Chapter 558: Emerging Signs
The corners of Zhang Jinghong's mouth hooked up a helpless smile, and he responded: "Three days ago, the first paper ball was picked up by the fourth aunt at the door of the hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I'm thinking about how important the contents of the paper ball are, and the blackmailer must have watched the fourth aunt pick up the paper ball with his own eyes, make sure that the fourth aunt saw the content of the paper ball, and make sure that the paper ball did not fall into the hands of others. So I speculated that at the door of the hall, whoever the fourth aunt saw at that time was the blackmailer. ā
Ah Chu was puzzled: "But who did the fourth aunt see at that time, she didn't tell us." ā
Zhang Jinghong reminded him: "Achu, think about it again, three days ago, we discussed the matter of the suspected murderer in the hall, and it seems that someone didn't go. I had assumed that the man didn't seem to care about the murderer and must have done something more important, and now I finally knew what he was going to do. ā
Ah Chu recalled at this time, and exclaimed: "Childe, that person is Jizhou, he said that he had a stomach upset and went to the toilet." It turned out that he went to blackmail the fourth aunt and made a fortune. ā
Zhang Jinghong patted Achu's arm with his hand and said, "You finally remembered." Now it is clear that Jizhou found that there was an impropriety between the fourth aunt and Hao Cheng, so he wrote a paper group to extort 500 taels. We will ambush the fourth aunt's compound tonight, and we will definitely be able to catch the blackmailers. Achu remember, this matter is known to you and me, when arresting the blackmailer, move neatly, don't make a noise to attract others, so that the matter of Hao Cheng and the fourth aunt is exposed, you know?"
"Yes, Childe. Ah Chu said respectfully and admiringly: "Childe doesn't want to make Young Master Hao Cheng embarrassed in the future and stay in the mansion without a face, don't worry, Ah Chu will definitely be cautious." ā
"Very good!" Zhang Jinghong nodded and said, "I think it's necessary for us to talk to Liu Xufei." ā
Ah Chu was stunned for a moment, and asked in a voice, "Childe wants to remind Miss Liu to beware of the fourth aunt?"
"Of course not. Zhang Jinghong shook his head lightly and said, "When I came back from the villagers just now, I went into the corridor and turned around, and I saw the knife marks on the beams and pillars of the house again. I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, I was thinking, according to the bloodstains in the room, I could judge that the fifth aunt was stabbed several times, and she was sure to die, since the murderer's purpose was achieved, why did he still chase the fifth aunt. If I were the murderer, I would have run for my life at this time. ā
Achu responded: "The fifth aunt was too stabbed, and she called for help from the old man, but the murderer swung a knife and stopped her." The murderer didn't let her go to the direction of the master, but forced her to run out of the house, no, she died in Liu Xufei's arms. ā
"Yes, Achu, you got to the point, that's what I'm going to say next. Zhang Jinghong perked up and almost jumped up, he said: "If the murderer is going to kill the fifth aunt, then obviously his goal has been achieved." If he wanted to kill other people, he could also go further and kill them, instead of chasing after the fifth aunt. ā
Ah Chu echoed: "Yes, Gongzi, there are many people in the Zhang Mansion, this is something that can be imagined, the murderer is in danger, he must chase the fifth aunt all the way, there must be a reason for this, but why?"
Zhang Jinghong's eyes were shining, and he said: "And more importantly, the murderer is just chasing after him, he still doesn't let the fifth aunt run to the master's room, he must force the fifth aunt to run out, this is really evil." I boldly assumed that the murderer's purpose in doing this was to let the fifth aunt die outside, so that the people outside would be implicated, and the suspicion of killing the fifth aunt could not be cleared. ā
"Oh my God, childe, your assumption is too bold, but it makes sense. Ah Chu exclaimed: "When the fifth aunt died, the people who happened to pass by outside the mansion were Liu Xufei and Jade Qilin. Could it be that the murderer's target is Liu Xufei? The person the murderer really wants to deal with is Liu Xufei?"
Ah Chu's eyes widened in horror, his body trembled a little, and his hand on the side of the teapot trembled, he panicked and panicked. Because of the horror of the murderer, because of the death of the fifth aunt, it is not simple.
Zhang Jinghong sighed and said, "This is just my speculation, and I still need to get further verification from Liu Xufei." If this is the case, the murderer needs to make a lot of preparations, first, he must know that Liu Xufei happened to pass outside Zhang's Mansion at this time; second, he must understand the environment of Zhang's Mansion in advance and select the target he wants to kill; third, he must ensure that Liu Xufei passes outside Zhang's Mansion. ā
Achu said: "Childe, then we just need to ask Liu Xufei if there have been any suspicious people around her in the past two days, especially the tall man with a big knife." As long as Liu Xufei tells the truth, we will be able to solve the case soon. ā
"In principle, this is the truth, I hope Liu Xufei will cooperate with us. Zhang Jinghong stared closely at the names of the four suspects on the white paper, and said to himself: "Jizhou, it may be the blackmailer who extorted five hundred taels, and it will be revealed tonight." Li Xing, this person is very low-key, he has been in Zhang's Mansion for a few days, and there is nothing that attracts attention, on the contrary, it is easy for people to ignore. Trapped in Zhang's Mansion, Li Wanyi and Zhu Xun were all clamoring to leave, but Li Xing didn't care. In the hall, I announced who the suspect was, and everyone was nervous, but this Li Xing was neither afraid nor surprised, which really made people wonder, could he really have reached that kind of situation where he was not surprised?"
Ah Chu answered on the side: "Childe, announcing the suspect, even the little boy Jade Qilin has reacted, this Li Xing's appearance is not about himself, it is really calm." Sadly, we haven't found any suspicious evidence of Li Xing so far. ā
Zhang Jinghong continued to say the name on the white paper: "Fourth aunt, all your thoughts revolve around Haocheng, it won't be her who killed the fifth aunt." As he spoke, he crossed out her name with a pen.
Seeing that there was a name on the paper, Zhang Jinghong said: "The third aunt, there is no martial arts, judging from the knife marks, the height is not enough, her only suspicion is that she is jealous and not simple-minded, it is not difficult for such a woman to kill a person." In the past few days, she has no flaws, no suspicions, is it really that I am thinking too much, and she has nothing to do with this matter at all?"
A Chu said: "Childe, maybe in the end, the most unexpected person is the murderer who killed the fifth aunt." Jizhou, Li Xing, and the third aunt are all in the house, so it will be much easier for us to check our hearts. ā
Zhang Jinghong nodded and said: "However, if you want to solve this matter, Liu Xufei is still the key, I want to meet her." ā
Ah Chu asked respectfully, "Childe, do you need Ah Chu to accompany you?"
Zhang Jinghong responded: "No need, you go and keep an eye on these three people, if there is any situation, report to me immediately!"
"Yes!"
