Chapter 183 Tricky, what is the murderer's motive?
In the plum blossom building, Su Cheng stood in front of the window and looked at the street outside the window. He pondered for a moment before turning to look inside the house.
If you want to find the murderer, you must first infer the murder motive of the murderer. There are only these four common murder motives.
One is love killing, the second is wealth killing, the third is revenge killing, and the fourth is random killing.
Thinking of this, Su Cheng took a look at the situation inside the house.
There are not many decorations in the house, only a couch, a dressing table, a table and two chairs. The middle part is empty and looks like it is used for dancing for Miss Feifei.
At this moment, nothing else in the house had moved, the quilt and dressing table were neatly arranged, and there was no sign of being turned around at all.
This ruled out the possibility that the other party was killing people for money.
As for killing people for sex, it is even more impossible. The clothes of the girl Feifei who fell to the ground were intact, and there were no signs of fighting or struggle at the scene. The other party killed the girl Feifei completely with one blow from the front.
If it is a murder for sex, it will more or less violate the body of Miss Feifei before or after death.
But now the scarf on the face of Miss Feifei has not been revealed. The other party may have killed Miss Feifei without even seeing Miss Feifei. How could it be for money?
All that is left is to kill people for revenge and randomly.
As the courtesan, Miss Feifei may have a bad relationship with other girls in the building, whether in the previous place or in the Meihua Building, which makes the other party buy a murderer.
As for random murder, it is not impossible. After all, Meihua County has been promoting its opening for a long time for the long time. Many wealthy dignitaries have come. Perhaps some extremely vicious people come here to rob these people. In the process, they see.
When I arrived at Miss Feifei, I killed her.
Just as Su Cheng was thinking, footsteps came from outside the house, and several yamen runners walked in with a submissive maid.
"Marty, Lord He, this is Miss Feifei's maid." A yamen runner reported to Su Cheng and He County Magistrate.
When Su Cheng heard this, he glanced at the maid. The other party lowered his head, trembling all over, and looked a little nervous.
After all, he is a girl, so it is normal for him to be like this when encountering such a thing. Su Cheng did not make things difficult for the other party and asked immediately:
"Since you are the maid of Miss Feifei, I must know what happened last night, so you can tell me."
While wiping tears, the maid sobbed, "Go back... Go back to the marquis, last night, I received guests in the corridor outside. Every time Miss Feifei served one guest, I would call the next one in."
"It lasted from last night until around Mao hour. It was normal inside the house. I could hear the guests' praise for Miss Feifei from time to time."
"When it was approaching Mao's hour, after the last Mr. Wu came out, there were no guests outside, and our plum blossom building was about to close. Then I returned to the house to serve Miss Feifei in the bathing and rest."
"But... But when I opened the door, I saw that Miss Feifei was actually lying in a pool of blood, and there was still a lot of blood. I was frightened at that time, and I screamed before I ran out and called for someone."
The maid's words made Su Cheng and others frown.
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes. If the maid's description was based on the maid, the last young master Wu who had met Miss Feifei would be the biggest suspect!
But this was not right, because he had just speculated that the murderer might have jumped out of the window, and that Young Master Wu went out from this room openly.
The two are contradictory, and there are two possibilities: either Mr. Wu is the murderer, and the other party deliberately opened the window in the house to mislead them to solve the case.
Or Mr. Wu is not the murderer at all, and the murderer has someone else!
But no matter what, Mr. Wu, as the last person to meet Miss Feifei, must control her to ask.
Fortunately, he had just ordered the person he had met Feifei for the last time. I believe that the yamen runners in Meihua County should be able to find this person soon.
Now Meihua County has closed the city gates, and no one can go out from here. In addition, it is very close to the inn, so it is not difficult to find that Mr. Wu.
"When Mr. Wu was in Miss Feifei's room, did you hear anything?" Su Cheng looked at the maid and asked.
The maid thought about it, then shook her head: "When I returned to the marquis, I didn't hear any movement. Everything was as usual. Moreover, when Mr. Wu came out, he had a smile on his face, as if he was satisfied with Miss Feifei's dance."
Everything is as usual?
Could it be that Mr. Wu really has nothing to do with this matter? The murderer only entered the room after Mr. Wu?
But there were many guests at the door, and there were maids in the corridor. The only way the murderer wanted to sneak into the house was to come in through the window.
But if the window is closed, the other party will definitely make a sound if he wants to break the window and enter. Such a loud noise, the maid at the door will not be able to hear it.
Of course, there is no possibility that the windows in the house were originally opened!
"Do you know if the windows in the house are open or closed?" Su Cheng pointed at the open window and asked.
The maid then looked up at the open window, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Mr. Marquis, this window has always been closed."
"Oh? Why is this?" Shen Youwei asked first.
The maid explained: "As the courtesan of the Plum Blossom Tower, Wuzi can only watch it separately for the guests who have paid in. If the window is opened, people on the street outside can see it, so this window has always been closed.
"
After hearing this, Su Cheng raised his eyebrows. This girl Feifei was quite dedicated and knew that her dancing posture could only be watched by paying guests.
But this is a bit tricky!
How the murderer entered the house became a mystery!
No matter how powerful a master is, he cannot break into the window without making any noise.
How did the murderer enter the room through the eyes and ears of everyone, and how could he kill Feifei from the front?
All of these need to be investigated.
"How is your lady's relationship with others in the Plum Blossom Tower? Apart from the guests, have anyone else in the Plum Blossom Tower ever entered this room?"
Su Cheng felt that since the murderer was familiar with the situation here, he might be an insider.
If someone is jealous of Feifei as a courtesan, it is not impossible to get rid of Feifei.
But the maid shook her head after hearing this: "It's impossible. Miss Feifei is generous and treats the sisters in the Meihua Building very generously. The sisters in the building have a good relationship with her. It's impossible that the people in the Meihua Building should start."
"And since Miss Feifei received the first guest, I have been serving in the corridor, and the other sisters have never been here."
"Besides, where can we women dare to do this murder?"
These words made Su Cheng nod slightly, which made him somewhat reasonable.
At this moment, footsteps came again outside the house.
