Chapter Fifteen: Mrs. Chen

In the Yongding County government office, the two arresting officers, Wu Teng and Fan Ai, had sullen expressions and said nothing.

They are both famous detectives in Yongding County, but so far, they still have no clue about this missing persons case. They simply don't believe that Ye Feng can grasp the key clues to solve the case just by reading the confession.

As the saying goes, don't use your hobbies to challenge my expertise.

This time, the two of them endured pressure that they should not bear at their age.

"Chen Qi, male, thirty-six years old, married, childless, is the shopkeeper of Chenji Dyeing House in Yongding County.

Every other month, he would go to Lincheng on a fixed date to purchase the gray fabrics needed for the dyeing workshop, and every time he would take the boatman Hu San's boat. Before traveling, Chen Qi would inform Hu San a few days in advance and pay one penny in advance.

As a deposit, this trip has been going on for more than three consecutive years and has never been changed.

Yesterday noon, around 6:00 p.m., Chen Qi left home and headed for the ferry as usual.

During this period, boatman Hu San had been waiting at the ferry, but Chen Qi was never seen.

Around the time of You, boatman Hu San thought that Chen Qi was not true to his words, so he changed his travel plan temporarily without telling himself, leaving him to wait for a whole day in vain. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he went to Chen Qi's house to ask for an explanation.

Boatman Hu San came to Chen Qi's home and met Chen Qi's wife to explain the whole story. Only then did they learn that Chen Qi was missing.

The two of them searched everywhere without success, so they went to the county government office to report to the officials.

That’s the whole story.”

Ye Feng showed the file in his hand and briefly recounted the whole story of the case.

These are all recorded in the files, so it is not surprising that they can be retold. Wu Teng and Fan Ai looked at Ye Feng and did not answer, but waited for him to continue.

Seeing the confused looks in their eyes, Ye Feng smiled faintly and pointed to the file in his hand: "The confessions of the boatman Hu San and Chen Qi's wife were very detailed. It can be said that they are watertight and perfect. But as everyone knows, the more they say, the more flaws they will have.

.The key to this case lies in the confession of boatman Hu San."

After listening to Ye Feng's words, Wu Teng suddenly frowned and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Hu San's confession?"

"Why did boatman Hu San go to Chen Qi's house?" Ye Feng asked him.

Wu Teng replied: "Of course I go to Chen Qi. Hu San thinks that Chen Qi has broken the promise, so he goes to Chen Qi to ask for an explanation."

"That's right, then do you still remember what the first words the boatman Hu San said when he went to Chen Qi's house to call the door?" Ye Feng asked again.

Wu Teng and Fan Ai looked at each other, becoming even more confused.

Wu Teng stepped forward to take the file, turned to the confession of boatman Hu San, and read: "Boatman Hu San said that he slapped the door of Chen Qi's house and shouted, 'Ms. Chen, is Chen Qi at home?'"

Ye Feng nodded and said calmly: "That's the problem."

The two looked at each other, still not understanding what Ye Feng meant.

Ye Feng smiled bitterly and turned to ask Fan Ai: "If you go to Wu Teng and slap on Wu Teng's door, what will you say?"

Fan Ai rubbed his head and said weakly: "Of course I call him directly, Wu Teng! Are you at home?!"

Ye Feng nodded and gave the two men a meaningful look.

The two of them still didn't realize what Ye Feng meant. They were silent for a long time. Wu Teng suddenly clapped his hands and shouted as if he was enlightened: "That's right! If the boatman Hu San goes to Chen Qi to ask for an explanation, call the door."

You should call Chen Qi by his name directly! Instead of calling his wife, Mrs. Chen! Then ask Chen Qi if he is at home!"

Fan Ai also reacted suddenly and added: "As soon as I opened my mouth and called Mrs. Chen, Hu San must have known that Chen Qi was not at home! Therefore, Hu San must have known that Chen Qi was missing at that time!"

Ye Feng looked at the two people's reactions and smiled knowingly.

The more Wu Teng and Fan Ai thought about it, the more excited they became, and the more they talked about it, they became more and more excited, just like students trying to figure out the answer to a word problem.

