"Master Marquis, Mr. He, bring Mr. Wu who last met Miss Feifei!"
The government servant outside the door brought a young man wearing brocade clothes with a vain, pale face and sleepy eyes.
As soon as this person came into the house and saw so many people there, he couldn't help but twitch his lips, feeling a little strange.
However, when his eyes saw Feifei's body on the ground and the blood all over the ground, he screamed in fright and hurriedly ran towards the door.
Fortunately, the government officials were right behind this person, and two government officials immediately held him down.
Su Cheng couldn't help but feel disappointed when he saw that this person was so frightened by Feifei's body.
Such a person, who looked so frightened when he saw the corpse, could he be a murderer?
"Mr. Wu, right? You saw what happened at the scene. Miss Feifei was killed, and you were the last person to see her. Please tell me about your origins and what happened last night."
Su Cheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with this person and directly asked him about his identity and the last time he saw Feifei last night.
The young master Wu was being held up by the yamen, and he said with a panic look on his face: "Master Hou, I... I am Wu Liangcai, the second young master of the Wu family in Linjiang City. I heard that there are three oirans here, so I came here because of their reputation."
"I was unlucky last night. Many people wanted to watch Miss Feifei's dance alone, but I didn't bring much money, so I had to be at the back."
"When I entered, Miss Feifei was already a little tired, but she still finished dancing for me and sent me to the door. I... I don't know what happened next."
After Su Cheng heard these words, his brows suddenly became tangled.
Hearing these words is the same as not hearing them, there is no clue at all.
Feifei danced for so long last night, she must be very tired when it was Wu Liangcai's turn, and according to custom, even the oiran had to see the guests to the door.
There was nothing wrong with what Wu Liangcai said, but it proved that Wu Liangcai had nothing to do with Feifei's death.
Since Feifei could send Wu Liangcai to the door, it means that Feifei was killed after sending Wu Liangcai away.
The question still returns to before: How did the murderer enter this room quietly?
While Su Cheng was deep in thought, Wu Liangcai suddenly begged: "Master Hou, I...can I leave? Seeing Miss Feifei's body, I...I'm scared."
These words made Shen Youwei on the side snort coldly and roll her eyes.
"You and Miss Feifei were having so much fun here last night, and now you are scared when you see her body. Men really have no conscience!"
As soon as Shen Youwei said these words, Su Cheng and Liu Changfeng beside him couldn't help but twitch their mouths. The map cannon was a bit too loud to include them.
Wu Liangcai, however, was scolded by Shen Youwei and did not dare to say anything. He could only look at Su Cheng with a pleading look on his face, hoping to let him go.
But Su Cheng first reached out to comfort his wife, Shen Youwei, and then turned to look at Wu Liangcai: "Miss Feifei's matter is of great importance. In order to ensure that the news cannot be leaked, Mr. Wu is staying at the Plum Blossom Building these days.
"
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about food and accommodation. You just need to stay here and don't worry about anything else. If others ask, you will always say that you don't know. Do you understand what I mean?"
Wu Liangcai was just the son of an aristocratic family in Linjiang City, and he was not reused in the family. Otherwise, he would not have had much money, so he finally met Feifei.
By keeping this person, Su Cheng doesn't have to worry about the forces behind him. Moreover, he has made sufficient arrangements this time, and I believe Wu Liangcai will agree.
Sure enough, Wu Liangcai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that all food and accommodation were provided.
"Since it is the Marquis who has spoken, I have no choice but to reluctantly stay. But then again, when can I go back?"
Although Wu Liangcai agreed, people died here, and he was still frightened when he thought about living in such a place.
Su Cheng glanced at this person and said impatiently: "You can go back when the case comes to light and the murderer is found and the suspicion on you is completely cleared."
"Okay, take this person down!"
"Take it down, take it down quickly!" Magistrate He quickly stretched out his hand to signal the government officials to take action.
"Master Hou, you must find the murderer as soon as possible and clear my name!"
Wu Liangcai was taken away, and at the end he left a message saying that he wanted to be released as soon as possible.
In fact, Wu Liangcai was not a fool. He knew that Su Cheng stayed behind to stop his mouth and prevent him from spreading the news about Feifei's murder, otherwise he would not agree to stay here.
As soon as Wu Liangcai left, Su Cheng rubbed his temples and began to integrate the clues he had obtained so far.
First of all, the murderer had received professional training, otherwise he would not have been able to kill Feifei with one blow.
Secondly, if the opponent can jump out of the window on the third floor, he must have martial arts skills, otherwise it would be impossible to jump from here.
Furthermore, the other party is familiar with the situation here, so it is likely that an acquaintance committed the crime.
Based on this information, we can first determine that the murderer is a male, and he should have visited the Meihua Building before or last night.
It seems that the only people who meet this condition are the yamen of Meihua County and the Turtle Man employed by Meihua House!
Thinking of this, Su Cheng took a deep breath and immediately ordered: "He County Magistrate, I will handle this case personally. Your government officials no longer need to be responsible for following up on the case. Just let them secure the city gate and lead the way."
As soon as these words came out, not only Magistrate He was a little surprised, but the expressions of others also changed slightly, and they somewhat guessed what Su Cheng was thinking.
Only Shen Youwei looked at her husband-in-law with a strange look on her face: "Why are the local government officials suddenly not allowed to participate? They are familiar with the situation here. Without them, we will not even be able to find anyone."
Seeing that Shen Youwei didn't understand, Yang Lingxuan on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mrs. Su, it is precisely because they are familiar with the environment here that they are also suspicious!"
"As I said just now, the opponent killed Miss Feifei with one blow, which shows that even if the opponent is not very strong, he can still control his own power easily."
"Although the county officials are all rough people, there is no guarantee that no one will be able to do this, so they are the biggest suspects at the moment. If they are responsible for following up the case, once the murderer is among them, the other party will
You can keep track of our movements at any time.”
After hearing this, Shen Youwei showed a look of sudden realization, and she admired her husband even more in her heart. She didn't expect that her husband would identify the suspect group so quickly.
Only Magistrate He had a sad face: "Since the Marquis suspects the yamen servants, what should we do next? Where should we start? We can't arrest all the yamen servants for interrogation, right?"
There are thirty government officials in Meihua County. If they are all arrested and interrogated, it will definitely cause a huge repercussions, and the news of Feifei's murder will definitely not be concealed.
Su Cheng shook his head: "Now we can only investigate their whereabouts last night. In addition, we need to send people to visit the people on this street to see if anyone saw anyone jumping from here."
