Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 147

After hearing the news, Zhong Bo immediately hid himself, afraid that his master would see him, he didn't want to touch dead people!

Gu Yuan was also in awe, but he had to obey the master's order!

At the end of the preliminary examination, Su Yizhao determined the cause of death.

"It fits the characteristics of suffocation and was strangled to death. The marks of strangulation on his neck can tell that the murder weapon is hemp rope."

Su Yizhao threw away the handkerchief, and then told everyone behind him.

"It's another murder case!" Master Yang's expression was very serious. They guessed that Mr. Du was the murderer just now, but now Mr. Du is dead.

"My lord, please look, this Master Du is wearing soap boots, but when I rushed in just now, I happened to see the figure jumping out of the window, and that person was wearing cloth shoes."

"You mean you saw the murderer just now?" Master Yang immediately understood.

"It's not known yet, but the time when the heavy object fell into the water for the first time was actually one step faster than the time when the man jumped out of the window, which means that Master Du was thrown by him."

"Then who do you think the murderer will be? Wang Wei?" Mr. Yang asked, remembering that Su Yizhao asked shopkeeper Zhou to bring Wang Wei and Nanny Wang just now.

"Wang Wei is very suspicious!" Su Yizhao could only analyze in this way, but the death of Master Du doesn't mean that he himself has no suspicion.

"Maybe they turned against each other, and the two were out of profit or threatened, which led to the murder of Master Du. But at present, we still need to find Wang Wei. If it is really him, I don't think his speed is so fast."

Unexpectedly, just after Su Yizhao finished speaking, he saw shopkeeper Zhou running over in panic, "My lord! It's too bad, another passenger died on board!"

"Who's dead?" Su Yizhao asked quickly.

"It's Master Liu!" Shopkeeper Zhou said with a mournful face.

The upstart?Su Yizhao was very surprised.

"Where are Wang Wei and Nanny Wang?" She thought of these two people and asked immediately.

"Wang Wei has disappeared, and Mrs. Wang has already been taken to the main hall."

Shopkeeper Zhou's legs were a little weak at the moment, and three of them died in succession. He, the shopkeeper, has done his best.

"Come and carry the body back to Master Du's room. Let's go to Master Liu to have a look. Shopkeeper Zhou will lead the way!"

Lord Yang frowned, and at this moment, he didn't care about being polite to Su Wenqing, he gave instructions to the people present, and then strode towards the direction of the cabin.

Su Wenqing consciously called the guards to carry the body, while he followed Master Yang solemnly.

Needless to say, Su Yizhao has already followed Master Yang's pace.

A dagger was inserted into his chest and he was killed with one blow. Mr. Liu died in his cabin.

Su Yizhao stepped forward and took a look at Mr. Liu. He was lying on the floor next to the bed in only his underwear. It seemed that he was attacked while he was sleeping, but he was not lying on the bed. This is a suspicious point.

Su Yizhao also found that the gold ring and jade wrench he had worn before were gone, and his ten fingers were bare.

"Could it be true that Jiang bandits sneaked onto the boat? This is obviously a murder for money!"

The onlookers couldn't help but panic, especially the man who had just started the conflict with Master Liu was trembling at the moment.

"Oops! Will we be the next one?" Everyone panicked and suddenly became chaotic.

Master Yang also questioned Su Yizhao's deduction, "Perhaps there really are Jiang bandits? Otherwise, how can Master Liu explain it?"

"Whether there really are Jiang Bandits, this needs to be investigated, but Master Du's death has absolutely nothing to do with Jiang Bandits." Su Yizhao said with certainty.

"How do you know it has nothing to do with it? Maybe it was murdered by Jiang Bandits? This Mr. Liu has money at first sight, so he must be looking for money." The man who spoke just now couldn't help but said.

Su Yizhao looked at the man in surprise when he heard the words, "I said Master Du was not killed by Jiang Bandits, but I didn't conclude that Master Liu was not either. Whether it is true or not, must not be investigated?"

This person was silenced suddenly by Su Yizhao.

"Since Mr. Du's money has been stolen by the murderer, if he really wanted to kill him for money, then he would not come to kill Mr. Du again. Why should he take another life? It is completely superfluous."

Su Wenqing agreed very much, "That's right! Master Du's death must have nothing to do with the Jiang bandit. At that time, there were guards outside Master Du's cabin. Could it be that the other party spent a lot of trouble sneaking into his cabin just to kill Master Du? That’s a little far-fetched.”

"Shopkeeper Zhou, have you searched every corner of the boat? The boat is still in the center of the river. Even a person who knows how to swim will not have so much physical strength to swim ashore." Su Yizhao suddenly asked Shopkeeper Zou.

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded, "I've searched both the bilge and the toilet, and I'm opening the cabins to search one by one."

As he said that, he cupped his hands towards the crowd, "Everyone, we are in a hurry, so I can only ask you to bear with me."

This matter is related to everyone's life, and everyone does not want to hide a suspect in their cabin, so they all express their understanding and will not blame.

"Where is Mrs. Wang's room? Have you checked?"

The small room is also a single room, but the layout is not as good as that of the upper-class room. Generally, the dignified servants of rich families can't fit in the private room, so they will live in it.

Shopkeeper Zhou was taken aback, "This? When we broke in, Mrs. Wang was alone and there was no one else."

"Send someone to search immediately!" Su Yizhao's tone was urgent, and shopkeeper Zhou didn't dare to delay after hearing the words, so he went to do it immediately.

Su Yizhao thinks that Wang Wei has nowhere to escape, only Nanny Wang is there.Nanny Wang is his aunt, and the relationship between the two is not bad, so it is not uncommon for her to hide it for her nephew.

Crouching down, Su Yizhao carefully inspected the dagger on Master Liu's chest.

"The murderer is not the same person who killed Yao Shi!" Su Yizhao came to a conclusion.

"How can you see it?" Master Yang asked in doubt.

"You mean the daggers are different in style?" Su Wenqing also asked suspiciously.

"The difference in the style of the dagger doesn't mean anything." Su Yizhao shook his head, and then said: "The son refers to the location of his wound."

"I saw Yao's wounds just now, and judged that the murderer was three inches taller than her. Let's look at the wounds on Master Liu. Master Liu is about the same stature as Yao's.

However, his wound was on his chest, and it was from top to bottom. It seemed that the murderer was shorter than him. "

Su Yizhao talked about Master Du's wound, but his eyes were on the bed next to Master Liu.

"Is this just an inference? Everyone has different habits of holding a knife, or did the murderer just change his posture?"

Master Yang thought it would be too hasty to judge based on this?
"In fact, adults can find two people to demonstrate it. When the murderer faces the victim, his own stature determines his posture with the knife."

Then Su Yizhao found two boat passengers who volunteered to cooperate with them. These two people were similar in stature to Yao Shi and Master Liu respectively.

After that, three people who were taller and shorter than them, who were almost the same, were tested separately, and then Master Yang nodded in agreement.
