Chapter 46 The Dead Rest in Peace
When Yang Youchang was taken to the six gates, he was dejected and had a slumped look on his face.
Xia Yue said calmly: "Do you know why I arrested you?"
Yang Youchang nodded.
"I knew I would be discovered." Yang Youchang cried sadly, looking like he was about to cry at any time.
But this look makes people suspicious. This is not the look of a murderer being discovered, but full of helplessness.
Xia Yue said expressionlessly: "Tell me, how did you threaten and blackmail Kim Jong-li and kill him?"
Yang Youchang's face changed drastically: "No, I didn't."
"No, then where did you get so much money?"
With a snap, Ye Caitang threw the prescription and medicine dregs from Jiufutang in front of Yang Youchang: "These fifteen days of medicine cost ten taels of silver."
Ye Caitang gritted his teeth: "The medicine your mother took before can only cost one tael of silver a month."
"Master gave it to me. Master asked me to help him keep the secret."
Yang Youchang still has that honest and honest look, which makes people feel that he is telling the truth.
"What secret?"
Yang Youchang let out a long sigh: "I saw Master kill Lin Ling."
Ye Caitang suddenly stood up.
"Calm down." Xia Yue put his hands on Ye Caitang's shoulders, pressed them comfortingly, and asked her to sit down.
Yang Youchang was startled by Ye Caitang and looked a little scared.
Xia Yue said: "Go on."
Yang Youchang said: "My master is short of money during this time."
"Kim Jong-ri shows people Feng Shui and performs rituals, and he earns a lot of money. Why is he short of money?"
"Although it's quite a lot, it's not particularly many. The main reason is that he is outside, and there is one... cough cough cough..." Yang Youchang didn't know that Fu Sheng came to him, so he was very hesitant, but under Xia Yue's majesty, he still said
: "I have a son, and all his money has been given to him over the years."
This is quite different from what they found out.
Yang Youchang said: "His son is not very good at making money. The master has been worried that his son will live a hard life in the future without him, so he tried every means to make money. This time, the Meng family's old house did a ritual. He said that Lu Waibei, who bought the house,
My family is very rich and I can make a good fortune."
Although it didn't sound good, Yang Youchang's description of Kim Jong-li was very consistent with what they found out about Kim Jong-li's personality.
Yang Youchang said: "But although Lu Waibei is rich, he is stingy and they can't reach an agreement. Lu Waibei is only willing to spend one hundred taels of silver to perform a simple ritual."
"Master was very unhappy with Lu Waibei, and wanted to do some tricks in his house so that he would be uneasy after moving into the house. But that day when he was burying things in the house, he was attacked by the man named Lin Ling.
The girl saw it."
Ye Caitang's face tensed up.
Although Yang Youchang seems to be a simple and honest person, he probably did a lot of deceitful and abducting things with Kim Jong-li, and his speech is very logical and clear.
Yang Youchang said: "Master got into an argument with Lin Ling, and in a hurry, he strangled her unconscious for fear of being discovered. Then, he told me that he had a way to make Lu Waibei bleed, so he carried Lin Ling
Gone."
Ye Caitang took a deep breath: "You didn't participate?"
"No, no." Yang Youchang waved his hands repeatedly: "I didn't know what Master wanted to do. I didn't know about it until later when I heard people shouting that people were dead."
"Then why didn't you report the crime? This is a murder case. Do you know how serious it is?"
Yang Youchang's face twisted into a ball. He stood up suddenly, then knelt on the ground with a plop: "My mother is dying. Master, he gave me one hundred taels of silver. He said no one would find out, as long as I didn't say no.
If you go out, nothing will happen."
There is something that Xia Yue and the others still can't figure out.
"Kim Jong-li chose to kill people in the Meng family's old house. On the one hand, it was to silence him. On the other hand, it was to make Lu Waibei think that the place was really unclean and spend a lot of money to do it?"
Yang Youchang nodded repeatedly.
"However, we asked Lu Waibei, and Lu Waibei said that Kim Jong-li initially asked for a reward of one hundred taels. Later, he promised to perform a grand ritual, but did not increase the money."
It was because of the unreasonable details that they were quite confused about where to start.
Yang Youchang said: "That's because before Master had time to talk to Lu Waibei, someone died again that night. Master was frightened and he didn't dare to ask for it. So he still asked for one hundred taels. The one hundred taels were all
Gave it to me."
Ye Caitang pressed his eyebrows, which were twitching, and lowered his voice and said, "Then why did he commit suicide?"
"Because Master knows that you have found him." Yang Youchang said: "Since he was found in the tomb, he felt uneasy, and then he learned that you had gone to Haitian Villa, and he knew that this matter could not be hidden at all. It's just that
…”
Yang Youchang wiped his eyes: "I thought the master would leave the capital, but I didn't expect that he would commit suicide. Maybe he committed suicide because he didn't want to implicate his son."
Yang Youchang's guess is reasonable. If Kim Jong-li dies, the case will be unsolvable, and his identity as the murderer will be confirmed, and the investigation will inevitably continue. When it is found that Fu Sheng is his son, he will definitely be implicated.
Kim Jong Ri is dead, the dust has settled, and everything is over.
Ye Caitang took off Xia Yue's hand and stood up slowly.
She walked up to Yang Youchang.
"Most of what you said is true." Ye Caitang said: "From Kim Jong-li's murder, to extortion, to giving you a hundred taels of silver...but there is one thing you said is wrong."
Yang Youchang looked at Ye Caitang with an unknown premonition.
Ye Caitang said slowly: "I am a widower. I examined Kim Jong-li's autopsy. He has an old injury on his left wrist. It will hurt when it rains. It might have been possible seven years ago, but now he no longer has the strength to hang Lin Ling."
Died on the Octagonal Pavilion."
In an instant, the color on Yang Youchang's face faded.
"You were the one who killed Lin Ling. You are strong enough. As a disciple, you also know Kim Jong-ri's methods. You are good at swimming, and your swimming skills are very good." Ye Caitang said: "Kim Jong-li is the mastermind, and you are the murderer. He
I committed suicide, on the one hand, not to implicate my son, but on the other hand, it was because of your threat."
Yang Youchang's whole body went limp, and he no longer looked like the honest man he had just been.
Someone outside the door said: "Sir."
"explain."
"Yang Youchang's mother is here." The policeman said from outside: "I want to ask Yang Youchang what happened and if he can go home."
"Go home?" Ye Caitang sneered: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go home. I can come and collect the body after a while."
Ye Caitang has seen many unscrupulous things in her life, but she has never said such harsh words.
Yang Youchang's expression changed. The word mother was his weakness. Before he could speak, Ye Caitang picked up the chair at hand and threw it at him.