"Yes! Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"

"Your mind is full of girls from brothels, what the hell can you think of!"

"Ye Feng, you have become smarter after being sent to death row once!"

"Hahaha!"

Ye Feng looked at the two people celebrating continuously, and for a moment he didn't know whether they were scolding him or praising him.

"I have to report to the county magistrate quickly!"

"I'll take people to catch Hu San!"

The two sang in harmony and tacitly distributed the next work.



Zhou family, inner hall.

The sound of Zhou Changsheng reading aloud could be heard from time to time in the quiet courtyard.

"Whoever loses the world loses his people! Whoever loses his people loses his heart!"

"With an unbearable heart, carry out unbearable politics, and govern the world with the palm of your hand!"

"A benevolent person is a human being. Kissing one another is the greatest! A righteous person is a suitable person. Respecting the virtuous is the greatest!"

In the room, Magistrate Zhou was sitting on a chair, looking at the official hats on the table, and he was going crazy.

His face was full of sorrow, and he kept sighing. The sound of Zhou Changsheng's reading echoed in his ears, and he became more and more upset as he listened.

As the county magistrate of Fuguo County, the capital city of Shenzhou, he has always been in a depressed state. He has been the magistrate for more than ten years. Although he has made no mistakes, he has no political achievements at all.

This case of the disappearance of a wealthy businessman has attracted widespread attention. If this case can be solved, it will definitely be a brilliant political achievement.

But how to solve this case? Chen Qi’s body was nowhere to be seen when he was alive, and his body was nowhere to be seen after his death. Where can he find it?!

Magistrate Zhou became angrier and angrier, angrier and angrier, and his whole body became more and more irritable.

"Dad, let's have something to eat."

Zhou Youshuang walked into the inner hall carrying a bowl of tea and several plates of refreshments.

County Magistrate Zhou looked up at her and sighed: "I really have no appetite."

It is said that a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket. At this time, only Zhou Youshuang's words can make him listen.

Zhou Youshuang placed everything in the tea tray on the table and said comfortingly: "Dad, this is your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Have a sip of tea and a snack. Maybe you will be able to think of something in a while? You can always take a rest.

It is good."

Magistrate Zhou recovered his thoughts, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "It's better to be a daughter. Look at your brother. He excerpts from saints' classics every day and actually says some false and empty things. The Zhou family is pointing at him and turning against him. There is no chance.

"

Just as he was talking, the sound of rapid footsteps came. Wu Teng quickly walked into the inner hall, crossed the threshold and stood still. He bent down and held his hands in his hands. His tone was full of excitement and excitement: "Your Excellency, the case of Chen Qi's disappearance.

A major discovery has been made. Please sign a ticket immediately, and I will lead people to find the murderer!"

These words made Magistrate Zhou tremble violently, and the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"What? Say it again?!"

Wu Teng composed himself and described in detail all the analysis and discussions he had just had with Ye Feng and Fan Ai to Magistrate Zhou.

"Sir, we all agree that this is not just a missing person case, but a murder case motivated by money. Hu San, the boatman, is addicted to gambling and lost a lot of money. This time he saw Chen Qi carrying a large amount of money.

After seeing the money, he killed Chen Qi. Then he lied that he had never seen Chen Qi, went to Chen Qi's house to look for him, and then reported it to the police together with Chen Qi's wife."

After listening to Wu Teng's description, Magistrate Zhou's breathing gradually became heavier and he was stunned.

Not only was he shocked by the truth of the case, but he was also shocked by Ye Feng's analysis results.

"You just said that these were all inferred by Ye Feng based on a confession?!"

Wu Teng and Ye Feng have been friends for many years, and the Ye family and Zhou County Magistrate's family are old friends. They did not take credit and reported everything truthfully: "Yes, it is indeed the result of Ye Feng's analysis based on the confession!"

Magistrate Zhou slumped down on his chair, feeling deeply shocked.

Zhou Youshuang's eyes were full of admiration. Although she didn't understand case investigation, it was not difficult to conclude from Wu Teng's description that this time Ye Feng helped her father solve a big problem.
