Chapter 48 Suspicion (3)

Zhao Rong sat quietly and thought about the case. Li Wu had a common case and said softly: "Is this case related to Wang Dashan?"

Zhao Rong suddenly remembered that Li Wuchang was beside him and felt a little regretful. He looked at Li Wuchang and said solemnly: "Little Five, you must not say too much about this matter, as too much will cause disaster." Li Wuchang was frightened and nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Rong and Li Wuchang were chatting, but saw a man strode into the government office. Li Wuchang stood up to greet him, and it was Zhao Hu, another yamen runner of the Dongcheng Commander Office.

Zhao Hu came in and asked, "Where is sir?"

Zhao Rong responded. Zhao Hu came over and bowed to see him. Zhao Rong ordered him to sit down and asked Li Wuchang to pour some tea. After drinking a large bowl of tea, Zhao Hu wiped the water off the corner of his mouth and said, "The villain is in the city, secretly inquired. Liucheng disappeared the day before the incident. As the adults expected, he must have secretly arrived at the Liu family's house."

After hearing this, Zhao Rong asked with a smile: "What do you two think?"

Zhao Hu said: "Liucheng is very suspicious." Li Wuchang also said: "I also think that Liucheng is very suspicious!"

Zhao Rong sneered: "You are all deceived by him."

Zhao Hu and Li Wuchang were surprised and hurriedly asked about the reason.

Zhao Rong said: "There was a conspiracy in the past, written on the black and white paper, but you turned a blind eye to it."

Zhao Hu and Li Wuchang were puzzled.

Zhao Rong then said the case again, and then listed several suspects one by one.

After hearing Zhao Rong's words, Zhao Hu woke up and said, "In this way, these people may commit crimes and kill people."

Zhao Rong smiled but said nothing.

At noon, Captain Xing, Master Song and Wei Que returned one after another. After meeting Zhao Rong, several people sat around the table and pretended to be doctors from all directions, saying, "The villain has investigated Sun Sanlang's situation, and there is nothing suspicious about it."

Master Song, who pretended to be a sugar vendor, continued: "The villain asked around and there was no news."

Wei Que said: "The villain set up a stall in front of the Wang Yuanwai's house to watch the people entering and leaving. There are many people entering and leaving, but he never saw that the Wang Yuanwai might not be in the house."

After the three of them said that, Zhao Rong told the suspicious points in Wu Youcai's family, the words of witness Deng Wenruo, and the news that Zhao Hu had inquired. The three of them were surprised and confused, as if falling into clouds and mist.

Zhao Rong ordered Master Song and Wei Que to secretly observe the movements of Liucheng and the mother-in-law of Liu, and personally took Captain Xing and Zhao Hu to the Wang Yuan’s outer house.

At noon, Zhao Rong and Captain Xing and Zhao Hu went straight to the king's house.

Soon after, when I arrived at the Wang family, I saw two stone lions squatting in front of the door, and the red door was closed. Captain Xing had to go forward and slam the door knocker heavily.

Soon after hearing footsteps inside the door, Captain Xing stepped back. With a creaking sound, the door opened a crack and stretched out one end and said, "Who are you waiting for?"

Captain Xing said, "Do you dare to ask if Mr. Wang is in the mansion? If you are lucky, this elder brother reported it and said that it was Lord Zhao who came to visit."

The clerk seemed to see that he was extraordinary and said, "My master is not here, he is in the piano hall."

Captain Xing asked, "Isn't Qintang here?"

The dick shook his head and said, "Qintang is on the street, on the small river. You will know it if you inquire."

Just as he was about to close the door, Zhao Rong stepped forward to stop him and asked, "Would Wang Fu, a family member in the house?"

The clerk shook his head again and said, "Early in the morning, Wang Fu went to Qintang with the master."

Zhao Rong thanked the clerk and went to the street with Captain Xing. Captain Xing left the Wang family and went to the street. Captain Xing asked the villagers and the villagers showed them the path.

After leaving the street, I saw a small river, winding and winding. There was a bluestone bridge on the stream. On both sides of the river, willows drooped. There was a house covered with white walls and green tiles. There was a plaque under the eaves, with two seal script words: "Qintang". There was a round suspension bridge between the Qintang and the river bank, which could be collected or placed.

Zhao Rong was amazed that this house was built with unique style and was quite ingenious.

