Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 144 Suspicious Mr. Du
"In that case, it's also a motive for murder. But, seeing that Mr. Du is sad doesn't seem like a fake, is he really so cruel?"

Mr. Yang still couldn't believe it. He thought it would be a bit far-fetched to kill the person who slept with him day and night just for this reason?
"Little son, what do you think?"

Su Yizhao could easily think of a famous line in his previous life, and couldn't help but find it funny.

"My lord calls student Yi Zhao!"

Su Yizhao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Actually, except for the dispute between the two, Master Du has other suspicious things."

"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Master Yang said seriously.

"Today, the students went to Mr. Du's cabin together with the adults. According to what he said, Mrs. Yao just happened to finish dressing. He glanced at it and went to the deck."

As soon as Su Yizhao finished speaking, Su Wenqing said, "Do you find it strange that Mr. Du remembers his wife's clothes?"

He smiled, and then said confidently: "It's not that Mr. Du lost money in his business, maybe Yao shi sold all the jewelry, and it's not certain that there are only a few pieces left, let alone that he gave Yao shi one of them." birthday gift."

Master Yang thought so deeply, so he nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, Su Yizhao shook his head, "It's not the matter that my son finds strange, but the Yao family didn't even sell the dowry shop or the land, so it might not necessarily sell the jewelry."

After being told by Su Yizhao, Lord Yang felt that Yao's behavior was also possible.

"If your husband really encounters difficulties, she will not be considerate and unwilling to help. She is really a cold-hearted person."

"We outsiders don't know about the matter between their husband and wife, so the students will not comment."

Maybe Yao Shi was disappointed with Master Du?After all, there is still a son, so her dowry can't be moved, otherwise she might lose the chance of making a comeback in the future.

"At that time, the student saw a horn comb in the corner of the dressing table, but did not see Yao's dowry.

The students have seen Mr. Du's confession. At that time, Mr. Du saw that Mrs. Yao had finished dressing, so he went to the deck to see the river view. when. "

Master Yang nodded, "Didn't Master Du say that the dowry was stolen? He said there were some jewelry in it. If the murderer killed himself for money, it would be reasonable to take away the dowry and bank notes."

"This is the cabin, not your own home. Most people will find it inconvenient, so they will naturally put all the jewelry in the dowry. If no one is guarding it, will the dowry be put away?"

Su Wenqing agreed, "Of course the valuables must be put away. There are people coming and going in this cabin, and fish and dragons are mixed together. How can you be careless?"

"That's it! How important is a comb to a woman? No matter how poor the family is, a woman cannot do without a comb. The horn comb is not expensive, but it is worth a lot of money. If it is lost, it will be very inconvenient, not to mention the loss of money. ?” Su Yizhao said.

Master Yang and Su Wenqing suddenly realized, and Su Wenqing said directly: "You mean that the Wang family was killed before the horn comb could be put into the dowry, and the murderer took away the property, including the dowry?"

Su Yizhao shook his head and said, "My son thought of something else."

"What's the matter?" Su Wenqing was very anxious at the moment, his appetite was completely whetted by Su Yizhao.

Even Master Yang looked at Su Wenqing eagerly, hoping that she would clear up the confusion as soon as possible.

"Do my lord and my father still remember the conversation at that time? I asked Master Du where the dowry had gone, and Master Du was surprised that the dowry was gone. If you just rummaged through the banknotes at the beginning, it would make sense."

Seeing the two nodding at the same time, Su Yizhao continued: "But I heard from Mr. Du that the jewelry on Yao's body is not cheap. For Mr. Du today, it should be considered a considerable fortune."

"Indeed! He said he only brought 600 taels when he returned home!" Su Wenqing replied.

"The son asked him, did he find out that the dowry was missing after searching the cage? He answered yes."

Seeing that the two were contemplating, Su Yizhao continued without waiting for them to ask questions, "But when he left, Mrs. Yao had just finished dressing and was stroking her hair. proof."

"So, you asked him if he had rummaged in the cage, and he answered yes without thinking, but he didn't look at the dressing table. If he really forgot the dowry, shouldn't he look back at the dressing table to make sure?"

Su Wenqing clapped his palms, and finally thought of the violation.

Master Yang was analyzed by the two, and he also noticed that something was wrong.

"Master Du said that he brought 600 taels of silver, whether it is true or not, we don't know for now, after all, no one has opened his cage to see." Su Yizhao reminded.

Mr. Yang thought for a moment and said, "Are you suspicious of Master Du? Indeed! How much money was lost is what he said all the time, how do other people know?"

"If he hides the dowry and banknotes, kills his wife, and then pretends to be a thief to kill him, it is very possible." Su Wenqing nodded.

"But Mr. Du's stature is not high, comparable to Yao's, and it doesn't match the No.1 murderer you said." Master Yang suddenly remembered what Su Yizhao said before, so he retorted.

"He may be the murderer, or he may not be the first murderer."

Su Yizhao paced and pondered, "The students also found that when Master Du lifted the clothes covering Yao's head and face when the autopsy was about to take place, his expression was a little off, and his eyes seemed to be avoiding him!"

"Maybe it's because of fear? After all, the staring eyes are really uncomfortable!"

Su Wenqing still has lingering fears when she thinks about it now, but she pretends to be calm on the surface.

"Isn't it like this when he hugged Yao Shi to the bed? His expression was different, his eyes dodged, as if he didn't dare to meet Yao Shi's eyes."

Master Yang pondered for a moment, and said, "So you think Master Du is the murderer?"

He thought for a while, and added: "Oh! It should be one of them?"

"My lord, don't worry, let's analyze Mrs. Wang and Wang Wei again!" Su Yizhao did not express his own judgment, but named other suspects.

"These two are also suspected? But the boatman proved before that when Yao Shi was killed, it was impossible for Wang Wei to come up to the cabin." Master Yang asked doubtfully.

"I don't know if my lord has observed the environment around the bilge and cabins? There are two roads in total, and there are guards in the middle, but these two roads are not the only way to go to the cabins."

This sentence inspired Su Wenqing, "You mean going into the water?"

"Yes! Strictly speaking, it's outside the ship. Wang Wei left the hold halfway, saying he was going to the toilet. The latrine is just below the guard. When I was wandering a few days ago, I accidentally glanced at it. There is a door on it. The window, the middle-aged men can pass through."

Master Yang stroked his beard and said, "But there is only half a stick of incense in the middle, how could he be in time?"
