Chapter 128: A Suspicious Murderer
Chapter 128: A Suspicious Murderer.
It's noon in autumn, and the sun is quiet.
Hua Lang and the others had been waiting for news from the county office, and now they could conclude that there were two murderers in Tianchang County, one of the two murderers poisoned many people with golden silkworm Gu, and the other poisoned one person with rat grass.
But no matter how many people are poisoned, the murderer must be punished.
And they can also guess to some extent that the murderer killed people with rat grass, I am afraid that he is like blaming the murder on the person who poisoned people with golden silkworm Gu, but he did not expect that someone in the county government could distinguish the symptoms of poisoning people with two poisons.
About a short time later, the officials finally got the news.
"The identity of the deceased has been inquired clearly, his name is Zeng Yiming, his family has several shops in Tianchang County, and it can be regarded as a solid family."
After listening to the words of the servant, Hua Lang asked, "Who else is in his family, is it possible that the people in his family killed him in order to seize property?" ”
The official shook his head: "Now there are no other relatives in the entire Zeng Mansion except him, not even a distant relative, and there are not many people in his mansion, if you want to seize property, the people in his mansion have no such possibility, because even if Zeng Yiming dies, his property will not be given to the people in his mansion." ”
"What about the people in his business?"
The official thought for a while and said: "In Zeng Yiming's business, there is indeed a companion, that person is called Sun Di, who is a little friend who has played with Zeng Yiming, Sun Di's family background is also very solid, and Zeng Yiming opened a silk shop in a joint venture, I heard that the business is very hot." ”
After the official finished speaking, Wen Meng hurriedly said: "In this way, that Sun Di is very suspicious, it is very likely that he killed Zeng Yiming in order to swallow the silk shop alone." ”
This is indeed a possibility, and Hua Lang continued to ask: "Can you inquire clearly, who was with Zeng Yiming the night before?" ”
The official shook his head: "I didn't hear about it." ”
Hua Lang sighed, and then let the official go down.
At this time, Bao Zheng said: "That Sun Di is very suspicious, I think we need to ask him." ”
Hua Lang did not object to this, so after a short time, the two catchers quickly called Sun Di, Sun Di is a burly man, but there is a scar on his face, he does not look so handsome, he was arrested and brought to the county office, he was very puzzled and asked: "I didn't break the law, why did you arrest me here?" ”
Bao Zheng's dark face twitched slightly, and said, "I just called you here to understand something, if you don't want to answer, we have reason to suspect that you killed Zeng Yiming." ”
As soon as Sun Di heard Zeng Yiming's name, he immediately shuddered, and then stopped resisting, kneeling on the ground and letting Bao Zheng ask questions.
Bao Zheng looked at Sun Di and asked, "Have you met with Zeng Yiming the night before yesterday?" ”
Sun Di shook his head: "Back to adults, no, my wife's distant cousin came the night before yesterday, and my wife and I were at home to drink with him, and we drank until late at night, and then we went back to our rooms to rest." ”
"Really?"
"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask my wife, ask my wife's cousin."
Bao Zheng smiled coldly and said, "Okay, Lord Ben will ask." Bao Zheng said, giving a look to a servant, who understood and hurriedly left the lobby.
Then, Bao Zheng continued to ask: "What is your relationship with Zeng Yiming?" ”
"The two of us run a silk shop together, and we have a good relationship."
"Then have you ever thought about swallowing Zeng Yiming and your silk shop alone?"
Hearing Bao Zheng's question, Sun Di's face changed greatly, and he said: "My lord, you are wronged, even if Zeng Yiming dies, I won't get the silk shop." ”
When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised, since the shop was opened by two people, and the other partner died, why didn't this shop belong to Sun Di?
"Explain clearly!" Bao Zheng scolded coldly.
Sun Di's face changed, as if he had an opinion on Bao Zheng scolding him like this, but he was a citizen, and he didn't dare to complain, so he had to reply: "Lord Hui, here's the thing, the silk shop was opened by the villain and Zeng Yiming together, yes, but the money to buy the shop and the principal of the silk were all made by Zeng Yiming, I just helped to draw a layer of profit from the profits." ”
After listening to Sun Di's words, everyone looked at each other, but they didn't believe it very much, why did Zeng Yiming hand over a silk shop with a good business to someone else to take care of, and let Sun Di take a layer of profits.
"Then why is Zeng Yiming so good to you?" Hua Lang saw that Bao Zheng didn't ask, so he took the opportunity to ask.
Sun Di did not doubt Hualang's identity, and replied: "Zeng Yiming likes freedom, he doesn't like to take care of business, so several of his shops are paid for by himself, and then ask someone to help take care of them, I have played with Zeng Yiming since I was a child, and I love to do business and take care of the store, so his silk shop will be handed over to me to help take care of it." ”
Listening to Sun Di's explanation, it still makes sense, but even so, it can't rule out Sun Di's suspicion, and he must wait for the official to bring Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun's cousin before making a decision.
After a stick of incense, the official led a woman and a man in, and after the two of them walked in, they knelt down and waited for Bao Zheng to ask questions.
Seeing this, Bao Zheng pointed to the man and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The man knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Xiaomin Li He." ”
Bao Zheng snorted, and then continued to ask, "The night before yesterday, but the wine you drank with Sun Di?" ”
Li He nodded: "Back to adults, it's true." ”
"After drinking a lot of time, did you leave halfway?"
Li He thought for a while and said, "Back to the adult's words, I started in the evening and drank until late at night, and Sun Di left for a while because of internal urgency. ”
"How long was that?"
"Back to the adult, it won't be long, and it's time to pee!"
Li He said this, not at all feeling that what he said was indecent, and his expression was calm and calm, and he did not look weak at all.
Regarding the distance between Zeng Yiming and Sun Di's two families, Bao Zheng knew the Tao before, at least two streets apart, if Sun Di had only been away for a short period of time, then he would not have had a chance to poison Zeng Yiming.
"And after that?"
"After that, we drank a few more drinks, and we didn't go back to our rooms until we were both drunk." After Li He finished speaking, he glanced at Sun Di, but Sun Di didn't look at Li He because of his nervousness just now.
Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, looked at Sun and asked, "Is the incident the night before yesterday as Li He said, did your husband leave after returning to the room?" ”
