Early the next morning, Yang Sen quickly ran into the official's house and shouted to Duan Fei: "Brother Duan, a woman has come to identify the body. The deceased's name is Lu Lan, a businessman from this county. Head Yan asked me to come and ask."
Would you like to go over and take a look?"
Duan Fei's eyes lit up, and he turned around and said to Shi Bin and Guo Wei: "Let's go take a look!"
The four of them rushed to the mortuary and saw Yan Captou accompanying a middle-aged woman out of the mortuary into the yard. The woman wiped her tears with a scarf and sobbed: "My husband is dead."
What a misfortune... Your Majesty must make the decision for the slave family and catch the murderer as soon as possible to comfort my husband's soul in heaven... Please accept a little tea money, sir. After the case is concluded, the slave family will prepare generous gifts to thank you all..."
Yan Captou put the red envelope into his arms and said: "Mrs. Lu, you're welcome. In order to solve the case as soon as possible, we have something to ask you. Please forgive me. Does your husband have any enemies? When did he leave home and why?
And go?"
Mrs. Lu recalled and replied: "Qi... My husband has always been generous. He has made friends all over the world in more than 20 years of business. I have never heard of any enemies he made. At the beginning of the month, he took his clerk Lu Da to go to other places to collect accounts. He was originally scheduled to be here.
I went home before the tenth of the month, but after ten days there was still no trace. The slave family sent someone to look for her, but they said that her husband had already paid the bills and returned. The slave family has been scared these days, but they don’t want the nightmare to come true..."
A maid who was supporting Mrs. Lu interjected: "It must be that damn evil slave Lu Da who was jealous of money, stole money and killed people, and then ran away. Otherwise, why was the master killed but Lu Da was nowhere to be seen?"
"It's not impossible..." Yan Captou glanced at Duan Fei. Duan Fei was about to speak when he heard someone shouting outside: "Duan Fei! Why are you here?"
Xu Dianshi came angrily, and Yan Cap stepped forward to greet him. He cupped his hands and answered for Duan Fei: "Master Xu, it was Master Min who ordered me to take Duan Fei, Shi Bin and Guo Wei to investigate the case separately.
If such a two-pronged approach can solve the case faster, what do you think, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Dianshi sneered and said: "Humph, since it is Master Min's idea, what else do I have to say? You guys arrived before me, so you must have asked something, why don't you tell me? Can't you hide anything from me?"
"Of course not," Duan Fei respectfully clasped his fists at Xu Dianshi and said, "Mr. Xu, we have just arrived. According to Mrs. Lu, Lu Lan took his servant to collect the account and was killed on the way back. The servant Lu
Da was nowhere to be found. The money collected from the account and Lu Lan's valuable rings, jade pendants and other items were all taken away. Therefore, everyone suspected that Lu Da was responsible. However, I don't think it is the case. Lu Lan only took Lu Da with him.
To collect the bill, he obviously has great trust in him. Lu Da would not do that. Firstly, secondly, why didn’t Luda steal money and kill people in the deserted suburbs outside the city? Is it more convenient to kill people and dump their bodies in the city? Thirdly,
According to common sense, killing people and robbing wealth are often caused by a single thought. The crimes are often committed in a hurry and will never be so complicated. Therefore, I don’t think Lu Da is the murderer. Of course, we still have to find him. He must be seen alive and dead.
Only when you see the corpse."
Yan Captou kept winking at Duan Fei, but Duan Fei finished speaking as if he hadn't seen anything. Xu Dianshi hummed with satisfaction and said, "It seems that it is as you said, and Lu Da's suspicion can be ruled out."
, but we still have to find him, arrest him severely, put up a notice, and draft a report to the Yingtian Punishment Department, go out to sea to capture the official documents, and be sure to find Lu Da as soon as possible. Since you want to investigate the case separately, then go
, I still have some things I want to ask Mrs. Lu for confirmation, so I won’t send them to you.”
Yan Captou said goodbye to Duan Fei and the others with a dark face. Before Yan Captou could say anything, Duan Fei burst into laughter and said in a low voice: "Yan Captou, don't be angry. I'm setting up a puzzle. What do you think, Mr. Xu?"