The three of them came to the suspension bridge and looked up. The gate of the Qintang was closed. It seemed that the master and servant of the Wang Yuanwai were indeed here. Captain Xing said loudly: "Do you dare to ask the great charity of the Wang Yuanwai, who is here?"

He shouted three times, but there was no response.

Zhao Hu said: "Why don't you see the echo? Maybe you have left."

Captain Xing said, "You will know when you go in and take a look."

Zhao Rong agreed. Captain Xing was in front of him, Zhao Rong and Zhao Hu then crossed the suspension bridge, Captain Xing pushed open the door and shouted twice, but no one replied. Captain Xing lifted his head and walked into the hall.

Zhao Rong stood at the door and looked carefully. He saw a desk in the middle of the hall, and a piano was placed on it. There was a charcoal stove in front of the desk, and the fire was burning vigorously. There were long strips of characters hanging on the left and right. There was a door on the side, but there was another small room.

Captain Xing saw that there was no one in the hall and walked towards the inner room.

Zhao Rong and Zhao Hu entered the hall and looked at the objects. He heard Captain Xing screaming. He turned around and saw Captain Xing's face full of fear and waved his hand. Zhao Rong and Zhao Hu walked over quickly, but saw two people lying in the inner room, one of whom looked outward, and he could see clearly that it was Wang Yuanwai!

Zhao Rong touched his breath and shook it hard for a few times. Wang Yuanwai struggled for a while, and opened his eyelids with difficulty, as if he recognized Zhao Rong, and said with all his might: "Leaf, Ye..." The voice was weak, like the sound of a mosquito.

Zhao Rong leaned over and asked, "Who is the murderer?" Captain Xing, and Zhao Hu also held his breath and listened carefully.

The king was so angry that he murmured, "Money, money..." After that, he tilted his head and neck and died. He looked with his body, lying in a pool of blood, and blood flowed out from under his abdomen.

Captain Xing said in surprise: "The murderer left shortly, maybe just before I arrived. Unexpectedly, the murderer waited one step ahead of me."

Zhao Hu said: "I don't want this Wang Yuanwai to suffer a sudden disaster. Could it be that there is a big conspiracy in the middle?"

Zhao Rong walked past the body of the king and went to see another person. The man was dressed in a servant, but he was stabbed in the back. I guess this person was Wang Fu.

Zhao Rong frowned, and murders were one after another. What was the reason?

Captain Xing asked how to deal with it. Zhao Rong ordered Zhao Hu to go around quickly and ask the villagers whether they found suspicious figures. Furthermore, he asked someone to inform Wang Junwai's family. Zhao Hu took the order and left. Zhao Rong looked around and saw four pear-wood chairs, each with tea tables on both sides, with tea bowls and vases on them. There was a table next to the west window, with books and pens and inkstones on the table, and an ancient inkstone next to it. This inkstone was a few points higher than an ordinary inkstone. Another wolf hair was placed, with ink stains, which seemed to have been used by someone. There was a wooden bed under the east window, an autumn-colored quilt on the bed, and a small plum blossom-shaped table at the head of the bed.

Zhao Rong looked at the coffee table and there were two bowls. He opened the lid and looked at one bowl full. The other bowl was only half left. Zhao Rong looked at the bowl carefully.

Captain Xing was surprised and said, "Sir, what's wrong with this bowl?" Zhao Rong said, "This tea must have been drunk by the real murderer." Captain Xing said, "How can you know?" Zhao Rong said, "Sir."

Zhao Rong checked the indoor objects again, neatly and orderly. Captain Xing left the room and observed the hall, and there was no suspicious sign. Zhao Rong came out of the room and frowned and thought.

Captain Xing whispered: "This case is very strange. The real murderer seems to be for money. There is no trace of turmoil in the hall."

Zhao Rong said: "The real culprit is obviously coming with a conspiracy. He must be familiar with the master and servant of the King of the Uncle. The master and servant of the King of the Uncle were not prepared at all. The real culprit suddenly took advantage of the two of them's negligence. Did the king of the Uncle ever expect it? Judging from the injuries of the two, the real culprit was quick and ruthless."

Captain Xing was puzzled and said, "Why does the king mean when he was dying? What does the 'Ye' mean? What does the 'Qian' mean? Is the real murderer called Ye Qian? Or is his surname Ye, or Qian? One person, or two?"
