Chapter 401 Friendship of Men
Liu Sha nodded: "What you said makes sense."
"Hmm..." Ye Caitang said: "Is it possible that although he was holding a knife, he was just bluffing, so he didn't dare to stab Ji Changping with the knife, and chose to use a wooden stool instead. But he didn't expect that he was so strong.
He actually beat Ji Changping to death with just one stool. Then he ran away in a panic and fell down?"
Liu Sha nodded: "What Xiaoye said makes sense."
Xia Yue and Ye Caitang looked at Liu Sha together.
Liu Sha spread his hands and said, "What you said is indeed reasonable. I am the most fair person."
I am impartial and not afraid of power. I will support whoever makes sense.
Before there is evidence, everything is just suspicion, and no conclusion can be made no matter how reasonable it is.
Xia Yue said: "Check the whole room to see if anyone else has been here or if there are any other clues."
It's a pity that the ground outside is full of gravel and weeds. Even if someone comes and leaves, no footprints will be left. There is water on the ground inside the house, so no footprints will be left. Even Gao Zhong and Ji Changping's own
No footprints were left.
It was hard to tell for the moment whether the death was caused by a fight or whether a third party appeared.
Xia Yue pondered for a while: "People can come and go freely, but fish can't. With so much water, even if it is put in a basin, it is not something that one person can move. Go check and see if there is anyone nearby who often transports fish in and out.
.”
And it’s very strange. If you say killing people, just kill people and make the fish everywhere. What do you mean?
Liu Sha took the order and left. Ye Caitang stepped on the gap between the fish and walked out carefully.
The lives of people by the Qingshui River are a bit strange.
"It's a pity these fish." Ye Caitang said: "No one dares to eat them."
What a waste, so many fish are worth a lot of money.
Xia Yue was infected with the virtue of diligence and frugality by Ye Caitang, and he looked at it with some pity. After reading it, he looked at it again.
Xia Yue stood still at the door of the room and asked Ye Caitang: "Have you seen what they were doing on the Qingshui River these days when they were fishing and closing their nets?"
Ye Caitang nodded.
See you there.
Fishing is hard work, exposed to wind and sun, and it must be very tiring if you do it every day.
But it is also an interesting job, and it is fun once in a while. Xiao Jia collected a net of fish this morning. Anyway, it was hot and not afraid of freezing, so they all rolled up their trouser legs and went down.
Shen Xingyao carried a small bucket and picked up the shrimps in it with toner. He picked up only half of the bucket.
Ye Caitang suddenly remembered.
"There are only fish here."
"Yes." Xia Yue said: "There are only fish here, no shrimps, crabs, and nothing else."
So this is not a net of fish that has just been caught, it has been selected.
There are many fishermen on the Qingshui River. They catch the fish in one net and do not divide it into small pieces when selling it to dealers. Because the total amount is small, it is very troublesome to divide it into small pieces.
For example, this net may only have ten shrimps, one crab, and the rest are fish. It is difficult to calculate them all individually, so they are just general calculations, which everyone often does. After weighing them, the price will be almost the same, and it will not be too big.
deviation.
But after the fishmonger takes it away, he has to separate it.
When we arrived at his place, there were more varieties of each species. Not only were the shrimps and crabs separated, but the types of fish were also separated.
The fish on the Qingshui River are usually sent to vegetable markets and restaurants in the capital, or to wealthy families. Many of them have requirements. You cannot just give people a general calculation of how much the fish, shrimps and crabs weigh together.
"The fish on the ground all seem to be of the same species. There are no shrimps or crabs. They must have been collected by dealers and sorted."
Xia Yue said: "Liu Sha."
Liu Sha hadn't taken a few steps and came back quickly.
"The catch here is sorted, so you should pay close attention to the fish sellers nearby."
Liu Sha hurriedly responded.
No matter how careful they were, Ye Caitang and Xia Yue's shoes still got wet, and the hems of their clothes got wet when they touched the ground.
If it were just water, that would be fine. It would dry up in a day. But this water was fish-raising water that exceeded the standard. It was very fishy and mixed with blood. Xia Yue said: "Go back and change clothes."
Xia Yue is sometimes more particular than Ye Caitang.
The bodies of Gao Zhong and Ji Changping have been transported out. It cannot be delayed too long in the hot weather. If there are no new doubts, they must be claimed by their families for burial.
Ye Caitang walked back with his toolbox in one hand and his clothes in the other.
Just halfway through, I heard a familiar voice.
"It's Brother Wang." Ye Caitang turned around suddenly and saw Wang Tong coming from a distance.
Wang Tong was not alone yet, there was another person following him.
But the man's hands were tied, and he was led by a rope, stumbling behind him, and occasionally falling down.
Then Wang Tong stopped and tugged on the rope impatiently. The man got up in a hurry and followed him stumblingly.
Ye Caitang asked curiously: "What did Brother Wang catch?"
It's like playing monkey.
Wang Tong and the man walked closer. Although he could not see his face clearly, he could clearly see that the man Wang Tong was tied up was tall, fat and strong.
Although Wang Tong is not too tall and strong, he still looks very tough. After all, he is a member of the Six Gates, not a weakling. But compared with the people behind him, he suddenly feels smaller.
Xia Yue said: "It seems to be a mountain."
But Wang Tong was already standing on the top of the mountain.
He kept dragging the man in front of everyone.
Everyone was shocked.
My dear, although this man's limbs are intact and he can still walk, his face is bruised and bruised, there is a bag on his forehead, and his clothes are in tatters, as if he had been severely beaten.
"What's wrong with this?" Ye Caitang couldn't help but said, "Who is this person? How could he cause such misery?"
"His name is Ma Hu." Wang Tong said: "The fishmonger on the Qingshui River. The thing on his face... was accidentally caused by a fall."
Wang Tong said, looked at the man, and tugged on the rope: "Yeah."
"Yes, yes, I accidentally fell down." Ma Hu said hurriedly, with a sad expression on his face. When he spoke, his wound was involved, and he grimaced in pain.
Who would have thought that Xiao Jia's cousin, who looked so honest and honest, could be so strong and able to fight. Xiao Jia usually seemed quite honest, not kind or kind.
Xia Yue and Ye Caitang were both a little sensitive to the word "fishmonger" now. When they heard this, they quickly asked: "What's wrong with this person?"
Wang Tong's words were concise and to the point: "This man first asked for two hundred taels of silver for my golden carp, but I didn't agree. Then he brought his younger brother to try to steal my golden carp."