Will he believe what I say? I'm afraid he has already decided that Lu Da is the murderer."
Yan Captou's face looked better, and he said in surprise: "Why did you say that?"
Duan Fei smiled and said: "If I say anything at this time, many adults will think that I am lying to him. Even if he doesn't think so, in order to show his cleverness, he will listen to my words in reverse. Look, he will definitely work very hard.
It’s okay to capture Lu Da, Lu Da must be found, and Mr. Xu won’t come to trouble us if he has something to do.”
Guo Wei chuckled, and Shi Bin asked: "Brother Fei, what should we do now? Yesterday, Mr. Xu cross-examined **** and they couldn't find anything out all day long. Now you say that Lu Da is not the murderer, and Mrs. Lu
Being snatched away by Dianshi to ask, what else can we do now?"
Duan Fei said decisively: "We need to start from two aspects. Guo Wei and I will go back to the scene to see if there are any missed clues. Shi Bin, please ask Jiang Chang to go back to his hometown to have a look, and then go with Yan Captou to interrogate Lu Lan."
How can a businessman have no enemies among his relatives, friends, neighbors, and people with whom he has business dealings? Mrs. Lu’s words may not be fully believed. Maybe she doesn’t even know it herself. Focus on checking whether there has been any suspicious behavior recently, sudden wealth or sudden wealth.
Those who leave inexplicably and no one knows where they are going.”
Yan Captou nodded and said: "That's it. By the way, Fei, Lu Lan lives in the west of the city. Why did the corpse appear in the Earth Temple in the east of the city? As soon as you moved away from the Earth Temple, someone hid the corpse in it. Among them
Does it have anything to do with it?"
Duan Fei said: "This is also a question that Guo Wei and I need to investigate and verify."
Duan Fei and Guo Wei went with Yan Captou, and Shi Bin went their separate ways. On the way to the Earth Temple, Guo Wei asked: "A Fei, why don't you go with Shi Bin? I saw that Shi Bin was a little unhappy just now."
Duan Fei hummed and explained: "I deliberately asked him to follow Yan Captou. This kid is too young, so he should learn from Yan Captou. The reason why I didn't bring him here is because he is too familiar with this place.
You are familiar with it, but his observation skills are insufficient and he often misses some clues when he is preconceived. You are much more experienced than him, so you might be able to discover something."
Guo Wei suddenly said "Oh" and said nothing more. The two returned to the Earth Temple and observed carefully. After checking the Earth Temple for a long time, there was still no clue. The two of them couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After looking at each other, Duan Fei pondered.
Said: "This place is too clean. Either the murderer was very careful, or he returned to this place afterwards to clean up all the traces. Let's look elsewhere."
Guo Wei sighed, and the two of them turned to walk towards? There were already people watching outside the Earth Temple. Duan Fei's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw a familiar figure flashing. With a thought in his mind, he shouted to the person: "Black Monkey,
Come here!"
The man who was hiding behind others walked out with a sneer, and said with a smile: "Brother Fei, you are looking for me."
Duan Fei shouted: "Why are you hiding from me?"
The gangster nicknamed Black Monkey had a thin build and slightly dark skin, and he lived up to his name. He came to Duan Fei with a smile, scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm not hiding, I'm just used to it... Who's that?"
Brother Fei, are you a master now?"
Duan Fei was relieved and said again: "Why are you hanging around here? Could it be that you have taken a fancy to someone's pocket?"
Black Monkey's eyes flickered and he said: "Brother Fei, look what you said, I just came out and saw people watching here, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity."
Duan Fei said: "You are still so curious. Didn't Mr. Xu spank your butts yesterday? Go back and be honest and don't cause trouble, you know?"
Black Monkey agreed: "Yes, Brother Fei, I will tell everyone later...Brother Fei, can you..."
The black monkey looked hesitant and kept glancing at Guo Wei. Duan Fei nodded towards Guo Wei. Guo Wei walked away as if nothing had happened and shouted to the onlookers: "What are you looking at? You have nothing to do? Come here, the first few
Did you see anything strange during the day?"
The onlookers dispersed in a hurry, and Black Monkey winked and whispered to Duan Fei: "Brother Fei, what I told you last time..."
