Chapter 1269: Cornucopia
Hua Lang, a man from the Sun Mansion, investigated carefully, but found no one with a motive to kill.
In this way, Hua Lang had no choice but to target the outsiders, so he asked Sun Yangke what enemies he had.
Everyone will have enemies, since Sun Yang was killed, naturally no exception, according to his two sons, Sun Yang does have an enemy, his name is Qian Yi, and he is doing business in Huainan City, the two are enemies in business, and it can almost be said that they have fought for a lifetime.
The only enemy they can think of is Qian Yiyi, so Hua Lang is going to see Qian Yi, and on the way to Qian Yifu, a big event happened on the street of Huainan City, a beggar is begging with a very simple basin, and some people say that it is like the cornucopia of the Sun family.
The people of the Sun family soon came to see it, and confirmed that the pot in the beggar's hand was indeed a cornucopia thrown by their Sun family.
The people of the Sun family sent the beggar to the government and decided that he was the murderer of Sun Yang.
Although Sima Guang was not good at judging cases, he was not confused, so he questioned the beggar, the beggar was very nervous and scared, although he had no money, and there was no meaning in living, but he still didn't want to die, he knelt on the ground and explained everything clearly.
It turned out that this beggar slept in the ruined temple last night, and as soon as he woke up and walked out of the temple gate, he found a basin, although the basin looked a little old, but it was much stronger than his missing bowl, he washed it, and used it as a begging bowl, but what he didn't expect was that he was regarded as a murderer.
Although he was not sure whether the beggar was telling the truth or not, Sima Guang did not immediately identify him as the murderer, and after leaving the cornucopia, Sima Guang dismissed the people of the Sun Mansion.
said that Hua Lang saw Qian Yi after going to Qian Mansion, and Qian Yi was surprised by Sun Yang's killing, but he did not show sadness, only said that he was innocent, but he couldn't show an alibi, because that night, he was sleeping, and said, it's so late, who is not sleeping is a fool.
This is a very common saying, and it is also very reasonable, so late, wouldn't it be like a fool not to sleep. But when I heard Hua Lang's ears, there was an indescribable strange feeling, yes, it's so late, why didn't Sun Hu and Sun Wei brothers sleep?
If one person doesn't sleep, it makes sense, but two people don't sleep, isn't it too much of a coincidence, could it be that the two of them hired a murderer, and the two of them used this to have an alibi, if so, everything seems to make sense again, after all, Sun Yang was killed, and the two of them got the most benefits.
After leaving the Qian Mansion, Hua Lang went to the mansion, and after Sima Guang exchanged news, the two of them immediately felt that it was very likely that things were like this, Sun Hu and Sun Wei hired murderers, and then threw away the cornucopia, no matter who picked up the cornucopia, they might be considered murderers by the people in the mansion, but the two brothers were extremely safe.
After thinking of this, Sima Guang said: "This official will arrest the two brothers." ”
After Sima Guang finished speaking, Hua Lang shook his head: "No need for the time being, now we haven't found evidence to prove our conjecture, and it's useless to catch the two brothers, they have an alibi!" ”
Hua Lang was right, Sima Guang nodded, and if the two of them wanted to put the two brothers in prison, they were afraid that they would have to catch the real murderer, and then let the murderer prove that they were hired by these two brothers to kill people.
All this is just their conjecture, but they believe that their conjecture can't be wrong, and all they have to do now is to find the real murderer, for this reason, they sent people to closely monitor Sun Hu and Sun Wei brothers, but they can more or less guess that if the murderer is really hired by the two brothers, then the murderer at this time is only afraid that the murderer will be more auspicious, either he will be killed, or he will be given a large sum of money to leave Huainan City to hide.
Therefore, sending people to secretly spy on Sun Hu and Sun Wei brothers seems to have little effect, but whether it is slim or not, this is the only thing they can do at this time.
In the middle of the night, Huainan City was as quiet as ever, but at this time, a black shadow flashed, and disappeared after a short stay in front of the yamen, and after the black shadow left, under the illumination of the moonlight, an envelope looked extremely dazzling.
There was another murder letter, and the next day, when the news reached Hua Lang's ears, Hua Lang suddenly had a very bad premonition, now they don't know anything about the murderer, but the murderer is going to kill again, is this a sign of incompetence for them?
And if there are murders in Huainan City one after another, I am afraid that it will make the people of the entire Huainan City unpeaceful, right?
At this time, they couldn't warn the people of Huainan City to let them be careful of the murderer, they didn't know who the murderer's target was, if they rashly spread the news that the murderer was going to kill again, they were afraid that the entire Huainan City would fall into unease, and this was not what Hua Lang wanted to see.
It is not terrible for a murderer to kill someone, but it would be terrible if the entire Huainan City fell into an uneasy mood. Now, the only thing they can do is to step up patrols to prevent the killer from committing crimes.
Therefore, during the day of this day, the officials of Huainan City began to patrol under the pretext of arresting the murderer of Sun Yang, and they must let the people of Huainan City familiarize themselves with the patrol first, otherwise if a large number of officials suddenly start patrolling at night, they are afraid that the people of Huainan City will not be able to sleep well.
At the end of summer, the weather in Huainan City was still hot, but those officials did not dare to slack off, and still stuck to their posts, constantly patrolling, but this time they did not have a little spectrum in their hearts, because they didn't know what they were looking for on patrols?
The night is getting deeper, those officials can't help but strengthen their vigilance, when the smoke rises, some children also sensibly return home, the streets of the entire Huainan City are walking in twos and threes, they have no specific goal, they just want to put invisible pressure on the murderer, they want to make the murderer timid, so that they dare not do it casually.
And just when many officials were training everywhere in Huainan City, a black shadow suddenly appeared on a street, the speed of the black shadow was extremely fast, he crossed a door wall, and soon disappeared, all this was very fast, none of the officials found a trace, about a cup of tea after the effort, the person suddenly ran out again, and disappeared without a trace after a while.
