Chapter 645: Thinking in the Rain
Mrs. Ma thought for a moment and said, "It's on the street in front of our house, which should be the section to the east."
After listening to Madame Ma's words, Hua Lang took a closer look at the corpse, and when he was sure that there was nothing to see, he led the people out of Ma's mansion.
After leaving Mafu and coming out into the street, they immediately headed east, and since they were buying snacks there, the people in the vicinity must have known about it, after all, if the hawkers wanted to do well, they had to rely on shouting.
After coming there, Hua Lang and the others only asked casually, and then asked to understand, last night there was indeed a vendor here to sell snacks like glutinous rice pastries, which tasted sticky and sweet, but the people here said that the vendor often came here to buy snacks, and they almost all knew him, but they didn't know where his family lived.
After listening to the words of the people here, Song Gongqing immediately said to the officials around him: "You must find this hawker, he is very likely to be a murderer!" ”
After receiving the order, the officials asked the people in detail about the appearance and appearance of the vendor.
At this time, it was still early, and the black autumn clouds were floating in the air, and there was a great pressure to overwhelm the city.
Because there was no one to ask, Hua Lang and Song Gongqing and others had to go back to the county government first, on the way back to the county office, Song Gongqing said: "Now even Ma Shan is dead, it's really puzzling, originally I guessed that Ma Shan was the murderer!" ”
Song Gongqing said this, everyone was also full of doubts, Lu Yibai, Zheng Shijie and Ma Shan were extremely good friends, but they were killed one after another, and now the only person with clear suspicion is the maid Yingqiong who was played with by Zheng Shijie and disappeared.
So could this Yingqiong be the murderer who killed these three people?
If so, what is the motivation?
If it is said that Lu Yibai and Zheng Shijie are lustful and were killed because of women, but Ma Shan has a wife in his family, and he has never been contaminated with other women, and now that Ma Shan is dead, is it also because of women?
Three people who had a very good relationship were killed one after another, and there must have been some connection between them.
When they were about to reach the county office, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and then a drizzle began to fall in the air, and the pedestrians on the street saw that it was raining, and they went to the eaves on both sides of the street to take shelter from the rain, or hurried home, and Hua Lang and they hurried to the county office.
Rushed back to the county office, everyone just sat down in the living room, the rain outside crackled, and after a while, the entire Longsu County was overwhelmed by black clouds, and the sky did not improve at all.
The autumn rain is very crazy, there is a sycamore planted in the courtyard of the inner courtyard of Longxu County, the leaves of the sycamore are not very yellow at this time, but it is autumn in the comparative season, so as soon as the wind blows, the entire inner courtyard will float up the sycamore leaves, the sycamore leaves are accompanied by the rain, and the wind blows into the living room, Song Gongqing couldn't help but sigh, and said: "I really didn't expect that this rain is so crazy, it seems that the matter of finding someone will be delayed again." ”
When Song Gongqing said this, he turned his head and glanced at Hua Lang, only to see that Hua Lang did not react, just stared at the rain outside the living room in a daze, Song Gongqing knew that Hua Lang was thinking, so he stopped speaking, for a while, the whole living room suddenly quieted down, and only the sound of wind and rain outside came.
After about half a pillar of incense, everyone couldn't bear the silence, so they got up and walked around the living room, chatting with each other, saying when the rain would stop or something.
But just when everyone was shouting like this, Hua Lang suddenly stood up from his chair and said, "Oh no, we were deceived!" ”
The crowd was shocked and hurriedly gathered to ask, "Who have we been deceived?" ”
"Mrs. Ma!"
"Mrs. Ma?" It turned out to be very puzzled, why were they deceived by Mrs. Ma?
At this time, it was raining heavily, the wind was very strong, and the living room was quiet, and suddenly it became noisy, because they really did not understand that Madame Ma had deceived them.
Hua Lang didn't have time to explain, and instructed Song Gongqing: "You immediately ask people to prepare two carriages and umbrellas, let's talk on the way!" ”
Song Gongqing saw that Hua Lang was so anxious, so he had no choice but to do it, so after preparing the carriage and umbrellas, they all ignored the rain and strong winds, and hurriedly got into the carriage and left the county office.
There was not a single pedestrian on the road at this time, and a few pedestrians stood here and there under the eaves beside the street, walking up and down without listening, as if praying that the rain would soon stop.
Ten zhang away in front of you can't see the direction clearly, the carriage is struggling on the street, and at this time, everyone is looking at Hua Lang eagerly, they don't know where Lu Dao is going, and they don't know what Lu Dao Hua Lang is trying to do, of course, these can slowly know Lu Dao, and being deceived by Mrs. Ma, they must know Lu Dao immediately.
It's not good to be deceived, especially if you're deceived and you don't know it.
Hua Lang saw that the carriage had left the county office, so he said to everyone: "Do you remember that Mrs. Ma came to the county office to report the case this morning?" ”
Everyone nodded again and again, this incident has only happened for a few hours, how can they not know the way!
Hua Lang smiled lightly and said, "Then do you think this matter is strange?" ”
"Strange, what's strange there?" Wen Meng couldn't help but ask.
The corners of Hua Lang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said: "No matter what the Ma family says, it is also a big family in Longsu County, and there are one or twenty people in the family, how can you let Mrs. Ma come in person for something like reporting a case!" ”
As soon as Hua Lang said this, everyone suddenly woke up, and at this time, Hua Lang continued: "The vendor who buys snacks is a frequent visitor on the street in front of Ma Fumen, if he wants to poison Ma Shan, he only needs to appear when Ma Shan appears, why should he appear often on that street, in this way, doesn't it increase his own danger?" ”
"Do you mean that the peddler wasn't a murderer at all?"
Hua Lang nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right! ”
"Is the murderer Mrs. Ma?" Wen Meng guessed.
Hua Lang was silent, and said after a long time: "This is not certain, but I think about it carefully, I think Ma Shan's body is very suspicious, if a person is poisoned, his face will indeed turn black, his lips will be purple, but his face will not be swollen, not only will it not be swollen, but after the person dies, the water will be dispersed, and he will become thinner and thinner, but Ma Shan's face is slightly swollen." ”
After listening to Hua Lang's words, Yin Wuxian suddenly said: "Could it be that Ma Shan was afraid of being investigated by us, so he found a corpse and faked his death?" ”
Hua Lang frowned slightly, and said after a long time: "But I have carefully examined that corpse, and there is no trace of disfigurement, and that corpse is black, and it is extremely similar to Ma Shan, it is really hard to believe that it is other corpses!" After Hanaro finished speaking, his hand couldn't help but hold his chin.
