Chapter 633: Murder for Money
Chapter 633 Murder for Money.
The ship moved slowly on the sea, and at this speed they could reach Ceylon in three days.
Therefore, they must find out the murderer of Amin within three days.
But now Ye Xing and the others don't know many clues, and it is not easy to find the murderer immediately, but at sea, the murderer must be on these ships.
Amin is dead, but the murderer can't escape.
According to Erdan, when Ah Ming was docking, he often went to the shore to cook for others to make money, and I heard that he made a lot of money, but Ye Xing and the others did not find any other silver in Ah Ming's bed.
Therefore, it is very likely that the murderer killed for money.
I am afraid that there are not many people who know that Ah Ming is rich on the whole ship, and the second egg is one, Chen Donggua and Zhang Xiaobai Luohai live with Ah Ming, and they should also know.
Therefore, these four people are the most suspicious.
It's just that this news was told to Ye Xing by Erdan, if Erdan is the murderer, then he will definitely have to hide this matter, so Erdan can be ruled out for the time being.
Then there are only three people left, Chen Donggua, Zhang Xiaobai and Luo Hai.
When dusk was approaching, Ye Xing and the others called Chen Donggua, Zhang Xiaobai and Luo Hai out again, the three of them were about to cook, but King Daming sent someone to call, even if they were in bed with women, I am afraid they would have to come immediately.
The three of them stood on the deck, and the hot wind of the sea blew, giving people a half-warm and half-cold feeling.
Ye Xing looked at the three of them and asked coldly, "Do you know what I asked you to do at this time?" ”
Chen Donggua and the three of them glanced at each other, and then they all shook their heads.
Ye Xing smiled coldly: "Ah Ming has a lot of money on him, you should know, right?" ”
When Chen Donggua and the three of them heard Ye Xing say this, they were shocked, but they still quickly shook their heads and said: "Our salaries are the same, we don't know how much money Chen Donggua has, and he doesn't have a lot of money." ”
Ye Xing looked at them with a strange look: "Really? ”
Chen Donggua's fat body writhed, and then quickly nodded and said, "Yes, he really doesn't have much money!" ”
At this time, Ye Xing suddenly changed the conversation and asked, "Since you have the same salary as Ah Ming, then you don't have much money?" ”
When Luo Hai heard Ye Xing ask like this, he stammered and asked, "Big ...... Daming ...... King Ming, you ...... What do you say...... What are the words...... Meaning, we ...... 's money is the same as Amin's. ”
Ye Xing smiled slightly: "Okay, since your money is the same as Ah Ming's, then I will send someone to search your room to see how much money you have!" ”
The two soldiers sneaked into the cabin to search, while Ye Xing stood on the deck and looked at Chen Donggua and the three of them asked, "I advise you to tell the truth quickly, otherwise the evidence will be conclusive, and I will never spare you." ”
Chen Donggua and the three of them began to get nervous, but if they wanted to tell the truth first, it was really difficult for them.
In a few moments, the soldiers were on deck, with a bag of silver in their hands.
When the soldier handed the silver to Ye Xing, Chen Donggua, Zhang Xiaobai and Luo Hai immediately knelt down.
The soldier said, "Back to King Daming, these silvers were all found from the rooms of the three of them, and there were about more than three thousand taels of silver. ”
Ye Xing looked at Chen Donggua, Zhang Xiaobai and Luo Hai who were kneeling on the ground and asked, "What else do you have to say now, hurry up and recruit from the truth!" ”
Chen Donggua and the three of them looked at each other again, and then Chen Donggua was the first to speak: "King Daming spares his life, we know that we are wrong, and I ask King Daming to forgive me!" ”
They were begging for mercy, but Ye Xing wanted to know the truth of the matter.
"You tell the truth, how did you kill Amin?" Ye Xing shouted angrily.
Ye Xing's scolding frightened Chen Donggua and the others, and they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Ming King Mingjian, we just took Ah Ming's silver, and we didn't kill Ah Ming!" ”
Chen Donggua's begging for mercy made Ye Xing hesitate for a while, could it be that Ah Ming's death was not because of murder for money, but Ah Ming's money was obviously in the hands of these three people!
"You said that you didn't kill Amin, so why is Amin's money in the hands of the three of you, hurry up and answer truthfully, otherwise you will feel good!" Ye Xing scolded sharply.
Chen Donggua nodded hurriedly: "Every time Ah Ming comes back from the shore, he will have a few hundred taels of silver, the three of us are very curious, so one day we followed him, and finally learned that he earned money from cooking, and it was a lot, but after we knew it, we didn't have any bad intentions, but I couldn't stop envying him, Ah Ming really made money." ”
"In that case, why did you steal Amin's money again?" In Ye Xing's tone, there was still anger.
Chen Donggua didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "Just in the middle of the night last year, Ah Ming suddenly went out, but he never came back, the three of us were very strange, and then I heard a plop, thinking that this Ah Ming accidentally fell into the sea, we wanted to call someone to save him, but thinking about it and thinking about it, it was unlikely, so we waited for a while, about an hour later, Ah Ming has not come back, we think that if he really fell into the sea, then he must be dead now, so we thought, since Ah Ming is dead, Then why don't we divide his money equally, anyway, few people know that he has it, so in the end, the three of us divided Amin's money. ”
After Chen Donggua finished speaking, Ye Xing and the others already had an understanding of this matter, and at this time, Hua Zhimeng asked: "Since you have divided Ah Ming's money equally, why don't you also share Ah Ming's salary?" ”
Zhang Xiaobai saw Hua Zhimeng and asked, and hurriedly replied: "We are not stupid people, if we take Ah Ming's salary, we will definitely be suspected, so we only took the money that Ah Ming earned ashore." ”
After Di Xiaojie heard Zhang Xiaobai finish speaking, he sneered: "You are really very smart, but it's a pity that your heart is not right, and you will be punished!" ”
Being frightened by Di Xiaojie like this, Chen Donggua and the three of them were suddenly frightened, they knelt down and begged for mercy again and again, saying that they would never dare to say anything in the future, Ye Xing saw that the three of them were not murderers, so he had no intention of punishing the three of them, after all, it was not easy for the three of them to follow them to the sea, and it was reasonable to be greedy for money.
"Do you know why Amin went out in the middle of the night?" Ye Xing wanted to ask again.
Luo Hai thought for a while and said, "Recently...... One day I saw him talking to the envoys of Ceylon, and when he came back, Amin's spirit was even worse, and I asked him what was wrong, and he didn't say why he went out in the middle of the night, but we don't know. ”
