although these messages had made some progress and helped the truth of the case, there was still no tangible evidence, and he was still overjoyed.

Jing Mo stood up and prepared to leave, and suddenly said to Wang Chaozong: "Since this is the case, this line is not of much use to us. What are you going to do to follow up on the case now? ”

Wang Chaozong scratched his head, as if he had no intention of doing so, and didn't know how to answer for a while. At that moment, an errand officer came up to report it.

"Su Shangcha, Master Nie sent someone to deliver the letter."

Xiaoman finally has news! Jing Mo couldn't help but be happy, a smile appeared on his face, and he took the letter and tore it open, and there was only one line of words.

Brother Jingmo, go back to the gluttonous cat study quickly, I have prepared lunch and is waiting for you. The case has been revealed, and I have some important clues.
