Chapter 325 A trip outside the city (first update)
The two frowned and thought for a while, Zhou Da said: "It's not very fast, and it's not very slow either."
Wu Chen Then he asked, "Is the person who opened the door a member of Yingniang's family or a member of the Zou family?"
Lu San hurriedly said: "They should be from the Zou family. When we came in and took a look, there were several servants who were tied up and squatting in the corner of the yard. They must be Yingniang's people."
“This yard?”
"No, it's the yard at the back." Zhou Da said.
"That is to say, you opened the door and entered the courtyard, but there was no one else in the front yard, and everyone was in the back yard?"
Both Zhou Da and Lu San frowned , Zhou Da said:
“It was a mess. When the Liu family brothers saw the door open, we rushed in first. I really don’t remember if there was anyone in the front yard at that time, so we followed them directly to the back yard. , Nazou Mr. Zou stood under the eaves with his hands on his hips and asked why we broke into the house privately. The Liu brothers shouted to return his sister. Mr. Zou was so arrogant that he only said that he didn’t recognize his sister. Later, we came forward and said that we would take her back. government office When asked, she said that she was Hao Kui's original wife and came from Kangshui County. Yingniang was just Hao Kui's concubine. She thought that the law had no control over such things. "
Wu Chen asked:
"At this time, the Liu family had a quarrel with the Zou family. They said that Ying Niang was married by Hao Kuiming, not a concubine or a concubine. They asked the Zou family to hand over the person and go to the government office together to explain it clearly. The Zou family only said Ying. My mother is my wife. She has been married to Hao Kui for almost twenty years. They have several children, and Ying’s mother has only been married for a few days. Is this right?”
“Yes, they had a fight. For a while, there were many members of the Liu family, and Zou was able to deal with them all by herself. Her voice was so high that we couldn't listen anymore, so we once again said that Ying Niang should be released first, and the government would make its own decision..."
"During their quarrel, the Liu family just stood here arguing with the Zou family from beginning to end, instead of going everywhere to look for Yingniang?" Wu Chen asked.
Both Zhou Da and Lu San shook their heads.
Wu Chen asked again: "You asked the Zou family again to release her, and then went to the government office to make a decision, and she directly said that Yingniang had been beaten to death by her?"
The two men nodded in unison.
Wu Chen looked at Shang Gong and asked, "Can Yin Shang hear anything wrong?"
Shang Gong said with a sullen face: "The Liu family and the Zou family are working together to delay time! ”
This time not only the sophomores in high school and Xu Da said "ah", but Zhou Da and Lu San also said "ah".
Song Gu nodded and said:
"According to common sense, the first thing the Liu family did when they entered the courtyard was to go from room to room looking for someone. They should be familiar with this house, and with the government officials nearby, they would only be bolder, so how could they be in the mood? Scolding with that shrew?"
Zhou Da and Lu San looked like they had an epiphany.
The second year of high school students asked in confusion: "If the Liu family wants to delay time, they can walk slower on the way here. If the Liu family and the Zou family join forces, they just need to prevent the maid from running out. No, maid It's right to run out and ignore the Liu family, and it's not right either. "We, if they join forces..."
"You want to say, if they join forces, as long as they don't let the government know about it, why bother to stage a maid reporting the news, the family reporting the crime, and finally leading the government servants to rush to the police station? The drama in the house?" Wu Chen asked.
The sophomore in high school nodded repeatedly.
Song Gu said: "Because they want this matter to spread in Kyoto, including the death of the Liu family later, as if they are reminding them every once in a while, for fear that someone will forget this case."
Shang Gong took a deep breath and said:
"Based on this inference, the murderer back then was probably not for money. I have thought about it before. What secrets did the Liu family know? The purpose of exterminating the family was to silence them, but later they felt something was wrong. The Liu family members did not die in the same year or at the same time, so the purpose of annihilation could not be achieved. Moreover, the three daughters-in-law of the Liu family were all from other surnames. How could the murderer be known? They didn't tell their parents about this secret? But their parents are all safe..."
"Has Shang Fuyin checked it out?" Wu Chen asked.
"After checking, in the past ten years, except for the grandparents, everyone has been fine. I went to these three households and asked them. People in the Liu family died of illness one after another. Did their daughter say anything? ?”
"How did they answer?"
Shang Gong smiled bitterly: "They said the same thing. The water thrown by the married daughter will be her life."
"All three families Is that what you said?" Wu Chen asked with a frown.
Shang Gong nodded first, and then asked: "What's wrong?"
"My daughter first became a widow, then all her husband's brothers died, and then her sister-in-law took her with her The child is also dead, how can the other two families say that this is fate? Even the sister-in-law’s family can’t say that! Come on, take me to these three families!”
Shang Gong looked at the sky and said, "They live outside the city. Let's go at this hour..."
"Shang Fuyin doesn't need to follow us. Just find someone who knows the way to take us there. I'm not afraid of anything." Just go out at night.”
……
After Gu Shiming returned to the Detective Department and made arrangements, he went to the government office. Wu Chen and the others had already left. When he chased Hao Kui's house, it was empty again. He turned back and rushed to the government office and finally saw Shang Gong. , only then did they know that Wu Chen and the others had left the city, and Gu Shiming was so angry that he stamped his feet.
……
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family is from Hetou Village outside the city. It was almost dusk when Wu Chen and the others rushed to Hetou Village. From a distance, they could see a courtyard that was different from other thatched houses. The house was tall and spacious, and the The front and back yards were divided, which looked very grand. The government officials said that this was the eldest daughter-in-law Cheng's natal family.
A few people got off their horses at the entrance of the courtyard, and Wu Chen walked straight in.
The people in the house seemed to be having dinner. When they heard something moving in the courtyard, a middle-aged man opened the door with a bowl and chopsticks. He was stunned when he saw the government servant leading several people into the courtyard. At the door.
Everyone else entered the courtyard, but Wu Chen stood at the door with his head lowered. The Yamen servant first shouted to the man: "Deputy Inspector Wu has something to ask you!"
< br>The man hurriedly asked: "Why are you asking again? Didn't the government ask before? What's there to say? If a married daughter throws water, her life and death are also the business of her husband's family..."
"Tear down their house!" Wu Chen said, flying up and heading towards the woods behind the house.
The man watched Wu Chen fly over his head, and the bowls and chopsticks in his hands fell to the ground.
The government officials were dumbfounded.
The second grade students shouted: "Demolish the house!"
The second grade students, Xu Da, and Song Gu took the lead in looking for tools in the courtyard, while the government officials were still looking at the sky in a daze.
At this time, an old man and a young man rushed out of the room. The two ran to the sophomores, pulling one and trying to pull the other. The old man shouted: "Isn't there no way to do it?!" < br>
The young man pulled Xu Dachao, who was in a daze, and shouted: "Master, come and take care of it." Take care!"
Xu laughed and asked: "Who are you calling them to help?"
The young man shouted angrily: "We usually interact with people in the government office, you guys It’s better to be knowledgeable!”(End of Chapter)
