Chapter 041 Books of Accounts.

In the early morning, it started to rain.

When everyone got up, the rain fell so hard and so hard that they could only take the house with them, and they couldn't go anywhere.

The rain is very wild, and the sound of crackling is like a bell, which is very pleasant.

It's rare to have free today, and it's also interesting for everyone to sit together and chat, and while they chatted, they talked about Hua Lang being a private detective, and at this time, Hua Lang told them his ideas.

If you want to be a private detective, you must be famous, and if you want to be famous, you have to use Bao Zheng's prestige, so it is necessary to handle a few cases for Bao Zheng.

And when the time is ripe, Hua Lang opened a detective agency in Tianchang County, and informed the people here of the purpose of the detective agency, at this time, if the people have any problems, or there is a suspicious case at home and do not want to alarm everyone, they can come to Hua Lang for help, of course, if necessary, it is naturally best to cooperate with the government to handle the case.

Hua Lang said at length, when Yin Wuxian and Wen Meng understood each other, they all felt that this industry was very interesting, much more interesting than entering officialdom or doing business.

Moreover, with commissions charged depending on the situation, there is no problem in raising a family.

After everyone talked about the private detective, they talked about many other things, and the rain outside the door blew into the house, which made people feel very cool.

Just when the rain was not very heavy, a small servant hurriedly came to report that the government had sent a government official to see Hua Lang.

Bao Zheng sent a servant to Wen Mansion, Hua Lang's face changed suddenly after hearing it, if it wasn't for any difficulties, Bao Zheng wouldn't have let people come in the rain.

After the servant invited the servant into the living room, Hua Lang immediately asked, "Lord Bao asked you to come to me, but is there something wrong?" ”

The official nodded: "Dude, then Zhu Yougui admitted that he owed Dong Cheng more than 1,000 taels of silver, but he did not admit that he stole the account books, and he did not admit that he killed Dong Cheng." ”

"Oh, there's such a thing?" Hua Lang asked with some interest, and he seemed to have expected this.

The official nodded and said, "That's true, then Zhu Yougui said that he admitted that on the day Dong Cheng died, he took the IOU in the account book from Dong Cheng's rice grain store, but he didn't need to take the account book, and the account book was so big, if he took it, for example, someone would find out." ”

After listening to the words of the officer, everyone also felt that there was some truth, if Zhu Yougui just wanted an IOU, why did he have to take away the account book, it would only make him suspicious, but if the account book was not taken by Zhu Yougui, who would take it?

Who killed Dong Cheng, is Zhu Yougui?

But after the killer Dong Cheng, why didn't he take the 1,000 taels of silver with him?

The case became more and more confusing, and at this time, the official looked at Hua Lang and said, "Dude, my lord invites you to go to the county government to see what to do next." ”

Hua Lang agreed, and then they and Wen Mengyin rushed to the county government with an oil-paper umbrella.

Tianchang County belongs to Yangzhou and belongs to the south of the Yangtze River, so there is also a unique elegance and haze in the south of the Yangtze River, and they walked on the streets, and they couldn't help but be full of poetry.

And thinking of poetry, Hua Lang thought of Dai Wangshu's "Rain Alley", but the Rain Alley here is not lonely, and there is no girl with grievances.

Walking through the long street, they finally came to the county office, after entering the county office, Bao Zheng was already waiting in the living room, after Bao Zheng told the details of today's interrogation, Hua Lang couldn't help frowning, what Zhu Yougui said has some truth, but if this is the case, who is the murderer?

After serving tea to Hua Lang and the others, Bao Zheng continued: "I have asked people to re-check the copies of the account books they got from Mr. Bookkeeper to see if there is anything missing. ”

Hua Lang nodded: "Brother Bao did the right thing, since the account book was not stolen by Zhu Yougui, it must be someone else, but why do other people steal the account book, there must be a problem in this account book." ”

As he spoke, a man who looked like a gentleman walked in, he came to Bao Zheng, saluted, and said, "My lord, I have checked this account book, the entry and exit are balanced, and there is no loophole, but there are a few accounts, which are strange and strange, not like a store like a rice grain store." ”

After listening to this old gentleman, Bao Zheng nodded slightly, then looked at Hua Lang and asked, "What did Brother Hua think of?" ”

Hua Lang smiled faintly: "I thought of Mr. Bookkeeper." ”

Dong Cheng's account books are all recorded by himself, so there will be no mistakes, and he still can't deceive himself about his own business.

But Mr. Bookkeeper is different, managing accounts, oil and water should be very sufficient, just do a little tricks, you can make a profit, of course, the most important thing is not to be discovered by Dong Cheng.

When Dong Cheng was still alive, because Dong Cheng looked at the account books very strictly, Mr. Ledger had no oil and water to fish, but after Dong Cheng died, he could do something on the account books to make himself have some extra income, but after doing so, Dong Cheng's own account books must be destroyed, so that all the account output of the rice grain store must see the copy of Mr. Ledger.

After Hua Lang explained this to everyone, Bao Zheng immediately sent someone to arrest Mr. Ledger.

After Mr. Bookkeeper was arrested, after listening to Hanalang's narration, he immediately kowtowed and confessed.

"My lord spares his life, the little one did embezzle the money in the store, and made a fake account in the account book, and after doing this, he stole Boss Dong's account book and destroyed it, but ...... But I did all this after I learned that Boss Dong was killed, and Boss Dong's death had nothing to do with me. ”

Mr. Bookkeeper is already very old, and he looks very pitiful when he kneels on the ground and begs for mercy at this time, but this does not arouse everyone's sympathy for him, it is his greed that makes everyone spend a lot of time and energy, and in the end, they don't get anything, who killed Dong Cheng, there is no idea at all.

One thousand taels of silver, the one thousand taels of silver, after the murderer killed someone, why didn't he take the one thousand taels of silver with him, and what was his intention in doing so?

Don't you look down on a thousand taels of silver? But no matter how rich a person is, he will not feel that a thousand taels of silver is less.

is to find Dong Cheng for revenge, so the intention is not in the silver, but even if it is revenge, after taking revenge, who can not be tempted when he sees a thousand taels of silver after revenge? And if it is really revenge, he will definitely want to break Dong Cheng's body into ten thousand pieces, how can he let go of Dong Cheng's 1,000 taels of silver?

If neither of these possibilities are possible, then it can only be said that the murderer is too smart.
